Bluetooth headphones playback issues with iOS 6

Has anyone been experiencing some playback issues with the latest iOS 6 and Bluetooth headphones?
A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sony's MDR-1RBT Bluetooth headphones and ever since I updated my iOS devices (4S & iPad 2), playback of tracks has been lagging for the first few seconds. Whenever I choose a song on my iPhone or iPad's player, I just can't hear its first 3~10 seconds. I've contacted Sony about this issue and they bluntly replied that it's Apple's issue, but when I contacted Apple, they referred me to their Bluetooth connectivity site. In other words, my problem still hasn't been solved.
Could anyone help me solve this frustrating issue?
Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
    P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
    Is there any way I can fix this problem?
    Thanks

    My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
    The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

  • When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?

    Admittedly, this problem has been going on since Apple released the core iOS 8 software, but it's glaring (worse) here. Let's go to the beginning.
    I own an iPhone 4S 8gb and upon release of the core iOS 8 software, I installed it like a fool and I didn't know that a lot of problems came with it, so the next morning, my iPhone's internet (connected to a WiFi network) was shotty as sin and I really needed it at the time because of a Transit thing I was doing until recently. The features that came with the iOS 8 is impressive, but I also was shocked when I couldn't even listen to my music for a whole day (I fixed that when I hooked up and synced in iTunes), despite my library having the same number of songs before the update on the iPhone. Now, I've heard of these problems from a friend who apparently works for the Apple tech department days after I discovered them myself, so I waited for the next update in hopes that it'd fix all of the core iOS 8's problems, but... short and to the point, this update is even worse than the core software. Problems include, but not limited to:
    Safari lags like crazy at times, especially when you're trying to type something. Also, Safari seems to not direct you to Google unless you searched for the topic again; I don't like doing that. I like typing in a research topic in Google's engine only once.
    Siri is much worse than the 7.1.2 software; the assistant can't tell what you're saying 69% of the time. I'm also not pleased with holding the home button to speak to the assistant and continue holding it until you finish speaking to her/him.
    Apps freeze and become unresponsive and in common cases, they crash in the middle of the night (a perfect example would be YouTube) while I'm sleeping (not 100% sure who's to blame for this, Apple or the app developers themselves).
    (refer to the lagging Safari bullet) The keyboard lags on you badly and I'm not just talking about Safari, this problem is every where you need the keyboard in, including basic texting in iMessage.
    The Music app apparently can't judge your selection at times, like, when you select a song from your library, it takes 3 hard pushes on the touchscreen to select it and sometimes, it randomly selects the next song under the one you want to listen to.
    Did I mention the constant lag?
    I'll probably find more problems as I scan though the iPhone tonight, but above are the main problems that I have with 8.0.2, not 8. I know what you're probably saying: "Why not just downgrade back to 7.1.2 where you didn't have barely any problems at all with your iPhone?" Well, apparently, Apple stopped signing the software when I tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes to that firmware, so I find it completely pointless to try to downgrade. My core question is "When will these issues with iOS 8.0.2 be fixed?" I know the iPhone 4S can work with the newest iOS, because, if it wasn't, iTunes wouldn't have notified me of the update. I was thinking of getting an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus June or July of next year, but if the software is still buggy at the time, I'll stick to my 4S until my contract ends at the end of 2015

    Also, I've noticed that the 4S' battery life is horrible even if there's just music going on in the background. Common battery life for the iPhone is 3 hours (just having music and data active) and most of the time, I'd have to carry my USB charging cable with wall socket so I don't have to worry about it shutting down on the go and I know it's the software that's the problem because it wasn't like this prior to iOS 8.0.2 or even the core iOS 8. Common battery life for the iPhone on iOS 7.1.2 was atleast 7-9 hours on the same conditions as listed above.

  • [bug?] playback issues with QT browser plugin, any workarounds?

    I've noticed a playback issue with media files using the quicktime plugin (currently v7.1.3) with Firefox 1.5.0.x and now Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP (SP2):
    Description:
    When I open a media file in a separate tab or window, audio playback cuts out when I switch focus away from the tab or window (i.e. when it runs in the background). When I put the tab/window in the foreground again, playing resumes.
    Reproducible: Always
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open an mp3 file with quicktime plugin in a new tab
    2. Switch focus to some other tab or firefox window
    Expected Results:
    Audio playback should continue in the background.
    Actual Results:
    Audio playback cuts out and resumes once you click on the tab containing the plugin or if you hover over it with the cursor. The cutting and resuming out doesn't happen right away but after a short delay, suggesting that it might have something to do with thread prioritization.
    The file is completely buffered by quicktime, this is not about connection speed or bandwidth issues.
    Opening the link to the same file with right-click->Open Link in External Application works well.
    Someone else has filed a bug report against Firefox about this issue here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339449
    I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out not to be an issue with Gecko but with QuickTime.
    Can other users confirm this on XP? Is this a known QuickTime bug? Are there fixes or workarounds?
    Windows XP

    Yeah I had that thought as well but no joy. It works for the player but it doesn't solve my plugin problem. It really seems to be something about prioritizing, the way the audio cuts in and out - notice how it takes a few fractions of a second before a process loses its CPU cycles when you click away from it? You can observe this with System Monitor on the Mac or Linux or process explorer on XP. That's how the audio is cutting out and back in. I still think it's probably a bug/'feature' either with Gecko, the Firefox browser engine, or with the QT plugin..

  • Is there an issue with iOS 8.2?

    It seems like there are a lot of people that are experiencing issues with iOS 8.2.  I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened to me when I unknowingly updated my iTouch out of the box.
    Missing songs and playlists after update
    Nothing has worked to fix this.  Is there an Certified Apple representative on this board that can address this with all of us?  If so, what is the timeframe for fixing these issues?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Has anyone had app update issues with iOS 8.1?

    I'm running iOS 8.1 on a iPhone 6+.  If I try to update an app from the app store without being logged in, it will hang the process and the update will fail.
    Previously, with my iPhone 4 and iOS 7.1.2 the app store would ask me to log in when an app update was attempted without being logged in.
    The work around until apple fixes this bug is to ensure you are logged in BEFORE attempting an app update.  An honest techie at the local apple store admitted this is a bug (one of many) in iOS 8.1.  Has anyone else had this issue with iOS 8.1

    Nope, I'm able to update an app in iOS 8.1, even if I'm not first logged into the iTunes & App Store in Settings.  It prompts me to update the app, then I sign in with my password.
    Do you have Touch ID enabled for App Store or not?

  • Issues with IOS and WPA2 Enterprise

    Hi,
    Done a lot of searching on this, but can't find anything useful!
    I've got a network running WPA2 Enterprise using AES and PEAP/EAP-MSCHAP-V2
    For some reason, all our apple IOS devices connect to the network fine and are able to accept the server certificate, but can't seem to access anything over the network such as the internet once connected. I'm currently testing an iPad mini with IOS 7.0.4
    I have other devices such as laptops and a Windows Phone 8 devices, and everything works fine.
    Am I missing something here? What could be causing the IOS devices to stop accessing the network?
    Cheers,
    Carl.

    I just found this on the frontline support site, I believe my question has been answered:
    Important Notice
    iOS Devices
    Apple has made a change to the PushMagic or UnlockToken values in that they may differ in size to previous values. This can cause issues with iOS devices being able to connect to the Afaria server as the current database field size is not adequate to facilitate the variable length of this value.
    Apple has made a change to the PushMagic or UnlockToken values in that they may differ in size to previous values. This can cause issues with iOS devices being able to connect to the Afaria server as the current database field size is not adequate to facilitate the variable length of this value.
    There is an Apple issue that we have found in our testing that occurs when iOS devices are enrolled. This issue fails a check when the enrollment payload is inspected and the signing cannot be read. SAP believes Apple will fix this issue prior to iOS 7.1 being released but we are working on a patch that will address this issue shortly in case the fix does not make the iOS 7.1 GA release.
    Afaria will be providing a patch to address this issue that increases the size of the database column from 2K to 6K to accommodate this change.

  • Zen - AAC: Playback issue with long songs (± 15 min.)

    Hi,
    I made some tests with AAC Itunes plus files, and I've experiencing playback issue with long songs (when it's about 5 minutes or longer, like the second movement of Beethoven's third).
    During?playback, there is random artifacts added, never at the same place.
    I cleaned up my Zen 6 Gb and even formated it, and the problem still occurs. The latest firmware is installed.
    Is this issue has already been reported?
    Thanks.

    The Zen does in fact support AAC playback, but it's tricky--I've been dealing with this issue for a while, and I think it's finally solved. First of all, when you say "skipping," do you mean that the track skips ahead further into the same track, or does it skip to the next song with an error message like "There was an error with the audio file"? My problem was with the latter. There are a few possible solutions:
    . Delete the erroneous track from your Zen, then re-transfer; in my experience, this corrects the problem, although sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
    2. Make sure your AAC file is in iTunes Plus format (you can choose it in the ripping options in iTunes).
    3. If you haven't already done so, upgrade to Windows 7. This means upgrading to WMP2, which recognizes AAC files and can transfer them to your Zen. It also means you can download a version of Creative Centrale (from the Creative Support site) specifically for the Zen, which replaces the Zen Media Explorer and Creative Mediasource, and which seems to handle AAC transfers much better (so far, I haven't noticed any of the playback errors, but you never know!). By the way, WMP2 and Creative Centrale will also transfer album art easily to the Zen.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Bluetooth issues with IOS 5.0 and Volkswagen

    Ever since 5.0 came out my VW bluetooth connects ok in the car however when you leave the car ,the volume on the ringer stays at two bars and is almost inaudible. There are also playback issues at times of music when connected to VW bluetooth in that the volume stays at zero volume and i have to turn it up to hear the music. The ringer volume problem is the most annoying as it causes me to miss calls. Is anyone working on this?

    Great news everyone!!!  I installed iOS 5.1 beta on my iPhone 4 and the volume Bluetooth problem is gone!!!
    For most unless you are in the Apple iOS developer program you won't be able to install it yet but once it's released the problem should be fixed.
    Something to note..  I did have to turn the volume up once after it connected to my 2012 VW GTI.  Since then it has stayed where I put it and I couldn't be happier.
    Not happy with how long it took to get resolved but nonetheless happy it is resolved.  Let just hope it stays resolved when it goes public.

  • Need help with bluetooth headphones playback

    I have recently began to use Motorola S305 bluetooth headphones on my desktop computer. The headphones synch and work for playback of other audio, however, they do not play back when I listen to iTunes (upgraded to iTunes 9 today).
    I have checked and re-paired. When I test using the control panel or Windows Media Player, the headphones playback audio, however, when I play iTunes the sound reverts back to computer speakers.
    I would appreciate if someone could help me figure out how to get my headphones to work so I can get the full benefit of the purchase.
    Thank you

    Topher,
    I had the same problem too, but with a different headset...after some google searching and playing around, I found the solution. When your bluetooth headphones have a microphone, it actually uses a different service then the "stereo headphones" feature. When quicktime starts up in any capacity, it seems to default to whatever service that uses the microphone, not the speakers. All you need to do is change your microphone input to something else in Quicktime and it then defaults to the same playback service as everything else.
    Find the quicktime player on your system and open it up. Under Edit -> Preferences -> Quicktime Preferences, select the Audio tab. Click the "Select Audio Playback Devices" button.
    At this point, if you select your "Test Hardware" button, and you run through the test, I noticed that my microphone was recording, but my headphones were not playing back.
    All I did was change the "Voice Recording" default device from the microphone device in my headphones to my computer's built in microphone. Save all changes. You should notice that when you hit the "Test Hardware" button again, everything works as advertised.
    Hopefully that helps. It might be problematic if your bluetooth headphones have an included mic that you wanted to use in Quicktime. Good luck!

  • Bose bluetooth headphones pairing issue

    I have an iPhone 5 32Gb and an iPad 3 32Gb.  I had both running iOS 7.1 and my Bose Bluetooth headphones worked exactly as they should.  One of the great features of these is that they can pair to the iPhone and iPad at the same time, meaning that I can watch a video on my iPad and when the iPhone rings, it rings through the headphones and pauses the video. 
    Since upgrading both devices to iOS 7.1.1, I can only pair to one of them at a time.  Let's say that I am paired to my iPad, but now want to use my headphones to listen to music on my iPhone.  I now have to go into Bluetooth on my iPhone, have it forget the Bose headphones and then repair.  If I want to go back to my iPad, I have to go through the same process for the headphones to work on that device. 
    Has anyone else come across this issue?  From briefly looking at this forum, Apple seems to have made a mess of Bluetooth in this iOS release.  Any ideas on a fix? 

    I actually did both iPhone and iPad tethered to iTunes. I favour doing this instead of OTA.  The iPhone was a replacement from Apple and immediately updated through iTunes to iOS 7.1.1. 
    @Peter Gillespie, are you using an iPhone and iPad with your AE2? 

  • Bluetooth Headphones not working with the Nano 6th Gen

    I was wondering if anyone else out there has issues with using bluetooth headphone with the new nano. I have a pair of Motorola Motoroka S9 headphones and have to use the D650 Adapter with it and when I plug into the bottom of the iPod I get "Unsupported" Accessory is not supported. As I know Apple hates to put bluetooth in anything other then iPod Touch & iPhones. What's up with that?? All my other nanos 2nd & 3rd Gens work fine with the adapter......but my current and newest one doesn't. Anyone else having that issue?

    SchuFlee wrote:
    How did you reboot the ipod nano 6th gen?
    Two things this thing needs.
    1. Digital / regular watch face combo.
    2. capable bluetooth headphones. Either a plug in add-on to either headphone or multi-pin port. Also a speaker of some sort to tell that an alarm is going off.
    I use alarms on my watch.
    more watch face designs(digital and analogue) would be awesome.

  • Anyone having vimeo playback issues with Safari 5.1.10 running OS 10.6.8?

    Since upgrading to Safari 5.1.10 for snow leopard I've notice play back issues with some of my video's posted on vimeo. Video pops up or down in brighteness and contrast and in one case goes all pixelated for one shot and back to normal after that.
    http://www.marcosdurian.com/Five_Hours_South.html
    @ aprox: 02:07-02:11 (brightness/contrast pop) & 03:38-03:41 (sever pixelation)
    http://www.marcosdurian.com/Narrative.html     (Northbay - the first clip)
    @ aprox 00:28-00:50 (brightness/contrast pops)
    The video files playback normal in FireFox, Safari 6.0.5 on 13" Macbook pro. Also plays normal on iPhone 5 w/ ios 6. The files also playback normal on the vimeo website when viewed as flash player but when switched to HTML5 Player the issue is back.
    Please advise.
    thx

    I looked at the first one - I see the same behaviour  here on 5.1.10
    When viewed in Safari, the vimeo iframe code is defaulting to 'HD'  from the several HTML5 versions of video available - the oddness around 3.38 (screenshot below) is visible on that version in any browser, or even if downloaded & played in quicktime. Firefox defaults to Flash, here anyway. Switching 'HD' off in the player, loads a different file, without the problems.
    I haven't looked in Safari 6 - but it's presumably using a different file.
    Vimeo's conversion seems to have slipped up.

  • Issues with ios 8.3 update on iPhone 5

    After updating my iPhone 5 to ios 8.3, I am unable to stream purchased music and videos from iTunes or any podcasts. I also can not stream videos on YouTube, Netflix, or Safari. Nothing works on both Wi-Fi and my normal data. If I could I would try to turn off the phone and restart but unfortunately my iPhone 5 is one of the ones that has the faulty lock button that needs to be repaired. But besides that, has anybody else been having issues with streaming music and videos?

    i'm looking for people with problems on iphone 5 with 8.3 because i'm still on ios7 and considering to upgrade
    but if you have problem with turning off the phone,
    you can set up "assistive touch" from setting > general > accessibility > assistive touch (down the bottom)
    you can also set this on the accessibility shortcut for the triple click on the home button to show/hide the assitive touch
    you'll see a black circle floating on the screen somewhere. you can move this thing around if it blocks what you want to see/tap
    now to turn off your phone you can tap the assistive touch button > device > tap and hold the 'lock screen' icon until the power off slider comes up.
    so you don't really have to fix the lock button

Maybe you are looking for
