It's perfectly normal for it to say: Now discoverable as: and then the title of your phone such as Bill's iPhone 6 or whatever.
This is not an indication that there is anything wrong with your phone as far as pairing. Now if it actually says "device is now available for pairing as" I suppose this might indicate a problem. But as far as I know, your phone doesn't somehow have to hav modes switched in order to pair. Anything not yet paired but available usually appears under "other devices" after the list of your already-paired and/or connected devices. Ordinarily, after making the device you want to pair with your phone discoverable or in pairing mode, you tap on the icon on your phone for that device in "other devices" and it is paired either with or without a pin request; I haven't had to enter a pin with headphones but haven't used the plantronics. If the device isn't even showing up in "other devices" on your phone under "bluetooth" in Settings, either your phone isn't detecting it or your headset hasn't been made discoverable. Or something else is wrong. If you actually have a problem, you could try turning bluetooth off and back on again. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen LORD!!!

One suspicious characteristic of the Bluetooth settings screen on my iPhone is that it states: Device now available for pairing as "Bill's iPhone 6" This seems to imply to me that the iPhone 6 is the "client" device and is requiring that a "Server Device" attempt to pair with it rather than the iPhone driving the pairing procedure. If my presumption is correct, could anybody offer advice as how to force my iPhone 6 into "Server mode?" If I'm wrong (not hardly at all unlikely) could somebody offer advice as how to configure my iPhone 6 to recognize the Plantronix earphones?

The keys are almost full sized and although the folded keyboard will not fit in a shirt pocket, it folds to about 4 inches tall and 5 inches wide and comes with a nice case.

I used to own a stoway keyboard and like it very much. Unfortunately, it is no longer working. I have friend loaned me a Microsoft BT keyboard, other recommended the Logitech 811 keyboard, however, they are not foldable and may be little big to put in the pocket. I am looking for something that can be folded. I do use it a lot in meeting and church. Thanks in advance for the recommendation.
