Bluetooth headset dead?

Hi,
I bought the iphone bluetooth headset today and have connected it (and my iPhone 1.1.4) to the dual docking station, through the USB2.0 port to my PC.
But it appears completely dead
Should there be some kind of indication the headset is charging?
The manual mentions an amber light, but the is no light of any colour!
I've press the button on the top of the headset, but nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated - to save me an irritating trip back to the shop.
kind rgds,
Chris

I have a brand new Apple BT headset and I experience the same kind of issue. When connected to the travel cable, the BT headset is charging and shows an amber/green light.
When connected to the docking station, the headset powers off (iPhone is losing the connection) and no light appears.
Any idea?

    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.

    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.

  • Is there any way for 2 bluetooth headsets to participate in a FaceTime call on the same device?

    From what I can tell, one cannot use two Bluetooth headsets at the same time, using the built-in reciever. However, it seems as though one can transmit audio to 2 devices using the KOKKIA i10, but the deal breaker is: can one send audio using 2 headets? Is there some obscure version of the Kokkia that will reciever audio as well?

    It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
    As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

    How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

    I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.
    Hope this helps,

  • I am unable to use my bluetooth headset to record voice memos, is there a trick to this?

    I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ Bluetooth headset, I am unable to use it to record voice memos on my Iphone 4, using IOS 6.1.3.  The memos record fine when using the built-in mike but not the Bluetooth headset.  Does anyone have any insight or comments that might help resolve this situation?
    Thank you.

  • Play mp3 on bluetooth headset

    Just wanted to share this.
    Yesterday I bought a Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, it could not bluetooth mp3 songs from my iPhone 4 iOS5. It can only be used for making/answering calls. However, today I found out that the headset can also play Voice Memos. This gave me an idea on how to bluetooth the mp3 songs from the iPhone to the headset:
    Step 1 - Convert the mp3 file from Stereo to Mono (I used Audacity to accomplish this).
    Step 2 - Add the Mono mp3 file to the iTunes library in the PC (my iTunes version is 10.5.0.142).
    Step 3 - Sync the iPhone with iTunes.
    Step 4 - In iPhone, open the Voice Memos. The imported mp3 file will appear in the list.
    Step 5 - Turn the headset on (already paired with iPhone), then a 'speaker & bluetooth' icon will appear on top-left corner of the iPhone (see photos below).
    Step 6 - In the Voice Memos, click on the play button next to the name of the the mp3 file.
    Cheerio!

  • Ios 6.1.4 Phone calls not working from Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset

    I updated to 6.1.4 yesterday
    I use Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset.
    Music streaming is fine with the headset.
    Problem is it doesnt respond to any phone call or dial  commands.
    Tried it on another friends iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 it works
    Please help to solve as I depend on the bluetooth my work drives car a lot.
    Tq

    I don't think I can restore the back up from iCloud, because I did not back it up to iCloud before the update to OS 6.1.4.  I don't think this is related to voice samples because it seems to cut in and out, like Siri is not 'hearing' me, due to a problem with the microphone.
    Apple please help!

  • I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.

    I can record voice memos fine using the built-in iPhone 4 mic.  And my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) works fine when I leave messages on voice mail systems etc. when calling on the iPhone 4, so it appears my headset mic is fine.  I can also use voice activated dialing, although it fails miserably interpreting numbers.  However, I cannot record voice memos with my Bluetooth mic.   I just get barely audible static.  Any suggestions?   Thanks.

    Hello, did you ever get an answer to your question? I just picked up a Jawbone Era and using on an iPhone 4s running 5.0.1. Seems to work fine on regular calls, but not on the built in Voice memos application. It worked fine on my older Jawbone Icon, but haven't tested on the 4s or iOS 5.
    Thanks!

  • How do I pair my Bluetooth Headset with ThinkPad with Windows 7

    I have got a Plantronics explorer 210 bluetooth headset.  I was hoping to pair it with my lenovo E431 laptop running  Windows 7 .  However, I do not see any application that will allow me to pair the headset.  I do see an application to transfer files over bluetooth. I don't see bluetooth device in the system. Thought the specs say bluetooth should be present. 

    Look into tray menu or press the wireless-FN-button and see if has been deactivated...

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • Bluetooth Headset will not work following upgrade of PC desktop software

    Recently I updated my laptop with the latest desktop software in order to allow synchronization between Microsoft Office 2010 and my blackberry tour.
    The sync works!
    But now that I have upgraded, I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset.
    After syncing my phone to my PC over bluetooth, my bluetooth headset connects to the phone ok but when you try to use it no sound comes through either the headset ear piece or the phone.
    So if you try and dial a number, the phone rings where you are calling but you cannot hear the ringing or the person on the other end once they have answered it.
    To correct the problem you have to remove the battery from the phone.   Then once you replace the battery and wait 5 - 7 minutes for the phone to re-initialize the headset works just fine.   Until the next time you sync the phone with the laptop of course.   Then the headset stops working again.
    I have tried deleting all the bluetooth devices from the phone and re-connecting them.  Does not help.
    Anyone else seeing this problem?
    This is my 2nd blackberry.   My 1st was a Perl on T-Mobile. Never had a problem.   But this tour from verizon has be a problem from the start.    Think my next phone is likely to be anything but blackberry!

    Hello ralpha,
    I would suggest you back up your BlackBerry data and clear the Bluetooth Options database. Re-Pair your headset and try making calls again.
    KB10167 will show you how to clear individual databases.
    Let me know how you make out.
