IPhone 3G won't switch from bluetooth

Unlike so many threads I've seen, my phone has no trouble pairing and connecting to a bluetooth device.
My problem comes later, when the device is off, and not even nearby.
If I use my phone in the car with it's built in bluetooth, I have to manually switch the phone back later, long after the car is turned off and I'm nowhere near it.
Is this a known problem, and is there a solution?

yup me also,
as bad luck would have it, I have not had any reason to pair my iPhone until now. (bad luck becasue I can no longer get apple support and o2 support can't solve it)I have tethering on my O2 tariff but can't pair my iPhone with my Macbook pro.
as with the description above, I see the iPhone on my Macbook (sometimes - and for short periods) but the iPhone will not (ever) allow me to enter a pairing code or make any connect.
are there any known reasons that an iPhone 3G can't pair with either my MBP or iM?
any help is appreciated.

  • IPhone 6 won't switch from 4G to LTE

    Even though LTE is enabled it won't switched even after a rebooting. my wife has LTE right next to me. 

    I had the same problem. Upgraded from a 4s to a 6 and got a new SIM card. Try resetting the network settings; it will restart automatically. If you don't have LTE a few minutes after it restarts, call your provider.  I have AT&T; they had to send a network reset from their end to get LTE to connect.

    Alas, this did not help me. I don't have an Orientation Button or any Icon that would help in this endeavor. At the bottom of my Iphone 4s, there are 3 icons: Phone, Mail and Safari. That's it. I can't get those icons to move.
    What is it you're trying to do?  If you're looking for orientation lock in iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of your phone to access control center.  Orientation lock is the top right icon.

  • Iphone 4 won't switch on after ios update

    Hi my iphone 4 won't switch on pretty well first use after latest update.
    I have tried numerous button pressing configurations and times as suggested on other forums but still no luck...any ideas?

    Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
    If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
    If all good - restore from back up
    good luck...

    I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • Psc won't switch from copy to print

    I so need help!  My hp psc 750 won't switch from copy mode to print mode.  I have a job I need to print and when I go to print it, it says printer error and puts my print job in queue.  Nothing is waiting to copy, it just won't go to print mode.  Help please!!! 

    I would start by checking the USB cable is connected between the printer and computer.  Next make sure the printer driver is installed and that the printer is not set to "use printer offline".

  • IPhone 5 won't switch on silver logo flashing

    iPhone 5 won't switch on silver logo flashing

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My iphone 4 won't switch on but when i plug in my charger it does?

    My IPhone 4 won't switch on but when i put it on the charger it does work i've tried everything but it won't work. Is something wrong with my charger or is it my Phone

    An obvious possibilty is a dead battery. They don't last forever. Take it along to an Apple store and get it checked out.

  • IPhone 5s won't switch to landscape mode

    I have the iPhone 5s (32GB) and the software currently being used is up to date (IOS 7.1.1).
    My problem is that my phone won't switch to landscape mode. When I take pictures, it won't turn over, and all other apps, even when I play games like Temple Run, it won't allow the character to move side to side.
    I have checked to see if my phone's orientation lock is on, which it is not. I have done a hard reset which did not fix it. I also did a restore where I restored it completely and set it up as a new phone, and restored it and set it up with a backup. Nothing has helped it!!
    I don't know what to do, and would much rather figure it out than go to the Apple Store and get it looked at. If you have any knowledge or anything that can potentially help resolve this issue, i'd be very much appreciated!!
    Thanks

  • IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

    I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ?  Anybody help please.  Thanks

  • IPhone 4 won't download from app store

    iPhone 4 won't download apps from app store. They start and then hang. This all started after I had to reset and restore
    My phone.

    This issue is happening on older editions of the phone as well.  I'm experiencing the issue with my 3GS and have the same issue when actually using iTunes on my MacBook.
