Windows 10: Can't confirm passkey when pairing my phone...

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Razer Blade 15 2019 edition, and I've had no particular problems with Bluetooth until a month or two ago.

I'm trying to pair my phone with the "Your Phone" app so I can see my phone calls on my PC, but when I try to pair it, I get only the title bar of the window "pair device"

When I confirm the passkey on the phone, I have no way of confirming it on the computer, and so it refuses to pair...
I tried updating the drivers, I tried meddling with settings.



Also yes, I am on the Windows Insider program with the latest build if that is of any importance.

How can I fix this???

Pairing a phone to a car

One thing I would add ... There should be a list of paired devices on the phone, If so it would be best if you "UnPair" any devices listed on the phone as well as the phones shown on the Car. To Unpair a device from an Android Phone go to Settings, Bluetooth and there should be a list of paired devices - at the right of each paired device is a "Cog" icon click on this and click on the unpair option, repeat for any other unneeded devices.

Sometimes paired items get out of sync and both sides need to be removed to re-pair

 

Pairing a phone to a car

Remove the device from the cars Bluetooth list. Restart your phone. Go to the Bluetooth settings on the phone and set it to Pair. Set the cars Bluetooth to pair, they should find it each other.

 

Pairing 5233 via BT to two different Macs - asks for passkey everytime

I've paired my 5233 via Bluetooth to both home and work Macs (G4 & Intel). File browsing and transfer via Bluetooth File Exchange works flawlessy on both. However, when I connect to the other Mac, even while it's already on favorites and it shows on the
list, the phone asks for the passkey, as does the Mac. After this I can connect and disconnect as many times as I want from that Mac, no passkey needed anymore. However, if I now connect to the other Mac, it again asks for passkey, so I have to key it on both
phone and Mac. Again, I can connect and reconnect from that one without need for passkey... until I go to the other Mac, it again asks for it...



I never try to pair the phone to the two Macs at once.



I am curious why on the 'Paired Devices' list on the Bluetooth menu on the phone there is only *one* device, the computer, and no matter what shortname I set when connected to any one of the two Macs, theres only one, shouldn't there be 2 devices there on
the list, the individual work and home machines? I've set them as 'Authorized', both on the phone and on the Macs, why does it keep asking for the passkey when I change from one machine to the other? Any ideas? TIA!
