20 Most Recent Motorola Mobility S9 Headphones - Page 3 Questions & Answers

I had the same problem with a Samsung phone. There are two ways of fixing this; First, you can remove the S9 profile from your phone's bluetooth list, and then add it again, going through pairing and entering 0000 on your phone when asked for the code.
Alternatively, you might try pressing the "play" button on the right earpiece on the Motorola S9. This is supposed to kick it into the A2DP stereo mode for music listening.
Good luck.
And get a copy of the manual from the Motorola web site at http://direct.motorola.com/ens/s9/Headset_Home.asp I found this very handy for checking what the little flashing lights mean. When you get stereo reception, the little LED in the middle of the headset flashes green, not the usual blue and red and purple for voice calls. 
In case you didn't know, as a phone headset, with the microphone activated, you only get sound in your left ear, and the light flashes blue. For music, you get both ears, and it flashes green. So if it ain't green, you are in mono mode.

HelloPlease press the power button for 10 seconds then the indication will keep blue instead of flickering. Then you can use your iphone search this earphone.Mobile Power Mall Solution

I just had the same issue. I charge my headset every day so I came to the conclusion that the short was due to a small piece of metal shorting out a connector in the chargeing port of the headset. I fixed it by first opening the charging cover and holding the headset by the ears in one hand. I then lightly tapped the opening against my other hand to loosen the metal shard. After doing this a few times, the sound came back. I then used a can of compressed air to finally flush out the intrusive shard. I didn't see how large it was but now my S9-HD headphones work! I'll check the connections on my 2 chargers to see if they have any evidence of breakage because I did notice when I plug in the set, I have to jiggle the connector a little recently.

when the red light is on while charging it means it is at less than 25% charge let it charge until the light is green
then tryy connecting it to the computer

When turning on hold down power button for about 4-6 sec. light will start to alternate colors (pairing mode)

I had the same problem but instead of a red light it would flash green twice and stay off. I could not find the original charger and another plug in charger would not work. I plugged it into my computer with a usb cable and after several seconds it started charging.

Left hand earpiece with the telephone icon - "+" to turn up and "-" to turn down

I just hooked it up with a usb sync cable to my computer. It was installed and ready to use and the charging light came on. Seems like it is charging as the led went from red to yellow, and it does turn on now. However, it still does not work with the usb cable plugged into a wall charger. If this solution works for others having the same issue kindly post your results.

Default is 0000

i think 9 times out of 10 replacing the battery will take too much time and hassle
even if you open it up get the battery out finding a perfect match for the battery will be hard getting all the voltages capacity of the battery size

if i was you i would get a new one from ebay or something

Hey Michael. Are the s9s already paired with another device? If so.... You might want to try turning off both the s9 and the device that's already paired. Then try repairing new device with s9s. Good luck.

Hello,..... when pair the S9 you must press and hold down the power on button till the led flashes blue and red...at this point it will be in pairing mode....

Blue (three flashes) powering on/enabling indicator light

Blue (steady) pairing mode

Blue with 10 quick purple flashes
pairing successful

Blue (long flash)
standby (connected but not
on a call or streaming music)

Blue (quick flash)
incoming call

Blue (long pulse)
on a call

these are all the normal blue flashes that the s9 makes

From Falvey86: Hold the headset start button for about 10 to 20 seconds, the lights will start flashing red and blue, then the search for Bluetooth devices from phone and it will appear as: S9. press "connect", a window will appear, place the password "0000", that should do the trick!!!!

Make your phone (I'm assuming) forget the S-9 and search for Bluetooth devices again. It will find it again, but it won't be paired. Press whatever button on your phone that makes it connect and it should work. I've been searching for answers and racking my brain. Finally, I just tried this and it worked! What a relief...

If you guys haven't found a solution, you might want to try this out. Have your S9 charger hooked up to the unit and plug the charger into a surge protector. Flick the main switch of the surge protector on and off a few times and it should turn off the unit. Then turn on and pair if need to and it should be fine. Hope that works for ya!
