How to re-pair a bluetooth device??

Hi,
How do I re-pair a bluetooth device that is already in the bluetooth list of my devices?
Right now I just delete the device and add it by doing the search..is there a faster way?
why cant we just click on it and connect.. the only option available is edit and delete .. am I missing something..
The device is gpslim 240..
Thanks

If you've already paired it, you shouldn't need to re-pair it.

Yeah ok, what happens if i turn off my tytn and gps and then next day turn them back on again, how do i repair them without deleting the gps from the list in bluetooth devices and re-adding?
anyways to do this?

Well, taking a look at the manual for your specific GPS receiver it says that some PDAs require you to turn off bluetooth then turn it back on for the two to recognize each other.
The purpose of pairing bluetooth devices is so that you don't have to continually set up profiles whenever you want to connect to another device. So, once you do it, you shouldn't need to pair it again.

Ok thank you

On my previous Dell X50v, I had to do a soft reset if the PDA powered itself off while connected to the GPS. Turning BT off and back did not work.

Whatever GPS app you're using should automatically initiate a connection to your BT GPS sensor. If they were previously paired, it will connect automatically.

Bluetooth Car Audio issue with Arc on Official ICS 4.0.4??

Hi All,
tried searching the threads on ICS upgrade with bluetooth and Blue&Me but unfortunately couldn't find much so thought of writing.
I have upgraded to the official sony ICS ROM via PC Companion on my Arc (LT15i).... done a repair... and set it up exactly the way i want to. must say that i loved it and am quite happy with the performance of the phone as well... there's the occasional lag but it isn't too bad as yet.
Now to my problem (and a few other queries)
1) Bluetooth: Has anybody had any success in pairing the bluetooth with another bluetooth device... preferably a car bluetooth system? I had it working perfectly on the GB (.62) ROM and could use the phone via my Fiat Linea's Blue&Me feature. Now i just can'[t pair it.... when i search for devices it does show Blue&Me but when i try to pair it all i get is that wait cursor kinda thing and then back to search devices screen. it just doesn't pair and give me the option to enter the passcode generated by Blue&Me.
2) Has anyone faced any issues in editing contacts which are synched to Google? Thankfully the HD Pics now work as google sync is not resizing them but in some contacts when i try to edit it the screen simply scrolls back to the top. these are linked contacts (Gmail... Facebook... Facebook inside Xperia.... Whatsapp).
thank you very much in advance for any help that the gurus on this forum can give. I'd especially like to get the bluetooth working as i can live with the contacts editing issue!
thanks, Maverick

Same problem to me(alfa romeo mito with blue&me).
I 've tried everithing, but there is no solution, i think is a compatibility problem:i hope fiat(microsoft) make an update for his system..
Inviato dal mio ST18i

I had a few issues connecting to my Ford when I was on 4.0.3.
It seems to work ok for me when I initiate the pairing from my car stereo. Then my phone will display the "bluetooth device wants to connect" and allow me to enter the code.

i have exactly the same problem
after updating to ICS on my xperia mini pro i cannot pair to fiat blue and me :-(
anyone has ideia on what can we do?
do u think its ICS or microsoft blue and me problem?

do u think its a problem coming from b&m or ics?
i searched but apparently there is no forum where Devs work on B&me hacks :-(

Did you try to clear the old pairing from the stereo? I had to reset the bt on mine. Before the phone would see it ..

Hello
the phone "sees" the blue and me and try do pairs...but no popup asking for the pin appears...i wonder if there is any way to force the phone to ask the pin given my blue and me:-(

I think the problem is with Blue&Me... I've a Parrot and a Chinese GPS integrated in the other Car, and no problem with both of them.
Try to remove the asociation from the Car and then try to pair again. Maybe the Blue&Me assumes the device is the same and the protocol may be different.
In case it doesn't work this way, maybe you need an update from Fiat.

Thanks, i will try this tomorrow and update with my results.
getting something from Fiat is probably never going to happen.... they can't get those teeny weenie yet important spare parts for the car available when you need them most so i doubt they are going to do a B&M upgrade [Country: India]

I had issues at first with my ford but it seems if I initiate pairing from my car stereo, it works fine

Same issue on Subaru forster
have the same issue on Subaru after updating to ICE, the Xperia ARC identify the car media, but it fails (and no pin enter screen)
This is not happening in GB so I guess it is an ICE issue.
Anyone have news on it? or maybe some ROM do support BT?

duplicate post

same problem on mercedes and LT18i (xperia ray) It won't ask the pin. Sometimes I see it connected for less than a second.
I don't have the possibility to connect from car radio, it has te be connected via the phone.
Time to get a laptop to the car and chech with adb logcat

found this whist searching online.
The Workaround:
1) Turn on bluetooth on your smartphone and open a contact card.
2) Start the pairing of hands-free of the car.
3) When the blue & me asks for the code, send the contact via Bluetooth: The phone searches for other devices. Selecting "Blue & Me", you have the opportunity to enter the code presented on the dashboard.
4) Now Blue & Me will ask you to copy the address book: Select "Yes".
5) In the notification bar of smartphone is prompted to connect bluetooth: select "do not ask for more" and accept the request.

This is a great thing to add to my TODO list. I don't believe I've ever tested the bluetooth network sharing on the KFireHD's. Thanks for bringing this up.

BT Internet theathering

Enyone suceeded in enabling Internet via Bluetooth? (enable BT theathering on phone, pairing HU with phone and enabling HU to use phone Internet connection - that way no need for USB modem in HU if you have internet on phone and you take your phone with you in car as we do most of the time).
I was trying to enable that with my LG G3 phone but it doesn't work.
(I'm using Malaysk ROM, KGL unit type)
Any hints appreciated.

Hi, I just switched on "hotspot" in my Moto G menu then switched on WiFi on Headunit then they just paired up, hope this helps.

Try this app (there is a trial version to test with):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluedunx
I haven't tested that app myself as I use a USB 3G dongle.

Not working
I searched around and it looks like bug in Android 4.4.4 preventing BT theathering to work (in fact it works but apps cannot use that connection).
Anyone found workaround?

Bought a cheap BT keyboard to try, but it just will not have it. I am not keen on the on-screen keyboard.
Anyone know of a way to get a BT keyboard to work?

Just plugged in its dongle thingy and switched it on.

Ah, so its a dongle bt keyboard. The one I got doesnt come with a dongle. It relies on the regular BT hardware of the host.
