IOS 5 Bluetooth Bug?

Since upgrading to iOS5 on my 3gs, I have had problems with bluetooth. When the phone is powered on, none of my previous bluetooth devices show up on the phone, and will not automatically link with the devices. If, in the settings menu, I turn bluetooth off and then on again, all of the devices show up and they link normally. Quite annoying, especially for the bluetooth in my car. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or is this a bug in the new OS

Hi Brian,
I have the exact same problem.
No bluetooth detection at all, between my iPad, my iPhone 3GS, my iPhone 4S, and all other bluetooth devices !!!!
Apple do something quickly to fix that please, any other people can confirm this major bug ??

IOS 8.3 bluetooth bug...ugh!!!

So, Apple has done it again with iOS 8.3. I am an aircraft pilot. EVERYTHING I do is on my iPad. I just recently updated to iOS 8.3. Well, I went to take a flight yesterday, and my bluetooth GPS antenna would not connect. (yes, I have paper charts...but it's no fun trying to fly that way.) After 3 reboots, several forget device/connect to device...I got nowhere. Well, I didn't fly that day. However I managed to waste a lot of time going out to the airport, preflighting the airplane, and driving back home that day. I know this sounds like "new world problems". But aren't apple products supposed to "just work"?
Well, I got back home last night and found warnings posted all over every aviation webpage/blog/forum about this bug. It has been confirmed by several companies techies and they have ALL stated that this is an Apple error. Apple has also confirmed this.

I am now looking for solutions.... Some have downgraded their iPads back to 8.2. I really don't want to have to do this. But many people have blogged that the iOS 8.4 Beta does not fix the issue either. Thanks Apple....
I have all Apple products, and have been an ALL Apple consumer for the past 10 years. But this is unacceptable. Oh , by the way, all the pilots with Android devices are still flying without issue. I never thought I would EVER say this... But if this issue is not fixed VERY soon, I will be shopping for a new android device. I do NOT relish this thought, but every day with the iOS 8.3 bluetooth bug, is a day that I CAN'T FLY WITH GPS!!!!
I am sure other venues besides aviation are affected by this.... Any other solutions or rumors from the community are greatly appreciated.
Frustrated pilot.

Bluetooth bug in OS 10.0.10.672 (software version 10.0.10.85)

Hi there,
It appears that the latest release of the software has introduced a nasty Bluetooth bug. Before this release my Z10 worked perfectly fine with my HandsFree Link in my 2006 Acura TL. However, since I installed the latest OS release 10.0.10.672 (software version 10.0.10.85) I can pair with the vehicle however any call in or out causes the Bluetooth connection to be instantaneously dropped. The device simply cannot manage a conversation. Please note that the device itself does not disconnect (it is still paired), but it cannot service any audio between the vehicle and the Z10. Restoring to an older release of the OS fixes this issue.
Is there any way to get this resolved at all?
Please advise.
Thanks!

When my wife returns with our 2008 Odyssey with HandsFree Link I'll give it a try. I know it was working before I upgraded, as well. I'll post back later this evening.

My britness on my iphone 5 was on 100 % and I turn my screen off and after ten min I turn it back on and the screen was on 0% while the britness line on settings was on 100% is it an IOS 6 bug or is my iphone borking???

I've seen that happen sometimes. For me, pressing the lock button to lock it, and then pressing the home button to get to the lock screen reverts it back. If that doesn't work, just move your brightness slider lower and then higher again.

Another iOS packager bug

Came across another bug in iOS packager. In my project I have a function looking like this:
private function sample():Object
var iValue:int = 10;
return false ? iValue : null;
It correctly returns 'null' if packaged in ipa-debug-interpreter, apk-captive-runtime modes or if running in ADL. But it returns '0' if packaged in ipa-ad-hoc mode. I had to spend a whole day to figure out where is the problem. This is not the first type cast issue I came across. And it takes a lot of effort everytime to debug (10 minutes to build the project!). I'm breaking a dead line giving my customer an excuse that 'Adobe packager for iOS does not work right'. Which sounds like total BS of course. Adobe, please, get this straight. It is hard enough to develop with AIR for mobile. Bugs like this one make it much worse. Either way, I'm planning to advocate for using native tools in our next projects.

I'm still using AIR 3.2. Unfortunately, I don't have a chance to try latest AIR 3.4 at the moment. But I will check the same code when I update AIR SDK.
The code I posted is not a real code of course. I had to strip some logic and modify operators a bit. But I had hoped the bug would still reproduce. From my experience, most of the iOS packager bugs are caused by the rules of type casting that are not AS3 compliant. I have an impression that type casting rules used in the packager are more like classic C type casting rules. As the result, same code executes differently on iOS and Android|Windows. And it has being a huge problem for me.

Possibly one of the biggest iPhone 5 or iOS 6 bugs - Misuse of Data

My iPhone 5 keeps sending and receiving data when an iCloud account is configured on the device. It never stops to receive and send data; therefore, this is causing Verizon data overages. The cellular data counter in settings just keeps going up. This occurs when no apps are active. I am averaging about 2 to 3 kb of data a second being used, which adds up. Is this an iOS 6 bug?
Resetting the phone to factory defaults or uninstalling third party apps does not resolve the issue.

Just do the Verizon update - Settings > General > About then accept the update & reboot your phone. It should fix your problem

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

Any solution to the iOS 6 bug for auto lock function for the iPhone 4S

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

IPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug

iPhone apps not resuming after phone call - iOS 7 bug
With iOS 6, while playing music on Spotify or playing Candy Crush, etc, if the phone rang and I answered, or if I made a call, once the call was ended, the app I was using would resume. The music would start playing again or the game would resume.
In iOS 7 this isn't working. Listening to music, I answer a call, music stops and when call is ended, nothing! the phone stays on the phone app.
anybody else see this behaviour?
thanks!

Any ideas anyone?
thanks

Microsoft Fixes Critical Windows Bluetooth Bug in July Patch Tuesday

Microsoft has patched a critical vulnerability in Windows 7 and Windows Vista related to the Bluetooth stack in the operating system. The bug is the lone critical vulnerability fixed in today's Patch Tuesday release, and Microsoft officials said it's unlikely that it can be used for remote code execution.
The patch for MS11-053 fixes a vulnerability in the way that the Bluetooth stack operates on Windows machines. Despite the low likelihood of it being exploited, it's the most serious of the 22 vulnerabilities Microsoft fixed on Tuesday.

When you find a better explanation how to report a software bug others understand, love to hear from you. Because I am not aware of any public bug-tracker neither from Microsoft Mobile nor Microsoft, finding such a explanation is difficult on a Microsoft driven webpage.

Bluetooth not discoverable iOS 7 - bug or hardware problem?

Just got an iPhone 5c and Bluetooth is not discoverable at all. For example, in my car when searching for a device it does not find it. Likewise, if I seach for it on another iOS phone, it just doesn't exist.
I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 and that connects fine to the car with no problems at all. I'm thinking this could be a hardware problem, but just wanted to check if it's been reported as a bug by anyone else?

A bit more on this:
When Bluetooth was switched on, but Airdrop set to Contacts Only, the phone was discoverable by the car but did not work correctly - it connects via Bluetooth but the car display shows no signal and cannot make calls through in car audio.
With Bluetooth switched on but Airdrop set to Off, phone is no longer discoverable by the car
Frustatingly, I don't have access to both the phone and car to test the final scenario of Bluetooth on and Airdrop set to Everyone to confirm what I suspect will be the case.
If the final scenario does work, this has to be a pretty significant bug in the software, right?

List of iOS 6 bugs for iPhone 4s

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6, there have been some unfixed bugs and some new ones.
Where do we direct these bugs to? Is it to this forum? I just want to reach out to Apple so that these bugs can be looked at and be fixed. Lets all share our bugs in an orderly fashion so someone from the Apple's engineering department can have a look and study them.
1. Lock screen bug
Sometimes, when you try to swipe to unlock the slider goes right up to the middle and goes back to the start making you stuck there.
Same issue when you receive notifications in your lockscreen, you cant swipe all the way.
Temporary solution:
Press power/lock button once to turn of screen, and press it again to turn it back on. The slide to unlock slider can go all the way through.
2. Screen not turning off/dim
At some rare occasions the when at homescreen, the backlight doesnt dim nor does the phone locks itself. It remains active and drains your battery. This issue does not seem to persist in applications for me.
Temporary solution:
Lock manually, dont wait for it to autolock to prevent battery drain.
3. Battery drain?
I dont seem to experience any battery draining issues in my iPhone 4s. My usage is pretty random. Sometimes, I can be really active. Whereas sometimes, I can use very little. But nevertheless, the iPhone is able to last throughout the day (at least from morning till night) so I can make it in time to charge it for tomorrow's use.
However, I am the only one who is okay with it. And I noticed for me that my battery is able to last longer somehow. I have other friends using iPhone 4s also which experienced serious battery drains after updating.
Status of phone (Mine):
3G on
Bluetooth off
Never closed apps, only turned off navi apps such as Waze
10.3GB storage free
Vibration off, vibration on only on silent
Phone signal in 3G always in 4 - 5 bar
Result: Battery lasts at least a day
Status of phone (friend):
3G off, Edge on
Bluetooth off
Never closed apps, no navi apps were used
9.2GB storage free
Vibration off
Phone signal always in 5 bar
Result: Battery lasts half a day (Ever since iOS6 update)
What have I tried so far?
1. Restore from iTunes
2. Turning off autolock, and switching it back on
What have I not tried?
1. Clean restore : I am trying to avoid this because, my backup contains important info such as over 300 phone numbers. If only Apple allowed "selective restore". I just cant loose those phone numbers.
As you can see, comparing two iPhones with almost similar parameters showed inconsistent results. Even when the phone has sufficient signal the battery drain is inconsistent.
Thats all for now. If anyone else wants to share their bugs, feel free to do so in this thread.

Thank you for responding,
The router I am using is a Linksys, we also tried disconnecting that one and connecting the netgear router we have. The security method is WEP I believe, although I could be wrong.
No one else is having issues with their WiFi, just me. All the laptops are connecting wirelessly, the 2 tablets we have are connecting perfectly fine and all cell phones are connecting.

VW Passat and iOS 7 bug

I have a 2013 VW Passat SEL with the integrated bluetooth and navigation system. With iOS 6, everything worked seamlessly. Since updating to iOS 7, the steering wheel controls no longer change tracks in iTunes and the main system screen no longer interfaces with the iPhone to change tracks or control music selections. The system shows the track name, but the "skip forward" buttons on the system screen or the steering wheel no longer operate the phone. This occurs via Bluetooth connectivity and connectivity through the hard-wire tether in the center console. Is this a bug and if so, is it up to VW or Apple to address it??

Can you please explain how you did the reset/restore? I am having the same issue.
Thx!

IOS4 - bluetooth bug.

Hi,
I have an iPhone3G and I have successfully installed OS4. All works fine except fro the bluetooth: Now the name printed the car display are random char string. This is certainty a bug of the new iOS4 ... all worked with OS 3.1.3 ...

I've had the same issue. iPhone 3GS previously worked flawlessly but would not maintain a bluetooth connection via the Ford Sync system after upgrading to 4.0. It could sometimes pair and connect and on one occasion I successfully spoke for about 5 seconds via bluetooth, but otherwise completely fails to be functional.
AppleInsider reports that an updated iOS is being developed (4.0.1) for release early next week that addresses several radio and signal issues in 4.0.

3 iOs 5 bugs no one seems to be talking about

I've noticed 3 bugs in iOs 5 that no one seems to be talking about.
1. Sometimes the setup personal hotspot toggle in settings will keep thinking even if you don't tap on it. I believe this contributes to the poor battery life. I've found the only way to stop this is to reboot with home & power buttons.
2. When playing a movie or music the fast forward/search toggle on top is unresponsive. It takes up to 5 times sometimes for it to pick up that my finger is on it, and by this time it's already skipped around so much that it's pointless.
3. This last one is more of an app compatibility issue. Google's search app times out and is useless now since opening Safari and using the search function in the corner works much faster.
APPLE PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES IN THE NEW iOS UPDATE

ddizzd,
You're not addressing Apple here, only other users just like yourself. You're just wasting your time and breath on this forum. You need to post here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

IOS 8 Bugs

Used to be a confident early adopter of Apple products. Guess I should've known better with how iOS 7 was rolled out. Well, where to start...
Mail app:
- Using All Inboxes of multiple accounts, try to delete multiple emails at once and get error that items could not be deleted. Sure enough, they aren't
- Sometimes refreshing the inbox goes wonky. Blank spaces where messages should be, try to swipe to delete an email, and the touch is off, is swiping the email below it. Have to close the app and reopen it to get the touch lined up
- When swiping to delete an email from the inbox, after it's deleted Apple made the little red line kind of go across the display. Sure, looks pretty, but you can't do anything while that red lines there. Inbox won't scroll or anything. Yeah, it's quick, but in 7 I used to be able to quickly swipe and delete many emails all in a row. Now I have to wait for that red line to finish moving before I can do anything. Is it a big deal? Probably not, but just slows me down compared to how I used to work. Maybe it's not a bug, but thought I'd list it.
Pictures/Movies publish to You Tube
- When taking a video and publishing to you tube, if you select the movie straight from the camera app and try to publish it from there, the you tube publishing page doesn't know you're on wifi so it won't let you upload in HD. You have to cancel that and enter the movie from the photos app and publish it that way, then it will see you're on wifi and let you do HD.
I think these are all I've found so far, but it's a start. The mail app ones are the biggest pain, so I'm just wondering if I'm the only one seeing these.
Thanks for looking.

I had the same issue with my iPhone 5 the other day. I did a hard reset by holding the power and menu button until it restarted. But the problem still happened where it wasn't showing internet results from Bing. Then after 15 minutes, it started working. Also, when I was doing a search, it was a complicated search query and Bing wasn't working in Spotlight. So I tried a simple search like Guardians of the Galaxy and gave it some time and then the results started showing up. After that the complex searches and everything else started working. Hopefully yours works in time like mine did.
