Bluetooth Stereo Issues

I have tried the Sony Ericsson HBHDS980 and HBHDS205 both have drop call issues. Music works flawlessly, but whenever I receive a call or try to call someone, the connection always drop after a while. I have had the drop call issue with the HBHDS980 on other Win Mobile phones. I am just wondering if others have issues with stereo bluetooth head set. I have a blueant V1 which works flawlessly for calls but it's not stereo.

How do you mean car update? The head unit is aftermarket not built-in so the car itself does not have Bluetooth. It's worth noting (I forget whether I already did or not) that the Bluetooth streaming works perfectly with my iPhone 5 just not with the Sony. I'm now on my second Xperia Z2 as the first one's call quality was abysmal. While this one seems a **bleep** of a lot better this Bluetooth streaming issue is actually doing my head in and making me want to change phones completely.

Bluetooth Stereo jumping issues

Hi all,
Having an issue at the moment when playing back music through my car stereo via Bluetooth every so often the track will just jump for a second and then come back. I've cleared the BT memory and paired the Z2 again and no matter what I do I get the same skipping reoccurring. Has anyone had this issue previously and managed to fix it? Or has anyone any suggestions for a possible fix please?
Thanks in advance,
Pete

Multiple Bluetooth Usage issues

I'm finding Stereo Bluetooth very unreliable and at some points rather irritating. My issues are related to playing music using iTunes to my car stereo.
Connection: (A) When I stop my car, iTunes does not detect that the Bluetooth link dropped. It keeps playing. (B) Whether I pause music before or after turning off the car, it never remembers where it left off. I always have to navigate back to the song. (C) Some of the time when I turn the car back on, it will not connect and begins playing music out of the built in speakers of the iPhone at the volume level remembered when I last had the 1/8" jack plugged in. (D) When it fails to connect there is no way to easily start a re-connection. My only discovered method thus far to force a reconnect is to turn off my car and turn it back on. Very annoying.
Streaming: I seem to have to power cycle the iPhone every time I want to use stereo Bluetooth. If I have run other applications, it seems like there are processes running that interrupt the bluetooth streaming causing the music to break up. It's like the Bluetooth process is at too low of a priority over other processes to work reliably.
I hope this is helpful information for the improvement of the Bluetooth stereo streaming function.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Regarding your item 2 (sorry, I've no idea about the other items), see this KB:
KB05409 Transfer a file using Bluetooth technology between two BlackBerry smartphones
Substitute, in the KB, the appropriate instructions for your other device in place of the KB section for the sending device. Do not skip the "Receive Using BT" step on the receiving BB...nothing will transfer if you do.
Good luck and let us know!

Bluetooth reception issue

Usually bluetooth works ok; but recently; when using my Sony BT22 headphones on my iphone 4 for simple bluetooth reception; the signal would cut out every time I put the phone in my back pocket. I traced it to a weak signal would I could interrupt when I put my hand over the top of the phone. (I have a speck candyshell case) But the problem did not occur in my car for some reason. I'm stumped. Is it that the headset just had a low battery? A phone prob? A case problem? Interference from a grocery store security system?
Any ideas?
thx

Perhaps a solution is an iphone update that boosts the signal?
Sony tech support says this for my phones:
Thank you for contacting Sony Support.
I'm sorry that there is distorted sound from the Bluetooth stereo headset. Based on the information you've provided, I suggest that try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Ensure that this unit is not receiving interference from a wireless LAN, other 2.4 GHz wireless device, or microwave oven.
2. check that the volume of the unit is not set too low.
3. Turn up the volume on the connected device if necessary.
4. Pair this unit and Bluetooth device again.
5. If the issue persist, reset the unit. Pairing information is not deleted by this operation. Insert a small pin, etc, into the hole, and push until you feel a click and check the operation.
Thank you for your time.

Bluetooth connection issues after update

Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

Hi, joshzik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are experiencing issues with various Bluetooth devices and your iPhone. Sometimes pairing the devices again can resolve the issue. However, here are a couple articles that have some helpful troubleshooting steps regarding Bluetooth connectivity and an iOS device.

Bluetooth Stereo Pairing A2DP

I have a couple of Bluetooth Stereo devices that are A2DP compliant - headphones and speakers by Blueant. (When paired to my iMac, when connecting, you are given the option to connect as a headset OR as headphones, as they can work as either). When I pair to my iPhone after the upgrade, they seem to only connect as a telephone headset, and I cannot listen to the iPhone iPod or radio music stations. Am I doing something wrong? I don't seem to have any ability to adjust the Bluetooth settings on the iPhone to connect as stereo headsets. Separately, I thought that I could now pair the iPhone to my iMac to transfer files, etc., but the only Bluetooth services that appear are serial port or modem options. Ideas?

Can you tell me which Motorola headphones you got to work without issues.
I just got a 27" i7 iMac and would like to be able to watch or listen to music without using my external speakers without disturbing the family. This is a really beautiful machine and would love to sit or lay in bed and have the comfort of watching a movie on that HUGH screen!
thanks
p.s or can you recommend a good bluetooth or wireless stereo headphones that can do the job.

IPhone 4S Bluetooth reconnect issue

Hi All,
I recently bought an iPhone 4S and am having problems with Bluetooth.
I have two devices that I used on my iPhone 3GS (TomTom Car Kit and Philips ActionFit Bluetooth Stereo Sports Headset,) with which they worked perfectly. Now that I am using my iPhone 4S, I am having a problem the second time I attempt to use them.
The first time time I connect either of the devices, they work perfectly with the iPhone 4S. However, the second time I attempt to use them they will not connect automatically. If I go into the iPhone 4S Bluetooth settings and attempt to connect them manually (by clicking on the device) the iPhone 4S says that it cannot find the device. To connect the device, I first have to forget the device then go through the pairing process all over again.
Has anyone had the same issue? Any thought on what might be the problem or how to resolve it?
This is the second iPhone 4S I have had. I returned the first one due to a multitude of problems including this same Bluetooth issue, so I am assuming the problem is not unique to my device.
Thanks,
Noilly

I have been having the same exact problem since I bought my phone a year ago. I have tried 3 different devices with same result. Very frustrating!! I have not found anything that helps. Any information would be much appreciated.

Bluetooth stereo and settings

Hi all.
Got a bit of an issue with my Bluetooth, or more to the point my Alpine car stereo.
I’ve paired it with the iPhone fine and it connects first time every time and all my contacts sync perfect. However the head unit works with iPod/iPhone and connects via a lead to a dock connector. The problem is that if the phone is connected and I start the car, the music plays but as soon as Bluetooth connects, it mutes the music as the device has switched to Bluetooth stereo mode as it thinks it’s a Bluetooth headset?
To get music playing again I have to either disconnect then re-connect the iPhone of turn Bluetooth off.
What I want to know is, is there a way to turn Bluetooth headset off and what do the other settings do on Bluetooth device menu. I think I could guess what they do but I want to confirm to see if any will resolve my problem.
So what do the following do: 'Phone Favourites', 'Phone Recents' then in other groups 'All Contacts' is ticked?
Thanks in advance

Got a bit further with an answer after speaking to Alpine
Apparently this is known issue from the latest iPhone software update with the 3GS that is affecting many devices. Alpine are aware and their top people have informed Apple who have acknowledged the problem and apparently are working on a fix in the next update
The person I spoke to was surprised the iPhone had no way to turn bluetooth streaming off, i'm not! Another set of options were not allowed to touch, cheers Apple

Does the E52 work with Bluetooth stereo headset?

The device details at forum.nokia.com don't list BluetoothStereoAudio as a property of the E52 (it does for 5630).
Can anybody confirm this?

if nokia specification says it has A2DP and AVRCP, then it is compliant with Bluetooth Stereo no doubt about it... bluetooth stereo is now a very common capability in many N and E series devices...
The specification does say that it has A2DP and AVRCP. The question here is, if it will work properly. I have experienced problems with a Motorola S9 and N73, S9 and N85, S9 and N95-8GB. The pairing will be perfect, but music breaks and call volume is very low compared to the same S9 when paired with a MotoROKR. In theory, all these phones support A2DP & AVRCP. But still there is an interoperability issue.

My brand new iPhone 5 keeps saying "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure "___" is turned on and in range" when I try to connect to my BlueTooth Stereo.

I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 (White and Gold) and have been having trouble keeping it connected to my BlueTooth Stereo. The stereo was purchased brand new back in September and is current on all software. Before I had my iPhone 5, I had the iPhone 4 and had no troubles with it connecting or remembering to connect to the stereo when it was in range. Now, in order to connect to it, I have to first "forget the device" then search for it again, find it, and connect. As soon as I turn either the stereo off, turn the iPhone off, or switch modes on the stereo (to CD mode, radio, etc) it loses the connection and does not pick it up again. It still shows up in my list of available bluetooth devices, but when I try to connect it says "Connection Unsuccessful: Make sure '____' is turned on and in range" which of course, it is.
I bought this stereo because I am a music teacher and use my phone frequently when teaching my classes. You can probably imagine how cumbersome it becomes when after each class if I have alternated between using my iPhone to play music or switching to CD mode, I then need to "forget the device" and follow the steps I outlined above to get it working again.
Has anyone else had this problem with the new iPhone and does anyone have a solution (I HOPE!!!!!)
Thanks!

Can you use the mic of a bluetooth stereo headset on an iPod touch 2G w/ fi

Hi guys.
I have a Dell bluetooth stereo headset with mic incorporated.
I want to use this to have conversations with my iPod touch, using voip software.
Can this be done? I'm asking because when I pair the headset with my iPod, the new voice notes app says I don't have any mic.
In case it can't be done, can I use my headset with an added mic, connected to the audio plug in in the touch? I referring to something like this:

Please can someone help me out. I initial configure my bluetooth stereo ear piece with my iphone 4 and it was working but I mistakenly forget the bluetooth device and I cannot reconfigure it again with my iphone 4.

Bluetooth stereo headsets for E61i?

As E61i does not support A2DP there are no Nokia bluetooth stereo headsets available. But are they totally incompatible or just working mono then? Asking because my notebook supports A2DP and I just need ONE headset for both...

Hi,
I think that the adapters are the same. You just need to check that both support stereo sound and look about the same.
And of course, you can always go to a shop and test them. (Which is probably best in any case, since what might be the best for someone might not be best for everyone else.)

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

Anybody having bluetooth connectivity issues after devices are paired? Periodically, my mouse stops working and I have to turn it off and back on for it to reconnect. Mouse doesn't do this when paired with my old Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop.-bp

Hi All, I have been experiencing this random disconnect problem as well. Sometimes it came good and then sometimes I had to remove and reinstall the same as everyone else.
My problem is with a Logitech V470 mouse. <o:p></o:p>
Recently the symptoms changed and it became a permanent device instead of a bluetooth connected device. <o:p></o:p>
Furthermore, it couldn't be removed at all. The only way to remove it was to uninstall all of the Bluetooth module drivers. When the system rebooted,
it again loaded as a permanent device along with printers. Please note I'm talking about it being fully connected but not functioning whether it was turned on or off (present or not present). I wondered what had changed this time to make this significant
change in behaviour. Okay time to roll-back updates and go to a previous restore point/s. Guess what, problem solved! I had to go back two restore points to fix the problem. What was it, it was a JAVASCRIPT auto update!<o:p></o:p>
Once I past (rolled back) the most recent Javascript update the mouse returned to a bluetooth connected device and I could disconnect and reconnect. Javascript
changed the way this device was being recognised and connected.
JAVASCRIPT is underlying all of these problems of connection. Roll it back and suddenly you'll have control again! Hopefully Oracle will soon fix
this, until then, I'm disabling updates of JAVA.<o:p></o:p>

Getting Bluetooth Stereo to Work (A2DP profile)

IT WORKS!
I was terribly disappointed to learn that Apple didn't include the A2DP Bluetooth stereo profile in the iPhone. Since A2DP Bluetooth stereo is an established and stable standard, I can't think of any reason why Apple would not have included it in the iPhone. Hopefully they will add this as a firmware update, in the near future. In the mean time, I found a work-around.
For more than a year, I have been using the Wi-Gear, iMuffs MA110, Bluetooth dock adaptor on my conventional iPod, with great success. My Motorola HT820 headset worked simultaneously with both my cell phone and the MA110 on my iPod. The iPod would automatically pause, when a phone call came in. It was really great and best of all, NO WIRES!
Well, when I got my iPhone home and activated, one of the first things that I did, was to embark on finding a way to get rid that archaic wired headset that comes with the iPhone. The answer turned out to be rather simple, though somewhat irritating. I plugged my MA110 Bluetooth adaptor into the dock of the iPhone. The iPhone asked if I wanted to go into "Airplane Safe" mode. I responded "No." About 10 seconds later, I heard the beep in my Motorola HT820 headset, indicating that syncing had been successful.
I went to iTunes on the iPhone and picked a tune and it played over my HT820 headset. All of the headset controls worked (Play, Pause, FF, REW, Skip, Next) Then, I used my landline to call my iPhone. The music faded and I was able to use the phone function over the HT820.
The only glitch is that when I pause the music for too long, the iPhone removes power from the dock connector, which turns off the MA110 adaptor. This requires activating the iPhone screen and waiting for the MA110 to re-sync with the HT820 headset, before you can use it again. This only applies to pauses that were NOT instigated by a phone call or when you hang up a call and don't start the music again, right away. When you are on a phone call, the dock power stays active.
The irritating part is that Apple's limitations requires me to have a Bluetooth adaptor, at all. At least, the MA110 is quite small and unobtrusive. It's about the size of a quarter and about as thick as three quarters stacked. It's small enough to fit through the dock opening in most carrying cases. See the image here:
http://ActionAmerica.org/images/iPhone-iMuffs.jpg
Note: Your Bluetooth headset must be turned on, BEFORE you plug in the iMuffs MA110, if syncing is to be successful. The same applies to re-activating the dock power after long pauses. Also, the first time you sync your headset to the MA110, you will probably have to put the headset into "Discover Me" mode.
I hope that this helps some of you.
It's not a great fix, but it should hold us, until Apple gets their Bluetooth act together.

what i want to know is if a2dp is entirely a software thing and thus we know its simply a matter of firmware update, or is it hardware related at all meaning that it might not even be possible for iPhone1.0 to ever support stereo via bluetooth? is it possible that the muffs bluetooth adapter has special hardware not in the iPhone is the reason it works?
if its just a matter of firmware, i can only assume its just a matter of time until this is fixed...but does seem a pretty glaring omission. I wish Apple would make some comments on things like this... i really like the look of the motorola rockr bluetooth headsets, and dont want to buy some momo single earpiece one now if stereo is coming soon...
