Until yesterday my bluetooth keyboard worked fine with my Note.
Now, it will pair with the device but will not connect and therefor will not connect.
I have turned the bluetooth option off and back on on for my tablet and have also turned the tablet off and restared it.
In the Settings screen, I go to bluetooth, see the keyboard listed, hit the settings icon and hit "Input Device, Use for Input"
It says it is trying to connect for a couple seconds then goes back to nothing.
Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried deleting the keyboard from the bluetooth settings and then re-pairing it?

This may not really be a G3 specific issue, but I'll start here.
I have 5 different BT devices paired with my phone. One, a set of wireless earbuds, will no longer connect. I figured I'd just delete it, and repair the device , but I can't. When I tap the gear icon for that device only in the BT setting screen, I get a toast message saying "Unfortunately, settings has stopped." Tapping the gear icon for any of the other devices works normally.
So I'm trying to figure out where the BT device information is stored. I don't mind repairing everything, so if I can just blow away a specific file and start over, that's OK. Any ideas?
Hey y'all - hope someone can help. I'm on stock, non-rooted, att note 5. It's been working like a charm all these months that I've had it. Except yesterday, spontaneously out of NOWHERE, the bluetooth just turned itself off. In fact, it was working just fine all day, connected to my watch, got into my car and it connected there just fine. Even had a bluetooth call on the car's speaker. Left the car, and THAT'S when it happened. The BT icon just turned off (from the notification drawer). I tap on it, and it doesn't turn on. So I go into the BT settings directly, tap on the toggle switch, I watch it turn on for a split-second, then it just shuts off.
Now, here's the weird part, when I boot into safe mode, it works JUST FINE. All that happened recently were app updates, like the android wear app, but I didn't see any settings in the update that would cause this. ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE?!
PLEASE HELP!

Since this last update that sony rolled out to the my phone my bluetooth will not work at all. I can turn bluetooth on but I get a message that pops up immediately that says Bluetooth share has stopped with an X and close app message. If I tap close app the message disappears and bluetooth turns off and turns back creating the same problem over and over. I cannot turn off bluetooth from the quick settings bar, I have to go into settings and turn it off. Anyone else with this issue or have a workaround or fix for it?
Bluetooth notifier won`t go away
I have a problem where I have a message that pops up and says, "Bluetooth Share keeps stopping."
It has, "Close App" with an X beside it. (only option)
I tap it and it reappears a second later.
I've painstakingly gotten into settings (constantly closing this notifier) and opened Bluetooth and it`s not on so I turned it on but no difference. (notice still popping up)
So I turned it back off (no difference).
I've restarted phone (still happens).
I've turned phone off for 5 minutes and turned back on (still does it).
I've just discovered I can turn it off by sliding down from the top while locked but after a second or 2 it starts blinking so I open it and find it's back on.
Last app I installed was Torque Pro but uninstalled it when this problem arose, thinking it was trying to connect to my OBD2 scanner.
I managed to get a screen shot after many attempts but can't send it as the notifier keeps interrupting.
Wow, no idea why but it's just now stopped doing it after hours of pain.
What the hell?

ever tried on pc companion repair?
No I haven't.
I wasn't aware this phone used it.
All my Sony's have always installed it or accessed it the moment I plugged it in but this phone never did or needed it to exchange files so I figured it didn't use it
Hi all, the wifes wileyfox swift has just developed AI. All of a sudden there is no keyboard, whenever you go to type anything, an icon pops up with google tap to talk?
This does not work, you can't close it or do anything. I have managed to disable it from appearing by forcing google apps to stop, however, there is still no keyboard???
Was thinking of a factory reset and so connected it to the pc, then we have the USB problem whereby the pc won't see the files.
Can't see dveloper options in the settings menu, there is no connectivity icon at the top of the screen to enable this. In settings, when usb tethering is turned on the pc no longer sees the phone at all.
Need to get her pictures off.
TIA

Yesterday I was trying to pair a controller with my Fire Stick 4K, but was unable to.
The issue is when I select "Remotes & Bluetooth Devices" within the settings menu, the menu opens for a second then kicks me back into the main settings menu. All the other settings menus work fine.
Short of doing a factory reset, is there anything I can do to fix this? I can't think what happened to lose this functionality - except trying to pair several Bluetooth devices one after the other.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
