Bluetooth Headset keeps disconnecting

I don't know if this problem has already been covered or not, but I have the Jawbone headset, and every time I turn my phone back on, even though it says 'Paired' under General Settings, the audio on my phonecalls comes out of the iPhone speaker, with no option to use the Jawbone as a headset during the call. I have to unpair it, re-pair it, and re-enter the passcode to sync up the two again.
Why doesn't it stay paired? Its supposed to be a one-time setup and go thing.

I have the same problem here, well, if the phone gets out of range from the headset, it never "reconnects" when brought back to the iPhone.
This is with a Plantronics 640 headset. It says paired in the iPhone bluetooth page, buit can't be used.
None of the machinations that used to reconnect the headset with my old phone seem to work (hitting the button on the headset, holding the button on the headset, turning the headset off then on, turning the phone off then on, turning bluetooth off on the phone then back on....)
I'm not really sure what to try next.

  • PowerBook G4 "Sees" Bluetooth Headset but Disconnects During Use

    At the recommendation of an Apple Store saleperson, I purchased a Motorola Bluetooth Handsfree Headset (Model H700). I have successfully connected to the Mac (G4 PowerBook), and it recognizes the unit as being connected properly.
    When I try to listen to iTunes, or make a SKYPE call with the headset active, I get a message "Bluetooth audio disconnected. You headset unexpectedly disconnected. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted."
    I have spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple Tech Support, and Motorola. No one has a clue what this means or how to fix it. Any ideas?
    The setup assistant on the Mac shows everything to be checked out just fine. The headset works because I can hear it "beep" in my ear when I turn it on.
    HELP!

    What I've discovered is that I can't set my bluetooth headset as the default audio output device... that causes all sorts of weirdness, usually resulting in my having to reboot the OS.
    That said, I have no trouble using my headset with Skype. I leave the defaults under the Sound system preferences panel to Internal speakers / microphone, but I set the audio input / output to my headset on the Skpye Audio preferences page.

  • Sony ps3 bluetooth headset keeps turning itself off

    I recently purchased the official sony ps3 bluetooth headset, hoping it would also work with my mac. I've paired it, and successfully used it but the headset itself keeps turning off. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks~

    Yes, it's fully charged. I plan on posting on the sony forums also, but I figured I'd try this approach also, given I have a feeling both companies are going to put the blame on the other. It does seem like sony's issue to me though, but you never know. I was just hoping I'd find someone who had the same experience (or a good experience where it does work) on these forums.

  • IOS 4.3 Bluetooth Headset Problem

    Does anyone have this similar problem?
    My bluetooth headset (handsfree) disconnects intermittently every few minutes (and auto reconnects in 10 to 20 secs). The "Personal Hotspot" option was disabled as I thought it was interferring with the bluetooh connection.
    But after some trial and error, I disabled the Wi-Fi option, and it solved the bluetooth disconnection problem.
    Prior to IOS 4.2, I have never encountered this problem. Does anyone know how I can downgrade back to IOS4.2?

    After upgrading to iOS 4.3, within a few days later my Jabra WAVE encountered problems with its Bluetooth connectivity. I had no problems pairing with both my iPhone4 and my MacBook (aluminium uni-body model). Unfortunately, I can't control my Jabra WAVE's volume control any more which was clearly shown on my iPhone4. Worse of all, I can hear the caller's voice but not vice versa.
    I thought my Jabra WAVE was faulty, and I tested it on Skype via my MacBook. To my surprise it worked flawlessly. I've a hunch that iOS 4.3 is still very buggy, and Apple iOS engineers haven't rectified lots of these bugs since the last version.
    This is a terrible pain for everyone who's upgraded to iOS 4.3. Bummer

  • Audio does not behave correctly when Bluetooth headset disconnects

    When a Bluetooth audio receiver disconnects, Windows reverts to another active audio connection.  However, the programs that were previously using the Bluetooth connection do not transfer to the new audio connection and reactivating the Bluetooth connection
    does not get the audio from those programs back.  
    The only way to make them work again is to close the program and reopen it.  As a gamer - this is particularly a problem when batteries die.  Usually I would just swap the batteries in 10 seconds and turn the headphones back on, however it is not
    possible due to this issue.  Exiting the game would ruin my team's experience as 5+ minutes is approximately 10% of the game's average total time.

    Hi,
    There are 3 reasons I can think out:
    1. Bluetooth driver was not released when it is disconnected suddenly, this can be caused by Bluetooth software.
    2. Audio driver can be corrupted.
    3. There is the problem on the program itself.
    I recommend you do following test:
    Open Windows media player to play music with Bluetooth headset, and then disconnect Bluetooth headset and see if the headphones can work fine with media player.
    If it works fine, the issue is on the program you run with problem. Contacting the program provider would be more helpful.
    Otherwise, it's related to Bluetooth driver or software, please try to update them from manufacturer's website to see what's going on.
    Also, please check if there is any event related to this issue in Event viewer.

  • Bluetooth headset disconnects if not in iTunes

    I have a Creative WP-450 Bluetooth Headset.
    I have a MacBook Air Summer 2012.
    I connect my headset.
    iTunes pops up.
    All is fine as long as I listen to music in iTunes.
    IF I close iTunes and stream media throug my browser or do anything other than listen to music on iTunes (ie play a game) the headset beeps every 2 minutes for a bit and then the headset disconnects.
    There is nothing wrong with the battery, I can listen to iTunes for hours with no issue.
    I can listen to my music on my phone for hours and hours.
    Minutes after pairing and closing iTunes on my Air, headphone beeps and then headphone shut-down.
    WHY? Its killing me! I want to use these for ventrillo or skype or just watching cartoons.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi, 
    Depending on which headset you are using the headset may disconnect to a kind of standby mode. The headset will auto connect to your phone when you are placing or receiving a call. Depending on which software you can also force a connection by tapping the call button.

  • Bluetooth headset disconnecting

    I am using a BT 4517 Bluetooth Headset with my 6600.
    I can connect the phone with the headset and everything works fine however after a short time (less than a minute) the phone disconnects from the headset. I have tried the headset on my daughters phone (samsung d600) and it stays connected. Any help with this would be great.
    Robert

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply. I bought this headset from Tesco and it was sold as a general bluetooth headset and I was not aware of it had to be compatible. I thought Bluetooth was a standard that went across any platforms like, say, USB.

  • Skype disconnects Bluetooth headset

    I connect my Bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager Pro) and it connects fine in Windows 7. As soon as I start Skype, the Bluetooth headset disconnects. In the Skype options, the Bluetooth device is greyed out and I cannot even remove it. I have reinstalled Skype 5.5, but with the same results. The headset works fine except in Skype.
    This appeared to happen after the last update as it was working fine previously.

  • Bluetooth keeps disconnecting

    I have a Nokia 6230i v03.80 and a USB bluetooth stick that uses the standard windows bluetooth driver. The phone and PC recognise and pair with each other, but keep disconnecting. Sometimes it reconnects automatically and other times it doesn't. What could be causing this and is there a solution? Thanks.

    Did anyone get a sensible answer as to why the 6230i keeps disconnecting from the Nokia PC suite (6.8.22) when bluetooth is used.
    I have the same problem using a Dell Latitude D400 using Bluetooth (WIDCOMM) and a Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth module hardware. The PC is running XP Prof. SP2 and the mail system is Lotus Notes 6x.
    The Nokia PC applications disconnect for no apparent reason though 6230i registers that the bluetooth connection is still "Active" and that the PC and 6230i are still paired. I have to disconnect via the phone and reconnect again via the PC and everything works again for a while.
    There is no particular reason why the disconnection occurs - I've tried most things suggested in the forum without luck.
    Is there a solution? I have to use Nokia because I'm using a company telephone.

  • Bluetooth wireless keyboard keeps disconnecting

    Hello,
    My wireless keyboard {small aluminum, no numeric pad}  keeps disconnecting after i changed the batteries yesterday - the keyboard is found and paired to my iMac, however whenever i press the Command key, it disconnects if i press the space bar it outputs a space followed by the letter 'n' {like so " n"} also i cannot use the delete key, very strange!
    I have tried resetting the PRAM, disconnecting the keyboard and starting over, but still getting the same problems, any ideas on how i can fix this?
    KR,
    Aaron

    Hello:
    Try a couple of things:
    1.  Reset the SMC (you already have reset the PRAM).
    2.  Trash a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and then restart.
    3.  Make the KB a favorite.
    If none of that helps, try removing and then replacing the batteries.
    If none of that works, I would suspect a failing KB.

  • Bluetooth headset disconnecting when not in use

    I noticed that when not in use, the Sony Bluetooth headset disconnects from the phone. Didn't see that problem with the Samsung Galaxy Music. Is this a battery saving feature of Stamina mode?

  • QOSMIO X500-12D - webcam, bluetooth and fingerprint disconnection issues

    Hello,
    I still got no solution for this problem. I already did a clean install of Win 7 x64 but still no luck. The devices still keeping disconnecting and I have to reboot to resolve. (this is bad since I normaly using a bluetooth keyboard)
    Further this Problem seems not only to occour if system goes 'idle' since my bluetooth keyboard was disconnected during typing. (whatever 'idle' means).
    Sometimes I was able to recover at least the Bluetooth connection by turn it off and on again within the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack, sometimes with the HW switch (which also deactivates the WLAN) and sometimes only a reboot helped.
    It seems that all three devices (Bluetooth, Webcam, Fingerprintsensor) are connected to the same integrated USB root hub within the system.
    After my last test, everything was working before I left the system during a nightly copy operation of a 'few' gig, I come back after ~4 hours and all devices were disconnected (HW not installed) --> I checked in the device manager (see [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257] to show devices which are not connected and in the computermanagement right click device manager -> View -> Show hidden devices) all 3 devices shown as 'not connected'.
    I already opened a case at support and they told me to update the bios. (when I opened the call the tests were done with the latest bios available)
    Nevertheless, I also had a small talk with the support and they told me to restore the system from the recovery DVD's and check if the problem persists after the restore of the 'certified' image (drivers and so on). If it still persists they will do a HW repair. (change mainboard or whatever)
    *AGAIN... is there still NO solution out there? I have searched the web and found many people with the same issues. (X500 owners and others)*
    _What did i tried:_
    - different hotfixes as described at [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UQ0001R01.htm] and [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ0402UC0001R01.htm] ([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258])
    - right now I am using [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981214] since the build numbers of the files are higher than in the hotfix mentioned above and therefor this hotfix should also resolve the problem described in [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978258]. (and I am using an USB audio device)
    - I also tried to disable different things of the power management (e.g. disabled usb selective suspending)

    HI,
    It seems that I have found a solution for this problem.
    If you have read my first post exactly you should have read that i already disabled the selective USB suspend.
    I have connected 2 external USB hubs which are powered by an AC/DC adapter. On this USB hubs I have connected varios USB devices...7.1 USB Headset, external HDD's, PDA, Card Reader, PKI device, USB Sticks, etc.
    Nevertheless, I also disabled the the Powermanagement settings on all devices which were involved and where it is possible.
    To do this goto the device manager --> right click --> View --> show devices by connection.
    Now locate your bluetooth, webcam and fingerprint device. (be carefull names might be different because of different drivers!)
    Should be under ACPI x64-based PC --> PCI-Bus --> Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller --> {color:#ff0000}*USB-Root-Hub*{color} --> {color:#ff0000}*Generic USB Hub*{color} -->
    There you should find all integrated devices which are troublemaker:
    * {color:#ff0000}*AuthenTec Inc. AES2550*{color}
    * Bluetooth USB Controller-7 from TOSHIBA
    * USB-Webcam
    Now double click every device in this 'chain' and locate the powermanagement TAB. (Please note that NOT all devices in this chain do have a powermanagement tab and cannot be configured....that's ok)
    On the power management tab uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' and click OK.
    I have done this for all devices which are {color:#ff0000}*marked red in the chain above*{color}. (_I also deactivated the USB selective suspend in the used powermanagement plan!)_
    It seems to work now....until now no more bluetooth problem or devices which were gone. It might be that it is enough to disable the Power saving settings only on one or two devices, but right now i had no time to test.
    Please also keep in mind that I am using the latest Intel Chipset driver, latest Toshiba drivers and installed the Microsoft hotfixes described in my first post in this thread!
    It would be very nice if some people can try and post here if it works!
    Regards

  • 7205 Intrigue and Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

    I am having two issues with my 7205 and Plantronics Voyager Pro:
    1.  Occassionally I will be on a call using the BT headset, and I am unable to disconnect or enter any numbers (such as press 1 for English) at all.  The only way I can disconnect is through the headset disconnect button.  This happens rarely, but is difficult if I am trying to use a menu or enter a callback number.
    2.  The headset will disconnect from the phone if I am not on a call.  This happens 30 seconds after the end of a call.  If I reconnect the headset, it will still disconnect 30 seconds later unless I make a call.  This "behaviour" will continue for a few days.  Then it will begin to act normally, keeping the bluetooth connection whether I am on a call or not.  This will continue for a couple of weeks, then it will spontaneously start to disconnect 30 seconds after a call ends.
    Verizon has replaced the phone, and Plantronics has replaced the headset
    Any ideas?

    I should works since it supports the A2DP and AVRCP profiles which are also supported by the iPad. From the Plantronics site:
    Bluetooth Profiles Supported:
    Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP)
    Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP)
    Hands-free v1.5 (HFP)
    Headset v1.1 (HSP)

  • E72 bluetooth headset problems

    Hi guys
    I just got my E72 2 days, so far so good for me except for this weird bluetooth problem.
    When using bluetooth headset for calls, the connection with the headset will be dropped but the call will remain online. I had to switch over the handset. The headset will indicate that the connection had been dropped but the phone will still show that it is connected to the headset. Previously i had the similiar problem with E71 but the E71 will drop the headset connection after a while. Once in a while, all i need to do is to toggle the bluetooth setting off and on to recover the bluetooth connectivity. E72 keep showing that the headset connection is active even if i toggle the bluetooth connection off.
    The error setting can only be solved by restarting the phone. does anyone have a solution for this? maybe new firmware from nokia to address such problem? or am i the only one with this problem

    I just talket to Nokia's helpdesk. They say that the E72 har microsoft bluetooth stack, and Plantronics uses toshiba bluetooth stack. They therefore do not guarantee compability.
    So Nokia and Plantronics Voyager Pro does not work together. 
    I am having this problem even with Nokia BH-904 headset, not only with another brand (Jabra JX10 Series II in my case). So this theory does not hold.
    However, it seems my E72 had re-adjusted itslef somehow. I still get the headset disconnected, but I do not have to power-cycle the phone anymore. I just have to turn off and back on the bluetooth headset and it will re-connect with the phone, even during conversation. It takes a a few seconds, but I do not have to end the conversation anymore, just keep talking on the handset while I power off and back on the headset. If course it is difficult when driving :-)

  • Wired headset v bluetooth headset

    While my iPhone 6 128gb was connected to a wired headset, the device kept disconnecting from the wired headset and connecting to a bluetooth headset in my office.  I kept reconnecting it to the wired headset but the iPhone would keep dropping that connection in favor of the bluetooth connection.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Turn off bluetooth.
