Bluetooth issue with FP6 and Denon Receiver

Help Fairphone 6
1

FP6 with latest e/os:

  • Bluetooth connection between FP6 and old LG Nexus smartphone: ok
  • Bluetooth connection between Denon AVC-X6700H and LG Nexus: ok
  • Bluetooth connection between Denon AVC-X6700H and FP6: not ok
    • Denon sees FP6 → pairing attempt times out
    • FP6 doesn’t see Denon at all

What could be the issue here?

Hi,

interesting issue!

I’m also using a Fairphone 6 (Android 16) and I have a Denon AVC-X4800H at home.
I haven’t tested Bluetooth between them yet, but I’d be happy to try and see if I can reproduce your pairing issue.

Might help to figure out if this is a broader Android 16 Bluetooth problem with Denon receivers.

Also, could you share a screenshot of your Developer Options related to Bluetooth (especially AVRCP version, A2DP settings, etc.)?
Would be interesting to compare configurations.

As a matter of fact, I have managed to get the pairing to work recently. I had to explicitely put the Denon into pairing/listening mode (don’t remember the exact name/step…). Then it worked. With the old LG Nexus, this didn’t seem to be necessary.
