A71 no longer connecting to Bluetooth headset

[countryman69]

I have an A71 that used to Bluetooth perfectly to my Stihl headphones. Now it will not connect.

The A71 will BT fine to my Audi.  Also to my Mac.

My headphones will BT fine to an iPhone and also to my Mac.

I have a brand new identical pair of headphones.  These will not BT to my A71 either.

I have power cycled the A71.  I have reset network connections.   Some websites suggest Forget BT connections but that does not seem to be available on the A71.

So what next ?  I'm out of ideas.  TIA

Has there been a recent update either to the phone or headphones that may have changed what's happening with connection @countryman69 

As your managing to connect via Bluetooth to other devices this suggests the phone is performing as it should in regards to it's Bluetooth connection.

You could clear the cache in Bluetooth via Settings, Apps [ you may need to select to show system apps in this section too ] , Bluetooth , Storage then Clear Cache.

Have you reached out to the Headphones Manufacturer to ask them too as this maybe beneficial.

If I can be of any further help then please don't hesitate. Take care.  😎
