Blackberry Curve
Bluetooth Problems
Having a Bluetooth device for your BlackBerry Curve is a great way to take your calls hands-free. When you set up your connection or have been using it for a while, you may run into some common issues with your BlackBerry Curve and your Bluetooth headset. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to solve common Bluetooth problems with your BlackBerry Curve.
Missed Connection
When you are trying to connect your phone to your Bluetooth device, you may not be able to establish a connection, and the phone will display a message like "Unable to Connect to Bluetooth Device." Many times, this is because of a missed connection. Because syncing the Bluetooth with the BlackBerry must be done with both devices entering synchronization mode simultaneously, if your timing is off, the connection won't work properly. To remedy simple connectivity issues, try to power off the phone and place the BlackBerry Curve and Bluetooth closer together.
Power
Another problem you may encounter when trying to use your Bluetooth device with your BlackBerry Curve is with the power. If both your headset and your BlackBerry are not fully charged, then they will not be able to sync up. It is important to let both devices charge fully before trying to sync.
Incompatibility
Certain Bluetooth headset models made by 3rd parties may be incompatible with the BlackBerry Curve, so it is important to buy Bluetooth headsets from your carrier to ensure compatibility. If you find that the Bluetooth headset you are using is wholly incompatible with your BlackBerry Curve, try returning it with your original receipt to the manufacturer's store for a refund.
Freezing
One big problem with the BlackBerry line of telephones as a whole is that sometimes they freeze, often for no reason. If you experience this while using a Bluetooth headset, power off the phone and then turn it back on. If this doesn't work, perform a hard reset by releasing the battery lock button on the back of your phone and pulling out the battery, and then waiting about 1 minute to replace it. Your phone will take about 5 minutes or so to reboot, but once it has, you should be able to use your phone without incident.
Reset Settings
If you have recently reset your BlackBerry Curve, your settings may have been set back to default, including your Bluetooth settings. If this happens, just re-sync your Bluetooth headset with your BlackBerry Curve to ensure functionality.
