I have 5 Bluetooth devices, 3 of them connect to my Captivate every day, my Pioneer car stereo in my car, the stereo in our Nissan Quest, and our Panasonic cordless phone, and since they are all paired they should connect automatically when in range or when the cars are turned on. Recently they weren't connecting automatically and outside of pairing them all again, nothing seemed to work and I didn't know what was causing it.

Come to find out, every time I connected my phone to a computer via USB, even to charge it, even after I disconnected from the computer the Bluetooth wouldn't connect anymore until I turned Bluetooth Off and back ON, then everything would connect to Bluetooth just fine.
