Android Bluetooth won't connect to devices
Bluetooth connection failures fix by forgetting your phone and pairing it again from scratch. Corrupted pairing data is the most common cause. Toggle Bluetooth off and on first as a quick test, then forget and re-pair if that doesn't work.
When pairing information gets corrupted or outdated, your phone can't connect to your phone even though the hardware is fine. Forgetting your phone and pairing it again creates fresh pairing data, which fixes the problem almost every time.
- ✓Make sure your Bluetooth device is fully charged and powered on
- ✓Have your Bluetooth device in pairing mode (check its manual for how to enable this)
- ✓Stay within 1 meter of your phone while testing the connection

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Trying to connect repeatedly without forgetting the phone first. Corrupted data causes the same failure every time.
- Not putting the Bluetooth device into pairing mode before trying to pair. Devices won't appear in the list without it.
Signs you need professional help
- Re-pairing fails multiple times, your phone connects to other phones but never to yours, or your phone's Bluetooth won't discover any devices at all.
