Using my Motorola V3 as a bluetooth headset.

Hi
While messing around with iChat AV i managed to set up my bluetooth Motorola V3 as a headset. But typical me, I didn;t make a note of how I did it and now when I try to set it up it wont appear in the microphone list etc.
Any suggestions on how I can do it? I've read previous posts about this topic and people say it cant be done but it has worked for me in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I couldn't get it to work so i got a bluetooth headset instead.

Can I use my Mac as a bluetooth headset?

I have a USB headset with a mic connected to the Mac I sit in front of most of the day for work. I'm wondering... can I use my Mac as a bluetooth headset when talking on the phone? If so, how do I set this up and how do I activate it when I want to use it?

No
Get a bluetooth headset.

Anyone know how to fix Bluetooth headset not working properly after iOS 8 update?

I have an iPhone 5S and I use a Plantronics PLT M20 model bluetooth headset. I am no longer able to answer calls by pressing the button on the headset, since updating to iOS 8. I also also cannot end calls by pressing the button on the headset. This only happened after iOS 8. The Apple Care rep stated that "this is most likely a problem with the bluetooth manufacturer and they need to update their firmware, so now it's just a waiting game until they do that". Is that correct? Anyone encountering this?

Hi - I'm a student with disabilities and rely heavily on accessibility features that make my life easier. For example, I use a Bluetooth headset to trying answer phone calls and use Siri… I especially use the "Raise to speak" option for accessing Siri. Since updating my iPhone five us and my iPad air, I've been scrambling to access the "raise to speak" option for Siri without success. When I called AppleCare, the representative stated I should have that option to enable in my settings. When I explained to her that the option is not showing, she wanted me to reset my phone to factory settings. When I told her I googled the issue and found that it may have been removed in iOS 8… She put me on hold, Came back and told me I was right.
What's worse is that that my Bluetooth headset is no longer working with my iPhone 5S. She stated that it may being I needed adjustment from the manufacturer of the headset– Plantronics. All I know is that the apple care representatives seem confused and I am extremely disappointed in this really impacts my use of Siri and my phone.
When I asked her to submit feedback to her supervisor or the powers that be… I was simply asked to submit feedback to the Apple.com website. While I understand Apple might read that feedback, I also recognize that they don't reply and I don't feel that is great support to someone like me who has a disability and needs a solution. The"Hey Siri" option is not working for me.
Does anyone have any workarounds for the "Raise to speak" problem or the Bluetooth problem? Specifically, the Bluetooth issue is when I try to hit the button on my Bluetooth headset to answer a call or end the call. It's a Plantronics PLT M20 model.

Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly. I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office. Everyone in our company thinks they are the best. However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets. Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue. However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues. Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device. Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers. You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...
On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB. The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes. However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center. Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update. Are you kidding me... That is a bunch of BS...!!!

E61 as a bluetooth headset ?

I have tried to connect a bluetooth headset to my Nokia E61 and I have also tried to set up things so that the sound from the telephone comes out via my PC.
But I would like to set it up the oposit way so that the sound from the PC comes out trough my Nokia E61 used as a headset.
Imagine using Skype or some other softtelephone on the PC.
If it then could be possible to use the microphone and the speaker on the E61 as devices for the Skype telephony program running on my PC, then it would be possible to walk around in the house, spesking for free via my E61.
To be able to use the E61 just as a Bluetooth headset, that would be great. Can this be done ?

No, this is not possible with Mac OS X. Hardware supports it, but not the software.

There's a few things here, one is you probably need ck-launch, since pulseaudio depends on consolekit running.
Secondly, padevchooser is deprecated (read, avoid under all circumstances) upstream. Use pavucontrol instead.

HT204368 I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am no

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

PowerBook G4 "Sees" Bluetooth Headset but Disconnects During Use

At the recommendation of an Apple Store saleperson, I purchased a Motorola Bluetooth Handsfree Headset (Model H700). I have successfully connected to the Mac (G4 PowerBook), and it recognizes the unit as being connected properly.
When I try to listen to iTunes, or make a SKYPE call with the headset active, I get a message "Bluetooth audio disconnected. You headset unexpectedly disconnected. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted."
I have spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple Tech Support, and Motorola. No one has a clue what this means or how to fix it. Any ideas?
The setup assistant on the Mac shows everything to be checked out just fine. The headset works because I can hear it "beep" in my ear when I turn it on.
HELP!
Blue about Bluetooth

What I've discovered is that I can't set my bluetooth headset as the default audio output device... that causes all sorts of weirdness, usually resulting in my having to reboot the OS.
That said, I have no trouble using my headset with Skype. I leave the defaults under the Sound system preferences panel to Internal speakers / microphone, but I set the audio input / output to my headset on the Skpye Audio preferences page.

Best adapter for a Motorola HS-850 bluetooth headset

Hello,
I just purcahsed a Motorola HS-850 Bluetooth headset for my cell phone, and wanted to use it to make skype calls aswell. What are my choices for a USB bluetooth adapter (dongle)??? I would prefer something that isn't the D-link (far to expensive) but works just as well. Im not really sure what to go for?

The D-Link DBT-120 is the only adapter officially supported by Apple, with firmware updates etc. So if you want to guarantee the best compatibility with your Mac, that's the one to get. Try eBay if you want to save some cash.
Buying a cheaper one may be a false economy, because if you do have problems, you'll end up having to buy another one anyway.

Motorola Hz800 Bluetooth headset shorts out MBA Bluetooth Module when plugged into MBA USB port for charging

This is the weiredest thing. Everything is fine with my MBA, I have an apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse running smoothy then I plug in my Motorola HZ800 bluetooth headset using a USB to mico USB cable to my MBA to charge it and BAM! I get a the bluetooth logo with a sawtooth wave through it. It shuts down the bluetooth module completely. I have to restart the computer to bring back the bluetooth module to life. And now my keyboard won't pair again, but that's a whole other issue. Any reason why this would be? Thanks.

Yes. USB ports are limited to a maximum of 500 ma of current. Check the current rating on the charger for your headset. It is probably higher than 500 ma. It overloads the port forcing it to shut down.

Does this Work With Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET

I have heard that this works with Iphone? MOTOROLA S9 BLUETOOTH HEADSET ...does anyone know if it truly does or do you all know of a headset (over the head or behind the neck) one that does?
< Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >
Thanks
Bill

I was in a wireless store when I inquired to a manager about this product (S9 Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Headset), and asked if it worked with both the iPod and phone capabilities of my iPhone....to which this manager replied that she knew for a fact that she had read on the apple support forums that this product did, in fact work with both music and phone functionality, once paired.
I believe now that she was using this tactic to make more apple-endorsed-sales of this headset, and therefore get more commissions for her store. I mean every employee in the store was wearing them and toting that they worked flawlessly when asked, it was disgusting now that I think of it.
I called the store back up and asked to speak to that manager again, and she maintained that what she read was in fact true, even when I told her that I found that the iPhone does not currently support this headset's bluetooth technology, and that possibly what she read was that once paired the headset works with the phone part of the iPhone but not the iPod part.....she railed that she was correct and that what she read supported both, in spite of all evidence to the contrary, here on apple's support forums.
I think that wireless company employees with a new product that they cannot officially confirm compatibilities, should not go unchecked for spreading misinformation, merely to promote sales for walk-ins...its really terrible, especially on the biggest day of the shopping year and all the hype already created and money put into incentives to rush sales.
Don't believe the hype. Even the phone capability of the S9 headset is not stereo for the iPhone. Really not worth over a $100 for this kind of minor functionality.

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 H300 bluetooth headset and 3.0

I have a Motorola H300 bluetooth headset. It pairs and shows as connected with my Iphone 3G S. However, it works only with the phone. I understood that the new 3.0 OS would allow bluetooth devices to work with the IPod functions also. Am I correct? Any suggestions as what may be wrong?

I have a hands free earpiece headset I've been using for months. It would stay connected and in standby mode until a call came in — one touch and it would answer a call. I recently got a Insignia stereo Bluetooth headset in anticipation of 3.0 and they work great.
The problem is my hands free earpiece headset also picks up the stereo from the iPod. This headset, will no longer go into standby because it's always connected. I can't listen to my iPod in my car and keep the earpiece on standby as in the past. I now have to completely shut off the earpiece just to listen to music through my car stereo. When a call comes in I have to boot up the earpiece. This takes longer, and while driving, more distracting.
Any ideas on how to keep the iPhone from playing the iPod through my hands free telephone earpiece?
