Droid Pro dropping bluetooth connect

Issue: Droid Pro seems to drop its bluetooth connection with late model BMW very often. Will cut a call with no notice. User had no problem with previous phone in the same vehicle (BBerry 8830). Anyone experienced this issue? More importantly... is there a fix?
TIA

Hello Community members
I know how important hands free kits are. I also know that some automobiles aren't as up to date as our new devices.
I've checked the BMW's website and the Droid Pro at this time isn't listed as a Bluetooth compatible device. Here's also a link of blue tooth car kits that are available for your current device. I would contact the automobile dealership to see if they are going to cover the device and when.
Thank you

MacBook Pro dropping bluetooth connection with HP Officejet 100

I've recently started developing problems with my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.4) maintaining a bluetooth connection with my HP Officejet 100 Mobile Printer.
The problem I'm seeing is that when I send something to the printer, everything starts out okay, but then after about 10 seconds, the bluetooth icon in my status bar indicates that it is no longer connected. The printer pauses for a minute or so and then spits out the half-printed page.
Anybody else seeing this? Any suggestions on how to fix?

I have a similar issue, albeit a different bluetooth printer from yours.
According to a review on CNET's website, the dropping of bluetooth connections seems to have been introduced in the 10.7.4 update and did not exist in the 10.7.3 version of the Mac OS X Lion software.

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.

E51 Drops Bluetooth connection with Car Radio afte...

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anybody has seen this before. It seems like a few people are seeing this but I have yet to find a solution. My phone pairs perfectly and works as it should for about the first 30 mins, then for no reason, it drops the bluetooth connection and I either have to power my phone or radio on/off. This is very annoying as it has now dropped the call too and I am force to redial.
Sometimes it does not even last 30 mins, and might happen after only 10 mins or so.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.

Yes, I have a similar problem which is a real pain if the call is dropped mid-conversation. Have you installed the MS Exchange email client from Nokia because that may cause a disconnect during a poll update.
Other than that I can't suggest anything, except it would be good to get a solution to the problem!

Nokia Lumia 800 dropping Bluetooth connection to c...

Hi
First time on here so be gentle
My 4 month old Lumia 800 pairs correctly with my new car - Hynudai New generation Santa Fe Premium SE and connects each time I start the car. But after anything from 1 to 3 minutes it drops the connection, remains unconnected for about the same time then reconnects again only to drop out after a couple of minutes and so on. If I press the 'Phone' connection button in the car the "Seareching for Phone" display shows then it conencts again ok but only for a couple of minutes then drops out again!
I have been back to the car dealership who have tested the cars BT connection with two other mobile phones and they say its an issue with the Nokia 800 itself and not the car which works correclty with all other mobiles!
My phone shop said it probably needs an upgrade of the software and to conenct via Zune which I have done and no new upgrades are available!
Ideas anyone on what to do, as its driving me mad!
I cant repalce the phone as its on a two year contract! I have looked on the internet and I see there are quite a few people reporting similar issues with their BT connections dropping out.
Does anyone know a fix?
Or
What are Nokia doing about this?

In some cases, Bluetooth devices don't follow industry-standard Bluetooth communication protocols, so changes in the Windows Phone software may affect how these devices respond. If your Bluetooth device doesn't work as expected, this doesn't mean there's a problem with your phone.
If you continue to have connection problems, try contacting your Bluetooth device manufacturer.
To learn more about pairing Bluetooth devices in Windows Phone, see the following article on the Windows Phone Help and how-to website:

If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

DroidX dropping Bluetooth connections with 2010 Honda Accord

I hope soneone has an answer for this one.
My phone drops the bluetooth connection with the HandsFreeLink in my car (2010 Honda Accord w/Nav) after a period of time (20-30mins). The phone call is still active. Only the bluetooth connection is cutoff. The car will not recognize the phone until I either shutoff and restart the car or pull the battery on the phone and reboot it. This does not happen with my wife's motorola flip type phone.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all for posting your questions and concerns!
I can imagine how frustrating it gets when experiencing the Bluetooth connection problems! Just want to let everyone know our Product and Bluetooth Team are aware of the issues with connectivity since software update, and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix as soon as possible.
We will keep you updated!
Thanks for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless!

6350 keeps dropping bluetooth connection

My new 6350 was easy to connect with my Motorola H790 bluetooth headset. However, if I talk for more than about a minute, it drops the connection. When I try to reconnect, the phone cannot find the device. The only way that I can get it to reconnect is to delete the device and start all over. If I have a long drive, this could take place several times, such that it is probably a lot safer for me to just hold the phone in my hand.
Does anyone have advice for this situation?

I have the same problem with a Chrysler 30C UConnect system. The 6350 intermittently drops connectivity. AT&T replaced the 6350 with a new one, but it also drops connectivity. Chrysler checked and I have the latest updates for the UConnect. My old Motorola mobile phone never dropped connectivity so the Nokia 6350 has a serious issue. At this point my only option is to junk the 6350 and purchase a different brand of mobile phone, an expensive option, but I need a mobile phone with reliable connectivity.

Anyone having dropped bluetooth connections?

iphone constantly drops my plantronics bluetooth connection @ random

Good Afternoon remaxman,
I would be concerned too, if my handset was losing the connection with my bluetooth headset. What specific make and model headset do you have? I recommend testing the iPhone 4 with an alternate bluetooth device to determine if it may be an issue with the headset and not the phone itself.
Additionally, you could unpair your bluetooth headset and turn your bluetooth feature off and then reconnect it to see if it will make the connection more consistent. I have attached a link below for your reference.

I hope this information is helpful.

HTC Incredible dropping Bluetooth connections with 2012 Honda CRV

I have issues connecting an HTC Incredible 4G to a 2012 Honda CRV. The text message display / read back while in motion feature worked until last night. Now the vehicle displays "updating" and cannot display or read back text messages. The second issue is the phone book display on the Honda only shows some entries and not all that are in the phone. All show in Backup Assistant Plus. I am not happy with this situation and VZW phone tech support is stumped too!

DROID RAZR M keeps dropping Bluetooth Connection

Just got a new DROID RAZR M this weekend. It will pair successfully with our 2012 HONDA CRV using bluetooth. However, it few minutes later it will disconnect, then reconnect again, then disconnect again a few minutes later, then reconnect etc.... Never had this problem with the LG phone that it replaced.
Has anyone else had this issue?

yes I have had this same problem with my Razr M & Tiguan since I got the phone back in Sept. I have called about it, Volkswagen has replaced the bluetooth module for me.. nothing. I never had this problem with my Droid2 either. There's other android/razr/droid forums too where people having the same problem wit this model phone, and different cars. The latest Jelly Bean update didn't fix it. Check it out. Good luck, and let me know if you figure anything out..

Jaybird headphones and Macbook Pro Retina bluetooth connectivity issues

I recently purchased the Jaybird Bluebuds X Premium headphones and for awhile it would connect to my new Macbook Pro Retina 15'' via bluetooth, but now it doesn't anymore. The headphones connect just fine to my phone (iPhone 4S), and other Macbook Pros (not retina), but they do not connect to other Macbook Pro Retinas. I was wondering if this was a connectivity issue with Macbook Pro Retinas and if so how can I get around it to connect the headphones again?
Thanks

Hey there LongHorn16,
It sounds like your Bluetooth headphones aren't working with this one computer, but there is no issue with other devices that you have. I would start with these 2 steps from the following article:
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart of your Mac is all it takes to get things running smoothly again. You may also want to try resetting your computer's PRAM and NVRAM.
Reset your Bluetooth device
Try turning your device off and then on again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, see if you can reset your device—refer to the documentation that came with your device for instructions.

If it still doesn't work, then I would next use this article to remove the device:
Bluetooth: How to Delete a Paired Device
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27116
Then restart your computer and pair it again:

IPhone 4 / iOS 6 drops bluetooth connection when I answer a call using handsfree link in car.

Honda Crosstour 2010. Handsfreelink and phone pair ok but when I go to answer a call via the talk button on the steering wheel, the connection drops and I have to use my phone to talk, rendering auto bluetooth useless. I have to manually reconnect the two to get car and phone bluetooth working again. Honda and Verizon both point to Apple as the problem...

Follow basic troubleshooting found in your user Guide for your phone.

Mac Pro Drops Wireless Connection to Airport Extreme

I have a Mac Pro and every time I leave the machine for several hours when I return the Airport signal strength indicator is blank and I have to re-choose my network name to get back on the network.
As background, my Mac Pro is setup to never go to sleep as it is hosting some web sites, the only thing that sleeps is the display, so I don't think it is any kind of issue on wake from sleep . . . it just drops the signal at some point.
Has anyone ever heard of this kind of issue? It has always been this way and I just moved my Mac Pro to a location in my house where a wired connection is no longer feasible so I really want to try and resolve it... THANKS
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Slow connections, weak signal, dropped, lost signal after sleep...
While Apple has a good "troubleshooting networking" the Mac Pro using Wireless has had more of its own. I would pick up a Netgear router, go wired.

Apple MacBook Pro dropping wireless connection

Hi,
We have many MacBook pros that are having a hard time staying connected on wireless. Often times a user can be connected for only minutes at a time. Our wireless environment consists of 1142s and 3502 series access points. We use WPA2 Enterprise for authentication via ACS server 5.x.
The Windows 7 machines usually never have an issue. Can someone please provide some insight.?
