Bluetooth Stuck Searching

iDevices have a very limited number of BT profiles. If you are trying to connect to do file transfer FTP is not one of the profiles included. If you need BT this bad I would return the devices if you are in the return period or sell them if not and buy something that includes Bluetooth FTP.

Basically you can use BT on iDevices for Handsfree, A2DP (stereo BT), PAN for tethering and exchanging photos between iDevices, game playing or tethering, and Headset.

No, they won't see each other. Since neither the iPod nor the iPhone can be used as a headset, external speakers, etc. they won't see each other. You can download a game, such as bismarck (Battleship by another name) and they will see each other through the game.

It is normal for it to keep searching while in the BT settings. Does it on all iDevices. If you are trying to connect to a headset make sure it is in discoverable mode.

Reset both iDevices and try the game again. You connect through the game, not in Settings.

I use a Plantronics headset and have no issues with it.

I've played that game through iDevices so it does work.

Sorry, would have helped you with your rationalization if you had said something. Here:

No, Bluetooth on the iPhone will not work with headsets that you had prior to buying them and that were previously used other devices. You need to go and buy a new model.

Hope this helps.

You are very welcome. Post back and let me know which new headset you buy and how you like it. And who wins the game.
