Troubleshoot issues related to Bluetooth on your device for the HTC 5G Hub
This article helps you troubleshoot Bluetooth issues on your HTC 5G Hub
You may have Bluetooth� issues if your HTC 5G Hub is unable to:
- Pair with a Bluetooth device
- Connect to a Bluetooth device
- Recognize a Bluetooth device
These steps help identify and resolve the underlying cause. After completing each step, test to see if the issue is fixed. If not, continue to the next step.
- Does your device you're pairing with support the same Bluetooth protocols as your HTC 5G Hub?
Refer to the Bluetooth device's user manual for compatibility.
Your HTC 5G Hub is compatible with Bluetooth v4.2 and supports the following profiles:
- Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
- Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
- Device Identification Profile (DI)
- Generic Audio/Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP)
- Generic Object Exchange Profile (GOEP)
- Health Device Profile (HDP)
- Hands-Free Profile (HFP)

- Headset Profile (HSP)
- Message Access Profile (MAP)
- Object Exchange Profile (OBEX)
- Object Push Profile (OPP)
- Personal Area Networking Profile (PAN)
- Serial Port Profile (SPP)
If the manual doesn't list any of these protocols, your HTC 5G Hub is unable to connect to that Bluetooth device.

- Is the Bluetooth device in range?
The Bluetooth communication range for most devices, including your HTC 5G Hub, is about 30 feet. Be sure your devices are in range.
