Q: 2 Iphones and a Jawbone ERA

I have an iPhone 5 and and iPhone 4 which I connect to my new Jawbone Era, which works with 2 phones.  When in range, it connects to the 4 before the 5, so when I push the button on the headset it brings up voice control on the 4 and not Siri on the 5.  If I manually turn off both bluetooth connections on the phones and turn them on in order (5 then 4) Siri works great.

 

How can I set it up so it connects to the 5 before the 4 without manual intervention?

 

Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

    What order were the phones originally paired in?  I'm guessing it was set up to pair with the 4, then the 5. The only thing I can suggest, and it may not make any difference at all, is to remove the pairings, and re-pair them. Pair with the 5 first, then the 4.

     

    It's most likely making the connection based on the original order of pairing, or based on the names of the phones (alphabetically), when both are detected at the same time.
