Bluetooth connection resolution?

Has anyone discovered the Bluetooth connection solution w/ our 4 S iphones? My BMW X5 won't locate the bluetooth - but had ZERO issues with my previous iphone version.

Hi Annie I have just seen this post and several others which have been archived but I've found nowhere where it says Apple have actually solved the issue.
I too have the same problem, the 4S wont pair with my car no matter how many times I try. It wont even pair with any other 4S in the same room as me.
I contacted Apple and when they got back to me I was told that I can only pair with another iphone (some hopes) - and, outrageously, it is just in case I bluetooth something I have purchased to someone else???? Also if it wont work it my car there is nothing Apple can do about it, it must be my car?????
Do you know anyone who has gotten a solution from Apple

I am having issues with my iphone6 bluetooth connection in my car. When going to settings under bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices. I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2. Do you know if there has been any resolution yet?

Issue with Iphone 6 iOS 8.1.1 - Bluetooth Connectivity

Bluetooth connection in Honda CRV continously drops and is not consistent.
Any resolution to fix this issue?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6 & 2012 Civic. Prior to iOS 8.1.1 the bluetooth always worked flawlessly, even with my iPhone 3G and 4S. Worked fine with my iPhone 6 until the 8.1.1 update. Removing and re-establishing the connection has not helped.
Apple, please please please:
Issue a patch ASAP fixing this and other bluetooth issues. This issue IS IMPACTING MY BUSINESS. I rely on the bluetooth capability of my iPhone to conduct business while in the car during my ~120min of commuting each day.
Provide the ability to roll-back to a previous version after an update. I understand the desire to tout the adoption rates of new iOS releases. But that is sure to begin declining as more people upgrade only to encounter issues that did not exist previously.
Thank you.

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.

Remote Desktop Connection - Resolution problem

Hi,
On my laptop i have Windows 8.1 Pro, with a resolution of 3200x1800. When i used RDP to a server that for example run windows 2008 r2, 2012 2003 etc, the resolution is very tiny. I have googled around and it seems like RDP does not support this change, even
if i change the fixed size, it changes only the window and not the connection resolution.
I have tried Remote Desktop Manager and mRemoteNG and these works ok, but what about the RDP client ?
Any FAQ from MS on this ?
Thanks for reply.
/Regards Andreas

Hi Andreas,
RDP 8.1 was made many changes. one is the addition of a new message that can be sent from the client to the server to dynamically update the resolution inside the remote session to match what is available on the client without the need to do a
complete reconnect of the session.
Thus the change is quick enough to be practically the same as a local change. If you don't want it change your resolution dynamically, make sure"let me choose one scalling level for all my display" checkbox is checked:
right click desktop, click Personalize, click display link at bottom left hand corner of the page, check "let me choose one scalling level for all my dispaly" checkbox, restart the computer to
take effect.
Don't forget set your display is "Full Screen" at the Remote Desktop Connection settings.

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.

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.
