Bluetooth doesn't work on iphone 5

I can turn on bluetooth on my iphone 5 but it doesn't find any other devices. My other devices (phones and laptops) don't see the iphone either. What could I be doing wrong?

What other device are you attempting to connect to and how are you doing that?
If the iphone is in discovery mode (accomplished by turning on BT in settings) and the pairing device is searching you should be able to connect those two devices.... depending on the available BT profiles of the non iphone 5 device...
What kind of device is it... what are you trying to transfer or do once connected?

If your Iphone is under warranty don't worry about it. But try a hard reset.
Good luck!

Keynote Remote Doesn't work with iPhone, iPad

Hi,
I have the latest versions of Keynote on my iPhone 5S, iPad 4 and MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display.
All three devices on the same WiFi network. Using WiFi I was able to remotely control/play the presetatnion between iPhone 5S and MacBook.
However, it doesn't work between iPhone 5S and iPad 4. Any help ?
I tried Bluetooth as well. They seem to not discover each other and neither able to remote control.
Any tips ?
Thanks.

After having to upgrade to the latest version of iOS Keynote (because I edited one of my presentations online through iCloud), I received the message that Keynote Remote is to be discontinued. The alternative they offer is to download Keynote onto your iPhone as they have integrated the remote feature into the full program.
The problem that I found is that space is more of a premium on my iPhone than my iPad and I don't use the full program on the iPhone, as the remote app takes only 3MB and the full app? 444MB.
I hope Apple receive similar complaints about this as nearly half a Gig for what will amount to a remote for Keynote is preposterous. I have already purchased my 16GB 5S, it's not as if I can put more memory in it now.

You don't update using *228 on devices with Sim cards on Verizon. IIRC it'll update automatically or after a restart.

My phone is working fine. My wife's did last week but not now. I've turned phone off and rebooted. Also, when I try to "sign in using apple id " it tells me it could not sign in. Check network connection and try again. However the phone is connecting to my wifi network. Suggestions?

Bluetooth no longer works between iPhone 5 running iOS8 and my 2012 Buick LaCrosse

Since I uploaded the new iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 the Bluetooth connection is no longer working correctly in my 2012 Buick LaCrosse. The phone pairs (illuminating the Bluetooth icon in the car stereo display) however then it doesn't work. I cannot receive calls or can't make calls. The iPhone display shows "Calling" and the number shows, but nothing happens.
I tried the suggestion from ChrisJ4203 below, however it did not work for me.
“Go into the phone and remove the vehicle from the Bluetooth list. Turn Bluetooth off, and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Then go into the vehicle and remove the iPhone from the list of paired devices. Turn the vehicle off and then back on again. Place the vehicle's system into discovery/pairing mode. Go into Settings on the phone and turn Bluetooth on. The devices should see each other.”
Any other ideas? My iPhone worked fine from Jan 2012 to now in this same car.

We have a 2011 Buick Enclave and the Pairing worked. I did have to hold the phone button, say Bluetooth, Say Delete, Say the specific device to Delete ...The Pair, I think enter the code (which changes each time you Pair) and then Name the New paired Device. To test it, I typically have to turn the vehicle off, leave the vehicle and walk far enough away to make sure the phone is not paired. While away, tune the phone totally off. Turn the phone back on, enter and turn key far enough to have the electrical systems come on, and then push the phone button in the car. Good Luck.

I have an Iphone4 and recently bought a car that has bluetooth. The bluetooth doesn't work when I tell it a name to call. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have a iphone4 and recently bought a car that has bluetooth. When I tell it a name to call it doesn't work. If I tell it the phone # it works. Has anyone had this trouble and how can I fix it?

In most cars with built-in BT hands-free systems it is the car's system that does the speech to text conversion and lookup, not the phone's. so there's nothing that can be done in an iPhone forum to help you. Try the customer support site for the car. You can tell it's the car system if the contact list is downloaded to the car and displayed on the car's screen (if it has one).

Bluetooth doesn't work on iPhone6 and no restore from iTunes

Once again Apple released a buggy phone. Much like the iPhone5, iPhone6 has already shown issues in the connectivity department. Thousands of users have already blogged about it all over the internet, so I hope that Apple steps up to the plate and fixes the issue ASAP.
Bluetooth DOES NOT WORK! Tested repeatedly on my 2014 Super Duty, 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 2014 Ford Mustang GT, 2013 Scion FR-S. The device struggled to pair on each and every vehicle. Once finally conncted the voice commands don't work, and good luck trying to answer the phone!! If you manage to (highly unlikely), the conversation is possible only through the phone, not through Bluetooth.
Get with the program Apple. If you released a phone that was not ready for release just to compete with Samsung, LG and HTC, that says a lot about your company. The customers are not guinea pigs - If you intended to use the public as testers, you should have given all of us a considerable discount on the purchase and warned us about the potential bugs.
Additionally the data restore from iPhone5 through both iTunes (v11.4.0.18 which is the latest one) and/or iCloud, doesn't work either. My iPhone5 was successfully updated to IOS8 and backed up on iTunes. As soon as I connected the iPhone6 and tried to restore the backup, an untrue pop up saying "iTunes cannot restore your backup because it's either corrupted or incompatible with this device" showed on my screen. I performed 5 backups of my iPhone5 through iTunes (all of them competed successfully by the way), but each time I tried to restore them on the iPhone6, I got the same error message.
Being an IT guy I started fiddling with settings, hidden files, locked files, until I got it to work by simply checking the "encrypt backup" box in iTunes. It was a big waste of time, and it would be nice if Apple knew about these issues before they released a new phone.
P.S. THe internet is full of blogs about this backup restore issue on iPhone6: obviously I was not the only one.
Get it together Apple.

I'm sorry you're not having a positive experience. I set up two iPhone 6's from iPhone 5 backup's via Wifi and paired both seamlessly with our 2012 Mercedes cars without an difficulty.
I don't know if this is your first post, but you are not writing Apple on this forum. This is a user to user forum and you are only writing other users. If you are not pleased, feel free to contact Apple directly via the link I've supplied. I hope you get your issues resolved to your satisfaction. But because you are having issues, does not mean everyone is. I know lot's of people who now have iPhone 6. None of them have experienced any issues pairing to their cars Bluetooth system, or setting them up from previous phone backups.

Bluetooth doesn't work on iOS 7.02

iOS 7.02 doesn't work on my Bluetooth kia rundo 2014,,,,apple fix it

First make sure your Bluetooth is turned on by swiping upward and clicking the Bluetooth icon on Control Center. If that isn't the problem make sure you delete your previous pairing completely with the car and with any other previously connected Bluetooth device. The pair the iPhone with the vehicle and with other devices.

Video call doesn't work on iphone 6 iOS 8.1.3

I have a iphone 6 with iOS 8.1.3, updated skype to version 5.10, all functions works fine but video call. the icon of video call doesn't respond (it stays blue when you click it), camera was turned on in setting also under privacy, I can use camera to take my photo for screen photo, that means the camera was setting correctly, but only video call doesn't work, can anyone help? Thanks a lot in advance.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:
