Bluetooth: cannot check the visibility to others box - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I'm trying to pair up with my iphone. My Gear is rooted and I have the latest Null installed (I think it's 22.1). It pairs just fine with my Note 3.
In the Gear, under bluetooth settings the Visibility box is just checked off and greyed out.
Anyone get this to work?

Error: Problem with bluetooth hardware

I'm trying to connect my phone (ATT HTC Tilt) with a stereo bluetooth headset or trying to send files and everytime I scan for new devices it gives me an error stating "PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE"
Additionally, the "Turn on Bluetooth" option always turns off automatically....
What is going on? Can anyone help?
Please...
Anyone who experienced this or can give me a hand? Thanks!!
I had this same problem all of a a sudden on my Kaiser. But after doing a hard reset this got resolved.
And now i just flashed Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Its amazing update..
Cheers
Thanks Arun...
Tried the hard reset NO LUCK! Problem persists, and bluetooth keeps turning off. I go back to the wireless manager and check both boxes and they come back off in 30 seconds!!
When searching for devices it says (ERROR: PROBLEM WITH BLUETOOTH HARDWARE)
Not able to beam or receive files at all.
Any help? Thanks so much!!
Same Problem
Running into same problem here. I haven't even updated the ROM from stock yet, although I have done the JumpSPL step (cuz I received the white screen). My Radio is 1.27.14.09.
Any help is appreciated.
I would think that if you have done a hard reset and you don't install anything and you still have a problem then you **** is borked. time to do a warranty exchange.
has your bluetooth ever worked, with the rom that is currently on your phone?
Problem with Bluetooth Hardware!!!!
I am having the same problem. I have the stock AT&T ROM. Here is exactly what is happening:
The bluetooth is not working on my Tilt at all. It has lost connections with devices that it was already paired with (a Motorola Q Global and a headset). All attemps to pair the devices again lead to the following: "Error: Problem with Bluetooth Hardware".
When I go to Bluetooth Settings through the Comm Manager, then Mode and check "Turn on Bluetooth" and "Make this device visible to other devices", it unchecks as soon as I exit the settings menu. The Comm Manager constantly shows the bluetooth being off and when I tap the icon, the phone "thinks" for awhile and then it greys out again.
The only change that I have made from the time that it was working is to install the iphone package, and a today plugin (which I have since uninstalled) found here.
I recently changed my Kaiser Tweak bluetooth settings: I changed the BitPool from 'medium' to 'very high', but my headset was still working after that. The other settings are:
Sample Rate - 48000 (Advised)
Use Joint Stereo - Enabled (Default)
Receive Files - Enabled
Any ideas/suggestions?

Bluetooth between phone, gear and car?

Although my car shows my phone connected when I drive, while I am wearing the gear, any calls are routed through the gear.
I know it has to do with probably only one device can output the calls, but is there any way to go around this ?
Is there a quick way to disconnect the gear from the phone while in the car ? it's just that it's a lot of steps to get into the settings....
Was looking for something simpler and quicker.
Although it would be cool not to actually have it disconnected as I still like to see the notifications without pulling out the phone.
Anyone else with this issue ? Any suggestions...?
Only other thing I thought of is to find a software that would put me a toggle on the screen maybe ?
Thanks
No problems here. The phone call well get route through whatever device accepts the call

Same here.
Car has inbuilt blue tooth, if I accept via the car, it routes through the car.
I also have no problems. The interesting thing is, I can initiate a call on the gear, and it stays there for about one second, then transfers to the car speakers. Which is where I want it anyway.
I have the same issue on Tmobile S4 4.2, I believe the 4.3 update has different profiles that allow this. Right now I'm stuck to connecting to the Gear or a Headset, I have to choose between the two since they both connect as 'phone audio' under BT settings. Once 4.3 is release in 2018 (LOL) it should be resolved.
I have a similar problem...or worst
My camaro '12, uses 2 BT profiles. One for media audio and the other for phone audio, since the gear also connects to my GS4 using phone audio, my cámaro's infotainment screen frozes until I disconnect the GG to my GS4 or the cars phone audio to my GS4.
I can't even chance the damn A/C temp or speed when that happens. Hahaha

I have connected my LG G3 to the galaxy gear Samsung gear 1.
Everything is fine except that I cannot use both gear and bluetooth connection in my car, whereas, if I am using my Note 3 there is no problem in connecting both.
Wondering if there is a solution so that I can connect both bluetooth and gear to my 3G in my car
I have the same issues. I have a lg g3, galaxy gear 1, and bt headset. If the gear is connected, calls go to gear and not the headset.
When I had my galaxy s5 all was fine.
Anyone have ideas?
*****************************************************
Something else I noticed, it may only happen to others with a lg g3, but if the watch is on and paired, the headphone jack doesn't work.

I don't have a g3 (yet) to test but I think using SQL lite editor and modifying settings.db under the settings app, you can adjust bluetooth priorities. By default priorities are all set to 100. I think if you changed the gear's priority to 99, it may work.

That may be over my head to an extent.
If it was laid out I could do that. But I've never used sql. I just tried and failed pretty bad.

Ok, I'll try to break it down. Hopefully, it works:
1) Get SQLite editor (sounds like you already have it)
2) Scroll down to "Settings Storage" and then select "settings.db"
3) Select global
4) find the entry "bluetooth_headset_priority_<MAC address of Gear>" and select it
5) Click menu > edit record
6) Change the priority from 100 to 99 and save
Hopefully, it helps. Let us know.

It is set at -1 out of the box. What should I try changing it to?

Not sure. I would try setting both the gear and your headset to a positive integer and make sure the headset is set higher and see what happens. Not sure if this will work or not but it can't hurt to try.
Try todo rename tour bt headset oer car device the bt device must be on the top and gala y gear under them

I was able to use an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect to set the priority of my Bluetooth devices so when I get in my car it connects to the in car Bluetooth and reconnects to the gear after

I've setup Trigger profiles to do exactly this back when I was on 4.1.2 since multiple devices can't be connected at the same time on that version. From Android 4.3+, multiple BT devices can be connected at the same time and I thought it was at the OS level where the system would use whichever devices answers the call...... I guess it is a function of the Samsung dialer after all.

No notifications from Note III to Gear?

A few days ago my Gear was acting weird. I wanted to add a new notification through the Gear Manager application through my phone, but it started installing some apps when I opened the app. I let it install the apps, but for some reason it tells me to connect my Gear to my phone using NFC (like it hasn't been configured).
When I connect it through Bluetooth, it will connect without issues. However it says "Connected to phone audio" and the notification icon is gone.
I can receive calls but notifications doesn't appear.
Any idea why?
Thanks

No Text Notification or Call ability when at home

My Setup: LG G5 with Urbane 2nd Edition -
I am unable to get have any text messaging notifications or phone call ability when I am at home. calls and texts ring on phone, and watch sits there no response. I get that it is cellular signal issues, but my phone works fine and there isn't any kind of Bluetooth connection between them that I can tell.
I came from a Galaxy Gear S2, and in the basement when phone would get a call or text, they'd show up just fine on the watch. Not with my new LG G5 and Urbane 2nd edition.
The S2 would work as a Bluetooth external mic and speaker basically, so it didn't rely on the data connectivity for this functionality. Any idea if the Android Wear Urbane 2 can do it?
I'm also working on getting a Microcell from AT&T -
Here is troubleshooting I have performed in get this working:
Factory Reset Watch -
Removed Bluetooth Pairing from Phone -
Uninstalled/Reinstalled Android Wear -
That did nothing, still remembers watch -
"Forget Watch" in Android Wear -
100% from scratch redid "Pair with your watch" process now that both watch and phone have been system updated -
Set to ignore Optimizations while setting up the "Always be connected" options -
Set Screen Always on to OFF -
Started Syncing 21 apps back process automatically -
Successfully reactivated AT&T Number Sync as factory reset sent me a text it disabled -
Verified apps aren't in the blocked notification list -
~~
STILL cannot get text notifications or calls on it when at home -
The other problem I have found with this is my Bluetooth does not have a call or media audio profile option.
Everything else, my car, headset, Gear S2's etc, show "Call" and "Media Audio" profiles in the Bluetooth sync menu for that device.
This Watch only shows Change Watch name and Unpair.
I've read people saying that the Cellular Urbane should be like "Do you want to use watch or phone to place call"

I believe it works this way when numbersync isn't activated. I don't have AT&T so I don't have the numbersync option. Without numbersync, I have an option in my bluetooth settings on the watch for "play phone audio on watch". When paired by bluetooth I have the option to call with phone or watch. I have to use the call forwarding option when I leave the phone behind to get calls to the phone to be sent to the watch.
hm, I tried disabling the Number Sync and re-pairing but it doesn't change the bluetooth profile.
Perhaps it is just AT&T Models don't have it
This thread here confirms that An Urbane 2nd edition should ask "Watch or Phone" when making a call

I see where it specifies watch calling but it never asks which I wanna use

I have the AT&T model. I just don't use AT&T service. I have the option under bluetooth settings on the watch to 'play phone audio on watch'. I believe you have to turn off numbersync in the watch settings and not just through AT&T. Is there a setting on the watch under settings>cellular>number sync.... to deactivate it?

Hi there you need to make sure that you uncheck the options to share number with phone for calls and also texts, you will then have the option to 'pay audio on watch' under bluetooth settings, this was it will notify you of call on watch and phone (much like a standard non LTE/3G wear watch

Bluetooth issue

Dear all
First post so here goes. Had my 7 plus exactly a week.
Specs as follows:
Model TA 1055
Android 8.1
1st June 2018 Security patch
unrooted but themed with Substratum (Swift Black)
So my phone won't detect either my amazon bluetooth adapter plugged into my bedside radio or my creative bluetooth speakers. My lenovo p2 can find these without issue. Strangely it can connect to my PC's bluetooth which gives a passcode. I've cleared bluetooth cache and still not fixed. Anybody else had bluetooth issues?
TA-1046 here with June patch and I have bluetooth issues as well.
I was not able to connect my Gear S3 smartwatch to my phone, untill I decided to turn off BT and turn it back on again.
Suddenly it worked.
Then I was not able to update my S3 apps from the Samsung App Store, untill I stopped BT and turned it back on again.
It seems to me that there is a BT issues in the June patch.
How it was before, I don't know as I received this phone 2 days ago and it updated automatically to June update.
Sorry for adding more negativity to this forum than assistance.
I am also having similar problem with connecting to my LG sound bar. It picks it up when i search, saves it but does not connect.
BT issues
Well unfortunately I have to say same. BT even can't see any device during scanning. Other devices each between other works. Other devices also see N7+ and can pair with it. Seems like scanning doesn't work for me on N7+.
I tried reset networks, clear BT cache couple of times - didn't changed anything. Still wanna avoid factory reset.
No mods, no root.
I'm bit surprised (in the sad way) by this device :-/
In the meantime BT has worked quite well for a couple of days, untill today.....
I could connect to my Gear S3, but not much later I notice new notifications on my phone but no popup on my watch.
It turned out that BT was not connected anymore.
Manually connected and the same process happens again.
Untill I rebooted my phone. From then on, my watch stayed paired with the phone and didn't loose connection.

I lose the connection to my Gear S3 several times a day.

Try resetting your Gear S3 to factory defaults and remove BT settings on phone.
(also clear BT cache).
I had to set up my watch a couple of times.
Still it disconnects sometimes, but then a normal reboot of the phone helps to get the connection back.
Submitted this to another thread, but I'll copy paste it here.
I recently got Bluetooth headphones and found that playback easily got choppy if a part of my body was in between my headset and phone, or if the phone got locked. I did find a solution to this however, and not sure if it would work for everyone that has Bluetooth issues as well.
It seems as if Bluetooth has its own app on Android 8.1, and due to this, it's getting managed by Doze or the automatic app power saving that's on by default. I switched off battery management using the following steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Apps & Notifications
3. Tap on the option that says "See all x apps"
4. Tap on the top right hand 3 dots.
5. Tap on "Show system"
6. Scroll down until you find "Bluetooth" and tap on it
7. Tap on Battery
8. Tap on Battery Optimisation
9. Press the blue dropdown that should say "Not optimised", and select "All apps"
10. Find Bluetooth again, tap on it.
11. Optimise should be ticked, tick "Don't Optimise" instead, then press Done.
My Nokia 7 plus cannot find other Bluetooth devices.
I cleared cache, went to battery optimisation settings, ticked on the Bluetooth icon and selected *"Don't optimise"* turned on my Bluetooth to search for other devices and still this same problem persists. Can't find other Bluetooth devices including phones, tablets and headsets. I'm really confused on why there should be such a problem. I don't want to Reset to Factory settings. But I'm not being left with any other choice. I'm so upset that I have to spend so much and yet other cheap phones can search for other devices so easily.. please I need a solution immediately
