IPhone 4: Since iOS5 Bluetooth issues when connected to car hands free and audio system

Hi @ all,
this discussion is either a kind of "warning" for those who hadn't yet updated to iOS 5 and a beg to Apple for fixing the issue:
Obviously the iOS 5 does have some problems with VW and Ford (germany) modells equipped with handsfree and audio systems (googling a little bit resulted in many, many complaints in german discussion forums about it). Unfortunatelly I'm facing these problems now too:
Issue 1:
When the iPhone is connected to the audio-system of the car via Bluetooth, the Audio Slider on the iPhone doesn't work any longer. The only thing that it is capable to do is, if you slide it completely to the left, which results in switching the audio completely off.
Issues 2 (much more annoying):
When the iPhone is connected to the handsfree system of the car, the ringtone volume is obviously set to "off" or at least "extreme low". This doesn't harm when using the phone with the handsfree since the ringtone still is coming from the cars loudspeakers. But as soon as you leave the car and the bluetooth connection is disconnected, the ringtone audio on the iPhone is STILL set to "off". Means: Each time, when you leave your car, you have to increase the ringtone volume manually.
Issue 1 is more a "not nice" or a "OK, it's first release" bug. But issue 2 would have been a reason for me to wait for upgrading to iOS 5, since I'm using my iPhone as a business tool and am quite frequent on travel.
To verify that I hadn't had a bug when upgrading for the first time my iPhone, I completely set my phone back to factory default, put it in maintenance mode and re-flashed it completely anew using iTunes. I only performed minimal setup to make sure, nothing else could cause this. The issue still remained, therefore it was clear to me, it is iOS 5. I never had any of these issues with iOS 3 und 4. A probable "workaround" would be a downgrade, but this doesn't work, as known, either.
@ Apple Engineering: Please fix this as soon as possible!
Cheers,
Frank

Good question... I haven't found a "reliable" way of sending constructive(!) Feedback to those at Apple who really care. I remember the beginning days of Mac OS X, when the reply-link was even on top of the dock.
Maybe I'm just not aware of working feedback channels, I only can hope that some of Apple's people with "influence" read statements like this...
Cheers,
Frank

Bluetooth connection to car hands free

i have a motorola car hands free kit installed with my old 6230i the connection was automatic but i now have a 5500 sport this needs to be re-installed every time i get into my van does anyone know why or is the sport a H.O.S

If you try resetting your motorola car kit ( i dont know how) then pair your phone again this should work. also in your phone bluetooth settings see if you can change the motorola kit to automatically authuorise connections. It sound like the kit is still looking for your 6230i which needs to be deleted.

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

IPhone 5S playback won't pause when connected to car USB.

I drive a 2009 Civic Hybrid, and when I connect my iPhone 5S to the USB jack, music plays automatically. When I try to pause it, it stops momentarily and resumes. It also overrides voice command. Any idea why this might be happening or how to stop it?

Same happens to me with a Hyundai Tucson under 8.1.x ; whenever I plug the phone it starts playing, and can't pause. Siri also won't work since as soon as it pauses the music, it resumes playback and interrupts Siri.
However at some point it did fix itself; it was something like I connected the phone while in the middle of a call after having done a sync, and then turned the car on and it did not initiate playback (since I was in the middle of a speakerphone call), and from then on it worked fine, did not do the automatic playback anymore. Everything worked as it should for weeks, until I upgraded to 8.1.2 and then it broke again. So it's some kind of setting or "cookie" that'd be stored either in the phone or in the car. Haven't been able to replicate the "fix" again.

Not allowing bluetooth connection to car hands free

Hi
I have a blackberry curve 8520 and a Bury hands free kit.
Normally as soon as the car is switched on the Bury comes on and starts searching for the blackberry and finds it immediately over the bluetooth and connects without any trouble.
Recently it no longer does this. Now I have to stop the Bury auto searching, turn off the blackberry bluetooth and then turn it back on for the bluetooth to connect.
If I allow for the Bury to keep searching you can see in the wireless networks screen that if briefly connects for a second and then disconnects and continues to do this.
I have restored the Bury to factory reset and it is not the Bury device because my Blackberry Pearl connects fine without any problem, it is my other phone that won't connect.
I have deleted it out of devices, played around with encryption settings and tried every setting I can see.
What is going on? why is my curve not allowing a connection to be made? I don't understand what can have happened for it to suddenly not work.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Music plays automatically when connecting to car w/USB, and I don't want it to!

I have an iPhone 4s. I am using an app call RSS Radio to download and play a podcast to which I subscribe. I use this frequently in the car, connecting to the car radio with USB. My music player comes on automatically whenever I conncet the USB cord, and also when the podcast is stopped for any reason. For example, when reaching the end of the podcast the music comes on. When the phone rings, the music comes on, and I am unable to hear the caller. This problem also happens when I am playing the Boggle app...as soon as I open the app, the music comes on. I have to manually go into the music app and stop the song from playing, or re-start the podcast. I don't see any settings that let me adjust anything. Can anyone help me with a way to stop this music from coming on unless I actually go to it and play it intentionally? Thanks!

It's been about a year since I asked this question... I hope someone has an answer because it is such an annoying problem! I have been reluctant to upgrade to iOS7, does anyone think this could solve my problem?

My iPhone 3GS no longer opens iTunes when connected.

My iPhone 3GS no longer opens iTunes when connected. Not since recent big update. It is ticked to open on connection.
Any pointers to a solution.
TIA

I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.

Bluetooth issues when using smartwatch on the z1s

I'm having some Bluetooth issues when using my smartwatch. I usually use my z1s with my car radio via Bluetooth to listen to music and for making calls. Now that I got a sony smartwatch I always got problems with the calls. It looks like that the Bluetooth turns off during the call when I'm using the smartwatch. I already tried by deleting and pairing again the z1s, but nothing works. Not sure if maybe the z1s does not support the smartwatch and the care radio Bluetooth connection at the same time. However it works fine when playing music! The problem is just with the calls. This never happens before I got the smartwatch.

I have the Tmobile Z1s and a SW2 and have the same issues with multiple devices:
1) Bose Soundlink Mini
2) Sony MBR-100
3) My car's bluetooth
4) Ford Sync
5) Sony SBH20
6) Motorola S305
If the phone connects to the A2DB device, it will typically play fine for several minutes. Then, audio will drop out. If I do nothing, after several minutes my watch will vibrate to show it has disconnected. Sometimes audio then comes back, and sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes my phone will not connect to my car. Then, if I can get it to connect, it will only allow for phone audio, not media audio.
This issue has been on (2) Z1s's with the SW2. The first I returned due to touch screen issues, which the second one also has. All of the devices above worked perfectly fine with my Xperia Z, Galaxy S2, HTC One, etc. The Xperia Z and the SW2 never had any problems.
Honestly, this phone has been incredibly frustrating. If the upcoming updates for either the SW2 or Z1S don't fix this issue, I'm going to return it and get something else.

Ea6300 causing network issues when connecting to web browser on my Mac

I have had my ea6300 for two months and its causing major issues when connecting to my web broweser before I throw it out the window can someone give me some help.

Hi bigtimer30, what do you mean by “it’s causing major issues when connecting to my web browser”? Do you mean that the MAC computer is no longer able to access the internet? If yes, is it with both wired and wireless connections? Is this happening to all of your devices? Or just that specific MAC computer? If all the other devices are still able to connect except the MAC, I suggest that you do a power cycle on the computer (if you haven’t done it yet). And you’re having difficulties with the wireless part, try to hard wire the computer straight to your router, and check if you experience the same thing. If the wired connection is okay, you may try playing with the router’s wireless channel. Better if you could give more details for us to give you more suggestions.

How to solve the noise issue when connecting an electric guitar?

Hello,
I own a 15'' MacBook Pro of early 2011, with Lion Mac OS X 10.7.2
I have an issue when connecting my electric guitar (Guitar Rig 4 LE) via USB & starting the Garageband '11 (ver. 6.0.4). I tried playing with the settings to get around the fuzziness/noise that's produced when the guitar is connected.
The original software I got with Guitar Rig 4 ALSO had a similar issue, but I solved it by turning down the ''Gate'' volume to get a clear guitar sound. I tried looking for a similar thing on Garageband but no luck. I'm taking the online lessons via Garageband, with all that noise it makes it even harder to learn.
Hope I made my case clear, and I'm looking forward for any suggestions in this technical problem I'm facing.
Cheers

Hey Keith, thanks for your response.
Well, to be honest I had no idea what that was, so I opened Garageband and looked for that option, and it seems I can't access it during the guitar lessons. I tried exiting the lessons to the main window but the option you talked about under the ''Track'' tab was still faded (i.e. inaccessible).
Did I misunderstand you or done it wrong?
The noise even gets WORSE when trying out the Rock Guitar lessons, not so bad on the Basic Guitar & Blues Guitar...
By the way, I did try the ''Aggregate'' Audio MIDI setup thingy from the utilities to enable both ''Built-in Output'' & ''USB PnP Sound Device (which is the guitar)" and didn't solve the problem.
Running out of options. Opt for surgery? haha jk

Hi,
When using your VPN are yo using Terminal LIcense or Remote Desktop Connection?
Please do the following to save form settings:
1. Only 1 module should be open when using form settings.
Close other modules that doesn't need.
2. Close the module after changed. To make sure the settings are saved.
3. Always close all the module before exiting SBO program, use the click FIle and Exit habit.
4. Terminal Licensing should be use when connecting remotely.
Thanks.

Your the one saying it won't work properly, so yes it is broken.

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!
