SquirrellyMama Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I've tried Googling this issue, but I'm not coming up with anything. I have used a pair of bluetooth headphones that I really like. They work, they are comfy, and inexpensive. Unfortunately, I lost them. Finally got around to buying a new pair. I connected them to my Chromebook, and after 5 seconds they disconnected. Tried again, same result. I tried connecting them to my phone, but it couldn't find them. I exchanged the headphones today. I connected it to my phone, and it worked perfectly. After an hour I connected it to my Chromebook. After 5 seconds they disconnected. Tried again, same result. Now, my phone can't find them. Like I said, I've used this exat same headphones with both my phone and my Chromebook in the past 6 months. I've tried restarting all of the devices, and turning the bluetooth off on one device while connecting to the other device. What is happening?

Mergath Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I'm not an expert when it comes to Chromebooks, but do you have Newblue enabled? Supposedly it fixes a lot of the glitches Chromebooks have with bluetooth pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now work with my phone again. I'll use my other pair (different brand for my Chromebook) until I figure out the issue. Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't have any advice, except to say that bluetooth is known to be pretty wonky. My phone occasionally forgets either my garmin watch or my headphones. Then it's a question of turning devices on/off, turning bluetooth on/off, telling phone to "forget" the accessory, then re-find it, telling accessory to forget the phone, then re-find it. It's crazy annoying and often times the fix just magically starts working 2-12 hours later. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
