2.0 BT headset with Galaxy Player 4.0??

---

Hi,

I don't know too much about bluetooth, but I guess I assumed that these things were usually backward compatible. I bought a Samsung HM1100 bluetooth headphone which is BT 2.0 for use on my Palm Centro (don't laugh; it's ancient, but I like it) and for Skype on my SGP 4.0. Paired right away with my Palm, but my SGP can't see it. I see in the documentation that the SGP has BT 3.0, but - as I said - I thought that that would also work with 2.0 (also seeing that they are both Samsung products). Does anyone know if the SGP can not use BT 2.0 devices? If it can, any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.

I use a LG HBS-700 which is BT 2.1 just fine with my SGP 4.0 and honestly I can't see why your pairing wouldn't work.

From what Wikipedia says BT 3.0 is just higher data transfer which probably has nothing to do with low transfer rate devices like headsets. Anyway, I can confirm that the Galaxy Player 4.0 can use BT 2.1 so...I guess check your manual and make sure that you are properly pairing the devices. Obviously you've gotten it to work with your Palm, so the same procedure should work with the Samsung. Why isn't it? Meh, Android can be flaky sometimes. Every so often my headset won't show up so I just power it off then on again and I'm good to go.

Sorry, that's the best I can think of.
