Does it not ask your for the pass key when you try to pair the two?

[Dogs1985]

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

So what exactly happens when you try to pair the headset? Does it give you an error?

[Dogs1985]

directly say paring with headset failed.

[hotweiss]

directly say paring with headset failed.

Sorry for asking an obvious question, but are you first putting the headset into pairing mode?

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".

it's really work. it will prompt a message tell me to input the pin.
but.. is that really always need a terminal to finish paring with devices? i mean other new devices? cannot fix this bugs?

I'm using the 64 bit version now, but I just edited the instructions and included all of the dependencies that were asked for.
