Blue tooth speaker not picked up

[Thai3]

Got an Anker speaker, very good but only the android tablet finds it. Android phone and win 8.1 laptop can't pick it up. Always avoided blue tooth for connecting problems, but thought it had improved, any ideas?

Are you sure they are all on the same/latest bluetooth?

I mean for a start, WTF are you doing running Windows 8.1

Check power supply in your speakers.Update the Bluetooth on all your devices, update your drivers. If none of that works...i dunno

Dragonfly will be around to give you some more advice.....soon as his Windows boots up sometime tomorrow

It might be obvious, but make sure the Bluetooth on the 'Android phone and win 8.1 laptop' is turned on.

On Win 10, it's Settings>Bluetooth and other devices ... make sure it's turned on.

Also check Settings>Bluetooth>More Bluetooth Options> Options> check the box entitled Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC

Did the OP get his Bluetooth working?

[Thai3]

No not working, same android on tablet and phone works on one not the other although the phone links up to all tv's, bloody technology

It might be the same Android, but is it the same Bluetooth?

[Thai3]

it's not even the same forum any more , it should be backwards compatible surely?

"Should"........

Heheheh

Fatal mistake.

Disconnect the tablet's bluetooth, then connect it to one of either laptop or phone.

That's worth a try

So how on earth did he see a quote out of that, " maybe your blue tooth thinks you're a nice Guy " Yes I'm lying again Ant you called him something else.
