For some reason the Galaxy Tab A9+ won't complete and keep a bluetooth connection to my Lenovo laptop that runs Windows 11 Home. I receive the pairing message on both devices and select OK. A connected message is displayed for about 10 seconds. After that a disconnect message is displayed for the tablet from the laptop. And on a related note, the tablet doesn't make a bluetooth connection to my Apple iPhone 15 device either.
On second thought, I don't need to make the bluetooth connection between the tablet and laptops after all. Since the reason I thought I needed to do this was for the purposes of transferring files wirelessly. I discovered I can make a successful "network storage" connections between the tablet and my networked PCs.
Still, something appears to be blocking bluetooth connections between Samsung and non-Samsung devices. Is it the devices hardware or divers is the question. As a test, I turned on my retired Samsung Galaxy A52 5G and it made a successful "paired" bluetooth connection.
