Bluetooth issue again

i noticed the since the updates i just did, or something i just did broke my bluetooth mouse, i have to connect manually now again. which is fine, i just have to open a terminal once i login and connect the mouse
but i checked my config, and nothings changed there, am i the only one having this problem???

  • 8.2 iPhone 6 + bluetooth issue

    Up until 8.2, my bluetooth connectivity with my VW Passat was just fine.  I could stream music, make calls using the steering wheel controls, etc.  When a call came in, music would cut out, caller id would show on the phone and I could answer the call using the steering wheel controls.
    This worked for my iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6+ up until this latest iOS update (8.2)
    Now, when a call comes in, my car will ring, the phone stays with a black screen.  After 2 rings, my iPhone 6+ begins to ring and the caller id shows.   If I was using the music app, the music will cut out when the phone rings (as it should), but as soon as the phone is answered, the music begins playing again over the call.
    I can no longer make a call using the steering wheel controls.  After saying 'call' then the name, the car disconnects the phone.  Again, this has never happened with any of the iterations of iOS with iPhones and this car up until 8.2
    I can, however, make calls using the iPhone 6+ and Siri, using the car speaker and mic.
    I've noticed other glitches in iOS 8 (all versions) but this bluetooth issue is most annoying and dangerous.  It has now removed Hands Free from my car and forced me to use the handset if calls are made or come in.
    Has anyone else seen similar issues on 8.2?  I've cleared the Bluetooth settings and restarted the phone many times and I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

    Yes, I have exactly the same problem with all our VW & Volvo at work. iOS 8.1 iphone 6 & 6+ Bluetooth 4.0
    now, we have bought some other smart phone with latest 4G+ technology : no more problems good connectivity
    we used old iphone 4 with iOS 5.1.1: the Bluetooth connectivity was fine, but no 4G+!!

  • Bluetooth issue, dose not appear Mackbook Pro mid 2010

    Hi,
    I have sucessfully download and upgrade my OS lion to mountain without any issue's and all APPs working proberly and functional. am littel worry and disapponted that am not able to use my magic mouse, after i invistigate well i found that my bloutooth options gone. its like i don't have bluethooth, it was working proberly without any issue just before i upgrade the OS.
    no option for blutooth and its showing Bluetooth device not found in system information!

    any advice?

    Your issue is that Bluetooth is not seeing your Magic Mouse correct? "disapponted that am not able to use my magic mouse"
    Restart the Mac. Go into BlueTooth options again and see if it appears to be working. Take batteries out of magic mouse, and toggle the on/off switch, see if the Bluetooth options work again.

  • MacBook Air 13" 2011 Bluetooth Issues

    I recently upgraded from a MacBook late 2007 to a MacBook Air 13" 2011. Both systems were running Lion GM, and I transferred all my data from the old machine to new using the Migration Assistant that started on first boot on the new machine.
    I'm having some weird issues with Bluetooth. I have a Magic Mouse, and when I open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, it shows a list of Devices and Types, but all the devices show the Hardware ID (MAC address) only, not the device name (even for others like Printers/Smartphones). If I add the mouse from here, it works fine, but in the Bluetooth menu under devices it shows the MAC address of the device only instead of Apple Wireless Mouse, and it does not give me any battery information, just an option to disconnect.
    The Bluetooth seems to have problems getting the names of any Bluetooth devices, and just shows everything by MAC address.
    If I open the Bluetooth preferences, and I choose the mouse and go to Update Services it then shows it as an Apple Wireless Mouse but I still can't get any battery info. Also, after the computer reboots or if I disconnect/reconnect the mouse it again shows using the Bluetooth MAC address only. The Update Name option seems to have no effect.
    Also, before doing the Update Services thing the computer doesn't even seem to know what type of device it is.

    Wow, same problem - brand new, 2011 13" MacBook Air and also used migration assistant.
    Here's what I see:
    (1) Bluetooth Preferences - check box on (and I'm able to uncheck it), Discoverable box is dimmed and not checkable.
    (2) Discoverable box can be "auto-checked" if bluetooth sharing is turned on, but the Discoverable checkbox still remains dimmed.
    (3) All Bluetooth paired items (when I can get them to be paired) show up as hex addresses only - no names.
    Called and talked with Apple Support - they suggested this:
    (1) reset PRAM and SMC - did that, no change
    (2) Then they suggested to create a new user and see if the bluetooth issues follow to the new user - they did.
    (3) So based on that, they suggested to boot (command-r) and re-install using the Recovery Option - I have not done that yet and I'm hesitant to do this because I believe that this will not fix the problem.
    Some things I did that they did not suggest:
    (1) Ran Repair Disk Permissions - no change.
    (2) moved /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist to something else and then restarted "blued" - no change.
    For #2 - you'll need to do it this way - if you think this will make a difference:
    sudo mv -f /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist /var/root/Library/Preferences/blued_bak.plist
    sudo killall blued
    this will create a new blued.plist file - do this to see that:
    sudo ls -l /var/root/Library/Preferences
    You should see your old backed up copy and the newly created one.

  • IPhone 4:  Bluetooth Issues - Hands Free Phone in vehicle

    All,
    This is my first Apple post.  I usually go out and Google and find/figure things out on my own, but I am stumped!
    I recently upgraded my wife to an iPhone 4 16gb Black from an iPhone 3GS 8gb.  With the 3GS, we were able to pair the phone with our 2011 Toyota Highlander with bluetooth capability, giving me nearly 9 month pregnant wife the ability to stream audio to her stereo, but more importantly she was able to make/receive calls in her car using the hands free.
    We were able to go through the setup like we did with the 3GS to pair it.  It pairs up just fine.  However, the only thing that works is the audio streaming.  She cannot access the phone for calling/receiving calls with the vehicle.  When a call comes in, I remember the 3GS having a bluetooth headset option that showed up, but as long as the bluetooth was on in the car, the stereo would automatically pick up the call and she could talk to the car and hear the call through the speakers.
    I have read that the iPhone 4 had bluetooth issues with older IOS versions, but she is on 4.3.3 currently.  Again, audio streaming her music works, just not the phone.  What gives?

    Hey Shane!
    You could always try going to Toyota and see if there is a firmware upgrade available for your car.  Even though your car is new, there are always firmware releases available.
    New Phones don't always work with older firmwares in new Car Stereos.  With Technology changing everyday you want to make sure your always update on all devices involded.

  • IOS 8 Bluetooth issue Plantronics PLT_M20 headset

    I Installed IOS 8 on my 4S IPhone. I noticed that I could not pick up a call nor could I end it using the connect button on the device. I am still able to touch longer to get Siri..  I know this is an IOS 8 Issue. i did forget the device and re-paired it but still  Unable to pick up/hang up calls.

    Have to ask the obvious first. Did you try deleting the pairing from the iPhone and pair the devices again? It has been a fairly common iOS upgrade issue that you need to delete and then pair your Bluetooth devices again AFTER upgrading.

  • Keynote remote will not pair with ipad after update to 10.7.2-bluetooth issue or remote app issue?

    Noticed keynote remote will not pair after updating.  Bluetooth light flashes a couple of times then goes off.  I'm wondering if it's a bluetooth issue or a keynote remote app issue.
    Any suggestions or remedies?
    thanks

    Then again, it may not.
    I've tried all the things recommended in the Apple KB article, and it doesn't work.  Mulderscully is right, in the recent iOS 5 upgrade, Bluetooth is not turned on (at least, its symbol is not visible) from within Keynote even if you turned it on in the Settings menu.  Posts in another thread recommended using another app to establish a Bluetooth connection between the iPad and iPod (I used Touch Rummy), then switching back to Keynote and Keynote Remote.  This does work for me, but it is an awkward workaround.  Shouldn't 'It just work'?

  • Droid 3 Bluetooth Issues

    I am on my second Droid 3, and both displayed the same Bluetooth Issues:
    When attached to the cars bluetooth system (2010 Audi A6), all of a sudden, Bluetooth drops.  The call is still active, and the bluetooth indicator on the keypad is still lit.  In order to get the phone to reconnect to the car, I have to power it off and then on.
    About one out of every 5 calls with Plantronics Voyager Pro headset, the volume will be very low, both inbound and outbound.  I noticed when that happens, sound is also coming out of the Droid 3 speaker and the Headset at the same time and it seems as if both microphones are working (People can hear me better if I speak into the phone - while my headset is active!).
    Sometimes disconnecting bluetooth and reconnecting it (via the dial keypad) cures the issue, other times I have to POPO (power off, power on) the phone.
    To make sure it was not my car or my headset, I reactivated my old phone, HTC Touch Pro 2 and never had an issue in 3 days of solid use.
    I need bluetooth to work reliably.  I called Verizon Tech Support and beyond swapping out the phone, not much help.
    I double checked all of my settings in my car and in the Droid 3's BT menu, all to no avail.
    Does anyone have any recommendations? I thought I was leaving reliability issues behind when I got a Droid (instead of windows in HTC Touch Pro 2)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello again. Haven't had time to follow up at the Verizon store yet.  When I was there one of the techs had just purchased a Droid 3 for herself.  We all watched while she opened the box and fired it up, etc.  Straight out of the box it exhibited the same issue.  She and I went over it for a while and exchanged emails & cell numbers.  She was obviously concerned and promised to follow up and let me know.  She follows these forums as well.
    A couple of observations..  If the screen is locked with bluetooth on and an incoming call comes in the headset will work fine.  Only when trying to make an outgoing call with the screen locked /off by pressing the headset button for voice commands does the mic fail to activate.  Seems like the handset allows the headset to "wake up" the phone, but something fails to complete in the process.
    While at the store we tried the headset on one of the floor demo phones and it worked!  But apparently that phone had an older  version of the software. BTW, my "system version" is 5.5.959.XT862.  Im guessing if the older software didn't have this bug a fix should be relatively easy in a future software update.  PROVIDING they get the message.  I'm kinda new to this and I'm having a hard time posting up on the other forums.
    In the meantime the short-term fix is to remember to hit the unlock button on the top of the phone before you hit the call button on your headset.  Only one more button push, but quite a hassle if the phone is buried somewhere in your purse or pocket.  Which sort of defeats the purpose of using the headset while driving to place calls.
    It would be interesting to hear if others out there can duplicate this issue..

  • IOS 4.3 still did not fix the bluetooth issue

    I am still unable to pair up my bluetooth stereo headphones with my iPhone 4. I originally had it paired up back when my iPhone 4 was running 4.0, but ever since iOS 4.2.1, I've been unable to pair up anything with my bluetooth. Does the Apple Corporation even look at these posts? Anybody else having bluetooth issues?

    Actually, I would be very surprised to find out that Apple does not read these forums. A smart company would monitor discussion about their products, especially on a sight they sponsor, to gain insight on how to improve their product and or customer service. However, you should always file your complaint through the proper channels. I have had a few minor glitches between my iPhone 4 and my Jawbone Icon but things seem significantly better...so far. It just angers me that Apple has not admitted to any kind of bluetooth connectivity problem. This experience has completely tainted any kind of positive experiences from my iPhone 3G. I'm very likely to try a Droid or Blackberry when I upgrade again.

  • Bluetooth issues when using smartwatch on the z1s

    I'm having some Bluetooth issues when using my smartwatch. I usually use my z1s with my car radio via Bluetooth to listen to music and for making calls. Now that I got a sony smartwatch I always got problems with the calls. It looks like that the Bluetooth turns off during the call when I'm using the smartwatch. I already tried by deleting and pairing again the z1s, but nothing works. Not sure if maybe the z1s does not support the smartwatch and the care radio Bluetooth connection at the same time. However it works fine when playing music! The problem is just with the calls. This never happens before I got the smartwatch.

    I have the Tmobile Z1s and a SW2 and have the same issues with multiple devices:
    1) Bose Soundlink Mini
    2) Sony MBR-100
    3) My car's bluetooth
    4) Ford Sync
    5) Sony SBH20
    6) Motorola S305
    If the phone connects to the A2DB device, it will typically play fine for several minutes. Then, audio will drop out. If I do nothing, after several minutes my watch will vibrate to show it has disconnected. Sometimes audio then comes back, and sometimes it doesn't.
    Sometimes my phone will not connect to my car. Then, if I can get it to connect, it will only allow for phone audio, not media audio. 
    This issue has been on (2) Z1s's with the SW2. The first I returned due to touch screen issues, which the second one also has. All of the devices above worked perfectly fine with my Xperia Z, Galaxy S2, HTC One, etc. The Xperia Z and the SW2 never had any problems.
    Honestly, this phone has been incredibly frustrating. If the upcoming updates for either the SW2 or Z1S don't fix this issue, I'm going to return it and get something else.

  • Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1

    I am facing the Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1 iphone.In ios 7.0 it works fine without any problem.I am using the EA framework for reading/writing the data in my application.Still I have not got any correct solution for this scenario. I am having a doubt that this issue is happening as because of EA framework which I am using it or do i need to change any settings.Could someone tell me the solution for this problem?

    1.I am using an external Bluetooth kit by which I will send the command through my iphone application.I will communicate with the external Kit through a command that writes and reads the data using External Accessory framework.In lower version except IOS 7.1 i was able to communicate properly without any issues.In EA framework implementing a delegate method I could able to write/read a data.
    2) Right now I am facing an issue only in ios 7.1 where I was not able to read any data from the external Bluetooth Kit.I have researched regarding this issue in all the sites I got to know some information that because of EA framework issue in ios 7.1 where I am able to communicate.But still I have a confusion that its happening because of EA framework or any other ios issues.

  • I need help with BlackBerry 8820's bluetooth issue

    Hi!
    Please accept my appology of my poor English.
    My 8820 has a bluetooth issue with Bluedio E9+ headset. It must be note that the headset works well with another phone (not BlackBerry). My BlackBerry can't actively connects to bluetooth headset by the method 'Menu' key > 'Connect' option, but still able to receives connection request from the headset and pairs with the headset when i choose Yes. At this point I can use bluetooth function for data transfering, Voice Dialing and music playback (i.e. mp3 files). But each time I try a mp4 file with default video player in Media folder, its audio will never work with the bluetooth function, and the phone's speakers is automatically enabled. I try the menu when the video was playing, but there are only Activate Handset and Active Speakerphone options. Then I was converted the file with BlackBerry Video Converter Pro; I remove and reinsert the battery; I wipe the phone and install new ROM,... But none of them work.
    Please help!

  • Satellite U500 - Bluetooth issues BT Monitor vs. Bt Stack

    Hello everyone,
    My wife's machine is a Satellite U500-10L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with Vista pre-installed, later with W7Pro 32-bit.)
    Now, I've always had various issues with Bluetooth on this machine, and it's the only machine I've ever had Bluetooth issues with, mostly having to do with internet connectivity via mobile phones.
    Most usually, I connect to the internet using Sony Ericsson PC Suite and a Bluetooth-controlled Sony Ericsson mobile phone (currently and Elm, and occasionally a Hazel or a C702.) This setup has always worked flawlessly on every other machine I've used, such as my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710b given to me by my previous employer for a couple of years, and even my untrustworthy old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased), and my mother's ancient Macbook. With those machines, I've never had any trouble connecting to any of the phones or to the internet, with no drops, connection issues or any other issues.
    Not so with this U500. I'm writing this while connected through PC Suite, with Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable, and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works flawlessly for days on end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. Generally, though, I get a connection more often than not, but the issue is annoying nevertheless.
    Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT Stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack control panel and managed to dial the connection, so far so good. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it's actually connected, and so does the BT Stack control panel and the Windows 7 connectivity monitor in the system tray, but there's no actual access to the internet (I only get the little yellow triangle with the +no internet access+ message, but the phone is dialed in.)
    So, I tried reinstalling PC Suite (with BT Stack present), and things got even worse: now the BT connection itself between PC Suite and the phone is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it just works well enough to actually get a connection (albeit an unreliable one.)
    So now I've uninstalled the BT Stack, reinstalled BT Monitor and went back to using PC Suite for dialing, and the same issues I mentioned earlier still persist.
    Now, my two questions are these: a. why didn't I get any internet access with BT Stack, even though the phone was actually dialed in to the connection? and b. assuming the internet access issue is resolved, would I possibly get a more reliable connection (i.e. one that doesn't suddenly decide to drop every so often) with BT Stack instead of the PC Suite/BT Monitor setup?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just an update: I've found that as long as there is a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, there would be no issues. The Bluetooth connectivity issue only starts to appear whenever there's something - anything - in the way between the two.
    Let me clarify. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with the U500 right in front of me, while the mobile phone is hanging from a nail in the wall above me and to the left. Now that there's a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, I have no issues at all.
    Now, let's say I take the U500 off the desk, put in on my lap, and turn my back to the phone. In this case, my head and torso would be in the way of a direct line of sight between the two, and the stability of the connection begins to deteriorate, and it becomes very unreliable - sometimes even dropping the Bluetooth connection altogether (Sony Ericsson PC Suites goes all gray on me!)
    Here's another example: there's a printer sitting on the desk right to my left. Now, if I stack up a bunch of magazines on top of the printer, high enough to be within the line of sight, I will start having issues!
    So, I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and has nothing to do with the internet connection or firewall. It's clearly a hardware quality issue.
    By contrast, I never experienced any such issue with my B300, the HP Compaq 6710b I had earlier, or even with my now-deceased ThinkPad T42. Hell, I might as well have gone into a different room entirely and still maintained a Bluetooth connection with those three machines! With the Toshiba, though, as soon as I carry the thing out the door - which is about four feet from the phone - the connection is gone!

  • Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

    My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
    It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
    I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
    All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
    1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
    My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
    I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
    I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
    I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
    Suggestions? Advice?
    I appreciate any help!
    Thank you,

    P.S.
    An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
    When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
    Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
    When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
    Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
    So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
    Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
    I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
    This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
    This question was solved.

    Thank You Pepe999,
    This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
    Worked like a charm...Thank you!
    Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.

  • IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

    Ok here is my findings:
    Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
    Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
    I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
    I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
    Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
    I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

    I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
    Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
    1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
    2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
    3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
    (note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
    It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
    You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well.  Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
    Good luck.
