Iphone 5 - Bluetooth simply wont work

Hi
I've just traded in my trusty old Iphone 4 for an brand new Iphone 5. The Iphone 4 happily connected Bluetooth to anything I wanted it to, my headphones, my car stereo, my ipad etc etc
This new 5 is showing "now discoverable" but nothing can discover it, and apparently it cant discover anything else, Just goes round and round drawing a big fat blank. All tried accessories are still happily working with each other and the old Iphone 4.
It would appear that, to all intents and purposes, in late 2012, I have just bought a phone that doesnt have Bluetooth. Can somebody please tell me thats not the case?????

    My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
    Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.   Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions  iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories

  • Can anyone help me out? My Iphone 4S's mic wont work after ios 6 upgrade

    Can anyone help me out? My Iphone 4S's mic wont work when Im making a call and I can hear them, but when I turn on the speaker option, they can hear me. It wont work with Siri either. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I've already tried rebooting the phone. I tried doing a restore from backup but should i do a full restore? Thanks

    Restore your device as NEW.  Before you add any apps to it (other than the ones that come with iOS 6), try out the phone.  If it still doesn't work, you'll need to go to Apple for phone replacement.

    Yes it's in pairing mode, it worked fine with the 3GS but doesn't seem to work with the 4s,  my 4s can't find any other bluetooth device, I think the problem ls with apple?

  • Sync iPhone with Bluetooth doesn't work with me.

    I have try to sync my bluetooth with my computer, and I just can make it work, I know I have to turn on my iphone's bluetooth and have it discoverable, I have done that and still not working, my macbook founds it but if I try to send something it said that the devicer is not connected, while my iphone still just searching for bluetooth devicers or compu, phone, etc.
    How do I fix this?

    It is not supposed to work. Syncing via bluetooth is not a supported feature, you have to use a USB cable. (you really wouldn't want to wait for bluetooth anyway, it is horribly slow for transferring multi-gigs of data)

  • My iPhone 4s bluetooth is not working

    Dear Apple Customer ,
    I m using iPhone 4s but my phone bluetooth is not working . If i bluetooth on after searching device long time.
    Pls help me how to solve this problem .
    Regards,
    Viswa

    What are you trying to connect to? iOS has BT profiles for connecting to keyboards, headsets, speakers, car systems. Through the Personal Hotspot settings on the iPhone, you can also connect to other devices to share an internet connection. Sharing files over BT is not a function that iOS devices support.
    Please give more details about what your trying to do and what's happening when you try.
    Best of luck.

    Discussing jailbroken iPhones is against the T&C of use of this forum. We need to stop here itself.

  • IPhone 4 bluetooth no longer working in my 2010 Hyundai Tucson. Need Help.

    Hi.  I have a 2010 Hyundai Tucson.  In June of this year I bought the iphone 4.  I was able to use the bluetooth / pairing in my Tucson with no problems.  It was great because I could just push the buttons on my steering wheel to talk on my phone through the car!  It worked until two or three weeks ago.  Now my Tucson will not "pair" with the phone.  My phone identifies that it is "Tucson" it is trying to link up with but won't ever do it.  Sometimes the keyboard comes up on my phone so I can type in a 4 digit password (0000) provided by my Tucson, but it disappears before I can get the password typed in and gives me a message saying I took too long, pairing failed.  I am typing REALLY fast but it is not fast enough.  I have read a few other posts and looks like their might be a problem with the latest update for the iphone 4.  What am I supposed to do now?  Is their a place I report this to Apple at?  Any suggestions appreciated.  Thanks!

    I am having the absolute exact same problem with my 2010 Hyundai Tucson.  After reading some of the other forum posts, it appears that this may be related to an iPhone update.  Have you had any luck with a solution?  I'm so frustrated.  To make matters worse, I was trying to trouble shoot the problem and narrow the issue, so I took my husband's Nokia Lumina phone to see if I could pair it....paired it within seconds.  No problem!  Ughhhhhh!  I need some suggestions.

  • IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

    I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it.  Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players.  I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works.  I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects. 
    I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right?  Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

    Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
    I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5.  It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
    First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both.  Not so with the 5.  With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio.  I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins.  (0000 and 1212).  I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked.  It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name.  I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
    Play with it and you will get it to work.  If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.

  • Iphone 5 bluetooth is not working with my macbook

    can somebody help me? my iphone 5 is not working when i try to use it with my mackbook.

    What are you trying to do? The only thing you can pair your bluetooth for is to tether from your phone to your macbook. You cannot do anything else with bluetooth.
