Bose Bluetooth ear piece locking up phone. Ipone 4s.

I'm having a issue with my Bose Bluetooth ear piece. It will work for an hour then when a call comes in and I pick it up it switches to Speakerphone. This is when the phone goes wacky cannot call out or take calls,all the microphones on the phone shut off like its muted by itself. I have to power down the phone and restart and its fine. I have tried two different Bose ear piece and they both do the same thing. Its funny it will work for a few hours then Halloween out!

Its a hardware problem!
I had exact same issue.  I went to the Genius Bar at Apple and the first thing the tech wanted to do was restore factory setting, without a back up (which meant I would lose some settings and pics that I could not back up).  He also warned me that I would not be able to restore the phone from my back up as it could possibly re-introduce the bug that c caused the problem.  I agreed (under protest) and waited while he did the restore.   When it was done, I had the issue of resetting my vm password, to which he instructed me that I would have to go to AT&T to resolve.  Luckily there is an AT&T kiosk just outside the door to the Apple store.  They instructed me to call 611 to resolve the issue.  While attempting the 611 call, the same issue started again (speaker came on automatically, could not shut off, person couldn’t hear me etc.)  I went back in the store and the tech then placed two “test” calls to the store itself and the phone worked fine.  He was still not satisfied and sent me away.  As I walked out of the mall, I called AT&T again and the speaker button got stuck.  I left the call connected and brought the phone back into the Apple store with the call connected and the speaker button stuck.  The tech finally agreed it was more likely to be a hardware issue vs a software problem and replaced the handset.  I came back to the office, restored my phone from my back up with all my apps, configurations, settings etc. and the new handset works fine.  All Bluetooth devices (headset, phone) etc. work beautifully!

  • Ttrying to connect a Motorola bluetooth ear piece to my iPhone 5S

    I am trying to connect a Motorola bluetooth ear piece to my iPhone 5S. It was connected once before and I told the phone to forget it. Now I cannot get it to recognize the earpiece again. Any suggestions? The earpiece has only 3 buttons. on/off, hang up, initiate a call. I've powered it on and off as well as powering off the phone.  I've even installed iOS 7.1.1 to see if it made a difference and it didn't. Suggestions?

    You need to put the earpiece into discovery/pairing mode. Since you tapped on forget the device, the phone needs to see it again, and that will not happen unless the phone is in discovery/pairing mode. If you are unsure how to do this, then check the documentation for the earpiece. Generally it involves holding a button down for a short period of time causing the light to blink, then checking the phone with Bluetooth turned on.

    I change my greeting every day. Each morning when I hit "Record" on the greeting window, I'm routed to Siri. The only way I can record a new greeting is through my Bluetooth ear piece. This all started when I upgraded to OS 7. What's up?

    Start with http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html, then my mod to Finder's Find at http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080229204517495 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure.

  • The ear piece on my phone has gone quite

    Ive had my iPhone 4 for nearly 2 years & all of a sudden the ear piece has gone very quite I've turned up the volume without success any suggestion please.

    "ear piece" - do you mean the ear speaker on the phone or the headset?  You need to provide more specific detail, including what troubleshootings steps you've tried.

    Does anyone know how to keep the music app from auto playing when I connect my blue tooth ear piece? It's driving me crazy because when I'm on a call and switch to Bluetooth the music starts playing. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    G,
    You might try downloading Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play from the playstore.
    I found this on the web and it may help:

  • Does your ear piece on the phone rattle?

    my volume is set to about mid level on the ear piece built into the phone itself. when i first listen to the ATT voice setup automated voice, I noticed it was rattling the the phone speaker.
    Then someone called me, and sure enough, it sounds like a crackle, or rattle in the ear piece. Turn it down where I can barely hear it, and it stops the rattle.
    F

    no problem here (or hear) - or with anyone I have talked too that has one. Mine sounds fine.
    Here's how you fix it. Drive to your local Apple store and ask them to replace the phone with a non-rattle version. Maybe that one was designed for young children or snake wranglers in west texas.

  • Bose Ear Piece Bluetooth.

    Does any Bose Bluetooth Er Piece speak back the caller ID, when you have a call?

    No it doesn't. I have used it on both Android and Iphones
    It use to depend on the device. The plantronics voyager legend does announce as well as the Motorola Elete both cost around $100
    Good Luck

  • Phones ear piece

    When someone calls me or i call someone, i can barely hear the other person on the other line. Can anyone tell me whats wrong with it or how to fix it? This is my first iphone. Just to clarify it, it's the ear piece on the phone itself, not the head phones. Thanks

    I have the same problem, even with the volume turned all the way to the maximum.  For comparison purposes, I also still have my AT&T iPhone4, and the AT&T version is much louder at the earpiece.
    BTW, I have one of those Sennheiser call-center headsets that I was using with my AT&T iPhone4 when I had to make calls while driving (since it has fantastic noise cancellation abilities and is a binaural headset).  It worked great.  But on my Verizon iPhone4, it works very poorly, causing an echo and some crackling sound.
    Evidently Apple made more changes to the Verizon version than just a CDMA radio.  Can anyone else confirm these findings?  If so, I'll know it's a design flaw; if not, I'll exchange my Verizon iPhone4 for another one to see.

  • Nokia 6121- ear piece won't work

    When I plug in the ear piece to my phone it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone suggest a setting I might be able to change to get it working? Or does it seem faulty? In enhancement settings I have the default set to headset.

    I have the exact same problem. It seems that all mail is contained in the folder "All mail". At least that is the case with my phone. This is very annoying.
    A fix anyone?

  • The sound on my ipod 4 touch is speeded up when I play a podcast in any format - Bose dock, ear phones or mic.  How do I fix that?  Can I?

    How can I return the sound on my iPod 4 touch to normal?  The sound is speeded up when I play a downloaded podcast in any format - Bose dock, ear phones or mic.  It's hard to tell, but the music seems ok, and the podcasts sound fine on my Mac.
    I don't know what happened, but suddenly the playback was speeded up, even on podcasts that I had listened to normally before! Do I need to take it in for repair?  Is there anything I can do?  Thanks for your advice!  Paula

  • HT204368 have a blueant Q2 that does not like to stay connected. Have phone in shirt pocket but ear piece drops in and out at will. Blueant says they do not have a proble, has to be Iphone. any ideas at $99.99 plus tax and can't use it, well you figure it

    Received new iphone 5 for Christmas. Also Blueant Q2 blue tooth ear piece. Phone works great, blueant, not so. Have had numerous emails and phone calls to tech about dropping out. There is no active phone, you are connected and all I have to do is move my head to have either happen. I keep the phone in my shirt pocket and it can't be over 10-14 inches from one to the other. Any thoughts and suggestions???? At $99.99 plus tax just can;\'t afford to hit it with a hammer.
