Bluetooth issues....with Iphone 4

I was with Tmobile for 9 years and less than 2 weeks ago I switched to AT&T. Great Iphone 4 we both got and a good plan.
The problem is the bluetooth being dropped all the time and muffled sound and or hearing every other word. This is a HUGE issue with me being in the medical field and using 5 to 6000 min/month all on bluetooth. Never had a problem with my 3G. After looking in the Apple site and finding this IS a issue ...I am open to any way to resolve this? I am very good with resolving issues, however, after two new Jawbones and reading the complaints...it is not me or the bluetooth.
People should be advised of this issue when purchasing.
Thank you for your time and pleae advise!

Hi, I am an old ATT customer new to the Iphone 4 on 4.2.1. I LOVE THIS phone BUT....I am on my third one in less than three months because of this bluetooth issue. I have a BlueAnt Q2 (my fav), an old Motorola 720, a new Motorola HD 17, and none of them works right consistently with this phone. I reset, I pair and repair the bluetooth headset, I reset the network settings, I turn the phone and headset on and off, I restore the phone, and it still does work as good as my old LG Shine (the original version) or my old Samsung Propel Pro. This makes me very sad because I live on my bluetooth so that I can talk and use my hands at the same time. If Apple fixed this my life would be immeasurably better.

8.1 did not fix Bluetooth issue with iPhone 5 and car

8.1 didn't fix my issue with Bluetooth. I can receive calls and play music thru my Mazda CX-9 but I cannot make outgoing calls. My daughter has same issue with her iPhone 5 in her car so it has to be glitch with Apple yet. Please help. I'm so totally frustrated and I'm not eligible for iPhone 6 until January.

I found there is another contact group list as part of the Bluetooth sync menu; altering that took care of the issue.
This is a non-issue.

Bluetooth issues with iPhone 5

Is anyone experiencing connection issues since updating? Since updating iPhone 4 w/iOS 6 I've been experiencing Bluetooth connectivity with VW Jetta 2012. Now I have the iPhone 5 & it's still an issue. Which leads me to believe its the iOS 6 update. It works and then it doesn't. Very frustrating. And in most cases it connects but allows no controls using car stereo as before. All you see is "Bluetooth audio" on car stereo dash.

My Harman Kardon BT Headphones keep cutting out intermittently. I found that the music would stop streaming to the headphone but it would continue playing on the phone. To get the music back I had to keep pressing the play button on both my iphone and headphone and it would eventually come back. Is it an issue with the 5 or is it my new headphones?
Had issues too. RESET my Jawbone Icon per online PDF and removed from iPhone and re paired no problem now.

Bluetooth issue with iPhone 4 and Mercedes Benz

I just received my iphone 4 today and it has a huge problem. When my previous iPhone 3GS was paired with my Mercedes Benz bluetooth telephone system, within seconds the address book was loaded. This continued to work well even after I upgraded it to iOS4. HOWEVER, my new iPhone4 will not sync the address book. This is extremely annoying considering my iphone sits in my glove box connected so that my itunes audio plays through my car audio.
Since I spend a great deal of time driving, this problem is big enough that it may cause me to return the iPhone4 and stick with the older model.

If you have the long futuristic puck in the center console here are the instructions I follow - works every time on my 2009 S550:
Important: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU - this will just mess you up *
Repeat: * DON'T USE THE COMAND ON-SCREEN MENU at all for this *
1) Put your iPhone on the bluetooth settings screen (Settings-General-Bluetooth)
2) Press the Mercedes logo on the center console puck for 3 seconds (it's actually a button, puck will flash blue)
3) Car might show up as "Hands-free" or "MB PhoneSystem" on the iPhone - select it
4) It will ask for a code - the number is always 62872
That's it! Let me know if you have any trouble.
p.s. phone book might take 2-3 minutes to upload each time - this is normal.

IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:
Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
(note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well. Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
Good luck.

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Anyone noted Bluetooth connection issues with iPhone 4s and Ford sync?

My wifes iPhone 4 with IOS 5.0.1 auto connects to Ford Sync at least 75% of the time on first attempt. My new iPhone 4S with IOS 5.0.1 takes 4-5 attempts and rarely if ever connects without multiple attempts. Any one else seeing issues with failed Bluetooth connections with iPhone 4S phones?

Look at the right panel for links to other threads concerning problems with Fords. And it's not just Fords, cars in general. No solutions seem to be given.

Bluetooth issues w/ IPhone 6 & Chevy Traverse

I Had the iPhone 5 and my Bluetooth worked great in my Chevy traverse. Now that I have the iPhone 6 I am experiencing constant issues with the Bluetooth and traverse functions. The phone number shown on incoming and outgoing calls does not match the actual number, the vehicle buttons don't answer incoming calls, the Bluetooth connection seems to drop after you make the 1st call once connected (2nd call made requires disconnect and reconnect to work). Is any one else experiencing Bluetooth issues with their vehicle or with the Chevy traverse? Anyone know how to fix these issues?
thanks,
Robert

Hello Rjshimanek3,
I have an issue with bluetooth on iPhone 6 Plus not working properly with my car as well. My iPhone 5 worked fine with the car. My iPhone 5 used to have iOS 7.1 and it worked. I upgraded my iPhone 5 to 8.0 (a few days before iPhone 6/6+ available in the store) and it also worked. Now my iPhone 6 plus did not seem to work with my car BT properly. If I play music, I can hear the sound through my speakers. However, when I placed a phone call using BT in the car, it dialed out but as soon as the call is connected, the audio source (as seen from the iPhone 6 plus screen) switched from car BT to just "iPhone". Most of the times now when I tried to connected my iPhone 6 Plus to the car BT, my car menu is frozen like the phone is dialing out, which it is not doing. So I have to turn off BT of the iPhone 6 Plus in the car.
Here are a few things that I tried
> I tried to delete the bluetooth device from my car and repaired it and it did not work
> I tried to reset network settings from the iPhone 6 plus and repaired it with the car BT and it did not work
> I tried to restart the iPhone 6 plus and repaid it with car BT and it did not work
> I upgraded iPhone 6 plus to latest iOS 8.0.2 and it did not work with my car BT
> I tried my iPhone 6 plus on another car (same make though, different model) and similarly can't make phone call and car menu frozen with "dialing" on the screen.
I would like to try my car BT with another iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 + which I don't have so I can see if it's my particular iPhone 6 plus or the car. At this point, I am thinking.
I'd like to hear if others are having issue with Bluetooth on iPhone 6/6+
thanks

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
Anyone else had similar issues?

I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Bluetooth issues with car with iOS 8.0.2 and iPhone 5

I am still experiencing issues with connection my phone to my brand new car, after updating to iOS8, and now iOS 8.0.2.
I can connect to the bluetooth, but this gives me a phantom call, my car keeps telling me that an incoming call is inbound. I cannot receive or make any phonecalls, I have only access to my contacts list.
I have tried to remove my car on my devices list, changed the name of the phone, changed the password. Did a reset of the phone.
Deleted all network connections on the phone, and reset the phone completely. And also restarted my car.
Still the same issues.
I did not have any issues with iOS7. And my car is a brand new Mazda 3 2014, with the latest firmware to the car. So i know for sure this is the iOS 8's fault.

after avoiding the hassle with the troubled IOS 8, IOS 8.0.1, i upgraded to 8.0.2. which I believed to be bugless, the iPhone 5 didn't function in my car (2014 model) anymore. It had worked flawless with IOS 7....
I'f got phantom calls, freezing the cars display and blocking the radio, in the second the bluetooth connection to the phone is established.
incoming calls go to the phone and at the cars system is nothing to hear.
Active calls from the car remain silent, even on the car display it looks like there is a connection, only the music is switched off.
Hopefully Apple staff is reading here and will change this situation soon.
Why is the possibility to officially downgrade to IOS 7.1.2 canceled by Apple ??
Is there still an unofficial possibility to downgrade a non-jailbreaked iPhone?
In the older iTunes backup?

IPhone 6 (with iOS 8.0.2 Bluetooth Issue (with BlueAnt PUMP HD Sportbuds)

Well, I've got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.0.2 and I can't pair my BlueAnt Pump HD buds to the phone.... Bluetooth is turned on on both devices but the iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my earbuds, it keeps searching, any help would be appreciated, thanks....

Issue with Iphone 6 iOS 8.1.1 - Bluetooth Connectivity

Bluetooth connection in Honda CRV continously drops and is not consistent.
Any resolution to fix this issue?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6 & 2012 Civic. Prior to iOS 8.1.1 the bluetooth always worked flawlessly, even with my iPhone 3G and 4S. Worked fine with my iPhone 6 until the 8.1.1 update. Removing and re-establishing the connection has not helped.
Apple, please please please:
Issue a patch ASAP fixing this and other bluetooth issues. This issue IS IMPACTING MY BUSINESS. I rely on the bluetooth capability of my iPhone to conduct business while in the car during my ~120min of commuting each day.
Provide the ability to roll-back to a previous version after an update. I understand the desire to tout the adoption rates of new iOS releases. But that is sure to begin declining as more people upgrade only to encounter issues that did not exist previously.
Thank you.
