[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerdy_McGee:
Hello everyone, I bought a new 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, it has the 8.4N Uconnect system installed.

I can connect with bluetooth with any other devices, and everything works properly....EXCEPT my phone which is a:

Samsung Galaxy S4

Branded by Fido in Canada

It is rooted, still using the default rom that came with it, but I'm running Nova Settings instead of Touchwiz

SGH-I337M

Android 4.4.2

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my car, I goto Phone/Bluetooth settings, have option to change PIN to anything I like but left it at '0000'

On my phone I goto Bluetooth, turn it on, make it visible, hit scan......it finds UCONNECT

I press on it to connect and THEN.......

On the car:

if it is the first time trying since reboot, you can see the passcode show up (six digits - 3 digits a space and then 3 more) and an ACCEPT button. This immediately disappears and it says 'There was a problem connecting with your bluetooth device. Please try again'

If it is not the first attempt after a reboot of phone, it just blinks that first screen showing the weird seperated 6 digit pin and immediatley goes to the error messager.

On the phone:

When it finds UCONNECT and u choose it, a message pops up saying to confirm the passkey and press OK or CANCEL.

It always shows a random 6 digit number.

At the same time, a system message appears for a couple seconds at the bottom of the phone that says 'Incorrect PIN or Passkey. Please try again'

Pressing OK or CANCEL just returns you to the bluetooth scanning screen which shows UCONNECT as an option.

If i try to set the pin on the car with what was shown in the phone, it doesn't work as each attempt to connect generates a random pin on the phone.

I have restarted phone, car etc. Reset car radio completely. Removed all devices remembered on the phones bluetooth. Checked with UConnect support that my phone is compatible -- they say that it might be that Fido in Canada has done something to the phone to prevent it to connect to cars, as it works fine with Verizon/At&T/ and apparently people on Rogers in Canada with S4 works too.

I have commented out the blacklist entries on the phone in /etc/bluetooth/auto_pair_devlist.conf - no change

I have removed all files in /etc/bluetooth - no change

Other phones connect to Uconnect with no problems.

My phone connect to my TV and a bluetooth receiver connected to my home stereo and a second TV different brand no problems.

This is my main phone, also my new car. It really sucks that I cannot get it to pair. Fido, Uconnect support can't help - they have never seen this issue before.

I don't understand why the car shows a pin of six digits with the space between the two groups of 3.

Also, why the phone says incorrect pin or passkey.

PLEASE HELP!! I am going crazy over this!

I really don't want to, but if there is no fix, I will have to backup everything, format the phone, install perhaps a Verizon or something build of Android and then try to connect with that (hoping it has no issues with phone/data use with Fido network over here)
