Bluetooth no longer works since I got a 3G iPhone?

Hello -
I just upgraded iPhones - my old iPhone's Bluetooth worked fine with 1) hands-free set up in my car (which shows my address book on car's GPS Screen); and 2) Plantronics headset.
Now (since buying the new phone) NEITHER Bluetooth device works. That is, my iPhone does not connect. With Car, after trying for a few minutes the iPhone generates a message 'cannot connect to Tooki'. With Headset, it merely stalls showing 'Searching...' with that rotating circular symbol next to it. Right now, for ex., it has been 'Searching' for over 10 minutes.
Has anyone else seen/experienced this? iTunes says my phone is up to date (2.1)
Thank you

I cannot address the car issue, however I have a Plantronics bluetooth headset, and have used it with my old 2G phone and now my new 3G. Before you turn bluetooth on for the phone, but the headset in the discovery mode. Hold the button down until it starts flashing red and blue. Then turn the bluetooth on for the phone. Once that happens, the phone should "discover" the device. It should then prompt you for the passcode for the Plantronices, which is 0000. Once that happens, the devices should pair. Turn the headset off, then turn the bluetooth off on the phone. Turn the phone's bluetooth back on, it should report paired to the Plantronics. Then turn the headset on and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.

  • My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
    Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often.

  • Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi

    Bluetooth seems like working since last week and at the same time I can't manage the Wi-Fi. I have already restored.

    This entire thing is a hair over four months old, I don't think it should be acting up this much. Plus, this problem happens only once out of every 40 or 50 times I start this thing up. It's very infrequent, but it's there, and it just bothers me, I guess.
    That said, I would try reinstalling, but I wouldn't be able to tell if it'd worked unless the problem never cropped up again in a long, long time. Sadly I also don't have access to my OSX discs at the moment (I'm out of the country).

    Is it possible to recover my data from iCloud backup without working wifi? I have as many other upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 with the result that the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth no longer works. However, i can connect to iTunes via cable but there is wrong version of backup.

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • IOS7 Bluetooth No Longer Works in 2013 Nissan Altima

    I am experiencing issues with my 2013 Nissan Altima 3.5SL and the IOS 7upgrade on my iphone5. I am no longer able to properly sync my phone to the bluetooth in the car.  The music doesn't always play with bluetooth connection, voice recognition hardly works to make calls and the feature to read incoming new text messages via car bluetooth no longer works AT ALL!  All of these features worked fine with the previous IOS6 version.
    I have tried several ways to try to fix this, complete reboot of iphone, delete and re connect the iphone from bluetooth (forget this device); also the 'show notifications' tab under the bluetooth options on the phone is turned on.  Nothing has helped.
    This is extremely disappointing and would like to use these features of my car again. Has anyone else experienced these issues and/or found a fix?
    Apple, please FIX and provide us with an update!

  • Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls after recent update

    When I updated my Bluetooth to iOS 6, the Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls. I press button to answer call, it makes a small cracking noise, and then sends the call to my phone. I can use the Bluetooth for outgoing calls and it works just fine. I was hoping when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 that the problem would be fixed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth but that has not helped either. I am frustrated. I have a LG HBM-905 Bluetooth that I loved prior to this problem.

    Magically started working today after I synced.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • HT201365 The keyboard on my phone no long works since ios7 update, I switched phone off to reset why

    Keyboard on my phone no longer works since ios7 update. Advice please

    Can you be more specific? Not in any application? Like writing an email, entering an address into Safari, sending a text message ...
    If you touch a certain spot in those apps, the keyboard should slide up from the bottom.
    If still not, what about restarting the phone? Does that help?

  • Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes

    Syncing with iPad mini does no longer work since latest update of iTunes and iPad mini

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy
