Bluetooth in car has serious echo problems.

I see from the number of posts on a number of threads that the new 3G iPhone has problems with many cars from different manufacturers. My car is no exception.
What do you think? Is this a problem that requires a firmware update of the phone, or has Apple chosen hardware in the phone that is not compatible with all these cars.
I am deciding whether or not to return the phone. I use my phone in the car every day I drive, and the echo problem is so severe that I cannot use the phone. If Apple addresses the issue I will be patient and wait for a fix, but if they do not address the issue, the phone will be returned prior to the 14 day policy expiration.

Yes, it is always on. As I said, with my BB, I would just set my BB to discover.
I understand, is the iPhones Bluetooth on?
I never tried to input while the care is moving.
Yes, but can the PASSENGER input an address while the vehicle is moving?
I ask because a man returned a Lexus do to this issue.

    Can I download contacts to my car using bluetooth? Car has a mode I can select, but not sure what I need to do on the phone.

    If your car supports Phone Book Access Profile(PBAP), you don't need to do anything on your phone other than pair. The phone supports PBAP.

  • Bluetooth with Mercedes Benz C300 - Echo Problems

    When making a call using the handsfree car kit (MB C300) the person receiving the call has a horrible echo which, according to them, is so bad they can't stand to talk. I can't hear it on my end. I have tried turning the volume down on the phone and in the car which helped a little but did not fix the problem.
    Any ideas about how this situation can be fixed? I am hoping it is just a simple setting adjustment on the phone.
    Thanks

    Anyone else get a dealership update on their Mercedes C300 software? My 2008 C300 works great with original iPhone except address book doesn't sync. Also, has ANYONE had success with 3G in a 2008 C300? I would like to upgrade but have not read any message where a 3G has worked with a C300. thanks, ralph

  • Safari 5.1.4 update has serious Javascript problem.

    I cannot properly access most sites using javascript.  This has affected Safari, Chrome, Firefox.  How do I revert to previous version?

    Are you able to log in to any of the sites if you use a different user agent? (Perhaps one of the mobile safari user agents?)
    To get access to the User agents via the Develop Menu, go into your Safari advanced preferences and select "Show develop menu in menu bar":

  • My iPhone 5 has serious battery problems.

    One, the battery only lasts about 45 minutes - to an hour, and when it dies and I plug it in it'll take 2-3 hours to even turn on. What can I do?

    Restore the phone as a new device.  Do not use backup at all.  You most likely have a rogue app or mail setting that's contstantly trying to access the internet. 
    If after a restore as NEW you still have battery issues, bring the phone (while it's still under warranty) to Apple for evaluations.

  • Galaxy S5 echo problem- only for other parties

    Ok, similar to many others, my couple month old phone Galaxy  S5 has an echo problem. Situation is: Only other party hears it (not me), other party does not hear it when I am on microphone, or bluetooth, or speaker, which I think rules out a SIM card issue. Removed case, no effect. Resets, no effect. Take off battery cover, works good but not a realistic approach.
    Defective phone? If I have a full warranty coverage, will I get a new phone or refurbished, once this is determined to be defective...which it is? thank you.

    My TalkBack app was not on and I just got my phone 2 days ago...I cannot use my speaker without people saying they hear an echo.  Also...when I have my phone not on speaker phone it is SO loud I can hear the person talking without putting the phone to my ear...I tried to turn the sound down...it's down all the way and still super loud...ugh...

  • Serious performance problems on iWeb site

    Can anyone help me find the problem with peterlance.com? It looks like author Peter Lance uses iWeb to update his web site. He redesigned it recently (and did not use iWeb for the old design). Anyway, it has serious performance problems on Internet Explorer, which I was hoping you guys could help pinpoint? Is there something simple I can tell him to try to fix the problem? He is launching a new book on Tuesday so he will be getting a lot of traffic, but for now the response time is not very good. Any suggestions?
    In particular, each new page seems to hang for about ten seconds and freeze using Internet Explorer 6. Any fixes?
    I mean, fixes other than: "Don't use Internet Explorer!"

    Welcome to the discussions, TopDog08.
    There are several plain .jpg's and that's good, but you need to convert every .png on the page (or as many .png's as you can) to a .jpg. For example,
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/shapeimage46.png
    Convert that to a jpg, then replace the graphic and text on the iWeb page with this converted jpg (some have has success using Downsize http://www.stuntsoftware.com/Downsize/)
    The ones you won't be able to do anything about are the ones that are a part of the blog, but that will be only 5 images instead of the many you have now.
    This image
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/shapeimage50.png
    Is covering part of your menu which is why it appears that only the top half is sensitive to rolling over. You'll have to adjust your layout to account for this.
    Another area to look at, there are white boxed png's surrounding the amazon book covers at the top.
    http://www.peterlance.com/Peter%20Lance/Home/Homefiles/imageEffectsAboveAli%20Mug%20TPI%20jpg.png
    Another set of .png's you'll have to get rid of. How did those get put on the page?
    What you see happening with IE is a java script running to fix IE's problem with png's. The fewer .png's you have, the less of a problem with IE you have.

  • Bluethooth  connects with car bluetooth but no sound. This problem started after up dating to IOS 8.0.2. Any suggestion to fix the problem?

    iPhone: 5s,
    Problem started after IOS 8 up date.
    Problem: Bluetooth connection with car indicated: connected.
                   Incoming call: no sound (caller's voice) from car speaker.
                   Out going call: no ring sound through speaker.
                  At random shows calling but can not hangup & no ring sound.
    Car: Infiniti G 37    2009.

    I uploaded ios 8.0.2 on my iPhone 6 128 GB today 9-29-14 due to problems with Bluetooth talking to my ReSound Linx hearing aids to hopefully fix the problem. It sounds like the Bluetooth looses connection to the hearing aids and turns them off for about 1 1/2 minutes, then they come back on and I can hear again. I understand there are problems with Bluetooth and cars using the phone. I believe this Bluetooth problem is causing my hearing aid problem as my hearing aids connect to the iPhone via Bluetooth and the ReSound Smart App. I tried the reset fix, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings as some have suggested but that did not resolve this issue either. I can't believe Apple is not talking about this ios 8.0.2 Bluetooth problem. This affects my everyday life in that I cannot hear when the Bluetooth drops.Try working with your hearing dropping every few minutes! If Apple wants in the Health field, I suggest they take their QA a little bit more serious than they are at present. Whomever was responsible for testing ios 8, 8.0.1 & 8.0.2 should be fired! This is causing more trouble than anyone can imagine. I understand the car - Bluetooth problem but think about the fact that if every time the Bluetooth drops, you can't hear.My job could be in jeopardy. I posted the problem to Apple Support and they will not even have the decency to respond with even a "we are sorry." How long do I have to go without being able to hear before Apple responds??????

  • Iphone car kit echo problem

    I have a Nokia CK-7W car kit installed in my car, has always worked seamlessly with a variety of cellphones ( nokia, sony etc ) - have just got the 8gb iphone in the UK and in the car it sounds great. However, whoever I'm calling complains of a bad echo on their end of the conversation. Turning the volume down in car helps subdue this but doesn't solve it....
    Any ideas appreciated !

    I think you could be on the right track Daan.
    The problems I experienced with the CK-7W and Nokia 6300 (see earlier post above) seem to have been resolved with a Nokia software update for the 6300 (v 5.5), I read somewhere that the Nokia software update fixed a problem with the 6300 handset microphone staying active when connected to the CK-7W. All the echo problems seem to have stopped and callers agree the call quality is now improved.
    I vaguely remember reading on these forums of someone reporting that adjusting the volume on the iPhone itself helped with echo problems.
    Alternatively, have you tried turning down the speaker volume with the CK-7W control button when a call is active, this also may help.
    I hope this is sorted for you soon, I know how frustrating these issues can be!!!

  • IMovie "green screen" feature has serious problems.

    I precisely followed the iMovie "help" instructions to make a green screen effect for what should have been a simple iMovie project... a 10-second video tagline for closing titles on a much more extensive project.
    According to iMovie help, it should have been easy (and maybe even fun). It wasn't. Five hours of my life melted away forever. The iMovie "green screen" feature has serious problems. Remember that old Mac advertising campaign that said "It just works"? Well, it doesn't. Shame on Apple and the iMovie development team.
    See low-resolution QuickTime movies and more details here:
    http://www.art101.com/101temp/imovie_madness

    Folks,
    I ran into the same issue (I named it "transparent green screen", I hadn't a better name).
    I spent about a week to solve this problem, since I needed it to build a marriage slideshow.
    The tools & Config:
    iMovie 09, iPhoto 09, Adobe After Effects CS4
    Mac OS X 10.6.2, MacBook Pro 13" 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM
    The Solution for the "transparent green screen":
    I created a movie in AE, and put a green background into it. It was the pure green color.
    When I imported the movie into iMovie I just got the "transparent green screen", not the real effect.
    I some cases, by changing the background images, I could get the green screen to work, but it was kind of random. Which made it harder to solve it.
    I thought it could be because of AE, some incompatibility. I went to Youtube and downloaded a green screen video (a woman dancing in a green background). I inserted the video into iMovie, and it worked just fine, all the way.
    Then I tried to match the green color I was creating digitally with the Youtube video's green color. It didn't work either. The "transparent" effect was there again.
    But when I looked at that Youtube video, I noticed that the green color was not pure. Because that green background was made in the real world, it was not pure, there were some shades of green.
    Well, I just replicated that into the digital world. Modified my video's digital green background. From pure green to a gradient green, but very subtle, almost imperceptible. Just to replicate the "imperfection from the real world".
    That was it. Solved. Maybe iMovie 09 needs that imperfection to work well. Using "pure greens" might confuses it.
    Please do your tests. And let me know your results.
    Regards and greetings from Brazil.

  • My iphone4s has echo at the other end, not using headset, updated 5.0.1, anyone has the same problem?

    My iphone4s has echo at the other end, not using headset, updated 5.0.1, anyone has the same problem?
    Do I need to bring it back to the apple store?

    In terms of the battery, if you are not already doing so you should go through at least one charge cycle per month i.e. charging to 100%, running it down so that powers off, and then charging back up to 100%, which should help keep the battery indicator accurate - it's recommended towards the bottom of this page http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    I hadn't noticed any problems with the battery on my first gen iPad, but I've updated anyway.

  • Since updating to iOS 5, my bluetooth and signal have been destroyed. Before the update, the phone worked perfectly, connecting to my bluetooth in car for both calls and music. Reception was also perfect. Now, my bluetooth doesnt work, and I cant be heard

    Since I updated my iphone 4 software from 4.3.3/4.3.5 - bought brand new only 2 weeks before the update came out - to iOS 5, my bluetooth no longer works in me ford fiesta and when I ring people, they literally can not hear a word I say. It has nothing to do with poor signal areas as they are the same areas I was in with the same phone before the software update! i have even sent for a replacement phone and received a reconditioned phone (after paying excess charge - JOKE!) and the same problem occured when I updated again. I cannot believe there is no downgrade as this iOS 5 is a shambles and to be honest, I see very little difference in terms of apps and photos so i have no idea why apple are recommending this upgrade!
    Is there anything I can do to improve the fact that nobody can hear me on the phone when I speak?!! Or are apple going to insist I keep a phone that is of no use to me if I can't actually use it as a PHONE!
    Please please help!

    Hi,
    Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??

  • E50 Echo Problem & No Help From Nokia Turkey

    Hi,
    I'm using Nokia E50 for two months. Whenever I have a call (in or out) am receiving the same complaint from the other side of the line : The guy who is talking with me always hearing his/her own voice during the call. Echo issue.
    I've called the Nokia Turkey Call Center they told me that they've never been advised a case for the ECHO problem !!! Apparently they don't even hear the Google since there is hundreds of similar case !!!
    I took the phone to the official Nokia Repair Shop they've just checked the software and the patches and all of them were fully updated. Unfortunately they don' have any idea what's going on.
    Appreciate if anyone help me out about the issue, otherwise I'm going to give back to phone since it's still within legal warranty period.
    Regards

    We have seen the same problem with 2 E50s my company has just bought. I thought it was the new BT car kit that people were complaining about until I called my colleague with the new phone for the first time and we got DOUBLE ECHO!!!
    The latest firmware does not seem to fix this problem as of Jan 07. Have tried adjusting the volume down to no avail, so no other suggestions, but rest assured you are not alone.

  • Nokia Asha 200 echo problem

    Hi!
    I bought the brand new Asha 200 Nokia (Graphite) and so far im happy with the phone. Nontheless, during calls there is a really anoying echo. I have gone back to the store and replaced the first phone only to find that the problem remains the same.
    Whats is the position of Nokia about this? I would like to keep the phone but this echo during calls is unacceptable. 
    Should request my cash back or should I go to a Nokia Care point?
    Cheers

    Hello....
    I have also recently bought "nokia asha 200" but from the very first day of my use, I am also experiencing the same echo problem. All those echoing sounds is irritating me so much...
    You can't even use your cell phone for the basic purpose of making call.
    Almost all asha handset has this problem,, they are not going to cash back your money,, just be careful the next time you are going to buy nokia products.
     I don't think Nokia has any words to say for such defective products and the malfunction of its newly launched asha handset  which clearly indicates its manufacturing standards and thereby cheating consumers . I have never expected such a fraud from such a branded company.
    I am sure, from now onwards, nokia will loose its middle age segment profit for making such frauds/defective model.
