Cannot connect to phone after 169 firmware update

Post by castlewalls » October 8th, 2020, 7:23 pm

I have tried many times but since the firware update I am not able to connect my phone to the PM5. I don't see an error, rather the app on the phone says its "connecting"
then "detected 1 wireless PM" for a while then it flips back to "please connect PM".

i ave tried many times over several days. restarted my phone many times.

I had no issues updating the firmware, and I verified in "product ID" it notes firmware 169 for product id 633.

suggestions?

Thank you, with the help from that thread I got it working.

I had the same problem with my Galaxy S8.
problem is now solved.

My sequence.
==================
deleted the Bluetooth data per the noted work around. no phone reboot.
same problem.
rebooted the phone.
same problem.
unpaired the PM5. no phone reboot.
problem solved.

i was surprised I was still paired after I did the Bluetooth data purge, but i was just assuming the pair data was part of what would get purged.
