IOS 8 Bluetooth issue Plantronics PLT_M20 headset

I Installed IOS 8 on my 4S IPhone. I noticed that I could not pick up a call nor could I end it using the connect button on the device. I am still able to touch longer to get Siri.. I know this is an IOS 8 Issue. i did forget the device and re-paired it but still Unable to pick up/hang up calls.

Have to ask the obvious first. Did you try deleting the pairing from the iPhone and pair the devices again? It has been a fairly common iOS upgrade issue that you need to delete and then pair your Bluetooth devices again AFTER upgrading.

Audi iOS 8 bluetooth issue

Prior to getting my new iPhone6 I upgraded my iPhone5 to iOS8 and started to notice issues making calls using the Audi MMI.
Basically the whenever the phone connects via bluetooth the MMI shows the last dialed number re-dialing and locks up.
Looking at the phone there is no call in progress.
Just got my iPhone 6 yesterday that same problem is present!
I DID see many posts about similar issues with other cars. Just wondering if there is a work around or if we need to wait for Apple to address this with each auto manufacturer?
I will tinker with this issue and post back here if I find any work around to solve the issue before either an update from Audi or Apple comes out.
Love the new iPhone aside from this issue.

See this post for a Fix that did NOT work in my specific case, however it may work for others.

Ios 8 Bluetooth Issue

I have an iPhone 5s and just updated to iOS 8. Once updated the phone will drop Bluetooth calls on my Ford Sync. This was previously working fine on the iOS 7. Any ideas?

A full reset fixed the problem for both my Alpine and Kenwood head units. I don't use Bluetooth to stream music so didn't test that at all. The complete reset was a pain (Name, WiFi, etc). In the cars I erased the phone from the radios first then turned on bluetooth on the phone and paired to the head units without any problems.
Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. Will require you to set up and confinure all your settings.

Bluetooth and Plantronics Legacy random disconnect issues

I've been using the latest MAXX with the latest Plantronics Legacy headset. Randomly, bluetooth will disconnect, the call will remain active but does not automatically failover to either handset or speaker option (literally the call is active and I'm in limbo). The only way to reengage with the caller is to press speaker, then to make matters worse, the phone will start cycling through headset, bluetooth, speaker etc. until the call ends! When I recycle the phone and bluetooth the problem goes away, then reappears randomly (days or a week later). Anyone having this issue? Any sense on it being related to the phone or bluetooth? I've installed the latest drivers for both and I'm now going to cycle the phone daily in the event it's a caching issue somewhen in between the OS's. Either way, Motorola or Plantronics need to make a better thing...

Hello DCJW,
Bluetooth headsets are a great way to communicate, especially while on the go. It will be my pleasure to assist with getting your Plantronics earpiece to work properly. First, may I ask is there any physical or liquid damage on the Bluetooth or the Droid Maxx? Also, what software and android version do you have installed on the Maxx? Can I assume that the Plantronics Bluetooth earpiece is the only Bluetooth device profile that’s connected to the Maxx? I would suggest unpairing the earpiece from the phone, then reboot the device, and re-pair the earpiece. Once you have done so then please retest an post your findings. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Thank you…

Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1

I am facing the Bluetooth issue in ios 7.1 iphone.In ios 7.0 it works fine without any problem.I am using the EA framework for reading/writing the data in my application.Still I have not got any correct solution for this scenario. I am having a doubt that this issue is happening as because of EA framework which I am using it or do i need to change any settings.Could someone tell me the solution for this problem?

1.I am using an external Bluetooth kit by which I will send the command through my iphone application.I will communicate with the external Kit through a command that writes and reads the data using External Accessory framework.In lower version except IOS 7.1 i was able to communicate properly without any issues.In EA framework implementing a delegate method I could able to write/read a data.
2) Right now I am facing an issue only in ios 7.1 where I was not able to read any data from the external Bluetooth Kit.I have researched regarding this issue in all the sites I got to know some information that because of EA framework issue in ios 7.1 where I am able to communicate.But still I have a confusion that its happening because of EA framework or any other ios issues.

IOS 8.1.2 bluetooth issue with Subarus

Apple... When are you going to fix this? I have been waiting months for a fix. As soon as I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS 8, the bluetooth connectivity with my 2011 Subaru Outback ceased to function. The many updates (now using iOS 8.1.2) have failed to fix the issue. This is a problem because I used the bluetooth system for my hands free phone use and I'm in my car for hours a day. Even the Subaru website now lists iOS 8 as incompatible with certain audio systems. The nice folks in your Apple Stores have been woefully incapable of addressing this issue except to tell me, after I stood my ground and argued that it was not Subaru's issue, that I get a new memory chip and use my old iPhone 4s, for which the iOS had not been updated to 8. This is a complete mess on Apple's part and I can't imagine that it would have occurred on Jobs' watch!

IOS 4.3 still did not fix the bluetooth issue

I am still unable to pair up my bluetooth stereo headphones with my iPhone 4. I originally had it paired up back when my iPhone 4 was running 4.0, but ever since iOS 4.2.1, I've been unable to pair up anything with my bluetooth. Does the Apple Corporation even look at these posts? Anybody else having bluetooth issues?

Actually, I would be very surprised to find out that Apple does not read these forums. A smart company would monitor discussion about their products, especially on a sight they sponsor, to gain insight on how to improve their product and or customer service. However, you should always file your complaint through the proper channels. I have had a few minor glitches between my iPhone 4 and my Jawbone Icon but things seem significantly better...so far. It just angers me that Apple has not admitted to any kind of bluetooth connectivity problem. This experience has completely tainted any kind of positive experiences from my iPhone 3G. I'm very likely to try a Droid or Blackberry when I upgrade again.

Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

Upgraded Ipad 3 to IOS 8 and Boston Acoustics Bluetooth speakers no longer work. The speakers pair with the Ipad, but connection drops when opening any app that attempts to use the bluetooth connection. Seems like the updated IOS blutooth driver is the problem. I tested with Iphone 4, Iphone 5, ipad 2 running IOS 7
and all work fine. Tested with Iphone 6 plus, Ipad 3, Ipad 2 using IOS 8 and none of the IOS 8 devices work... Also did the IOS 8 patch and did not fix this issue.
The Boston Acoustics Speakers supports Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR, A2DP v1.2
Seems like Apple can't get the wireless side right, IOS 6 had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth muting, that was corrected in IOS 7, now another wireless problem that makes these $350 speakers a boat anchor..... and not usable.
Perhaps they need to hire some RF / Wireless engineers and do a better job of regression testing... I am a wireless engineer and know that we never make hardware or software upgrades without extensive inter op testing and friendly user trials...

I have this same exact issue with my Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS Digital Cinema 2.1 system. Any other device can connect just fine including all of my previous iPhones and Android devices, but my new iPhone 6 will not keep the connection. Strange because the iPhone 6 will connect and work perfectly fine with my Plantronics Voyager Legend and my JBL Flip bluetooth. What happened guys, Mr. Jobs passed and you all forgot how to do proper QA? This type of foolishness is expected from Microsoft, not Apple.

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.

Bluetooth issues after last update, December 25th.

My Samsung S3 received an update on December 25th to build JSS15J.I535VRUCML1, version 4.3. Since it updated, I have been having numerous issues with Bluetooth. The first thing I immediately noticed is that my phone stopped auto pairing with my 2013 Ford Sync. I can still manually pair it by going into settings on my phone and tapping on "Sync". All of my other devices are acting in the same manner where they will not connect automatically anymore. This includes a Jawbone Era, a Jawbone Jambox, Plantronics headphones and a Plantronics Savi headset
Another issue I noticed on my Ford Sync, when I used to stream music via Bluetooth through my audio program, Subsonic, it would display the song and artist on my screen. Now it just says unknown song / unknown artist.
Also, My Fitbit stopped synching today. I started getting an error within the Fitbit program saying "There are known issues with Bluetooth 4.0 sync on your android device. Learn more"
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or can I just roll back to the previous version? Please help. This is really annoying

OK, I fixed mine, and thought I would post to everyone interested.
I have a Samsung GS3, and got the update 2 days ago. The update reset several things I didn't notice before, like I had to download and install swift key, and some other apps, but nevertheless, this is what I did.
On the GS3 Phone:
1) Settings > About Phone > Device Name and changed the name of my phone back to the name I like to use. This will show up on the car (Sync) as the BT device. My wife and I have the same phone and cannot tell the difference if they are both the same name. The update had changed it back to the default name.
2) Settings > Bluetooth , While the BT is turned on, click on the Sync setting icon on the right and pick Un-pair the sync device,
3) Turn off BT, and go under Settings > Application Manager. Scroll to the right until you get to "All". Scroll down til you see Bluetooth Share. Force stop, Clear cache and Clear Data.
4) Shut your phone down, and take the battery out.
On the Car: I have a Ford Escape 2014 with Sync.
Basically, you will have to do a factory reset, but on mine, it didn't hurt or lose anything.
1) Mine was under Settings > System > Factory Reset (May take 5 mins)
2) Put your phone battery back in and boot up your phone and turn on bluetooth
3) Once the Ford Sync has booted up, add the device and just follow the instructions on the screen and pair the phone back up. Your phone may prompt you for access to your contacts and to download your contacts. Be sure to click the don't show again and click OK
Mine works even better than before!! Text messages are coming in again, and the Bluetooth media stereo is working again too. Pandora is awesome over Bluetooth.
On the Ford Sync, the only thing I had to set back was the Voice command under settings (I like the advanced option so she does not repeat everything I say) , and under the phone settings for my GS3, I turn on 911, and I set the ring tone to text to speech. I like it to announce who is calling rather than the ringer. And that is it!
You might could get away with less steps, but this is what I did and it was minimal. Better than trying to factory rest your phone or something.
Good Luck!

Droid DNA Bluetooth Issues

I've tried a couple different BT headsets and have had similar issues with them all. the connections is choppy at best. i can't use any headset to make calls because of the connection and listening to music is tough because it keeps cutting out.
my phone says it's up to date. currently i'm using a Plantronics M55 headset that, from what i've read, doesn't have any connection issues.

Graggk, the following is is not an answer, but a potentially usefull debugging step: Turn off your WiFi (if you haven't already) and see if the connection improves. The reason, is that bluetooth shares the 2.4GHz unlicensed radio bands with WiFi -- so they're essentially sharing the spectrum and your WiFi transmitter interfere's with your BT receiver.
There's also a possibility that even if you DNA's WiFi is turned off, there's still so much radio traffic in the 2.4GHz band that you can't get a good BT connection. To check if this is the case, move away from any WiFi access point and see if the situation improves.
This is all to see if it's a radio thing or a software/driver/bt-compatibility issue.

Droid 3 Bluetooth Issues

I am on my second Droid 3, and both displayed the same Bluetooth Issues:
When attached to the cars bluetooth system (2010 Audi A6), all of a sudden, Bluetooth drops. The call is still active, and the bluetooth indicator on the keypad is still lit. In order to get the phone to reconnect to the car, I have to power it off and then on.
About one out of every 5 calls with Plantronics Voyager Pro headset, the volume will be very low, both inbound and outbound. I noticed when that happens, sound is also coming out of the Droid 3 speaker and the Headset at the same time and it seems as if both microphones are working (People can hear me better if I speak into the phone - while my headset is active!).
Sometimes disconnecting bluetooth and reconnecting it (via the dial keypad) cures the issue, other times I have to POPO (power off, power on) the phone.
To make sure it was not my car or my headset, I reactivated my old phone, HTC Touch Pro 2 and never had an issue in 3 days of solid use.
I need bluetooth to work reliably. I called Verizon Tech Support and beyond swapping out the phone, not much help.
I double checked all of my settings in my car and in the Droid 3's BT menu, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I thought I was leaving reliability issues behind when I got a Droid (instead of windows in HTC Touch Pro 2)
Thanks in advance.

Hello again. Haven't had time to follow up at the Verizon store yet. When I was there one of the techs had just purchased a Droid 3 for herself. We all watched while she opened the box and fired it up, etc. Straight out of the box it exhibited the same issue. She and I went over it for a while and exchanged emails & cell numbers. She was obviously concerned and promised to follow up and let me know. She follows these forums as well.
A couple of observations.. If the screen is locked with bluetooth on and an incoming call comes in the headset will work fine. Only when trying to make an outgoing call with the screen locked /off by pressing the headset button for voice commands does the mic fail to activate. Seems like the handset allows the headset to "wake up" the phone, but something fails to complete in the process.
While at the store we tried the headset on one of the floor demo phones and it worked! But apparently that phone had an older version of the software. BTW, my "system version" is 5.5.959.XT862. Im guessing if the older software didn't have this bug a fix should be relatively easy in a future software update. PROVIDING they get the message. I'm kinda new to this and I'm having a hard time posting up on the other forums.
In the meantime the short-term fix is to remember to hit the unlock button on the top of the phone before you hit the call button on your headset. Only one more button push, but quite a hassle if the phone is buried somewhere in your purse or pocket. Which sort of defeats the purpose of using the headset while driving to place calls.
It would be interesting to hear if others out there can duplicate this issue..

I need help with BlackBerry 8820's bluetooth issue

Hi!
Please accept my appology of my poor English.
My 8820 has a bluetooth issue with Bluedio E9+ headset. It must be note that the headset works well with another phone (not BlackBerry). My BlackBerry can't actively connects to bluetooth headset by the method 'Menu' key > 'Connect' option, but still able to receives connection request from the headset and pairs with the headset when i choose Yes. At this point I can use bluetooth function for data transfering, Voice Dialing and music playback (i.e. mp3 files). But each time I try a mp4 file with default video player in Media folder, its audio will never work with the bluetooth function, and the phone's speakers is automatically enabled. I try the menu when the video was playing, but there are only Activate Handset and Active Speakerphone options. Then I was converted the file with BlackBerry Video Converter Pro; I remove and reinsert the battery; I wipe the phone and install new ROM,... But none of them work.
Please help!

Bluetooth Issue ENVY dv7 C2Y65AV After Win 8.1 to Win 7 Downgrade

My laptop is an ENVYdv7 C2Y65AV
It originally came with Windows 8.0, and I upgraded later to 8.1.
I never liked 8.0 or 8.1 so I “downgraded” to Windows 7 Professional. I did my research, realizing there may be issues. I downloaded drivers, bought a new hard drive, etc.
All went better than expected and I am happy with the “downgrade”, save for 1 issue.
1- I am having difficulty getting my Bluetooth to connect completely to any of my devices (headphones or headset).
My WiFi works well, I believe the Bluetooth 4.0 is part of the Intel Centrino WiFi card . When connecting any Bluetooth device, it does show in the Bluetooth devices screen. It will discover it and “connect” to it, but nothing happens when I try to use them. The sound still comes from the laptop speakers.
I have the Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 BNHMW that came with the laptop. It worked well with Windows 8.1. All my Bluetooth devices paired easily with the laptop when Windows 8.1 is running.
I have been to Intel's website, made sure my driver for the wireless card for Windows 7 is the correct and latest version. They have a software utility that installs on your laptop, then searches and downloads the correct, latest version.
I downloaded all the drivers for this downgrade from HP's (this) website's software and driver support section. What a great resource this site is!
Suggestions? Advice?
I appreciate any help!
Thank you,
James
P.S.
An interesting thing about Windows 8.1.
When I installed Windows 7 Professional, I bought a new SSD hard drive just for this purpose. I had saved my pulled hard drive with Windows 8.1 on it just in case this downgrade didn't fare well.
Just for grins, I added it as a second hard drive (later) in case I needed to get missed files.
When I rebooted my laptop, I went into the boot manager, and selected my primary drive with Windows 7. It booted up normally.
Then seconds after booting, a message popped up saying I needed to reboot for the changes to take effect. I didn't recall making any, but figured something had updated?
So I did. I rebooted and Windows 8.1 took over, and changed files on my SSD hard drive (win 7 drive) that ultimately disabled that drive from booting Windows 7.
Trying to boot into the Windows 7 hard drive froze right after the Windows 7 splash screen.
I pulled the plug on the Windows 8.1 hard drive, rebooted to Windows 7. Before I could though, it had to scan the hard drive for changes, and correct them. Then Windows 7 booted up normally.
This Windows 8.1 sure is controlling. Can you say “Hal” from the movie “2001 A Space Odessay”
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank You Pepe999,
This Bluetooth issue has been resolved by following your suggestion and replacing my WiFi/ Bth card with a new Intel AC 7260.
Worked like a charm...Thank you!
Now my Windows 7 "downgrade" is complete. ALL is working, and working better for me than the windows 8.0 an later 8.1 it had.
