Bluetooth connection inconsistent

I have paired my CDMA iPhone with two devices, my Plantronics 975 and my BMW. All went well. I have been experiencing problems with my headset since day 1.
1. If I walk away from my phone, with headset on, it will disconnect when out of range. When I get back in range, I hear a tone in my headset that tells me it's reconnected, but it has not. I need to reconnect manually through the general control panel.
2. When talking with my headset, it will cut out for a second or so, then return to normal.
Thoughts?

I am having a similar problem with my Infiniti M 35. I connect my phone via bluetooth and all is fine. When returning to the car, sometimes the bluetooth will reconnect and sometimes it won't. When it doesn't reconnect I have to go back to setting, bluetooth and press the line that says connect again. So I don't have to pair the phone again, it just doesn't reconnect all of the time.

Magic Mouse tracking poorly and losing Bluetooth connectivity since Mountain Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have experienced frequent and inconsistant tracking from my Magic Mouse. It will work fine and then out of no where, and without any connection to a particular app or process (that I can identify) it will begin stop moving or move in a very jittery fashion. I'm also experiencing Bluetooth connection loss with the mouse from time to time out of nowhere. I cleaned the mouse and even went to so far as to replace it with another, brand new Magic Mouse and have seen the same problem.
I have also tried resetting PRAM and SMC.
Anyone else experiencing this or a similar issue? Have any suggestions of things to try?
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 26 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8 (12A269)

Well , regarding of this issue i did some tests and i've reached to some conclusions to fix it.
Steps
1. turn off the magic mouse
2. remove batteries
3. put everything back and power on.
4. pair your mouse again if you remove it from the tab
5. leave the option discoverable marked down
6. add to favorite from bluetooth menu (you will see a red heart with yes )
7. should work for now
Test 1 : Mac mini 2010 with OSX Lion 10.7.4
Test 2 : MBA 2012 with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1
Conclusion : still have a bug not showing the right battery level (only 100%)but if you use "iStat" widget you will see the real level.
Magic mouse doesn't have, unfortunatelly the multipoint technology so if you use on multiple cpu in the same area can create instability (leave only one of a time and remove it from the bluetooth tab on other cpu)
I belive its working only using step 6, but to be sure

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Lenovo A1-07 Ideapad Tablet Bluetooth connection

I am trying to connect my Lenovo A1-07 Ideapad Tablet to a Nokia 5230 phone using the bluetooth connection. Whilst I get the devices to pair they will not connect. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello, my lenovo ideapad a1 woudn't charge unless you plug the charger in really hard and hold it there. That is when the light comes on. I left it off but still it doesn't charge. Any help?

Nokia C5-03/Win7 Bluetooth connectivity problem

When I am trying to connect Nokia Ovi Suite to my phone using Bluetooth, the pairing process seems to succeed, except the last phase: Then I receive a message that the connection did not succeed. The wizard gives then a possibility to try again with a different ID but it fails every time.
It is the same problem if I try to pair the phone from computer's Bluetooth icon in the notification area. However, with using my laptop with XP this succeeds. Therefore I believe that my phone is OK but there is something wrong with my Bluetooth software in Win 7 computer. Nokia Ovi Suite lists it:
- Microsoft (Version: 6.1.7600, subversion: 16385)
When I start the computer, the Event Viewer shows the following error:
"The Bluetooth driver expected an HCI event with a certain size but did not receive it."
Source: BTHUSB
EventID: 5
The Microsoft's "Event Log Online Help" onthat window does not suggest anything.
However, this may be the actual reason for the problems but I do not know how to fix it.
I have tried Microsoft's "Fix it" tool but it did not fix this problem.
Any ideas what to do?

Still the same problem.
Now I installed the Nokia PC Suite and I tried to make a bluetooth connection to it.
Everything goes again well except after the last phase when I give the asked pin number in my phone, the computer ponders a while and shows then a window with the text that the phone cannot be verified.

How do I connect my Centro to the Internet via bluetooth over PC's Internet? Where is Centro's PPP Connection Type? How do I setup Login Script for bluetooth connection?

I am trying to set up bluetooth on the Centro to connect to the internet via my PC's internet.
HotSync over bluetooth works successfully.
Computer specs: Toshiba P205-S6277; Bluetooth Stack v5.10.04 (currently using); Bluetooth Monitor v3.01 (to use Vista's built-in bluetooth)
I think I have narrowed my problem down to 3 things.
(1) Finding Network Access properties (to allow connected devices to access the internet)
(2) Finding Centro's Network Connection Type: PPP
(3) Finding the correct Login Script to use
for (1) I think I've looked everywhere; found nothing on Network Access.
Checked control panel: only Bluetooth Local COM
Right-clicked bluetooth icon > Settings: File transfer, PAN Networking, PAN DHCP server, AV controls. Other bluetooth settings are for file transfer or object push. I don't see anything like this.
I'm stumped on (2). It seems as if palm removed this option under Centro's Advanced network settings .
Nearly all the forums that I read says to choose Connection Type: PPP.
(3) Found 2 scripts that seemed would work. I don't know how it exactly works but it sounds workable.
First script:
Send: CLIENT
Send: CLIENT
Wait for: CLIENTSERVER
End:
Script 1 Connect Log:
=======================================
Connect Log
S: client
S: client
R:
Err: 0x121F <<<netErrUserCancel b/c I canceled it.
Not connected
========================================
I canceled it because the process would stay on "Signing In" then it automatically "Canceled" itself.
Second script:
Send CR:
Delay: 1
Send: CLIENT
Wait For: CLIENTSERVER
End
**UPDATE** I found on this forum (Reply # 3689) that the script is needed only if you are using Palm OS 4 or under. Centro uses Palm OS 5.49121. Can anyone support this?
Even without the script it has problems "Signing In".
I'm currently reading this site and trying out its decribed methods. I will update this thread when I get the results.
I'm using the Centro. And If anyone's been able to successfully connect to the internet on the Centro via a bluetooth connection to the PC WITHOUT 3rd party applications, please share. If not, please share any ideas.
Thanks!
-Eric

I've been going at this for days, and have probably exhausted all the proposed solutions on the first 3 pages of various google searches. I'm getting the feeling that Vista users are pretty much SOL for the time being.
For the record, I just tried out a few of the solutions (mRouter & SoftickPPP) on XP and they work perfectly.

I have an IPad mini WiFi (not cellular) and an IPhone 5. I use the bluetooth connection between both devices when on the road. I downloaded a navigation system on my IPad using GPS positioning. Is Bluetooth OK to use GPS positioning on the IPad?

Bluetooth connection fails iOS 8.1

My iPhone5s cannot make a Bluetooth connectivity with any of my Macs(MBA mid-2013, iMac late-2012, MacPro) all running Yosemite 10.10. Prior to upgrading to Yosemite the same iPhone running on iOS 7 did make successful bluetooth connectivity. My iPhone5s is on 8.1. Surprising even though it cannot have connectivity, it sees and stay connected for a second or two and then will say "Not Connected". But the same phone connects with Blueant S4 handsfree Speakerphone - except that I have to make a connection each time. In the past, it used to connect automatically when I was in the range of my device.
Yes, I have tried reset PRAM, SMC resets on my Macs, powered OFF and ON my iPhone5s and even reset my NW connection. In addition, I have other iPhones in my family and none can make connection to Macs which run on Yosemite(tried 4s, 5 and even 6). But the same iPhones make successful BT on Macs running Mavericks and Mountain Lion(yes one MBP still exists). So I am guessing it is changes in Yosemite that is causing the problem. Because I am going through this problem - my family members who have Macs do not want to upgrade to Yosemite as they depend on BT connectivity for their external devices. I don't blame them, but sounds very silly to me that Apple messed up big time with BT connectivity. I see many reporting similar issues, but for many resetting PRAM and/or SMC they have been successful.
Any help would be appreciated. Again I am not referring to Handoff (which it is working for me) but I am interested in BT connectivity with Yosemite. This is important because external BT devices need to be connected(Headphones, Earbuds etc).

I went to the Apple store yesterday because I was having the same issue in my Honda Accord after I updated to iOS 8.1.1. The very helpful rep there suggested that I go to Settings -> General -> Reset on my phone to reset my iPhone 5 General Settings. She said that it's like an oil change for the phone that cleans out a lot of the junk. After doing this, I was able to stream both my music and Pandora in my car again.
Note: When you reset the General Settings, you will lose your phone password and background image (not a big deal). You will NOT lose your pictures, video or emails.
Hope that helps!

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

New iMac and Bluetooth connection to mobile phone

Hi,
I have a brand new iMac 21.5", 3.33 GHz here and I use a Motorola KRZR K1 mobile phone and the emitSMS widget, to send SMS messages.
But this widget can't detect the Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone.
I delete the bluetooth preferences, but this does't help.
On my MacBook with MacOS X 10.6.2 is no problem.
Anybody an idea, what's the problem?

Hi again,
Can it be, that's a problem with the last Airport Client Update?
On my MacBook is this update not installed and there is no problem.

PC Suite Upgrade has disabled my bluetooth connect...

Hello!
After using an older version of Nokia PC Suite that came with my model 6233 phone, I decided to upgrade to 6.82.22.0. The older version worked via Bluetooth without any trouble. With the new version, I can no longer make a Bluetooth connection to my phone.
Using the PC (running Windows XP Prof.) Bluetooth connectivity software, I can see and interact with my phone. (I am using an Acer USB Bluetooth device).
When I completly delete all pairings and pair via the Nokia PC Suite software, I can get to the point at which a pairing code must be entered. Upon entering the code and accepting via the phone. . .nothing happens. The button labeled 'next' remains gray and after waiting 20 minutes I am forced to 'cancel'. When I go back to try the process again, the phone is no longer visible. (Via the PC software, yes, but via the Nokia software, no.)
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

I used "Add/Remove Programmes" in Control Panel. It might also be the "Cable Connectivity solution" that Software updater installs. so I uninstalled that - but that broke my cable connection, so I could be wrong.... Either way, I'm now able to connect via Bluetooth which is the main thing.

E51 Drops Bluetooth connection with Car Radio afte...

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anybody has seen this before. It seems like a few people are seeing this but I have yet to find a solution. My phone pairs perfectly and works as it should for about the first 30 mins, then for no reason, it drops the bluetooth connection and I either have to power my phone or radio on/off. This is very annoying as it has now dropped the call too and I am force to redial.
Sometimes it does not even last 30 mins, and might happen after only 10 mins or so.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Yes, I have a similar problem which is a real pain if the call is dropped mid-conversation. Have you installed the MS Exchange email client from Nokia because that may cause a disconnect during a poll update.
Other than that I can't suggest anything, except it would be good to get a solution to the problem!

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 between car & iphone stopped; won't reconnect

The bluetooth connection between my car (BMW) and my iphone just stopped one day. Had it back to the dealer to reset connections, and it wouldn't reconnect - altho' the service guy's iphone connected just fine. Any idea how to rectify this? service guy said the problem is with the phone software, not the car's.

One possible solution is that you have multiple devices connecting at the same time.
I have both my Blackberry phone and my iPad paired. If my phone connection is active, I can't pair my iPad.
This isn't usually an issue for me because I usually only listen to my iPad on my way to work when my phone isn't liable to ring anyway.
