Bluetooth discovery issues

I have a Jabra 350 which I successfuly paired with my iPhone. When I turn Bluetooth on in my phone's settings, and then turn on the Jabra, the phone doesn't "discover" it; it just keeps searching for it.
Any solutions?

If you've already paired it then that's all you have to do. It will remain paired until you select it and choose "Unpair". The reason you keep seeing the twirly gizmo is because the iPhone is continually looking for other bluetooth devices. What I have to do a lot is once my bluetooth device is on and of course I've turned on bluetooth on the iPhone, is press the button on the headset for it to call the last # dialed, then the iPhone recognizes the headset. Most of the time until I do that, it acts like it's not paired, but it is. After that, then I don't have any trouble with it at all.
You should see your device listed when you go to bluetooth area on the iPhone. Across from your device listing, you should be able to see the word "Paired". If you don't see that, then something went wrong in the pairing sequence.

Bluetooth discovery issue in iPhone4

Am having iphone4 unlock version purchased in US and using the same in India. I could never get any of the device discovered in my iphone, ive switched on the personal hotspot, and bluetooth as well.
Even my ipod is not visible/discovered in my iphone4. But ipod recognizes the iphone4. Strange.
till now unsuccessful discovering any device in my iphone. Any help is really appreciated.
Am in India and please let me know how to get a replacement if this issue is not resolved. I dont want to have this much trouble after having paid to get a phone worth 800$
My iphone is having latest ios5.0,1

The iPhone does not support bluetooth file transfer. You can not pair it with another phone or iPod or a computer. You can tether via Personal hotspot, but that's a different animal.
In short, nothing is wrong. You can't do that.

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

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).

Bluetooth Connectivity Issues Resolved

It took me a bit of time to sort these two things out, so just want to share:
Problem is Bluetooth connectivity to PC so that I can use the Desktop Manager:
Using: Windows XP PRO, SP3 - Blackberry 8220 Pearl flip
1) The first issue had to do with ANY Bluetooth connectivity to the synchronization program (Desktop Software). I was actually told by the carrier tech services folks that it just wouldn't work right, so connect via USB.
After a LOT of research, what I found is this: Blackberry connectivity only wanted to recognize the Windows NATIVE Bluetooth connector. I was using something else a lot more powerful, and that worked on everything else I tried... but not with the Blackberry synch software. I uninstalled the 3rd party connector and just ran the Windows version and everything worked perfectly immediately.
I do not know whether this is still the case, but it absolutely was the problem less than 1-year ago. I found the clues in some of the Blackberry Support Knowledge Base info. (Clue only.)
2) Just today, and what prompted this note is a different issue. I recently upgraded to Blackberry Desktop Software version 4.6.0.180, and guess what? The Bluetooth connectivity again would not work. Again, everything looked great. The program could see the phone OK, but it would not connect to allow sync with the application.
Answer is this: The upgrade opened two ports in my Windows Firewall (which makes sense)... but it did not erase or delete the previous open port settings. What I found was this:
(Under Firewall Exceptions)
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service data transfer TCP - Port 4482
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service data transfer TCP - Port 4481
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service discovery UDP - Port 4482
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service discovery UDP - Port 4481
So... The Firewall didn't know what to do because it had the same 2 ports opened under exceptions as both UDP and TCP for the same port numbers. (i.e., Port 4482 as BOTH UDP and TCP)
The fix was simple... just delete the opposing exceptions so that "...Data Transfer" was TCP on Port 4481, and "...Service Discovery" was UDO on Port 4482. (Doesn't matter which, just that one is on a different port than the other.)
How? Open the Windows Security Center -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions Tap -> Scan down until you find the two applications above. By highlighting and clicking EDIT you can determine what port numbers are assigned and make the fix by deleting opposing assignments as mentioned.
Sorry for this verbose message, but this was a hassle for me, and I hope it helps someone else before they either give up or start tearing away their hair in frustration.
(NOTE: This is my first post here, so if this should be located in another area please do send it there or let me know what I should do.)

So, this is interesting. I appreciate the post.
I, too, had issues with Bluetooth connectivity with DM 4.x. I ttried many times, even had the native Windows drivers installed, and all worked except that the ability to select the BT option in DM was greyed out and not available. Is this the problem you had and that this fix solved? I never did figure it out and subsequently reloaded Windows after a HDD crash and it's worked after that.
I currently have DM6 and haven't even bothered with Bluetooth on the PC because it's always been more trouble than it's worth. I do have the 4 entries in the Windows Firewall as you describe but my Windows Firewall is turned off (don't remember if it was turned on before but i don't think so).

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!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

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!!
