Can't pair ANY bluetooth devices - Verizon Droid Charge

No matter what I try, I keep getting "unable to pair" error - I've tried numerous headsets, headphones, computers, car stereos... Same error each time. Can anyone tell me why? I've upgraded to the OTA update available, downgraded, ....
It's frustrating.

Haven't tried to pair my headset with mine yet. I'll check it out when I get home latter this evening and reports back.

Paired with my phone with headset and laptop just fine. Is it not seeing any devices or will it just not pair?

I must have a brick - what device did you pair with? And you were able to use the device with the phone, right?

Well - I updated to ED2 and now everything pairs with the charge! Go figure... root + bluetooth + ed2 = happy.

[Q] How come the bluetooth does not autoconnect to my head unit

My OG Droid would autoconnect to my head unit every time I tuned the car on. Skyrocket, on the other hand is paired, but never wants to connect.
I have to turn bluetooth off then on, connect and then it will be working. Sometimes it only connects audio. Other times it connects audio and phone functions. It is really inconsistent and driving me nuts.
I bought a aux to bluetooth converter and with it too, it pairs but never auto connects.
This is very annoying and I could not find any references anywhere on how this can be fixed.
Any suggestions are welcomed...
I also have problems with my phone connecting to my cars bluetooth system. Sometimes it auto connects sometimes it won't its about fifty fifty. I have noticed it seems to connect more often with the screen on.

Interesting. I'll see what happens when I have the screen on as I walk in the car. Kinda ridicules that if that increases the likelihood of it connecting....

Very nice. Sorry about geting your thread off topic. Lol. I love my subbies. Can always tell when one drives by the low pitch rumble doesnt sound like anyother car. Lol i love messing with the hondas and acuras with there bumble bee sounding fart pipes
I really like my Skyrocket, but the simple fact is that BT sucks on the Skyrocket. It's VERY picky about what devices it will connect with, and even then it just doesn't auto-connect sometimes. I t helps to get the BT on-off widget from Droid-mania. If it doesn't connect, turn it off then back on.
Maybe BT will improve on the Skyrocket with ICS.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one with BT troubles... any market link to a good widget ... preferably free

Does it help if you set Bluetooth to "Always Discoverable"? Acura recommends that for HTC and Samsung phones with its HandsFreeLink system. I had problems with an HTC Touch Pro2 not auto-connecting to my RL, but after setting it to be always discoverable it worked fine.
I'll test it with my wife's SR this weekend when she gets back from a trip and see if it makes a difference.

Connect my second phone to smartwatch 2

How to connect my second phone to smartwatch2?
If I have understood this right it's not possible to connect with 2 phones. It's possible but you have to reset the watch and pair it with the other phone, everytime you switch between phones.
Skickat via Tapatalk
When I changed my phone I made a backup from the first, restore on the new and re-paired the SW2 on new phone. I keep all my app, config and data.
So with same app on 2 phone, you can change from one to another no ? maybe not so simple but possible.
I have two phones, u mean every time im using I have to reset the watch??
thats what i have had to do.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes and no. Your reset the watch, but your actual settings for apps and all are in the phone. So each phone can have different smartwatch apps installed and they'll all work separately.
But you can't be connected to both at the same time.
If you are try to let SW2 receive notification from two of your phone, you can try Notify My Android which can push second phone's notification to main phone.
Pretty nonsense since every bluetooth headset from sony can pair with two phones/tablet (not at the same time, obviously).
Hope they will fix with an update.

Erm. Most people use a single phone? This smart watch is meant to be used with a phone?

Xiaomi and Huawei both have good ones. And if you're complaining that those aren't 'power house' enough go get a HTC One M8 dual-sim if you can find one. Or an S4 Dual Sim.
Your smartwatch 2 can do the same, effectively. You just can't connect with two phones at the same time.
Sony bluetooth headsets like the HBH-DS970 and the MW600 can connect to 2 or more phones, but to do that, you have to switch profiles on the headset (with a switch or setting)
the SW2 doesn't have that profile switch and therefor cannot support 2 phones
i doubt it's an 'issue' they will fix, good luck asking Sony

Then just re-pair when you switch phones. My wife sometimes uses my watch, so she installs whatever apps she wants, then when I pass the watch to her she just does a reset and re-pair, works fine.
Its not functionally any different from how the MN2 works.
And please, what's with the exclamation marks?

Help regarding headphone issue

Hello there,
I just received my xz premium today, and to my big surprise my headphones (Huawei am185) can't be used with the phone.

Is there a way to fix it, and what kind of headset doesent work, kinda scared buying a new pair of headphones that ain't from sony, if they dont work.

Not sure what to say about your issue... I have tried two different headset/headphones and both work without any trouble at all.
Well, i tried some other headphones aswell - they worked fine.
Maybe it's because its from huawei?
is it a certain feature that's not working with them or are they not working at all when you try to play music?
They are not working at all

I have no Bluetooth issues. But then again, I did a full update. Not the OTA patch.

Android Pie - Notifications only come through Bluetooth device

Noticed with the Pie update, that if you're using a bluetooth device, the notifications only come through that. No longer comes through phone as well.
I need my earbuds to be paired and connected for most the time, but cannot have them in ears at all times. I only noticed after my wife called me to make sure I was ok as I hadn't been responding to numerous relatively important texts. Wasn't replying because I hadn't heard the notifications. . . . because my earbuds weren't in my ear.
Have there been any solutions to this thing. This is really bad and obnoxious.

All audio, ringer and notification sounds are redirected to headphone/ear-bud/earpiece when they are connected, it's a hardware feature that is built into the hardware, it can't do both.
Either leave the ear buds in or train yourself to disconnect them when not using them.

I've never had a device that could do this.
If it could do this before the update, the feature is probably still there, the settings for it may be in a different place or has a different nomenclature.

It definitely worked before. I've been going crazy since February, trying to figure out how to get the sound to play through the phone while a Bluetooth device is connected.
