Since the upgrade to Android 6 I’m experiencing lots of problems with Bluetooth connections on my FP2, mostly:
- A TomTom device that was not able to detect the FP2 anymore (a lot of toggling BT on/off and clearing BT caches finally solved it)
- My Fitbit Blaze smartwatch that constantly stops synchronising with my FP2. By having FP2 ‘forget’ the BT-connection, it sometimes re-establishes the BT connection with the smartwatch, but only for 1 synchronisation. What’s even more interesting, that sometimes the smartwatch can synchronise with the FP2, but the smartwatch is NOT shown in the list of paired BT devices. That’s scary!
I’ve cleared caches of Bluetooth sharing and Fitbit app a zillion times. Location services are running (I know this is required for BT in Android 6). Also uninstalled the Fitbit app, reconnected it with the smartwatch, and then it synchronises 1 time… I’ve also found a “reset network” option that promised to reset all BT connections. But nothing has helped. I love the new Android 6, but I really also like my smartwatch to be able to synchronise and receive notifications.
Before you refer me to Fitbit: with Android 5 I had NO problems at all. So it must be related to Android 6.
Is there anything else I could try? I really don’t want to factory reset the phone. What’s more, why would that help while using the “Reset network” option has NOT helped? Could I downgrade back to Android 5–if so, how?
