BlackBerry Q10 bluetooth issues since software upgrade

I have a BBQ10 and a chevy sonic with mylink. UP until Monday night they paired fine everything worked and then I had a software upgrade on my BlackBerry. It installed just fine no issues there. Now when I try to make/receive calls while using bluetooth in the car my phone has to be using speaker. Handset doesn't work, nor does bluetooth. The first time I start car up and the devices pair I can get the bluetooth to ask me "what would u like to do" I can get all the way to connecting to the call. As soon as call is connected it tells me it's going into private mode. This is the point where only the speaker on the phone itself will work. I can not talk via bluetooth or "handset" speaker only or I don't hear people but they hear me. I know it's not an issue with the mylink in car I paired my mum's bold and everything works as it should. Suggestions?
Solved!

Problem solved. Changed phone name. Deleted pairing between phone and car bluetooth rebooted phone turned car off and back on. Repaired devices and seems to be fine now

  • Bluetooth issues since Belle upgrade on E7

    Hi,
    Been having a few problems with bluetooth since I've upgraded to Belle, specifically when connecting to my car (Mazda 6 2011 model).  Previously with both the original OS and Anna there were no problems, however now if I connect or disconnect from car while a call is in progress the bluetooth goes crazy and requires a reset.  When connecting while a call is in progress the phone says that the audio is being transferred to the car, but it isn't, I can neither hear any audio nor can the other person hear me.  The car doesn't even register that audio is being transferred, as the radio continues playing (it would normally turn off when a call is transferred).
    Usually I need to reboot the phone to fix this, simply turning off bluetooth and back on again does not work - again, it says it is connected, but doesn't actually transfer the audio when making or receiving a call.  Also the call will not transfer back to the phone or speaker, it says it is transferred but there is no audio at all (sent or received).
    This is a very frustrating issue as I often make calls while in the car, and frequently continue these calls while starting or stopping, and it certainly never happened prior to the Belle upgrade.  I've tried doing a soft and hard reset and reinstalling everything, I've re-paired the device, but nothing has worked, the problem persists.  Not sure if this is a known bug in Belle, but it's definitely not working as it should or as it used to.

    exactly the same problem with Nokia 500 upgraded to Symbian Belle. Any solutions? As I read on other forums this is wider problem with bluetotth support in Belle

  • Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

    Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

    I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

  • Blackberry Q10 - Bluetooth Audio gone / Contacts not shown in HUB

    Dear Blacberry Community,
    I have some questions regarding my Blackberry Q10, that I use since not even a year.
    1. If I buy a mobile phone from a company that wants to be the star in the business world, why do I have to solve any issues with the help from other users? That the company that produces the product is not able to fix it themselves may be part of the problems...
    2. After my last recovery action the phone does not show the name for some specific contacts in the Hub, though caller ID and contacts entry is ok. Still, the Hub only shows only the number.
    3. After an OS software update the phone occassionally failed to contact to my car via bluetooth to play audio files - The hands-free speakerphone always worked and works! But I used to play the MP3 files stored on my phone via bluetooth on the cars stereo system. Similar problem like this.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes the option Bluetooth Audio was not available in the cars built-in stereo.
    After finding no solution in the internet I decided to re-install the phone software. After recovering the phone (and loosing half of the contacts that magically got lost during the backup process, and picking up problem no.2) it worked ok - until it started again, getting worse day by day. Sometimes the music started, but on the phone, not on the car speaker.
    Then came the new software update to 10.2.1.2977.
    Instead of the anticipated fix this update did something unexpected. Now, the Bluetooth Audio function does not work at all, never. I already deleted the bluetooth connection with the car, and reinitiated it, but no change. Phone works, Audio doesn't.
    Which basically means that I do not use the audio function anymore. Which I consider a cool statement, such as driving a Mercedes S-Class, but you can't give the three blondes on the curbside a lift, because at the last inspection the Mercedes workshop accidently removed the rear bench - and then asked you to ask other Mercedes drivers to install it back in.
    Bluetooth Audio connection to bluetooth speakers works, though.
    Anybody a good idea? I'm reluctant to re-install the phone again, since it damaged as much as it fixed last time. And didn't last long.
    How about a software update that, for a change, fixes the problem, instead of creating it?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issues.
    My NEW Q10 will work fine for phone connection in my Hyundai Elantra GT(2013). It will connect via bluetooth to similarly enable speakers(Altec theJacket - not the XL) but NO AUDIO through the connected speakers!!! This is quite frustrating. The manual says it supports about a dozen 'profiles'. The Q10 supports APT-X technology, but not many speaker manufacturers support this. The Altec XL-Jacket is twice the price of theJacket. 
    When will BB fix the audio streaming problem? This is a major nuiscence! 

  • Blackberry 10 OS issues since last update 10.3.1.1565

    Ls, I have some problems with our Blackberry’s I have this since the last update of blackberry I have following issue’s:
    - Phones will not start while there are 100% and finalizing
    - Photos are lost
    - Contacts are lost
    - WIFI profiles are lost
    What can we do about this issues?

    Due to the number of problems with "upgrading" to this OS level, I suggest you try the very clean and very forceful AutoLoader OS Reload:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...
    Beware that it is completely destructive...the device will be "like new"...no data, no apps, no accounts, etc. Be sure you take a full backup first, as well as make full manual documentation of all apps, accounts, configurations, etc. Sometimes a restore reintroduces the very corruption one is trying to eliminate, and manual reconfiguration is necessary.
    You can also use this to fall back to a prior OS if you desire...you can install any OS level for which you can find an AutoLoader. (Hint...search over on the CB site!)
    Good luck and let us know!

  • IPod Touch skips, stutters, glitches through songs since software upgrade!

    Hi everyone,
    *Since I upgraded my iPod Touch* to the latest available software update +(for the 1st Gen is 3.1.3)+, it has become *unable to properly play any music encoded above 128kbps*. Before the upgrade, my iPod could play music encoded in any higher bitrates like a champ! All the way to 320kbps, variable, even Apple Lossless format used to play flawlessly.
    Suddenly after the last *firmware update*, most of the songs in my iPod Touch would *skip, glitch and garble, making electronic glitches and annoying noises* for no apparent reason. On occasion, the iPod would even *add several second of silence in the middle of random songs*. It's bizarre!
    It definitely took me a while to figure it out, and spent weeks testing and researching what could be the problem. It was truly driving me nuts! The result of all these tests was clear: the *iPod Touch now CHOKES on any music file encoded higher than 128 kbps ACC*. Truly pathetic for such an expensive little jukebox. Even the early MP3 players I owned 10 years ago were able to play variable rate MP3 files without a glitch. *_This is a major bug that needs to be solved_*.
    For those interested, I did the following tests through my weeks of research to find out the culprit to this problem:
    - - - Reinstalled the device software
    - - - Reformatted the device, then updated the software
    - - - Uninstalled all apps, reinstalled and tested my music after reinstalling each app
    - - - Disabled Wi-Fi (no difference)
    - - - Copied over my music library from scratch, several times (it was painful)
    - - - Reformatted a few albums in different bitrates, from 96kbps, all the way to 320kbps, both in constant and variable rates, and tested them one by one. This took days.
    In the end, there is one thing that was consistently clear: *any songs encoded over 128kbps would skip, glitch and sound corrupted. Time after time*. All those music files I had encoded at higher rates +(192 kbps, variable 240 kbps and beyond)+ would make the iPod choke.
    There is one temporary solution to this mess, but it involves reducing the quality of your music files: The only way I can now play my music collection in my iPod Touch without skips and glitches is by downconverting my files to the now *obsolete 128kbps*. Only when I converted my music to 128kbps, the annoying skips and glitches stopped. For an audiophile like myself, this was an absolutely painful decision, as I can tell the *obvious loss in quality and nuance in my music files since i had to downconvert them*.
    Funny: this skipping problem *also affects any files purchased from iTunes* +(encoded at 240 kbps variable rate)+. Should I ask for my money back, Apple?
    I find this irritating and painful, since *the ONE THING the iPod is supposed to do well* (aside from apps, games, and web browsing) *is to PLAY AUDIO AND MUSIC FILES*.
    I spent a lot of money on this machine, and until recently it worked like magic; I just wished it played music again like it's supposed to. It's what the iPod was built to do. *Apple: Please fix the software!*
    I wonder if there's a forum where I could post my detailed findings, so Apple engineers can take note of this *MAJOR BUG*.
    PS: I have recently learned this is a very common bug, and tons of people are reaching out telling me they are experiencing the same annoying problems. Furthermore, *this seems to affect not just the 1st Gen, but ALL generations of the iPod Touch*. It's a *widespread software issue* that was not properly addressed in the latest software upgrade. I'm starting to worry about Apple's quality assurance process.

    Hi everyone. Thanks to a tip in another forum, I think I had a breakthrough regarding this problem. I have the strong suspicion it's not the software for the iPod Touch, but instead, the problem comes from *iTunes and how it handles USB 2.0 transfers*.
    To make a long story short, all your *music that's encoded above 128 kbps gets corrupted when you transfer it to your Touch from iTunes through your USB 2.0 connection*. That's where the problem is!
    I performed this simple test:
    *PART 1 - WIFI*
    - I connected my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi to the iTunes Store. Bought an album encoded at a very high bitrate (Coldplay's "Viva la Vida", encoded at 256KBPS).
    - Downloaded the Coldplay album directly to my iPod Touch via Wi-Fi.
    - Tested every song in the album, and they all played flawlessly.
    *PART 2 - USB 2.0*
    - Now, I erased the Coldplay album from my iPod Touch.
    - Connected my iPod Touch to my computer, and downloaded the album again via iTunes. I copied the very same album to my iPod Touch, this time using the USB 2.0 connection.
    - I tested every song in the album. Guess what: most of them are corrupted, skipping, glitching, making garbled noises.
    I think a reached a minor "eureka" moment. *It's not the iPod Touch software: It's iTunes, and how iTunes deals with your USB 2.0 connection*.
    Now, I'm not an engineer, and I don't know how to fix this problem. I wonder if there's anyone out there there that knows why high bitrate files get corrupted during the file transfer. Hope anyone can shed some additional light on this issue, so we can find a solution.

  • IPad AirPlay issues since IOS7 upgrade

    Hi all
    Since the last ios7 upgrade i've had nothing but trouble with my AirPlay set up.
    I have the following set up:
    HP ProLiant N40L server running iTune server (latest build)
    BT HomeHub 3 / TP Link TL-PA211 WiFi extender
    iPad 3rd geneeration
    iHome iW1 AirPlay speaker
    Before the upgrade i would get some intermittent issues, but eventually after iPad restarts i could get AirPlay working. Since the upgrade 90% of the time my iPad will not see any AirPlay devices whatseover.  After a reboot of the iPad (or more) it eventually sees the Airplay speaker.  iTunes however on my server always sees the AirPlay device and has no problems whatsoever connecitng to it (please bear in mind that this is still on the same WiFi network).
    On the occassional 10% that my iPad does see an AirPlay device, I connect, and then almost immediately the AirPlay device dissappears from the iPad.
    I've spent 2 weeks now trying to sort the issue out.  As my iTunes can see the AirPlay speaker without issues and play to it, I'm assuming it's part of the ios update.
    Anyone got any suggestions, as i'm ready to throw in the towel?
    Thanks
    Simon

    Hi
    First, before you lose interest - I have a solution that works so well to get BT Home Hub 3 working with 'Airplay' and Apple TV and my iPad 4, that I am so far unable to 'break' it.  Please do try to break it yourself, and could you report back here or mark it with stars or whatever so I know what happened in someone else's setup?
    I appreciate what you are going through, all I wanted to do was get 'Real Racing 3' running for me and the kidz on the TV that is attached to Apple TV box.  Sometimes the Airplay icon appeared, sometimes not, it was chance - really frustrating.
    The nub of it is this - you 'reserve' certain aspects of how the HH3 services the wifi network, so it directs data/communications via these 'reserved' ports specifically assigning them to the purpose you need - in this case, 'stuff' (technical eh?) going to the Apple TV so that Airplay works.
    Apple forums somewhere list these publicised ports, and you go into HH3 management (tap in the IP address of the hub in 'safari' to get there, then put in your password for admin - it is 'admin' if you didn't change it already).  In short, you use one of the games/applications that already are in the list for 'Port Forwarding', and I modified the name of a new one I made to make it like 'Airplay attempt using BT alarm' or something, because I 'copied' the BT safe alarm app details to start my custom one off.  Lost yet?!  Go into the HH3 manager, go to the A-Z I think it might be in 'advanced' and get 'Port Forwarding' up.
    Ok, here's the things to set - if you peruse the apps/games they already list in HH3 for this sort of thing, you will see entries under 'TCP' or 'UDP' headings, and it's these sort of things we want to reserve.  I only set the single specific addresses (it's just a number to you and me) that were listed on the Apple site as being to do with Airplay:
    There are only 2 bits to set - you hit the button on screen in HH3 manager, to 'add entry', then select in the box marked 'protocol' that you want TCP or UDP according to the info I dug up from Apple site below - don't worry it is not complex to do you are just editing a couple of figures on a thing you don't use.  Incidentally, I left the first two entries as they were (1024 was in there already) because I am just timid!  So set it as below.
    TCP  1024  - 
    UDP  1024  -
    TCP  80  80
    Any 123  123
    TCP  443  443
    Any  554  554
    TCP  3689  3689
    UDP  5353  5353
    I took a pic of mine, for records, and this is what is in that pic.  You have to enter the self-same number (eg 123 as above) no less than 4 times, this gives the results above.
    On the bottom right, there is a button that says 'apply', so you hit that and it saves this new-fangled custom designed list of reserved ports/addresses for your 'Airplay BT alarm' or whatever you called it.  THEN YOU MUST ASSIGN THIS CREATION OF YOURS TO A DEVICE - THE APPLE TV.
    That's the basics of what I did - I have since restarted the BT HOMEHUB 3 several times, the Ipad 4 several times, the Apple TV has updated its software and has been restarted twice.  STILL AIRPLAY WORKS.
    So, I am reassuringly presented with the Airplay icon whenever I 'upswipe' on my ipad from the bottom of the screen - iOS 7.1 is on my ipad obviously, but that did not change the hit-and-miss of the Airplay icon until I made these mods to the HH3.
    Over to you - try and break my solution please, and let me know if it works for you as well, or not.  All I know is, Real Racing 3 can reliably be brought to bear on the Apple TV thing, and the Airplay icon is now never missing.
    One more point - I think I also set the Apple TV IP address to be static - my ipad has had this situation for some time, along with the 'lease' set to a couple of weeks or something, so it does not try to select a different channel for wifi frequently?  PLUS, I set something in the ipad I think, long ago (did not affect this issue as far as I can see), so that when the ipad 'wakes up' it does not decide to search for a better channel or IP address or something - that caused loads of glitches it seemed, then I found out my BT HH3 was on the end of dodgy phone cable not hi-quality shielded...but hey, that's a different bucket of bolts.
    Good luck and let me know an outcome please, best to all.

  • Why is my iphone 3g slower since software upgrade...

    I know other people who have complained about the same thing that the 3g is slower since the software upgrade a few months back. Why? Everything on the phone is a tad slower since the upgrade. Weren't upgrades designed to improve the performance, not decrease it?

    are you up to date with the siftware?
    do you have a lot of memory left?
    have you tried a hard reset? a reset network settings? a restore?
    all can be done to try to resolve the issue, try those first before giving up

  • Bluetooth Issues after Yosemite upgrade.

    My Magic Trackpad's newest magic trick is to disappear after a few minutes of non-use.  I was quickly able to discern that it was disconnected.  Reconnected... few minutes later disappeared again.  Battery level is 92%.  Checked my Bluetooth options to allow Bluetooth devices to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer is checked.
    Anyone else having any similar issues or am I special?

    I've had a series of issues since upgrading, I believe it is BT related:
    If I do NOT try to use my previously functioning BT headphones I get:
    no stalls/stops playing video files
    no sound issues (no connect to headphones, stuttering audio)
    no endlessly spinning beachball
    no "System Prefs Not Responding" message
    If I try to connect to the headphones I have issues with all of the above bullets. Trackpad and keyboard continue to work after the above problems manifest themselves.
    This bug is repeatable - don't connect to the BT headphones, things are "good"
    Disk Utility found no issues
    RePairing the headphones does not help
    I rest the PRAM last night, and the problem went away completely, everything worked. Put the machine in Sleep, went to bed, woke up, problem was back.
    The BT menu think the headphones still Connected, they are NOT in the Sound Prefs (were when working), At this point the Sound Prefs won't close, and all I get again is the beach ball that spins endlessly (30 minutes).
    I don't know if this is a BT issue, a Sound Prefs issue, or what, but again this morning I am broken.

  • Bluetooth Issues after SW Upgrade...​need help.

    I did have any issues with my Pearl and BMW '05 X5 Bluetooth pairing but after upgrading the Pearl software from 4.3v to 4.6v, I am now unable to pair my X5 and with the Pearl. They are able to "talk" to each other as I do see the BMWcode on my phone but then after a few seconds or so it will say it was unable to find.
    So what gives? Has anyone else seen this problem after upgrading their Pearl software?
    Thanks!

    Has anyone else had this issue? Is there another place (forum, etc) you think I might get help with this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Various issues since Leopard upgrade

    I have just installed Leopard on a Dual 2.7 G5 with a 500GB Hitachi HDD and 5GB RAM and I have noticed one or two niggling little 'quirks' (I am lumping everything together here, rather than separating them in to more appropriate sections, so that I have a record of everything together).
    1) I have an Epson Perfection 4870 scanner which I cannot use to scan directly from applications (for quickness I mainly use Preview) as the 'scan' button is always unavailable (greyed out, not highlighted in blue). This has been an issue since at least 10.4.8, so it's not a problem exclusive to Leopard, but it's extremely annoying nonetheless. As I can scan directly from the Epson Scan software (which is basically the driver) Epson will not assist me further and have directed me to Apple/Adobe/MS, etc., for support. Prior to 10.4.8 (IIRC) I could select 'import' (from whatever application) and it would automatically preview, the scan button would then become available and hitting it would launch the driver software. However, the link between the applications and the driver seems to have been severed somehow/somewhere and it is no longer recognising that the unit has finished its preview in order to make the 'scan' button available for the next part of the process.
    In Tiger, I could also scan into Epson's EasyScan application, but have been told this isn't 10.5 compatible.
    Does the above make sense...? Has anyone else experienced this - and have you solved it? If so, how?
    2) This next bit concerns the Dock. I like to have it hidden along the left hand side of the screen, rather than at the bottom, because I only have a 17" panel and desktop space is at a premium. However, about one restart in five, it's back along the bottom and any icons or folders that I have added to it have gone AWOL.
    3) The third issue is a sound issue. I have a Revolution 7.1 card which I understand, from reading a notice on M-Audio's Web site, is not yet Leopard compatible (though the promise it will be "very soon"' though as the last driver release didn't support anything newer than 10.4.6, IIRC, I'm not holding my breath!)
    So I have removed the card and plugged my Logitech Z5500s back into the 'on board' card. This was working flawlessly under Tiger (I know because I tested it to make sure, because I knew that the Revolution wouldn't function under Leopard). However, whatever I try, I only seem to hear sound from the internal speaker; I even replaced the optical cable (at great expense - the original was a Belkin Gold Series, and so is the replacement and, at about £35 a pop, it's not a trivial outlay). Everything in the sound sys prefs is completely 'greyed out' so I cannot change it from the internal speaker to anything else. Whilst there is nothing on Logitech's Web site as regards to the Leopard compatibility of any of its products (it seems that it gave up on the Mac a very long time ago; I use a MX510 which was the last of their rodents to have any kind of OS X support and that stopped with 10.4.4, IIRC) I cannot see how a set of speakers, which should work with anything that has the required jack sockets, can be fussy about an OS. Incidentally, I also have a 'dark side' box running XP Home (when I win the lottery, I'll buy a Mac Pro and dispense with it) and they're plugged in there and work fine (via analogue, though, not digital).
    I noticed it when I received some CDs that I'd ordered from Amazon the other day and found that iTunes was playing through the internal speaker.
    4) The final issue is a networking issue. Under Tiger, I could (though it did take me some tweaking to get it working smoothly) dump things from the G5 on to the Windoze box and vice versa, without too many hiccups. However, Leopard is proving to be somewhat of a challenge, to say the least. I don't know how I managed it, but I did manage to render the machine completely inoperable at one point (it would only boot as far as the grey 'Apple logo' screen and I couldn't open the optical drive to stick the DVD in - a panicked phone call to a friend, who runs his own Mac repair and consultancy business, followed!
    I don't understand SMB and AFP (though I do know about FTP). In the Finder, I can see the 'doze box and can send things to it (though should I be connected as 'guest'?) but there is nothing on the Windoze side, save for 'Printers and Faxes'). I have made sure I have permissions set correctly and everything is set up to share (and Windows sharing is on) but there is nothing on the other box at all.
    Is it possible to share the main HDD across, or am I limited to this silly 'Drop Box' thing (which I did have available under 'doze at one point, though it was read only and I couldn't change permissions from Leopard because I didn't have sufficient privileges, even though I have an admin account and I could change permissions under Tiger with the same level of 'clearance'.)
    4) This final issue is sort of linked with 3) as it concerns what I believe to be erroneous error messages. I was clearing some stuff off a drive I was going to use for Time Machine[1], but I wasn't allowed to delete most of it because 'XYZ was in use' or open in an application. Six reboots later, I was still receiving the same error; strikes me that Leopard's got its knickers in a knot somewhere along the line because the files in question (mainly old Word and Excel docs) were certainly NOT in use as I didn't have either installed at the time!
    [1]Though having read the problems people are having with TM (not just here, but on other forums I read/post to) I think I might give it a miss and stick with ChronoSync (just have to wait for it to be compatible).
    So, this is actually the second installation, but the problems remain - any help out there?
    Sorry for the verboseness of this, but I wanted to make sure that I'd covered everything. I'm almost tempted to reinstall Tigger (but not quite - I like Spaces, and I like the Dock Preview).
    Cheers for any assistance, folks!
    Fran

    Fran, I'm not sure I'm going to be much help for all your problems but I will attempt to answer what I can.
    1. Scanner problems - have you tried reinstalling the software? I know you mentioned that the easyscan software is not compatible but it sounds like the driver software isn't in the right place. Optionally another program that you might want to look into is vuescan. I have had good success with the program in the past but I have yet to try it under Leopard.
    2. Dock problems this sounds like either a corrupted preference list. But I don't have a clue as to why it might be reoccurring. Have you fixed permissions on your computer since installation?
    3. I don't have a clue to figure out how to fix this issue.
    4. Networking - As for sending things to the doze box. You don't need to be connected as guest. Just use the username and password that you use when you sign into the windows to sign into the windows box and you should have the same rights as you would as if you were using windows on that computer. Yes it is possible to share the main HDD but it isn't something that I would recommend. What I do recommend is creating a folder where you have both read and write rights to and then use that folder share items across both computers. If this isn't something that is going to work for then at the most I would just share your documents folder. You didn't mention how your trying view information on the windows side you should be able to browse your network and eventually find and see the mac.
    4 (part 2) - I would recommend something besides TM, it is designed to recover lost/accidentally deleted files. And isn't really designed for being your complete backup program. Yes, you can use it for that but I would recommend something more robust. Some of that comes down to how you want to define your recovery strategy. Superduper!, promotes themselves as having the ability to boot for your backup drive and being able to almost immediately get back in business. If this is a critical factor to you then I would lean in that direction. If you are just worried about having a backup of critical data files then Chronosync or some other program will work just as well. Also mentioned in your post in this paragraph is a description of "files in use" problems. A couple of things come to mind did you let spotlight finish indexing your drive before you tried deleting files? I've run into a problem similar to this in Tiger when I was deleting files while spotlight was indexing.
    One item that you didn't mention was what kind of installation you did when you installed Leopard. If you didn't do an 'erase and install" then that might be something to look into. First back up your computer before doing this. You might also want to run a permissions fix on your drive to see if that helps at all.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Blackberry Q10 Contacts Issues

    We are having some issues with the Blackberry Q10 contacts and how it merges contacts together.
    All of the contacts needed in the phone are stored in an Exchange account. When we added the Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, it added contacts from those accounts as well into the contact list. We do not need these contacts to be synced, but I didn’t see a way to add the accounts without having the contacts sync with the phone. The major problem we are having is that the phone is merging contacts of seemingly random people. It would merge people together with completely different names with seemingly no reason to merge together. This leads to various issues like the wrong picture showing up and the wrong name showing up while making and receiving calls.
    In addition to wanting help with resolving this issue, I have a few relevant questions.
    1)      Is there any way to Unlink all of the contacts so we can quickly resolve the issue of random people being merged together?
    2)      Is there any way to have Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts on the phone but without having their contacts/connections synced into the phone’s contact list? 
    Thanks

    As stated you can unlink them one by one. You can also remove Facebook, Twitter etc contacts from the phone book list. By swipping down from the top of the screen, then select settings. There you will see, show accounts in contact list. You can select off to remove Facebook, Twitter etc.
    However if you have a contact in your phone book who is also one of your Facebook, Twitter etc etc friends, those contacts details will be linked together and as stated, you'll have to unlink them one by one.

  • Google and ICal issues since Safari upgrade

    After we recently upgraded Safari, when I add an event to my google calendar or to my ical, which are synced, it shows up twice on the ical calendar.  This only happens for my events--no one else's in our family.  I am the main person on the account.  Also, we are not able to see Google Calendar on safari since we upgraded. 

    I am trying to publish my google calendar of events onto my web page. In Firefox the calendar displays and all events show up fine. However, in Safari, my google calendar shows up but none of the events are displayed. I have checked & double checked that the sharing settings are correct in google calendars!! I've even made sure to empty all cashes Can anyone help me understand why it works in Firefox but not with Safari??

  • Xperia T- Bluetooth Issues since Andriod 4.3 Upgrade.

    Hello All.
    Since my phone was upgraded to Andriod 4.3 Jelly bean, I've been unable to make calls from my phone via my BMW car audio as before, as the Bluetooth link keeps dropping out.
    I've tried re- pairing the phone to my car, but this has made no difference.
    The Bluetooth seems to work ok with other devices.
    Questions are:
    1) Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it.
    2) If not, is it possible to re- install the previous version of Bluetooth that came with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and worked perfectly ok with the car audio.
    3) As a last resort, is it possible to install a 3rd party Bluetooth App to try and resolve the problem.
    Hope somebody out there can help !

    I Have an Xperia Z and once again since the update battery drains superquick, the phone gets hot and the bluetooth is all but useless, I work for a motor dealer, since this update I cannot pair my phone to most of our vehicles to demonstrate the system (and yes it did pair fine to these cars and vans prior to update), I get the message Bluetooth share has stopped or it will re-boot the entire phone, I did have a conversation with Sony who deemed that I should back up and restore the handset, which once done may or may not work (it didn't) and they seem to be completely denying a problem, which as I have checked various forums there very clearly is a major issue
