Hey All, Quick question, does the pairing process for the BT20 have to be repeated everytime you turn it on/off. In this instance for the Iphone Xr, I always seems to have to:
-Power on both sides of the bt20
-Wait for them to sync to each other
-Forget the device in the buetooth setting on my Iphone - It wont pair otherwise
-Then pair to the TRN like it's the first time again

No, I haven't had to pair them since they were OOTB.

Are you sure when you turn them on you're not holding the buttons so long they go into pairing mode?

You only hold the power button long enough for them to say "power on". Then they connect to the phone and are ready go to.

Okay guys, I have already informed TRN to produce a short instructional video on how to pair and troubleshoot the new BT20S (aptX version). It will be in Chinese but I guess most of you can roughly figure it out yourself. After all, visual is always better than verbal. Ming will forward the video to me and I will post it on my YouTube channel.

Yeah, I hold the power button for the three seconds, Both Flash blue then one flashes red and blue. I'll wait for it to re-pair to phone but nothing. Then when I manually try to connect, I get "Connection Unsuccessful" and have to do the whole process as mentioned before.

Maybe I got a faulty one, bought from Amazon

Im seeing that they are offering a BT20 version with BT 5.0,

Is this the new one or just a shady vendor ?

Isn't this the vendor we shall not speak of here?

Same as Slater, I did not have to re-pair anything ...

I read somewhere a 15 second press on both buttons resets everything? This might help?

As for faulty ones, I only read about an early batch where one or both buttons had issues, but that does not seem to be your problem ...

Hope it gets sorted out, maybe with reset ... love my BT20!

Might get the BT20S just for the nano-coating / IPX ... am I correct to assume that AptX is not of much value for me when most of the time I connect to iPhone?

Correct, iPhone doesn’t support aptX because it doesn’t contain a Qualcomm CPU.

However, BT20S will have AAC, which iPhone does support.

Received 6 Core TRN cables today and they are very nice for the price. I have attached some pictures showing the original TRN cable and the 6 Core upgrade cable. The 6 core is thicker, has a chin slider and is not as long from the Y splitter to the connectors. These can still be purchased for around $5.00 and come in MMCX and .75 - 2 pin .

Do check out TRN 16-core cable for around US$12.

I've been watching for them on Ali and will grab some when available. I didn't like the colour combination of the 8 core but it appears the 16-core will be available in black. I will hopefully my x6 will arrive in a couple of weeks and I see you recommend the 16 core cable for them.

I am using **** 8-core tin-plated copper cable for my X6 right now. Never like any 16-core cables. Too thick and heavy.

Sounds like a phone issue then. Maybe a reset or update?
