• Multiple device connections – Reaching the maximum paired device limit blocks new connections. Forget old devices.
• Interference – Nearby electronics or obstructions can interfere with pairing signals. Change location.

Troubleshooting Steps to Fix Pairing Issues

To successfully pair devices to your Vivo X90 Pro, try these tips to rule out common causes and fix the problem on your end:

1. Enable Bluetooth on Both Devices

You can’t pair if Bluetooth is disabled. Enable Bluetooth in both your phone settings and the device’s.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. It is used in a variety of applications, such as connecting headphones to a phone, transferring files between devices, and controlling smart home devices.

To enable Bluetooth on the Vivo X90 Pro, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Bluetooth.
3. Slide the Bluetooth toggle to On.

Once Bluetooth is enabled, your phone will start scanning for nearby devices. To connect to a Bluetooth device, simply tap on its name in the list of available devices.

2. Put Device in Pairing Mode

Discoverable pairing mode is a state in which a Bluetooth device is actively broadcasting its presence to other devices. This allows other devices to find the device and initiate a pairing process.

To enable discoverable pairing mode on the Vivo X90 Pro, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Bluetooth.
3. Tap on the Settings cogwheel icon next to Bluetooth.
4. Toggle on the Discoverable switch.

Once discoverable pairing mode is enabled, your phone will remain discoverable for a period of time, typically 2 minutes. After that time, the phone will automatically revert to hidden mode.

To enable discoverable pairing mode on other devices, please consult the device’s documentation. The steps may vary depending on the device manufacturer and model.

3. Move Devices Closer Together

Get devices within 30 feet for successful pairing.

The distance between Bluetooth devices is important to a successful pairing because Bluetooth signals weaken over distance. This means that if the devices are too far apart, the signal may be too weak for the devices to pair successfully.

The maximum range of Bluetooth devices varies depending on the device manufacturer and model, but it is typically around 30 feet. However, the actual range may be shorter in areas with a lot of interference, such as near microwave ovens or other Bluetooth devices.

To increase the chances of a successful pairing, it is important to keep the devices close together. If the devices are too far apart, you may need to move them closer together or try a different location. You may also want to try turning off any other Bluetooth devices that are nearby.

4. Disable Background Apps and Services

Close recently opened apps which could disrupt pairing. Turn off unnecessary radios like cellular data.

Disabling background apps and services can help when dealing with Bluetooth pairing problems in a few ways:

• It can free up resources that are needed for Bluetooth pairing. Some apps and services can use a lot of resources, such as CPU and memory. This can make it difficult for your device to pair with other Bluetooth devices. By disabling background apps and services, you can free up these resources and make it easier for your device to pair with other devices.
• It can prevent conflicts between apps and services. Some apps and services may interfere with each other, which can cause Bluetooth pairing problems. By disabling background apps and services, you can reduce the chances of conflicts occurring.
• It can help to identify the cause of the problem. If you are having trouble pairing your Bluetooth devices, disabling background apps and services can help you to identify the app or service that is causing the problem. Once you have identified the app or service, you can disable it or find a workaround.

To disable background apps and services on the Vivo X90 Pro, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Battery.
3. Tap on Background power consumption.
4. You will see a list of apps and services that are consuming battery in the background.
5. To disable an app or service, tap on the toggle switch next to it.

You can also disable background apps and services for specific apps. To do this, go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps. Tap on the app that you want to disable background services for and then tap on Battery. Toggle off the switch for Background battery usage.

Please note that disabling background apps and services can affect the functionality of some apps. For example, if you disable background services for a music streaming app, you may not be able to keep your music playing when you switch to another app.

5. Retry Pairing Quickly

Once pairing mode activated on a device, retry connecting within 2 minutes before the discoverable window expires.

Unpairing and re-pairing devices can help when dealing with Bluetooth pairing problems in a few ways:

• It can clear any corrupted data. Sometimes, Bluetooth pairing problems can be caused by corrupted data on one or both devices. By unpairing and re-pairing the devices, you can clear any corrupted data and start fresh.
• It can reset the pairing process. Sometimes, Bluetooth pairing problems can be caused by a problem with the pairing process. By unpairing and re-pairing the devices, you can reset the pairing process and try again.
• It can identify the cause of the problem. If you are having trouble pairing your Bluetooth devices, unpairing and re-pairing the devices can help you to identify the cause of the problem. If the devices pair successfully after unpairing and re-pairing, then you know that the problem was caused by something else, such as a conflict with another app or service.

To unpair and re-pair devices on the Vivo X90 Pro, follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Bluetooth.
3. Tap on the name of the device that you want to unpair.

6. Forget Old Devices

Forget old paired devices to free up slots for new connections if you’ve reached the maximum.

Forgetting old Bluetooth devices can help when dealing with Bluetooth pairing problems on the Vivo X90 Pro in a few ways:

• It can free up resources. When you pair a Bluetooth device with your phone, your phone stores information about the device, such as its name, address, and connection settings. This information can take up space on your phone’s memory. By forgetting old Bluetooth devices, you can free up this space.
• It can prevent conflicts. If you have a lot of Bluetooth devices paired with your phone, it is possible that they may conflict with each other. This can cause Bluetooth pairing problems. By forgetting old Bluetooth devices, you can reduce the chances of conflicts occurring.
• It can help to identify the cause of the problem. If you are having trouble pairing your Bluetooth devices, forgetting old Bluetooth devices can help you to identify the cause of the problem. If the devices pair successfully after forgetting old Bluetooth devices, then you know that the problem was caused by one of the old devices.
