bluetooth error "an app is needed to connect this device"
I can connect Galaxy S10e to the car with bluetooth, but not to my earbuds. I had wiped my phone and reinstalled everything. After which, I can only connect my bluetooth to my car, not my ear buds. Why?

I finally figured it out. It turns out my work phone had paired to the earbuds and that was preventing my personal phone from connecting to the ear buds. Fixed now.

Maybe your earbuds require an application? I have several pair of wireless bone conducting earbuds, shokz, oladance, and the app is required for pairing.

They are earbuds from 1MORE. I tried downloading their app and I also tried the SmartThings app. Both required a connection through the bluetooth setting of the phone, which again said: I need an app. What app?
