Hi guys, it's moomoomania here. I have a question whether or not it is possible to pair my HTC M9 with my Nexus 9 via bluetooth for smart lock purposes ONLY (just like if I was to have an android watch -which I don't- to bypass my lockscreen). I've looked a million places and I have yet found an answer to my question.
I don't wish to pair it so I can tether internet access to my tablet; I just want to pair my android tablet with my android phone so I don't have to wait for my phone to see my face or do my pattern code.
If anyone has any knowledge or have successfully done it, let me know and I'll give you a huge thumbs up with my butt. Thank you!
you just need to pair them via bluetooth then uncheck "internet access" in the little settings box you can open with the gear icon.

Yes but everytime I do that, I am not able to connect it together. When I go into the Smart Lock settings, and try to apply my Nexus 9 as a trusted device for my M9, it always says "not connected" (at the "Choose device" tab). Do you have this problem or have successfully connected your tablet with your phone without a hitch?
EDIT: If I click the little smart lock notification, it says "Add trusted device? Connect your M9 to keep your phone unlocked". There is only a cancel button.

actually I have the same problem. :') it's been a problem since I updated my phone to lollipop, it was fine before. I think it's probably an AOSP bug since nothing I've ever done has been able to fix it. I wish I had more to add, maybe someone else can chime in.

Anyone know how to enable "Find My Mobile" on the GT10.1? When i check the box for Remote Controls, it pops up a ID/Password box but I'm only able to enter the password portion. Entering any password whether correct or not gives a "Processing failed" message.
On samsungdive, my account login works just fine.
has anyone been successful?
I'm able to log in at the settings page but I don't know where to go on Samsung's web site to track my phone.

So when you enable "Remote Control", do you get a popup window for ID/Password? If so, can you enter both ID and Password or just Password?

I saw that in your original post but it looked like an autocorrect error. What an odd domain name.
Anyway, I was able to log in. Here are the results...
- Find my mobile: Worked perfectly. Saw my exact location. The Satellite overlay showed the building and my exact location within the building where my Tab is located.
- Track my Mobile: I didn't try it. Assuming that it could find me perfectly I expect it could also track me.
- Ring my Mobile: Mixed results. Yes, it rang my Tab and yes, it played a sound even though I had muted the Tab. However, it played a single "bong" (is that the default ring tone?) only once. It never repeated for the entire minute as promised. If I had lost the Tab and was trying to find it in some other room I'd be very disappointed. My advice, keep the other "find my device" software installed that plays a siren.
- Lock my mobile: Works perfectly. I was using the Tab in an unlocked state and it locked the Tab using the background of the regular lock screen. This is important to me because on the regular lock screen I have my contact information. It asks for the pin that I entered on the SamsungDive site and then unlocked the device.
- Wipe my mobile: Didn't try it. For obvious reasons. But considering everything else worked, I'm going to take a leap of faith and assume this works also.
I'd say I'm 80% satisfied.
Good to hear that it should work. Bad for me that it doesn't.
Anyone else have the same problem as I?
tried Samsung DIVE yesterday and today and it didnt work with the Tab 10.1
it worked fine with my Galaxy S II though
I'm in EXACTLY the same boat as flintdragon, to the letter.
looks like a long dead thread but I thought I would add the current samsung site info
as of 7/7/2013 you can log in to the samsung account site that has things like find my mobile here:::

Recently when I try to connect my S3 to my TV via my dongle it gets to the 'connecting' screen then I get an alert on my phone saying 'Screen Mirroring Has Been Disabled'.
It could have coincided with the recent update but I can't be sure.
I done a Google search but found nothing relating to this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have also got this issue. I discovered it after I had the initial poor 4.3 upgrade. I have now had the bug fix 4.3 upgrade and still have the problem.
Can you check Device status (About device -> status). It it's not "official", it won't work.

I have checked the status and it is "official". It is very strange as the dongle and the phone recognise each other and start to connect but then the disabled message appears and mirroring is switched off.

My S3 status is "Official"
I have just upgraded to 4.3 and screen mirroring now also does exactly the above with the PTV300)
The "Allshare Cast" option in 4.1 has disappeared as has the widget I used to use.
It is REALLY irritating! ((

I can confirm that doing a reset "Settings ... etc" (after doing a backup of course!) results in screen mirroring working OK.
Pretty pathetic that I had to zap my S3 to make it work.
This worked for me

Hello everyone i hope someone can help me. I rooted my Kindle Fire HDX using KFHDX Tool Kit and it was successful. Afterwards i installed SUPERSU by way of the program itself and also disabled OTA. Now my problem happened after disabling OTA my silk browser will not work at all even though the WIFI is connected so i did a factory reset now when i power on my unit it keeps prompting me to choose a language even though i have already chosen one it will just keep going back to that screen. I was able to bypass it by tapping quickly on the screen and i was able to go to contacts and from there i am able to go to settings via the drop down menu. The problem is i cannot access home because when i press back it will just show home for a split second and then go back to the language menu even if i tried all the languages it wont let me use the tablet. Also i remember having paused the update before attempting to root. Now i cannot proceed to use my tablet at all. Can someone help me out with my predicament? I would really appreciate it, Thank you.

Happened to me as well, you need to get supersu installed and it'll stop doing it.

Im having another problem sometimes when i turn on my wifi my unit reboots itself.. It has happened a couple of times already.. any solution to this?

Go back to root tool. Enable ota updates. Register tablet. Disable ota. It keeps going to language because it can not contact amazon to set up. This exact thing happened to me. That's how I fixed it

...If you try and start Wifi and the device crashes/reboots, try turning on bluetooth prior to enabling wifi and see if that works...
hope it will work for you :good:

Thanks bro! I also seem to see that when my unit turns on the bluetooth icon appears beside the wifi indicator but when i go to settings > wireless and i check my bluetooth it is turned off LOL. Needed to turn it on and off for the icon to disappear. Anyways did the updates ever solved this problem? not really a biggie for me but it is nice if i can turn off my wifi.

Tried installing the APK, but won't install. Have you tired the mirrorlink functionality yourself?
I dont have V10 ... But i read in manuall that itvhave mirrorlink...i will post image.
Any luck?
zhingket, have you gotten anywhere with this? I saw instructions on a TMO site that don't make any sense as it talks about WiFi, but might be worth a shot...
MirrorLink
To share screen and sound from phone with car, follow these steps.
Turn on and connect to Wi-Fi.
From any home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings > Networks tab.
Tap Share & connect > Media server.
Select the Content sharing check box.
Tap YES.
I'm looking into a new deck and would love to utilize MirrorLink. Does anyone have actual experience with making it work? (Not just reading about it).

Theres image.
No luck, the instructions from T-mobile manual is like miracast not the actual mirrorlink, I've seen that manual before. I wish I could install android auto on my CRV's head unit, like what I did on the car play (beta tester). Right now my work around is I bought an iphone 5s (Virgin mobile/Boost deal) activate on Ring Plus, and use car play, maybe down the road go back to Samsung which supports mirrorlink.
I'm having a similar issue on the Verizon V10 using my aftermarket Pioneer. The phone knows it's plugged into something, it asks if it should use mtp or ptp but the headunit never sees it. I wonder if it has to do with the Verizon installer that comes up when plugged into a computer. Does anyone know how to remove that function from the phone?
I can no longer activate the bluetooth of the watch. Strangely, it is still connected to the phone and everything works, but I can no longer connect my headphones and my cardio belt. Has anyone come across this problem before. is there a solution ?
Merci
Firmware update 4.2.3.0 don't change anything
https://youtu.be/TEBFZi0FCMM
Same problem. I can't pair phone with watch when I want using unlocking phone with Bluetooth.
Same problem, when I try to activate Bluetooth to pair it with my earphones, it says "Activating Bluetooth" and then "Bluetooth deactivated"
Same problem here. Can't pair with heart rate sensor (4.2.4.0 version). I send a mail to Amazfit, awaiting reply,
Same here, please see https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/amazfit-stratos-3-bluetooth-earphones-t4052503
Anyone knows how to fix this?
It seems new update 4.2.5.0 fixed this, i had to turn WiFI first (earlier nothing worked).

Can you please explain the steps? I'm unable to turn on wifi and therefore update the watch..
Hey,
i installed new update then tried to turn BT to check if it works now and it resulted in usual BT OFF, then i went to WiFi section, found my home network (had to type password in app) then i went back to bluetooth option and i was able to turn it on- i could find my HR belt in settings/accesories section of an activity.
edit, 02.04.2020:

Hi,
Can you try these steps?
Go to system Settings in the smartwatch.
Under Settings, scroll down list and tap "About."
Under "About," scroll down to "Legal Statement."
Continuously tap on "Legal Statement" until "Lab" appears below it.
Tap on "Lab" and select "Signal Strength."
Tap "Start." A Pass or Fail message will appear once the test is complete.

I've just done the test and it passed OK.
However, enabling Wifi does not change Bluetooth behavior (still changes back to Disconnected)

I've tried the wifi connection trick, and it doesn't work.
Also, did the lab signal Strength test, and it says Fail. But I am able to connect to wifi, and to pair with the phone.

It seems we are experiencing similar and related issues. Mine connects to the phone (using Bluetooth) but Bluetooth doesn't turn on (for earphones, etc.) and my wifi doesn't capture any network.
Already tried to factory reset several times and anything I can think of. Any suggestion is welcomed to try to fix this.
I will contact the Amazfit support again

Just to clarify, although the strength test fails for wifi, I am able to connect to a wifi using setting > connection > wifi.
Looking forward to see what they say to do. They told that I should contact my retailer to claim the warranty.

Not really.. The Amazfit support is not helpful.
I have installed the newest firmware using the instrucions on this forum but didn't fix it.
Found several people with the same issue in the forum but no fix..
Both bluetooth and wifi are not working for me. But I am able to connect to the app.
Hello, i have the same problem, see below the amazfit support answer
