This article helps you troubleshoot Bluetooth issues on your LG K30
You may have Bluetooth� issues if your LG K30 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 phone you're pairing with support the same Bluetooth protocols as your LG K30?
Refer to the Bluetooth device's user manual for compatibility.
Your LG K30 is compatible with Bluetooth v5.0 and supports the following profiles:
- Basic Imaging Profile (BIP)
- Calendar Tasks and Notes Profile (CTNP)
- Headset Profile (HSP)
- Hands-Free Profile (HFP)
- Object Push Profile (OPP)
- Generic Object Exchange Profile (GOEP)

- HID Over GATT Profile (HOGP)
