iPhone SE (2016) iPhone SE 2020 Bluetooth Issue

[silverhick]

I purchased an SE 2020 and have been loving it. Today I tried to pair with (2) different Bluetooth speakers and nothing showed up under my devices. I was able to pair my air pods successfully so I know Bluetooth is working. Does the new phone not support older protocols or something? Both of these speakers are 2-3 years old, one is running 4.2.

Anyone seeing anything similar or have and advice beyond rebooting, etc?

Ok, I ended up figuring this out. I didn't complete the process to pair the speaker. Once I did it worked. Mods feel free to delete thread.

Hi Silver,

I’ve got exactly that problem this morning! With a Sony sound bar, that normally is with my TV.

How do you complete the process for Paving Bluetooth devices? Sorry, Newby, no idea, normally I just hit Bluetooth and it works!

Regards
Martin

Brand new SE 2020. It won't connect my sony speaker nor my ear piece. Both these devices connected without any problems to my old 6s! I've reset the network numerous times. Rebooted the device and the phone several times. I have been able to connect my car, watch, other external speakers, and laptop to the new phone but the two devices that I really need, evade me. Hope someone out there has the answer before I send this thing back. Thanks
