BMW bluetooth connection problems with the iphone 4s

My 2010 BMW 528 and iphone 4s are not working properly together. About half my outgoing calls from the car leave the recipient unable to hear my voice. Consequently they hang up. If I call them back a second time they usually hear me just fine. The pairing generally seems solid. I receive calls normally and both parties hear each other on all incoming calls. It's just the outbound calls that dont work reliably. Apple is trouble shooting (e.g., a iOS5 reinstall is pending) but I'm not sure (nor are they) that this will fix it. Some thought that there may be a basic imcompatibility between the two devices. Many report that the 3g and 4 models pair and work fine with BMW's. Any thoughts/suggestions? 

I have the same problem in 2010 BMW 528i and iPhone 4S. I reduced how often this happens by turning off syncing of contact on the iphone. But it still happens daily. The audio is not diverted from the phone to the car.
Really, really hoping that this gets fixed with iOS 5 update soon.

  • HT4528 I have an IPhone 5 and the bluetooth will not stay connected with my 2011 Chrysler 200. I was told by Chrysler service department that it is a problem with the IPhone 5. Is there an update or a fix so i can use the bluetooth in my vehicle?

    Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work.  It is already unlocked.  Just put local Iranian SIM in phone. 

  • Anyone have a problem with the iPhone 6 freezing when you're trying to send a text?

    I seem to be having a couple of problems with the iPhone 6 or possibly the update 8.1.2.  Sometimes when I turn the phone horizontally to text, nothing happens and it only works if I turn it back vertically.  Also, sometimes when I receive a call from someone who is already on my contact list, only the number shows up and not the name or picture connected with that contact.  It appears when I answer, but sometimes I don't want to answer if I don't recognize the number.
    Anyone else having these issues?  Do we need another update to the software to fix these problems?

    How much available storage do you have on your iPhone? You can find this at Settings>General>Usage
    If your available space is measured in megabytes (MB) then it is causing problems for your phone's operating system.
    If your available space is measured in gigabytes (GB) then that isn't the source of the problems and you can move to some other troubleshooting steps. First, try a simple restart  (holding the sleep wake button for about 5 seconds until the power off slider appears).
    If the problems reoccur after you've restarted the phone, I recommend Reset All Settings, which is located in Settings>General>Reset

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Hello, I have a problem with the iphone 4s

    Hello, I have a problem with the iphone 4s, here is the issue: I wanted to call, there was no beeps, then I've got the call, and everything was allright, I turned off the iphone, then I failed to restore it with 1611 error,I tried it on several computers with the same error 1611. What should I do, I live in Russia, but bought iPhone in the USA, can I send mail to the USA for warranty service, or to Europe, and how to do it? Please help, Iphone worked for a month and then broke, I treated it very carefully.

    Your security software (firewall, anti-virus) may be interferring with your attempt to restore. Disable them during the restore.

  • Hello I have a problem with the iPhone from China apple store

    Hello
    I have a problem with the iPhone and I do not know who to turn to.
    I bought an iphone 4 in the Apple Store in Shanghai, and it has a bug! I changed the regional settings to my native language, but the search in safari goes site the Google.cn.
    What should I do? On this particular no one says. This is clearly a bug!
    Also in my phone no youtube. I know that youtube banned in China, but I'm not in China now!
    Why do not you strapped local restrictions on the location of the phone??

    eh...
    The reason I bought the iphone in China - the price is reduced by 50% сompared to the price in Russia.
    I just thought that these restrictions are useless. And Apple should remove them when you change the region ...

  • If i buy an iphone in USA and don't buy a contract, could i use it in Denmark then and buy a contract their and still have no problems with the iPhone.

    If you buy an Unlocked iPhone from the US, you can use that phone on any carrier that supports that particular phone (either GSM or CDMA). So yes, this is possible. But if anything happens to the phone that requires Apple's help, you will have to ship it back to US for that service.

    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    (Here's that part I'm bolding for you to reference): Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
    Exactly.  It keeps a collection of the most recent 1000 photos in your Photostream Album on your iOS device.  That's the limit of the displayed images on an iOS device.  Not the upper limit of storage.  It's like the call history.  You can have more than 100 calls, but only the most recent 100 calls show on the device. You can still get your entire call history from your wireless carrier.  And you can still download all of your Photostream photos from Photostream using iCloud Control panel on a PC, or the iCloud option in System Preferences on a Mac.

    My Photo Stream upload limits
    The My Photo Stream limits below are established based on anticipated upload patterns. Currently, My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
    If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will be paused temporarily and you may see a notification message on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically after you no longer exceed one of the limits, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
    You can upload 10,000 photos in a single DAY.

  • Anyone having trouble with this phone and their in car bluetooth?  Calls dropping not recognizing the device.  Had the car bluetooth reset at dealer. They said it is a common problem with the iPhone?

    Bluetooth in car is not recognizing my device and when it does it will only stay connected about 5 minutes.   Blue tooth has been reset at the dealer. They said it is very common with the iPhone? The car is a 2014 Toyota Highlander.  This is very very frustrating as I have a 45 minute commute to work and do not want to have to hold my phone.... Thank you for any help.

    Wow you would think the newer car is just an updated version of what your husbands has.
    I wonder if your husbands car was updated to the same connect system if his would not connect?
    Does your husbands phone work because he does not have the new iOS from Apple?
    Can he hook to your connect system in the car?
