Hands-free Issue

On my old BB Bold, when i wanted to make a call via my hands-free device in my car, and the person i was calling had multiple phone numbers, the device would ask if i wanted "mobile 1" or "work" for instance; on my new BB Classic, the device recites all the locations and phone numbers in that person's contact, and then asks me to repeat the number I want, including the area code. This is clumsy, and difficult to do while driving. Any suggestions beyond only keeping one phone number per contact, which defeats the purpose of a contact list?

TS5183 Bluetooth hands free issues after downloading ios7

After downloading ios7 on my iPhone 4s, I the audio features on my iPhone are muted when connected to the Bluetooth handsfree link in my 2012 Acura 2012. Text notifications, map navigation prompts and music are all muted. Phone calls can be recieved via the Bluetooth. These features worked previously. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Problems with 2011 Kia Forte hands free following upgrade to ios 7.1

I have had nothing but problems with the Bluetooth hands free feature in my 2011 Kia Forte ever since I upgraded to IOS7.1. I have removed and repaired the device to no avail. I have discovered the following behavior through the troubleshooting I have done so far:
If I use hands free to dial, the phone will dial but nothing is heard on either end of the call. If I switch the audio feed from the car to iPhone, both parties can then talk, but as soon as I switch it back to the car there is silence on both ends. I have determined that streaming Bluetooth audio still works in my car in spite of the hands free issues. I can switch audio back and forth during the entirety of the call and as long as audio is set to either iPhone or speaker it works, it just won't work when the car is selected.
I have checked and there is no new firmware available from Kia for my vehicle's Bluetooth.
Any thoughts?

Same problem for me after the update. No matter what movie I try to download, it stalls halfway. Interestingly, could be a wider iTunes issue as I ended up with the same problem trying to download movies to my MacBook Air.

Bluetooth: Volume Issue (Palm Pixi, Hands Free Link Bluetooth)

Make/Model: Acura TL
Year: 2008
Carkit Model info (Manufacturer, firmware version, etc):
Details of problem: Call volume is so quiet you can't hear anything on bluetooth HFL (Hands Free Link)
webOS version:.4.5
Included in compatibility list:
Yesterday morning the built-in bluetooth on my car was working fine, then at lunch when I tried to use it it was impossible to hear the call. I checked the phone and the volume is turned up all the way, and the bluetooth HFL is working fine with my husband's phone, so the issue has to be with my Palm Pixi. I can hear the HFL commands and prompts without issue at a normal volume level (8-10) but to hear even a whisper of a conversation or even a ringtone I have to turn the volume up to about 40.
I've tried to search on my Pixi to see if there are any settings I can adjust or update, but haven't been able to find anything.
Anyone have suggestions about how to correct/address this issue?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

You have to go through the entire pairing process or can you just turn off Bluetooth and then turn it back on again, or go into the phone and select the car and they connect? If you are having to go through the pairing process again, it could be a problem with the vehicle. The iPhone uses the latest Bluetooth stack and it may be a problem with pairing with the vehicle system. Try contacting Honda/Acura and see if there are any firmware updates for the systems in the vehicle.

IOS 8.1.1 - Issues with hands free (Parrot MKi9100)

Dear Community...
I have updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1.1. Exactly since that day I am experiencing an issue with my in-car hands free kit (Parrot MKi9100):
Normally, while the iPhone and the hands free kit are connected, whenever the iPhone makes a sound (be it phone-calls, music, notifications or the text-to-speech function), the hands free kit jumps in, muting my car radio and playing the iPhone-Sound over the car speakers.
On iOS 8.0, that would only function with phone-calls, any other sound was not transferred to the hands free kit.
On iOS 8.1, the issue was fixed, and everything worked fine.
On iOS 8.1.1 the following happens: Whenever I wake my iPhone (i.e. pressing home-button or sleep-wake button, even without unlocking the phone) the hands free kit jumps in and mutes the radio... although the iPhone is not about to make a sound... This also happens, when the iPhone is switched to silent mode. Whenever the iPhone-Display is switched on, this will mute my car radio, as if the hands free kit was awaiting a sound from the iPhone.
This makes it impossible to enjoy the car radio and using the phone (of course only the passenger will use the phone, while I'm driving... I am a responsible driver...)
But nonetheless: Is there any known fix?
@apple: If not, will this be fixed with 8.1.2?
Thanks and best regards

IPhone 4: Bluetooth Issues - Hands Free Phone in vehicle

All,
This is my first Apple post. I usually go out and Google and find/figure things out on my own, but I am stumped!
I recently upgraded my wife to an iPhone 4 16gb Black from an iPhone 3GS 8gb. With the 3GS, we were able to pair the phone with our 2011 Toyota Highlander with bluetooth capability, giving me nearly 9 month pregnant wife the ability to stream audio to her stereo, but more importantly she was able to make/receive calls in her car using the hands free.
We were able to go through the setup like we did with the 3GS to pair it. It pairs up just fine. However, the only thing that works is the audio streaming. She cannot access the phone for calling/receiving calls with the vehicle. When a call comes in, I remember the 3GS having a bluetooth headset option that showed up, but as long as the bluetooth was on in the car, the stereo would automatically pick up the call and she could talk to the car and hear the call through the speakers.
I have read that the iPhone 4 had bluetooth issues with older IOS versions, but she is on 4.3.3 currently. Again, audio streaming her music works, just not the phone. What gives?

Hey Shane!
You could always try going to Toyota and see if there is a firmware upgrade available for your car. Even though your car is new, there are always firmware releases available.
New Phones don't always work with older firmwares in new Car Stereos. With Technology changing everyday you want to make sure your always update on all devices involded.

my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

HELP !!! hands free paring bb bluetooth with car stereo 2011 kia sorento

I was able to pair my bb 8530 curve with my kia sorento 2011 car stereo via Bluetooth, but once I leave the car, and come back the connections always fail.
I do have my Bluetooth "discoverable"
on my option settings I have only check mark "hands free", "audio source" & "A/v source"

this are the instructioin I used to fixed it. In Bluetooth Options unchecked all items on the Services list except Handsfree. The then deleted the Kia from the BB and the BB from the Kia. I then paired again, in options on the BB I changed Discoverable to "No" and then on BB in Sorento Device Properties change Encryption to "Disabled". This has worked almost 2 weeks now with no new issues.

Having trouble using my 9720 connecting to car hands free kit

Hi, i am utterly frustrated with my company blackberry 9720 phone. The trouble i am having is with the car hands free kit, my skoda superb uses the bluetooth premium and cannot use the normal hands free setting like with my Iphone. The problem i am having is firstly connecting, i can only use the bluetooth premuim, which completly changes all the setting on the phone i.e turns the network off on the phone and then a screen pops up saying running SAP mode (must use an ittenna in car?), which in turn stops emails from coming in, i can stupidly write texts messages on my dash board and receive them and read them on my dash board while driving. So when i remove the keys from the ignition the phone does not put the phone back to its normal working settings, it keeps the network switched off i have to go to settings and turn the network on. Thirdly when i turn the car on the phone will not connect automatically it says cannot connect to mobile, but if i switch the phone off and on it automatically connects, but if by the grace of god it does connect an second time the phone crashes and resets and then connects five minutes later after reseting. forthly this is not an phone issue it is definatly software as i have been given an second 9720 and the fault is present on both phones.
can anyone help

as I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

I phone compatibility with hands free car systems

I purchased an I phone which replaced a Palm Treo 650 (verizon). It worked perfectly.When I am using my in car hands free system, the I phone Tries to work but the voices break up,especially at he beginning. When I am speaking I phone to I phone it is almost impossible to understand the conversation. I phone to land line is better.
I phone to I phone not thru the handsfree is perfect.There seems to be a compatibility problem. My device is bluetooth.

There are several threads on this subject that you can use the search function for... I suggest you make sure to mention what in-car system you are using (car make and model), since this is about the most important piece of information. Also, you might try the forums at edmunds.com that have lots of related threads organized by auto make and model. For me, my Treo 700p worked, but had some issues, with my '07 Toyota/Lexus system. The iPhone works perfectly.

Muffled speaker for hands free and music

I'm having problems with my iPhone 4S speakers. Music sounds muffled and my hands free function can't be heard. Callers complain they can't hear me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes the iPhone4 is listed for my model as equiped. It does not have all the functionality such as uploading contacts but the hands free should work. My Subaru service depart verified there was no software update listed for my navigation system for using the iPhone4. A quick google of iPhone and bluetooth returns a significant number of message threads. That includes a thread on the Apple forums that is now up to 44 pages. It is not an isolated issue with just Subaru.
I made an appointment at an Apple store today and after describing the problem they replaced the phone a second time. So far during one phone call there were no issues. I have yet to restore a backup so I don't have any contacts or applications on it yet. I will try it for about a while to see if the problem occurs again. If there are no issues I might try loading stuff back on it progressively to determine if it might be a software issue. I shouldn't be dealing with this mess. It is a serious pain in the *** and I have better things to do with my time. If I knew before hand I have this kind of problem I wouldn't be using a mobile phone with an apple on it.

Hi Guys does anyone know of a way i can get cyclops speed camera alert to work through bluetooth incar hands free kit , i used to be able to connect it via an app called drivesafely but this app is no longer available in apple store ????????????

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.
