Samsng A71 Bluetooth issue

[Andywr77]

I'm having an issue pairing my phone with my portable Bluetooth speaker. Both devices are and blue tooth is activated in scan mode with my phone set to "visible to other devices" but my phone says no devices detected. Can anyone help with this please?

I'm wondering if there is a compatability issue between them.

What's the make and model of the bluetooth speaker ?

Perhaps run a Google Search to see if others are experiencing the same.

Try going into Settings , Apps, Bluetooth , Location and clear the cache which might help.

If bluetooth isn't in the list initially then tap on the 3 little dots in the top Rh corner and.choose show system apps.

Hi,

It's a Sony SRS-XB3.

I cleared the cahce like you suggested and along with a phone restart that seems to have done the trick.

Thanks

Andy

Good Morning,

I just wanted to say that I try it and it didn’t work. Now if I wished my Bluetooth headset not to be interrupted or to close abruptly on me, I need to disconnect wifi, why is that?

I have the same issue with the bluetooth ... The connection between the A71 and my sony wh-1000xm3 does not last more than 10 seconds...

And regardless of whether I am connected with the wifi or not.

What can be done?

This is very annoying - I now regret having changed my A50 which worked perfectly from that point of view ...

It did not solve the issue for me unfortunately

I have been having issues pairing my A71 with bluetooth devices in general. Have gone back to wired headphones. Is iffy when trying to connect to my Fitbit. Really wish I could have my S8 Active back. I haven't had such awful feelings for a cellphone before.
