IPhone 4S Bluetooth not discovering any devices

Hi, my iPhone 4S won't discover any Bluetooth devices at all.
I've tried resetting network settings, hard resetting the phone and neither of these work.
I have another iPhone 4S for work that will find the devices (I tried it as a test) but I need my personal phone to connect as the devices personal devices are a headset (which my phone did previously connect to) and a Nike Fuelband.
Any ideas what's wrong with the Bluetooth or how to fix it?
Thanks

Additional Information
- If the steps above have not resolved the Bluetooth behavior you are experiencing, perform a software restore in iTunes.
- If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
Tip: You may want to go back and run through every step one more time before restoring, just to make sure we didn't miss anything.
Thanks,

  • Ipod nano 7g not discover any device bluetooh

    Hi, my ipod nano 7g not discover any bluetooh device.
    I turn on the bluetooht and is "searching" in "discoverable mode" but does not detect any device.
    My iphone 5, immediately detects the headset Nokia BH-503, the same as my iPad mini.
    Please .... help me!

    Have you placed the headset in pairing (discoverable) mode and have you turned off the BT on the iPhone 5 and iPad mini if they are in range?

  • My iPhone 5 will not discover any Bluetooth devices I have. I followed the instructions after going to settings etc. and it just continues to search finding nothing. I've made sure the devices are on and ready

    Bluetooth not working

    If the iPhone 5 was purchased yesterday, you should still be within your free ninety (90) days of complimentary phone support.  Was it purchased as a new device, or second-hand?
    You have free options, such as the troubleshooting articles on this website:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3018
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
    Another free option is to get fifteen minutes of free troubleshooting support at a local Apple store.
    Another free option is the one that you just used, asking a question on this forum.
    Apple customers that pay for the Apple Care Protection Plan ($69 for an iPhone 5, to get double the length of hardware warranty, and twenty-one (21) extra months of troubleshooting support over the phone, live with an tech), get priority over customers that have chosen not to use that service.
    Use the right solution for your needs.  Some people are willing to pay for live tech support, others prefer the free options.

  • IPhone 4S bluetooth not discovering bluetooth devices

    My iPhone 4S bluetooth is not discovering bluetooth devices, specifically my new Platronics Voyager Pro HD headset which worked just fine with the iPhone 4 even after the recent software upgrade.  I noticed that others are having bluetooth discovery issues as well.  Will Apple be addressing this problem with a software fix or is this a hardware problem?

    Nevermind!  It always helps to re-read the Platronics - how to pair your device instructions.  DUH!!!!

    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • My iPad will not discover any blue tooth devices

    My iPad will not discover any blue tooth devices. The Bluetooth is turned on but it will only discover a Blackberry phone and not my other iPad or 5s and 4s or a QED receiver.

    To connect the devices over bluetooth, just enable Bluetooth in Settings app on both devices.
    Bluetooth is activated automatically when Wi-Fi connectivity is not available or does not work properly.
    Note: Initial Bluetooth connection takes around 15 seconds to activate.
    This is the directions for the app.  And all the reviews seem to just go right on through!  I have a love hate relationship with my apples!! 
    Thank you so much by the way for trying to help me!

  • Have a bluetooth issue, my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

    my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

    have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. 
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • My iPhone 3GS is not showing in "devices" on my iTunes. Tried everything that Apple advize but still not working. Any suggestions please? :)

    Hello, hope someone can please help. I've had my iPhone 18 months, not had any problems with using it. Trying to update the software to 4.0 on iTunes but it's just not recognizing it at all. It's not there under devices (infact, even the heading "devices" isn't shown), Tried a different USB port but that didn't solve it.
    Have changed my startup (using msconfig) as Apple suggested, but again still nothing. Have downloaded the latest iTunes and *again* not working!!!!
    Any suggestions please?

    Perhaps you have already done this, but I'd be sure to verify that it's not your cable...try a different cable and that will eliminate that as a source of the error.
