I have now exchanged two 8525s. My first one had white screen issue but worked great with my BT Plantronics 510. Got a replacement. No white screen, but does not detect BT headset. Got ANOTHER replacement. STILL does not detect BT headset. Is the new ROM flawed, or is it just not compatible with BT Plantronics 510?
Hey,
Just to be sure (as someone will ask) you are putting the headset into discoverable mode?
Does the new 8525s detect other BT devices?

Hi there,
I am trying to connect my Plantronics 520 with the Touch HD, but the headset doesnt appear on the phones list of visibility, so that I cannot pair my headset with the phone. BT is enabled on both directions. Any advice?
Hi, I am trying to pair my old Nokia Bluetooth headset (BH-102) with my Topaz wihtout any luck. I have seen posts (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-345805.html, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457368) that have paired Nokia with HTC. Any ideas? The headset is not even found when I search for Bluetooth devices.
have you made sure your phone is on discoverable mode?
I've paired 2 different nokia bluetooth headphones to my Topaz without problem (as well as 2 Sony Ericsson ones)
"Make this device visible to other devices" is the option you must have checked (at least the first time)
Incase you don't have the manual:
"Clear settings or reset
To delete the pairings from the
headset, switch off the headset, and
press and hold the multifunction key
for over 8 seconds until the headset
beeps twice and the indicator light
flashes quickly."
then, once you're done that, switch your bluetooth on on your phone, make sure it's discoverable, then turn on your headset.
Thanks!! Worked like Magic! So dumb of me
I have some bluetooth headphones, that used to work a treat on my old Touch HD and Iphone, but when I turn on bluetooth on the galaxy s and search for devices, it simply doesn't find them...
Am I doing something wrong, sorry if this has been asked before, new to all this android stuff
Are you putting the headset into pairing mode before scanning for it?
Nope the headset simply has an on off button, it has a 0000 code and that's it ?
Usually a bluetooth headset has to be activated in pairing mode to be detectable for the first time. For example, holding the power button for several seconds etc. You may want to confirm with the instruction manual.
if you paired it the first time, it will automatically detect both features.
just for the record, my good old Motorola HT820 works fine with my SGS, loud and clear
I'm using the Sony Ericsson HBH DS-980 with my Galaxy S with no issues.

i have an slighly older model of this one
i stopped using it due the wires, it gets annoying, it reminds me too much of using regular wired headsets
sound is good only when you stuck the entire plug into your ears, but it hurts after a while
I had the HBH 970, it sucked when it comes to sound quality.
here is my brief review
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7215233&postcount=5
of all the BT stereo headsets i've ever used
Sorry people, thanks for your help and your right, I wasn't holding the button long enough to initially pair the device, DOH!!!
Works a treat now, I thought it couldn't be the device had to me, and it was...
Not quite the same problem as OP, but related to bluetooth headset:
Having problems with a Plantronics Backbeat 903 bluetooth headset connection to my Galaxy S.
(Long story, so stick with me here...)
When I intiate a pairing and connect, everything's fine, but if I shutdown/disconnect the headset and then turn on/connect the headset again later, it seems to have lost the 'media' connection ( but 'phone' connection still appears active).
So, I look in Settings/Wireless And Network/Bluetooth Settings/Backbeat9XX, then long press to bring up 'Options' I see a greyed out 'Media' option. I press this to 'activate' it, and all seems hunky dory, but the headset still doesn't work for 'media'. I go back in thru all the steps & find the 'Media' option greyed out again.
Rinse and repeat; same result. Again & again.
Bottom line: can't seem to get 'Media' active & stay that way.
This headset worked fine with my Motorola Milestone, BTW.
Maybe the A2DP 'stack' is screwy on my phone? How would I check this/change this?
Any ideas?
I have sony DR-BT50 which the quality is very good and so comfortable using it with my laptop or nokia n97 , but I can not discover it by my samsung galaxy s,
I bought a plantronics 903+. (bluetooth earphone, with microphone). However A500 cannot search it. I'm sure the 903+ works properly,because it works prefectly with my SonyEricsson X10.
I "googled" for more infoamtion... There are no useful so far. I think it's not the hardware problem,and it can be resolved by some software or a little MOD, am I right?
Would anyone help? Thanks very much in advance.!
Most Bluetooth headsets require a different power up procedure to connect it to another device. When you bought it, did you first connect it to the Sony phone? If so, you might wanna take a look at the headset's manual to find out how to properly put the headset into a discoverable mode. Most of the time it just requires powering the headset on by holding the power button for like 5-10 seconds rather than just pressing it once briefly.
ALSO, the Acer manual states "Only A2DP stereo headsets (without microphone) are supported."
With that said, you should still be able to search and find the headset, maybe even pair with it, but the tablet and the headset must support the same bluetooth profiles (Bluetooth 2.1+EDR & A2DP support)

Thanks! The earphone works properly with my Sony Ericsson phone. I think, "(without microphone)" is the problem...
"must support the same bluetooth profiles"...is it possible to add the profile in A500?
I'd check the headsets manual. Some headsets will only synk to one product.
Thanks for your response!
I am a fool... I double checked the manual. According to it, the earphone works perfectly.
Still, I am not sure why the X10 works well with it...
Whatever the problem is ok.
