Bluetooth not working with Motorola HF850 in my car

I have a Motorola HF850 Bluetooth kit in my car. I've had it for years and it worked absolutely fine with the phone I had ever before I got an iPhone. I had an iPhone 3G for the past 3 years or so and this kit has worked reasonably well with it as well. The only caveat with the iPhone 3G is that it would take two attempts to answer an incoming call, but I could deal with that.
I just bought an iPhone 4 yesterday and I've had absolutely no luck getting it to work properly with this Bluetooth kit. I was able to successfully pair it with the new iPhone and it sometimes seems to connect, but the connection never lasts more than a few seconds. The Bluetooth kit has a blue light on it that flashes as it's searching for a phone, and it turns solid blue when it's connected to the phone. With the iPhone 3G it would flash for about 5 seconds then turn solid blue as long as the car was on.
With the iPhone 4 I've seen it flash for about 5 seconds when I first turn the car on and then go solid as if it connects, but within another 10-15 seconds it goes back to flashing and I'm completely unable to answer/place hands free calls with it. I've tried deleting the Motorola device from the iPhone's Bluetooth settings and then pairing it with the phone again. I've tried power-cycling the iPhone. I've tried forcing the HF850 to re-connect with the iPhone, etc. but so far nothing has worked. Bluetooth in the new iPhone is effectively worthless as far as I'm concerned...
Any suggestions? Is there anything at all I can do to try to get this working?

Hello everyone, I'm really ****** ... just bought iPhone4 OS
4.1.
Before I had 2G, and 3G, then 3G. I state that is not my
particular interest to share files via bluetooth or another, but the only
essential thing that made the previous iPhone was connected
perfectly to any accessory. NOW NO MORE '!
I installed a car kit Parrot CK3100. He always
worked perfectly before, even with the latest update
of 3GS os 4,0,1, was even ringing the alarm set
iPhone, you can always read the phonebook, call list etc..
Now, I try to connect the iPhone to the device 4, but sees no
can in no way to connect, returning the message
"Match failed." I tried in every way, even trying
from the unit but nothing to match it.
Can anyone tell me why these things happen and if there is a way to
solve? Thanks.

In ios7 Bluetooth not working with my ipod touch 5G

In ios 7 upgrade bluetooth not working properly... It's always searching ... not detecting even ipad with ios7 (bluetooth on).
I was expected 7.0.3. but no use...

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.
- Reset the BT device
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Bluetooth not working with visual voicemail in 2.0

I have a bluetooth car speaker linked to my Iphone 2G. Ever since I switched to 2.0 visual voicemail only gives me the options of internal and external speaker with the "speaker" bubble in the upper right corner. When I had old software installed the "speaker" button would display "audio" giving me the option of the motorola 505 or any headset when it was synced. I can still receive and make calls using the bluetooth, but when I go to listen to voice mail it comes out of the internal speaker (or external). What happened?? How to I get my motorola speaker back, as mentioned it still works with the other phone functions, just not voicemail. Thanks
BTW, why doesn't it have stereo bluetooth, after all it is an IPOD!!

Imac bluetooth not working with apple keyboard or magic mouse

Brand new imac won't connect to the bluetooth apple keyboard or magic mouse. I bought a usb keyboard and mouse to finish setup, but still cannot get them to connect. I tried going to system preferences, bluetooth, and trying to connect that way. I got halfway through the bluetooth keyboard setup until the connection failed. In the bluetooth setup assistant it cannot find any devices, despite them being in "discovery mode."
I tried connecting the mouse to my macbook pro and it worked fine, so I feel it is something wrong the the Imac's bluetooth.
Any guesses what might be going wrong here?

This fits with the observable results, however it does seem a little odd. The apple engineers coud have at least written the software to say something like, " I see an Iphone, but I can't do anything with it." Currently, it seem to behave like there is a problem with bluetooth connectivity. Not that the bluetooth is working fine, it just has nothing it can do with the two devices.
What you are trying to say has no sens. Check Apple TV manual and informations what bluetooth on this device is for and what options is giving to you before blaiming engineers for not making something straight.
Apple Tv 3rd (and 2nd) generation doesn't have a built-in storage and is more as a streaming device not syncing device. I suggest you read about Apple TV 3rd gen features and functionalyty and also about home sharing, airplay and airplay mirroring, apple remote app.

Bluetooth not working with Streaming websites

My jawbone bluetooth headset works fine with every application including Safari with the exception of websites that stream video such as YouTube. Not only is there no sound, but the video seems to freeze until I switch the audio source back to my speakers.
This solution http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6384201 seems to identify the problem as being with the Midi Audio seeings. The poster suggests changing the format of the audio from 8000 hz to 44100 hz, which solved his audio issues. The output options for my headset, however, do not have any options other than 8000 hz
Any suggestions on how to get the lower format hz running for my headset? Or any solution at all to allow streaming and flash video sound to function properly through my headset? Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth not working with IOS 7 and apple tv Ver3

I have a ver 3 Apple TV MD199X/A and an Iphone running IOS7. I saw recently that there is an option with IOS 7 to bluetooth sync with Apple TV. Neither my Iphone 4S or Apple TV is recognisiing each other in bluetooth mode. My iphone bluetooth is working fine with my car and is always on.

Bluetooth not working with my car after 2.02 upgrade

3G iPhone was working well with the bluetooth in my car (and my wife's car) for past month but I recently returned the phone for a replacement which I upgraded to 2.02 and now it won't work without a manual set-up each time. Called Apple and they said it's a known problem but didn't know of a workaround. Thought others might like to know this before spending the hour I did today trying to fix.

There are a couple of workarounds out there you could give a try. For some phones / users it seems to work, for others like me none solved the problem.
1. Do a backup
2. unpair all your BT connections from the phone and in the car. (You've done that already, right?)
3. Reset your network settings (you'll loose your saved wifi networks and the keys and have to connect them from scratch afterwards) (Test it again, if not ...)
4. Disconnect from iCloud and delete data from iPhone (test if it works now, you can connect to iCloud afterwards again and sync your data and settings)(don't know if you possibly loose data, cause i don't store important stuff on iCloud)
These are just a couple of workarounds that are suggested in various forums / newspapers. But none of them helped me to solve the problem permanently.

Bluetooth not working with Windows 7

I have a Lenovo t61 that I installed Windows 7 on. The bluetooth looks like it's all loaded, updated and operating normally. However it never shows any bluetooth device after searching. This includes several cell phones, mouse and key boards. My other T40 with XP sees all these devices and connects with no problem. This has an internal Broadcom BCm2045B. I have been researching and tried every driver I could find. The Broadcom update program (SetupBtwDownloadSE) stops and says it can update the hardware. I have the Windows Mobile loaded to take care of the 'other bluetooth devices'.
I spent a couple of hours with the MS tech and he found no fix saying it's a Lenovo driver problem. I am out of warranty so Lenovo won't talk to me. After 2 weeks I have tried all the easy stuff... the bluetooth is on. It is set to allow bluetooth devices. Lenovo and MS say there are no updates to be had. The BIOS is up to date. I tried at least 40 different drivers.
I am going to get an external dongle but I hate to think this beat me - us.
If anybody has anything that is not a standard press fn5 to turn on the radio please let me know.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
Have you tried using the Fn+F5 key combination to toggle the Bluetooth hardware off and then on again via the Wireless Radio screen? I have found sometimes that doing so sometimes fixes problems with the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules not recognizing other devices/networks.

4.2 update but phone still not does not work with Motorola T505

I use an iPhone 3G and on 3.1 it could rebroadcast iTunes signals by FM to my car stereo. 4.1 lost this capacity. I was hoping to get it back with 4.2 but so far no success, even re-pairing the 505. (Otherwise the upgrade much improved the responsiveness of the phone.) There is no firmware upgrade for the T505. Is there another device which would work for me?

I too have Quicken & can't as yet upgrade to Lion - Have a iPhone 4S on order but will need to cancel if MobileMe sync is not fully functional of contacts & calendars. Any more news on this?

Bluetooth not working with my Sony car stereo

Now that I have upgraded from my Iphone 4 to the Iphone 5. My Sony DX300BTX Bluetooth car stereo will not connect. I had a oppiontment this last Friday with the apple store. They were able to connect with there Blue tooth keyboard. The tech said he could not find any problems with the phone hardware and would not replace it. The tech sudjusted that I restore the phone as a new phone. I did this. Then attempted to connect with my car stereo. The car stereo connected to the Iphone 5 but the Iphone 5 would not connect to the car stereo. Btw the Iphone 5 has the latest 6.01 o.s And so dose my Iphone 4. Today I took it out to my car to see if it would still connect with the car stereo now that it has the latast 6.01 o.s. Connected and played Itunes and Pandora perfectly.
So it appears that the Iphone 5 bluetooth chip is the problem. It's not a software issue and it's not a issue with my sony stereo because the car stereo connected. But the Iphone 5 would not. My question is how do I get Apple to fix there faulty bluetooth chip. I just bought this car stereo last year. It was suppose to have the best bluetooth connectivity. And it did with my Iphone 4. I know if Steve Jobs was still with us this Iphone 5 would have not been released until these kind of bugs were fixed. And just for the record my sony laptop can see the Iphone 5 to but the Iphone 5 can not see the sony. Dose Apple make a car stereo that connect to there Iphone 5

Airport Express not working with Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC

My 2012 Airport Express was working fine with my Motorola Surfboard Sb6141 and TWC until about a week ago when the signal started dropping constantly. I hard wired the modem to my computer and everything worked fine. I took the Airport Express to the Genius Bar and it is working fine. I have followed the instructions posted throughout this board to reset the AE to factory settings, then turn everything off for 1/2 hour, turn on just the modem, the the AE 15 minutes later and the computer 15 minutes after that, but to no avail. When I try to set up the AE using Airport Utility, it allows me to assign a name and password, but then the light goes to solid amber and I get "An unexpected error occurred. Try again." Any ideas?

I'm still struggling trying to get the SB6141 to stay connected with my Airport Extreme but it drops altogether every day or 2 but if you're looking for an alternative, I've heard the Netgear CMD31T works well with the airport.

Help!! How can I get my timemachine to work with motorola router

I just had comcast installed in home. Apple router is not working with motorola sb510u

You may need to reset your broadband modem to convince it to connect to a "new" device. Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments. If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes. Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one. In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router. If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.
