I've had my Buds Live for some time now and used them with a Pixel 5 and work iPhone. They don't appear in the Pixel 6 bluetooth pairing menu. The Galaxy Wear app sees them, but gives a "can't communicate" error when I select to pair with them. I made sure the buds weren't paired with any other device and tried rebooting my phone and reinstalling the Galaxy Wear app.
I've successfully paired another bluetooth headphone with the Pixel 6, so it should be working.
Any thoughts?
FIXED....I had to unpair them from my Pixel 5 first. Even though the Pixel 5 was turned off they wouldn't pair with the Pixel 6. I don't understand, but they're paired with the Pixel 6 now.
Just ran into this when I finally got my P6Pro... If anyone from the future finds this thread and like me you already factory reset your old phone prior to trying to pair your earbuds and can no longer go back and unpair them from your previous device.
Instead you can just put the ear buds in your ears and long press on both ear buds at the same time for 3 seconds until you hear a single loud beep from both earbuds simultaneously. That seems to put them into pairing mode. At that point your phone should be able to connect to them from the Galaxy Wear app.

I couldn't figure out why my Buds+ wouldn't pair with my Pixel 7 after factory reset and this solved the problem. Thanks for sharing.

I bought this headset about a month ago when i got my G1, and I love it for music and such.
But whenever I receive an incoming call or try to place a call, I cannot hear the other person, just my echoes. I have tried unpairing and repairing it, resetting the phone then reconnecting the headphones, but no luck.
Any advice?
i have the same model and it has worked great for me so far and ive had it for about 6 months now
it was hard to get it actually paired to my g1 for some reason it couldnt find it but since then no prob
What ROM are you using?
Hey everyone,
Has anyone noticed bluetooth issues? I've pointed them out in other threads, but they seem to be glossed over. I hate to seem like a noob by creating new threads, but I fear that the issue is being looked over by most people. I've read a few reports of people having issues with their phones connecting to their cars or headsets automatically. Has anyone else faced these issues?
I specifically cannot get my BT headset to connect unless I unpair and repair it everytime I want to use it. Sometimes even during a phone call the headset will drop connection and wont reconnect unless i turn it off and on a few times. For reference, I've tried multiple BT headsets and they all behave the same way. These headset's also work just fine with my Galaxy S2, just not with my S3 (international on XLE8)
No problems with bluetooth here and I use it a lot (HS3000, Logitech Boombox, PS3 and Wii controllers too).
No issues here. Phone sometimes doesn't pair automatically with the BT kit in my work car, but I've had that issue with my S1 and S2 in the same car so I'd say it's a problem with the headunit.
Works perfectly with the Sony headunit in my own car, and connects to my mate's fine.
ok, what firmware rev are you guys running? im going nuts not being able to use bluetooth here!!
somewhat related.
i often leave my sgs3 connected to my laptop via usb when i fall asleep. at morning, battery's charged 100% obviously and phone isn't hot.
last time around, i was listening to music via hm3700 bluetooth headset. then later turned off the bluetooth headset. i forgot to turn off the bluetooth on sgs3 and again fell asleep while it's still connected via usb to laptop.
when i woke up at morning as usual battery's charged 100% but the sgs3 was hot, not so hot but isn't anywhere the normal hot we're accustomed to.
connects automatically to my car's BT built-in system. Only needed to pair once.
Works very well with my Sennheiser PXC 310 BT.
If I switch on the headphones the phone automatically connects to it.
can everyone please detail their firmware/kernel they are using?
i am on XXALE8, with the stock kernel
I have problems on XXLE8 as well connect it to my car head unit and it acrually crashes the headunit after 5 mins being connected . After the heaf unit crashes 3 times it requires a pin code. Iphone 4, 4s and gs2 connect no issues.

thanks for your input, i upgraded to XALF5 and still having the same issues. this is frustrating!!!!
Oddly - my phone will automatically connect to my cars in-built BT system, but it won't auto connect to my Jawbone Era without switching BT of and back on....
I also have problems, with my build-in bt in my car. Have XXBLH3. Connect fine, but drop the connection 2-3min after. My SGSII have no problems
No Ringtone through Bluetooth
Okay here is my problem……I want my custom ringtones i have set for contact to play in my Bluetooth headset when a receive a call, not that dumb ring. That way I will know if I want to take the call or not because I can tell by the ringtone who is calling. Why would Samsung disable this feature. my iPhone 4s plays the ringtone I have setup when I get a call. Is there anyway to do this. I ride a motorcycle and I have a device called a Chatterbox that let’s me connect via Bluetooth to my phone so I can hear my music and talk and make calls while I am riding. On my iPhone 4s my music would pause my custom ringtone would play and I could decide it I wanted to take the call or send it to voicemail, then my music would start right back up from where it left off. Right now my Galaxy i717 and my Galaxy i747 (Note and S III) just play this annoying ring and I can’t tell who it is! Any have a fix or work around for this.
Hmmm, the sound on my cars bluetooth gets distorted and only a reconnect will fix, and more worringly sometimes the S3 will not wake up after disconnecting from my car and only a hard reset will solve it.
My S2 did pretty much the same thing.
I'm having a strange issue on my S6 Edge that didn't exist on my previous phone (HTC M8).
I use a Moto 360 which naturally is paired over bluetooth, and also a wireless bluetooth headset. I found the audio would cut out anywhere between about 2 and 20 minutes when using the headset at the gym; however it would only 'disconnect' about 2 minutes later if left (it still registered as being connected until then and the music app would continue "playing"). Turning the headset off and on would fix it each time, and my Moto 360 would not have any disconnection issues.
I eventually worked out the issue is fixed if only the headset was paired with the phone (i.e., I unpaired the Moto 360 in the S6's bluetooth settings). The weird thing is though, that I do not take my Moto 360 to the gym, so only 1 bluetooth device was ever connected or even in range at the same time; it was simply the fact of having the Moto 360 remembered as paired but not connected that is making the phone cut audio to the headset and then disconnect 2 minutes later.
I've read of people experiencing the exact same thing on the S5 with 2 bluetooth devices paired, but haven't found a solution. I did not experience this issue at all the my M8, so I assume it must be an S6 or Samsung thing.
Anyone else having this problem?
I'm having the same issue with my Jaybird Bluebuds X. Audio will cut out and then bluetooth disconnect every couple minutes at the gym. Then I came home and played around with them and didn't have any issues. I'll have to do more testing at the gym to see what is making it cut out.
Do you have 2 devices listed as paired under Bluetooth?
For the record, my headset is a Plantronics Backbeat Fit, although I'm pretty sure that's not the issue since it works fine on my M8 under the exact same conditions.
Also confirmed again today - removing my Moto 360 from the bluetooth list stops the issue. Very annoying to have to go and re-add my watch every day after the gym though.
Yes, I have about 4 other devices that are paired. That must be the issue then. Really annoying though, because I'm not going to remove them every time I go to the gym. Ugh.
You guys ever figure this out? I'm having the same exact issue. Moto 360 and Jaybird BT headphones. The headphones cut out after several minutes, then a couple minutes later they disconnect. I connect them and it does the same thing over and over. This is if I have my Moto 360 on me, and weirdly enough if I leave it at home.
What solves it is if I "disconnect" the Moto 360 in the Android Wear app. This works if the Moto 360 is on me, or at home. I have no idea why, but it works flawlessly and I don't have to unpaid it. Now I'd love to not have to do that, what if I wanted to wear my Moto 360 and the headset at the same time? Would love to find a solution to this.
This phone has been giving me some odd issues and I'm worried I may just replace it before my 30 days are up. The keyboard presses on the edge are not responding, the bluetooth is causing issues, etc etc. GRRRR!
I had to return the Jaybird Bluebuds, they are just too expensive to be disconnecting this often. I am now using the Motorola Buds and haven't had any issues.
I found a bandaid fix yesterday - when the music disconnects, press the call / hang-up button on your earphones if they have one. The music immediately starts playing again as if nothing happened and there's no disconnect 2 minutes later.
It's annoying, but at least I don't have to mess with unpairing or disconnecting my Moto 360. It also leads me to believe the bug must be something to do with the phone incorrectly changing audio priorities as if it's gotten a call, which would explain why the play/pause button does nothing since phones won't let you resume playing music while in a call...until you "hang up" (pressing the hang-up button on my earphones).
Does that work for you guys?
My moto 360 keeps disconnecting for no reason eventhough the phone is very close to my watch. I am only using one Bluetooth device
Happening with my LG G4 with Jaybird X2 and Urbane watch paired. So this is an android wear issue I suppose and not S6edge specific problem.
It's really annoying =\
Yeah i just got the jaybirds x2's and im having the same issue. The audio will play for a min or so then they get fuzzy and cut out. If i hold the end call button they will come back for a few minutes then do it again. I really like the headphones but im not about to keep $180 buds when i cant even enjoy them.
If you just disconnect the watch in the wear app it resolves the issue. The reason it happens is the app polls for the watch every few seconds which interrupts other BT communication. The main issue I have is when a headset is connected voice commands don't work on the watch. It says disconnected even though it is.
Same problem here. Also Plantronics Backbeat Fit and a Moto 360. I'll try your suggestion of disconnecting the watch in the Wear app. However, i also like wearing the watch when running, since the Strava app tells me the distance and heartrate (for which i use a Scosche BT heartrate monitor).
Seems like returning the Backbeat Fit is use less since its not broken.

Hello all,
I'm not sure where to start but I've been having the issue for quite some time and I'm sure there has to be a fix. I originally had an S6 Active paired with a Moto 360. I thought the speaker just had bad audio so I neglected to try and fix it. A couple years later, I'm on a Note 8 with a Gear S3 and having the same quality issue but the same speaker (Ion Explorer) so once again, I figured no big deal. Last December I bought a 2011 Ford Edge with the Sync 2 system. When I noticed it there, I knew something was going on. Factory reset everything and still had the issue. Had my wife connect her Note 8 and it sounded great! However, she only has one other device connected and it's a Fitbit Blaze that she doesn't wear always like I do my Gear, and sure enough she didn't have it on when we tried her phone. Two devices paired at once. As soon as I disconnect the Gear the quality instantly goes way up. Awesome! Found the culprit, but not the resolution. Is there ANY way to improve the audio quality while having both connected? It's not the worst thing in the world, but it's a definite nuisance to have to disconnect my Gear just to listen to music while I'm in the car. If it was only a little difference I wouldn't mind, but it's definitely a big gap between the two. And I always forget to pair the Gear back up until it's almost time to recharge. Any help with a fix would be greatly appreciated!
Hello all, I hope I'm writing this to the correct section; if not please let me know.
I have a Redmi Note 4, MTK variant. 2 days ago it randomly stopped producing audio.
Speakers doesn't work, when I put my headphones the phone recognizes it but again, no sound. When someone calls it doesn't ring and it records blank on voice recorder.
What I've noticed is; sometimes instead of getting audio I get static noise from speakers/headphones.
And yesterday I've moved my charging cable left and right and I barely got audio working for a few seconds alongside a loud noise. (Which also ruined my charging socket sadlol)
If I connect to my TV via Wi-Fi, I get sounds though.
I tried resetting my phone, installing a new ROM, flashing to stock files; always same result.
I went to the service today (some random tech place, they aren't officially in my country), they fixed the charging port but said they can't fix audio.
What can I try to fix it, or at least bypass? Because even a Pixel 3A is $700 in my country, and I'm stuck few months with this phone.
Thanks.
Edit: Apparently there's no fix. Used it for a few months with a Bluetooth headset, then had to buy a new phone.
