Hi.

I have the 5, upgrade from HTC which I never though I would leave.

Don't know how good a galaxy S9 is but it can't be much better than this, an amazing jump from the HTC :0)

My Bluetooth picks up my car and bathroom speaker fine.

When I try and hook up my forerunner 645 music the connection just isn't there.

At first I thought it was the phone, then I imagined it was the 645, now...I just don't know.

When my Bluetooth is on (phone) it shows as 'Disconnected' in the menu system even though the bathroom speaker connects!

I've read that the pairing on a forerunner 645 can be weak but you would imagine it would work sometimes.

It says 'waiting for phone' on the watch but the watch doesn't show up after a phone-reboot.

Have tried all I know and am stuck.

Could it be the watch?

Can you guys can help?

Thanks for your time in advance, ste.

Please mention your current rom, latest betas and stables have improved bluetooth functionality. I don't have problems on several cars, headsets and Smartwatch...

Unsure of the Forerunner 645 Music right now.

Have attached a screenshot of what I think the info is that you wanted.

Hope I got the right stuff.

I'm pretty sure my phone is up to date.

It picks up other Bluetooth, just not the watch, it's very patchy, that's what makes me think it's the watch and not the phone.

What do you reckon? I'm not that technically minded unfortunately.

Cheers, ste :)

Ok, but I think I can be the watch itself. Do you connect with an app? Is this app excluded from battery optimization?
