Bluetooth will not stop searching

I had the same prob... I don't use my headset more than like once a month normally so I just gave up on it... Sorry I don't have an answer but at least you know it isn't just your phone.. 
The headset may not be built to function with iPhone, especially if the headset is older than the device.
What is the model of the Bluetooth headset you're using?
What generation iPhone do you own?
These are all important factors when it comes to pairing the appropriate device.
If it does pair with the device, does it have all the proper functions? Do all the buttons on the device interface properly with iPhone (i.e. Pressing a button ends a call, redials the last number, etc.)?

You may just need to delete the BT's that are paired on the iPhone and start from scratch. Sometimes you may have more than one BT in the area, causing the iPhone to be confused b/c it continues to search even after it's paired. I ran in to the same situation...
Yes, but it's only searching while you're in the Bluetooth screen. Like bigjnyc said, get out of that screen, and it'll stop.
My Bluetooth works perfectly well, and stays paired, but when I go to Bluetooth preferences, it starts searching again. It's not a problem, AFAIK.

it's a plantronics 320 and i got the white 16gb 3g iphone. the bluetooth works perfectly. the name of my BT is even shown in the BT menu. Just wanted to confirm with everyone that uses BT's have the same thing going on, on their screens. thank you everyone that replied.
did you fix the problem or is it still doing it? i've tried it 2 times and it still spins, lol.You may just need to delete the BT's that are paired on the iPhone and start from scratch.

As long as you are in the Bluetooth screen, it is going to look for other BT devices. This is completely normal. Once you exit, it will no longer search.
