Help pairing Motorola H700 Headset

I've been trying to pair my h700 headset with my powerbook G4. However, it seems to get tuck on the bluetooth assistant. For example, I start the assistant, and it sees the device, but then it just sits there and contiunes searching for other headset devices. Or, if I select 'Continue' after it finds my device (but while it's still searching), it just sits at the 'Gathering more information about your device' step. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I have the internal bluetooth, so I am not using an adapter.
As far as firmware and software, I have Bluetooth firmware version 3.1792 and Apple Bluetooth software version 1.7.3f4
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had the exact same problem. Called Motorola and they told me it will not work with the Mac.
So I returned it and bought the Motorola HS820 and it pairs just fine and works extremely well.

  • Bluetooth won't pair (Motorola h700  cell phone headset )

    I have been trying to pair the Motorola H700 headset I use with my cell phone with my new iPod touch.
    It will not pair. Is the headset I use with my cell phone different, or should it be able to pair for use with apps like Skype on my iPod Touch????

    Could you please clarify? I understand your point that bluetooth headsets that are only designed for phone calls won't work with the touch, but don't most bluetooth headsets that play music also handle phone calls. For instance, the samsung bluetooth headset that I use with my Windows mobile Omnia will play music and phone calls and skype and voip calls. And it is my understanding that the touch supports skype and voip.

  • Motorola H700 automatically disconnects.

    I am having a lot of trouble with my Motorola H700 headset. I can pair easily, and the headset even shows up in my System Preferences, but I get the "Bluetooth Audio Failed" or "Disconnected" errors when I try to use them as Input or Output.
    I noticed in Bluetooth Preferences that in the Devices tab, the "Connected:" spot goes back and forth between Yes and No, it seems for no particular reason as the headset sits 6 inches from the machine. Eventually, it just stays disconnected.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Alexander, good feedback. (Oh, BTW my Nokia HS-26W did include a step down adapter in the box, just FWIW) I noticed this sequence of events this morning(generally speaking): I powered up my PBook with the (Nokia) headset(HS) left powered off. Then, after charging the HS I powered it on. Then, all the "problems" from the past re-occurred, and of course I was very perplexed. Then, I powered the HS on and powered the Mac off/on via restart. Viola, everything worked as well as yesterday (see my previous post). I am beginning to wonder if the "problem" in some/many cases may be related to this kind of 'sequence of events', especially considering the fact that you have been successful with all of those different HS. Perhaps something as simple as a "general usage guidelines" would be useful. Dunno. Anyway, I am probably gonna be more scarce 'round these parts, although I will check-in from time to time, mostly because I seem to be off and running with my HS needs satisfied. Thanks to everyone who has helped in general.

    I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
    So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
    snd_bt_sco 14028 0
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]#
    That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.

    Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
    So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

    Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
    But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
    The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
    Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.
    dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
    org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable
    I write this after the bluetooth system has started.
    Hope it helps

  • Trouble Using Motorola H700

    I have a Motorola H700 that was paring and working just fine with my 8GB iPhone. With the release of 1.1.3 I, like many others, had problems with Bluetooth. During a call, I could hear the recipient in my headset just fine, but there was nothing coming through on their end. I thought the release of 1.1.4 would fix this, but to no avail. I have paired the headset with a friend's phone (not iPhone) and it works fine, so I know the microphone is functioning. I have googled solutions and have tried some popular ones:
    1. Resetting network settings.
    2. Airplane mode toggle.
    3. Unpairing and repairing
    4. Restoring my iPhone
    NONE of these solutions have worked for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions???
    Thanks

    You're going to have to be more descriptive as to what the issue could be. For example, were there any specific error messages that was returned when you tried to duplicate the Mac OS X disc on to, what I presume, is a separate disc or USB pen drive?

  • Bluetooth Motorola H700 earpiece no audio

    This is my first Itouch and trying to use Bluetooth.
    My BT pairs with Itouch 4G.
    I can give voice commands to operate music player, but sound comes from external speaker of Itouch. How do I get the sound to BT device?

    I looked at the Motorola site and can't find if the H700 supports the A2DP profile. Thee two site only mention the hand free and headset profiles. A lot of headsets use the HFP (hands free profile) that the iPod does not support.

  • Pairing iphone BT headset with Win XP Pro - questions

    Hi,
    i am trying to use my iphone headset with my windows XP computer to do VoIP. I am able to pair the BT headset with XP (at least it shows up connected in BT settings). But i cannot select it within my audio/microphone devices, also doesnt show up in VoIP client as in/output device. in my BT settings the iphone BT headset does not hzave any services that i can pair with audio for example
    What's wrong? anyone has an idea?
    Thanks, Markus

    The computer needs to support particular bluetooth profiles, i.e. a software drivers that support specific application like datamodem, stereo headphone, phone headset (the one you want) or many other things.
    You may be using the bluetooth driver stack that comes included with windows xp? As I recall, that one does not support the headset software profile, just some other stuff. For myself, I had to arrange for Widcomm drivers to get installed on my computer instead of the microsoft one, they do support that Bluetooth feature, and my (logitech) headset has been working fine since. It may take some googling to get Widcomm or other drivers, as they are typically bundled with some (but not all) bluetooth dongles instead of easily downloaded and installed.
    Hope this helps. It should definately work with the right software.

  • Loss of tones on iphone following pairing to jawbone headset

    Hi all
    Wonder if someone can help / any ideas etc.
    I recently bought and paired the jawbone headset to my iphone. It works perfectly, no problems.
    However since doing so, I have lost all the tones on my iphone, and when the bluetooth is turned off and someone calls it does not ring - just vibrates.
    When typing a text the click sounds don't work and the unlock click doesn't sound when I unlock.
    All the setting are correct on the iphone - i.e. all set to turned on, relevant ring music on etc.
    Was working fine before this - but now gone??
    Can't seem to find anyone else on the forum with this issue.
    I've even tried inserting the earphone jack a few times to make sure that it doesn't think that's plugged in - but no joy??
    Do I need to reset the phone??
    Cheers
    Jon

    Bump.
    Exact same problem here with mine.
    Posted my problems on another thread on the board here but like all here its useless in the car and my ear is hurting with having to push it so far in!
    (saying that there is nothing between my ears to it might pop out the other side!)
    Other than that i called Apple support and all they could suggest was update the phone to 1.1.4.
    If that failed then go to an apple store and get them to test it and replace if it is not working.

  • IPhone and Bluetooth Motorola H700

    The Motorola H700 can be paired with the iPhone.
    See step by step instruction posted at:
    http://web.mac.com/lpickering

    I use Motorola H700 with iPhone. Used to use it with Samsung for 1 year. Got the iPhone and it paired right up. Very happy. Heard the "Jawbone" was better. Went and bought one at Best Buy, ($139) had problems pairing it but after 2 days got it to work. It sucked. Noise canceling didn't work and the plastic over the ear felt like someone was squeezing my ear with pliers.
    Stick with the 700. I go to bed at night sometimes and reach up to my ear and the 700's there. I'd been wearing it all day and didn't even know it was there.

  • Motorola Bluetooth Headset H500 Soft Touch Black, lost in confusion.

    Hi, I have a friend who gave me his old Motorola Bluetooth Headset H500 Soft Touch Black unfortunately he doesn't have any of the manuals or software that came with it because it was lost somewhere deep in piles of junk in his garage...
    Anyways I'm wondering if there is a way to get it to be recognized with my MacBook. I believe he formerly used it on his cell phone. When I have my Mac search for Bluetooth devices however it doesn't find any.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Motorola H710 headset stopped working

    I've had an H710 headset for almost 2 years without a problem.  Suddenly the person at the other end of my call couldn't hear me (or I was very faint) even though voice dialing on my phone could hear me when I initiated a call.  I read a number of posts that led me to try to clean out the mic hole, which I did but didn't fix the problem.  I ended up buying another H710.  I paired the new headset successfully but voice dialing can't hear me and of course the caller at the other end can't either.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

    I neglected to add the pertinent info for my phone.  BB 8830, Sprint, OS V4.5.0.175, voice dialing is Voice Signal VSuite 2.1 Version: 2088 (LVR 47.2) Build 0238.
    I have performed battery pulls as well as removal and repairing of headsets.  Problem still exists.
    Thanks,
    Dennis
