Bluetooth/Bridge Issues!

I am having issues trying to set up the bridge on my playbook. I have had the playbook for a year and just got a Z10. So in trying to set it up I have found that the bluetooth will not connect. I switch it to on and it switches right back to off. Also when I am in the set up page and have to the page where there should be a code to scan, there is no code. I have just done a wipe, so I am left with nothing, and still the same. Now I am back to square one. Thrilled!
I love my playbook. So far I am thrilled with my new phone. But am really frustrated that I cannot get them together as I thought I would.
Is there something I am missing or is it just not possible to link the two together yet?

Hi ShannonRempel and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Have you downloaded and installed the BlackBerry Bridge application onto your BlackBerry Z10 via BlackBerry App World? This is required to be installed on your device before you can setup BlackBerry Bridge.
Thanks.

Hi samos,
To resolve the issue using the Messages application on your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet via BlackBerry® Bridge™, please try deleting the saved pairing and uninstalling BlackBerry® Bridge™ from your BlackBerry® smartphone then reinstall the application and test for the issue again. If this does not resolve the issue with the screen flickering, please contact direct BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet support for further investigation into this issue.

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

Anybody having bluetooth connectivity issues after devices are paired? Periodically, my mouse stops working and I have to turn it off and back on for it to reconnect. Mouse doesn't do this when paired with my old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.-bp

Hi All, I have been experiencing this random disconnect problem as well. Sometimes it came good and then sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the same as everyone else.
My problem is with a Logitech V470 mouse. <o:p></o:p>
Recently the symptoms changed and it became a permanent device instead of a bluetooth connected device. <o:p></o:p>
Furthermore, it couldn't be removed at all. The only way to remove it was to uninstall all of the Bluetooth module drivers. When the system rebooted,
it again loaded as a permanent device along with printers. Please note I'm talking about it being fully connected but not functioning whether it was turned on or off (present or not present). I wondered what had changed this time to make this significant
change in behaviour. Okay time to roll-back updates and go to a previous restore point/s. Guess what, problem solved! I had to go back two restore points to fix the problem. What was it, it was a JAVASCRIPT auto update!<o:p></o:p>
Once I past (rolled back) the most recent Javascript update the mouse returned to a bluetooth connected device and I could disconnect and reconnect. Javascript
changed the way this device was being recognised and connected.
JAVASCRIPT is underlying all of these problems of connection. Roll it back and suddenly you'll have control again! Hopefully Oracle will soon fix
this, until then, I'm disabling updates of JAVA.<o:p></o:p>

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Bluetooth connection issues after update

Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

Hi, joshzik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone. Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??

Wacom or Bluetooth Mouse issues with most recent Beta??
All I was wondering if anyone was having issues with Lightrooms beta and pointing devices… while I’m sure the Wacom Introus4 is dying in Lightroom I can’t verify that my Mouse is as well.
I’m using the most recent Beta of Lightroom and Wacom Tablet Driver 615-3a… I’m sure the issue dosent reside with another program because the tablet only stops working in Lightroom. Basically I loose all tablet functionality until I reboot whin I attempt to access the Film Strip… I’ve repeated a few times and with each it dies…

Unfortunately, although you are getting problems with your Wacom and Lr, the solution for the short term is to re-install an older driver for the tablet until Wacom come up with a new update to fix the prolem. This has been a long running problem for users when operating Lr with Wacom tablets.
(I offer this solution not from personal experience, but from what other tablet users have reported in previous threads, and there have been several).

Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0.

Apple is experiencing Bluetooth compatibilty issue since they have upgraded their Bluetooth from 2.1 to 4.0. Is this the case with Ipad 4 I have a logictech keyboard and the ipad cant dicover it. Please advise

I wouldn't delete the firewall configuration as described above as you would lose all your rules that you have in place for your firewall. I do however think it could be a firewall rule issue. You could temporarily disable the firewall on the mac System Preferences > Security > Firewall to prove this without deleting all your rules by deleting that file. If this works then have a look at the rules you have in place and maybe make an exception to this set of rules.
The 169..*. address you have is known as a APIPA address and is normally the address that you will receive when the DHCP client fails to find a DHCP server so this could be either sending or receiving data to the device that is blocked. DHCP needs to DORA (Discover, Offer, Receive and then Accept), which is a two way communication.
Kind Regards

HT204490 bluetooth connectivity issue - Yosemite10.10.3 update

The bluetooth connectivity issue still remains unresolved even after Yosemite 10.10.3 update. Any help will be appreciated.

Nobody here knows that since 10.3 hasn't been released yet. You might check crackberry.com and see if anyone testng the leaked version has a Mercedes and can test.

Bluetooth Stereo Issues

I have tried the Sony Ericsson HBHDS980 and HBHDS205 both have drop call issues. Music works flawlessly, but whenever I receive a call or try to call someone, the connection always drop after a while. I have had the drop call issue with the HBHDS980 on other Win Mobile phones. I am just wondering if others have issues with stereo bluetooth head set. I have a blueant V1 which works flawlessly for calls but it's not stereo.

How do you mean car update? The head unit is aftermarket not built-in so the car itself does not have Bluetooth. It's worth noting (I forget whether I already did or not) that the Bluetooth streaming works perfectly with my iPhone 5 just not with the Sony. I'm now on my second Xperia Z2 as the first one's call quality was abysmal. While this one seems a **bleep** of a lot better this Bluetooth streaming issue is actually doing my head in and making me want to change phones completely.

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Anyone having Bluetooth syncing issues w VW Tiquan11... and iPhone4? Essentially the pairing craps out every other time when you connect to the cars bluetooth. Requires rebooting iPhone, power off/on and then connects..

Many people are finding their Iphone 4S drops connection with their VW (Passat etc) integrated bluetooth hands free system after working fine for 5, 10, 20 minutes. The only way to reconnect is to switch the car off or turn the Iphone bluetooth off & back on.
This is a dangerous fault and it appears that both Apple & VW have no solution (or are ignoring as they have already sold you a phone & a car).

Bridge Issue: CS6 Unresponsive, how to make it respond?

2 second lag after clicking on any menu item.
4-8 second lag after right clicking on any image.
3 second lag while selecting images with arrow keys.
2 second lag selecting multiple images
My system is high performance:
. 12 Core 3.3Ghz Xeon Processors
. 24GB RAM
. Primary drive is 8 SSDs in a RAID0 configuration
. Dual nVidia Quadro FX5400
. OS: Win7 x64
CS5 and CS5.5 were very “snappy” in responsiveness on this system. CS6 Bridge works fine on my laptop, perfectly responsive.
Once Camera RAW or Photoshop are open, no issue working in these tools, so, the issue is bridge.
Here’s my debugging steps which have not worked to fix the issue:
Installed the latest camera RAW plug in from Nikon. Nikon D800 RAW .NEF files work in windows explorer and in CS5.5.
Installed all windows updates
Installed the lastest nvidia FX5800 card drivers
Uninstalled all Adobe products (reader, media player, etc.)
Uninstalled all plugs ins (HDR, noise, etc.)
Checked there are no fonts on the system (no TTF files)
Uninstalled Office 2013 to make sure there were no system font issues.
Uninstalled all Nikon software except the RAW plug in.
Deleted C:\Program Files\Adobe and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe
Searched for any Adobe reference in c:\Users\<my_username>\ (example AppData), and deleted it.
Cleaned the registry of any reference to Adobe or any dll related to Adobe or an Adobe plug in.
Rebooted multiple times.
Re-installed CS6 Master Collection. At this point it did not recognize my raw photos (.NEF from a Nikon D800).
Installed all Adobe Updates.
The updates fixed the camera raw issue
Ran FontTest.jsx – all fonts passed, none failed.
Tried Preferences:
Advanced -> Use Software Rendering : CPU utilization went up, but, no impact on the lag
Startup Scripts : Disabled all but Photoshop CS6
Increased Cache Size, Compacted Cache, Purged Cache, Different Cache organizations, etc.
Does anyone know how to fix this
bob

I talked to support on Thursday and was told that someone would call within 3 days.
Of course no-one did. Adobe have gotten too big and when that happens support becomes bad, very bad.
The last problem I had with bridge was all the 'file type associations' were lost. I thought being a paying customer I will call on their help. Again Crap support, kept telling me the same thing set each one up individually. In the end I found a registry hack that sorted the problem out.
I’m all up for being legal and pay a lot of money on software making sure I am but I do understand that when a large company offers such bad support why people start thinking why pay.
Surely part of the Cloud subscription I pay should enable me to get support others who use the software illegally don’t get. Of course in reality I don’t. I don’t get any useful support.
I have to repeat myself for every department, wait around for calls that never come and hunt the forums for people who seem to do better jobs in informing others of how to solve problems.
I will keep updated on the problem as I know more. I will also like anyone else who is having to problem to message here.

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

Multiple Bluetooth Usage issues

I'm finding Stereo Bluetooth very unreliable and at some points rather irritating. My issues are related to playing music using iTunes to my car stereo.
Connection: (A) When I stop my car, iTunes does not detect that the Bluetooth link dropped. It keeps playing. (B) Whether I pause music before or after turning off the car, it never remembers where it left off. I always have to navigate back to the song. (C) Some of the time when I turn the car back on, it will not connect and begins playing music out of the built in speakers of the iPhone at the volume level remembered when I last had the 1/8" jack plugged in. (D) When it fails to connect there is no way to easily start a re-connection. My only discovered method thus far to force a reconnect is to turn off my car and turn it back on. Very annoying.
Streaming: I seem to have to power cycle the iPhone every time I want to use stereo Bluetooth. If I have run other applications, it seems like there are processes running that interrupt the bluetooth streaming causing the music to break up. It's like the Bluetooth process is at too low of a priority over other processes to work reliably.
I hope this is helpful information for the improvement of the Bluetooth stereo streaming function.
Jeff

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Regarding your item 2 (sorry, I've no idea about the other items), see this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

Bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

Hi,
I have a N8-00, with the current belle software on it.
With my car Bluetooth it will connect and function properly when I first add the device (N8) to the car Bluetooth, but if I turn the ignition off and then back on again it won't pair, if I try to manually do it, it just comes up with error without a code.
Deleting the device and trying to re-pair it wont work unless I restart my phone, and I am unable to turn Bluetooth off on my phone until after restarting it.
This is getting very frustrating.
Please help!!
