Your Bluetooth won't connect to devices
Bluetooth connection failures are fixed by forgetting your phone and pairing it again fresh. Toggle Bluetooth off and on first as a quick test, then forget and re-pair if that doesn't work.
When Bluetooth pairing data gets corrupted or outdated, the connection fails. Forgetting your phone and pairing it again creates fresh pairing data, which fixes the problem. The Bluetooth hardware is fine — it's just the pairing information that needs to be refreshed.
Risk: Low

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Trying to connect repeatedly without first forgetting your phone — corrupted data causes the same failure every time
- Not putting the Bluetooth device into active pairing mode before trying to re-pair — devices won't appear in the list unless pairing mode is on
Signs you need professional help
- Re-pairing fails multiple times
- The phone's Bluetooth hardware appears to be faulty
- A specific Bluetooth audio profile (HFP, A2DP) isn't working even after pairing
