HT201394 Bluetooth connections dead in iOS 8.0.2

Running iOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 6 and ever since upgrading my Bluetooth connections have gone to crap. Connects in car, but when phone rings, Bluetooth disconnects. Same with playing music to my Bose Soundlink Mini.
How can I roll back to 8.0 until this is resolved. I can not be without connectivity in my vehicle.

Bluetooth connectivity problems after iOS 5 install

Like may others who upgraded to ios 5 and found it was full of problems I to had issue with my handsfree in the car.
I have a Clarion unit and it worked fine although I could not download contacts and it would not list tracks playing from the phone however it did receive,make calls and do what handsfree is meant to.
I downloaded ios5 yesterday and like thousands of other people I found that although the Clarion unit connects with the iphone as soon as a call comes in or you try to make an outgoing call it would lose the bluetooth connection and revert to the call being continued on the iphone.
Having tried many different things to fix it I eventually pressed the on/off button together with the large button with the square on it until the Apple icon appears on the screen and the phone switches off and reboots. When you press the buttons first it will ask if you want to switch off, keep pressing the buttons until the icon appears and the phone switches off properly and reboots.
I went out to try it and so far so good it seems to work, hopefully this will resolve the issues.
Another problem I had was my iphone seemed to thinl I had headphones plugged into it and although you could make a call and the receiving end could hear you, you couldnt hear them.
A visit to the Apple store 35 miles away and 3 technicians, several reboots, a complete wipe and reinstall and taking the phone away to "have a proper look" and nothing!
The best they could do is give me a new iphone at nearly £200. I declined.
Later that evening my son was playing with the phone and took a picture and guess what? It no longer thought that headphones were connected!
It would seem Apple has slighlty lost its way in making easy to use performance systems. When issues arise in updates it has produced, Apple completely ignores them and lets down thousands of loyal customers resulting in their integrity being severely damaged.
Its not all about flooding the market with Apple products, its about selling to new and retaining existing customers so they reinvest again. If they continue to ignore problems and what customers are complaining about then how long does it take until people grow tired of Apple technology that doesnt work and buy elsewhere?

I have noticed the same thing! Any suggestions??? I also notice that when I uncheck the boxes for not including music videos and voice memos the size of the music folder increases, and it does it so much so that I exceed the space on my phone.

Bluetooth Connectivity Problem with IOS 8

When I pair my iPad Air with a Bluetooth device, the sound on that device comes through at a low volume and you cannot increase the sound volume. I never had this problem before I downloaded to IOS 8. I called Apple Support last night and spoke with a supervisor but the problem could not be resolved.

I have a similar fault with my Lexus ct200h fsport, updated to ios 8.1.1 on my iphone4s 64, and the bluetooth sometimes disconnects during calls then re-connects again (by this time the person on the end has hung up) .but bluetooth audio works fine. very frustrating!!

Bluetooth connection issues after update

Is anyone experiencing bluetooth connection issues after upgrading to iOS 8.1.3? I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 and now it won't connect to my car bluetooth and my bluetooth speaker will sound like it has static from time to time.

Bluetooth connection fails iOS 8.1

My iPhone5s cannot make a Bluetooth connectivity with any of my Macs(MBA mid-2013, iMac late-2012, MacPro) all running Yosemite 10.10. Prior to upgrading to Yosemite the same iPhone running on iOS 7 did make successful bluetooth connectivity. My iPhone5s is on 8.1. Surprising even though it cannot have connectivity, it sees and stay connected for a second or two and then will say "Not Connected". But the same phone connects with Blueant S4 handsfree Speakerphone - except that I have to make a connection each time. In the past, it used to connect automatically when I was in the range of my device.
Yes, I have tried reset PRAM, SMC resets on my Macs, powered OFF and ON my iPhone5s and even reset my NW connection. In addition, I have other iPhones in my family and none can make connection to Macs which run on Yosemite(tried 4s, 5 and even 6). But the same iPhones make successful BT on Macs running Mavericks and Mountain Lion(yes one MBP still exists). So I am guessing it is changes in Yosemite that is causing the problem. Because I am going through this problem - my family members who have Macs do not want to upgrade to Yosemite as they depend on BT connectivity for their external devices. I don't blame them, but sounds very silly to me that Apple messed up big time with BT connectivity. I see many reporting similar issues, but for many resetting PRAM and/or SMC they have been successful.
Any help would be appreciated. Again I am not referring to Handoff (which it is working for me) but I am interested in BT connectivity with Yosemite. This is important because external BT devices need to be connected(Headphones, Earbuds etc).

I went to the Apple store yesterday because I was having the same issue in my Honda Accord after I updated to iOS 8.1.1. The very helpful rep there suggested that I go to Settings -> General -> Reset on my phone to reset my iPhone 5 General Settings. She said that it's like an oil change for the phone that cleans out a lot of the junk. After doing this, I was able to stream both my music and Pandora in my car again.
Note: When you reset the General Settings, you will lose your phone password and background image (not a big deal). You will NOT lose your pictures, video or emails.
Hope that helps!

Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all. You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

I am having issues with my iphone6 bluetooth connection in my car. When going to settings under bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices. I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2. Do you know if there has been any resolution yet?

I have installed the new iOS 5 on my Iphone 3GS and my bluetooth connection for my Philips bluetooth headset doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have a solution?
I have checked the headset on another Iphone with iOS 4 and it works well.
Thanks for your help!

Bonjour Pierre,
there seems to be a bug in iOS5 with regards to Bluetooth. THere are a lot of threads in here on this. We're all waiting for Apple to fix this...

After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

After Install IOS 8 and 8.0.2, the Ipad audio was distorted, and the bluetooth connection to audio speaker have wheezing.

I ALSO just updated my brand new iphone 6 to 8.0.2, and I ALSO had my cellular service BRICKED.
All I get on the signal meter is Verizon 1x. Every so often 3G would popup and you could send a text (no calls though) but it's gone in seconds. So I can't send texts or make phone calls.
This phone worked immediately before the update and stopped working immediately after the update.
My neighbor has a iphone 5S. He updated to 8.0.2 lat week and had no problems UNTIL just this morning, when his phone stopped working - no cellular voice or data. He downgraded back to ios 8.0 but his cellular service never came back.
Called verizon - was told there were no service outages and then I got transferred to tech team.
Tech team had do all the Apple troubleshooting steps but nothing more. So they said "take it back."
So this BRAND NEW iPhone 6 phone is BRICKED because of iOS 8.0.2.
Thanks Apple!

IOS 8.1.2 car bluetooth connection

I have lost the Bluetooth connectivity in my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe since I updated my phone to iOS 8.1.2. I have tried to reset car Bluetooth features as well as on my phone. Nothing seems to work. Is anyone else having issues and are there any solutions?

Similar to VroomVroom: I have iphone 5s, was on iOS7, went to iOS 8.1.2, and I didn't notice that I had lost a specific bluetooth connection: Garmin Smartlink - Live Traffic App. The Garmin Smartlink uses bluetooth to connect to the aftermarket Kenwood DNX891HD I have in my car, this comes with a Navigation GPS included. The Garmin Smartlink app (Live Traffic) provides immediate traffic updates if your city is covered, and my city Cincinati OH is covered. This was all working fine before I upgraded the iOS on the iphone 5S. I read another article related to "carkit" connections between iphones and car stereos (for both NAV and also hands-free) - here is the key point and my theory: Only ONE bluetooth connection can be supported at a time. In my case - the hands-free telephone (thru car microphone and car stereo speakers) works fine, and I believe this is also "shared" by Pandora App (from iphone to Kenwood). So, my theory is the iphone will not connect to the Kenwood for the Nav, since it is already connected to the Kenwood for the audio (Pandora and hands-free, I think these two "share" the same bluetooth connection, and I think the Smartlink connection is separate). I messed around this morning in the parking lot at work, and my attempts to "forget" and "pair" the iphone and Kenwood would continously start playing Pandora, but the Smartlink still will not connect (when it dis work, I would see a green circle with two cars on my Nav map screen, indicating the smartlink connection and also status of the traffic). My next test this afternoon will be to delete Pandora app on the phone, try forget / pair again and see if I can get Smartlink to work. If this works, I'll reinstall Pandora App and try to get it back as well. My past 24 hours of skimming articles (don't ya love the internet !) seems to indicate that I am not the only person with bluetooth problems due to the iOS 8.1.2 update....hey Apple...where's 8.1.3 to fix this ?

Bluetooth connection ipad ios 8.1 with imac os x 10.6

I have an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 snow leopard and an iPad that I have just upgraded to iOS 8.1.
Previously I have been able to sync the 2 through bluetooth with iTunes (the computer does not support iCloud). Since upgrading my iPad this month the bluetooth connection no longer works.
My ipad gives me the message that my iMac 'is not supported'.
Can anyone help?

IOS 8.1 and Yosemite are apparently all about the cloud ...
You may find some help by going to the web page ASK.Com and keying in the following query

It brings up some articles and other support sites the mention issues with Blue Tooth (you may want to change Yosemite to IOS 8 and see what happens.
(I don't care for google etc. Ask.com always brings up a better set of sites.)

Anyone else still having iOS 8.1 Bluetooth Connection issues.

Hi there just wanted to see if anyone is still having the Vehicle "Hands Free" Connection issues via Bluetooth on the iPhone 6? I drive a 2009 Acura TL and I am still having the connection issue. Oddly enough before the 8.1 update I was running 8.0.2 and it worked fine. Now when I get in my car and the phone connects it cripples the entire system. It won't allow me to change to the USB mode for my connected iPod and when I try to place a call via the "Hands Free" system it beeps as if it is activating and then does nothing.
I have tried everything that I can think of with no results. I was hoping there was someone out there with the same car or similar having the same problem that might have found a fix. Chime in and let me know.

I am having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity but not with a car. I use a Planatronics Legend. Everytime that a call comes in, my Legend announces the call then immediately disconnects from my iPhone. All of this started after upgrading to ios 8.1.
Apple should not advertise fixes to problems without truly confirming the repairs.
