Problem rediscovering headphones

    I bought the following bluetooth headphones to go with my iphone 3G - http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Bluetooth-Headphones/JVC/JVC-HA-W700BT-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headphones---iPhone-Compatible - They paired happily, and the quality was grand, volume controls worked but back and forward tracks didn't. Fine with that... However, if you switch off the headphones, the phone doesn't pick them up automatically next time you turn them on. It has to be prompted to make the connection again. Am I missing something in the setup? I don't see a "discover automatically" setting on there. Any suggestions?

    I use a bluetooth headphones for iphone and had some initial problems maintaining connection. Make sure that phone bluetooth is kept switched on.
    When you switch back on headphones (with mine you have to press and hold the 'on' button for 2+ secs), there should be a period where both devices come into phase. Might take a few goes before the connection comes to recognise device, but mine works just fine now.

    So does that mean that every time you switch off bluetooth on the phone, you need to repair? Burn.. I'd always switch it off when not in use...

    Initially i found i had to do 3/4 synchs to establish proper connection.
    There should be no need to resynch after this.
    Your phone should have a list of recognised devices when bluetooth is on. Check that your headphones are on it. That means you dont need to repair.
    It may be another problem such as distance to device or strength of signal.

    I haven't been expecting my A2DP headphones to automatically re-connect themselves. After I've enabled BT on the iPod Touch and powered on the headphones, I have to select them on the iPod BT screen and they come up in a couple of seconds. No re-pairing required, just telling the iPod to use them, in effect.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Mine will do that - so is that how they work, then? Mine aren't broken? Ok.. now to figure out how to put a shortcut to the BT settings on the main screen ;)

    Issue resolved - pressing the call button on the headphones makes the iphone pick them up. Yay :)
