Tips to Fix Bluetooth Connection Issue on OnePlus 11/11R

1. Check Bluetooth settings

The first step is to check if Bluetooth is turned on and properly connected to the device you want to connect to. If you’re having trouble connecting to a specific device, try moving closer to it or removing any objects that may interfere with the signal.

2. Restart the phone

This is the simplest way to fix Bluetooth issues. Just restart your phone, and this may solve the problem.

  • Press and hold the Power button until the Power menu appears.
  • Tap Restart.
  • Wait for your phone to restart.

3. Unpair and re-pair

If you are having trouble connecting to a particular device, try unpairing it and re-pairing it again. This can sometimes solve the issue.

  • Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
  • Find the device you want to unpair and tap on it.
  • Tap Forget.
  • To pair the device again, turn on Bluetooth and search for the device and connect.

Battery optimization can sometimes interfere with Bluetooth connectivity. Go to Settings > Battery > Advanced settings > Optimise battery usage > Bluetooth > Don’t optimise.
