Bluetooth won't pair - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers

Bluetooth recognized the device but will not pair. The device is in pairing mode. The phone sees the device but when I tell it to connect it instantly says it cannot communicate with the device. I know the device works. I've had it successfully paired with another j3 and after trying to connect with this one unsuccessfully for an hour I connected to a nexus phone in under a minute. I no longer have the j3 it was paired with. I did a factory reset and returned it. I have tried rebooting the phone in safe mode removing any Bluetooth devices recognized and rebooting but nothing's changed.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Did you have update to the latest samsung update available ?

Hum.. that's strange... flash stock rom and do a full scan of your phone with an anti malware.

"Unknown Device"

I'm experiencing a weird problem with an O2 Atom Pure device.. Some weeks ago the device started acting weird: sound suddenly not working anymore.. So, we handed it in at the service center and just a few days back we received the handphone, all clean and working again..
So, back home, we connect the device to the PC to do a sync, and all we get is "USB Device Not Recognized". When checking the Device Manager, the USB device will show as "Unknown Device".. I've tried reinstalling ActiveSync, do a hard reset of the device, soft reset of the device, removing the "Unknown Device", rebooting and then trying again.. All without it doing any good..
Does anyone have any thoughts left? I'm lost.. I thought Atom didnt need any device drivers.. Well, my personal one at least doesnt Thanks in advance!
Ps: other devices are sync'ing fine..
Nobody any idea or suggestions?

make sure you're connected directly to USB and not via a hub, check for latest USB drivers, check your Antivirus is not blocking, download latest version activesync (4.5), check that the com port is available on PC.

[Q] LG G2 USB Not Recognized

Hi, background is this..
I have a D802-10C G2 that i rooted the stock 4.2.2 rom a while back using the post chinese method. Easy enough, all worked fine. no complaints. A couple of weeks ago i got offered the OTA 4.4 update, this failed due to the root. I then removed the root using the feature in super su. that seems to have worked as no apps or file managers etc could get root access. However, the OTA still wont work.
Now my problem is my phone will no longer be recognized by any operating system, on multiple computers. I have tried many ADB drivers, Windows 7 wont even detect the device, i've used every PC connect mode, USB debugging. However always the same result, it's as if i'm plugging in a blank usb cable into the computer. Nothing at all.
The only thing that does happen when i connect the phone to a computer is the phone starts to trickle charge. There is nothing detected in Device Manager in Windows 7 I've tried connecting in download mode, nothing. I've tried the LG support tool, PC sync. Nothing.
WiFi does connect to the PC suite fine BTW and other than that the phone is working perfectly. I've also tried connecting multiple usb cables on multiple ports.
I haven't been able to find a single case of the same problem in the week or so i've been looking. Hoping someone can help, i'm thinking i may have soft bricked my phone. I really do not think this is a driver issue.
Any help would be great. cheers

YOu can try checking the device manager or use other USB port on your phone.

The problem is not like the usual ones you will see about "computer not being able to see device" I don't think it's a driver or software issue, or if it is it's unlike any i have found in the weeks i've been searching the net for a solution. Here's why....
When i connect the phone to Windows 7 and 8 ( on 3 different computers) No hardware is detected, nothing in the Device Manager, no yellow question marks indicating 'Unknown Hardware'. Nothing, all it does is start trickle charging.
Now even with no ADB, or any driver at all installed, the computer should still detect the phone. Mine does not.
The same thing happens using OSX and Linux Mint 16 (again multiple computers) No devices or mounted or volumes shown at all. Linux terminal command "$ lsusb" does not list my hardware.
This is why i'm pretty much convinced that there is something wrong with the USB port on the phone. Because, if Linux can't see it then surely it's a hardware problem right?
The only other thing i can think of is, i have messed up the phones firmware while trying to unroot it? but only because the timing of all this is just too uncanny.
I think i'll have to suck it up and admit defeat here. Funny thing is the phone works perfectly and charges fine.
Stuck on 4.2 , with no ADB functionality. Perhaps i'll sell it cheap to someone who doesn't care.
Cheers for the reply mate.
Same problem here!
Only my G2 is not rooted, it is still on factory OS and recently updated to 4.4.2.
I have tried on several computers, different ports and no help.
On the first connection to a PC not connected before windows reports "USB device not recognized" problem.
After that every time I connect the phone to the same computer the phone itself only recognizes that it is using USB charging mode, it does not recognize the computer connection (known by the USB ison on android system tray) even with "Ask upon connection option checked".
Even when I manualy change the Android mode in Settings --> PC Connection from MTP to PTP or even LG software, nothing happens.
Definetly there seems to be a problem with the phone, but I don't beleive it's a software but a firmware problem.
Please help if anyone knows what to do.
same thing happened after installing T-mobile rom thrugh twrp. but my device boots into fastboot and i tryed falshing :
laf.img, boot.img, aboot.img, recovery.img, laf.img
but after reboot my LS980 dissapear from device manager and stucked on LG logo.
Dont know what to do now.
I'm no expert, but given there are a lot of them here and none have weighed in on this with any ideas for a fix, i'm going to assume it's a hardware problem.
Anyone else agree? Hardware problem not software?
Cheers
I guess that you already wiped everything right? Apart from that, i'll suggest you to go to some tech supp and ask them if they can verify that each pin of the micro usb is properly working.
Sorry for my english, hope it helps!

I will try to check the connector although i dont think that it is a hardware issue.
BTW I can enter the download mode after flashing the mentioned partitions and i can also enter the stock LG recovery but when i do the factory reset it keeps showing Factory reset processing ... for ever
It has happened to me the same thing :crying:, and is a problem with the boot.img, if by chance your G2 version 4.4.2 and the the 4.2.2 boot.img, goodbye.
The only solution is to take it to repair a service official, there will change you the card, with the consequent change of IMEI.quent change of IMEI.

I have some kinds of that problem, let try:
Settings -> General -> PC Connection -> Select USB connection method -> Media device (MTP) (or whatever)
Got this same issue after flashing cloudy g3 rom. Then later flashing dirty unicorns, which requires jelly bean baseband. But even restoring g3 and 24a baseband, still doesn't work. No pc tethering and no on the go usb. My usb port is basically charge only.

I also have the same problem.
It happened when I tried to backup info through LG PC Suite: the phone disconnected during the process, and now it's not recognized by any PC (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/lg-g2-recognized-windows-backup-t3155323).
Also found a description of the same problem here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/2urpnw/lg_g2_usb_only_charging_not_recognized_by_pc/ - no solutions, too.
Did anyone manage to fix this?

Cheers mate but yep I tried that and nothing changed
I'm in the same boat. Had this problem for a long while, almost had my guarantee expire so I had it fixed. Not sure what caused it, or what fixed it. But couple of weeks later I was transfering some files through the now working USB port and accidently touched the cable - the device lost connection mid-transfer and since then I was unable to use the USB to transfer files, or connect the device to anything but the charger..
Along comes the 5.1 OTA which I decide to install and mid-install there was an error and the device soft-bricked - I can't boot it, it shows the Android robot with a red traingle and exclamation mark and 'No command.' written under it, at which point it reboots after a couple of minutes.
I can access recovery and fastboot mode and excecuted a factory reset but to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix the USB so that I can reflash stock and make my device work again?
Also, any ideas if one could bypass the use of the USB port in fixing the softbrick would also be helpful.

Phone not detected by PC in adb/fastboot mode

Hi, I have strange problem with my OP2. Since some time when I connect my OP2 to PC it's only connected in charging mode. I've tried different methods to solve it: tried different cables, tried different computer, event wiped data & cache but nothing seems to work. It seems that it might have something with OOS 3.1 or eventually there is some hardware issue with my phone. Currently I'm on stock OOS 3.1 without root and on stock recovery. Is there any way to root my phone without possibility to connect it to PC in ADB/Fastboot mode? Or what else can I try to make phone to connect to PC in different mode than charging?

Connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc and go to device manager in your pc you will see a device listed as Kedacom USB device. Uninstall and delete the driver. Remove your device and connect it again.

Make sure you check your device in device manager. It should be listed as Kedacom USB device uninstall and delete the driver.

No I haven't found anything new. After update to 3.5.5 still same situation. I think this is some kind of hardware malfunction. Have you ever used charging cable other than shipped with phone? I think maybe using other cable damaged something with usb port in phone...
My phone is Xiaomi. My phone recently have been infected by viruses that destroyed some important apps like: Play Store, Google Play Services and etc. I turned it off and then, wiped all data of it. The first configuration is actually broken in the step "Connect in the MI Account", so i tried use fastboot to activate USB Debug and define home as the default and press home button through ADB. But in the first step... My computer not found it.
My Xiaomi is Redmi-2014819. I need a answer most fast possible.
Lg G6 with the same issues. Fast charge went crazy and think this has blown something inside. Only normal charging works.
No ADB, fastboot, download mode. Can't even connect to laptop or Mac to transfer files.
Had charger replaced but it's the phone I think.
Gonna replace charge port but don't think this will fix issue.
Anyone had any luck?

Samsung A5 (A-510M) PC does not recognize "failed to find /misc partition"

Hello:
First of all, excuse me, I'm using a translator because my English is not very good. I was using a custom rom and wanted to back to stock so I flashed the correct firmware for my model (A-510M ARO NOUGAT) via ODIN. The process ended and had no errors. When I turned on the phone and connected it to my pc and it does not recognize it, it only charges the battery. I tried to format from the recovery and it shows the message "failed to find / misc partition"
- I tried with other USB cables.
- I tested it with other USB ports.
- I've updated Samsung drivers.
- I tried the secret menu and it does not work.
- does not recognize the download mode either
- I can not use ODIN to reinstall the firmware.
- Samsung Kies does not recognize the phone.
- Does not recognize ADB mode
The truth is that I am desperate and I do not know what to do. I can not reinstall the firmware if the PC does not recognize it. If anyone knows a possible solution I am very grateful.
thanks to all
i came across your situation long ago. it is the pc that doesn't recognize your phone. try with different pc. also you can try to format using settings>backup & reset menu. I ended up resetting my pc in order to recognize my phone.

No worries. We don't have misc partition so it's normal.
FRP lock won't reset on firmware flash. You need to enter your google account on boot.
To disable frp lock before factory reset next time, either remove your google account from your phone, or disable screen lock before reset.
You can't flash new firmware from download mode if you are in frp lock.
