Iphone 4S has same bluetooth issue as my iphone 4

My iphone 3GS and Jawbone Icon bluetooth headset got along fine and worked perfectly.  A few days after getting the new iphone 4, I started having callers report difficulty hearing me (are you talking in a tunnel, I hear static, sounds muffled, I cant hear you etc).  I did all the resets of both headset and iphone many times and had Apple tech support try also.  I tried the Jawbone Icon and Era as well as Blueant hadsets, with similar results.  Apple kindly replaced the iphone 4 several times with no improvement.  When I got the iphone 4S I was hoping this issue would be resolved.  I wear my bluetooth headset all day long and really miss the rock solid bluetooth funtionality of my old 3GS.  I understand the iphone 4S uses Bluetooth 4 technology and I was hoping this issue would be resolved.  Am I the Lone Ranger here?  Anyone have similar problems?  Any suggestions would be appreciated

Nope. you are not alone. I'm having the same issue with my iPhone 4S/ Plantronics 510. However, it used to work fine with my iPhone 4.
Guess, we'll have to check with the support folks!

  • IPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

    Ok here is my findings:
    Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.
    Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.
    I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.
    I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.
    Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.
    I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

    I had same Bluetooth issues with iOS 8 on my iPhone 6; no phone/no music streaming although showing as "connected" with my 2 vehicles (VW and Audi).
    Apple telephone technical support team solved issue with both cars as follows:
    1. Delete the phone from handsfree memory in the Bluetooth car settings.
    2. "Forget" the handsfree device (car) in the iPhone Bluetooth settings.
    3. Reset ALL settings in iPhone (not just network settings)!!
    (note: I had to reset ALL settings twice in a row for this to work.)
    It worked in both cars! (Hope it stays working.....?)
    You will have to reset wallpaper, and most other settings, as well.  Certainly worth the trouble to get car Bluetooth up and running properly.
    Good luck.

  • 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!

  • 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'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV.  Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to stream a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV
    Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • 8.1 did not fix Bluetooth issue with iPhone 5 and car

    8.1 didn't fix my issue with Bluetooth. I can receive calls and play music thru my Mazda CX-9 but I cannot make outgoing calls. My daughter has same issue with her iPhone 5 in her car so it has to be glitch with Apple yet. Please help. I'm so totally frustrated and I'm not eligible for iPhone 6 until January.

    I found there is another contact group list as part of the Bluetooth sync menu; altering that took care of the issue.
    This is a non-issue.

  • 8.2 iPhone 6 + bluetooth issue

    Up until 8.2, my bluetooth connectivity with my VW Passat was just fine.  I could stream music, make calls using the steering wheel controls, etc.  When a call came in, music would cut out, caller id would show on the phone and I could answer the call using the steering wheel controls.
    This worked for my iPhone 4, iPhone 5 and iPhone 6+ up until this latest iOS update (8.2)
    Now, when a call comes in, my car will ring, the phone stays with a black screen.  After 2 rings, my iPhone 6+ begins to ring and the caller id shows.   If I was using the music app, the music will cut out when the phone rings (as it should), but as soon as the phone is answered, the music begins playing again over the call.
    I can no longer make a call using the steering wheel controls.  After saying 'call' then the name, the car disconnects the phone.  Again, this has never happened with any of the iterations of iOS with iPhones and this car up until 8.2
    I can, however, make calls using the iPhone 6+ and Siri, using the car speaker and mic.
    I've noticed other glitches in iOS 8 (all versions) but this bluetooth issue is most annoying and dangerous.  It has now removed Hands Free from my car and forced me to use the handset if calls are made or come in.
    Has anyone else seen similar issues on 8.2?  I've cleared the Bluetooth settings and restarted the phone many times and I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

    Yes, I have exactly the same problem with all our VW & Volvo at work. iOS 8.1 iphone 6 & 6+ Bluetooth 4.0
    now, we have bought some other smart phone with latest 4G+ technology : no more problems good connectivity
    we used old iphone 4 with iOS 5.1.1: the Bluetooth connectivity was fine, but no 4G+!!

  • HT1349 Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook.

    Has anyone had issues with the iphone 4s and facebook. I have downloaded the app and sometimes it will let me log in and then it will log me out and not let me back in. I have deleted and downloaded it several times and nothing is working. HELP!

    @razmee: rather unhelpful.
    @tata - we're having the same trouble, and the only solution we've found doesn't fix it.
    1) uninstall
    2) login on PC/MAC and change password
    3) reboot iphone
    4) install facebook app, reboot again
    5) login from iphone. 
    No joy.
    Safari works, but not for the apps.
    Of course, it's Facebook that has to fix this.

  • Bluetooth issues w/ IPhone 6 & Chevy Traverse

    I Had the iPhone 5 and my Bluetooth worked great in my Chevy traverse. Now that I have the iPhone 6 I am experiencing constant issues with the Bluetooth and traverse functions.  The phone number shown on incoming and outgoing calls does not match the actual number, the vehicle buttons don't answer incoming calls, the Bluetooth connection seems to drop after you make the 1st call once connected (2nd call made requires disconnect and reconnect to work).  Is any one else experiencing Bluetooth issues with their vehicle or with the Chevy traverse?  Anyone know how to fix these issues?
    thanks,
    Robert

    Hello Rjshimanek3,
    I have an issue with bluetooth on iPhone 6 Plus not working properly with my car as well.  My iPhone 5 worked fine with the car.  My iPhone 5 used to have iOS 7.1 and it worked.  I upgraded my iPhone 5  to 8.0 (a few days before iPhone 6/6+ available in the store) and it also worked.  Now my iPhone 6 plus did not seem to work with my car BT properly.  If I play music, I can hear the sound through my speakers.  However, when I placed a phone call using BT in the car, it dialed out but as soon as the call is connected, the audio source (as seen from the iPhone 6 plus screen) switched from car BT to just "iPhone".    Most of the times now when I tried to connected my iPhone 6 Plus to the car BT, my car menu is frozen like the phone is dialing out, which it is not doing.  So I have to turn off BT of the iPhone 6 Plus in the car.
    Here are a few things that I tried
    > I tried to delete the bluetooth device from my car and repaired it and it did not work
    > I tried to reset network settings from the iPhone 6 plus and repaired it with the car BT and it did not work
    > I tried to restart the iPhone 6 plus and repaid it with car BT and it did not work
    >  I upgraded iPhone 6 plus to latest iOS 8.0.2 and it did not work with my car BT
    > I tried my iPhone 6 plus on another car (same make though, different model) and similarly can't make phone call and car menu frozen with "dialing" on the screen.
    I would like to try my car BT with another iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 + which I don't have so I can see if it's my particular iPhone 6 plus or the car.  At this point, I am thinking.
    I'd like to hear if others are having issue with Bluetooth on iPhone 6/6+
    thanks

  • Bluetooth issues....with Iphone 4

    I was with Tmobile for 9 years and less than 2 weeks ago I switched to AT&T. Great Iphone 4 we both got and a good plan.
    The problem is the bluetooth being dropped all the time and muffled sound and or hearing every other word. This is a HUGE issue with me being in the medical field and using 5 to 6000 min/month all on bluetooth. Never had a problem with my 3G. After looking in the Apple site and finding this IS a issue ...I am open to any way to resolve this? I am very good with resolving issues, however, after two new Jawbones and reading the complaints...it is not me or the bluetooth.
    People should be advised of this issue when purchasing.
    Thank you for your time and pleae advise!

    Hi, I am an old ATT customer new to the Iphone 4 on 4.2.1. I LOVE THIS phone BUT....I am on my third one in less than three months because of this bluetooth issue. I have a BlueAnt Q2 (my fav), an old Motorola 720, a new Motorola HD 17, and none of them works right consistently with this phone. I reset, I pair and repair the bluetooth headset, I reset the network settings, I turn the phone and headset on and off, I restore the phone, and it still does work as good as my old LG Shine (the original version) or my old Samsung Propel Pro. This makes me very sad because I live on my bluetooth so that I can talk and use my hands at the same time. If Apple fixed this my life would be immeasurably better.

  • How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
    I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone. 
    I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them.  I also checked all of the other icloud setting. 
    Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke)  I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad.  I opened then closed the document and the app.  When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
    If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings.  Has to be there and active.

    You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

  • 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.

  • Two Macbooks, same spec, yet one has major connectivity issues

    Hi,
    I have two (old - 2006) macbooks, bought at exactly the same time, exactly the same spec, probably off the same factory line. Yet one has serious Airport issues which are proving very difficult.
    It will pick up a maximum of one wireless network, which it barely is able to connect to. There are 3 wireless networks in this house yet it only picks up the nearest one. The other macbook can pick up at least 15 other networks despite being exactly the same spec and on the desk next to it.
    Even when it connects to my network, connections are frequently dropped - over 50% packet loss generally.
    Both are running the same OS and are exactly the same spec. I have tried resetting the PRAM, deleting the airport prefs, resetting the SMC; you name it I've tried it. I noticed that this is quite a common issue with Snow Leopard + Airport, but I am now thinking it could be a faulty Airport card. Could this be the case?

    You already mentioned that you thought that "it could be a faulty AirPort card". I agreed and offered another possibility as well.
    Whether or not you are using Snow Leopard, if you have a faulty wireless card or a faulty antenna connector, you will most certainly have major connectivity issues.
    You've already performed all the standard troubleshooting steps and mentioned that you felt it may be a hardware issue.
    If you have changed your mind and feel that it's a Snow Leopard issue, (logic would dictate that it would have also affected your other identical computer the same way) you have the option of reinstalling the operating system to see if that might help.
