Bluetooth won't turn on (iPhone 5)

Hi there,
Have a problem with my iPhone 5. When I try and turn on Bluetooth it gets stuck on the turning wheel icon and never turns on. I have tried turning it on and off, a proper reboot and updating the iOS without any success in getting it work properly again. Anyone got any advice?
Thanks,
Simon

If the issue continues, since all other basic troubleshooting has already been done, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Bluetooth won't turn on on my new c5

I received a c5 phone this august but the bluetooth won't turn on. I already updated the software, tried the factory settings but it's no use. Could this be a factory defect? I am planning to exchange it back to Nokia but i don't have the receipt anymore. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What happens when you try to switch Bluetooth on? Is there an error message?

AT&T Unlocked Blackberry Classic Bluetooth Won't Turn On

I just purchased an AT&T branded Blackberry Classic and regretfully I can't get Bluetooth to activate. I've tried EVERY method on the boards and no such luck. Yes, I've restored back to factory 2 times now and still, Bluetooth won't activate. Any other ideas or thoughts?

Thank you. Given that, I next recommend you reload your OS, but via the unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/It may also be that your device has a hardware issue, which of course no amount of OS loading can cure. You can run BBVE to see if it provides you with any information, but if it is hardware, you'd have to seek formal warranty support from whoever you purchased it from.Article ID: KB35973 Using the BlackBerry Virtual Expert (BBVE) diagnostics applicationGood luck and let us know!

After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
Very frustrating.
I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

Since iOS 5.1.1 and OS X 10.8.1 bluetooth won't connect my iPhone 4 and my iMac

Recently updated my iMac to 10.8.1. My iPad 2 and iPhone 4 have both been updated to iOS 5.1.1. Today I tried connecting them both to my iMac via Bluetooth. Had great difficulty connecting the iPad, but eventually connected after numerous tries. The phone, however, refuses to connect. I've done some Web searches including the forums here, but haven't found any solutions. Does anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Bluetooth won't turn on...

I recently installed a couple of themes onto my N90. Since then I have been unable to turn on my bluetooth, even after uninstalling the themes to revert the phone back to the state it was in when bluetooth would work.
Please help!
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi there! Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I have an S4 as well and started having the same issue with the Bluetooth functionality on my phone. It was working fine just a day ago and now I can't get the Bluetooth to turn on.
Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1st Gen - 2.2.1 update Bluetooth won't turn on

Tried reset / power cycled. Just spins. Doesn't even turn the radio on.
Now what?

How do you know it's not working? Seeing the spinning progress wheel in the Bluetooth settings sections is like seeing the light on in your fridge - when the door's open, it's always on. Even with my Apple headset already paired, I see the spinning wheel.

For the second time my wi fi is grey and Bluetooth won't turn on was already given a new one but leaving for vacation tonight and now will be leaving with no phone working like it should be! What am I to do?

Can't turn on wi fi nor Bluetooth for second time leaving for vacation tonight but without a proper phone happened once before and they replaced it but there has to be someway to fix it without going to apple! My plane leaves in four hours

Hey Webbrowser. I am sorry for the delayed response and that bluetooth and WiFi was giving your device some troubles. I hope that you had a nice vacation that you had a safe return.
Are you still having issues with WiFi and Bluetooth?
If so, please try resetting the network settings, http://vz.to/uLOEAI.
After you update the network settings, please update us with results and let us know if the WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

Photostream won't turn on iPhone 5

I've got a strange issue. If I go into settings On my iPhone 5, I can turn on photostream but the on/off button then moves back to off straight away.
I've tried turning off iCloud and re-enabling it but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

Yes!!! I have the same problem. I wish someone from support would respond. Anyone find the solution yet?

Bluetooth won't turn off or on.

At times, my blue-tooth is very finicky.
When I try to connect a mouse, and I disconnect the mouse, and turn off the BT, I have to RESTART my Mac before BT can be turned on again.
If I don't restart the Mac, the blue-tooth will be in a perpetual "turning on" mode and never actually execute.
I just installed the software update as well.
This happens not just for mice, but if I try to connect to my phone as well.
Any help? Thanks.

I used the Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
that fixed up the problem right away!

HT201270 My iPhone 4 wifi won't turn on

My iPhone 4S wifi and bluetooth won't turn on. Any fix for this? I tried remote wipe and then restore from the PC but the issue is still there. I've also tried to reset all settings and reset network settings but the issue is still there.

My 4s also grayed out the wifi setting a couple of weeks ago. I called technical support and the guy _insisted_that there is no known problem with phones with respect to IOS 6. He told me to reset the phone and restore and that would probably solve all my problems. Really, there is nothing wrong with the phone, he told me. I had tried just about everything else I had found on-line. The complete erase and restore did not work.
Then I went to the Genius Bar and they tried a few things (more resets) and they concluded wifi is not functioning but since it is out of warranty, they want $199 to replace it. $199 is not the cost of a new phone so obviously there is some concession here but not a complete acceptance of responsiblity. The Genius Bar told me that - in fact - that there is a known firmware problem with the phones and IOS6 that crops up randomly. Not with a lot of phones, just the unlucky few. If it is out of warranty, you have to pay. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty with my credit card so I can get reimbursed.
My next purchase is going to be an android tablet. I'm going to wean myself away from the Apple orchard. I want to expand my options for my next phone purchase.

With the new update OS 10.3.1.1565, my bluetooth wouln't turn off.

Did anyone face such problem with bluetooth and glitch in BBM.

What glitch in BBM?
I haven't seen an issue where Bluetooth won't turn off...seen it where it won't turn on.

MBA won't connect to iPhone or Jambox via Bluetooth, but works with bluetooth Apple Mouse

MBA won't connect to iPhone or Jambox via Bluetooth, but works fine with bluetooth Apple Mouse. When trying to pair with the iPhone it says "The Bluetooth Network is unavailable. There was an error connecting to your device. Make sure the device is turned on and in range." When trying to connect to the Jambox it says "Bluetooth audio failed. There was an error connecting to your headset. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted." The iPhone and Jambox pair together fine, and I have paired with both the iPhone and the Jambox easily in the past. I haven't updated anything - it just stopped working with these two devices. This is very frustrating.

I could not pair with Uconnect on a 2011 Jeep after upgrading to iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. After shutting off iCloud and resetting network settings I was able to successfully pair the phone to Uconnect

[Help]iPhone 5s screen won't turn on / won't play sounds

Hello, my name is Bryan.
I've got a problem with my iPhone 5s. I opened my iPhone to fix an issue with the home button (Watched a guide on youtube on how to achieve this), and I connected everything as it is supposed to go, my home button is working but now my screen won't turn on or the phone won't play any sounds. I know the phone it's on because I can connect it to the computer and the computer recognizes it. Also, I tried calling it, and it rings on the phone I am calling from, but my iPhone simply won't play any sounds...
I am also sure the phone is not in DFU mode.
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
- Bryan

It won't even vibrate or do anything, but it's on.

My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

Hey Thermali,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
