Xbox One Controller pairing issue. Anyone succeed? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I have the latest stock Nougat ROM. My Xbox One controller has its own latest update. When I press the small bind button to pair to my S7 Edge, it just never shows up in the Bluetooth list so I can't tap on it to pair it. I am of course pressing scan and the binding button and Bluetooth searches for new devices and yet it just never shows up. What am I doing wrong. According to Microsoft I am doing everything correctly. Anyone succeed with pairing them together? I just want to try it with my Gear VR headset.

Bluetooth problems? Anyone else having them?

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with bluetooth on their Archos 101. I can't tell if perhaps my hardware is flaky, or if its a software issue.
Basically, bluetooth seems to work sporadically. Sometimes it pairs like it should, other times it is a fight just to get it to pair with my phone, laptop or bluetooth keyboard. Often times I have to reboot just to get it to pair and it seems to really struggle if both bluetooth AND wifi are enabled.
I'm running the stock current ROM and outside of the android market APK and some basic apps, I haven't done anything wacky or weird to it.
I guess I'm just looking for some validation and/or confirmation and/or possible fixes if any.
Sorry, i have experienced no issues with bluetooth apart from forgetting to switch it on
I have had some issues as well. Paired a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth stereo headphones. They pair and connect fine, but the audio is choppy. It will sound fine for 15-20 seconds and then it will skip, go silent, bring back audio, etc. Tried playing same audio through unit speakers and no problems. I also have an Archos 70 tablet and have no problems with the same headset. Both have been updated with the Froy 2.2. Starting to think it might be a hardware issue with the 101. Anyone have any other thoughts?
Never had it working
I always get paired but not connected. Never have been able to get it to work.
The same problem. Pair, but not connect!
I've never found problem about bluetooth (Archos 101 - firmware version 2.1.08)
Pair & connect with DELL BH200 (Bluetooth Headset) - work fine.
Pair & connect with DELL BT Travel Mouse - work fine.
i'm getting major issues on my new replacement 101. did you ever sort your issues? i'm using latest fw.
its really hit or miss (mostly miss) whether it actually see's any BT devices when it scans. yet wifi works fine 100%
I experiment something very similar with my 101, this both on standard Android and Urukdroid 0.7 or 1.0 :
- very difficult (multiple tries have to be done) to get successfull peering.
- with BT enabled phones
- with BT GPS (G-Sat BT-368i, wich is given in forums to work well on our gen8 devices)
- for the GPS (which is the BT device that interest me) : impossible to have it working directly from GoogleMap, I got some success with "Bluetooth Gps Provider" appli from Market). This device is never shown as connected from the BT Parameters.
Could it be a hardware problem, that is do I have to return the tablet to archos ?
Thanks for your experience feeling about the fiability of the BT on 101 tablet.
It generally works fine for me, but a couple days ago it got stuck, and it would not allow to send me files to other devices until I rebooted the Archos. The same day I was also using bluetooth headphones and the wifi network together, and I had audio stutter problems. It seems that wifi has a negative effect over bluetooth stability.
It works for me... though
Bluetooth is not working on my Archos 101.
When I try "scan for devices" it shows 1 or 2 devices, while my HTC HD2 shows about 5. When I click again on "scan for devices" - sometimes it is howing different device, sometime shows bloothooth adress only.
Evan my HTC can see Archos, it cannot pair with it. Archos never see my HTC.
Zalek
Same here
I can pair with my phone (htc desire hd) but cant connect.
I need my phone connected for gps.
Nobody has a solution ?
No solution ?
Thanks
BT has some issues for me too with an A43.
BT+wifi means i either can't get a proper internet connection, or BT devices disconnect.
quite annoying, because i want to be able to use my BT mouse with the internet browser.
and my jabra halo headset connects in dumb mode (no media/volume controls) most of the time.
which is annoying, because it means my headset is stuck on the volume i last used.
Hi Lara and other fellows! For me, after all sort of tries, the solution comes with full reinitialization. Plug the unit to AC outlet, backup all your data, go to settings, repair and formatting and full reini. It seems that when we update firmware the things go a little crazy with the bt side. Good luck!
Think I've sorted out bluetooth problems
I also have had real problems with the bluetooth on Archos 101 - pairing but not connecting, causing "Location & Security" to crash when I attempted to open it (in settings). I updated the firmware to 2.4.19 and then rebooted - still the same problems, so I did a full initialization and hey presto all problems seem to have vanished ! A pain because I've now got to re-download all the apps I had before but at least the tablet is working as it is supposed to.
Hope this helps others.

Archos 101 Bluetooth Problem - Known issue?
I'm having the same problems. I contacted Archos support and they told me to do a full reinitialization. This did not resolve the issue.
When scanning for bluetooth devices, nothing shows up until the 5th or so attempt.
The mac address of the discovered device is shown instead of the device name.
When attempting to connect it fails several times, then it pairs but says "paired but not connected."
When I finally connect the audio stutters. It's extremely choppy... useless.
If the bluetooth is left on, the 101 will eventually freeze when the screen sleeps and cannot be woken up by pressing the power button. The green light stays on when this happens. Pressing the button a few times or holding it in reboots the 101.
After reading all the posts I've come to the conclusion that Archos likely knows about this issue.
Archos, if you're reading this, for the sake of your customers, please admit this is a known issue and let us know if it's fixable and when a possible fix may be available.
I encourage everyone to open a ticket with Archos support.
If you purchased your 101 used and it's been registered by the previous owner, you can register it and the registration will be instantly transferred to you.
Create a support account at archos.com
After you create an account you can add products to your account and submit tickets for them.

[Q] has anybody got a bluetooth mouse working?

anybody?
and if so, what model?
Just gave it a try with a MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000: connected & paired in about 30 sec. Seems to be working fine...
There are known issues with bluetooth in 4.2.1 (4.2 in general) and Google is supposedly fixing this in the next update. Its kind of hit or miss if you can get something to connect.
thanks for the replies
i've tried a speedLink Snappy BT mouse which is detected and pairs OK but otherwise does not work -- no cursor or buttons response.
i might try and get a microsoft 5000.
or just wait for the update!

Marshmallow update - cant pair bluetooth devices using PIN

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

Bluetooth question

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.

Bluetooth connection issues

I bought recently a Xbox one s controller for me. Because it has Bluetooth I could play normally on my phone, but yesterday I updated my android to the last version of CM13 and since them I can't use it on my phone.
Now everytime I try to use it I have to delete it from BT paired devices and re-take them, but everytime I try to pair the android shows that the controller is connected but IRL isn't, the Xbox button keeps blinking and the app Bluetooth viewer shows that the device isn't connected
How can I fix this?
After some hours searching, I found in this Post a solution, where I just copied the remap file and it worked like charm.
