NFC on SONY WH-CH710N works for me with the X10.
When Blueetooh is active on the device and I hold it to the headphone’s NFC logo, the phone vibrates shortly and then connects. Initial pairing was performed the “classic” way however. Haven’t tried that with NFC.
“Bluetooth Secure Simple Pairing” has to be active in the Sailfish NFC settings (just saying in case…).
Thanks for highlighting this @rtr2001, and also to everyone for your testing with various devices. I’ve logged this in our internal database and tagged it as tracked.
Unfortunately it can be very hard to handle the different implementations of many different devices, and this can also make addressing issues like this a challenge. I only mention it so as not to raise expectations. Nevertheless, if there’s progress to report on this I’ll do my best to report it back here.
NFC/BT pairing fails via NFC on X10III as well, but as opposed to the initial report there’s some signs of life.
With phone BT off, loudspeaker BT off, the two not yet paired, on NFC touch:
The phone vibrates.
NFC logger logs things ( I can extract and paste here, if useful).
Loudspeaker BT turns on.
Phone BT remains OFF.
No BT pairing whatsoever.
Regular BT pairing works.
Obviously when devices already paired, auto-connect allowed, the step 3 above turns the loudspeaker BT on => they connect - but I don’t think this is a side effect, not the actual use-case.
If by “working” you mean pairing then it does not work( BT pairing is not triggered). This is what I expect to happen through “BT Secure Simple Pairing”.
If you mean"connecting" previously paired devices, then it works (but that’s regular BT connection, NFC merely wakes the BT module of the loudspeaker).
Yes, that’s what i meant - because it was not clear if the pairing didn’t happen due to Bluetooth not turning on, or would not happen even if turned on.
I had no idea there was any point in repeatedly using the simple pairing (or rather the device expecting it), i thought it was just nice for the initial time.
