Re: Bluetooth headset
no. didn't prompt any things to ask me input the device passkey. just direct use 0000, i think many phone is using 0000?

Sorry for asking an obvious question, but are you first putting the headset into pairing mode?Dogs1985 wrote:directly say paring with headset failed.
Re: Bluetooth headset
i hold with 8 second, then use bluetooth applet to search it. after see the devices, i directly connect it. i say the message write using 0000 key to connect that devices. after that it display failed to paring that devices.
but the device is using key "8888". not "0000".
but the device is using key "8888". not "0000".
