Bluetooth problems with iPhone 3G

Does anyone know why my iPhone 3G will only find some bluetooth devices and not others? Since i got it i have only been able to successfully pair with my Samsung bluetooth ear piece.
Cheers
Rob

What devices are you trying to pair with? Note that the iPhone only supports protocols for voice and music, not for file sharing - so, you cannot pair with other phones, computers, etc. (except for tethering, if your carrier supports that).

  • Bluetooth Problems With iPhone 6

    With the latest iOS on iPhone 6 is there still problems with Bluetooth connectivity? I have a FitBit, a Plantronics Marque 2, and a Casio STB-1000 watch that will not stay constantly connected. Since the later two were new, I was blaming them until I started having problems with the Fitbit which I never had problems on my iPhone 5 and seeing others having problems. Come on Apple, with all the people having problems we need a fix.

  • Bluetooth problem with iphone 5

    why i can´t conect my IPHONE 5 with my MAC...... someone knows how to do it??? because i try everything and nothing works!!!
    10x

    Unless you're trying to Tether, by Bluetooth, your phone won't pair with your Mac. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.
    So, you can quit trying.

  • HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

    Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

    Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

  • Problem with iphone 5 bluetooth

    Have problem with iphone 5 bluetooth pairing with 2012 toyota corolla audio.  After receiving incoming call, there is a pause then return to radio mode for a 3-5 second period.  Unlike pairing with old iphone 3g, bluetooth connected immediately to incoming call.  Have tried various methods to redo pairing, but same result and 3-5 second delay.  Any suggestions? 

    My Bluetooth on iPhone 5 works fine with 2 x BMWs never had any issues

  • Is there a fix for the connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.2?

    Is there a fix for the bluetooth connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.4?
    I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
    All worked OK with ISO 6.

    Hello CraigNicholson
    You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.
