My new Paypal EMV Card Reader can not connect to my Samsung Note 4 or to my Samsung Tab 3.
The two devices properly pair with eachother but when I tap on the Paypal 2** icon on my Note 4, nothing happens. When connecting a bluetooth device with my phone, It usually greys out and reads "connecting..." but thats not the case with the emv reader. Absolutely nothing happens when tapped on the Paypal Icon in the Bluetooth Settings.
I've tried the following
Fully charged the EMV reader
Factory reset to the EMV Reader
Paired and UnPaired the devices
But still no luck, I think I may have received a faulty Chip Card Reader with a bad bluetooth.
please help

Did you try unintalling and then re-installing the PayPal Here app? That fixed a separate different problem I had when recent transcations wouldn't show on my phone; after re-installing the app they were showing.

Thank you so much DPCreations.
Un-installing and Re-installing the Paypal Here App fixed my bluetooth problem between the EMV Reader and Phone / Tablet.
thanks again
