Bluetooth is not pairing to other devices

bluetooth is not pairing to other phones

I have had the same problem. Got my iphone yesterday and it won't even find other bluetooth devices, just keeps saying it is searching and the little wheel keeps spinning constantly. I called my network provider for advice and they checked that bluetooth was switched on and that all other bluetooth devices were 'visible' then said there must be a fault with the phone and are sending me a new one. looking on other forums, it would seem this is quite a common problem with the iphone you should be able to pair with other phones even if they are another type of phone, and you should not need an app of any sort to do so! Bluetooth has been around alot longer than smartphones and therefore never needed an app to work on any of my previous phones

  • Seems my macbook air's bluetooth cannot sustain pairing with other devices. It shuts off right away. Been trying to pair my iPhone 6 with it but it keeps disconnecting. I can't use my airdrop. My air is a 2011 11 inch with serial number

    My Macbook air's bluetooth does not sustain paring with my iPhone 6 so I cannot use my airdrop. Is there something wrong with my mac's bluetooth or is there something I need to do to activate it? My iPhone's control center has its airdrop open on everyone and with bluetooth open.

    Both devices need to have their Bluetooth on, but they need not (and indeed cannot) pair.
    A MacBook Air can communicate to an iPhone using AirDrop.  Both devices would have Bluetooth on without pairing as I described.  But actually if you have a mid-2011 MacBook Air, that computer is too old to communicate that way, so you are out of luck.

  • My iPod touch won't pair with other devices

    While trying to pair with another iPod device using Bluetooth the device said " sherry's device not supported" how do I fix this problem so I can b able o pair with other devices.? Help please

    An iPod can pair to an iPhone for tethering to the phones internet connection if the phone is subscribed to the optional tethering data plan. An iPod can also pair with another iPod (and iDevice) via app that allow peer-to-peer pairing.  That is mainly for gaming.  See the following for more information on BT:

  • IPhone 4 Bluetooth will not pair with Jawbone Icon,  Jawbone 2

    Just got my iPhone today and am more or less thrilled to have it. The only problem (other than the antenna issue, which the bumper fixes beautifully) is that Bluetooth will not pair with any of my Bluetooth devices. When I turn on Bluetooth on the phone and turn on the headset, iPhone says it's "searching.." and "now discoverable" but it never discovers anything, let alone pair up. The Bluetooth on my MacBook recognized the iPhone and I was able to pair them, but no luck on the Jawbones. Sounds like a JB problem, but I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there's a fix via the iPhone.

    On the icon, turn it off and hold button down while sliding the power switch on. This should put it in pairing mode. Then go into your i4's bluetooth menu and give it another go. Also, Jawbone has recently updated the firmware for the Icon so you need to load it as well. I have the icon and a Jabra cruiser and both work/paired fine. You may want to try rebooting phone and retrying as well.

  • Went to 4.5 and now Bluetooth does not pair with anything.

    I have already checked every setting I can think of, my phone is discoverable; I've tried with and without encryption; I've tried to connect to other phones; I have had the other phones try to pair with me...
    When my husband's phone tries to pair with mine I get this message:  Service not supported by other device. Same with my mom's phone and my dad's phone.  All different brands, Nokia, Motorola, etc.
    I have an LG HBM-770 Hands free device and it connects perfectly.
    I am at wit's end...and I know it's probably something I'm doing wrong.  HELP.

    Hey JanetLCunningham,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    There is a few things to check to see if the Bluetooth is working properly.
    1. Go to Options on the BlackBerry, and open Bluetooth.
    2. Press the menu key and select Options.
    3. Scroll down and are ALL of the Bluetooth services check-marked?
    4. Next go back into the main Options of the BlackBerry.
    5. Go into Security Options and then General Settings.
    6. Is there anything that states an IT Policy Name?
    You can always perform a reset to factory to make sure nothing security related is affecting the Bluetooth connectivity.

    There is nothing to solve. Pairin with another phone is not a supported BlueTooth protocol. The exception being pairing for some multi-player games.

    I reset the password. As you instructed, but that was not enough to solve the problem.
    To solve the problem I also did the following:
    For my user name I included @me.com., but I'm not sure that made any difference.
    I think the key to solving this was that I pushed past the error I got on the Outgoing Mail Server window. I wasn't sure I should do that but I was desperate:
    Next I got this window and checked SSL.
    That was it!
    Finally I went into account preferences and checked the outgoing mail server settings to be sure the server port was correct. It was.
    Thank you for your help.
