Possible problems

  • Bluetooth technology failure... Such problems are rare, but are considered the most difficult. It is very difficult to solve them on your own.

If the smartphone does not detect the headset, most often the reason lies precisely in the headphones. You need to try to clear the list of available devices and try to pair again. If this does not help, then proceed as follows.

  1. It is important to make sure that the headset battery is fully charged. If this is not the case, then it is worth replenishing the energy and turning the headphones back on.

In other words, the problem is purely programmatic. In this case, you can try pairing again via the cable, if possible. You can also return to the old version of the system on your smartphone or update the firmware on the accessory.

The latter solution is often simply not possible for technical reasons. The headset itself usually does not update itself, and it can be quite expensive to install a new version of Bluetooth at a service center. In any case, you should first make sure that the problem is really a driver incompatibility.

      If all previous problems are excluded, then the failure is still in the Bluetooth technology. The problem could have occurred in algorithms or codecs.
