Bluetooth Audio

[Guest G Simmons]

:( I am usually pretty tech savvy, but somehow I find that I am actually asking a question on a forum and this further exasperates the situation.

In my right hand I have my i910; in my left hand I have a Motorola S9 headset.

This is what I did.

I turned on the headset.

I went into the bluetooth settings of the phone and hit add a new device.

Wait for it to find my headset

press Motorola s9

I add the S9 with no passcode.

Now it says my device is connected.

In the details I have a check on "wireless stereo" and "hands free"

I as pressed "set as hands free" and "set as wireless stereo"

I call myself - the sound comes through the phone

I go to touch player - the sound comes out the phone.

What did I miss? I am trying very hard to remain calm and not throw this thing at a wall. This book labeled "instruction manual" lists features but gives me almost no useful information.

>>>>> Thank you for your help all

The problem was a combination of a poorly written manual for the headphones and a mis-translation on my part. Now I know how to say purple in Chinese

Turn off the BT device and turn it back on. Fixes it for me most of the time. Make sure the Headphone icon with a music note is on the taskbar first.

Thank you both for your help. I'm trying everything I can. It still doesn't work though. Jesus! I can't wait until May -I am outta here. I bought this phone because I didn't want to switch to ATT (Verizon has superior service in the US for all you Europeans on here). But I think I'm going to have to, once my contract is up.

The problem is that everything which is somehow associated with Windows seems to be unnecessarily complicated -or just doesn't work. Crap is the word I think. I mean, if it's not windows media player being confused about the "my storage" disk, it's Verizon ensuring that even though I am connected to WIFI, I am wasting money on EVDO anyway.

I've been a Mac user since 2000; you'd think I'd buy an iPhone, but noooo, I had to get this $300 phone with the $40 headset (that does nothing) and a dongle for the headphones -A DONGLE!

I mean I wouldn't even care about this bluetooth business if it weren't for the dongle. Why on earth did they let this thing come out with a dongle? I can't even put it in my pocket and listen to music without fear of snaping the precious dongle. Who makes Dongles? Who is in the business of Dongle Manufacturing in 2009? Do they also partition some of their factory for Zip Disk construction? Hmm? Is that whats poppin' in the streets? Zip Disks?

May can't get here any faster? I think I'm going to sell this headset and buy some Iomega stock. It's gotta be a penny stock by now.

Make sure you get the little headphone icon on the taskbar before you run stuff. You may have also have installed something that borked the BT.

Don't know why it doesn't work for you, I've never had a problem with BT audio. Have fun with BT stereo on the iPhone, because it can't do that. Enjoy being able to run programs that you can have a say in how they are devoloped, scratch that. Enjoy being able to Have AIM running while you... can't do that either. At lease one good thing about the iPhone, is that at some point you may have a remote chance of running flash websites.

I agree, it is a whole lot easier to complain about something and blame the device, otherwise Macs would not have any place in the world for the 'pebkec' group.

A DONGLE!

HAHAHAHA i know!!!!!! that was seriously the only thing that ALMOST made me go with the BB Storm. If it had a 3.5mm jack, or even a 2.5mm one, i would not have even thought twice about it!!!!

what kept me here? I guess that its the hope that verizon will UNLOCK the GPS so i can use my garmin xt on it and the WMwifiRouter!

--- also, the dongle would not have been horrible, if the cord wasnt 3 feet long! i could jump rope with it!

A lot of people seem to be easily using my exact headset and I don't have the little headset icon. So, I'm going to assume the issue is the headset and not the phone. After all, it's cheaper. After reading the manual to my headset, I'm starting to think it's not a genuine Motorola product.

No seriously, I bought it in Hong Kong. I think that's the problem.

But whatever, windows still blows. Don't hate on mac users.

I wouldn't be worried about BT Stereo on an iPhone. Know why?

It ain't got no dongle! LMAO

But I see your point.. too much complaining
