Part of the problem is that I was an early (2007) adopter, so, at that point, there wasn't a definitive list and getting things to work with the phones was pretty much up to the user... I did a lot of tinkering including updating the bluetooth stack which was not even supposed to be possible at that time.

The pairing process was not that clear within the gs911 app.

It was necessary for me to leave the app, open bluetooth settings and re-scan for devices to get the Nexus to "see" the gs911. 

If the gs911 was previously "paired" it might be necessary to remove the previous pairing (in the same settings) and re-scan, then pair again.

During yesterday's tinkering I also encountered a gs911 "timeout" which could also be an issue if the pairing process takes a long time.

One other tip if you are not near the bike during this process, you can connect the gs911 to a USB charger to power it up and complete the connection and pairing process.

Hope that this information is of value.
