New Galaxy s5. My bluetooth doesn't show as a device to pair with. Can't attempt to pair it if it doesn't show in list. This bluetooth always works well with my Razr. S5 works well with car bluetooth.
Help.
Thanks,
Omniderb:)

Don't know how. Thought it would automatically find it.

Firstly, welcome to Android Forums! :ciao: We're glad to have you here :)

What sort of Bluetooth device are you attempting to pair with? Most will have to be put in a special "pairing mode" for the first connection to a phone. This mode allows the device to continuously broadcast its availability; if it did that all the time, the device's battery would drain very quickly.

So you'll need to figure out how to put your BT device into Pairing Mode (or "Make Discoverable" - it may be worded differently). If you'll tell us what it is, we should be able to help you with the needed steps. :thumbup:
 
It is a Plantronics.
When I go to Settings/Bluetooth I don't see anything to make the plantronics discoverable. The three little dots in the upper right corner don't have 'make discoverable' as an option.
