Dropping Calls when using Bluetooth

My Droid Bionic pairs fine with my Bluetooth, (Jabra Cruiser 2) it even streams the music through my radio just fine. I also use the car dock for my Bionic. However when I'm on a phone call after about 2 mins, the call just drops out. Happens every single time I'm on a phone call. Very annoying! Is this a problem with the Bluetooth software or is there a setting I can change? HELP!

Hi Sandy0380,
I use a Bluetooth device all day and I can understand how frustrating this issue can be. It sound more like a compatibility issue. Did you check with Bluetooth manufacturer to ensure full compatibility with your phone? While Bluetooth is a very comprehensive technology that allows wireless connection between 2 devices, some Bluetooth profiles may not be fully compatible.

HT1688 iOS7 and connecting calls when using Bluetooth device

After upgrading to iOS7, it takes a long time to connect a call when using Bluetooth in my car. Worse of all, when checking voicemail, the message does not come across the Bluetooth device even when audio device output is selected as Bluetooth device. Any solutions to this problem?

Hi, eklinck.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

How can I stop iPad from starting the music app after ending a phone call when using Bluetooth headphones?

music app automatically starts after using Bluetooth headphones during a phone call

If you don't have iTunes you will need to buy the song from the iTunes store and download it that way. If it is a custom track you may be out of luck. The only way to get a song on your device without iTunes involves jailbreaking it.
iOS is set up to prevent people from emailing each other songs, videos, movies, books, etc. This is how Apple got their contracts with the content providers by promising that they would do what ever it takes to prevent people from sharing content that they didn't pay for.

When using bluetooth, siri says she can't make a call.

when using bluetooth, i say "call XXX", and siri says "calling XXX", but then says, "i can't make that call". works fine when not on bluetooth.

I think I found the answer to my own question (no thanks to Verizon)!
I found this article online which was written recently (2012) and explains the WIFI - Bluetooth interference pretty well. Here is the link:
http://www.ecnmag.com/articles/2012/03/wi-fi-and-bluetooth-coexistence
The way it has been explained is that if the WIFI & BT radios are on the same chip and using the same antena to send and receive, they WILL interfere no matter what. Having them on two different chips is the best way. But Frequency Isolation (Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)) is a way to reduce interference when they are both on the same chip (as it is in Galaxy Note 2 & S3 - they have Broadcom BCM4330 for wifi/bluethooth/FM) which I guess needs to be addressed in a software update (or may be it already has and is not working well). The last solution is to use 5GHz band for WIFI.
There you have it. But please let me know what you think and if you have found out anything else.
Thanks

Error 80 when using bluetooth on car radio

error 80 when using bluetooth on pioneer car radio with my iphone 4 and 5

me too...did some digging on the internet and appears Error -80 means the car deck is expecting some bluetooth protocols that your iPhones wont give out. mine was intermittent for last couple years (deck is 12 years old) as of last night i just get error -80 everytime i try to dial out or recieve a call via bluetooth. this issue was intermittent with an iPhone 3G, 4, 4S, 5 and now my current 5S. im blaming Pioneer not Apple for this
I ended up buying a new deck for my car...gets installed tomorrow.

Siri sounds bad when using Bluetooth

Siri sounds bad when using Bluetooth, but the phone calls sound great.

Can a few of you help me with a test? I have a Jawbone 2 & a Jawbone Icon. Both exhibit a strange behavior with my iPhone 4. If either of these headsets are on, paired & connected AND a call is answered or initiated, things are fine.
When it all goes downhill is in this scenario:
My headset is OFF. I receive or make a call and mid-call, I decide to turn on the headset (which I keep off to save battery). The Jawbone connects and automatically switches the iPhone from PHONE to JAWBONE. This is all normal right? Okay here's the problem. The call quality has static, sounds muffled and the caller tells me I sound like I'm in a tin can. If I then switch back to the phone (through the iPhone page of Sources) and then back again, to the Jawbone, most times--quality is back to normal. Obviously this is not something we all want to be doing. Can anyone do this test with their headset .. any brand and even some of you with Icons? It would be good to know if the culprit is the Bluetooth Headset or the iPhone. Remember, it's important that you make a call with your Bluetooth headset in the OFF position and then turn it on mid-call to use it.

Why can I only make calls when using speakrphone?

I can only make phone calls when using the speaker phone or headphones. The receiver can hear me although I can not hear them. I have only had the phone since Sat, have checked volume levels and tried adjusting during a phone call too.

Try making a call and turning the volume up using the buttons on the side of the phone. If that doesn't work, your iPhone is faulty. Take it to the nearest apple store or back where you bought it!

Incoming calls not using Bluetooth / Music tracks repeating

I've been having a problematic issue with Bluetooth since upgrading to iOS 7. I have my iPhone 5 paired with my 2013 Hyundai Elantra's Bluetooth system.
Outbound calls use Bluetooth just fine, as does Siri, but any incoming calls all use my iPhone's headset by default. I have to manually switch the phone's output back to my car's bluetooth in order to talk using my car's hands-free system... which really defeats the purpose of hands-free.
I'll note that this is happening both when my iPhone is plugged in via USB and listening to music on the car's stereo, as well as when the iPhone is simply idle in my pocket. I have not tested what happens when the car is playing my iPhone's music via Bluetooth (the audio quality is sub-par to a direct connection and doesn't display the artist/track/album on the console when playing via Bluetooth - ergo I rarely use it)
Secondly, I am having another issue, this time with playing music. I don't believe it's related to the above Bluetooth issue, but it may be related to my car.
Like I said above, I often use my Elanta's USB port to directly plug in my iPhone so I can a) listen to music on the car's stereo and b) skip tracks with the wheel-mounted controls. This all worked flawlessly with iOS 6.
Now, if I skip a track with my car's controls, the Music app will repeat that next track... over and over. When the song is completed, it will attempt to move on to the next song, then immediately backtrack and start playing the previous song again (you can tell so by watching the Music app. The album art will swipe over, then quickly swipe back). I have to manually skip forward to play a new song... Highly irritating.
I'll also note that skipping songs via the wheel-mounted controls is considerably slower than it was with iOS 6. It's definitely a couple seconds after I press a button before the next song starts to play. It used to be near-immediate.
Anyone else having either of these issues? Hopefully it's something Apple picks up on and fixes soon!

Don't know if you got this yet, but I came here looking for answer. Since I just found one, figured I'd pass it on for others:
You have to set your phone's incoming calls to "headset" under accessibility. (Silly, I know, considering, if you hook up a bluetooth, it should automatically default there, but no ...) This walks you through:

Z10 not disconnecting phone call while using bluetooth

Just upgraded to 10.2.0.424 and now when I make a call using bluetooth in the car, I cannot disconnect the call using the bluetooth function. I have to search for my phone and disconnect directly. Any ideas for me? I don't want to get a ticket using my hand held phone while driving.

found this from bluetooth.org site but cant get a more direct link to it other than the one from a google search..
It leads to a pdf dl (sorry I couldnt be more accurate with my url than this)
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CFAQFjAE&ur l=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bluetooth.org%2Fdocman%2Fhandlers%2FDownloadDoc.ashx%3Fdoc_i d%3D8701&ei=vaHyUozcOeTgyQHs8YCICQ&usg=AFQjCNE84jPk5kiv1FJ13AOV46o06hRJQA&sig2=e Qftb8HYBI-zk-EkvBZjYw
but this clearly represents what I am looking for in a BT speaker device.
So why isnt it so obvious to us when we are purchasing products that say they are BT speakers I wonder.
Do a web search for BT speaker with headphone profile and let me know if any that actually says it has it comes up.
Infact, only headsets say they have it and that just doesnt make any sense to me what so ever.

Callers say my voice sounds muffled when using bluetooth.

I have a motorola bluetooth h710/h715 and as soon as I got the iphone 4, everyone is telling my I sound muffled when using it, compared to my 3gs. Anyone else have this issue?

Can a few of you help me with a test? I have a Jawbone 2 & a Jawbone Icon. Both exhibit a strange behavior with my iPhone 4. If either of these headsets are on, paired & connected AND a call is answered or initiated, things are fine.

E61 can't hear phone ring when using bluetooth hea...

When my bluetooth headset is connected, I can only hear sounds via my headset. I would like to hear my phone ring via the speaker of the phone (so I don't have to keep my headset on all the time). How can I make this happen?
Thanks.

Is the Bluetooth selected in the audio settings when you are on the phone? If you can hear the caller in the vehicle, then it is pairing. I would check with the vehicle manufacturer, or the local dealer to see if there is a problem with the microphone in the car, since that seems to be the issue. You can also check to make sure the phone is not on mute when using the Bluetooth. Check the phone when on a call.

Network Extender Dropping Calls when handing off to Outdoor Network

If I stand right next to my network extender, it works great. the moment I move outside a 15 ft ring, I begin to drop calls. i believe it is because my Blackberry is now getting a stronger signal from the outdoor network and I should be handing off to outdoor network. Instead of the call continuing, it drops. Also, the same thing happens when I am on a call inside my house, get into my car and drive away; I drop the call. I have called VZW Tech support and was told to power down the unit, yadda, yadda, yadda and call back if I still have the problem. Well, I still have the problem, so I am posting this in the hope someone has seen this and it saves me the hour long support call that doesn't resolve my issue...

I have the exact same problem with a Verizon/Samsung network extender that started dropping calls after about 30 seconds into a conversation. This problem started at almost the exact same time as those reported on this forum. Verizon has not once mentioned that it may be a problem on their end and we quit using the extender almost a year ago. However, with new smart phones in the household and multiple reception problems, we need to find a solution. I think Verizon owes its customers/supporters a solution since it sold the extender devices to the consumers at substantial expense. I for one, would like to either get my money back along with the time spent trying to rectify the problem, or get a solution that will allow us to carry on conversations in our home. It is ridiculous with the amount of money spent on monthly Verizon Phone bills, that we get such poor service - simply ridiculous!

Repeated dropped calls while using speakerphone.

I'm having problems that whenever I'm using my speakerphone, and my phone shifts position ever so slightly (no, the screen does NOT get bumped) that my calls often get dropped. At one point I thought it was just between myself and another smartphone user and had them restart their phone and we tried the call again. The calls continued to drop off so long as I was using the speakerphone, but would be fine if speakerphone was turned off. I was frustrated to find out that it was not just with other smartphone users, but with standard cell phone users as well that this issue was continuing to happen.
Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions as to what might be causing it and what I might do to solve the problem?
Thanks! =0)

Thanks for posting itisme1!
I can imagine how frustrating it is dropping calls. This is something different, however, I am confident we can get this resolved together.
When did the problems with the dropped calls start? Did you notice the problem after downloading any particular applications? Do you use any type of case, cover, glove or screen protectors on your device? If so, have you tried the calls, using speakerphone, with the accessories off of the device? Have you tried soft resetting your device by powering it off, removing the battery and reinserting? If you have completed all of these steps, I would like you to try master resetting your device. This will remove any corrupted files or faulty applications, and allow the device to start afresh. Please ensure your device data is backed up prior to performing the reset.
Please let me know how that works out for you.
