Bluetooth headset paired but no output

Hi all,
I have a Nokia bh-700 bluetooth headset with a 2g/edge iphone on 2.0.2 firmware.
The headset pairs fine with the phone, but the bluetooth icon on the main screen continues to stay dark gray, and it never turns blue even though the headset lights show that it is connected.
The problem is when I try to make/receive calls, the output still comes out of the iphone speaker, and no output comes out of the headset. I'm sure the bluetooth headset works since it works on my macbook pro.
I've tried turning wifi off, toggling bluetooth on/off, resetting the phone, pressing/holding random buttons on the headset (everything it says in the manual), etc.
I googled this problem (not for this specific headset), and it seems like some other people have this issue.
Anyone have any ideas or any fixes? I've also read some people who have the bh-700 and it works perfectly with the iphone.
Thanks!

Having the same problem with a Motorola headset, it syncs fine but won't drive the sound through the headset.

Bluetooth headset pairs, but is not available as playback device

Hi there
I am trying to pair and use my MEElectronics Runaway bluetooth stereo headset (with microphone) with my Zbook. I am following the instructions at MEElectronics available here http://www.meelec.com/Articles.asp?ID=352#ytplayer
I make the device discoverable and am able to pair the devices.
I select the device in Windows and it says 'connecting to device' then 'configuring device'. Then
'This device has been successfully added to this computer. Windows is now checking for drivers and will install them if necessary. You may need to wait for this to finish before your device is ready to use. To verify if this device finished installing properly, look for it in Devices and Printers.'
I click on Devices and Printers, and find the Air-Fi Runaway.
I click on volume system icon to select it as a playback device, but it is not listed there.
How do I guarantee that Windows actually downloads and installs the drivers to make this work? It doesn't appear to be doing so automatically as per what happened above.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Tronica

hello,
the reason the driver is not installed is because there is no windows 7/8 64bit driver available .
I have the same problem with another kind of headphones, soundpeats qy7 .
I keep searching and hoping that maybe a driver will be completed and published .

Jabra EasyGo Headset Paired but will not Connect with 8520

I have a Blackberry Curve 8520.
I have successfully paired it with a Jabra EasyGo bluetooth Headset.
But when I try to connect it shows message "Connection to Jabra Easygo Failed"
I've tried deleting and re-pairing, but still get same message

I was having Magic Pad problems after upgrading to Mountain Lion. This fixed the problem for me, it might work for mouse problems as well:

Audio NOT functioning correctly after botched bluetooth headset pair attemp

After trying to connect my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS820) to my Macbook Pro i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with my bluetooth audio configuration.. However apps like itunes and skype function correctly..
When attempting to pair my bluetooth headset the bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects.. after several attempts at tricking it to connect (advice from posts in mac.com forums) i have given up and deleted these devices from my bluetooth preferences and still have these problems..
I'm assuming there is some config file still in place pointing these apps in the wrong direction?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dual Booter

Just verified Audio is not working for me in safari either...
Example i'm using is any video on youtube.com
Edit: I guess this would be a problem with macromedia flash then?

Bluetooth Headeset Pairs - but then drops...

I have tried this with several different bluetooth headsets.
I successfully pair my device and bluetooth headset, can make calls, everything works fine. Once I am off of a call for longer than 2-3 minutes the bluetooth connection is lost. I look on the phone, and somehow the bluetooth is turned off on the device. I have to turn it back on - which it automatically will pair with my headset. But it ALWAYS shuts off...
any idea?

I had the same problem with my Sonyericsson HBH-DS980 bluetooth headphones/headset until I updated to the latest Apple bluetooth firmware.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/bluetoothfirmwareu pdate20.html

My bluetooth headset connects, but it is not a source option on an active call. Why?

I get an icon indicating that the plantronics M1100 headset is connected and working properly on my display. The headset even asks me if i want to answer incoming calls. But when i say "answer", i can only use the handset or speaker phone. I cannot get an active call to go to my headset. This just started happening. If there is a setting i am missing in the iPhone 4s please let me know. thanks!

I am suddenly having a similar issue with my Motorola H17 bluetooth headset. it is pairing/connected with my iphone 4. i can use the voice control feature to dial a number. but i cannot get any audio and cant answer calls from the headset.

Apple Bluetooth Headset pair with more than one phone?

HI there,
Is it possible to pair the Apple Bluetooth Headset to more than one phone, obviously not at the same time. (I have an iphone and Sony ericsson phone and need to use it with both.)
Thanks in advance for help.
Regards
Nick

unlike some of the sony ericssons, the apple headset can only be paired with one phone at a time. that doesn't stop you from repairing it when need be, however...

Bluetooth is pairing but is not functioning

I bought my Iphone4 exactly a year back. In the very begining, I paired it with the Bluetooth of my Toyota Mark-X car. It was working perfectly. Every time, I receive a call, automatically the audio shuts down and I am able to take a call and as soon as the call gets finished, audio starts playing right from that second where it left !!
Last week, when IOS5 was released, I immediately upgraded it .... it was running perfectly, as usual but just after 2 days, it stopped functioning !! I mean Bluetooth gets paired to my Car but the call is not properly diverted to the Car Audio !! First I thought that there is a problem with my Mark-X bluetooth software; so I changed my phone, paired my old Samsung with it and it started working exactly the way it used to !! Which means that there is no problem as far as my Car hardware is concerned !!
I, then, deleted my Iphone profile from my car and then re-paired it .... Problem is still the same; my Car is detecting Iphone & is also pairing to it BUT the Bluetooth functionality is not working !! Even as a matter of fact, before this happened, whenever I received a call, the Iphone screen start showing "Sources" option in the place of "Speaker" icon; from there you can select that whether you want to receive it on Bluetooth or phone or speaker !! But now, it shows the bluetooth as connected but does not show any option on the Iphone screen NOR it fuctions !!
Any Ideas ??

I am having exactly the same problem. I have a 2010 Ford Mondeo and it has always paired up perfectly with my 3GS iphone.
Since the ios5 upgrade it comes up that it is paired and I can access my phonebook etc through the car's system no problems. However when I make a call using the car, it is potluck as to whether it will work or whether it drops out from the car straight away (but continues with the call in my phone which means I have to pull over to stop the call in my phone if it hasn't jammed the phone up).
Even though it indicates that my phone and car are paired, and I may have even received or made a call during the same trip, incoming calls are not put through the car system so I arrive at my destination to find I have missed calls on my phone.
It seems ridiculous that an upgrade could be such a massive step back!!!

Bluetooth Headset Pairing (iPhone 3GS)

I purchased the *+Rocketfish RF-BTHP01+* (Bluetooth Headset - earbuds, behind the neck form factor) it's very cool, great for working out and listening to music.. Which originally worked fine, paired with the phone and was wonderful for about 6 months until today when i upgraded to the latest iPhone 3GS OS (3.1.3). All of a sudden it cannot pair anymore. I have no idea what is going on. Looked on the net and found that people are having similar problems, someone said to try to flip airplane mode off and on and BT off and on. Tried that, also tried resetting.. Neither of those seem to work. Any other options ?

Have you put then headphones into "discovery mode"?

The bluetooth keyboards pairs, but I can't type.

The blue tooth keyboards do pair, but after that no keystrokes are recognized by the Mac.I have tried with three different bluetooth keyboards with the same results, so it's not the keyboard itself. Mouse works though. I have tried to pair the keyboard again, but with the same results. I am currently on iOS Mountain Lion. Also Mouse Keys are disabled, so that's not the issue. Anyone experienced the same and found a solution?

Hello:
I reread your post. OS X 10.8 and iOS are different. What are you trying to pair the KB with? I also did not ask if the keyboards are Apple devices......
Since tyou said you have tried with three keyboards, it obviously is not a faulty KB. One other thing I can think of to try requires a working KB (reset the PRAM).
You might also trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.
Is one of the keyboards new (and Apple branded)? If so, I would take it to an Apple store and talk to someone at the genius bar.

A1016 Apple Bluetooth Keyboard Pairs, but will not work

I have one of those A1016, 1st generation, Apple Bluetooth keyboards,
had it since late 2008, that will pair via bluetooth setup assistant, I
can enter the passkey on the keyboard and I get the "congratulations
your computer is now setup to use your bluetooth keyboard, message but,
as soon as it is paired the keyboard accepts no input.
The problem started after I left the keyboard in my car overnight, and
switched on, I believe, while the only macbook I had ever used the
keyboard with was with me, 30 miles away. If I had not been in an
extreme hurry at the time I probably would have thought to take the
batteries out of the keyboard.
The battery level, currently, is at about 79%. The light on the caps
lock key does not come on, but the green light on the on switch,
underneath the keyboard, does seem to work, when I first switch it on
that light blinks for a period of time.
Incidentally, the keyboard has been in this condition for a long time,
now, and I deleted com.apple.Bluetooth.plist many times and I repaired
permissions, even with "applejack" and with "iceclean", many times since
the problem started.

Hi Barry, thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with "favorites" for BT, but I checked, and of the several BT devices I have re-paired, only the keyboard is NOT a "favorite". Odd thing is, I have no idea how to make a device a "favorite" (or not)! Don't know how it happened for the other devices.
The Apple support document TA2137 says to click on the "add to favorites" button, but I see no such button and no way to make a BT device a "favorite". I have no idea how my other BT devices got so designated. I think I've applied all software updates.
Can you help me on setting that BT "favorite" status?
Thanks,
Dave

Headset pairs but not connecting! N95

Hi, Hope someone can help. I have a Samsung WEP200 headset that works with other phones, but will not connect to my N95. The headset is found, paired and authorised but just "gets unable to connect" error.
The Bluetooth symbol also has the () symbols either side when the headset is on.
Any suggestions would be greatly received.

Jaybird JB 200 Bluetooth headset connects but no audio

Hi,
I have T400 with Windows 7 64 bit. I've installed the latest Bluetooth drivers. I can pair the Jaybird JB 200 headset, the system says it's connected, but I don't get any audio. The headset is silent and no controls work.
What am I missing to get this to work?
Thanks

hey mpjb,
it is really hard to say on what is missing, but could you try the following,
1. uninstall the bluetooth stack
2. add new hardware(bluetooth) and let the Win7 install it's generic bluetooth stack,
see if this works.
also does the Jaybird work on a different machine ?

Bluetooth Keyboard Pairs But Doesn't Work!

Hi all,
I powered on my Mac and went to add the keyboard. It then found the keyboard and went through the process of pairing, showing the keys on the kyboard to tap to finish the process. I did this and then the pairing was complete and all looked fine.
I tried to type something on the keyboard and nothing would work, not in any program.
What is stranger... even though I could pair the keyboard by pressing the right keys, when I opened Keyboard Viewer, nothing is shown for any key apart from a few such as command and alt.
Also, the volume keys work absolutely fine.
I went to see if things were looking OK from a bluetooth perspective and indeed, they are! The keyboard shows up as being connected and looks fine, I have even been into system profiler and it seems to know exactly what keyboard is connected.
Has anyone come across this issue before?
By the way, I have been using a PC keyboard and mouse (both are wired) on this machine since I bought it and it has been fine, I'm not sure if this would have any impact on things. While I am trying to use the wireless keyboard I am leaving the wired mouse connected, though I have tried without and it still does the same thing, nothing! The batteries are fresh in the keyboard too.
Any help with pointing me in the right direction here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
