I've got a new SM-910T with Android 6.0.1 (N910TUVS2EQB1) stock firmware
The first-time setup offers the Google "Got another device" NFC transfer.
But my current phone with Android 5.1.1 (N910TUVU2DOK2) won't find any "nearby devices" from Google Setup.
Can I skip over the "Got another device" and complete the initial setup on the new phone, and then come back and try that function later?
If so, where do I find it?

Here's the issue:
It does nothing with the suggested back-to-back NFC alone. On the new phone, I select Try another Way.
The old phone says searching for devices for a while, then eventually "no devices found"
If I put them back to back, I get a sound and the old phone says Touch to beam '.
Then it goes back to "searching for devices" and soon "no devices found"
When trying multiple times, sometimes the NFC position gives the message "Connecting To Device..."
That displays for a few seconds. Then a small notification "Sorry something went wrong".
Then it goes back to "searching for devices" and soon "no devices found".
OK - I'm moving on.
Sadly, a common situation --- a new "feature" introduced -- Doesn't work -- no documentation - no explanation.
I'll just keep using Titanium Backup!

Hey, I need a little help with this here.
1. I flashed Jelly Bean (9.1.A.0.490 Stock Generic-Intl) on my Xperia V yesterday. Before that, when I had ICS, I had paired my laptop and phone via WiFi, so that I could have access to the phone's data whenever, without having to run for the USB cable all the time.
2. Under "Trusted Devices" in Settings --> Xperia --> USB Connectivity it says there are no trusted devices (which is correct, considering that I have NOT paired my phone with my laptop after flashing).
3. Sometimes (especially after shutting down my laptop), in the notification bar I see that the phone is "Awaiting Connection" from my laptop (which is strange, given that I have NOT paired my phone with my laptop after flashing). Tapping on that notification does nothing. It is swipeable, though.
4. I tried to pair my laptop with my phone over WiFi after flashing and I get an error message (see the attached screenshot for the error) on the phone, while PCC says "Failed to connect over WiFi" (or something to that tune). (Now this is really weird, given that PCC should be able to read/write into the protected part of my phone's memory.)
5. I have long pressed the notification, and then tapped "App Info", which took me to the app in the Apps, under Settings. I cleared app data, and force stopped it. Then I restarted my phone, and tried to pair, with the same result. (In fact, the screenshot was taken after this attempt.)
Lastly, I have made some conclusions:
1. Somehow my phone thinks that it is paired with my laptop, because the message appears in the notification bar only after shutting down my laptop. However, I cannot see my phone in my laptop, nor see that the phone has connected with my laptop anywhere in the phone.
2. Solving this the easy way would require me to root my phone, and delete the file myself. But I don't want to root, not just yet. Maybe in some time, but not just yet.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance! (I promise, upon my honor, to hit thanks on all those posts that help!!)
Kartik.
Ps. I know it got kinda long, but I thought that it would be better to expose all my cards, for your convenience.
Solved
Ok. Here's what I did.
Rooted

Thank you.
So I've got a new Samsung Gear Live from the Play Store. I'm attempting to pair the device to a Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Gear Live I'm prompted with selecting a language. I choose English US. Then i'm taken to the "Install Android Wear on your phone" Screen
At first this screen would show me the text "Gear Live 4AFV" (or something along those lines). However 9/10 (after rebooting or resetting the watch) it will simply show me "Gear Live" no 4 digit name.
Without the 4 digits showing the phone will not detect the bluetooth device to connect. On the off chance that it does show up and the phone is able to detect the watch, the pairing process can either work, or stall leaving both devices sitting at a "wait a moment while pairing" screen that never ends.
Lastly, if everything works and i'm able to pair the watch and phone. it will randomly disconnect and nothing I do will make it reconnect to one another.
Other things to note. Bluetooth has no issues on my phone with any other device.
I've reset the watch numerous times,
I've uninstalled the Android Wear app as well as any other watchfaces or launchers.
I've factory reset the phone.
Suffice it to say i'm almost certain there is a problem with the watch, the question is has anyone else experience this or anything similar with a Reset hasn't fixed the problem and is there possibly a solution to this problem that isn't a replacement.
Google has offered to replace the watch but I want to ensure I"m not missing something here.
thanks for any assistance in advance.

I have the same connection issue but not until I updated it to Android version 5.0 that I started to get connection issues and the gear live was constantly doing a sync loop and it would not stay connected or send SMS messages.
I haven't used a Huawei phone since news that Nokia was about to dominate the market with Microsoft Lumina (LOL).
I have 1 week to have the phone ready for someone else to take it back out in the field.

1/ So i'm thinking the first thing is to reformat the P9-Plus to get around the fact that his manager didn't seem to get the screen-PIN on his last day.
- Anyone willing to throw pointers here? Most phones I just hold power+volume on boot - but this one goes to an EMUI menu which asks to "download and update" or "restart"... it always "fails to connect" with no option to reformat.
2/ Which OS is recommended? I had the epic Sony Playstation phone, but was silly enough to update to Android 4... little did I know this NERFed half the features and made it slow. I had to backdate it.
- Do I just update to the latest OTA that is offered and leave-it-be? Our Microsoft Office will be sandboxed, so general OS security is less of a concern - performance matters most, with general features to keep the sales-rep happy coming in second-place.
3/ Do any of you know in advance if this is going to be sim-locked? I can see ads for questionable sim-unlock software which suggests it will be.
Quick update:
Trying to mash various button combinations on boot - one of the times it said "updating" with an orbiting dot...
The phone rebooted once or twice and then I was back at the lock screen.
I also double-checked the error message in EMUI: "Getting package info failed. connected to WiFi: [my wifi]... <Change> ... <Cancel>"
change just lets me change the Wifi hotspot (none work), and cancel just goes back to the main menu:
""Download latest version and recovery""
"Reboot"
"Shutdown"
One of the times I ended up in "FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE"
Please connect Usb Cable and Open Hisuite

So I guess that will be my next stop is putting some bloatware on my PC to see if I can wipe it from there
I have a Bluetooth remote shutter—something like this or this, the original listing I bought has been updated to a new version—that I've used with both a Pixel 3a and 5a with no problems...until I updated them to Android 12.
Now I get a "Cannot pair with AB Shutter 6 because of an incorrect PIN or passkey" error whenever I try. But the shutter doesn't have a PIN, or at least I never needed one with Android 11, and it doesn't even give me the option to enter one, just says "oh wrong PIN sorry bye".
I've already wiped data for com.android.bluetooth, and tried various combinations of the Bluetooth-related developer options (Gabeldorsche, AVRCP version, MAP version), with no success.
I can pair the shutter with my computer just fine, and I can pair the phone with my computer and a Bluetooth keyboard—it's only the specific combination of phone and remote shutter that doesn't work. And I get the same error message on two different devices, both specifically after updating to Android 12, so I can only imagine that's the problem.
I contacted Google support and they insisted they haven't had any reports of this issue, and wanted me to do a factory reset, which...sorry, but without the ability to restore a Nandroid backup if it doesn't work, I am not committing to an hour+ restoring everything.
Is there any log I can look at to see what is actually happening? An app I can use to, I dunno, force the connection somehow, or manually enter the PIN? I already tried this app, and it gets a "Connect error (read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1)". It also says "(waiting for the supported uuid...)" next to the device title, so I'm thinking it's not getting even as far as trying to pair from system settings.
Hi all. When I connect my new phone (Pixel 6a) to my car (Vauxhall Astra), I get the "Device Projection Privacy Consent" message on the display. Once I press "continue", then android Auto opens and it's working fine. However, this message comes up every time I connect my phone. My partners phone (same model) only showed this message the first time, and now Android Auto connects automatically.
Anyone got any idea why I get this message every single time I connect, and what I can do about it? I've no idea where the setting for this would be stored.
Thanks for any help,
Lee
