Bluetooth - Paired but can't connect

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi!

I just wanted to add that I have the same problem.
RPi 4 (4GB) freshly set up with Moode 7.3.
Trying to connect from Pixel 3a. Pairing works, but it never connects.

Hopefully, I'll find some time to hack around this weekend.

You'll need to provide more information.

My Pixel 3a (up-to-date Android 11) connects without any issues. 

I did the following steps with a fresh install of moOde 7.3 and using the internal Bluetooth transceiver (this on an RPi3A which was handy but I've never seen any difference on a RPi4B).

In moOde's Audio Config screen

1) enabled Bluetooth renderer
2) enabled Pairing agent

On my Pixel 3a

1) settings -> Connected devices -> "+ Pair new device"
2) selected my moOde player Bluetooth renderer when it showed up
3) in the "Pair with..." popup, selected "Pair" without allowing access to contacts and call history.


Now in the Pixel 3a Connected devices screen I see my moOde player marked as Active under "MEDIA DEVICES". As well, the moOde UI now displays a "Bluetooth active: Pixel 3a"  overlay.

Code:

pi@moode73-3a:~ $ sudo /var/www/command/bt.sh -p
** Paired devices

** 58:CB:52:90:F0:74 Pixel 3a

pi@moode73-3a:~ $ sudo /var/www/command/bt.sh -c
** Connected devices

** 58:CB:52:90:F0:74 Pixel 3a
