Recently my bluetooth headset quit working with my Motorola e815 just days outside of the warranty period. This annoyed me more than anything. Despite my greatest attempts, I could not get my cell phone to pair to my bluetooth headset. So the question becomes, how do you get your headset to pair with your bluetooth phone when you know both should be in fine working order. I knew neither had suffered extreme heat, water, or great impacts. I even went as far as to try a suggestion that seemed to work for someone else, and I thought it was worth the try. It didn’t work for me, but you can try it if you’d like. Follow these steps:

  1. Reset all options except unlock code, security code, and lifetime timer: (Motorola e815)
  2. Menu > Settings > Initial Setup > Master Reset
  3. To reset all options, you need to enter the Security Code (000000).

If you follow these steps, you will reset ALL features for the phone - your contacts, dials calls, pictures, ring tones, etc will be SAFE. Features like the selected ring tone, your background, your front menu settings will all be reset to factory defaults. Let me tell you, it is one of the more annoying things to have to go backwards in time with all of these options. I was resetting options for the next week. Each day I would find one more option that I hadn’t yet changed to the way I like to use my phone.

Anyway - we are getting off topic. After trying this, several other methods - including removing the recognition of the headset from my phone and trying a brand new pair, etc - it still failed. Any of these methods may or may not work for you. Do you want to know what worked for me? I did nothing for the next three weeks to either my phone or my headset. I removed the pairing from my phone one last time and put the headset on the corner of my desk. Just yesterday, for the first time in three weeks I picked it up, turned it on, and my phone automatically discovered it and paired (After asking for the password of course).

Have you lost your password for your bluetooth device? I’m sure you can find it with a quick google search - but try the passkey ‘0000′ (four zeros) to see if that lets you in. All of this to say - electronics can be funny things. Just when you think you’ve been beat, they decide to work with you again. It’s almost like it knew. Truth be told - I was actually just hours away from leaving the house, one of my stops was going to be a store to pick up a new headset. If you have the time and patience, try saving yourself $70 or more.
