I am trying to pair my 6p with my tomtom running watch and cannot get it to pair. When the pairing request notification pops up, I tap on that it will not allow me to enter the pairing code. The keyboard will not even come up so that I could enter it. Any suggestions or anyone else seeing this issue on devices that require you to enter a unique pairing code?

When I pair up with my car bluetooth it might connect and maybe work when I start the car for the first time. Then it seems like the phone forgets that I have already paired up 100 times earlier. So it wants me again to enter the code. Even though I enter the code it will one work 1 out of 10 times. Is this a common problem? Do anyone have a solution?
No one who can help?

Any ideas on how to get this thing to pair with a bluetooth device that doesn't have a pin? I get a request for a passkey/pin during pairing and the OK button is disabled until a character is entered. The normal defaults don't work (0000, ETC) since the device doesn't require a pin. It works perfectly with my Rezound running ViperRez, and Windows, etc.
Not sure you can. That's a security feature of BT. Even if you could somehow alter the BT stack on the tablet, the other device would still need a pin to finish pairing. I suspect the other device DOES have a pin, and you'll need to figure out what it is. If it is a popular device, surely someone else has done the research for you and you can find it online. I know I have a BT GPS unit that didn't use any default PIN that I knew and after scouring for this obscure device I found a similar one using the same chip set and discovered the PIN in the other device's manual.
Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if I can find a device with a similar chipset. It's a targus mouse and this nexus is the only thing that has ever asked for a pin, and the manual doesn't specify one and support verified this. ICS devices hadn't been asking for one either.
As a suggestion, the Motorola Elite Sliver can pair via NFC.

Necroreplying for posterity: bluetooth supports pinless pairing, but android doesn't. There's two android bugs for this, 26049 and 52549.
Every time my car connects via Bluetooth I get a window and notification sound on my Note3 that asks me if I want to make my device discoverable or something along those lines. My car successfully connects but I have to click cancel on this window every time. Does anyone know how to disable this?
Thanks

The pop up refers to whether or not you wish to share your contacts and other files from the device with your audio systems capabilities. There is a radio dialog you can click on so it will accept your initial answer and no longer prompt.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, however this pop up has nothing to do with sharing contacts. It lists my phone on top with a check box to make it discoverable. And it shows my connected car audio system below. If I tap the lower entry it will ask me if I want to disconnect from my car. If I tap the other one it puts my phone into discoverable mode for 2 minutes. The problem is the phone is already connected.

Strange... The only thing I could suggest would be to look at your BT settings on the device. Maybe some type of menu item has been selected thus causing this popup to occur. The only other method is to delete the paired device from your vehicle's BT system and add it again in case some type of glitch happened during the discovery and pairing process.
Hope this helps!

Here's a screenshot of the window:
I get the same thing. Subscribed.

I get this too, but it's with my Motorola headset, not a car device. I just hit cancel. Sure would be nice if it would stop doing that.
Same here with my car's bt. I just hit "home" every time...

Well, I too get this window when I connect to my bt speakers at work and furthermore I'm not sure why I have to always physically connect. on my nexus as soon as I turned on bluetooth it would automatically connect.
I'm trying to get a sense of whether the following bug is only affecting me or other users as well. I did a full factory image flash of 6.0 and attempted to pair a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth audio receiver. For the keyboard, it forces the other device to generate a pin that is then typed on the keyboard. I eventually got this to work, but the NP kept taking a while just to generate a code, and would frequently time out before I could send the code. Once paired though, it worked fine.
The main issue is the audio receiver, which has the simple 0000 pair code. When I type it in on the player (or any other number for that matter), there's no way to click next or proceed to have it pair. It just sits there until it times out.
Anyone else deal with this and/or find a workaround?
I just picked up 2 nexus players on sale at walmart and have been setting them up. I updated the first one to marshmallow before doing any setup and noticed something similar. I could not pair a microsoft bluetooth mouse i have, it would discover it and attempt to pair, first is says pairing, then connecting then a few seconds later says "could not pair". It doesn't ever prompt for a pin and I've tried several times. I was able to pair a ZAGG folio case keyboard I use with my nexus 10 tablet, it prompted me to type in a pin and that paired just fine. Interestingly, last night I picked up a Logitech K830 keyboard (really nice btw) that has a touchpad built in and it won't pair, same behavior as the mouse except it does prompt me to type in a pin on the keyboard, which it seems to accept but then won't finish pairing. Luckily it also has a wireless dongle I just connected via USB and that work fine.
On the second player I let it do OTA updates to 5.1.1 and the keyboard pairs up just fine. I'm going to see if after doing the update to marshmallow (and not wiping my data) if the pairing will still be there and work.
My thought was maybe marshmallow has trouble pairing with mice, or devices that have mice integrated. But it sucks your reciever won't work either. It would seem there's a bug.
Bump, I'm having issues pair a gamepad. It won't let me press "enter" to submit the pairing code

New update out, can anyone confirm this is fixed? I rather not format and setup again if it isn't fixed
Fixed problem pairing Bluetooth mouse on nexus player Android 6.0.
I found a fix. First of all I don't see an update on my nexus player as of today. But I could not pair the Microsoft mouse no matter what I try. So I replaced the batteries in the mouse with fresh and it paired and connected right away. I guess if the batteries are weak it can't pair.

Loaded the latest img from Google. Still have the issue. I am unable to enter the ping for the Bluetooth gamepad. It doesn't take batteries but it has been fully charged.
Problem Solved, updated firmware on the Bluetooth controller
Am also on Marshmallow, bootloader unlocked on my Nexus Player - love the device btw - I have the Asus gamepad, a HP K4000 bluetooth keyboard and the nexus remote control all paired and functional. Tried to add a Logitech m557 bluetooth mouse and it starts to pair and then says it cannot connect. I have another bluetooth mouse and I get the same result with trying to pair it as well. Bit of a headscratcher - Any advice would be appreciated
TIA
I am coming from a long history of HTC use and so I apologise if this question has an obvious answer.
Previously, if I wanted to connect to my bluetooth in the car (previously paired with), I would just hit the bluetooth button in quick settings to turn it on and that was it, just like connecting to wifi.
If I do this on my S7E, I then get another screen popping up that tells me my device is visible to others and lists previously paired devices for me to select from, and then I have push the back button to leave that screen?
Is there a simpler way as I used to do on my HTC?
cheers
C.
PS - I am sure this will be the first of a number of questions as I get used to TouchWiz and Marshmallow......Sorry.....

Have you ever *paired* your new phone with your car?
I've only had two cars with BT in them, but in both cases the car and phone had to be paired before they would work together.
Once that was done then it would work as you expect.
Specifics of getting your *car* into pairing mode I can't help with, but once you do that you should be able to select it while scanning from the phone (as you've seen already the phone will list devices it finds) and you can finish walking through the pairing.

Oh yes, it was paired with the bluetooth fine (its actually a visor BT device, not the car itself), and when I turn on the BT it shows up on the list of previously paired devices)
Don't have to make it a trusted device for it to auto-pair?
Why turn Bluetooth off at all?
Just leave it on.

Dave

Nope, just had to be paired.
Trusted Device brings in the Smart Lock stuff, which enables the option of having your phone NOT authenticate you (pattern/pin/finger/passwd) when connected.
For example, I have my car bluetooth set as a trusted device so that when I'm driving I don't get any identity challenge to use the phone (like for navigation), the screen will just come on as requested.
Smart lock is blocked by my exchange administrator as I get my work emails on my phone.
I turn the Bluetooth on the phone off because I don't turn the one in the car off and it's just outside the house and will stay connected.
