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!!!!

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

Hey Ellen12345,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. You've almost completed every step, as the following article outlines:
iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562
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,
Matt M.

Mine is not a question but I received the solution to the iphone 4s not discovering bluetooth, you hold the top button and the home button until the apple logo comes up and then let it reboot, put your bluetooth in pairing mode, and then turn on bluetooth

My new iphone 4s would not discover bluetooth. I called apple, and the guy was great!!! He told me to hold the top button and the home button together and do not let go until the apple logo came up, this would do a hard reset. Then when it reboots, you turn on your bluetooth in paring mode, and then turn on the bluetooth on your iphone 4s and it will find your bluetooth device. Simple, yet it works!!! Hope this helps those of you having the same problem I was having trying to connect your bluetooth.

Hello,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding what devices you are having an issue with to provide a better answer. However, most devices need to be placed in pairing mode before you will see them. Try going through the article below as it may help with this scenario.

My iphone 5 is not discovered ssid wifi

my iphone 5 is not discovered ssid wifi in near of ap, but most very near of ap why ???? my ios v 6.0.2 but not currect work

Try restarting the iPhone and power cycling the router.
Is the network broadcasting the Wi-Fi address? Do you see any errors when trying to join the network?
Also, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

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.

Iphone4 is not discovering bluetooth devices

My Iphone4 will not discover any bluetooth devices. It used to connect to my car other iphones but now it wont. Ive updated to IOS5.1, I've reset, restored, tried various things recommended by O2 and Apple support and finally the Apple store replaced my phone but I still cannot connecting to any bluetooth devices. My husband who has exactly the same Iphone can connect to all our bluetooth devices and I suspect its some setting that I need to change.
Please help!

You probably need to delete the pairings and re-pair the devices. The device you want to pair with must be in discoverable mode. Consult the manual for the device to find out how to do this.

IPhone 4S Bluetooth not discovery bluetooth headsets

My iPhone 4S bluetooth is not discovering my orginial iPhone Bluetooth Headset and it's also not discovering my Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset. It does discover my MacBook in a matter of seconds. I've made certain that both headset devices are fully charged and turned on. I've tried with Siri enabled and disabled, no change.
When I say it does not discover my bluetooth headsets, meaning my headset(s) are turned on, bluetooth is turned on my iPhone 4S and discovery is active, but niether headset devices appear in the list.
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance for your time.
-Erica

I finally solved my own issue, so this is for everyone else! On my Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth Stereo Headset, I did the factory reset function that consist of holding down the power button in the center ("O") and holding down the volume increase button on the left ear piece ("+") until the LED light changes to blue. I already had my bluetooth turned on my iPhone 4S and it paired it right away.

Bluetooth not discovering jawbone headset

My new iphone will not discover my jawbone headset. It just searches with no response. The jawbone is on and does work cuz it worked with my treo, I even reset it.
Any ideas?

Are you putting the Jawbone in pairing mode? Make sure it is turned on, (the white light flashing) then after you turn the bluetooth on your iPhone on, hold down the noise cancel button on the Jawbone, (the button behind the power button.) Your phone should ask for a pairing code, at that time enter 0000 then you'll be paired. Hope this helps.

          Hold the Power Button down for at least 15 sec. Then Reconnect Everything back
Turn on the Systen and Right away start hitting F2 to load the BIOS Utility
          Inside BIOS hit F9 then Enter for Yes to load defaults
