I was just wondering if there is a method out there to backup Bluetooth Pairings. It's kind of annoying to have to reconnect all of my Bluetooth devices.
Thanks!

Not from phone to phone. Just whenever you need a to do a clean install with factory image. Google backup only saves WiFi passwords.
There used to be an app called "pairs" here on xda that took care of this, but it's no longer in development. And does work on Q.
I was just curious, if saving a Bluetooth config file would do the trick.

Hi there, after all I finally managed to get the bootloader unlocked and CM running smoothly - wonderful.
To achieve this I had to work carefully up and down through the threads here and it was really worth the work.
The only problem I noticed so far is that I can't establish a wifi connection?! I do see the networks and I try to establish the connection with the credentials as I am used to, but I fail. I also don't see the wifi icon in the statusbar.
Is this a known issue or did I just miss to to do something correctly while flashing?
I tried to find a hint here in the forum, but didn't so far. Sorry if I just overlooked it.
Thanks for any help :good:

I got the same problem. I have heard that a new release of the kernel come soon. Lets hope then it is fixed

I also just unlocked the bootloader and flashed CM10.1 but my WiFi is working fine, no problems.
One issue I heard people talking about is that in some cases CM changes the MAC address of your phone, so if you have any mac filtering you need to fix it accordingly. However, if you don't even see the WiFi icon it's a bit strange (remember that the icon doesn't show until you are connected). Can you go into settings and turn it on, find networks, add manually, etc.?
Did you do a factory reset after installing CM?
yes id did a factory reset
So, just arrived at home and the wifi works totally fine
The problem just occured at work before, with a wifi which is not broadcasting.
Strange, cause all other devices connect without any problems - so there seems to be a connex to the new rom.
Btw, I was so frustrated already with this device, I wanted to change it against an Xperia z or htc one today. Now, I'll keep it. Such an impressive leap forward compared to stock fw. Fast and smooth.
Cheers
still not ale to connect to the wifi here at work.
signal is good
network incl. wep pw is saved but it just does not connect. All other devices (SG2, iPad) are connected as always.
Doesn't make much sense to me. So if anyone has an idea, I'm glad to test it.
cheers

That would have been my intention as well, but we don't use any mac address filtering. I can connect with every other device as long as I have the right credentials.
There are not many options to change the settings, probably there's a app available....
Would be interesting if anybody else has this issue with not broadcasting wifi networks.
I cant connect to wifi network too. No mac filter, tried to change from WPA2 to WEP but still not able to connect.
Edit also tried factory reset.

Is that just a guess? I would not see any relation to the kind problem we have.
Factory reset, wipe, flashing of ROM ... I think it's more related to the wifi driver.
I have two Nook HD 7s that I rooted using leapinlar's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500. They work well except when the kids get on the network together the devices appear to have the same ID, so the router appears to be assigning the same IP address to both of them. The result is the two kids can't be on at the same time. Anyone heard of anything like this before?
I don't remember for sure, but when I did the root and CM10.1.3 on emmc, I backed up one and then may have used that backup to do the 2nd tab. Would that cause this issue?
I don't have the devices with me right now, but thought I'd ask anyway. I'll have them later to troubleshoot "hands on".
Thanks. They've been working fine for months otherwise...
Two possibilities come to mind:
1) The first device had been set to use a static IP address on your Wifi network, and that got copied to the second device when you restored the backup to it. Fix would be to change the fixed IP address on the second device, or use DHCP.
2) Another possibility (though I don't know if this would actually happen) is that the second device ended up with the same MAC address as the first device following the restore. That would mean that the router would not be able to differentiate between the devices and it would just keep handing out the same IP address whenever either device asked for one. If that does turn out to be the case then I think you might have to take the second device back to its stock ROM and then re-install CM10.1.3 from scratch, rather than by restoring a backup from the first device.

If you installed the backup to another device they will have the same MAC Address. The solution is to go to /system/etc/firmware/ti-connectivity and delete the wl1271-nvs.bin file. When it reboots it will rebuild that file with the correct MAC Address.

Hmmm. The unit won't let me delete or rename the file. I have root access activated & wifi turned off. Is there another perm I don't know about? Or perhaps I need to do it via my pc?
Never mind. I got it. Had to change perms for File Manager from Safe mode to Root Access. Done and everything is fine. Thanks leapinlar!
Hello community. I was wondering, is there any particular setting for Titanium Backup in order to backup, but more importantly Restore Bluetooth pairings? ?
I noticed that although I use the "Backup all user apps + system data" option in Titanium Backup. when restoring the Bluetooth pairings, it does not restore any of the Bluetooth pairings to the phone, and I end up redoing manually
Was just wondering/hoping someone experienced this and may know of a solution.
If possible, I'd like to avoid manually pairing all my bluetooth devices. If so, would you be so kind to share
LOL. Takes you two seconds to repair devices.

Indeed, it's not that it takes a long time to re-pair my bluetooth devices, but it would be much easier to just restore them from the TB backup.
It worked when I was on an htc device with sense, I could just restore the Bluetooth parings via TB.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution to restore bluetooth pairings on the Note 4 using TB
I'm wondering the same thing. TB never restores pairings for me.
I emailed their support two weeks ago, no reply. Nice customer service for a paying customer.

Takes longer than that.
I have 8 Bluetooth devices paired with my phone, some take longer to take than others. My car alone takes a few minutes and can't do it while driving.
funny you mentioned it:
change log from 12/8
What's New
• Added support for backing up/restoring bluetooth pairings on Android 4.2+ (including 5.0 Lollipop).

Old thread, but same problem. I was trying to restore Bluetooth pairings on my N6. Nothing happened. Really annoying for paying customers.

So I have some important WiFi networks saved on my S6. I periodically use a Nexus 6 and every time I restore my Google account to the Nexus 6 it only transfers half of my saved networks. I have tried everything I can think of and I'm at a loss...
I've looked in the WiFi supplacant file, I've tried apps that are supposed to read the passwords - both of these resulted in an obvious encrypted password. I've tried deleting all my Android backups and letting a fresh backup get saved and restore that... I've tried using titanium backup to restore WiFi. Nothing has given me good results...
Any other suggestions? I'm at a loss.

Why not just save the WiFi network on both of them and then it won't be an issue?
I don't think the S6 backs up everything the way the N6 does. The N6 has always restored everything, Apps, WiFi networks, widgets etc... By itself - whereas other devices don't back up *everything* - I doubt you'll be able to do this without getting the password.
Perhaps try resetting the N6 and restore it in the initial setup and have it pull the info from the S6? That might work?

That's what I've tried numerous times, after a fresh reset/install of different ROMs. I don't have access to the password or I would just put it in the N6.

Honestly, idk if there's another way?
Edit: you already tried my suggestion. My bad.
You have your wifi passwords on go to Settings > Backup & reset, put a tick in the box marked “Back up my data”?
That should work whenever you get a new Android phone/tablet and you sign into the new phone/tablet with your G-Mail account that’s the same account for your S6.
Unless the network is hidden and only allows registered devices to even see/connect to it? Idk why it wouldn't pull JUST that network.

Yeah that's what I don't get. It's not hidden, it transfer other networks. It's only my work WiFi that it won't transfer. It's weird.

Can you try Samsung Switch on the play store and have it ONLY transfer the networks? Idk if it will do that but that's another thing to try.

Failing that, if you're rooted, there are apps that can get you the password. Just tested this one on mine.

I've tried those in the past, as both phones are rooted, but it always just shows an encrypted password. A series of numbers and letters that's definitely not the password. I will try that one tho since it did show my home network correctly on the N6.
The Samsung switch doesn't look promising, it says my Nexus 6 isn't compatible. I will back it up on my computer tho and see if that works.

This one shows all my passwords as clear text, though I don't currently have my enterprise network configured.
My Tibu is showing a different host name from that shown by Kernel Adiutor and Change Host Name app. Bluetooth devices paired with the non-Tibu version all work fine, leading me to the conclusion that Tibu is somehow getting its info from a different file than that of the real host name. I formerly used Tibu to restore the ID after installation of a new rom so I wouldn't have to re-pair all my Bluetooth devices. That is no longer possible. Problem started when I flashed 6.0 rom. Now on 6. 0.1 Cataclysm with Despair 39 kernel but problem persists.
I have tried complete uninstall of Tibu after wiping its cache and data but the problem persists.
Searched forums but found nada.
Familiar to anyone? How to fix?

Easy. Stop restoring system data and pair your devices properly. Also proper troubleshooting helps. Like logcats

Thank you for responding.
I do not restore Any system data with Tibu at all. My devices all pair properly. As long as I ignore the Tibu version of host name. TIBU formerly gave correct information but now does not. Don't know if it is worth spending time with logcat to look for Tibu errors or behavior and comparing with.......what?
Just thought someone might have experienced something like this and could shed some light.
Thanks again for taking the time to consider this.

You mentioned restoring BT pairings. This is system data. It is not uncommon for this to happen more and more as android locks out things that use root.
