Bluetoothe keeps searching for new devices
Hi everyone,
I have a BT connected problem with my Iphone 4S. In contrast to many here, I can connect with my headset (Jawbone) fine and my phone sees pretty much anything. However, once I activate BT, it will keep searching for new devices all the time and this eats the batter up pretty fast (by mid-day it is 50% gone, without my doing much, except for a few calls using my headset). Does anybody know how can BT stopped from looking for new devices unless directed to do so?
Many thanks and best regards,
Ed Moses
Solved : I changed the name of my Aperture Library and it works now…

Google maps says GPS signal lost and GPS software shows that there are no active satellites located.
Thinking that it was a bug in the software I had the phone check for software updates and it is now stuck with the message "checking for new software for your HTC HTC6435LVW". Phone still works but the message keeps reappearing.
I have powered the phone off, removed the sim card, reinserted the sim card and powered the phone back up but that did not help. What next?Never fear, help is here Citadel_1974! I would be delighted to help out today. Have you attempted to process a full restore/reset on the device? If not, please complete and reconnect with us on the outcome. We look forward to hearing from you soon, thanks!

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices
My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
ThanksCan you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.
No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I'm using 3G3 16gb and just upgraded to 4.3.3. Tried activating bluetooth to use Personal Hotspot for my laptop. But the iphone keep searching for devices thou my laptop can detect the phone. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

My ipod touch just keeps searching for a wi-fi connection in my house where it use to connect automatically. My other apple devices still are connecting so not the wi-fi. I have reset to original settings, turned off-on-off-on... nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. (I think you did this)
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.
One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

How can I turn off that Maveriks at iMac is scanning continuously for new devices?
Hi, I have a iMac (early 2008) updatet to 10.9 Maveriks with Bluetooth mouse, mousepad en keyboard. I listen at home to music with a Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver (with Bluetooth) via my iMac, iPad and android device.
When I startup or wake up my iMac, Maveriks is always staring to scan for new Bluetooth devices?!. Than every time, my receiver (also when the receiver is turned off) is turning on and change to Bluetooth mode.
I can't turn off the Bluetooth function at my Onkyo TX-NR626 A/V receiver. With Mountain Lion, I didn't had this problems.
I want to turn of the continuously scanning procedure after startup or wake up on my iMac.
My question is:
How can I turn off that Maveriks is scanning continuously for new devices?
How can I turn off the detection mode of my iMac?Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature. -
Bluetooth keep searching & searching for device but fail to detect any device
Hello:
If you mean connect the iPad to the iPod touch, that connectivity is limited to peer-to-peer (read about that in a knowledge base article).

I bought my iphone-3g in new zealand and brough it back to Hong Kong. It's working fine until yesterday - the "connect to iTunes" screen appears. I did that and restored it, then "waiting for activation" message pop out. It keep searching for the carrier and keep restarting itself while connected to iTunes. What happens?!
Hey CaiYC,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having issues with your iPhone relating to cellular service. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps for this issue. If you are unable to loacate the carrier settings, or your issue persists, please contact your carrier as recommended towards the end of the article.
iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4429
If you're outside the United States, please also follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings > Carrier > Automatic.
If the phone registers any carrier network, Settings > Carrier will be present.
2. If the Carrier option is missing in Settings and you're outside of the Unites States, please contact Apple for support and service options.
Set the option for Automatic to off.
3. A list of potentially available carriers appears after about two minutes. If the device is locked to a carrier, it may connect only to the carrier network to which it is locked. If the device displays carrier networks, then the device is working as expected.
4. Set Settings > Carrier > Automatic back to on.
If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause these symptoms.
Thanks,

How to search for BT device automatically every x seconds?
I have a Trust BT-2100p which came with the Toshiba Bluetooth software.
I can connect my Bluetooth remote control to my HTPC, but when I disconnect and want to reconnect again, I have to right click on the device, press "connect" and then "OK" in the popup window before it starts searching.
The whole point with the remote is that I don't need a keyboard or a mouse.
I can make a simple .bat-file that starts the connection automatically every x seconds, but it can't press the "OK" button.
Is there a way to make it search for the device automatically every x seconds?HID devices are automatically connected as soon as a button was pressed on it. I checked the internet regarding your WII devices. The problem in your case is that this devices supports a none standard function which must be configured first in oder to reconnect by HID automatically. So this has to be done by the software which you mentioned. It has to configure the controller which should be used. This device support 4 of it.
