I use tablet talk to text with my tablet over bluetooth. Before I updated to 4.2, I paired my tablet and phone once when I installed the app and never had to again. All I had to do was run the app and it would enable BT and connect automatically. Now it pops up a "pairing request" every single time. I did a clean install of stock 4.2 first and am now running CromiX, and they both do it. Is there any way I can fix this?

Hi,
When I decided to buy my TF300T one of the most import point was I could use internet over bluetooth since this version doesn't have 3G.
When I was on ICS I used to connect without any kind of problem .. just pair and use, simple like that.
But since I upgrade to Jelly Bean everytime I try to pair my Tablet to my cell phone the tablet abruptly reboot.
I tried everything I could think of to solve the issue:
- I did the new update to V10.4.2.13 of JB
- I removed the profile and added a new one
- I tried with another cellphone (mine is a Nokia Symbian, tried and galaxy II, same error)
- Wipe system/data
- Disabled wifi .. development mode .. usb debugging ..
- Formated my cellphone
My cellphone does allow internet over bluetooth as I was used to connect thru it everyday. I still tested on my friend's tablet (still in ICS) and it worked fine. The problem started when I upgraded from ICS to JB on my TF300T.
Does anyone have any idea what to do to get it solved?
Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I'm afraid I may be a bit out of the loop on this one, so I apologize if I'm asking about a known issue. Basically, I'm running CM10, the nightlies, and I'm currently running the April 14 build based on 4.2.2. It's been a while since I updated (frankly, it's been a while since I used the tablet) and since I did, I am unable to utilize my Nyko Playpad after pairing it to the tablet as I once did. Even if I unpair/re-pair, disable/enable BT, and reboot the tablet, it pairs, but never "connects". It works over BT just fine on my laptop, so I know it's not the controller. I haven't tried a PS3 controller yet, but that may be my next experiment. I understand that there's been problems with BT in some of the latest JB builds. Am I just encountering that, or is there something else going on? Thank you for shedding any light on the problem.
similar issue here. since the 4.1.2 update i can pair and connect ONCE. after disconnecting and attempting to reconnect it will never connect. factory reset just starts the process over again, connects once and then never again.
anyone else founda fix for this?
I am trying to connect my Sony SmartWatch to my Acer Liquid E2 Duo with Android 4.2.2(original rom, rooted).
The problem is that I don't receive the pop-up window on my phone to accept the pair. I enabled bluetooth, I can find the watch and I can connect to it. The watch then gives me the pin to check if it's the same on the phone. Normally you can than click on both devices to accept. But now only the watch has that button and the bluetooth pair only works for 2 seconds(than it is unpaired again).
What am I doing wrong? Where can I edit the settings so that my Acer also gives me the pop-up window for the pin.
I had Acer on stock rom, didn't work.
Than I installed custom rom, pop-up window came up.
Than I reverted to original rom(liked it better), the pop-up came once. I accidentally clicked no and now the pop-up window doesn't appear at all.
Please help.
still no answer
Any1?
Hi,
I've got yesterday sw2. It is really cool, but sometimes i have problem with bluetooth. Sw2 seems to be connected with phone, but when i start some app, it is loading, but this app don't start. I must restart my watch and then everything works fine, but then when i don't use it for a while it didn't want start against. I am using nexus 5 with custom rom. Where can be a problem?
I am having the same problem. Also a nexus 5 with custom rom. Maybe this is a nexus issue?
Which kernel are you running on the phone.
I am using latest Droidkang rom with stock cm kernel.
Some times I will clear phone's RAM to temporarily resolve this problem.
Any ideas anyone? I have the same problem on stock 4.3 on HTC One Max. It drives me nuts ^^
Stock Nexus 5 has no such issue so I'd start with the kernel /ROM bluetooth compatability. Certain apps seem to lose their state occasionally I've noticed. They generally just need to be closed and reopened though. No reboot has been necessary.

Difficulty with MediaTek devices
I have a Wiko Stairway, which is built on MediaTek platform. Pairing is difficult but possible. I don't know whose fault it is, MediaTek or Sony or both?
Still I find it awkard that I have to install 10MB of Sony software just to establish a faulty connection.
My workaround:
Pair the devices without installing the Smart Connect suite
Install Smart Connect and restart watch
Start Smart Connect and wait a while. It should now find the watch and prompt for installing the add-on
Turn bluetooth off and on on both devices
It should now work
Problem is that every now and then the connection is dropped and you may have to toggle bluetooth on either watch or phone or both. Even sometimes a restart is required.
A work around might be to see if force closing the app 'bluetooth share' temporary resolves the issue. If that's the case you could set up a tasker task to kill bluetooth share every 8 hours or so. You might need a plug-in to properly kill bluetooth share with tasker.
Hi,
I bought the SmartWatch 2 (SW2) and it arrived a week ago.
I have a THL w3 device, with Android 4.0.4 on it(built in; not a custom rom) and rooted.
When it first arrived about a week ago, I tried to connect it again and again and the SW kept displaying the SW->Smart Connect screen. the Smart Connect didn't show that popup window with a link to install the SmartWatch2 app, and even when I installed in manually there was no "edit settings" row in the Smart Connect app.
I tried to connect it to my friend's Motorola Atrix (Jelly Bean, not sure which one) and it worked, and then when I tried again on my phone it seemed to work. I was able to install some applications and even though whenever I turned the SW off and on or the Bluetooth off and on I had to unpair and pair the SW in order to connect it, not to mention that 90% of the times when I paired them there was no pairing request, the phone said it's paired, the SW got stuck on the screen "SW V phone"(connected) but they weren't actually connected.
A few days later, yesterday, I noticed that what i just described only happends when the phone is completely on and ready to use, because if I rebooted my phone and then when it turned on I emiddiatly paired them, it worked and there was a pairing request and everything. but only if I paired them before all the apps were ready, which meant that there was an app that caused the pairing to fail when that app is ready.
I used "Disable Manager"(from the Play store) to disable the Smart Connect app and then I was ablt to pair the phone and the SW properly, only now because the Smart Connect app is disabled I can't use the watch...
I hope I described what happened even though English is not my strongest language...
Summury:
My phone is not fully compatible ith the SW, and the fault is Smart Connect's.
The Motorola Atrix works perfectly with the watch. Is it because of the android version?
If you have any ideas please let me know.

Having trouble understanding, but if the problem is your device's stock rom you could look into trying a custom AOSP rom. Might aswell get something more recent than icecream sandwich. Get on kitkat. Get cyanogenmod 11 and use Gravity box with xposed modules.
Are there any custom mods for my device?
The problem is I couldn't find any custom roms for THL W3. it's not a popular device, and even though I really want a newer version(at least Jelly Bean...) I searched a bit and I didn't find anything.
Is cyanogenmod compatible with every phone? Are you sure that's the problem?
