Pair 2 non-Apple headsets to an iPhone

I have a Jawbone Bluetooth headset and a Jabra Bluetooth Auto Kit. I have been able to pair each one to my iPhone, but not at the same time. I want to use the Jabra while in my car and the Jawbone when I’m not in my car. Does anyone know how to pair 2 non-Apple headsets to an iPhone?

I use a car hands-free system, and a motorbike helmet one. Both works fine with iPhone, what is your problem. Obviously, don't try to turn both on at the same time, you will never know which one connected first, but the behavior is pretty straightforward : When you turn your headset on, it may try to connect to your phone, or will try when there is an incoming call, it depends on your headset.
All you have to do is turn off your headset while you are in the car.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It can pair with other devices that support the BT profiles included on the iPod . See:

Basically, it can pair with headphones, speaker, keyboards. it can't pair with another phone or computer.

Apple headset unpairs from iPhone after charging in dock

After the first charge after buying the headset, it auto-paired to my iPhone when charging in the dock and worked properly afterwards. The next time I charged both in the dock, the headset would not pair to the iPhone afterward. The only way to re-pair was to turn off bluetooth on the phone, power off the headset, turn bluetooth back on, and power up the headset. Then the next time I charged them in the dock, same problem. I took my headset back to an Apple store thinking it was faulty, but the Genius explained that he has exactly the same behavior with his and it's just a fact of life with the Apple BT headset. My husband was given one for Xmas so I tried it out with my iPhone and, as expected, same problem. I'm surprised not more people are talking about this in these forums. Having to go through a annoying 4-step process to re-pair the headset after charging is absurd.

I was having the same problem, but I discovered a fix! I am using an iPhone with 1.1.3 firmware. Okay here goes.
1. Turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone and turn off the headset as well.
2. Plug in the iPhone and the headset in the dock. Make sure that the dock is plugged in to your computer via USB. Bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but the bluetooth symbol will be grayed out, i.e. not connected.
3. Remove the bluetooth headset from the dock.
4. Unpair the headset from the iPhone via Settings - General - Bluetooth. Turn off bluetooth once you are done unpairing.
5. Turn off the headset.
6. While the iPhone is in the dock, reboot the iPhone.
7. Once the iPhone boots up, plug in the headset in the dock.
Voila... the bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but this time the bluetooth symbol will be lit up, i.e. bluetooth connected.
Not done yet... remove the headset from the dock. The bluetooth symbol on the iPhone will go off, i.e. grayed out. Wait a few seconds and hit the button on the headset once and the bluetooth on the iPhone will reactivate and connect to your headset.
Hope this helps!

I have itunes on my desktop (non-apple) and iPhone. My fiance' has iPhone, iPad and Mac (all which I bought her). We'd like to share music on our devices. How do we do that?

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2) and my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.1.2). Then for several hours last nothing was deliverable unless to another iPhone or iPad. Today, once again, I can text to non-Apple friends from my iPhone but not my iPad. On the iPhone there are buttons for MMS & SMS messaging, but not on the iPad. What happened?
Thank you,
bobbi

I was having this problem today with my 6 plus and my air 2. Additionally, I kept getting the message that iMessage needed to be turned on to send my messages. It was turned on in both devices. I wonder if there was a problem at Apple. My carrier is t-mobile, perhaps there could be a problem there.

BlueAnt Z9 headset - awesome with iPhone!

I picked up an Apple Bluetooth Headset for the iPhone and found it to be absolutely terrible, a waste of $129. It was staticy, it had poor range, it had weird background noise...I was completely unsatisfied with it other than the tiny size. I've had several other Bluetooth headsets before but I was still on the lookout for a better one. The Jawbone was excellent, but had some minor issues that I didn't care for (issues with the noise cancellation feature, fit issues, etc.). Then I read this review on the BlueAnt Z9 headset over at MyiTablet:
http://www.myitablet.com/my-itablet-review-blueant-z9-bluetooth-headset-151384.p hp
I decided to pick one up. MyiTablet sells them for $99, a full $30 less than the iPhone headset. It's not quite as sleek or simple as the iPhone's headset, but it's still quite small. I found I actually really liked the size because the buttons are really easily accessible, moreso than on any other headset I've used in the past. The volume adjustment works fine with the iPhone and it paired very easily. One feature I really like is that you can pair up to 3 devices to the Z9 headset, then press the multi-function button to switch over to them. That way if you wanted to swap the headset from using it with your iPhone to using it with, say, your Mac laptop over Bluetooth to chat on Skype or iChat, you don't have to do the whole pairing dance every time. It has a lot of other nice little features, just read the review linked above for more info on those. Oh, it also has great range - I could walk all over my room without any static at all.
Overall I really like it. If you need a new Bluetooth headset or are frustrated with the one you have, you'll probably really enjoy the Z9 headset. It's loads better than the iPhone headset in terms of quality, you can adjust the volume easily, you can swap between Bluetooth sources quickly, and it has great range.

Windows is required to update the firmware in the Headset. I tried unsuccessfully performing the firmware update with Windows XP Pro on my MBP running Parrallels VM. The unit firmware updated without a hitch using an old Wndows machine that I had laying around collecting dust. I did not try the update with Bootcamp, as I do not have my MBP configured to run Windows that way.
I was orginally going to purchase the Apple Headset with my iPhone "iShill" store credit, but have read many reports that the unit was overpriced and had poor performance.
What you wrote solved a question I had. I'm also deciding between the Jawbone and Blueant Z9 but the fact that I have to use a proper Windows machine to do firmware upgrades is a no-go for me unless I can do it via Parallels which according to you experience is negative. I don't have access to a Windows Mac, that is unless I decide to make my MacBook Pro a boot-camp-able machine which would be silly because the only reason to do that would be for the Blueant firmware upgrade.
Alas!

What is the best headset for the iphone 5 that is not bluetooth. I need great listening and speaking quality.

What would you consider to be the "best" non-bluetooth headset for the Iphone 5? I have had some serious health issues of which could be stemming from the bluetooth and I need great sound quality both listening and speaking. Any suggestions?

Problem with wired headsets is that there is not std for mic in headsets so if its not 100 % made for iphones it will not work

Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device. (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

IPhone and Apple Headset

I am unable to get my Apple Headset to function with my iPhone. It was working fine, until someone plugged in their iPhone into the charger while my headset charging. I assume that the Apple Headset then paired with that persons iPhone. Never-the-less, once I re-paired the two (again), things should've been fixed. I've done everything that the manuals instruct me to do, yet I still can't receive calls via the headset, even though the indicator light says there is a connect.

Hi OTM,
Try remove the iPhone Bluetooth Headset, from Settings> General> Bluetooth, and then pair it to the iPhone again manually as described on page 9 of the iPhone Bluetooth Headset User Guide.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

How can I transfer music from my iphone to other non apple devices

How can I transfer music from my iphone to other non apple devices ?

If this is music purchased through the iTunes Music Store, you would need to transfer the music to your computer using iTunes then transfer to the non-apple device according to the manufacturer's instructions.

My laptop was stolen and with it my itunes, all of my music (including non-apple downloaded content) is still on my iphone 5, how can I transfer the files to my new laptop which is authorised to the same apple ID?
