8700c bluetooth won't enable

good afternoon all!
i have an 8700c that i have unlocked after Ebay purchase to run Tmobil as my carrier. I have used my bluetooth in the past to pair with my GPS and the like. however, after a recent DM upgrade (6.0) i noticed that i cannot enable bluetooth at all.
so far i have tried resetting to factory, removing DM 6.0 and going back to 5.0 to no avail. i then did a complete wipe with JL_cmder 1.9.1 and a pretty recent version of OS (4.5.0.110) installed now. and that didn't work.
i also removed the BES IT policy from my device and DM (5.) did the wipe and re-install of 4.5.0.110 again and that hasn't helped either.
so does anyone have any other options at this point for me to try? basically i can go into my bluetooth options, click enable bluetooth, it sits for a second, doesn't do anything and says that bluetooth is disabled.
anyone have any other tips/tricks i can try? is there a way to verify that the bluetooth chip is functioning?
thanks so much!!!

according to ATT, it looks like 4.5.0.306 is the most recent version now. i am downloading that to give it a try as well.
the BB was originally on Cingular if that matters (before i unlocked it). gracias!

Need serious help. Time is incorrect and bluetooth won't work

I have iPhone 5c and the time is not right. The bluetooth won't connect or even appear. Problem started about 6 weeks ago when I did the update to ios8. I've read as much as I can about the problem. I've did every reset possible and nothing works.
I'm one month past the year warranty. Conveniently. I'm about 40 mins from the nearest Apple store.
Is there a solution or do I need to prepare for this to be junked and go to a Samsung?

Hi Ejjones55,
It sounds quite distressful that your iPhone will not keep proper time and the Bluetooth module does not appear to be functioning correctly. I am going to try to get you back on track so you can use your iPhone as it is intended.
Since you have already reset (restarted) your iPhone, the next step would be to back up any data that you have on it and restore as a new device. See this article for how -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Ask to Buy Won't enable due to sharing

I've just set up a new iPod touch for my daughter, but when I go to set up Ask to buy in settings, it won't enable, and I get the following message:
"You cannot enable Ask to Buy for xxxxxx. Xxxxxxx is sharing purchases from an account also used by another family member. Ask to Buy can be enabled only on accounts that are not shared."
I've deactivated all sharing computers on both my wife's account and mine, but still have the same issue. I do not want to unleash a child unbridled on iTunes without the ability verify her purchases.
Appreciate the help.

SAme here, on iPhone and iPad. I know in app purchases are not shareable but you should still be able to authorise them.

Since the latest apple update, voice navigation has gone away. Tried the Airplane mode fix, which worked, but now my bluetooth won't work in my vehicle. What's up?

Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply. Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself. I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues.
This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative. This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved. I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question.
BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.} No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you.
So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

Bluetooth won't turn on on my new c5

I received a c5 phone this august but the bluetooth won't turn on. I already updated the software, tried the factory settings but it's no use. Could this be a factory defect? I am planning to exchange it back to Nokia but i don't have the receipt anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you try to switch Bluetooth on? Is there an error message?

Bluetooth will not enable(6230i)

Hello
I have a new 6230i and when I go to the Bluetooth menu and select
Bluetooth->On
it goes back to the Bluetooth menu with bluetooth set to 'Off'.
If I turn off the phone and turn back on and try it again, Bluetooth->On, I get the message:
"Switching on Bluetooth"
but it goes back to the Bluetooth menu with bluetooth set to 'Off'.
I have tried the same with a 6230 and Bluetooth switches on everytime.
Does it sound like my new 6230i is broke? Any ideas?
Are there any firmware upgrades which could fix this?

No didnt drop the phone but if it was damaged by a drop i would have expected something else to be damaged. I have used the USB cable, IrDA, camera and normal phone operation and they seem to be ok, just the bluetooth will not enable. This leads me to think it is a problem from the factory.
First thing i tried was taking out the battery as you suggested. I will return to the store and see what they think but is there a Nokia tech support?

AT&T Unlocked Blackberry Classic Bluetooth Won't Turn On

I just purchased an AT&T branded Blackberry Classic and regretfully I can't get Bluetooth to activate. I've tried EVERY method on the boards and no such luck. Yes, I've restored back to factory 2 times now and still, Bluetooth won't activate. Any other ideas or thoughts?

Thank you. Given that, I next recommend you reload your OS, but via the unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/It may also be that your device has a hardware issue, which of course no amount of OS loading can cure. You can run BBVE to see if it provides you with any information, but if it is hardware, you'd have to seek formal warranty support from whoever you purchased it from.Article ID: KB35973 Using the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE) diagnostics applicationGood luck and let us know!

Bluetooth won't switch on and appears as a network device.

This is related to an issue I have previously mentioned but just wanted to see if it is actually a separate issue.
My bluetooth won't connect. Its greyed out and when I open the bluetooth preferences then the 'on' box is greyed out also as is the 'discoverable' box.
Is there anything I xcan do to rectify this at all?

Hello Barry,
Thanks for your input.
I still live in powerpc land and as far as I know resetting is something which is for intel based machines. I could eb wrong on this.
I have tried resetting the pram but to no effect.
Can you reset the SMC on powerpc's?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Bluetooth won't connect to JBL Flip

Is there a fix for Bluetooth yet? My iOS7 upgrade worked for about 15 minutes and then sound jumbled and now won't work. I removed the device and tried to pair it again with my JBL Flip. The phone sees the JBL but wont pair. All of us in the house that upgraded are having the same issue I'm pretty ticked Apple wouldn't fully test something so basic. I see others are having the same problem with many other devices.

I found the solution.
Start bluetooth on the iPhone
Start the JBL speaker, the button lights blue and you hear a short warning-sound.
Now push the startbutton on the JBL again and hold it.
The light turns red.
Look at the iPad and after a short period the name JBL pops up.
Stop pushing the "red" button at the JBL
Select the JBL name at the iPad to connect.
When it is connected or paired, your done.
The next time you want to connect the JBL you do not have to repeat the above, because your iPhone knows you have a JBL.

After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
Very frustrating.
I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

MacBook Pro Bluetooth won't connect with iPhone4s

I am trying to connect my iPhone 4s bluetooth with my Macbook pro, but it won't let me connect . Sometimes it would say "Andrew's Mac Book is not a supported device" or "Make sure 'Andrew's Mac Book Pro' is turned on and in range" (My macbook is right next to my phone and its on. Why won't it connect?

You can't connect to your Mac to transfer data via Bluetooth. You can connect your Mac using the Hotspot feature to access the Internet via the iPhone.

Won't enable wireless on my iMac

Hello everyone.
I have always used my ethernet cable from the beginning, so missing my wireless bar in the top right corner of my screen wasn't a problem.
Now my iMac is no longe within range of a cable and so i need to use my wireless.
however i cannot enable it. When in "network" i can only make a new network using "Ethernet" "Firewire" or "bluetooth"
i find this rather weird since an iMac by standarts should be able to use wireless, right?
do any of you have a solution to this problem?
- Mikkel

Click on the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner, and choose about this Mac. Then choose "More Info", next choose Airport from the Network drop-down on the left hand side. If the system profiler comes up with "No Information Found." then your Airport Extreme card is not being recognized.
Did you custom configure your iMac, or is it a stock model?

HELP! My Extravert Bluetooth won't stay paired.

My Extravert paired easily with my car (Lexus IS350) and performed nicely for a week or 10 days, then suddenly balked. Now I get in my car and the screen says "Bluetooth connection unsuccessful." I've deleted the pairing from both devices and started over from scratch but now it won't pair at all.
The LG Forum (lgforum.com) shows the same complaint from all sorts of Lexus drivers (I haven't checked for other auto brands). None of us had any problems whatsoever with previous phones connecting to our Bluetooth. There seems to be a bug in the Extravert software that causes it to choke.
I need my phone to work with my car. This has already caused one scrape and a near-accident close call.
Two questions:
1. Can Verizon exert any pressure to make LG fix this in a timely manner?
2. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to jimmy it in the meantime?
I'd really appreciate some advice, other than the obvious "get rid of the phone." Thanks.

Hello scaronni,
I definitely understand how important the bluetooth feature is. Since you have done the first step of deleting the pairing and repairing my next suggestion would be to complete a factory reset to the device. This will erase everything on the device so please back up prior. You can complete this reset by following the visuals here . After the reset please reprogram the device by dialing *228 send option 1. Once you pair the device please observe and share your results. If additional assistance is needed we can certainly move forward from there. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
