Although it is not very recurrent, there are several users who have reported problems with the Bluetooth of Huawei and Honor phones on social networks and specialized forums, a brand owned by the former. Some of the testimonials mention that the Bluetooth does not connect or that it does not even work. To rule out that it is a problem related to the hardware of the device we will have to apply a series of methods that we will detail below.
Since the methods that we will explain are compatible with any version of EMUI (EMUI 8, 9, 10…), the steps that we will see below are applicable to all mobile phones of the brand. Huawei P10, P10 Lite, P8 Lite, P8, P20, P20 Lite, P30, P30 Pro, P30 Lite, Mate 20 Lite, Mate 20, Mate 10, Mate 10 Lite, Y3, Y5, Y6, Y7, Y9, Honor 8X, 9X, 10 Lite, 9 Lite, View 10, View 20, Honor 20, Honor 10 and a long etcetera.

Connect other Bluetooth devices or turn to another phone
Sometimes, it may be the case that the Bluetooth problem does not come from the phone, but from the device itself that we want to connect, be it a headset, an activity bracelet or speakers. Therefore, it is best to connect other devices to the phone.
If the problem persists, it is highly likely that it is a hardware failure. The only possible solution is to resort to a technical service (or follow the rest of the steps that we will explain below).
Delete the Bluetooth device and add it again
If the error has occurred overnight with a device that has already been previously synchronized, it is very likely that an address conflict has been generated. In this case the solution is to remove the device from the list of connected devices and add it again.
It is very important that the device that we want to connect to the phone is not connected to another smartphone during this process. After adding the device again, the problems should have disappeared completely.
Go to Developer Settings to see unnamed Bluetooth devices
In case the problem arises because the Bluetooth device does not appear in the list of available devices, the way to proceed is precisely to activate the identification of devices without names or with exposed MAC addresses.
For this we will have to previously activate the Development Settings, which can be enabled in Settings / System / About the phone by pressing a total of seven times on the Compilation number section, as we can see in the upper screenshot. To access these we will have to go back to System.
The last step will be to activate the option to Show Bluetooth devices without a name. Now we just have to go back to the Bluetooth menu and check the available devices again.
Reset network settings to fix Bluetooh on Huawei
Another option to fix the Bluetooth in Huawei if the previous ones have not worked correctly is to reset the Network Settings. We can do it through the System section; specifically in the Restoration section.
Finally we will select the Network Settings option and click on Reset. All settings related to WiFi, Bluetooth and mobile network will automatically be reset. For this reason we will have to add the devices again to synchronize them correctly.
Use the Bluetooth Pair app
Probably the most effective solution to bring the Bluetooth of an Honor or Huawei mobile back to life. It is an application that manages the Bluetooth connection independently of the traditional Android and EMUI management.
Once we have installed the application on our mobile phone we will have to provide the relevant Bluetooth permissions. The process to connect a device from this is similar to that of EMUI: all you have to do is click on the device you want to synchronize and then click on Pair.
If all goes well, the device will pair successfully with our phone. To connect it we will have to press copper Connect once it has finished synchronizing with the application.
Update EMUI to the latest version to fix possible errors
It may be the case that the problem comes from a failure with the latest EMUI update, the customization layer of Huawei and Honor. The best practice to solve the error in question is to update the phone again to a more recent version that has corrected the problem.
In case there is no more recent version, the only solution is to wait, or to carry out what we will explain next.
Or do a full system reset to fix errors
So is. The most drastic solution is to reset the phone completely through the EMUI Settings. We can resort to the Reset section within the System to proceed with it.
After clicking on Reset the phone, all the data, applications and settings made within the device will be permanently deleted. For this reason, it is recommended to make a backup copy through the homonymous section in Settings.
If the Bluetooth problem persists after a safe reset, it is a hardware problem. The solution? Use the official Huawei technical service.
