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.

Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here...

Since I can not log in bug report page, not even getting an error message, I'll write all my issues with ios8 here... I have an iphone 4S and I did the last update. Now I am in trouble.
1. When I move the "sound on/off" button, I get it buzzing 10 times before the setting is changed and I can do anything else, just not reacting to the round button on screen touches.
2. Impossible to copy text from most websites into notes.
3. Impossible to delete an email account in settings.
4. Uses up the battery twice as fast as before. I have "update apps" setting turned off, just reading a couple of mails, making a couple of photos and open maps apps twice a day, and the battery is dead well before the evening.
5. Got extremely slow, and it was getting slower and slower with every system update.
I'm sure I forgot something... But well, that already a lot.

Well, actually number 3 in my list is not true any more, I just tried to delete my account 15 times, then I've written my post, then half an hour later my Settings finally updated my accounts list. Whohoo
I did not try restoring it yet, thank you for the link!

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?

Is there an issue with IOS8 and bluetooth connectivity?

I have downloaded IOS8 on my iPhone 5S & 4S, and now am not able to use the bluetooth phone connection in my auto.
Anyone experiencing this same situation?

Does Apple respond to the Support Forum posts?
Is there a pending solution, and what is the timeline? Should I be raising my issues with Acura or Plantronics? I have read that RESET of the phone is a temporary solution. I am not going to reset my phone on a daily basis. The whole reason for iCloud backups is so I don't have to start over with each new device.
I have a business trip this week, and I use my car bluetooth and bluetooth headset heavily. Today I convinced a Best Buy Geek Squad employee to perform a little experiment with my iPhone 6 and iOS8.0.2. We did not try the Plantronic Voyager Legend, because it is my current headset, and does not work. We tried the Bose Series 2 (clearly price does not help compatibility), which did not work. We also tried a Jawbone Era and a $29 something, all without success.
8.0.2 worked until my phone battery died on Saturday.
Even if there are a variety of industry standards for Bluetooth technology, it is unreasonable that Apple excludes such a large percentage of the users market. I know Apple likes a good secret, but could they share enough information with the accessory market?
Why doesn't Apple aim to provide the world most stable operating system, instead of the most changing? I am all for change and innovation. I will even continue to pre-order the latest and greatest Apple product. But change without function or at a loss of function is ridiculous. I had this same experience with the iOS 7 release. I am sure that most of my issues will be resolved by Thanksgiving. Why not rewrite operating systems on a two year cycle, so you can actually test it first? I would appreciate if Apple stopped testing their products on the customers that are the most supportive.
PS This is not the only issue I have found (horizontal keyboard, apps sticking, etc, etc) This is just the issue that is effecting me most directly today. Apple you reputation is suffering. I think I just heard Steve Jobs turn over.

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.

IOS 8.1.2 bluetooth issue with Subarus

Apple... When are you going to fix this? I have been waiting months for a fix. As soon as I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS 8, the bluetooth connectivity with my 2011 Subaru Outback ceased to function. The many updates (now using iOS 8.1.2) have failed to fix the issue. This is a problem because I used the bluetooth system for my hands free phone use and I'm in my car for hours a day. Even the Subaru website now lists iOS 8 as incompatible with certain audio systems. The nice folks in your Apple Stores have been woefully incapable of addressing this issue except to tell me, after I stood my ground and argued that it was not Subaru's issue, that I get a new memory chip and use my old iPhone 4s, for which the iOS had not been updated to 8. This is a complete mess on Apple's part and I can't imagine that it would have occurred on Jobs' watch!

Any fix for wifi issues with ios8?

Just submitting another questions asking for help with IOS8 wifi issues. Nobody from Apple has commented or acknowledged any issues with wifi, so we, the users, are left to fend for ourselves.
My specific issue is that 5GHz Wireless N seems to have incredibly short range, and 2.4GHZ Wireless N cuts out after about 3 seconds of use. I have tried all of the fixes described in every post I can find. I've deleted network settings, I've completely wiped the phone and started from scratch, I've done everything possible.
Now that wifi doesn't work with IOS8 I can no longer use my iPhone 5 with AirPlay our any of my other devices in my home. The fact that Apple has refused to say anything about the problem, and the fact that they are blocking users from rolling back shows a level of arrogance that's absolutely amazing. Thankfully this is all happening before I bought an iPhone6, which I'm now seriously considering avoiding if this experience is any indication of Apple's commitment to quality.
Are there any other tricks out there to get 2.4Ghz working? I know that we, the poor users of Apple products, are on our own, so I'm hoping that someone can help.

I got iPhone 6 IOS8 [ not updated ] for a few months now worked fine until now WiFi not working in my home tried reset , turning off phone , nothing worked , Got it to work by unplugging the router WiFi Box unit for a few seconds ! works like a charm now , Super fast

Iphone 4S issues with wifi connection related to 8.2?

I haven't had issues with this before and have had my phone for 4 months. Suddenly this morning I was alerted I am almost at my data limit and I still have 14 days to go! I noticed my phone wasn't connected to my home wifi! I tried to connect several times and it told me the password was wrong. I know it was right so I restarted my phone, router, and modem. I was able to connect but had to leave for work. When I got to work, I connected to the wifi as well in an attempt to not go over my data. My phone connects, then I look at it a while later, and it says 3G again. I googled the issue and found a lot of people talking about the same problem but it all seems to be from last year. Anyone else having this problem suddenly? I have Sprint.

Hello Elita One,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where your iPhone is dropping different Wi-Fi networks after being connected, I'd like you to please reset your network settings by following the directions outlined below.
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
Have a good one,

IPhone 4S issues with wi-fi and iMessage & Apple support

Against my better judgement and experience I bought an Apple iPhone 4S when it was released. I should have remembered the extensive pain I experienced with Apple's so-called "support" when I had iPod/iTunes issues but I bought into the promise and the hype by Apple's marketing. I'm still wondering why this product includes only 90 days of support if Apple is so confident in it's reliability. So I was having increasingly frequent problems with my iPhone connecting or remaining connected to known strong and good wi-fi connections. It would arbitrarily disconnect from my wi-fi and go to a 3G connection which of course causes me to use data on my Verizon data plan. Usually I didn't notice the change in connection until I was waiting far too long for the requested information to show up. As you can imagine, that issue will push me towards exceeding my data plan quckly and thus cost me more money on my Verizon bill. Not acceptable.
Then in the last two weeks I started having an issue with iMessage/IM in being able to reply to messages. I could read them, I could open and close the app, but once I tapped in the field to type my reply it froze. I could not type anything. I could close and reopen the app, same problem again.
So I set up a call with Apple's glorious support system for which I had only a few days left on my extensive 90 day support term. The lady that called me was friendly and fun to talk to. No issues there. She had me initiate a backup after checking a few things. Because the backup was going to take about 20 minutes, she asked if she could call me back. I was fine with that, no need to make small talk for that amount of time. I got a call back but it was from a guy at another location. This concerned me but he said he had all the notes so I was hopeful. He advised me that if there was some corrupt SW on my iPhone, restoring would only put the problem back on my phone. I'm a sales guy in the IT industry, so I bought that. He said he was going to set my phone back to "new" as if I just bought it, then would restore all my apps, settings, contacts etc back to my phone. It was a big leap of faith for me, but I went along because they are supposed to be the experts. After spending close to an hour on the phone with this guy, who was also polite and fun to talk to, he has me start the restore process and waited on the phone with me for a while. The process was taking quite a while, I think around 30 in total so about 20 min into the process he has me stop the restoring session and tells me I can restart it later. He wants to check that my wi-fi is working. It was, so he asked if there was anything else I needed. I said just to put my phone back to the way it was with my apps, contacts, music etc. He told me that would complete when I finished the restore. I had to go to my company's office for the afternoon and spent much of that time resetting everything that was on my phone to how it was before. I noticed that the iPhone had pulled every single contact from my Outlook db on my personal computer (where iTunes resides) and all the contacts that I had set up on my iPhone were gone unless they were also in my Outlook. The really aggravating part of this issue is that I have about 800 contacts in my Outlook, many of which are people I don't want or need to have on my phone. The contacts I had entered on my iPhone over the past almost 3 months were the people I call or call me. All that data appears to be gone. I have since restored twice and the same thing occurs, everything is set back to "new" status and nothing is the way it was. I am now so angry I could crush this phone with a hammer and switch to the competition. Neither of the very nice people who "helped" me told me I would lose any information. In fact, both assured me my phone would be back to the same setup I had previous to their help.
I ask you folks at Apple, what is the use of backup if it doesn't back up AND restore all the information? We have a saying in my business, "you can back up the entire world, but how well can you restore?". I don't know if some step was missed along the way, or I initiated a restore from an incorrect target, but I am not a happy customer. Add to that the fact that I'm locked into a 2 year contract on this thing, and have had issues with poor support before and I'm pretty angry. I've gone into my local Apple store to ask a question about my iPhone's capability. It was a simple question that required only a "yes" or "no" answer and I would have been fine either way. What I got from the pasted on smile Apple associate was a sales pitch on the product I was showing her! Continously smiling and telling me the world is beautiful does not answer questions or resolve issues. I was eager to buy an iPad in the near future but with the pain I seem to get everytime I buy an Apple product, that purchase is never going to happen. You can block me here, blacklist me or whatever you like to do to keep people from reading negative comments about Apple, but I will be posting this same story elsewhere as well. For the amount of profit you make from these devices, I expect much better service and much less aggravation.
Sincerely,
Rick S.

The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it. So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair. I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got. I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully. What do I get in return? Nothing. Not a damned thing!! You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!! Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap. I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not. I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please. Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products. Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk. I've had it with you. If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

IPad and iPhone Bluetooth issues

Help!
I have an iPad2 and an iPhone4s and neither of them will discover the other.
In addition they won't discover any other Bluetooth items, although my iPhone will pair with my car Bluetooth for some reason and will find other car Bluetooth devicesIt's all very odd!
I have a Bluetooth keyboard but my iPad won't discover that either. I've tried turning off but make no difference.

4. Once you do this, your keyboard will show up under Devices and say Not Paired. - See more at: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5772/ipad-how-to-pair-connect-any-bluetooth-keybo ard/#sthash.FZlCTbkx.dpuf
Hhi,
I have 2 Ipad 4th Gen tablets.. neither will discover anything. I turn on Bluetooth and it just searches forever, but never discovers anything. I can turn both tablets Bluetooth on and neither one even finds the other.
I tried turning off the airdrop thing, and still nothing.
Is there a config file or something? Im actually an experienced Windows/Linux developer, never used Apple products before now and am suprised there is really nothing that can be done to anything. I feel like Apple is treating us like untrusted kids lol

IPhone 5 issue with music playback- buttons not responding

When playing music on iPhone 5
- The play/skip button on my headphones does not work when pressed. If I want to pause a song, or tap twice to skip ahead, it does nothing. The volume buttons on the headphones work, but the center button does not. It DID work previously, but recently just stopped. I tried the same headphones on my iPod, and they work perfectly
- When the screen is locked, if I double tap the home button on the phone to bring up the playback controls, it does not play when I press Play, nor does it skip forward or back. None of the buttons respond.
It seems to be an iOS6 issue with the device not responding to the commands. Anyone know of a fix, or do we have to wait for a patch?

I found it!!! General, Passcode Lock, and make sure that under "Allow Access When Locked" catagory Reply with Message is ON

IPhone having issues with Proximity sensors

I just got my new 5S with iOS 7.1.1 and occasionally when i answer a call and put the phone close to my ear the screen lags. It turns off and then back on and will do it a couple times before either staying off or sometimes on during a call. Not sure if this is an issue with the sensor on my phone specifically or if it's a software issue. I haven't yet taken it to apple as it isn't an emergency and I have no time to go to an Apple store. Is anyone else having this problem?

Screen won't lock or go black when answering calls
Verify mute or speaker have not been activated, just prior to placing your ear over the receiver.
While on a call hold your hand over the top third of the display, and verify that the screen is locked or goes to sleep.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.

Serious issues with ios8

Serious issues with iPad 2 since updating to ios8. Have to keep restarting the iPad as it is the only way to connect to wifi again, battery drains quickly. Nothing works properly, things keep freezing etc. is there anyway to go back to ios7?

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
