[SOLVED] Cannot pair Bangle.js 2 with Gadgetbridge

Just got my Bangle.JS 2 yesterday. I'm having a similar issue, but I cannot even get my bangle to pair to my Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS. Reading this "solved" thread I'm not understanding what the resolution was.

OS and hardware:

• GrapheneOS on Pixel 7
  
• Ubuntu 23 on dell laptop
  
  • Asus USB-BT500 usb bluetooth adapter
    
    

Behavior and troubleshooting:

• Originally showed up as a device in GrapheneOS, and in Ubuntu on my laptop.
  
• It would not allow me to pair and load apps in brave(as said in the docs), but it does allow me to pair and load apps in ungoogled-chromium without any issues as long as the proper chrome flags are enabled
  
• After disconnecting from ubuntu I tried to pair with my pixel, originally it would show up and allow a pair, but not let me do anything with it, then it would show up as a pairable device, but not let me pair just does nothing when I tap on it. Now, sometimes it'll show up and sometimes it won't.
  
• Gadgetbridge does not see it even when my bluetooth does
  
• My work device, a macbook pro would not even see the device in bluetooth.
  
• It pairs without issue on my old Galaxy S10e, but says it needs an app for the device
  
• A lot of the time I have to quit settings, turn off bluetooth, open settings back up and turn it back on to see the device again in both Ubuntu and GrapheneOS
  
• I have never had any issues with any bluetooth devices on Graphene, or Ubuntu with my usb bluetooth adapter.
  
• I noticed at one point either on ubuntu or graphene when I selected my bangle the bluetooth symbol on the bangle would flash blue for a sec every time I selected the device to connect. I do not remember which device this was on and can't seem to reproduce it.
  
• I've factory reset my bangle once.
  
• I've tried using the gadgetbridge app from the playstore, aurora store, and F-droid
  
• I've tried connecting on my profile with google play services enabled and my profile that has google play services not installed
  
  

Any help would be appreciated
