I have the new iphone 4S (this is my first iphone) I am having trouble connecting to my bluetooth device - the iphone is searching for the device but won't recognize it (my bluetooth device is a jawbone)

My iphone 4s does not recognize my bluetooth device - I don't know why


My bluetooth device is a jawbone and I have turned it on and sitting next to my iphone which is searching for bluetooth devices but will not recognize it


Not sure why

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1

Thanks for the advice


I just tried turning the jawbone off and then turning it on and shaking it 4 times but the iphone 4s still won't recognize my jawbone


Do I need to unpair the jawbone from my blackberry first? And if so, how do I do that?

so after double shaking, is the ring flashing red +white? If it is not, then it is not in pairing mode. (I'm assuming you have the ERA) And you see nothing on the iphone? Nothing is found? Or is the device found, but not paired.


try placing the jawbone in pairing mode first, and then turn off/on the iphone blue tooth.


I don't think you need to unpair with the BB. But you can try. go to BB settings and there should be a way to forget the device.
