3GS doesn't fit into iPhone Bluetooth Headset cradle?

Just got my first iPhone, the 3GS. However, I already own the iPhone Bluetooth headset, which comes with a cradle that it supposed to accommodate the bluetooth and the iPhone. Since the new 3GS supposedly has the same dimensions as previous phones, it should fit, right?
I tried putting the 3GS into the cradle and the latter was a tiny bit too small. The phone almost fit in the port but didn't, and I didn't want to force it. Anyone know if it's supposed to fit?

It is not supposed to fit, and murray65 is correct - Apple never made a dual dock for the iPhone 3G, and in fact, early this year they discontinued the Apple Bluetooth Headset. You can either just use the travel cable to charge both devices, or you can use a Dremel (or carton knife, etc.) to widen the opening in the dock for the iPhone to accommodate the slightly larger and more rounded iPhone 3GS. See the last few posts in this thread for some links to pics of the process.

  • 3GS doesn't work correctly with Bluetooth headset?

    Why won't my husband's 3GS work correctly with Bluetooth headset? I have a 4S, and I bought a Plantronics 903  Bluetooth headset, and it plays music great out of headset, but when I tried to do that with my husband's 3GS, only one earpiece plays?

  • Is my iPhone 3GS compatible with a Plantronics 975V2 Bluetooth headset?

    Is my iPhone 3GS compatible with a Plantronics 975V2 Bluetooth headset?

    I resolved it. I had to put the Jawbone into 'pairing' mode, by holding down the Jawbone it two different places. So it is compatible.

  • Charging iPhone Bluetooth Headset while cable plugged into 3G Dock

    Can anyone tell me why the charge indicator on the iPhone Bluetooth Headset turns off when I plug the cable into the iPhone 3G Dock? Is it still charging?

  • Will iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases?  Any difference in size/Controls?

    Will the iPhone 3Gs fit into iPhone 3G cases? Any difference in size/Controls?

    I purchased an incase slider before my 32 GB 3GS arrived. When I put the phone in it today, it was so incredibly tight that I almost couldn't get the phone back out of it. I called the incase company and they said that despite Apple's claims that the phones are identical it is possible that the 32 GB phone is slightly thicker and is causing problems with certain slider cases. Incase is nice enough to send me a replacement (even though I bought from apple store online) when they have verified that their cases fit the new phones. My previous iPhone was a 2G so I could not tell if the new case would have fit the 3G. I guess, try before you buy.

  • Charger cord suddenly not fitting into iPhone

    Hi just wondering why the white cord that connects your iPhone to the computer/or wall plug, suddenly doesn't fit into my iPhone? It goes in far enough to charge, but I can still see at least 3mm of silver in between the cord and the phone. AND one side goes in futher than the other. What's going on inside my iPhone !? No matter how hard I push it, the cord doesn't click in like it should. I haven't dropped the phone or done anything out of the ordinary. FYI I have the iPhone 3G, not 3GS.
    Thanks for your help in advance! If no one has any thoughts, I'll just take it to an Apple store to get looked at.
    Thanks again

    In dealing with many many iPhones and all kinds of various problems it honestly sounds like something is stuck in the 30 pin dock connector. I have seen pocket lint cause this, heck I have even found a staple inside of the connector preventing the cable from connecting in all the way. Please take a flash light and look inside of the connector. Clean it out with a brush (small never used paint brush works really well). Please let me know if it works.

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset - after five months in the backyard

    About five months ago I lost my iPhone Bluetooth headset. This headset is so small and slippery that I'd almost lost it several times. This time I searched everywhere, but no luck. Well, this week we were dog-sitting for friends, and this dog loves to fetch. I left her outside when I went to work, and when I came home I walked into the backyard and looked down at a small black object just beyond the patio. I recognized my headset right away -- she must have found it in the yard or garden. After I cleaned off the dirt, it looked like new. I let it air out overnight and then charged it up. Despite five months of sprinklers, rain, and dirt, it works like new.
    I've dropped my iPhone enough to know how tough it is, but ounce for ounce, this headset is even tougher.

    Shelly,
    The new bluetooth headset from Apple will not play music at all. Mono bluetooth headsets aren't designed for said purpose. The format for doing so is called A2DP and it is currently not available on the iPhone. But there is a good chance that this might be remedied in a future software update.
    Hope that helps!!!

  • IPhone Bluetooth Headset - looking for ear plugs?

    I just bought the iPhone Bluetooth Headset. I like it. I had the jawbone (which is also very nice), but I am pretty sure the Apple headset will suite my style much better.
    One problem I have is getting it to stay in my ear (horizontal, i.e parallel to the ground) and not fall down. It seems to fit better in my left ear than in my right but still seems to wobble downward on occasion.
    Is there some kind of rubber ear plug that can be added to the iphone that might make it fit my ear better? Thanks for any ideas.

    The same thing was happening to me when I first got it.
    As soon as I put the earbud pad covering on the earpiece that comes with the headset the headset fit perfectly and is very stable.
    For replacement earbud pads:

    Hello Joolader. Posted below is an Article that seems based on what it is your doing. I have also posted a couple other articles along with Damon's, As well as some additional troubleshooting steps.
    iPhone and iPhone Bluetooth Headset: About auto-pairing http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305665

    How to pair iPhone Bluetooth Headset http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305664
    Additional Troubleshooting.
    1. Turn iPhone off then back on. Simply hold down the Sleep/Wake button and slide to power off, When the screen turns dark. Press the Sleep/Wake Button for 3 seconds till you see an Apple Logo. Once the iPhone boots backup, Now try Bluetooth again.
    2. Reboot the iPhone. Press Sleep/Wake and Home button together, Let go once you see Apple Logo. iPhone will Reboot and come back, Now test Bluetooth
    3.Go to Settings- Toggle Airport Mode on, Then Off, Retest Bluetooth
    4.Go to Settings- General-Reset-Reset Network Settings, Retest Bluetooth
    5. Now that we covered all the basic settings without touching data. If you still can not get Bluetooth to work try the last couple steps.
    6. Find another Bluetooth headset see if the iPhone sees it.
    7.Backup your Data, Restore iPhone, Test Bluetooth
    If this all fails. Take your iPhone and Bluetooth headset to an Apple Retail store, Where they can attempt a couple more last min troubleshooting steps on iPhone.
    If another Bluetooth works with your iPhone then you had a Bluetooth headset issue. But taking your Bluetooth headset into Apple Retail will allow them to test it on other iPhones to rule out an issue with your hardware.
    Please book an appointment at your local store before going in.

  • My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad.

    My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?

    Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
    You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.

Before iLire11 I was easily able to share photos with email messages.  Arghhhh!

    In the iPhoto preferences you can set Apple Mail as your e-mail client and then it will work exactly as before

  • Is the iPhone bluetooth headset out?

    hi guys, i cant find any info about the iphone bluetooth headset other than on the online store, is it out in stores? has anyone got one?

    Our local Apple store has had it since the same
    day
    as the iPHone release.
    I don't use bluetooth headsets so I can't give you
    a
    review, but I am sure others will. Also, do a
    search
    of this forum for Bluetooth Headset
    This is likely a third party headset, not the
    official Apple Bluetooth headset.
    Without a doubt...but I'd love to hear the location of the store where they've been released! ;D

  • IPhone bluetooth headset charging

    I'm curious how the dual dock charges the iPhone bluetooth headset. It looks like the area where the microphone is on the headset is also the charging contacts. Is that so?

  • Iphone bluetooth headset stops bluetooth keyboard from connecting

    has anyone else had a problem using an iphone bluetooth headset in close proximity to an bluetooth keyboard? If i wake up or boot up my macbook pro when my headset is switched on and close by, the keyboard will not connect to the mac! any ideas anyone please?

    Hi.
    I have found that having my WiFi on at the same time I try to pair with my Plantronics 925 prevents me from hooking up. If you have WiFi you may want to turn it off why you pair. Once paired you can then turn your WiFi back on with no problems.
