Hi @Anonymous User 

 

The NowTV stick doesn't offer any Bluetooth connectivity only WiFi.

 

Out of curiosity what are you trying to do over Bluetooth between your NowTV stick and your mobile phone ?

Hi @Anonymous User 

 

Do you mean using your mobile phone internet data with the stick ?

 

Then i believe this is done over wifi rather than Bluetooth by setting up a wifi hotspot on your phone.

 

Never done it before, but i would have thought you need to activate the wifi hotspot on your phone, then when you setup the stick select your phone's wifi hotspot information.

 

Just be aware when watching video content from the stick with your mobile data you could be using anywhere up to 2Gb per an hour as a rough guess.

 

So make sure you have plenty of phone data free.

I have the same issue. I believe it’s because it’s an iPhone connection we’re attempting. Android hotspots allow stable connections. I have attempted it off my other iPhone too and I’m facing the sane problem. I’m gonna buy a mini portable hotspot devices... hopefully that’ll solve my issue
