Hi, I am having trouble connecting my FP3 with a laptop via Bluetooth.
Both devices find each other and I get to the point where you have to approve the code on screen.
Problem:
First it seems to work, but then the connection gets disconnected automatically on the FP3 every time after a few seconds.
What’s also weird, that the laptop is listed as an “audio device” in the settings.
Specs Fairphone:
FP3+
/e/OS 4.4.1-a15…-official-FP3
21 October 2026
Android 15
Specs laptop:
Windows 11
Any ideas please?
That’s not new at all. I have this issue since I got my device five years (?) ago. It has never been different with a Windows PC, I have never been able to send or receive a file or something.
With my headphones it can happen that the connection is lost after a few seconds, but there I can try it again and then it’s stable.
With a second mobile it’s also not easy but you can get a working connection in several tries.
In the car it works mostly without a problem. But: this is an environment where not many sources of interference are active, it’s just the mobile and the car, nothing else around.
I made an issue 9 months ago but the problem is much older. A weak ago the status changed now to Open, whatever this could mean … (what was the status before???)
Yeah, totally weird. It keeps the bluetooth connection with my headphones active forever, even if I am not listening to something, but cuts the connection to a tablet or laptop within seconds.
