Hello All,
I was hoping someone could help me. My old Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had started having issues. Broken charge port so had to swap batteries, broken headphone jack, pc not recognizing device, etc. So I bought a new phone (Nexus 5), and now I have this Note 1 laying around. I would love to use it as a media player (like an Ipod TOUCH or something). The problem I am having is that even with my wifi connected, NON of my network dependent apps will work. Facebook, Google Play, Youtube, Netflix, etc all seem to be looking for a cellular network, or a SIM or something. Is there a way I can use this as a wifi only device that all my network dependent apps will work (they same as they did before? I don't understand why I couldn't. Converting my old Iphone 4 into a wifi only Ipod Touch basically, was no problem. Connected to my wi-fi and life went on as normal. Please Help.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have this problem in either of my sim-less notes. I was going batty for a few days, getting notifications on both phones. Is WiFi set up correctly?
I'd try a reset to factory
And, wait, what's the point of turning an old phone into a media player if you say the headphone jack is broken?
Also - charging port piece is under $20 shipped (or it was when it failed on my friend's note) and the repair job isn't too hard.

Hello everyone, newbie here so please allow for some level of 'ingnorance'.
I am trying to pair up LG HBS-110 earphones to my Verizon TP2. These headset were brougth with the Verizon LG Chocolate (mid 2006). They still work as I am still able to pair it with that device. The TP2 is not finding it when I search. It locates my neighbor's laptop 2 hourses away but not the damn earpiece. Could it be they are too old or TP2 needs the proper 'drivers'?
A Verizon Samsung Rougue did not pick it up either. My daughter' 'newer' cell, also an LG, picked it up but would not name it and could not pair it.
Any ideas to make it work? Trash it? Use it as a necklace?
Thanks.
See if your BT headset as a reset function, that removes all the pairings he had in memory. Nokia's one had that function since they hold in memory more that 1 phone, and after the memory is full, no more new phones could be paired.
thanks for the tip. I do have a reset, did pressed it for several seconds. It might have been 10-15, not sure. I honestly don't have the instructions and don't know the time limit. thanks.
Hello
I signed up for this sole purpose since I simply cannot find the solution anywhere. (Either outdated, or I suck at googling).
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, GT-N7105. My data connection disconnects once I connect to a Wifi network.
I noticed this only two days ago, where I was on the custom rom Beanstalk 4.3.1 for the note 2. I contacted my telco (Singtel), they did what they could. Still the same. This is accompanied by deprival of google services, like youtube and the play store, where both say network connect error or no network. I thought this could be a problem with my rom, so I flashed a new one. (Clean!). On to ParanoidAndroid. No diff. Now I'm back on stock firmware, unrooted. I still have this problem. Is this normal and me just being stupid? I admit that I'm very new to the android scene having just converted from iOS. Still, I've done whatever I could. (Airplane mode, battery pull, stuff.)
I could live with the data connection thing, but it irks me when the said apps don't work, y'know? I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance
I'm trying to pair my S6 edge to my TL but I keep getting blocked by the trusted devices menu.
Basically I'm able to start the pairing process and setup a pair code but when my car asks me to name the device the pairing process stops. I get a notification that asks me to add the car to my trusted devices list but when I do my car keeps telling me I can't start the pairing process from the phone. It's like if I have to add my car to the trusted devices list before I start pairing in order to finish pairing the car and phone. Is there any way to disable to smart lock so I can pair my car? I never had any issues with previous galaxy devices.
It's worthy to note that I was able to pair my Gear 2 and Nexus 9 without all this hassle
thanks.

What year TL?
I wouldn't trust a TL either LOL. Works fine for BMW M3 with iDrive
Works on my 2012 TL but BT track info doesn't display which sucks!

I was able to make a video with what exactly happens that prevents me to pair my phone and my car. Basically, i can go though the entire process but when i get to the part where i have to name the phone it cuts me off. Then I have a "trusted devices" message that pop up on the phone asking me to pair with my car to add it to the trusted list, and when i go in bluetooth devices, it does say pair. Usually it should say connected. When I try to connect to it in BT devices, it asks me for my 4 digit code and after I input it, my car tells me the pairing process can't be initiated from the phone...I don't know what to do, this is the first phone i was not able to pair. I think its a lollipop thing but i cant confirm because my note 4 that ran lollipop was already paired with the car when i got the OTA 4.4 to 5.0.

Bump!
I also made a thread on an Acura forum if anybody is interested
http://acurazine.com/forums/audio-b...air-05-tl-galaxy-s6-edge-931791/#post15466470
Turn off Smart Lock? Settings> Lock Screen and Security > Other Security Settings > Trust Agents and uncheck Smart Lock?
one of the first things i tried. Thx anyways
Important update.
I was able to pierce the mystery of my pairing problem. It seems as not all S6 edge are created equal.
Long story short, my dad got himself a new car, Benz GLA250, thats comes with networking capabilities when paired with a smartphone. His company supplied iphone didnt share the network connection with the car so he asked me to try with my S6. As i tried to enable bluetooth tethering, i couldnt find it. I made a few searches on XDA and found that some people are complaining about missing functions on their edge, BT tethering was one of the main features some people didnt have, others were missing some toggles also. It seems as some phones dont have it. Don't ask me why because its not a carrier restriction, some people on T-Mo had it, others didnt.
The only solution was to flash a custom rom with BT tethering enabled. As I didnt want to go through the entire flashing process, and also because i didnt want to trip knox in case it break SamsungPay, i called up my friend that had the same phone I didnt and found out he also didnt have BT tether. Since he didnt care about knox or Samsungpay, i flashed him a custom rom and was fianlly able to pair my TL with the edge, and was also able to connect to my dads car.
So i guess it's a software problem. Not sure why that option was left out for some, but i guess it'll be fixed in the upcoming 5.1.1 update. Also worth noting that samsung did release a fix for the missing toggles through an app in the galaxy store.
Does anybody know why BT tethering is gone on my variant? I've heared of some carriers taking out that option (and hotspot) but that was mostly because of the unlimited data plans, but in canada they never block anything on our variants, neither the bootloader or any other function.
Has anybody with an S6 edge W8 also have the BT tethering missing?
I'm trying to pair my galaxy s6 edge to my acura mdx 2006, and i can't do it. Is my phone too new to my car?
Just in case anybody is still interested in this problem, I found out that this "era" of TL ('04-'08) ONLY accepts cell phones from this time period.
Meaning if one doesn't have a cellphone dating back from these years "IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!" There is a cellphone compatibility list online
that one can find out which cellphone works from multiple makers and carriers.
And the answer to your question....YES, its too new.
Hi guys,
Ive had my G5 for a few months now, and its been great (with the exception of some apps crashing from time to time) however I have recently bought a newer car, Audi A5 and when I try to setup the phone with the multimedia system in the car, the car finds the phone, starts to make the bluetooth connection and then fails. I have tried 2 different phones (an S3 mini and an s4 active) and these connect fine (not my phones, just borrowed to test). I am wondering if this is a marshmallow issue with the phone. I did try a Huawei which is also on marshmallow and that was the same, no connection.
Has anyone had this and found a workaround? Cheers
Hi!!!
The microphone does not work with Bluetooth devices, JBL Reflect Contour 2 headphones, Cardo Freecom2 (Motorcycle Helmet) and the one in the car (Peugeot 308). In all it connects perfectly, but the micro is not active. I have restored the device, and I have tried it first, and nothing, either.
Thank you!!!

Aafter two months, going through the Technical Service, in the end they have already indicated to me how to solve it, in a "patch" plan and thanks to **** from the Telegram group (Thank you very much). Well, it seems that it is a problem with the Bluetooth codecs, which are wrong. The solution, because there are two ways, leave the operator's network at 3g/2g when the device is going to be used, or, in my case with Movistar, deactivate the 4G option of the operator's network data. With vodafone, **** tells me that there is no option!
Come on, it's a chore..... that every time you go to take the car or motorcycle, you have to deactivate the 4G option... anyway
I hope they get their act together and solve this problem...which, by the way, also happens to other mobiles, such as the One Plus Nord, owned by ****'s wife, the same thing happens....
Regards
I just tried to call from my car and have the same problem. It's still not fixed? Insane how bad this company is...
Edit. Tried changing all bluetooth related settings in Developer Options, reseting BT settings etc. No luck.
Seems like the only fix is disabling VoLTE so phone swaps to 3G during calls but that leads to worse call quality and 3G network in my country is set to be disabled soon...
Edit2. My Sony XM4s seem to work well, so it's a problem with older BT devices or ones using basic codecs (SBC).
Same problem on my GT 2 Pro. Do you have any other solution besides disabling 4G?
Try restet your APN or better set by yourself. Tick all carrier there. I don't have this problem.
Any fix?
Confirm the issue. External mic only working when VoLTE is disabled.
