Bluetooth on Android as a whole can be finicky and troublesome for some people but there are a number of things we can try in an attempt to fix them. If you have the Google Pixel 7 or the Pixel 7 Pro and are having difficulty pairing your Bluetooth device to the smartphone then you should be aware of some troubleshooting steps.
Bluetooth issues are not isolated to the Pixel 7 series as these bugs pop up from time to time for virtually every single Android smartphone or tablet out there.
But if you’re having trouble connecting a Bluetooth device to your new Pixel phone. . .or maybe you’re just experiencing a poor Bluetooth connection with stutters, pauses, or skips, then try one of these suggestions as they can really help clear out the issue you’re having.
Reboot the Device
The first thing I want to recommend is that you turn the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro off, and then turn it back on. We can perform a standard reboot by bringing up the Power Menu and then tapping the Restart button when it appears. I understand that this step may seem useless, but I’ve seen this simple suggestion help hundreds of people over the years.
The best part with this suggestion is that it is really quick to perform and you’ll immediately know whether or not it worked by trying to pair your Bluetooth device with the phone when it boots back up.
Reset Network Connections
If that didn’t help, then the next thing that I would recommend is that you use a network reset feature that is built right into Android.
Using this feature will delete all of the saved WiFi Networks and Bluetooth devices that you have stored in the phone, so know that you will need to enter WiFi passwords in again before you’ll be able to connect to them again. But this troubleshooting steps is much better than having to perform a factory data reset.

Delete Bluetooth App Data
If you’re still struggling to connect the phone to a Bluetooth device then the next thing I can suggest is that you delete the app data associated with the Bluetooth application. This isn’t an application you’ll find in the App Drawer, but it is a system app that can be found within the Settings application.
And then from here you should be able to wipe the app cache as well as the application data for the Bluetooth application itself.
Developer Mode Options
I used to be able to recommend that people switch to an experimental Bluetooth stack for Android as troubleshooting step for Bluetooth connection issues. However with Android 13, this is no longer experimental and the work that Google has done to help fix Bluetooth on Android is the default option for everyone.
However, there are still a number of Bluetooth settings within the secret Developer Options menu. So if you’re still unable to pair your Pixel 7 to a Bluetooth device then I recommend enabling Developer Mode and trying out these additional options.
Factory Data Reset
The last thing that I’ll recommend here is that you perform a factory data reset in an attempt to fix any issues you may be experiencing with Bluetooth on the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro. I understand this is not something most people want to hear, but if you’ve tried all of the other suggestions then there is little else you can do.
Installing OTA updates can, in some rare cases, cause system-wide bugs to appear and Bluetooth pairing seems to be affected quite a lot when it comes to these types of bugs. Even if your phone is fresh from the factory, there could have been a hiccup during the firmware installation process that is causing this issue.
Just be sure to back up your important data ahead of time since you’ll need to restore that data after everything has been erased.
