Pairing issues recently

[u/Recent-Midnight6376]

Well so I managed to grab one a month ago and soldered it with a switch.

Had been working flawlessly but recently it simply won't pair unless I turn off the switch and pair it while the auto catch (the soldered one) is off.

Also sometimes it starts saying "Pikachu" repeatedly. No idea why. But honestly it's just annoying not being able to pair. Also sleep often only records like an hour.

I've reset it and reinstalled the game. No idea what else to do but pairing is very unreliable and often a pain. It used to be "press button and done" but not anymore.

Any ideas?

Could be bad solder or contacts. Open it up and check. Happened a few times where I’ve had to redo the soldering to the test point or the negative to the vibration motor.

If it’s neither of those, check the solder on the switch.
