[Q] Plantronics Discovery 925

---

My phone wouldn't recognize my new Plantronics Discovery 925 headset. I tried pairing with a samsung headset too, it wouldn't recognize that either. But my phone recognizes other phones and works fine. Please help.

First and foremost, what ROM are you running? Are you on stock? Rooted? What modifications have you made, as those are the most likely culprits.

If the answer to all the above questions (save for stock) are no then I perhaps asking Plantronics or google about your phone/headset might work better as its likely that one or the other is defective.

I bought the phone only a week back and I have not made any changes to it. In fact my friend and I got our phones together. His phone is not recognizing the headset too. But my headset works fine with other phones of any make.

I have and use that specific headset on my Nexus S. And it works and pairs right away. Have you tried resetting the bluetooth before pairing?

Did you do anything particular before connecting your headset or did it just show up on the devices list?

Resetting the bluetooth as in switching on and off? Yes, I did.

Sorry, I dont understand. How do i set the headset to pairing mode? Please explain.

Folks, I finally managed to pair my headset with the phone. It is working fine now. Here is what I was doing wrong. I was trying to pair my device with the phone by just switching on the device and scanning for devices on my phone. When I try to scan, the device would not show up on the list.

This is because, the device was not in pairing mode. In the Plantronics Discovery 925, you need to switch off the device, power it on back by holding the power button and keep holding it until it flashes red and blue. This is when the device gets into pairing mode and it shows up on the phone's list. All this has to be done while the phone's bluetooth is ON and it is scanning for devices.

Hope this might help someone. My thanks to all those who cared to reply.

That's great you figured it out.
but here's for future reference:


Plantronics Discovery 925 (Pairing)

Pairing the Plantronics Discovery 925 to Your Cell Phone
1.Put your phone into pairing mode
This can usually be accomplished by going under settings in your menu and selecting Bluetooth. Follow the prompts to "find a new device." If you are having problems, refer to your phone's user guide.

2.Put your Discovery 925 into pairing mode
Start with your headset off. Press and hold the call button until the indicator flashes red and blue.

3.Select the headset in your phone's Bluetooth device menu and enter in universal key
Your phone may or may not ask you to enter in a key code. If it does, the code is always four zeros: 0000

4.You are paired up!

That is a rather ridiculous process, with my motorola I just have to flip the mic boom open and it works.
