Hello.
So I went around a little collecting hints and stuff, and I don't know how to make it work.
1. I disconnect all other BT devices from my phone, turning BT off/on.
2. I'm resetting Charge 5 with 3 button pushes.
3. I'm initiating device pairing by app/linked/add device. Moving through all confirmations.
4. App requests PIN, device shows PIN.
5. Inputting PIN, App starts pairing.
6. Device swtiches to "Pairing" - "B" letter and blue circle progress.
7. In a few moments App reports: "Something went wrong. An error occured. Please try again. <Exit> <Try again>".
After that device is shown as paired in App, but device still shows unpaired status, wrong time, and date: March tenth 2024. It still insists pairing is required. Paired device in App can't sync.
Can anyone help with that?
PS: The weird thing - I can't include the date as it is, community higlights it with:
