Bose QuietComfort 20i eratic on new iphone 5s

The sound on my iphone 5s plugged into my Bose® QuietComfort® 20i  headphones are eratic
Sometimes it work well sometimes they do not.  I can plu them in and volume goes up and down nicely
then somtimes after trying to use voice on it i can no longer use the volume level control at all.
I can use the skip function but no longer the mic on it or the volume.
I take my spare pair of bose heaphones out with similar controls just not noise cancel and they also
will not work on volume control.
I take both headphones and plug them in my itouch 2s  not running ios7  and they both work great.
I have to reboot the phone to try and make it work again but that is not alwasy the fix.
I have phoned up Bose who think its the headset and that I should mess around with UPS and wait another 7 dyas while they fix my brand new £250 quid headphones but personally after the checks i have done i think its the ios7 bug somewhere
Can I be the only person with this problem ? if so maybe i should send both pairs of heaphones back ?
I have also just completeyl wiped iphone in case it was a blip bug but no still same issue
Help
Darren

I have the same problem.
The volume control on the QC20i does not work with the iPhone 5s. It does work however with the iPad Air. So it probably isn't a simple IOS 7 defect, more likely some interaction of s/w and h/w.
I plan to give Bose support a call later this week and see what they suggest.

  • Why can't I sync my new iPhone 4s with my Bose SoundLink ?.

    Why can't I sync my new iPhone 4s with my Bose SoundLink ?. It synced with my iphone 3 no problem!!

    I am having the exact same problem. My girlfriend and I just bought our 4s phones and no go on syncing.

  • Bose headset no longer works on iPhone 4

    My Bose headset, which worked flawlessly on 3GS, no longer works for voice control and voice memos on my new iphone 4. They still work fine as headphones but the microphone no longer is operational. The Apple supplied headset works and if I unplug the Bose set the voice dialing and memos work okay.
    But when I use the Bose headset and try to record a voice memo it includes a rhythmic static every half second or so. Voice control is completely non-operational with this headset. I'm thinking something with the noise canceling is screwed up.
    Anyone have any possible work arounds?

    Ya, this is a bit of a Joke.
    I have an $80 pair of skullcandy headphones with Mic that I just recently purchased for my iPhone 3G. When I jumped to the iPhone4 it doesnt work. The apple headset works every time. When I plug in the skull candy, I can hear the person I'm calling but they cant hear me and to add to that, there is this staticy pulsing sound on the line from the headset. If I press and hold the Talk/Music button on my SC headset, the person I'm calling can hear me but they say I sound like I'm in the background. I thought as you did that the mic on the phone was then in use, but when i disconnected the headset, the person I called said it changed and I sounded "Really" far away at that point.
    Apple: So how do I fix this? I refuse to carry around two headsets and the apple headset is less than desireable for quality music listening.

  • Bose QuietComfort 2

    My Bose QuietComfort 2 do not funtion with my Ipod. Do I require an adapter for the Jack?

    You need to use one of the headphone adapters. The jack on the iPhone is a non-standard 4-conductor plug (to support the microphone on the apple headset). It must be adapted to use a standard 3-conductor stereo plug, such as on your Bose.

  • Cannot send email from new iPad 2 or new iPhone 4s

    I have a new ipad2 and a new iPhone 4s.  I cannot send email from either.   I had an iPad and an android before with no email issues.  Phone is Sprint and ipad is Verizon.  I have tried using my wifi and have tried turning wifi off.  Nothing works.  Please help.

    I agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
    Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end.

  • Voice memos in iOS7, on new iphone 5s cuts off recordings

    Hi,
    Voice memos has always been super reliable in previous versions but on a new iphone 5s with ios7 I'm finding it cuts off recordings very unpredictably - sometimes after less than a minute sometimes after a quarter hour or so.
    I've seen other threads where the issue has been described but this has been explicitly on longer recordings or where the recording is finished so wanted to raise this again as an issue on new hardware with recordings of any length where the recording stops by itself.
    The bug is making the app unusable at present which is a shame as it looks like it could be a greatly improved app.
    Any ideas?

    The worse thing about this is that Apple Support does not appear to know about it and steered me in the wrong direction. Today I tried it again and lost another 50 minute recording.
    Apple needs to fix this and let users and tech staff know ASAP.
    This has now cost me 2 hours of client time, plus 3 hours of tech support. The client information is priceless to me. I will  not be able to retrieve the content of those discussions, even if I conduct the meetings again. Too many variables were at play.
    I am beyond disillusioned that this issue is being reported in various threads throughout the fall and has not been addressed, and that phone support is unwaware, so more users will end up with the same terrible losses.
    It is, in my opinion, highly irresponsible and a show of disrespect to customers to permit this to be occuring without warning users or applying fixes.

  • How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

    Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus.  All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID.  This has created zero issues until now.  With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone.  I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to  her email address and cell phone number.  Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends.  I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID.  When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID.  Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired.  Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID.  When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

    No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

  • Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

    Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
    Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey Fagen!
    You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

  • If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) do I have to pre-order online or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

    If I wanted to exchange my iPhone 5 for the new iPhone 6 (no additional cost after $199 gift card from selling iPhone 5) can I pre-order online now or do I just have to show up at a Verizon store Sept 19th?

        scodaddy, that is a wonderful question. We are super excited about the new iPhone. You can always pre-order your new iPhone online and then start the mail in rebate by following this link: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC Or you can always go into the store location and do it all in store on the 19th when the phone is launched. That would depend on if the store has them in stock when you go in. I hope that this was able to address your concern.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.
