What should I do if my Bluetooth handset is not showing up on my cell phone?

Check both devices, and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on. Next, use your phone to scan for the headset. If the problem persists, check to see if they are compatible. This may involve checking the packaging, manual, and the internet.

Question

What can I do if I don't know the password?

Community Answer

On the majority of headsets, this code is either "0000,” “1234,” “9999” or “0001.” If none of those work, try the last 4 digits of your headset’s serial number (found underneath the battery, labeled as “s/n” or “serial number”).

Question

I am using a Samsung Grand Prime G531, but the Bluetooth headphone is not connected. This headphone will connect to other cellphones without issues. How do I make it connect to the Samsung?

Community Answer

Some wireless Bluetooth headphones can only connect to a certain type of phone. Look at the box and read the paper inside to see if your phone is compatible to your Samsung Grand Prime G531. If it says it is compatible, then look at the instructions because Bluetooth headphones sometimes hook up instantly and sometimes need to be set up manually.
