    Sooo i finally decided i dont wanna pay a $2700 ticket for useing my phone...so i bought a Blue Parrot Blue Tooth thing and i cant get it to connect to my phone....my phone is a DROID2.


    So what am i doing wrong?


    I turned on the Blue tooth thing, turned on Blue Tooth on my phone, set it to detectable, and searched for blue tooth devices and i dont see anything that says Blue Parrot....I've seen videos of these things on YouTube and im not seeing it like that on my phone WTF!:biggrin_25510:



    Ima bout to throw this POS out the window:biggrin_2558:

    Turn the headset off...then phone bluetooth off....

    Turn phone bluetooth on.....then the headset....IN THAT ORDER....type in the pass code once it finds the headset. Should be zero,zero,zero,zero or 9999

    The instructions that came with it, are pretty simple. If you can handle a droid...you can handle bluetooth.

    Is the light on the blue tooth flashing red and blue while you are trying to connect? If not your phone won't recognise it. Press the button on the blue tooth until it starts flashing both colors then do a search with your phone.
