Question posted by realtor77130 on March 5th, 2013

Iphone 4

I have updated my Iphone ios to 6.1.2 and now it will not pair with HCB-108. Similar problem occured with ios 6.1, but somehow I was able to pair it. I have been trying for a few days and have tried everything I could think of. Resesting the phone, reseting the HCB etc... Hcb still works with Motorola phone, and Iphone works with Motorola earphone. Is there a solution at all?

Requests for more information

Sorry I thought I was clear when I told I did try everything I could think of.  The iphone recognize the HCB, but will not pair. And yes I did put the HCB in pairing mode, otherwise iphone simply does not see it. What makes me angry is that everything worked fine up to ios 6.1 and in my search on the web it seems that Apple refuse to acknowledge this as a problem.

And where is the problem? iPhone don't find the device, or it is not working after pairing...?

If phone cant find device, you probably forgot to put it in pairing mode. To do so, pres and hold for two seconds + and -. Then bluetooth indicator should be flashing blue. Then search for BT devices in your phone.

For more info look into manual.

Eureka! I have started the Iphone in safe mode and when pairing I have  finally got a passcode menu. When I have entered 0000 (default pairing code) Iphone connected with the HCB-108. After returning to normal mode Iphone is still connected. I do not undersand why it works but.... BTW, I have jailbreaked my Iphone and installed sbseetings in order to enter Iphone safe mode. Maybe there is another way but this one worked for me.

In manual is that phone should be in visible mode too. Most phones are after BT on not in visible state. 

And maybe is it some "special apple feature" and you have to buy apple HF.

It would not suprise me.
