Bluetooth Phone Connectivity

I am getting a new cell phone and want to use bluetooth to sync with my Macbook Pro. Will all bluetooth phones sync? If not, is there a list of the ones that will? Thanks.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Apple has a list of supported devices here

But i know for a fact that the Motorola v557 (Cingular) has full bluetooth capabilities; Video, Mp3, Picture transfer and address book sync. I don't use iCal so I wouldn't know about that

IPhone 6 and Bluetooth phone connectivity issues with my vehicle: this is how I fixed it.

With so many threads on this topic, I wanted to detail the steps I took to fix my iPhone 6 Bluetooth issues regarding connectivity to my vehicle and handsfree calling. My phone was pairing with my vehicle without a problem and syncing my contacts and call history but when I attempted to make a call (from either the phone or the vehicle screen) the audio went out and I could not hear the call either through the vehicle speakers or on the phone. The call was going through but I was unable to see it on my vehicle screen and/or hear it either the phone or the vehicle screen.
Based on my research and what I have learned so far, the people having problems are those who restored their new iPhone 6 from an iCloud backup from a previous phone, rather than setting up their iPhone 6 as a new phone. I did an iCloud restore from my previous 5s running iOS 8.
First, I am a Verizon customer and I enabled Advanced Calling on my line. After I requested that this feature be added to my line, under “Cellular” settings on my iPhone, I enabled LTE voice & data.
Next steps:
1) Unpair/remove iPhone from the vehicle;
2) Forget/remove the vehicle from the phone Bluetooth settings;
3) Soft reset the iPhone;
4) Reset network settings on the iPhone; and
5) Pair the phone to the vehicle again and attempt to make a call.
If that does not work…
6) Perform a factory reset, erasing EVERYTHING from your phone and set it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from a backup.
Resetting the network settings seems to be working for some people. It did not work for me. I tried it a few times with no result. I did the dreaded factory reset, paired the phone with my vehicle and had all of my Bluetooth functionality back and was able to use the handsfree phone with zero issues.
I was on the phone yesterday multiple times with Apple, Toyota Entune, Verizon and my Toyota dealer. Verizon blamed Toyota Entune, Toyota Entune blamed Verizon and my Toyota dealer blamed Apple. Nobody had a clue how to fix this issue or what was causing it. I don’t know the exact reason why the previous iCloud backups are killing the Bluetooth connections, I just know what worked for me and I thought it was worth sharing.
Good luck.

The new 8.0.2 update DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AT ALL. After you power off and on with the phone, same issue as the 8.0, all 3 of my cars lost Bluetooth connection and shows no signal at all. Good job Apple, what a lousy update you guys did.

Is anyone having issues with bluetooth phone connectivity with iOS6 upgrade in a VW?

Any voice commands made through the car end up in "call history"

The problem is that you're using an uncertified lightning to 30-pin connector (the blue cable). If you purchase the 30-pin to lightning cable (either online, at an Apple store or an authorized dealer) it should work fine.
I have a 2011 Tuscon and tried the lightning to USB cable that came with the phone - no dice. Talked to my local Hyundai dealer and they don't have an eta on the Hyundai lightning cables (I'm sure it's in the works).

How to prioritise connection of CAR Bluetooth PHONE system/ device over SmartBand Talk SWR30

After pondering about this device for over a month I asked my wife to gift it me for Christmas. For 3 days I really liked it, but then a critical flaw became apparent Having not driven for a few days due to the holidays I set off in my car, only to realise that I was not receiving telephone calls, SMS and other notifications on my built-in car bluetooth system (Ford Sync by Sony/ Microsoft), only on the Smartband Talk. Doing some research it became clear that if my SWR30 was already connected with my Xperia (Z2) my Ford Sync could not connect! I realise the limitations of Bluetooth (i.e. you cannot have simultaneous connections using a same Bluetooth profile) and the workaround is to manually turn off the Phone Audio (handsfree) Bluetooth profile for SWR30 in the Z2. Remembering to turn off/ back on is proving to be irritating and too much effort. I thought I might be able to create an Event (macro) in Sony's Smart Connect app to do this automatically, but this cannot be done as the app is rather limiting! It is more important for my car system to work with my Z2 as I use it frequently and is altogether a safer and more legal way of answering calls etc. Has any one got ideas or suggestions? I really like this SmartBand (its far sleeker & lighter than true smartwatches) and I actually want the talk feature, but if I cannot resolve the car bluetooth problem (and this will probably affect all other Bluetooth car systems/ devices) easily and smoothly, regretfully, the SWR30 will be going back to the seller

As stated before, I really like the SmartBand Talk and was very disappointed to learn that it could not coexist with a car Bluetooth system! Having had a few days off between Christmas and New Year I was determined to resolve this "flaw" and am glad to report that I have and in a slick way! Prompted by "ensaro's" widget suggestion, unfortunately I did not want a toggle which had to be manually executed, it had to be automatic. So I thoroughly researched the Google Play Store, trying out many, and ended up with 2 apps which were real contenders: Trigger (by Egomotion) and Automagic (by Gridvision). Both apps basically allow you to create a trigger (eg Bluetooth Car Audio wants to connect to phone) followed by an action (eg switch off Bluetooth phone connection to SmartBand, followed by switch on connection to Bluetooth Car Audio). Trigger calls this automation task a Trigger, Automagic calls it a Flow.Trigger is fairly intuitive visually, but unfortunately support for this supposedly highly rated app seems no longer to exist! This became very frustrating for me as at times it would not run (however, it also allows a widget to be created to manually run the task manually)... therefore I dug in to the more heavyweight Automagic! Automagic uses a dynamic flowchart, where you add a trigger, an optional condition (true/ false) and finally action(s). The style reminded me of my programing days many years ago and the logical nature excited me. The possibilities are huge and may scare off some users looking for a quick result, but in fact it is really quite easy to use, especially once you undertstand some of the slightly "obscure" terminology used (after all this a German programer at work and some translation suggestions may be required). At the end of the day I created 2 flows, one to connect to the car system (via disconnection of SmartBand and then connection to my car) and one to reconnect to the SmartBand when not in car (the trigger being that the car Bluetooth is no longer connected/ disconnected). These flows are passive and apparently use very little battery power, executing when a trigger condition is matched and so far is working well. If anyone wants to see how my flows are constructed, I will be happy to email them. You open them up directly in Automagic (going to their site allows you to download a 9 day trial with up to 3 flows working)... my flows are embellished with extra actions, such as switching off WiFi and playing a sound when a connection has taken place... and most important of all there is a forum with lots of help and examples and I was really happy when the progaming author, Martin, actually replied to a query... Problem... sorted! Automagic is well worth £2.40 ...

You'd need to contact AT&T and see which bluetooth phones support bluetooth dial-up networking (DUN)

Wanting to connect to bluetooth phone for internt access

Can anyone please help me. I just purchased a Powerbook 17" G4 and I want to use it on my vacation. I want to find out, since none of the people at the phone services think it can be done, what phone and service I can use to connect my Mac to the internet using the cell phone. If anyone can provide me with this information I would be grateful I live in St. Louis, Missouri, if that matters.
Thank you for your time in reading this topic!

Did you resolve the question? I was so engrossed in how to get the Razr3 to work that it didn't occur that I could help. I have always had a great success with sony ericsson bluetooth phones and my laptop. Until now I have had service with AT&T. The tech at AT&T had me set my PB to dial 99**1#. I clicked on the settings for bluetooth and clicked connect and the icon showed data in motion and I was online. I haven't had the same experience with Motorola unfortunately.

I just got the iPhone 5s, I have had a 4 for the last few years, my husband uses a galaxy. I have never had issues with any of our phones connecting the the cars Bluetooth until this one sometimes it will connect and sometimes it won't. I drive a gm car

A friend of mine drives an Acura and said she is also having the same problem? I have to connect the phone every time I get in the car.

J2SE Bluetooth Programming-connecting PC to a Bluetooth Eanbled Phone

Hi
Iam trying to connect my PC (USB Bluetooth Dongle connected) to a Bluetooth Phone,
need to transfer some files using Bluetooth
There are Sufficeient information on J2ME Bluetooth Programming,
Does anybody know of a tutorial on J2SE bluetooth programming?
Kindly Reply,

There is no spec for Bluetooth in JSE. However, there are implementations of the JSR-82 spec (for JME) on the Standard platform. Off hand I can only recall BlueCove. Might be a good start.

The equipment:
Iphone 4S 16gb VZW with personal hotspot
Ipad 3 32gb wi-fi only
The issue:
I turn on the personal hotspot on the phone, connect to the ipad over wi-fi or bluetooth and surf the web flawlessly. I turn on the VPN on the ipad and cannot access my work network. I check the IP address of the phone prior to the connection of the VPN and it registers a VZW IP that the phone is supposed to broadcast. I turn the VPN in and the ipad reflects the VPN IP address that I'm trying to connect to back to the phone and THAT is what the phone tries to project. My RMS vendor and our network provider have both been identified as not being the culprit. I've spent about 8 hours on the phone with an IOS Senior Advisor and we are both perplexed by this. He has been gracious enough to maintain daily contact with me and he's forwarded it up to those higher than him.
This worked back in April of this year and quit working in May or June. That means it worked on IOS5 and quit working IOS 5.
Anyone else having these issues?

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Connecting to internet with PowerBook via bluetooth phone

I have bluetooth in my PowerBook and I want to be able to use a bluetooth phone to connect to the internet when I am away from home. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good bluetooth phone to use or any suggestions? I have Verizon as my service provider.

Hello
I haven't tried this, but found this on the net, which requires some additional scripts for the Mac for the Motorola Razr phone.

What is doesn't say is whether it works on Mac OS 10.2 or not.

IPhone 6+ bluetooth phone speaker not working in my cars

I have a iPhone 6+ with iOS 8.0.2 that I am having problems with both of my cars hands-free bluetooth telephone connections.
On both cars, the phone pairs just fine, and plays streaming audio fine, but when I make a phone call, the speaker in the car does not play the telephone call audio. The icon on the phone shows the the speaker connection as bluetooth, but no audio comes out through the cars speakers. The display on the car also will display "call failed" even though the phone is ringing.
I also have an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.0.2 and it DOES NOT have this problem.
The cars that I have tested this on are a 2014 Nissan LEAF, and a 2010 VW GTI. On enthusiast forums for both cars, there are reports of this happening to other iPhone 6 users as well.
Thoughts or solutions?

I just ran an experiment with my old iPhone 5, where I reset it to factory settings, and then tried to pair it with my VW, and I was successful in getting that to work.
Now the question is how can I completely flush the bluetooth cache in my iPhone6+ that I restored with the contents of my iPhone 5 WITHOUT having to start from a factory fresh copy of iOS 8.0.2 and manually repopulating the iPhone6+ with all of my apps, folders, and OS settings.
I have already tried under General>reset>reset all settings, and >reset network settings, and neither of those reset the bluetooth settings.

PC Suite says no phone connected, but working

After updating to 6.82.22 (from 6.78) I couldn't connect to my 6233 via Bluetooth (Widcomm 4.01.700). It hang's after entering authorization code on the phone. I uninstalled PC suite, used PC Suite cleaner and rebooted. After installing from the scratch I could complete the pairing process. After next reboot PC Suite says "no phone connected", no cable driver installed, no supported BTstack found - but every component of PC Suite is working and I have full access to the phone. OS: Win2k Server SP4, BTstack: Widcomm 4.01.700 PC Suite 6.82.22

Yes - thanks. Now it says connected and gives the BTstack Version in system information. Seems to be a problem with startup, even if the BT tray icon launch up before PC Suite and PC Suite seems to be the last to launch.
