bluetooth connection with G8/G8X

I have a LG G8 and a LG G8X both running android 10. I can pair my bluetooth headset with each. However, when I turn on my bluetooth headset, it will only connect with one of my devices. I have tried this with four different bluetooth headsets to no avail. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Many BT headphones and speakers will only connect to one device at a time. However I know that Bose QC2 and Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones can connect to two devices at a time.

How to resize active screen area / change height of screen?

I can't imagine you can do this without root: it's changing the way the display system works, so if Samsung haven't provided the option you'll surely need to be able to grant something system privileges in order to make that change, and that's what root does.

Thanks for your reply

If you know of a way to do this with root, is there any chance the permissions can be granted with ADB commands, as I know this works for some apps that require root.

Tablet not responding

I can now confirm that following the proceedure in the video above fixed the issue I had with the unresponsive Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016) T580 (10.1 inch).

I disconnected the battery ribbon cable, disconnected the screen ribbon cable, reconnected the screen ribbon cable then reconnected the battery ribbon cable. My original idea of simply disconnectingthe battery and reconnecting it to "break a software loop" did now work. I have no idea why it is necessary to do both cables. Something to do with how the screen ribbon cable is seated, perhaps. Perhaps somebody with more tech know how than me can explain what is going on. All I know is my tablet is now talking to me agaon.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanx for posting your solution......you are braver then i am. i would have never attempted to open things up like that.

Apps How to debug USB OTG application?

The adb command has a tcpip mode. I've used it and it works, but when I plug the USB OTG device in I stop getting logcat output. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but maybe you can figure it out.

Code:
(base) puff@rockyraccoon:~/$ adb devices
List of devices attached
015629628541c1c8    device

(base) puff@rockyraccoon:~/$ adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 5555
(base) puff@rockyraccoon:~/$ adb connect 192.168.66.27
connected to 192.168.66.27:5555
(base) puff@rockyraccoon:~/$ adb devices

USB comms between Tablet and Ubuntu PC Exception

I'm still learning about this myself, but to use USB you need to make a permission popup happen and the user has to grant permission. Everything I've read so far says there's no way to skip that. Since you're seeing a SecurityException, my guess is that's what you're running into.

To make this happen, you need to set up the app configuration right, and in your code you have to create an Intent that asks for "com.android.example.USB_PERMISSION", call UsbManager.requestPermission() with it, and have a BroadcastReceiver ready to receive the permission response and use it to set up the USB connection.

See these links:

If you've managed to figure this out since you posted this question, I'd appreciate some advice.
