Bluetooth Problem

molley · 04-10-2009, 12:06

I bought a Samsung Bluetooth Headset a few days ago and the listing said it was compatible with a SE W910i.
I tried it and the phone couldn't pair with it .I updated the phone software but still no joy so thinking it was faulty I e-mailed the supplier and they asked me to send it back .
Since doing that,however,I have found that the phone doesn't pick up any Bluetooth devices although my other W300i does so looks like the problem is with the W910i.

Is it possible that the "Bluetooth" part of my phone is faulty even though everything else seems to be working OK? Anyone else experienced this .I did try switching BT and the phone on and off a few times

Have you set the bluetooth headset to 'discoverable'? Just switching it 'on' isn't usually enough for a phone to pick it up first time.

Have you got other bluetooth devices to try? Could be your phone is faulty.

I've only got another 'phone at the moment but only got one Sim . I might have a BT dongle hiding somewhere if I can find it .
I've not heard of just the BT on a 'phone dying but spose it does happen .
