Bluetooth My husband and I both have upgraded to G1 phones and neither phone will connect to bluetooth, we have tried with several phones, we can pair up to another phone (and each other) but when we try and send something neither G1 phones will be found despite us ticking the discoverable tab. The phone manual does not list anything like this. Can you help please as we are at a loss as what we are missing. Many thanks

iPhones are funny things, but I could not function without mine. Try clearing all the devices out of the car and then reinstalling each device again. Make sure the Bluetooth button is enabled on the phone, if the vehicle assigns an importance number to the phone, label yours number 1, and your husbands number 2. Sorry hubby, it's her car and she has calls to make.

How to pair and then connect to a Bluetooth device on your T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone.
1. First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
2. From the Home screen, press Menu.
3. Select Settings.
4. Select Wireless controls.
5. Select Bluetooth settings.
6. The G1 starts searching for Bluetooth devices in range. Select the device when it appears.
7. Type the PIN for the device.
8. The device should then pair with the G1. You can then select the device name to connect.
Bluetooth only supports ad2p profiles for headsets, music, and sharing of contacts and pictures. This is limited by VZ. Until the phone is rooted, there is absolutely no way around this. You cannot send files other than contacts and pictures via bluetooth.

It sucks... I know. I am in the same boat. I am [im]patiently waiting for the droid to be rooted so I can use bluetooth to share files between two droids.

HTC G1 android does not come with file transfer over bluetooth. What you have to do is root your phone and download apps like blueX to transfer files thru bluetooth. hope this helps

U can connect your mobile to bluetooth headset. In bluetooth option there with be "Search for audio enhancement" option it will find out if your bluetooth headset is on and working. If u connect you can hear thru bluetooth. Pls vote for me if my suggestion is helpful.

You need to pair your phone with your bluetooth headset.

1. Turn on your phone's bluetooth and search for bluetooth devices.
2. While the phoneis searching and the BT headset is off, press and hold the call/end button on the bluetooth headset until it's light glows steadily. Do not let go until the phone finds it.
3. Pair the devices and allow the BT headset to connect automatically.
4. To connect, press and hold call/end button on BT headset like the one in step 2.

you need to pair the devices in order to connect and use the bluetooth. Its for security reasons.
once the pairing is done you can use it
to pair go to bluetooth menu then options or configuration >devices>add new

now search everything will be fine

I would suggest taking the battery out when the phone is powered on. Replace the battery and try to re-pair the set.

If that doesn't work, then its likely the bluetooth module in your phone is broken. You can validate this by pairing the bluetooth with another handset.

The T-Mobile G1 doesn't actually support file transfer through bluetooth :S So it's not faulty, it's just not programmed to do that. Sorry! However it should be able to find your bluetooth headset, it always finds mine. Maybe the headset is faulty?

Hello my name is Jennifer. Is there a wat to connect my G1 to my car stereo via tape deck or cd playerr?

Hi
I was trying to transfer some ringtones from old phone to G1 and facing the same problem.
And now somewhere from net I found the solution to my problem.
Although it could not be done by bluetooth, but my problem is solved now.
You can also try it. It may help you out.

> Transfer ringtones/music/photos from your phone to Desktop
> Connect G1 to Desktop by USB cable
> On the top of G1 screen it will show the icon of USB (connected)
> Scroll down from the icon and select 'copy files from computer'
> Select 'Mount'
> On desktop a massage will appear, click 'open folder & show files'.
> Copy & Paste files from computer to G1. Now your files are in G1
> If you want to set any song as ringtone press & hold that song, a menu will appear and you can select 'set as ringtone'
