I have the same problem, but in addition to the Bluetooth connection problems, choosing the Wifi option crashes the android app (after having entered the key). The Bluetooth status icon changes color upon attempting a connection, and in general I do not have problems related to Bluetooth. Linux Mint 19 Kernel: 4.15.0-34-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP LibreOffice version: 6.0.6.2 Build-ID: 1:6.0.6-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Linux 4.15; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: gtk3; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group Android app version 2.2.3 from F-Droid.org Android 8.0.0 with Kernel 3.18.91-13895453-QB19639589 Samsung Galaxy S7
I can confirm that I am also having this issue running version 2.3 of the remote on Android and Linux Mint 19.1. Device is properly paired via bluetooth with the computer, but it fails to actually complete the connection. I am unable to connect via wifi, too. I was able to connect on a windows PC, but even then there was no image of the slides, just the ability to go left and right. It's a shame, because this was a great feature.

The same issue here. No other technical comment to add.
Thank you for reporting the bug. it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Hello everyone. I'm able to confirm the issue with the latest version of Impress Remote - version 2.3 - on my Android phone (OnePlus 6T with Android 9). I tested with the app available from the Play Store and the version available via F-Droid. I am using LibreOffice 6.3 on my Arch Linux laptop. While the Wifi connectivity works flawlessly, the app is not connecting via Bluetooth. Also, please add the version 2.3.0 in the drop down menu, here, on BugZilla. Thanks! :)
Created attachment 154963 [details] patch to fix bluetooth connectivity bug Hi, at the behest of William I had a go at this bug and it seems (hopefully) that it was a simple problem, here is my patch with an explanation of the problem in the commit message. This works for me at least, I can connect to my laptop now and change slides and all the rest of it. Since Android version 6.0 one needs ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in order to find nearby Bluetooth devices, as a security measure. (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id) This means (I think) that any Android version before 6.0 should still work fine, although I have no way of confirming this. Also I don't know if one needs to explicitly request permissions inside the app? I did that while debugging, but now I only added a permission request in the manifest file, and it seems to work.
Fixed with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/80723/ - thx a lot rptr!
The problem may still persist for Linux-LibreOffice users. I am using the recent Impress Remote release and LibreOffice 6.2.
