Guys,
This seems like a very odd issue since some of us are able to connect to devices that others cannot (eg I can connect to the Jawbone Jambox (Big One) fine).
I also tried the 'Network Settings Reset' but it did no good.
My problem is with a handheld Bluetooth headset called by Native Union called the Moshi MM03i. Here is my story:
I've had my MM03i for awhile and loved using it with my iPhone 4 (IOS 5.0.1), however, I just got a new iPhone 4S (5.1.1), and I cannot pair the new phone. (also, when I updated my iPhone 4 to 5.1.1, it won't pair now either).
When I attempt to pair, the MM03i will radomly switch off before the 4S is done pairing so I get the error "Pairing Unsuccessful. Make sure 'MM03' is turned on, in range, and is ready to pair."
In a nutshell I do the following:
1 Go into Bluetooth on 4S so it is discoverable
2 Hold down Multi-fuction button on MM03i to put it in pairing mode
3 Press 'MM03 Not Paired' device on 4S
4 After a minute, the MM03i stops flashing red/blue and turns off
I get the error on iPhone that states "Pairing Unsuccessful. Make sure 'MM03' is turned on, in range, and is ready to pair."
I've also tried to delete the current phone pairings on the MM03i by putting it in the cradle and holding the multi-function button for 5 seconds, and I followed your instructions to attempt to clear the paired list but "Vol-" button does nothing.
It seems like this is a definately an ISO 5.1.1 issue.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
