If your RealMe 16 keeps dropping Wi Fi connections or fails to connect to Bluetooth devices, the problem is often caused by corrupted network settings. This can happen after system updates, switching routers, or pairing with too many devices over time. Resetting Wi Fi and Bluetooth settings clears saved networks and connections, giving your phone a clean slate to reconnect properly.
Why Resetting Wi Fi and Bluetooth Helps
Resetting these settings removes old Wi Fi passwords and Bluetooth pairings that may be causing conflicts.
It also refreshes background network services, which can fix connection bugs that basic toggling cannot.
Reset Wi Fi and Bluetooth Settings
Before you proceed, keep in mind that this will delete saved Wi Fi networks and paired Bluetooth devices. You will need to reconnect to them again after the reset.
- Open Settings, and then tap Additional settings.
- Tap Back up and reset, and then tap Reset phone.
- Select Reset Wi Fi Bluetooth and mobile data, and then tap Reset settings.
- Enter your lock screen password, and then tap Reset settings again to confirm.
Once the reset is complete, your RealMe 16 will automatically restart its network services. Turn Wi Fi and Bluetooth back on, then reconnect to your networks and devices.
Resetting Wi Fi and Bluetooth settings is a safe and effective fix when connections become unreliable. It does not delete apps or personal data, but it often restores stable connectivity right away.
FAQs
Will resetting Wi Fi and Bluetooth delete my files or apps?
No. This reset only affects network related settings. Your photos, apps, and personal files remain untouched.
Why do I need to re pair Bluetooth devices after the reset?
All Bluetooth pairings are erased during the reset. This prevents old or corrupted connections from causing issues again.
When should I reset network settings instead of restarting the phone?
If restarting does not fix Wi Fi or Bluetooth problems, a settings reset is the next logical step. It clears deeper connection issues that a reboot cannot resolve.
