How to re-connect with already paired devices on AndroidTV

by gravedagger

Hello, I have searched extensively and have not been able to come up with an answer to my problem, I have an AndroidTV with Android 9 on it.

I can pair my bluetooth headphones to it, no problem. But the issue starts happening the next time when I want to use the headphones with the TV, it seems that there is no option to initiate a connection from the TV to the paired device. When I go into the paired device options on the TV I only have two options - Rename or Unpair.

The only way to use the headphones is to unpair from the TV and restart the pairing process and then it will connect and work until the next time the TV or headphones are turned on and I'll have to do this entire thing again.

Is there a way to initiate a connection from within the TV itself or how do I get rid of this problem. Thanks!

Without unpair, you can press 'add device' and when it finds the device, press on it and it will connect without need to re-pair.

Yep this has happened to me for as long as I've had androidtv devices as well...
