Ledger Bluetooth Connection Failed | Pairing State, Phone Permission, and Device Prompt

When Ledger Bluetooth connection fails, answer the question by checking pairing state, phone permission, and the device prompt separately. Bluetooth issues often involve more than one layer, so the record should show which layer was checked.

Check whether the phone still has the pairing record

Start from the phone Bluetooth list and Ledger Wallet app state. The setup context in the phone connection guide shows where pairing belongs in the wider mobile flow.

Review permission before repeating the pairing step

Mobile Bluetooth, nearby-device permission, and app access should be reviewed before repeated attempts. If the phone sees the device but pairing does not settle, use the Bluetooth pairing guide to keep permission state and hardware prompt separate.

Use the hardware prompt as the final confirmation layer

The phone can request a connection, but the hardware screen still matters for confirmation. A cable or port issue is different from Bluetooth, so the USB environment check should only be used when the reader switches to USB.

Record one retry path

The final note should state pairing record, phone permission, app state, and device prompt. Avoid storing PINs, recovery phrase words, or screenshots of private setup material.
