As a tech support person, I see this question all the time! The "forget this device" feature is actually a security measure - it ensures that if someone else gets your device, they can't automatically reconnect to your accessories.

Here's my step-by-step method that works 95% of the time:

1. On your main device (phone/computer): Go to Bluetooth settings and properly "forget" the device if you haven't already
2. On the peripheral device (headphones/speaker/etc.): Put it in pairing mode (usually involves holding power button for 5-10 seconds until lights flash)
3. On your main device: Scan for new devices and select the one you want to connect
4. If it fails: Turn Bluetooth off and on again on both devices, then repeat

Common issues: - Device not in pairing mode properly - Low battery on the peripheral device - Too many devices already paired to your phone - Physical distance too great during pairing

Sometimes you need to fully reset the peripheral device - check the manufacturer's website for specific reset instructions for your model.

As someone who's recovered contacts multiple times (I'm clumsy with the delete button!), here's what actually works:

If you had sync enabled with Google: 1. Open Google Contacts app or website 2. Click "Settings" → "Undo changes" 3. Select time frame (last hour, 7 days, 30 days) 4. Confirm restoration - this has saved me so many times!

If you didn't have sync enabled: 1. Check your call log - you might have recent numbers there 2. Check messaging apps like WhatsApp - they save contacts 3. Ask your carrier - some store basic contact info 4. Use professional software like Dr.Fone (paid but effective)

Prevention for next time: - Enable auto-sync with Google account - Regularly export contacts to a file - Use multiple backup methods

The Google Contacts "Undo changes" feature is literally magical - it has recovered my entire contact list twice when I accidentally deleted everything during phone cleanup!

With a fast DC charger, it should take around 30–35 minutes. On a home AC charger (7.2kW), expect ~6–7 hours for full charge.
