Bluetooth Not Working
Have some earbuds that I've paired before. Now they won't connect. I turn bluetooth on but nothing. Confirmed they weren't connected to other devices. I can turn it off in settings but quick settings shows bluetooth still on which doesn't make sense. Can pair perfectly with phone. Earbuds are Samsung Galaxy Buds +

There is definitely an issue going on because I click Forget Device and nothing happens. It would also be nice if there was an indicator showing it was trying to connect so i know it's doing something. Overall, Ithink an update broke something because the earbuds used to work great.

I have the exact same issue. I had connected my ps4 controller on the first day but after that it won't connect anymore. The Bluetooth doesn't even scan for devices and when I turn it off it stays on for some reason. The one thing I noticed is that using the quick action and then reseting the deck changes it but it doesn't fix the problem at all.
