iPhone does not automaticly connect to headset

I have a bluetooth handsfree speaker thing called "Supertooth II" - which works perfect with all phones i have tried.

I can pair it without any problems with iPhone and it works fine after pairing. But when i get out of range, or the handsfree is shut off - the phone obviously looses connection. The problem is that it will not connect again when in range. Status just says "Paired". Only way to get it working again is to remove the device from the phone and pair it again. Then it will work again until next time it looses connection.

Does anyone know what to do?

I had the same issue with Aliph Jawbone -just tried the unpair and and pair again after make both discoverable seemed to do the trick for me.

Thank goodness I stumbled onto this thread as I just received my jawbone a few days ago (thought I broke it)

Mine reconnects by pressing the Supertooth II Pickup/Hangup Button once. This is also needed after turning the Supertooth II on (bringing swivel out). Glancing at other types of phones in the Supertooth II user manual, this seems to be a common procedure

Haha, that's really funny - it's been a week since i posted this thread, and i just decided to play some more with the supertooth again an hour ago, to discover the exact same thing: Pressing the button for 1 second makes the iphone connect!

What an coincident that you posted that right after i noticed it myself 🙂

Wonder why the iphone won't connect to it automaticly though, like all other phones i have. I think all other phones connect automaticly if a call is going in/out - they probably starts scanning for bluetooth everytime that happens.

Anyway, thanks for your reply! I can live with this solution :P

Dear chaps
I had the same problem of connecting and staying paired with Jabra Bluetooth handsfree.
Solution is awkward, but works: when you want to connect to handsfree again, unpair and then pair again (after making both devices discovarable).
