SBH80 - does it work with iPhone 4 at all?

EllaA — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:20:19 GMT

Bought SBH80 headphones last week because they can support 2 devices.

Easily paired it to Xperia Z Ultra - looks cool and works fine

My problem: cannot pair it with my second device: IPhone (#4, updated to the latest software version 7.1.2)

My Iphone does not list the SBH80 under the list of bluetooth devices. It lists only bluetooth from the car (paired earlier), keeps searching for new devices, claims it is visible itself --- and nothing happens.

How can I make SBH80 visible to my IPhone?

believe me I tried to read it.

the docu suggests:

To manually pair your headset with a second device

After manually pairing the first device with your headset, repeat the same instruction steps that describe how to manually pair your headset with another device.

And

To manually pair your headset with a Bluetooth device

1Bluetooth device:Make sure the Bluetooth function is turned on.

2Turn off your headset.

3Headset: Press and hold down until the headset vibrates and a cyan-coloured notification light flashes continuously.

4Bluetooth device: Scan for Bluetooth devices, then select Stereo Bluetooth Headset SBH80 in the list of available devices.

5Bluetooth device: Follow the pairing instructions that appear on the screen.

My point is that IPhone does not see SBH80 in the list of available devices.

Can anyone confirm that SBH80 works with IPhone 4 at all?

after several times switching on and off it worked

So I guess it was a matter of reading the manual thoroughly ...

have now both XPeria Z Ultra and IPhone4 paired.

Another problem:

Once I switch on the SBH80, it gets connected automatically only with one device, another has to be connected manually.

Annoying, and I understand some other users have this too. Would be good to hear if there is remedy for this.

And another problem with XPeria Z Ultra, what is much more annoying: sometimes SBH80 gets commected ok, and sometimes a weird program "Throw" shows up. And then thow it says SBH80 is connected, in fact it is not (the sound comes via Xperia). Is there a way to "throw away" this Throw?
