    Just got my Bangle.JS 2 a few days ago. I'm unable to pair the watch to my Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS.

    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

    Edit: I am able to see it as a device consistently now by turning off Bluetooth and restarting the bangle, but still nothing happens when I select it for pairing in my Bluetooth settings.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • Are you using whitelist feature in settings of bangle?

    Some tips:
    Make sure you are disconnected from it on other devices/apps before trying others.
    Experiment with enabling pin and disabling pin, in watch settings
    Ensure whitelist in the watch settings is off for now.
    Use a default clock or long press and go to recovery menu and use Clean Boot, see if that helps.
    Toggle your bluetooth on and off on phone, unpair if already paired. Reinstall gadgetbridge, ensure it has correct permissions.
    Ensure programmable and connectable is set to true in watch settings.
    Ensure your watch has up to date firmware and apps. Try fresh install if haven't.
    Test if nrf DFU app detects your watch in dfu mode. (long press button, then release midway), it shows as DfuTarg
