Bluetooth connection problem in '13 Subaru Legacy with iOS 8.1

Bluetooth for my '13 Legacy has ALWAYS automatically connected to my Bluetooth stereo for car with my prior iPhone 5, iOS 7-iOS 8. After I upgraded to iPhone 6 with iOS 8-8.0.2 Bluetooth never connected automatically and when trying to connect from iPhone settings it would take up to 3 tries for it to connect, currently this issue seems to be resolved (needs more time). Before 8.1 I had to use stereo option to manually connect right away. After 8.1 update I still can not connect automatically.

checked today the subaru canada website, iphone 5s, ios 8 is LISTED NOT COMPATIBLE FOR INCOMING/HANDSFREE DIALING

Having bluetooth connection problem after using Yosemite for a week

After installing and using Yosemite for a week, I experienced bluetooth connection problems with my magic mouse and headphone, my model is macbook pro retina early 2013, hope to fix this soon

Hello there Oranger84,
If I understand correctly you are having some sort of Bluetooth issue between your computer and Magic Mouse and Headphones after installing Yosemite. Depending on the particular symptoms you are seeing, I would recommend the following article to help you get that resolved:

HT201205 iPad 2 bluetooth connectivity problems

I recently purchased a Toshiba TY-SP1 bluetooth portable speaker for my iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3....the iPad 2 does not recognize this device at all. I have a ZAGG bluetooth keybd connected with no problem. I've tried an iPhone5 and it connects successfully. I can also connect with my BlackBerry Bold 9900.
I tried another iPad 2 and it has the same problem of not recognizing the TY-SP1 device.
Toshiba says they are able to connect to an iPhone 4S successfully, but are not able to test with an iPad 2.
Does anyone know if the iPad 2 has a limitation on the bluetooth version that iPhone 4S/5 do not have ?

Thanks...I took this device camping where there are no wifi signals or cell service...but no luck.
As mentioned previously, my BB Bold & iPhone5 connect easily to this device....my iPad 2 doesn't even recognize this particular Toshiba device model. Toshiba seems to feel it is an Apple issue.
I've disabled my bluetooth keybd and rebooted the iPad, however, same result.

9780 and Playbook bluetooth connection problem

I have never experienced bluetooth connecting problems between my 9780 and Playbook 64 previously ... but for last few days I cannot connect them. I have deleted both devices and re-paired successfully. I have turned both fully off (removed 9780 battery) and still no connection.
I have tested both devices by successfully connecting each of them to other bluetooth devices. They just will not connect to each other for some reason.
The only change was the recent Playbook Software update.
I use the Bridge and Tethering all the time and so need Bluetooth to be working ... thanks for any assistance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

maybe you can uninstall then reinstall the Bridge app on your 9780.

Magic Mouse Bluetooth connection problems with Mac OS X Lion

I've a problem with my Magic Mouse on bluetooth since I've updated my Mac to Lion, it's disconnecting too often. How to fix it ?

It might be a physical battery connection problem. The solution was already described by this article:http://macs.about.com/od/tipstricks/qt/Fix-Magic-Mouse-Disconnects.htm
Placing a trimmed piece on paper that was cut from a business card between the batteries and the battery-enclosure lid helps hold the batteries down firmly. This eliminates the tiny freeplay that allows a physical battery terminal disconnect when the mouse is jolted.

Bluetooth Connection Problems with Acura MDX

My DroidX has been connecting for almost 2 months now just fine to my MDX. Today it won't connect at all. It sees it but it just won't connect. I tried rebooting the DroidX. That didn't help. I have no idea what changed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi,
This has happened with all my android phones (Eris,Ally, DroidX) with my JagXF. Sometimes rebooting the phone helps, other times I have to delete the phone from my car and re-pair the devices. I really think Android has a problem with bluetooth though as it didn't happen with my Samsung Omnia and since it happened with 3 different droid phones, what u think? Hope this helps!!

Bluetooth connection problem with nokia 6230i

Hi I am having troubles establishing a Bluetooth connection between my Nokia 6230i and my Dell Latitude laptop running on Windows XP SP2 when trying to use Nokia PC Suite. When using the nokia suite connection wizard it establishes a connection for a fraction of a second and then disconnects.
The following information may be useful??
Windows XP Pro SP2
Nokia PC Suite 6.5.12
Microsoft BT Stack 5.1.2600.2180
WIDCOMM BT Stack 3.0.1 build 803
Can any one help please??
Thanks

You could try uninstalling the Widcomm Bluetooth and relying only on Microsoft + PC Suite 6.6.18 from http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

BMW bluetooth connection problems with the iphone 4s

My 2010 BMW 528 and iphone 4s are not working properly together. About half my outgoing calls from the car leave the recipient unable to hear my voice. Consequently they hang up. If I call them back a second time they usually hear me just fine. The pairing generally seems solid. I receive calls normally and both parties hear each other on all incoming calls. It's just the outbound calls that dont work reliably. Apple is trouble shooting (e.g., a iOS5 reinstall is pending) but I'm not sure (nor are they) that this will fix it. Some thought that there may be a basic imcompatibility between the two devices. Many report that the 3g and 4 models pair and work fine with BMW's. Any thoughts/suggestions?

I have the same problem in 2010 BMW 528i and iPhone 4S. I reduced how often this happens by turning off syncing of contact on the iphone. But it still happens daily. The audio is not diverted from the phone to the car.
Really, really hoping that this gets fixed with iOS 5 update soon.

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.

Mac mini, bluetooth connection problems

Hi, My mac mini (latest model) has recently got problems with the bluetooth connections to the keyboard and the mouse.
It seems to be some kind of interference to the wireless signal that makes the KB/Mouse to lose connection, and then
connect again.
I assume that it was one recent update that caused this as it worked without any problems for months before it
started by itself.
Any tips?

6230i Bluetooth connectivity problems

Sorry for long posting...
I have recently purchased a 6230i to replace my 6310i.
I previously used a CA-42 USB cable for the 6310i but that is reported by the 6230i as incompatible - grrh.
And now I am trying to set up the Bluetooth connectivity.
I have (eventually) managed to get the 6230i paired to my Laptop using a Belkin USB Bluetooth and the Belkin software running on WinXP (IBM T41 laptop). PC Suite runs but seems to be a little unreliable over Bluetooth - will address that by sourcing a DKU-2 cable.
However, I have problems with pairing the 6230i with my Sony HBH-600 headset (works perfectly with 6310i) I can get the 6230i to discover the headset either by searching for audio enhancements or by setting up a new pair, however it always fails to set up the connection (never asks for passkey).
Similarly I cannot get my Ipaq 5550 to pair with the 6230i. I can start the pairing from the Ipaq which finds the 6230i but the 6230i never acknowledges the pairing attempt which then fails. If I start the pairing process from the 6230i it finds the Ipaq and attempts to pair but never asks to setup a passkey - the Ipaq does not seems to receive the pairing attempt.
I have set the auto connect option to yes and no with no difference.
Any suggestions ?
Needless to say all this worked perfectly with the 6310i.

Further to original post
The Bluetooth connectivity all works between the IBM T41, Ipaq 5550, Sony HBH600 headset and a Nokia 6810 phone.
So the problem appears to be the Nokia 6230i phone.
Further research gives some rather disapointing information.
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=2629
If you have problems performing pairing between an iPAQ 1940/2210 and the Nokia 6230 and continually get an error similar to "Cannot pair devices for security reasons" then it's related to the problem outlined in that document.
This is a Hardware issue and not a software issue related to the WIDCOMM BTW-CE Product. There are two types of keys that can be used for pairing:
- Combination keys
- Unit keys
The key type that is used is pre-set in the Bluetooth Radio Firmware. The WIDCOMM BTW-CE Bluetooth software
does not control this setting. The radio on the iPAQ 1940 uses unit keys by default. These Nokia phones reject the use of unit keys in pairing because it is not as secure as combination keys.
Users of older HP iPAQ models should check the HP Drivers page for the latest OS or Bluetooth software for their devices.
I note that my Ipaq is older than the two models mentioned and that my headset is 16 months old. So it looks as if the 6230i is going back - stupid no backwards compatibility.

Possible fix for car unit Bluetooth connectivity problems (it fixed mine)

Ok, I understand this only fixed my particular problem, so it may not work with every Bluetooth head unit.
I have a Pioneer deh-p7000bt and it worked beautifully with my iPhone 3GS.
Once I got my iPhone 4 I restored it from a backup of my 3GS. I had continual problems. I synced it and it would disconnect within minutes. This would happen everyday so I just gave up.
Yesterday I was playing around with my head unit. I DELETED any previously synced phones from my head unit. I also told my iPhone to forget my head unit. After deleting any traces of my older iPhone and new iPhone, I resynced my iPhone 4.
This time it stayed connected and reconnected automatically even after rebooting and restarting my car. Problem solved.
It may have something to do with the head unit being confused about the iPhone hardware.... Possibly from restoring it from a backup of the previous phone you had already synced to the unit.
Try this, it worked for me. Maybe it won't work for you.
Thanks,
John

I too have had problems with Bluetooth connectivity, with my wife's IPhone 5C, since updating to IOS 8 and now 8.02. I have a 2013 Honda Accord with factory updated firmware. Everything worked flawlessly before the IPhone update, but now the phone will connect to the car but I get error messages saying the contact list cannot be imported. I deleted everything, started over, still does not work. I also have a Motorola Moto X with the latest Android build and Bluetooth connects automatically, works flawlessly and the contact list always imports when I enter the car, so it is definitely not a problem with the car's system. I thought Apple products were superior to all else... I will be switching my wife to an Android phone if Apple continues to ignore the problem. She needs this to work for safety reasons, since she works out of the car.

Bluetooth connectivity problems after iOS 5 install

Like may others who upgraded to ios 5 and found it was full of problems I to had issue with my handsfree in the car.
I have a Clarion unit and it worked fine although I could not download contacts and it would not list tracks playing from the phone however it did receive,make calls and do what handsfree is meant to.
I downloaded ios5 yesterday and like thousands of other people I found that although the Clarion unit connects with the iphone as soon as a call comes in or you try to make an outgoing call it would lose the bluetooth connection and revert to the call being continued on the iphone.
Having tried many different things to fix it I eventually pressed the on/off button together with the large button with the square on it until the Apple icon appears on the screen and the phone switches off and reboots. When you press the buttons first it will ask if you want to switch off, keep pressing the buttons until the icon appears and the phone switches off properly and reboots.
I went out to try it and so far so good it seems to work, hopefully this will resolve the issues.
Another problem I had was my iphone seemed to thinl I had headphones plugged into it and although you could make a call and the receiving end could hear you, you couldnt hear them.
A visit to the Apple store 35 miles away and 3 technicians, several reboots, a complete wipe and reinstall and taking the phone away to "have a proper look" and nothing!
The best they could do is give me a new iphone at nearly £200. I declined.
Later that evening my son was playing with the phone and took a picture and guess what? It no longer thought that headphones were connected!
It would seem Apple has slighlty lost its way in making easy to use performance systems. When issues arise in updates it has produced, Apple completely ignores them and lets down thousands of loyal customers resulting in their integrity being severely damaged.
Its not all about flooding the market with Apple products, its about selling to new and retaining existing customers so they reinvest again. If they continue to ignore problems and what customers are complaining about then how long does it take until people grow tired of Apple technology that doesnt work and buy elsewhere?

I have noticed the same thing! Any suggestions??? I also notice that when I uncheck the boxes for not including music videos and voice memos the size of the music folder increases, and it does it so much so that I exceed the space on my phone.

Samsung Convoy 3 bluetooth connection problem

I am having connection issues with my Samsung Convoy 3 phone and Jabra Drive bluetooth. Initially the phone and device paired and connected great. I could leave the car and reconnect to the bluetooth with out an issue. Recently though, I have turned on the phone bluetooth then the Jabra Drive and they do not connect. I finally get them to connect after playing with different combinations of connecting on the phone and turning off and on the Jabra Drive. Although, it is not consistent on what combinations work. I have had to turn off the Convoy 3 and turn it back on if there was still a connection failure. Today, I had to turn the phone off and back on after the bluetooth functions were totally unavailable on the Convoy 3. Are other people having bluetooth connection issues with the Samsung Convoy 3? Is there a solution to this issue?

I have had the unit for just over 2 months and started having the issue about a month ago. Also, there is something new whick occured. When in the bluetooth menu on the phone trying to reconnect, the phone froze and rebooted (turned off and back on) by itsself. I have not tried the phone with a bluetooth headset since I do not currently have one - I would only use one in my car so I opted for an in car unit. My father has the same phone with the Jabra Drive unit and is experiencing the same problem. Other people I know are using the Jabra Drive and do not seem to be having this same issue with their phone and bluetooth unit. In the mean time, I will try to locate a bluetooth headset and see what happens.
