philsohn Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Bluetooth seems to work well on my Firehawk FX for audio play back. It always connects easily for streaming from the Firehawk app or any other iOS app. However, editing is a different story. The Firehawk app say "Device Not Connected" at the bottom even when it is connected for music playback. I have read the Bluetooth FAQ. It suggests a 13 step process to follow. This is too much to go through every time I want to edit anything. I have 10 days to figure this out, or I am returning the Firehawk FX. I'd really love to get it working more reliably.

xmacvicar Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 What are you using? Android or iOS. I never have any connectivity issues with iOS. Sometimes, and very rarely I will have to turn bluetooth off on my phone, turn it back on - close the firehawk fx app and reopen it and its good to go.

mcbeddall Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 For me it's the same as mcvicar but I'm on android , Samsung s6. Sometimes I have to turn Bluetooth on and off to reset but apart from that it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCrain Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I've had this issue on iOS. Have to "forget" the device and reconnect. Pain in the ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedehead99 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Closing the app and reopening it usually works for me on ios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philsohn Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 I am on iOS. Closing and reopening the app rarely works. Forgetting the device and rebooting both, works but is a massive pain. I wonder if it is a defective Firehawk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Could potentially be interference from other bluetooth devices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is a defective Firehawk? Sorry I've just re-read my post and I don't think I was clear. I meant that I killed the program altogether by double pressing the home button then swiping the program up to end it, rather than just closing it by pressing the home button once to navigate away from it. Then when you start up the program again it asks you to sign in again. Either way, I agree that it's a right royal PITA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 80% seems to require restarting both the Firehawk and the iPad. I am guessing there is a shorter set of steps for the 80% case, but I havent figured them out.

Geetarhed Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 EASY fix for the multiple issues everyone seems to be having with Line 6 FIREHAWK FX, I reverted back to my BOSS GT100, no Bluetooth problems or issues, EASY editing and saving of tones and some good tone downloads using the Bosstone interface. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IggyPiggy Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Glitchy Bluetooth connectivity is a failing common to the model, not just your unit. Some people will insist it is something to do with your iOS or Android, but it is not. It is just a product that does not work all that well and probably could have used a whole lot more testing before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieCrain Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Sadly I have the exact same issue as the OP. Killing the app and logging in again fixes the issue, until the next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
