Apple, PLEASE restore the Bluetooth functionality per IOS 4.3.5

So many complaints here about how our BT devices worked perfectly w/ IOS 4.3.5 and now, all the joy is gone w/ IOS 5.
I used to be able to control the volume on both my iPad and my BT headset independantly.
Volume would max out on the iPad when entering the iPod or Video apps when I was paired up and then I could turn it up further on my headset.
Now, they control each other and I can't get enough volume to hear in noisy places.
Please, please, pretty please...Can you fix this asap?

Is there anyone else that is having connectivity issues w/ 5.0.1 as well? Previously, if I paused the iPod app w/ my BT headset control and went out of range, when I would return and hit play on the BT headset, the BT icon would appear and flash, then the play icon appeared, and several seconds later music would resume.
Now, when I go out of range, or even pause for an extended period I get NOTHING! I have to constantly go into settings and select the headset manually, which sometimes doesn't take, or completely turn BT off on the iPad and/or my BT headset to get it to re-connect. Why did Apple feel compelled to completely **** up everything they could with the BT functionality? I have several devices and they all worked fine w/ 4.3.5, never a problem w/ connection, volume or functions. I have sent several feedback reports and called twice. Don't know what else to do but beetch some more at this point because it seems it's falling on deaf ears.
The other thing I don't understand is how this OS is affecting devices differently. My friend has had none battery, BT or data loss issues with his iPad2. I've got EVERYTHING shut down on mine (location, email push, notifications, apps etc), brightness at 25%, and am even running in Airplane mode. But if I turn on wifi and check email and surf, I can lose 10% of battery in a half hour or less.
I'm really finding out how much I absolutely HATE / LOATHE / DESPISE this OS.
When I got my iPad2  back in June, it was one of, if not THE greatest experiences of my life as far as getting a piece of computer/electronic gear goes. NOW, I occasionally find myself dreaming of dispersing it into as many pieces as I can across my back yard. All because the company that I had always heard "did not release garbage for their customers to de-bug", did exactly that.
If anyone from Apple is here reading this, FIX IT! And I'll even say "PRETTY PLEASE" if that'll persuade you to. Either that, or give us a way to revert back to 4.3.5.
I'd happily reload all of my apps and data for that bit of generosity.

  • Will Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7?

    Could Apple please reinstate the 'bold' keyboard in IOS 7? The new keyboard is too pale and difficult to use.

    In General>Settings>Accessibility there is an option for Bold Text, but this doesn't really affect the keyboard. If you want to make your voice heard by Apple, provide feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Apple, please restore the scroll bar all the time.

    This is just a note to Apple asking them to return the scroll bar all the time, or at least make it an option that it's always there for all the programs in the next update of Mountain Lion. This is really a nuisance in iPhoto, but also in other programs where it disappears. What's the point anyway? It's a pain when it vanishes, and I'm not sure if the window should scroll or if I'm seeing all the content. Getting the scroll bar to show up is tough, too. BRING BACK THE SCROLL BAR, PLEASE!

    http://www.apple.com/feedback will provide much more fruitful results.

  • ITunes 12-Please please restore side bar functions for playlists -and how can i tell when and if it is safe to "eject" devices after synching

    ITUNES 12-4points
    1) Please restore the easy function whereby the side bar easily accommodates playlists
    2) How do i know when devices can be ejected following synch--no visible drop down ?
    3) How can i change the fonts and font sizes of the library-over and above the noddy large/small toggle in preferences
    4) Look forward to a proper Apple update which includes  full functions of iTunes radio. Hurry up with the latter-Spotify is overtaking you guys!

    How do i know when devices can be ejected following synch--no visible drop down ?
    I can only tell you based on what I see w/ my iPhone...
    When I plug in my iPhone I get the following icon on the top bar:
    If I click on that (that's when it turns blue), I get a sidebar.  At the top I see this while it is syncing:
    The circle-arrows spin.  Once the sync is finished, I see this:
    I then know the sync is over and I click on the Eject icon that replaced the circle-arrows.
    Are you seeing something different?

    I would also check LG's site.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

    hi everyone
    please please make the Multitasks feature in ios 5 optional , like the bluetooth or siri which can turn it on or off
    thank you very much to all of you
    please do not ignore this request and think about it please

    This is a user-to-user forum. You're not addressing Apple here. If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, use the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

    I think it's also possible you don't quite understand how multitasking works on the iPhone. Most of the apps you see when you double tap the Home button are not running. They are recently used. Very, very few apps actually run in the background. Apps that do continue to work in the background are apps that play music or use GPS.

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

    I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
    '''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

  • PLEASE fix the iPod controls in iOS !

    PLEASE fix the iPod controls in iOS 7 and upcoming iOS !!!!
    I have always used my iPhone, as a musician, for learning new songs, and playing music. The previous versions, iOS 6 and older, it was very easy to grab the blue cursor ball and drag to any place in the song.
    Since iOS 7, these simple controls have been broken. The ball cursor has been replaced by a red line, which is very difficult to drag to a different position in a song. If you are able to drag the red cursor line to a new position in the song, the iPod player stutters, and/or does not move to the desired position.
    Disclaimer: I have been an Apple ADDICT since 1989... owning almost every version of the Mac since the Mac Plus. I have converted literally hundreds of friends, customers, and family members to the Mac platform, from the dreaded PC world of Darkness.
    PLEASE fix or revert the iPod controls in iOS !!... it is an essential tool for a working musician/producer !
    THANK YOU !!

    It seems impossible to get the horizontal scrolling to work smoothly and in a way that doesn't result in some albums/apps in the row being skipped.
