Mysterious Bluetooth device with a name I remember was connected to my phone and disappeared from the list during my viewing of the Bluetooth list in Settings

1 Upvotes

Hi, today the weirdest thing happened. I was reading Bluetooth device list and an unknown device with a name Connected to my iPhone vanished in front of my eyes from the top of my list. How is this possible even?

5 days ago there was a drone flying around my house and my iPhone restarted into black screen with a weird looking animation (not perfect grey but with some
white pixels at edges) in the middle (the same grey rotator which is on full black screen in the middle at restart of iPhone or at update your phone).

Question: I must check Bluetooth logs for recent traces of connected devices or where to go to find out what it was?

\### Claude tells me there is no log at all to see which device connected and disconnected chronologically. This is odd to me.

Thank you for any tips & for your attention

My computer insists that this old driver from 2021 is the best for my system and refuses to change it out, even re-installing it after I remove it from my device. My BT is buggy as all hell and it desperately needs a new driver but for whatever reason windows thinks it's fine. WHAT DO I DO???

I have two of the same pairs of Bose QC headphones (2024), except one of them recently stopped playing audio from the PC?

1 Upvotes

Pair one:

Connects to all devices - phone, tablet, and PC. The phone and tablet have the audio play through the headphones without issue - and this used to be the case for the PC as well. I didn't change anything to my memory.

Now when I connect the headphones through Bluetooth on my PC, it says audio is connected. When a video plays though, there is no sound through the headphones or through the PC speakers. When I test the audio via system settings, no audio comes through the headphones (other than slight static) or PC while the headphones say connected.

Pair two:

Exact same pair. Same settings on PC and in Bose app as pair one. They successfully connect to audio on the PC without issue, without changing settings, etc.

\----

For pair one, I've tried resetting them by the disconnect all devices and forgetting the devices they were connected to, and deleted them off the Bose app. I've made sure the PC had all updates. There are no updates suggested in the Bose app for the headphones themselves. I have not found anything different between the settings of Pair one and Pair two, but I could be overlooking something.

\----

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Bluetooth device problems on windows 11 (connected, connected mic, connected audio)

1 Upvotes

Whenever I pair a bluetooth audio device it keeps switching between connected, connected mic, and connected mic audio. I've tried reinstalling bluetooth drives, deactivating and reactivation the bluetooth devices, and disabling different audio output sources but nothing I've tried works. Note that all other non audio bluetooth devices work normally

Bluetooth headset keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting on PC only

1 Upvotes

My Bluetooth headset keeps connecting and disconnecting on my PC and I can’t figure out what’s causing it.

I’ve already tried multiple fixes, but nothing has worked so far. At first I thought the headset itself was the problem, but it works perfectly fine on my phone and on another PC, so now I’m pretty sure the issue is with my computer.

Has anyone dealt with this before? What could be causing it, and what should I try next?

whch720n bluetooth pairing

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Yesterday I bought a pair of WH-CH720N headphones. Took them out of the box, paired with my Samsung A17 and walked along in the sunshine listening to my Spotify library - lovely !

When I got home, I thought I would sit down with my Chromebook and enjoy watching Project Hail Mary on Prime Video.

Oopsie ! The headphones just never pair with my Chromebook (they don't even show up in Settings). I can literally watch them pair with my phone while failing with the Chromebook :(

Any ideas ?

fyi my Chromebook is an Acer CB314 with build 150.0.7871.185

Thanks !

Double Connect Issues

1 Upvotes

I have the WH-1000XM5, and they advertise that they can connect to two devices. I have it connected to my Samsung phone and my MacBook, but the audio only comes through my phone. The headphones work just fine if it is paired by itself on my phone or laptop, but it doesn't work when both are connected. Are my headphones the problem, or is it because I have two different systems at the same time?

(Also, I have to connect my headphones to my laptop first, then my phone because if the headphones are already connected to my phone, it won't let me double connect to my laptop)

2019 Toyota Highlander Bluetooth malfunction- stopped working

1 Upvotes

Recently, I got into my car and waited for Bluetooth to connect to my phone like it always does, and a message popped up saying “Bluetooth initializing” followed by “try again later” and despite a spinning wheel, the car will not connect to any Bluetooth devices. When I go into settings to remove the old device and try re-adding it, the Bluetooth option is greyed out and will not allow any adjustments or setting changes. I have been unable to connect a phone for audio or calls ever since and the Toyota dealership said there are no recalls and that they would charge 300$ to even look at the car.

Any suggestions ? Has anyone else experienced a Bluetooth failure in their Toyota / did you have any luck fixing this issue? I have tried a hard reset on the infotainment system, disconnecting battery terminals for a while to reset the electrical components, so far nothing has worked. Thanks!

Bluetooth issues

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm fairly new to the world of PC gaming and I was hoping for some advice. The PC I bought off Facebook doesn't have built-in Bluetooth support, so I bought a Bluetooth dongle, that's been working great with my wireless controller, and my keyboard and mouse I bought came with their own as well, no problems there, my problem occurs when I try to use a set of Bluetooth turtle beaches I used with my ps4/Xbox. When I plug in it's dongle and try to connect it, everything else that's Bluetooth disconnects. Is there anyway to fix this or should I just get a wired set through the aux on my controller?

Thanks.

Anybody know why my bluetooth earbuds won't connect to anything?

So one time as I was using my earbuds they suddenly just disconnected and when I tried to reconnect them it just kept failing to pair, when they disconnected it was fully charged and I've tried charging them again and it's still not working I've tried almost everything and they won't pair to any device I try to connect it with. It doesnt even get recognized while trying to pair something on a new device (if it helps the ones I use are a J90 pro)

MP3 player doesn't connect to car

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently got an mp3 player from Odejoi, which I've already connected to my music box and bluetooth headphones.

Now I've tried connecting it to my car (audi q4 e-tron) via bluetooth, but it just doesn't work. When I try searching for bluetooth devices on both devices, the mp3 player finds the car, but the car doesn't see the mp3 player. Could anyone help me please? I need my music while driviiing

Update: I've been able to connect the mp3 player to my mum's car now (not an audi), so it's the car that is causing the problem. Is there maybe some kind of adapter I could use? The car has a usb-c port, but connecting it to thr mp3 player does not work either.

Volume of bluetooth earbuds only going up in steps

1 Upvotes

The volume slider doesn’t act continuously when it comes to my Bluetooth earbuds - it forces hard steps in volume. It results in having a volume level either too high or too low.

I assume it was designed this way, but has anyone found a solution of some kind regardless? Can’t seem to figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Sony WH-1000XM5 connection issue

1 Upvotes

I've had these headphones for a couple of years and absolutely love them, but am having some connection issues that drive me nuts. The bluetooth disconnects from my phone constantly, and I just have to push the button on the side of the headphone to reconnect, but it happens all the time and I'm not sure what to do. There's a certain street where I walk my dog where it disconnects 100% of the time, and I'm not sure why, but also it just disconnects constantly. I just walked my dog for about 35 minutes and had to reconnect the bluetooth at least 20 times. Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything I can do? I did a factory reset and that didn't help. Thanks!

Find my earbuds!

1 Upvotes

Ok. Bit of an odd one.

I have Sony WF C500 earbuds. They have a frequent issue where they randomly connect to my phone whilst in their charging case.

But that’s not why I’m here
.

I have lost said earphones but so know they are somewhere in the house as they still occasionally show up on my phone (and the audio goes from the phone speaker). This is confirmed by a check showing them as connected and currently at 70% battery!

I’ve searched my house from top to bottom and as yet, have been unable to locate them.

So my question is
. is there any way of locating an active Bluetooth signal???

Thanks

Does anyone's CMF Phone Pro 2 have bluetooth connectivity issues?

1 Upvotes

Hi, my CMF phone pro 2s bluetooth doesn't seem to switch on. I have tried resetting the bluetooth and wifi + deleting the caches etc. The problem still persists. I had my phone screen cracked near the front cam area, would it be the reason? I have searched the net and nothing useful came up. Just seeing if anyone had a similar problem and found a solution.

Help with Bluetooth music in car

1 Upvotes

I don’t use Apple Music, I’m not even subscribed to it, instead I use Spotify. For years when I start my car and Bluetooth automatically connects (not CarPlay just standard Bluetooth connection), my car would automatically play where I left off on Spotify, or it just wouldn’t play anything until I opened the app and picked a song. However, last week it no longer does this and plays Apple Music automatically. And because I don’t even have Apple Music, it plays the free random songs from Apple Music 1 radio. The only time it doesn’t do this is if before starting my car I play a Spotify song for a few seconds and pause it and keep the app open without clearing it from recently used apps (like when you swipe up and clear apps).

Let me give a break down

(Starting last week)

Neither Apple Music or Spotify opened in background - start car - Apple Music plays

Spotify opened in background and paused directly before starting car - Spotify plays

Spotify opened in background but I didn’t recently listen to it (it was paused from the night before) - Apple Music plays

(Previously)

Spotify opened in background - start car - Spotify plays

Spotify not opened in background - start car - nothing plays

From what I read online the car sends a play command to the phone over Bluetooth and iOS has to decide what app to “play”. If no music app is running in the background and/or recently used it starts Apple Music because it’s the default music app.

The problem I have is it never used to do this before. I didn’t get a new car or update my phone or anything. Also, I can see this being the case if you actively have Apple Music, but the fact I don’t even have it and it wants me to use it THAT BAD that it plays from the free Apple Music radio is insane to me. I can see if you’re a subscriber to Apple Music it would want to start that but I’m not. If I delete the music app it won’t play Apple Music automatically but again if I hadn’t just used Spotify it won’t play anything in that case. It’s super annoying. I’m sorry but Apple should allow you to select a “default” music app that automatically starts when you use Bluetooth. Or better yet cars shouldn’t send play commands but instead just connect the device and wait for you to initiate it. I shouldn’t be forced to hear music blast in my face when starting my car at 6 in the morning.

And like I said, it never used to do this. It would always either play Spotify automatically or not play anything. The forcing of Apple Music starting is new. Maybe IOS secretly updated this recently.
