Hi, every one! I bought brand new JBL Bluetooth Headset, model name is JBL Reflect mini BT2, and when i turn bluetooth and headset on, there is nothing in the pairing menu. I had older BT-Headphones and everything worked fine. However, the JBL headphones connect to my Galaxy Tab A perfect. On my Mi5S runs LineageOS 16.0, latest update.
Greetings
You might have already tried this since you managed to pair the headphones to another phone, but maybe they don't want to pair to a new device unless the following is done:
To connect to a different Bluetooth device, first switch the headphones off.
Now press and hold the center button on the headphone remote control for about 3-5 seconds.
You should see the light blinking red/blue to indicate pairing mode, and the voice prompt should state “looking for device”.
You should see "Reflect Mini 2" appear on the source's BT list. Choose that option, and wait for the voice prompt to state “connected”

I do this everytime and also did a hard reset on the headset and still not found.
I'm on LOS 16 too and don't have problems connecting to a headset or BT speaker. Here's one crazy idea Go to Developer settings (might need to enable them first - go to About phone, and click on build number at the very bottom until you get a note that you're a developer). Now go to System, Advanced, Developer options and under Networking hit Show Bluetooth devices without names. This will give you a list of BT MAC addresses. I'm curious if you see the JBL listed now. You can get its MAC address from the other phone.

Hi, I'm a first time poster and I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out.
I have an SPV M600 and have just bought a Pioneer DEH P75BT car stereo because of its bluetooth capabilities.
It has two bluetooth modes: Telephone and BT Audio. After a lot of playing around I have managed to get both modes working together....ish!!!
I've installed the A2DP hack from this site enabling the streaming audio which actually sounds fantastic through the car speakers.
The problem is that to get the BT Audio to work I have to delete and repair the phone with the stereo every time I get in the car. This involves the following actions:
Open Comm Manager
Tap settings
Tap bluetooth settings
Tap devices
Tap and hold the Pioneer BT unit
Tap delete
Tap yes to confirm deletion
Tap new partnership
Wait for scanning to complete
Tap the Pioneer BT unit
Tap next
Enter passkey (four taps)
Tap next
Tap finish
As you can imagine, this process is a real pain in the backside every time I get in the car so my question is this.
Can the above actions be automated in just one command? If so how? (bearing in mind I do not really know how to write scripts)
If someone could even point me in the direction of learning to write a script for this I would be grateful. I have downloaded and installed MortScript but I don't really know what I'm doing with it.
Why when you tap and hold the device doesn't the "set as wireless stereo" command work the same as when the stereo and phone are newly paired? Surely it's the same command.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Can't help you except to say that I experienced the same with a pioneer BT radio too. My soolution was to return it to the store and buy myself a parrot BT car kit which works just fine...

Luckily I don't give up this easily. I have played around with and taught myself the basics of mortscript and have managed to write myself a script that does all of the above in one command. It's not quite perfect yet but it does mean that I can get in my car and start driving whilst the phone is busy pairing itself with the stereo.
The problems I am having so far are as follows:
I have to soft reset the phone each time before pairing with the stereo, otherwise the audio only seems to be transmitted to the front left speaker in my car, which is a bit strange.
I am forcing mortscript to try to pair with the first device in the list of detected devices, which is fine if there's no-one alse with a bluetooth device in the vicinity but not if there is and it detects theirs before mine.
Does anyone know if I could get mortscript to select a detected device by it's name "Pioneer BT unit" rather than selecting the device by simulating a tap on the screen? Also, if the device called "Pioneer BT unit" is not found the first time, scan for bluetooth devices again.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello I had the same problem: erase, new, etc.
but i have discovered one thing: you must only change de name in the bt description of your hands free

I was just about to point this fella in your direction ...
You'd have to do an indefinite loop while checking a registry value to see if your stereo was found. There is a key, i'm sure, for a list of found devices but I don't know where that is. As for detecting your car stereo as the one to pair with; depends on what keys are saved, sounds like it may just be possible.
I'll have a look into this as I'd like to get this stereo also if it can connect & stream automatically
If returning it is still an option, I'd get the Sony Bluetooth Audio headunit. Works great for listening to audio from your phone. It pairs it automatically. I also use Jawbone headset for talking on the phone. It kicks off the stereo and goes to the headset when a call comes in.
The built in mic is in the headunit and in my loud car, its subpar in quality. Whicj is why I use the excellent Jawbone.
I personally own a Peekton 950 car stereo and it works great with my wm5 (a2dp enabled) and my new WM6. the only thing that it does not do is autodiscover and connect the A2DP while it does it for the headset profile.
one other thing I would enjoy is to have the idtag displayed while getting the A2dp but I guess this is not part of the spec.
As I wrote in this topic, I guess the A2DP profile has two way of linking.
1°) The "headset" way : a bluetooth A2DP headset initiates communication to the music player/WM device.
2°) The "passive" way : The speaker just waits for a known bluetooth audio player to connect/link to it.
What surprises me is the fact you need to unpair-repair your device everytime : have you tried what I explain in the previous topic : just go to bluetooth devices , long tap on your spearker's name and choose "use as bluetooth speaker" (may not be exact name of the option since I've a French phone ).
On my phone, this simple (but annoying enough) action connects my phone to my bluetooth speaker (not an in-car one).
Hope this helps
PS : If you find any way to script/automatize the connection or any app more convenient than opeining the bluetooth setting, I'd be very pleased to be informed
This probably wont help the OP's problem, but for the rest, this freeware is brilliant, and can be automated using command line switches to work via mapped keys.

Many thanks for this piece of software Susur. I tried it, but I didn't manage to use it to initiate connection to my bluetooth a2dp speaker.
It's a very usefull software when your device is connected to an A2DP speaker/headphone.
There is a DIY option bluetooth headset acting as audio receiver.

I'm looking for a good quality multipoint Bluetooth headset, I've tried two different ones so far and have not been pleased with the results, A Blueant Q2 and a SoundID 510.
The Blueant would only let you use voice commands on the 1st phone that it connects to at that session, sometimes it was one phone, sometimes another, highly annoying. Even when it was connecting to the right phone the only way I could use the phones built in voice dialer was by pressing the side button, waiting for the prompt then having to speak "Phone Command", then I was taken to the phone's own voice control, and I would have to do this every single time. and if that was not bad enough, the headset would always take over the phone's audio, I connect to my car stereo via a line connected to the headphone jack, but when I connected with the headset it would disable the headphones and output to the headset even after I disabled it in the phone settings. Returned.
The SoundID was even worse, most of the time it would not even let me get to any phone's voice commands after having paired a second phone. When it does go to voice commands it says "Siri" every time , I hate Crapple, deal breaker. I didn't use it enough to check out the rest. Returned.
I just want a headset that can do the following:
Connect to 2 devices, one of which will be answer only.
Have one button access to voice commands and always have it go to the same phone, regardless of which one connects first.
No ADP audio, or have it easily disabled in the hardware.
Hard Switch (No hold down talk button for X amount of seconds to turn on/off)
Comfortable and easy to put on (no over the ear) would also be nice.
Under $100
Does anything like this exist? I do not want to have to navigate a menu to get my phone to call someone, I just want to push a button once and know its always going to the right phone.
Gracias
I Love Carmen De Mairena
As I faced this I am sharing the info with you all. I hope you benefited.
After pairing up 3 to 4 devices, sometimes you need to connect to a new one for which it doesn't pair directly in the same way the mobiles
1. Your mobile device supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music player feature.
2. Ensure that your mobile device Bluetooth is switched on and press and hold power button for sometime until blue indicator light starts to flash quickly or blinks.
3. Within about 3 minutes, activate the Bluetooth feature on your device, and set it to search for Bluetooth devices. naming like BH-505 or any user named by user.
4. Select the headset from the list of found devices.
5. If necessary, enter the code 0000 to pair and connect the headset to your device.
when that device get connected it's ready for use.
Hello, I am getting weird problem when using bluetooth devices with my HTC 10 (stock rom)
I bought a bluetooth device with aux-in for my car radio.. That way I only enable BT on my phone and devices connect without problems.
But I also have a small Bluetooth speaker I use when I renovate the apartment (JBL GO).
The problem is when I paired car bluetooth device so it can connect automatically and after that also connected bluetooth speaker this one does not want to connect. If I unpair car bluetooth device, the speaker connect normally.. also if speaker connect and I come down to my car and try to pair to car bluetooth device, it doesnt want to connect/pair... Again if I remove BT speaker from paired devices, car bluetooth device connect normally...
Why is that, anyone knows a solution? Why can I have only one BT device paired with my phone?
Thank you for answers
i have this problem too.
Had this problem myself.
Updated to the latest firmware, rom and kernel.
Currently using cleanslate.
Turn on the BT device, make sure no other BT devices are in the near radius which may confuse it, no wireless devices (I know hard in this day and age)
Turn on BT on your phone, hold it up clearly (not laying down) close all apps, and open the Bluetooth menu.
Click the Bluetooth device to make sure it's ready to pair. Then scan on the phone.
Should start picking it up.
Repeating this and turning the BT device on and off periodically, allowing for several attempts at a time before switching off..
Even really it'll work, perhaps a different rom or kernel combination may help..
I have had this problem, once connected it'll always work and work well. It's odd
Same issue somewhat..I really want to keep this device...i dooooont want to go back to the s7. But on the S7, i could have my Gear S2, Sync and LG Tone all paired at the same time...If i got a call they would all ring and i could answer on whatever device...now if i have the LG on, sync wont find the device. or the phone wont allow for sync to use the Phone, because the S2 is using that feature...what gives? just me?

Do you have another device to try it with? i have had a similar problem, but its just my terrible bluetooth rockford deck causing me grief, and an ebay pill. But it did it with a lg g3 and xperia phone as well. so i chalked it to that
Seems like HTC only allows one bluetooth profile at a time. Like it will only allow one device to use the phone profile or one device use the media profile.
I have to turn off my tone for Sync to connect. Sucks.
I've had this problem since purchasing the HTC 10 about a month ago. My Bluetooth earphones work without issue, but I've been unable to connect to my car or portable speakers (pairs but never connects).
After reading this thread, I unpaired the earphones, cleared all devices, and I was finally able to connect to my portable speaker. So glad I found this topic.
Still, I'm hoping for a fix. I don't want to bother with pairing and unpairing just to connect to a different Bluetooth device.
Similar problem
Hello !
I am having a similar issue!
I have been trying to register and pair my phone with my car's Bluetooth.
Every time I try to pair with my car an error message pops up saying "couldn't pair with Hands Free System because of an incorrect PIN or passkey" except it never even prompted me to enter the passkey...
Things I have already tried:
Resetting network settings
rebooting phone
Factory reset phone
Also , I do not have any other devices paired with my phone.
Any suggestions??

Had exactly the same problem htc10 would not pair with car bt. changed my passkey on car to 0000 still a valid code and phone paired straight away It was driving me insane trying to make it work. Worth a punt if you can change passkey

Hey guys, pretty sure a lot of people out there are using a smartwatch along with their Pixel so maybe someone can help me with this: when my Galaxy Active 2 smartwatch is connected most of the time I can not use voice input with Google Assistant / search. When I wake up the Assistant by long-pressing power the device starts listening but apparently can't hear me. When I disable Bluetooth or power off the watch everything's working just fine.
The weird part is this though: most of the time the watch is connected, a Bluetooth icon with two dots on the left and right can be seen in the status bar, but not always! And only when the icon is NOT there, while the watch is STILL connected and fully usable, voice commands DO work! What on earth is going on there?
Same thing with the camera app: when the watch is connected and the icon is there, the cam app tells me a Bluetooth microphone is connected. When the watch is connected and the icon is NOT there, the app doesn't tell me. With the cam it is not a problem either way though because here I can choose what audio source I wanna use, while in the Google app I can't.
Any ideas?
It seems that your Galaxy Active 2 gets recognized by the P6 as a Bluetooth microphone capable device, ergo it won't use the in-build phone microphones.
Does it have microphones, by the way?
You can always change the system "primary" source of a microphone/sound source by going into the Sound menu (press volume rocker, press on three dots, change there or go into See more).

Yeah I'm looking for a way to do that, change primary audio source, but I don't see any options for that in the sound or any other menu...
I'll add another bug to the list.
When a watch capable of making and receiving calls (Huawei Watch GT2 Pro) is connected, initiating a phone call from a BT headset/earbuds starts a phone call through the headset, but as soon as the phone call connects, the audio switches from BT headset to phone internal speaker.
You have to disable the "phone" function of the BT settings for the smartwatch to get this to work properly.
This didn't use to be the case, so it's clearly a new bug either in P6P or Android 12.
