having trouble with XApp

[LeesKeys]

I've read a couple of threads on the subject and I'm convinced I'm following the connection procedure correctly, but it's not working.

Equipment: Fujifilm X-T5 firmware version 3.41; Pixel 6 Pro (Android 16)

Here's what I'm doing

1. On the camera, press/hold Bluetooth button, select Bluetooth Pairing

2. Select "new device" in my Android bluetooth menu.

3. Select X-T5. Camera shows Pairing code. Codes on phone and camera match.

4. Press OK on camera to continue.

5. Within a couple of seconds, Press "Pair" on the phone screen.

It's my understanding that at this point, the pairing should be confirmed. However what happens on my camera is that pressing Pair on the camera does not close that screen; "Please confirm that this code is displayed on your smartphone" continues to display on my smart phone. My phone bluetooth says it is paired to the camera, and the X App is running in the background. After a couple of minutes, the Pairing screen on the camera tells me "no confirmation on you smartphone. Continue?"

It's similar to what happens to my XT-5 and Oneplus phone. For those of us with OnePlus/Oppo phones we get told the connection has been lost. So it might be another aspect of the problem, though so far at least it has looked like Samsung and Google phones were working OK.

Judging by the number of people who have problems after firmware updates, I find it difficult to understand why Fuji can't make it possible to downgrade. At least then you could back out of something nasty. 

Good luck.

I recently updated my Pixel 6 to a Pixel 10. Now no more connection issues. I'll never know why. Both phones were running Android 16.
