Using Multiple Bluetooth Headsets With the iPhone

I have a jawbone 2 & blueant v1 bluetooth headsets both paired & working with my 3G iPhone but i dont know how to switch between them. anyone know about this?

I have to reply here. I just came over after a horrible three weeks on a new BlackBerry Bold. I've been a BB user for several years and, being a Mac user, have LOVED the way my wife's iPhone worked, especially connection and updating from her iBook.
So, when I finally gave up on the BB and got the 3G I expected some things to be the same. One of them being the way the BlackBerry would virtually 'float' between Bluetooth devices, almost seamlessly. It took a while to get it working, but finally got it.
I have a Jabra BT500 earpiece, BlueAnt ST3 speakerphone in my car, and a Motorola Bluetooth device that adds my iPhone to the cordless phone network in my home.
The trick is to PAIR EACH DEVICE as if it were the ONLY DEVICE CONNECTED. DO NOT UNPAIR the first device and move on to device #2. Enter the code, let it PAIR and move on to device #3 doing the same. Once you've done all of your devices, you simply move 'into the zone' of each one and they should connect.
The Jabra, obviously, had to be turned on, but paired immediately. The BlueAnt ST3 turns on when it senses movement in the car, i.e. opening the door, etc. Once it's on, it pairs immediately. When I get home and are out of my car, I place the iPhone near the Motorola device and my cell number is now part of my home cordless system.
If I look at the Bluetooth setup in the general prefs, it shows all three devices as being paired. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!! IT ALL WORKS!!!

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone?

I see a lot of bad experiences, & not too many good ones.
Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I just need one that works, with very little features (ie: redial button on headset).

I've actually posted another thread, and I don't mean to take over the original members post, but I'm hoping this will help others who may be having the same problems. Thanks to all of you who have posted your results with the various headsets!
I am now on my third iPhone 3G in under six months. The first one would drop calls when the corded Apple headset was plugged in during the call, and the second would cause the caller on the other end to hear an echo when I used the Apple headset. Plus, it did not respond well at all to Bluetooth headsets. Tons of static, call echoes, and noise cancellation not working.
My experience with the Jawbone 2 has been disappointing. I have heard way too many testimonials of satisfied iPhone users who love the JB2, so I'm beginning to think it's just me. I went through FOUR Jawbone 2 devices in under a month, all because of poor sound quality, and the Noise Assassin not working properly.
The white rubber tip sat very well against my cheek, and the default medium earpiece fit perfectly in my ear and was very comfortable to wear. Everything seemed to be in order, but the same problems would arise over and over again. I would get poor sound quality on both ends of the call, and people could hear the tv or the radio playing in the background on my end.
Maybe the structure of my head isn't suited for the JB2, but I have a very normally proportioned head. I refuse to believe it's the device——It has been rated highly by too many people to be the issue. I've all but given up on it, regrettably.
The Plantronics Discovery 665 I tested had issues with static. I would hear it on my end, even thought the phone was no more than two feet away.
I'll give the Plantronics 925 a try, as well as the Blue Ant V1. We'll see...

Can't pair up my Samsung WEP410 bluetooth headset with my iphone

I am able to pair up my samsung bluetooth headset with my other phone. Once I try to connect it with my iphone, my iphone just showing searching forever.
is there anybody know what's going on???
THanks

I have the same headset and paired it successfully using these steps:
1) Put iPhone in bluetooth discovery mode (Settings > General > Bluetooth > On). While on this page your iphone will have bluetooth visibility on and will search for devices.
2) Put your samsung headset in discovery mode by holding down the large button for 10 seconds. You should see a constant blue light (not flashing).
3) Your iPhone should detect the headset and ask for a pin code, enter 0000.
4) Your headset should now show as being paired with the iPhone.

Procedure to pair a bluetooth headset to the iphone??

This is the first time that I have ever used the bluetooth on my iPhone. I just received a Motorola H550 bluetooth headset. This lists the iPhone as compatible. Is there some special procedure to follow to get it to pair? I turned on the headset and let it come on completely, then went to setting and turned on the bluetooth on the iPhone. It recognized the H550 Device, but the spinning gear continued and showed "Not Paired". It also says "Now Discoverable" Did I miss something? It has been updated to 1.1.4.
Thanks

Hey Herschel,
It sounds like you'll need to put the Motorola headset into a discoverable mode. Generally this is done by holding down a button or pressing multiple buttons until you see it blink. You'll have to check the manual that came with the headset to find the exact way to make the headset discoverable.
This article walks you through pairing the iPhone with a third party headset.

How do I use my bluetooth headset with apple maps?

I can't seem to get apple's maps to talk to my headset -- it's only using it's own speaker (I don't have a bluetooth-enabled car). Any ideas?

Is it possible to sync multiple iphoto libraries with the iPhone?

I have two libraries in iPhoto 08 but iTunes only lets me pick the default iPhoto library to sync with my iPhone. Is there a way to sync the iPhone with multiple iPhoto libraries?

You are correct. This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
Example:
Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
Click on Calendars
Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
Login to MM user account A on me.com
Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

Issues with using aftermarket 2G chargers with the iphone

I was using my iphone 3GS last night and battery was over 90% I had just gotten done shooting some video and I was on my PC trying to figure what I needed to do to upload the video to YouTube. I pulled iPhone out of my pocket it was completely dead. I tried soft reset and hard reset with no luck. I thought maybe I had misread how charged the battery was and it had just died. When I got home I plugged it and let it charge overnight on an aftermarket charger. When I woke up this morning same thing. No power, no response( I tried plugging it into the wall and into the USB port of my laptop) I also tried soft reset and hard reset again this morning still no luck. I had been using an after market home charger that I had purchased with my original iPhone 2g. It seemed to work with no problems on the new phone and I had used it everynight for the last week or so.
As a last resort I put my iPhone in a new case-mate charger/holster I had just purchased and finally it gives me the battery charging icon. My conclusion is that the after market charge I have will work OK for charging a low battery to full again but if the phone is completely dead then maybe only an original charger will work. The problem is I have USB cables and home charges and car chargers from my iPhone 2g and my iPod touch and I assumed they would all work and were interchangeable but now I am not so sure. I am also stumpped as to how my battery could say 90% and 2 hours latter the phone is compelty dead. The only things I had done was turn on location services ( I was messing around with an app I downloaded (Zillow) and used the camera for less than 5 minutes and made 2-3 calls. Maybe the case-mate holster charger I had used ealier in the day had given a false full charge, I am not really sure at this point I am still trying to sort out the issue.

Apple changed the pin configuration with the 3G on phones ,ipod and itouch back in 2008
They removed the firewire charge option new kit is now not compatible with older
options that charge
ie 3G or 3Gs for that matter will not charge on original Bose Sound dock or Apple
docks for starters

Is there a way to use multiple canvas tags with the ToolKit for CreateJS for Flash in one HTML5 doc?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help point me in the right direction for solving this. I have created 5 short animations using Flash and when I published each ".fla " (with Toolkit for CreateJS extension) I get 5 different html5 files with their own respective javascripts. Is there a way to get all those canvas tags in one html5 file and still have it work. I'd love a hint on where to begin so I can begin researching the solution.
Thanks!

Why do you think that one will be over written?
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like to one computer. Each is different and will only sync what you select.

Can you use a bluetooth headset with iPad 2? I.e. Plantronics Discovery 975.

I want to use Bria (softphone) as my "phone" on the iPad 2 and be able to answer calls from the bluetooth deivce. Ideally, I would want Bria to run in the background, my ipad on my desk or backpack and be able to answer calls. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
Dan

No. You can use a wireless keyboard. A mouse would be pointless because there is no cursor.
