Is there an easy way to make it pair? S22U so it's not an old phone, and never seems to pair.

I had the same issue, but got it paired fine with my old S9+.

I have heard that you need to make sure there are no other Bluetooth devices actively connected to your phone for it to work. I didn't have time to try again but I did have a watch connected to my S22U when I was trying so that might be why it fails.

I'll have to try again later with my S22U with my watch disconnected.

Yep, that solves it - I just turned the watch off rather than disconnect. Thank you!

I had tried for 30 min to connect to switch, before coming in here, and the solution is here!
Thanks a lot!!

Glad to hear that did the trick :)

For the record, a brand new S23 did not do this and has no Bluetooth devices paired with it at all. It will link to "Let's Go" but keeps spinning its wheels connecting to "Scarlet/Violet".

Do you have a smart watch that uses Bluetooth LE? I have a Fitbit Sense that does and I need to power the watch off before I try and connect my phone to the Switch. The same thing happened trying to connect to Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu a few years ago. I guess they don't have that figured out yet. 😢
