Bluetooth and iphone

Hi, I know that I can't use bluetooth with iphone except for the headset. Is it a feature disabled by apple/at&t or its a limitation of the device itself?

The bluetooth limitations are related to the iPhone and not to the service provider, i.e., AT&T.

Bluetooth and iphone 6

i can not get my iphone 6 to see my bluetooth headset, and it does not even get to a pairing menu... the circle just goes round and round. has anyone had that problem? and what did you do to resolve it

The iPhone does not really have a pairing menu. You just turn on Bluetooth, and that puts it in discovery/pairing mode. You have to also put the headset into discovery/pairing mode, and the device's user guide usually will help you find out how to do that. If the headset is not in discovery/pairing mode, the iPhone will not "see" it. Generally, you press down on the on button or answer button for several seconds until the light on the device flashes. But I would check the device's user guide if you have one, and if not the Google for the support site for the device.

IOS 6, Bluetooth, and iPhone 4

When I originally purchased my iPhone 4, it did not properly pair via Bluetooth with my 2008 Infiniti FX 35 for hands-free calling. It wouldn't maintain a connection. Now with the iOS 6 update, the phone seems to pair with the car and maintain the connection. I've dialed out using hands-free without any issue thus far. I have not however received a call to test the connection. Has anyone else experienced this improvement with pairing with that particular phone and car?
This question is more for Apple: if in fact the Bluetooth now works with my vehicle as it should, that suggests the issue was with the software on the phone all along which begs the question, why wasn't this fixed sooner?!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Question about bluetooth and iPhone

I want to play my songs on my Bluetooth. Technically I can, when I'm on the phone, if I access my iPod, the songs will then play on my Bluetooth (drowning out the person talking). But if I can listen to music on the bluetooth then, why not all the time? I can't hear the other person when it's playing, so that's not good. Well sometimes. Obviously I have some people I don't like hearing go on and on and on and on, which is how I found this feature out in the first place, LOL.
Anyway, anyone know how this is accomplishable? Or is it just another instance of a weird iPhone quirk. Like having a landscape key board for the internet, but not for text messaging?

when one connects a wires headset it it mutes the internal speaker
when one connects a bluetooth headset it mutes the internal speaker and any wired connected headsets

Bluetooth and Iphone/MacBook Pro

I am so curious of why I can't transfer files (bluetooth) between an Iphone and a MacBook? I find lots of comments saying "...its not possible.." This is so frustrating...
I get an error message when trying to pair the two items (Iphone and Mac), even if I accept the code on the Iphone and they "see" each other (bluetooth sharing is on and both are discoverable). Any ideas of what I am missing out on?
Thanks in advance, anyone!

The only Bluetooth profiles present on the iPhone are Headset, Handsfree, A2DP (stereo BT), and Personal Area Network (PAN). It does not have any profiles for file transfer.

CCan I listen to music and podcasts thru my Bluetooth headset? How do I set it up?

Yes, IF it supports A2DP audio streaming. Follow the instructions in the manual for your headset to pair it to your phone. Open the music or podcast app. Select what you want to listen to. Press the Play button.

Is there a way to make a video call from my iPhone 4 to a non apple phone? Also is it possible to transfer pics using bluetooth from iPhone to other company mobiles? Its a great phone but sometimes I feel struck inside it.

You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.

How to prolong the bluetooth timeout session on ipad and iphone

how to prolong the bluetooth timeout session on ipad and iphone?
I understannd that the standard timeout setting is 3 mins. what if I want to prolong the connection duration, how should I do?
thanks

To my knowledge, there is no "time out" on a device. A mouse, KB, etc will go into a low power mode after a short period of non-use.

I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

Not working WI-FI, Bluetooth and quickly discharged battery on my iPhone 4S. Не працює Wi-Fi, Bluetooth і швидко розряджається батарея на моєму iPhone 4S.

Not working WI-FI, Bluetooth and quickly discharged battery on my iPhone 4S (MD234 / A).Switcher WI-FI is not active(gray color), Bluetooth always search(badge"network activity") and total time to completely discharge the battery is about 4-6 hours.
I'm trying to cast network configuring, reset all settings, erase all content and settings and nothing helped. I also tried to restore the iPhone, restore from backup, restore DFU mode and also nothing helped. My iPhone does not fall, not shock and not get water.
The problems started after updating to IOS 6.1.3. In all previous firmware it worked good.
I never put Jailbreak! And I buy his new!
Updates to IOS 7 will fix all the problems?

Проблеми почалися після оновлення до IOS 6.1.3. На всіх попередніх прошивках він працював добре.
Я ніколи не ставив Jailbreak! І я купив його новим!

Is there an easy way to switch iPhone microphone input from headphones to Bluetooth and back?

When driving I plug my iPhone into the car stereo AUX jack with a cable to listen to music. To receive or make phone calls, or to use Siri, I use a Bluetooth (Jawbone) headset.
If I'm playing music out the headphone jack and then answer a call, when the call ends the music starts playing again through the Bluetooth headset, so I have to switch it back to headphones. Theoretically no big deal, since there's the little airplay icon at bottom right in most music apps. Still, I really wish it would revert to playing through the headphone jacks and I didn't have to do anything. Is that possible?
But it gets more annoying. Let's say I decide to use Siri and want to use the bluetooth. This is fine IF I plugged the headphones in before connecting Bluetooth, but for some reason it often seems to happen that it defaults to the headphone jack, especially if I've been messing with it a bit -- say I was listening to music, then received a call, then hung up, so now music plays through Bluetooth, so I hit the icon to switch music back to headphones, though sometimes this doesn't work and I have to unplug and replug in the headphones. But now usually if I want to use Siri, and I hold down the iPhone home button, or even if I hold down the jawbone button, it will often take input still from headphones.
I can't go into all the variations of this that happen, but almost every car ride there's a pain about this -- someone calls but even though I answer through my headset, the input is still from the headphone jack, and i have to scramble to get the call going through Bluetooth again. Or I have to unplug then replug the headphones after Siri use. None of this even covers something other, like dictating text or making a voice memo, something else that need simply but DOESN'T have an AirPlay-style button on bottom right like the music apps do. Really a pain.
Really wish there were some easy switch to toggle the input.
And again, really wish the music would just go back to playing where to was playing from (headphones) instead of making me switch it either via a button or through unplugging/replugging headphones.
Any solution to this?
Thanks.

Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Expert help needed to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi

We need expert help to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi. If you have worked with Apple MFi Program [http://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi], or have expertise/experience in this, please contact me. Thanks! Kevin.

Hi there.
I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
Welcome to discussions by the way.
Hope this helps JB

I cannot connect my I pad mini and iPhone using Bluetooth.

I cannot connect my I pad mini and iPhone using Bluetooth.

I'm not sure what made you think that that was not what Regal trail was asking... I am having the same problem and wish that that question had been answered! I believe I've gone through the same steps that used to work, to no avail now. But I'm betting that you (Chris) have the answer to this!
In a nutshell: I'm trying to share my iPhone's cellular connection with my WiFi-only iPad Mini, using a Bluetooth connection. I used to do this regularly, but went for a period of time without the need for it, and so am hard pressed now to identify which thing that might have changed during the interim would have made it no longer work.
iPhone is connected to internet via cellular data (AT&T LTE). Bluetooth is on. Personal Hotspot is on.
On iPad, Bluetooth is on. My iPhone shows up in the list under My Devices, and I can select it, and it will connect for approximately 5 seconds. The shared connection icon shows up on the iPad. The iPhone (on the Bluetooth screen) shows, for those 5 seconds, that the iPad is connected, but the shared connection status bar never shows up on the iPhone.
After 5 seconds, it disconnects.
Thoughts? Need more info? Let me know! Thanks.

What can one do with Bluetooth between MacBook Pro and iPhone?

Hello,
I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs. It seems not to work; after trying to "browse the device" it effectively 'times out' (as if it's a neverending 'loading' wait icon). I saw some other threads here, "I can't sync/connect my iPhone and iMac!" with various replies, like "you sync [Calendar agenda] via MobileMe, not via Bluetooth."
What does one do with Bluetooth? Can't I send files wirelessly from my phone to my laptop? If not, why not? If so, why is the connection wait interminable? I have enabled File Sharing and Bluetooth Sharing on my laptop, but see no direct means to do so in my phone's settings -- must this be done through iTunes? Do I need to configure something further before I can send files?
I have iPhone 3G Version 4.2.10 (last I checked -- still waiting to install an update) and Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.8).
Thanks for your time!

"I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
This is not a feature of iphone. Never has been.
Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.
