Bluetooth Headset / Earpiece Issues

My Jawbone bluetooth earpiece worked well with my original iPhone and 3GS but does not with the new iPhone 4. I heard bluetooth was an issue but I am only reading about tethering and phone to phone noncompatability. I heard it doesn't work with FaceTime either.
I just want to be able to use it with a phone call. It randomly drops and reconnects, etc. Very unreliable. I have had my phone since June and do not even carry my earpiece around with me anymore. Any info or news on this issue and a firmware update?

I've been having this same issue since I bought the iPhone 4. I'm really disappointed! I don't think I'll buy another iPhone for issues like this. I've spent a lot of money on the earpieces that I like to use and NONE of them give me good results with the phone.
I really would not expect an issue like this to go on for so long. This iteration of the iPhone has rendered my investments in high quality earpieces worthless pieces of junk.

Motorola Bluetooth headset delay issues..

Anyone has problems with delay answering with BT headset.. My Motorola BT pairs and I can make calls with no problems. But, for incoming calls..Wether i use the headset button or the slider in the iPhone, there is like a 10-13 seconds delay before I can hear the caller...Tried turning off wi-fi and it's still the same.

Here's a link to the QuickStart guide that would have come with the headset:
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/QG-H500_9494A56O.pdf
(It tells you how to put the headset into discoverable mode.)
Intel Mini 1.66 GHz, Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Vista and XP running under Parallels

No audio on paired Bluetooth headsets

Since the ICS update months ago, I have had Bluetooth headset audio issues. Trying both my original headset and a brand new headset, I can pair successfully. But neither headset has any audio - I cannot hear anything and no one can hear me. I have tried both headsets with another phone and both work great.
I have done multiple hard resets. Nothing helps. Any suggestions?

I also have a Bluetooth OBD II device to read status from my cars. It works just fine on multiple vehicles. It pairs and gives real time data without issue. So it's not a Bluetooth general issue but specific to audio.

Bluetooth headset issues

Is anyone having issues with the Verizon 4S and dropping calls when using a BT earpiece? I have an ICON that when I am on a call and another call comes in...it drops both calls!

i had better luck then u did, my sony ericsson bluetooth headset paired and worked fine with my macbook osx 10.4.6.
only until i poped in a cd with a mix of home made short video clips the problem arised. when i try to preview them on finder the error msg same as urs pops up... even thou my bluetooth is switched off! every time i press the arrow key to move to n other clip the error msg pops up, really annoying. at the end i had to un-pair the headset to "solve" the problem.
i hope the future apple update can solve this problem.

I am having an issue writing texts with Siri on iPhone 5 iOS 6. When I do it just talking to the phone it works fine. However if I speak through the ear pod headphones or Bluetooth headset it only writes about 5 works before trying to send.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

10.4.8 Issues with bluetooth headset

Hello!
I have always used a Logitech Bluetooth Headset with the SIP client XMeeting under OS X 10.4.5 without any issues. AfterI updated to 10.4.8, the headset only works when I switched on PRIOR to booting the Mac.
If I switch it on after booting the Mac, its LED blinks blue with a strange sequence (two short blinks every 2 seconds or so - a headset state that the user's guide does not even mention).
But even if I switch it on prior to booting the Mac, it will not really connect (i.e. get out of standby mode) when I start XMeeting, instead it will connect with a delay only when I start a call with XMeeting.
Does anyone else face issues with bluetooth headsets? Or has someone found a fix for that?
Thanks,
Erik

Issue resolved with patches to 10.4.8 and follow-on versions.

6300 Bluetooth a2dp headset reconnection issue

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6300 with latest firmware/software. I am using a SE MW600 Bluetooth stereo headset for listening music, everything ok but when I try to reconnect it always loose connection. It says Disconnecting... .
I had the same issue before with a non-original (No brand) A2DP headset. It seems this is not the headset's issue, I think this is the Nokia 6300 phone's issue.
It is 2010 now, but Bluetooth is not compatible with its devices.
What is the solution? Why do I have to pay for something for Bluetooth, for Symbian, for Nokia phone they can not make a compatible device / accessory / software ? Is Bluetooth a standard? Why do we have to pay for those ?engineers who can not make a compatible device?

Well, I decided I didn't want to put up with this anymore, so my Pre went back to the store yesterday. I'm just sick of having a phone that's missing one crucial feature or another--I've been a loyal Palm customer for many years now, but it seems like they have turned into a second-class company. Lack of support and updates, shoddy products, etc.--it just seems like they never quite get it right.
So, I'm somewhat sorry to say it, but I'm going to get an iphone. While I'd prefer to have a device that had a physical QWERTY keyboard, I'm willing to put up with a virtual one as long as the phone operates correctly.
So, thanks for the memories, Palm! On to the iphone I go.........

Bluetooth Headset issue

While the latest version of Osx has fixed the problem with bluetooth headsets not working properly, I have a couple questions on its usefulness.
1) It seems that once setup, the mic stays hot the entire time its activated which runs the batteries down in no time. Is there a way to have the OS only activate the mic if I open a program that uses it like starting a call in skype?
2) The mic in the OS constantly adjusts itself based on external noise, is there a way that I can set the gain in settings and it actually stays the way i set it? The internal mic seems to operate normally but the bluetooth constantly increases the gain until it begins to sound bad.
Thanks for any help,

I bought a nokia bh-702 bluetooth headset. When connecting with E71, everything is OK, except that no ringtone comes from the headset when there is a incoming call.
Could you please tell me how to enable the ringtone from the headset while keeping the cellphone mute?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I've got exactly the same pair (E71 + BH702). The ringtone comes to headset if "general" profile is activate on E71. It doesn't come if "meeting" profile is active.
My problem is much more awful: very low volume when talking. How did you manage to increase volume with this headset ?
I would highly appreciate any information

A unique issue with my Bluetooth headset

I think my problem is unique
and I hope I can solve it asap. I've recently bought a Bluetooth headset ( LG BLUETOOTH
STEREO HEADSET HBS-730).
It worked perfectly on all devices, which provide Bluetooth feature, at home.
It even worked on LG computer (OS windows 7
home premium) perfectly. I
use Dell Inspiron model N5110 and windows home premium operating
system.
the problem is: when
I pair my BT headset with my computer I hear a perfect sound for few seconds then I begin to hear a broken up sound whatever I play or talk through. I used other type of BT headset but the same problem still there, what made me sure that the problem is from
my PC. wire headset work perfectly and the speakers of the computer as well.

You need to ensure you have the latest Intel drivers for your wireless/bluetooth card. Have you replaced the wireless/Bluetooth card to see if that is the problem.
This is not a Windows 7 problem. It is either your wireless/Bluetooth adapter or the Intel wireless/Bluetooth drivers causing the problem. You need to take your system to a professional computer repair shop to have diagnostics performed on your
wireless/Bluetooth adapter card.

Lumia 820 + Creative WP 350 bluetooth headset issu...

Hi,
I have tried using Creative WP 350 bluetooth headset as hands free, but the microphone sound is unclear and speech very hard to understand. Sound is muted and fuzzy. Voice quality is much better with couple of other brand phones (Android 2.3 and S40)
I have tried resetting the headset and all the official updates have been installed in Lumia. Is there anything that can be done, or will this headset be incompatible with Lumia 820?
Technical information of WP 350:
Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) Supported Bluetooth Profiles: A2DP (Wireless stereo Bluetooth), AVRCP (Bluetooth remote control), HSP (Headset profile), HFP (Hands-free profile) Audio Codec: aptX, SBC

Does ANYONE have a solution?

1520 not connecting to Bose 2 bluetooth headset

I am switching from a 920 to a 1520 and my Bose 2 bluetooth headsets are not pairing (I have 2 different ones). I have connected the 1520 to a Bose Soundlink Mini, so it connects to that. But I do not want to purchase new BT earpieces so I am wandering if this is a known issue ... I have seen other BT issues with the 1520.

My issue exactly, too. Just got the 1520, attempted to pair with Bose but nothing. Confirmed 1520 will pair with Jambox.

Bluetooth Headset for MacBook Pro

Hi,
Got a new 15" MacBook Pro a few weeks ago and have been having issues with my Nokia bluetooth headset when using with Skype. It connects ok but there seems to be alot of static in the earpiece when in use. I understand that there are some issues with different headsets but if anyone can recommend a good bluetooth headset that will work well with Skype it would be a great help.
Thanks,
Paul

I have the Jaybird JB-200 bluetooth headphones. I have never used them with Skype, but I use them all of the time with my MacBook Pro and iPhone.
