I crowdfunded the TrackR bravo device for locating lost items and now have a pack of 10 of them which won't connect to my HTC One M8 phone. I have managed to get them to connect to my ASUS tablet - but that isn't the desirable outcome. I am in constant contact with TrackR support but at present they cannot suggest a solution, and as they do work on the tablet it clearly isn't because they don't work. I have googled - with no result - so I'm here as a last resort to find out if anyone has a glimmer of an idea.
The phone is a stock HTC One M8 in the UK, unlocked and never locked to any supplier. It is running Android 5.0.1, HTC Sense 6.0, Software number 4.16.401.13.
In the apps section it shows 2 Bluetooth related apps - Bluetooth Share and Bluetooth Widget.
The TrackR bravo is a little device with an internal button battery which uses Bluetooth 4 LTE to coimmunicate to phones. It works by installing the TrackR app and locating and connecting to the device through that - bypassing the Bluetooth connection/pairing in the phone.
The app locates the devices but refuses to connect. The devices do show up in the list of available devices on the phone.
I have cleared caches and data as far as possible from the two Bluetooth apps. I have, I think, turned off the Safety lock security around trusted devices. Nothing works.
Does this ring any bells for anyone or does any trick suggest itself as worth a try.
