I'm getting the same problem. I was able to use the headset for a 20 min call but then it died right after that. Now most calls IF it does work last only a few seconds. I'm wondering if I get a Ericsson Bluetooth headset if it work better?
Have you had any luck? |

I'd take it back and try and get another, if it still doesn't work try another make, or you could get them to try in the shop you got it from, they may see somewhere you're going wrong that you haven't noticed. Just an idea. Hope you get it sorted |

Aye, I'm going to pass by the store on my way home today. Problem was at the store near my home they told me this only works with the Motorola phones but at another store and on this forum I was told it would work. Hopefully just a new headset will fix it.
Also the sw on my t68 is R2b013, do I need the new sw for it to work with  1.1? |

Personally, I too feel that the Motorola bluetooth headset is much cooler looking than the ericsson one. May try getting the former instead of the latter due to the "form" appeal. |

Well I went back to the ATT store and switched the headsets and I'm happy to say it works GREAT. I brough it home and charged it up and reset my phone back to the factory settings. I then had the phone detect the headset and it works great now. Not running into any problems and I've made a few calls already. The headset is light enough I'll use it around the house when I need my hands free.
I admit I though it looked builky and wanted the ericsson HBH-15 but after holding both in my hands I find the motorola a lot easier to carry around and by closing the boom I dont have to worry about it breaking off 
This will keep me happy till the bluespoon is availble. Thx all for you help. |

If your t68 doesn't find your Motorola headset easily/always, try to reset the headset. You have to open its cover for that, but it did help us. |

Is it safe to open the cover? |

The manual said all you need to do is to plug the headset into the power adapter for 5 seconds for that. But that didnt work for the one I had before I exchanged it.
I assume you should be able to open part of it to change the battery but if it's working I ant going to mess with it |

I've just ordered two from Expansys, but they're taking forever and now F*ckExpress has taken over so I suppose I'll get my headsets when something new comes out...

right you lot.....listen up!!! joke. i had the same problem of my motorola headset not pairing.
this is what you do... 1) tun on the headset WHILE it is shut until the blue light comes onAND STAYS ON CONSTANTLY!!! 2) now go to paired items on your phone and add new. it should find the headset no probs 3) enter pass key...might take one or two attempts. the reason you guys are having probs is cos the headset is flashing when you try pairing it. it must stay on constatly. hope it helps Jag

The problem wasnt the part about pairing it. Those instructions are the same ones that are given on the quickstart guide. I think a few of us just had a faulting one. After adding it, it would work for a few minutes and then just go out and get lost.
I exchanged mine and the new one works great. After pairing it I havent had a problem using it at all. I use the botton on the headset to activate the voice dialing and to answer calls all the time. Been using it for a few days strait without a problem. |

I had loads of probs pairing mine, but then I opened it and press a little button (don't even know if it's the one you were talking about) but afterwards, it worked fine.... I do think the low volume is VERY disturbing..... I don't think I'm going to keep it.... I can't really use it, cos of the sound.... It does look cool though...
Oh yeah... do you guys have a lag between pressing the button and waiting for you phone to respond???

1. Yes, there is a slight lag.
2. The top of the earpiece could use a bit more padding, it hurts slightly to wear it all day. You keep squeezing your ear more each time you answer the phone by pressing the little headset button.
3. The battery life is not that wonderful.
