My phone does not detect my Samsung headphone

[#1]

Hi,

I bought my Sony Experia Neo V a couple of weeks back. I upgraded to ICS immediately after I bought it. I even installed the new ICS update that I received as a prompt on my phone today morning.

I use a Samsung bluetooth headset to take conference calls when I drive. My phone is not able to detect the bluetooth headset. Not sure of the reason for the same. But I am able to pair my phone with my laptop. It even paired with a Samsung Galaxy Fit phone. Both occasions, it took a very long time to detect the devices though.

In the case of the bluetooth headset, the phone does not detect the device inspite of keeping it close to each other for more than 5-10 mins.

Any suggestions?

were you able to pair it before ICS?

Consider checking the Samsung manual for instructions about how to put the headset in "pairing" mode.

Headsets (unlike most phones and computers) need to be in this special mode before being able to be detected by another device.
