Bluetooth not prompting for passkey - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

not getting passkey/pin accept prompt on the phone. Smartwatch & phone see one another and the phone attempts pairing, while the smartwatch displays code, but then the phone does nothing, timing out and giving wrong code message. Running 5.02
How can I get the phone to take the next step, to display a passkey confirm prompt? Have I defeated the popup with some other sw e.g. Malware bytes?

Please post your question only once https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/bluetooth-paring-t3652072/post75714318 thanks!

Further testing shows:
watch pairs with other iphone & android phones.
OP5/Oos5.02/rooted no longer pairs when a passkeyrequirs approval. as the passkey prompt does not occur
My uniformed question is :
Can one clear [some]data or cache
delete some file
or re-install bluetooth from apk?

Working carrier unlock, CID, tether on Optimus 7

I have successfully done the following:
1. Carrier Unlocked a Telus branded LG E900h Optimums 7
2. Connected the phone to Fido
3. Use 3G on Fido
4. Fixed broken Call Display problem
5. Tethered E900h to laptop
6. Set up Wireless Zune sync
I thought I would share my experience to reduce frustration that any others may encounter.
Unlocking the phone
Because my local phone unlock guy was closed the day I purchased the Optimus 7, I tried instantunlockcodes.com and purchased an unlock code for $10. I received 2 codes the next day, but neither worked. I recommend not using this website, as tech support responses were next day, and they were never able to get the code working (after 3 days).
I took the phone to my local unlock guy, who unlocked it successfully. He charged me $65.
For anyone who is trying to unlock the phone, when you insert a foreign SIM, the Optimus 7 asks you for a PIN. This is where you enter the service provider unlock code. When I tried either of the codes that instantunlockcodes.com gave to me, it said, "SIM ERROR". After looking around on the Internet, it seems that this is the message that comes up when it's the wrong code.
Getting Data on Fido
Telephone/voicemail automatically worked on Fido. To get Data to work (ie 3G) I had to change the APN setting.
Go to SETTINGS -> Cellular -> edit apn
"edit apn" is the button at the bottom of that screen. The settings should be:
APN: internet.fido.ca
User name: fido
Password: fido
Have Data connection ON and 3G connection ON.
Internet now worked for me, including browser and Outlook. Outlook connected to Exchange flawlessly.
Incidentally, the first time I set up my phone, I set up Windows Live immediately (startup wizard), and then Outlook Exchange. My appointments from Exchange were all in bright pink.
Because Windows Live was giving me a sync error, I did a factory reset, and set up Outlook first this time. Now, my Exchange appointments are in red. No idea how to change the color, but I prefer red. In both cases, the Windows Live account's appointments are in Blue.
Call Display and MMS
Call Display and MMS did not work. Frankly, I don't care about MMS (there is another thread on how to fix this), but Call Display is quite important.
Specifically, Call Display worked when land lines called me, but did not call when most cell phones called me. They would read, Unknown.
The solution to this was through Fido: I had to call them and change my Call Display from "Call Display with Name Display" to "Call Display WITHOUT Name Display". Evidently, this problem has manifested in other unlocked phones, such as some Blackberries as well.
A point of interest: when I put in the original Telus SIM, the call display also did not work properly. They must have given me Call Display with Name Display as well.
Tethering and Wireless Sync
Tethering is a really handy thing for me. I use it infrequently, but it's really invaluable when I need it.
I've modified the solution that's been posted around, to be specific to Fido, but to clarify a couple of the screens, as well:
1. If you haven't already, install Zune first. While tethering is enabled, Wired Sync on Zune won't work. But Zune has wireless synch, which is way cool anyhow.
2. Set up Wireless Sync on Zune. I won't go into all the details, but basically, make sure that the phone is connected to the WiFi network, that your PC has access to the same network (it can be hardwired, as long as it has access to the same IP subnet). If you have a guest/work router, make sure that both your phone and PC are on the same network. With your phone plugged in, run the Wireless Sync wizard on Zune. It's painless.
3. Unplug your phone.
4. Press Phone, and dial ##634#, then press the Call button. This makes visible a hidden app called "MFG". Go to the list of all your apps, and you'll see a new icon with a hammer, wrench and screwdriver lablelled MFG. Open it.
5. You'll be asked for a password. Enter 277634#*# -- you'll need to enter this password every time you want to go into MFG, which is a good thing, because I think you can seriously mess up your phone if you play around in there.
5. Go to Engineer -> Port Setting
6. Select the QC COMPOSITE and validate. The phone will automatically reboot.
7. VERY IMPORTANT STEP: This is totally counter-intuitive, but you must go to SETTINGS -> Cellular and turn OFF Data Connection.
Note that once you're done tethering, you need to turn it back ON in order to use Internet on the phone.
8. Connect the phone with a USB cable.
9. Windows will automatically detect the phone, and if you're using Windows 7, will prompt you with a popup with the download link for the LG driver. It says LG CDMA driver, but it works. The full file name is LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe
10. Once the drivers are installed, click start, and type "Modem", click Phone and Modem.
11. Click Modems, double-click LGE CDMA USB MODEM, click the Advanced tab.
12. Under Extra Initialization Commands, enter:
+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.fido.ca"
Replace internet.fido.ca with a different provider APN, if you're not with Fido, obviously.
13. Close the Modems screen, click Start, type "Dial" and click Set up a Dial-up Connection.
14. Enter your home area code because Windows forces you to, and go to the next screen. Then enter as the dialing number:
*99#
Leave the login/password blank. Click connect -- and PRESTO! Tethered Optimus 7.
* IMPORTANT *
Once you're finished tethering, you need to turn Data Connection back on. For some reason, when Data Connection is on, tethering doesn't work. Fortunately, it's a pretty simple toggle to switch.
I hope that this is helpful!
This was very helpful thank you!
I want to get an optimus 7 and unlock it but i was counting on a website since i don't have an unlock guy. Is your guy by any chance in montreal?
And if not then do you think unlockallcellularDOTcom will work?
Also, how are you liking the optimus 7's hardware(not wp7's missing features)?would you pick it over the surround?
Unfortunately, my guy is in Vancouver, and I have no experience with unlockallcellular.
I love the Optimus 7's build -- it is an extremely well built, sturdy device. I chose it over the surround (basically the same price) because I don't have occasion to use the slideout speaker, and the LG is thinner.
The only hardware aspect I don't like is the micro-USB plug on the side.
Try typing "LG Optimus 7 Unlock" in Ebay.ca, there only option there is mobilexpresscanada, which charges $25 right now to unlock it, and that is the price through ebay. On their site, the price is at $40. I have used their services in the past, and they are often very reliable and fast. I have yet to unlock my own Optimus 7, as I see no need for it yet (I travel to Europe and Middle East after May, so the price and need might be different then), however, there are possitive reviews regarding the unlocking of the Optimus 7 on their Ebay page. Good luck.
I'm having a problem with the same model phone. I've put a bell SIM that I just picked up in the phone and it's not prompting me for an unlock code. I've purchased an unlock code from a site I trust, but it's kind of hard to enter it with no prompt.
Did you have to do anything special for the unlock prompt to appear?
I'm having issues... I walked through the APN settings and all on the E900h but I still get that triangle which basically says no data. I have the phone unlocked and all... thought maybe I need to put some setting in the MFG up or something? Really confused... I get cell coverage but zero/nada on Data/3G.
There's any way to set the MMS server of a carrier that's not preset on the "Profiles" of MFG App?
Thanks

Can anyone confirm this?
Does an unlocked Telus Optimus 7 think it's roaming when it's on the Fido network?
I know that was an issue with older GSM phones due to the Rogers/Fido network code renaming...
no power supply while tethering
I noticed when I left my optimus in tethering mode the battery kept going down even while connected to computer via usb. There seems to be power because when it got down to zero, the usb kept powering my optimus. Is the power supply in tethering mode reduced? Anybody with similar experience?
any idea how to take the menu MGF back again to "normal" ? because sometimes we could have to send back to LG and they will notice, after i did this (only put that engenier code the phone unlocked for any network ) hahahaha is this possible ? how back to normal anyway ?
Well, the MFG app can be deleted like any other app. So there is that. And I am pretty sure your phone is NOT unlocked for all networks when you put in ##634# and then enter 277634#*#
I would like to ask the OP if he attempted to input the unlocking codes he received from the website, more than 3 times?
I also received codes from a website and after 3 attempts at inputting them at the pin screen, the phone now asks for a PUK code?
I thought this odd.
I put my sim that came with the phone back into it and it did not ask for any other code.
I have now tried sims from 4 other networks, from friends etc, and every time it asks for a puk code.
Any info you can provide would be great. I have gone to hell and back with this phone I plan to make a big tutorial at the end so that nobody else has to go through the same.
There is so much mis-information on the internet about these handsets, its unreal
Cheers

Confirmed: The phone is always roaming on Fido. So it's a bit of a hack in that you have to enable data while roaming - just need to be careful to disable data in case you are ACTUALLY roaming.
Sent from my GT-I9000M
Thanks!!!
The hint with setting Data-Connection to OFF was the clue.
Works now also with vodafone in Germany!
U.
You can obtain your unlock code in fastgsm.com with your IMEI, and change your APN Settings to your new carrier network..
Can you tether this phone with a mac? And please don't start this fanboy thing...

and then download different versions of this chevron tool.. i found like three of them .. it could be the same file.. but jus download all of em..
then in the phone switch off wifi,
switch on airplan mode,
set date to october 1 2011(do this in pc too),
keep the time zones same in both pc and phone..
and now try to unlock from chevron in one folder, doesn't work remove the usb cable connect it again try using chevron from another folder..
do this repeatedly you will get it unlocked at one point of time for sure.... i am still trying to find out which is the correct fix....
Only after you unlock it , you will able to change the registry to mask your phone as HD7 and then only you will be able to download antyhing from market... b4 that you will only get "Cant get this info right now"

OKay..
Check which radio mode your phone is in. If it's not in CDMA mode, then the MMI code you are entering will not work.

5 Ways How To Fix Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code
Posted on July 2, 2014 by Chevy Powell in Gadget with 0 Comments
While here at Technobezz, we had covered a lot of Solutions for problems on almost all Mobile Phones. The Samsung galaxy variants being the very popular device, we have wrote some of the simplest and helpful solutions for issues facing on them. While there are a plenty common errors on the Samsung galaxy.The Invalid MMI Code error is seen to be a prominent problem,most people cannot make calls or send text messages . One of the problem that really caught our attention and which was found to be the most difficult of the many was Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code .
A user complaint :
Hello i am having Connection problem or invalid MMI Code.”. I am unable to send or receive calls and text messages, and i cannot recharge airtime
You normally see this error when you are about to check your account balance , Topping up, Recharging or performing any function designed by your sim service provider, like adding voucher to run a ussd code.
WHAT CAUSED CONNECTION PROBLEM OR INVALID MMI CODE
While different country cell phone provider varies, it still defined to be the same operation like 124# , *1359# are operation functions use to execute a task.But if you are getting “Connection problem or invalid MMI code” This error normally occurs because of issues with service provider and sim card authentication.The Invalid MMI Code error is found on mostly dual sim smartphones, such as the Samsung galaxy S Duos.
HOW TO FIX CONNECTION PROBLEM OR INVALID MMI CODE
How To Fix Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code
How To Fix Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code
Method 1
I am listing this solution first because users has less attention to this, yet it is the simplest and most effective one. App Disabling - there are a lot of user who have found deleting an app which may have being causing the MMI code error. However, this may not be the case for most people. To find out if there is any app that may have be causing you to get this error, you simple need to go into safe mode on your phone.In this guide we will be using Samsung Galaxy.
What is Safe Mode?
Safe mode is very similar to a computer’s safe mode. It do not load any Apps. Basically it temporarily disabled all pre -installed applications and services that came with the phone and the one’s you have downloaded
How to Enter Safe Mode On Samsung Galaxy
To enter safe mode and to find out if there’s a culprit app that may be interfering with network operation of your phone, kindly follow the instruction below . Apps Like FX Camera is seen to be a treat in most cases.However, to enter safe mode:
>Turn OF your phone
>Hold the Power button
>While holding the power button keep tapping on the menu button, this is the button left of the home key
You will be greeted with a safe mode logo at the bottom left of the screen.
Now it’s time to test .
>Enter the same Prefix code you were trying before within the dialer and see if it works eg “*135#
>If it works then there is an app is causing the Invalid MMI Code error on the android phone .
>Reboot your phone and remove any recently installed apps
Method 2
Another simple and effective way to fix Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code on android phone is to add a comma at the end of the Prefix code.
For example
>If your Prefix code is *2904*7#
>Then adding the comma at the end would do just the trick
> *2904*7#,
OR
You can use the + symbol after *
Like *+2904*7#
By adding the comma it forces the operation to execute and overlook any error that’s in the way
Method 3
Please also read :Secret Codes For All Samsung Galaxy Variants (S2/S3/S4/S5)
To Fix Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code on samsung galaxy , this method is simply entering into device information mode and activating Radio and Turn on IMS over SMS
To Enter information mode :
>Dial *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer
>Navigate to Device/Phone Information
>Click on “Run Ping Test ”
After the Ping test is performed
>Click on “Turn Off Radio”
then
“Click on “Turn on SMS over IMS”
IMS :IP Multimedia Subsystem
IP :Internet Protocol
SIP:Session Initiation Protocol
While this setting is off SMS is sent or received over a period of 1x(times) the circuit switched connection
Finally reboot .
Method 4
Restarting your phone several times can do the trick. Basically, turn your phone on , navigate to network settings. Then hold the power and the home button together until your phone turns off. then Turn it back on.
Method 5
On Technobezz there are always more than one ways to solve a problem and here we have a collection of solutions, These links below are articles for different problems. But, most of my users has found a solution by applying the same principle.

Cannot run 4636 code
Thx for sharing. Tried it, but I cannot run the *#*#4636#*#* on my SM-G900V (Samsung S5 from Verizon) Already unlocked the hidden menu and can run some codes, but the 4636 won't work. Wanted to access because I need to change my SMSC number. You got any ideas?
Tx.
How were you able to get it unlocked ? I also have a SM-G900V Verizon and I'm frustrated with this damn thing.

Fast and Easy access to Google.com with FRP locked S7 AT&T phone.

EDIT:
Finally found a method which solved the FRP. There sure are a lot of originator's and posts/videos about the FRP topic. It's a good learning process... in the process
So I've been working to bypass the FRP on an S& Edge. The AT&T S7 Edge I won via a police auction arrived yesterday. For those folks who would like to purchase items in the same auction location can go to p r o p e r t y r o o m dot com, and register there. This phone was locked, and advertised as so on the website. Other than that it is in very good shape. It is now my fully legal property, so please, let's not get into posts stating it is not, or other 'moral'/intellectual conundrums.
So I bought this phone to have some fun and go about solving the FRP process. When I checked into the fastboot menu, I see that I have the following info:
MMB29M.G935AUCS4APK1
Samsung hero2qlteuc/hero2qlteatt
6.0.1/
I have been 'practicing' methods to bypass the FRP, and initially spent all last night into this morning looking for methods to get to the Google.com, via Youtube/XDA methods to do so. None worked, as I suspect that the security on this phone has been updated, so using the phone dial-er nope, messenger, tapping and selecting text for a search function - no search function is enabled on this phone - nope, voice activation via the tutorials nope, wired headphones nope. And a number of other methods, as well.
In the beginning I used RealTerm. Near as I can understand right now, the RealTerm method is primarily to get the phone dial-er up and then get into Google to go searching/downloading files. I don't understand that process, where you enter a few adt codes to change anything in the phone to disable the "your request has been denied for security reasons". If I am wrong I hope someone will let me know.
This morning I tried another set of Bluetooth headphones, Bose 35's, and once connected up, messed about with the buttons on the headset. After pressing some button combinations, here and there, google voice was activated and brought up the Google search box. No other previous methods accomplished that for me. After that I can search the internet, and that is about all. No access to Chrome as those sites, or proxies receive "your request has been denied for security reasons".
So I can get into the Google search prompt easily enough, and surf about the internet, where before no chance. Google continues to advise that "your request has been denied for security reasons", but I am a step closer... and still so far away.

I found a Smartwatch in the Sea!

Hello everyone. I'm on vacation right now and yesterday I found an LG G Watch in the sea. I'm really surprised it's still working, because the fitness app shows no data for the past week, and it's an IP67 device. But anyway:
I wanted to get the phone number of the owner so I could call him and give him back the device. But there's a problem: I don't have a compatible charging cable to pair it to my phone without resetting (through ADB), the Contacts app doesn't allow me to see phone numbers, just contact names, and if I try to start a call or send an SMS the watch says I can't because of course I'm disconnected from any device.
What can I do?
I don't want to give it to the local police, cause last time I returned a smartphone, and two days later the policeman was using it as if it was his own.
P.S.: I wanted to post this on the dedicated LG G Watch subforum, but since there's not much activity and since this is a completely normal Android Wear (1.5) phone, I thought I could reach more people posting here. Thanks for the help!
up... nobody can help?
So there's no way to find the owner huh?
I'd say that you are the new owner. Unless the prior owner put a special app on the watch, given that it is not an LTE device, there is no way to determine who the owner is, even if you charge it up.
You could ask LG if the owner registered it and if they would return it to them ?
or...
Settings - Personalisation - Accounts
does it show an email address ?
Here in Ireland there's a popular radio (FM) show that people call in with unusual little requests and issues with wide coverage. Usually somebody who knows the other person tells them about it within 5-10 mins. Maybe theres something similar in Italy?
If it's got no data for over a week, keep it. Congrats on the find.
Thanks to anyone for the given advice. I tried hardwiring a cut USB cable and pushing a Contacts APK with no success (app instantly crashed). Sent an eMail to LG some days ago and still no response. Also my holiday ended so I'm back to my far away city.. I feel really sorry, but I can't find any other way. Unfortunately there's no radio like that.
I have seen more people get better results on Reddit. Try r/helpmefind subreddit.
you could try this:
go to settings -> known networks
