I've found two bugs in iOS 7. 1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre. 2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device

I've found two bugs in iOS 7:
1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre - iOS 7.0.2.
2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device automatically - iOS 7.0.

We are all users here, just like you, but you can tell Apple about it by using this link:

Its a 5S,I couldnt automatically connect to an already paired bluetooth device the next time.Have to forget that device then re establish each time.Am i missing any setting that does it ?Also if i turn on the bluetooth via settings and turn off it via control center,the settings page still reflects its on ,is that a bug in IOS ?

What kind of Bluetooth device?
When you turn it off in Control Center, are you looking at the Settings page? If so, you need to close control center for it to reflect the change. When you turn Bluetooth off in Control Center and look on the Status Bar, what do you see? Do you see the gray Bluetooth icon? If you have Settings closed and turn Bluetooth off on the Control Center and then open the Settings app, do you still see Bluetooth enabled?

Trouble with Bluetooth Devices

I have a MacBook Pro 13" from late-2011. Recently I have decided to use Bluetooth headsets instead of wired earbuds because I tend to forget they are in my ears and when I get up, they are yanked out of my ears, hurting me and potentially pulling my notebook off of something. I had an LG Tone before getting my current Motorola S11-FLEX HD headset. I switched because of the problems I have been having with Bluetooth but switching has not solved the issue.
My biggest problem with my Bluetooth headsets is that the audio stutters and then de-syncs with any video. The de-sync can be as bad as a full second. I'll see the video's actions before I hear them. The de-sync also affects the responsiveness of controls. After I give a command, the audio will continue to play for however long the de-sync is before the command is performed. It's like it's making up for the lost time. The only solution I have come across is turning off the device, then turning it back on but that only works some of the time. Usually, I have to turn it off and then on again two or three times before the de-syncing issue disappears. I have no idea the cause as my LG Tone works to specifications with devices that belong to other people. I have found that moving my head in a certain direction will cause the de-sync. Sometimes, it's leaning back; other times, it's tilting my head. It's as if the Bluetooth field is planar and I'm jumping out of the plane.
Another issue is the distance I can be from my device. My Bluetooth headsets boasts being able to function perfectly as far as 30 feet for one headset but moving even 5 feet will cause the previously mentioned de-syncing if the audio is playing. If I pause the audio, I can move about 10 feet. After I move 10 feet, when I press play, the de-sync appears. It renders the function of being wireless to being useless. I wanted to Bluetooth so I didn't have to pause, take off my device, do what I need to do, and before coming back, putting on the device, and resuming play, hoping that nothing has gone wrong to cause a de-syncing issue.
A third issue I have is that sometimes, while listening to some audio of some kind, another program will make a noise causing the audio to cut out. My notebook or the web browser is not aware that audio is no longer playing. It's as if the new program has muted the original audio. The only cure: turning off the device and turning it on again and hoping it's working.
The last issue I can think of is that when I turn my notebook off for any reason, all Bluetooth devices are forgotten causing me to go through the hassle of repairing the devices again but many times, the repairing process fails and despite being on and not paired to anything else, my notebook is unable to pair unless I turn both the device off and my notebook's Bluetooth off before turning both back on.
Has anyone run into issues like this? If so, does anyone have any recommendations on how to correct the problem? The problem is on my notebook side as the devices work fine with other products. The LG Tone could be used across the house when it was attached to my father's Kindle Fire and when attached to my iPhone 5, I could walk 20 feet with doors and concrete between me and the device before any issues began (both devices had trouble with my iPhone but pausing usually fixes the issue so I don't care). Please, I need some advice and help.

Some details missing.
I have a Pioneer DEH-P7000BT. On telephone settings, everything OK.
When I want to sync to my Audio Bluetooth, I hear the sound in slow motion :-)
I have to delete the Bluetooth device on the radio, and re-syncing on Audio Devices and everything fine.
Same thing all the time.
When I had iOS 3.1.3 on my iPhone 3G, everything was OK.
I can't find Firmware Update for my radio.

How do I find the MAC address of a paired bluetooth device?

I have just connected a bluetooth device to my MacBook. When it was pairing, it displayed the MAC address of the device, but a few seconds later, the MAC address was replaced with a test description of the device. I need to figure out what that MAC address was.
For clarification, this is not an ethernet connection, it is Bluetooth. The device is a type of headset, it has no use accessable interface, and no the address is not on the device itself.
Thanks,
-- JC

Open System Preferences > Bluetooth
Select the device on the left.
Then click the asterick with a downward facing arrow then click More Info.
The Addrress will show on the right.

IPhone 4S will not pair or connect to Bluetooth since IOS 7.1.2 upgrade, have done troubleshooting, on phone and with Honda Handsfree link, can no longer pair bluetooth devices with phone after un-pairing them

iPhone 4S upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Since then, Honda Handsfreelink would not connect, I un-paired and re-paired phone on 2 prior occasions successfully. Now I deleted system settings in car, tried to pair another BlueTooth (Plantronices M20 that had previously been paired wtih iPhone unsuccessfully. I have tried troubleshooting with Honda HFL, Verizon Tech Support, reset network settings on phone and I can no longer get the Bluetooth to pair. I was told to bring phone to VZW store. I was also told to reset phone to default settings which I do not want to do.

You have to reset the plantronics device before you can pair successfully. With my new iPhone the plantronics web site said to reset the headset and then pair.
Your car dealership is best equipped to connect to your phone with your Honda. Physically go to the dealership.

How to get rid popup of pairing bluetooth devices on Pocket PC?

I'm developing bluetooth scanner and pusher through Pocket PC with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Almost all devices are processed properly except some Samsung phones.
They need pairing key despite I'm using NO_AUTHENTICATE in obex url.
So on my pocket PC (eten glofiish x500 or m700) there appears dialog box to add samsung ( for example SGH-Z370) to my pairing devices (input pin code).
Is there any possibility to automate connection with samsungs. I'm thinking about 2 resolvers:
1. setting default pin code (i'ts possible for example in linux bluez lib with setting /etc/bluetooth... defaultpin - can't remember full path and file), I've tried to find such setting in registers of windows mobile, but there is no info about that).
2. writing c++ application waiting for event of appearing popup window and then pushing proper button and input default pin code.
Maybe there is some other possibility (for example trying other protocol than obex or some parameter).
I need automated sending of bluetooth content for all devices found around Pocket PC without any human interference of my Pocket PC. I need figure out how to connect to that SAMSUNG-s.
Thanks in advance.

First, note that your Mac cannot be infected with a PC virus. Deleting the file is all that is necessary, and even that is only necessary to avoid passing it on to others.
Second, Symantec has a proven history of not understanding the Mac. Their software has been known to cause problems, and their detection of Mac malware is not particularly good. See:
http://www.thesafemac.com/mac-anti-virus-testing-01-2013/
I would recommend removing that. Then read my Mac Malware Guide for information on protecting yourself against malware.

Trouble pairing bluetooth keyboard with mac mini

I bought a generic bluetooth keyboard and I am trying to use it with a Mac mini using 10.6.8. The bluetooth setup sees "Bluetooth Keyboard" and connects to it. I enter the passcode on the keyboard, but after about 25 seconds it says "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. This configuration of Mac OS X and Bluetooth software could be invalid or unsupported." If I watch the bluetooth control panel during this process, it says it is connected and paired as soon as I hit "return" but then disappears when I get the message. I already tried trashing com.apple.bluetooth.plist and restarting. I made sure nothing was on top of the Mac, and turned off the WiFi on my router, but nothing helps.

Update: I tried to pair with my bluetooth cell phone. If I initiate the connection from the Mac, same thing. However, I was able to successfully pair and download pictures, if I initiate from the phone. ???

HT2995 Trouble Pairing Bluetooth speaker with Mac Mini

I can't seem to get the Bluetooth on my Mac Mini to recognize my LG wireless speakers (though the Bluetooth on my iPad recognizes the LG wireless speakers). Any thoughts on how to correct this?
The Mac Mini simply does not seem to recognize that the LG speaker exists. I know the LG speaker is in Bluetooth discxoverable mode, as my iPad sees it.

You do have the iPad's BT turned off, right, when you try to pair with the Mac?
Better yet, on the iPad make sure the speakers are unpaired-removed, and then try pairing with your mini.

Having trouble pairing Bluetooth with Chevy Mylink

Since iOS 8 and 8.02 I have lost most of my functionality with Mylink in my Chevy Camaro. I even loaded iOs 8.1 last night. Still no functionality. So I removed the device from MyLink and told my iPhone to forget this connection. Now it won't pair back MyLink at all. Is anyone else having this issue...?

Did you ever find help for this issue? I purchased a 2014 Silverado with 4.3 screen MyLink installed. Everything worked fine for 4 months until I updated to IOS 8.1.3. now I've lost Voice Command and not wanting to reconnect to MyLink. Took it to dealership and they reinstalled latest MyLink software still not working. None of my 3 iPhones 5 and 5s, Ipad or Ipod work correctly anymore since the latest Apple Updates. Getting really tired of Apple Updates that don't work. Going to switch to Andriods and Aftermarket Audio Units. It's Apple Updates and they will not accept responsiblity that their programmers are not fixing the issues with their software or they wouldn't have to come out with so many Updates.
