IPhone 6 plus Bluetooth not auto connecting - sometimes

Hi all,
I've seen numerous sites about numerous issues with blutooth on iOS 8 and iPhone 6
But I do not have an issue pairing, that is not what this post is about. I can pair just fine. I can pair to my car just fine. It syncs the contacts just fine. I can play music, use Siri and make phone calls just fine.
BUT; infrequently; something happens to the bluetooth on my iphone 6 Plus. I get in my car an my phone has not connected one day, at random. I look at bluetooth on my phone and it makes no attempt to connect to the car, so I select the car, it thinks about it and then after a while says to make sure it is in range, couldn't connect.
To resolve this; I turn off bluetooth on the iPhone, and turn it back on. Immediately it connects to the car. This works if I do it from the slide up control center also.
Similarly, I've experienced Airdrop just fail to find anyone via bluetooth, until I do the same, Off On bluetooth on the phone and suddenly everyone appears again. Again intermittantly.
What I've Tried.
Restarting phone. Hard restarting phone. Resetting network settings. Unpairing all bluetooth devices and re-pairing (note pairing has nothing to do with airdrop) and many combinations.
Symptoms suggest the bluetooth chip on the iphone has crashed and just isn't receiving anymore.
iPhone 6 plus; latest OS. originally restored from a backup of an iPhone 4S running iOS8. No other issues with device other than wsometimes screen doesnt wake on first press of home button / lock button.
Has anyone experienced this issue? If so did you resolve it? If not do you have plans? This is starting to get annoying enough for me to just return it. My old iphone doesnt have this issue.

I have this problem too. My phone and car (2013 Hyundai Elantra GT) are paired and there's no problem with that. Normally, they automatically connect via Bluetooth when I start the car. However, occasionally, they don't. When I try to manually make them connect (from the phone or the vehicle), the connection fails repeatedly.
I'm not going to do "Reset all Network Settings" on my phone unless it's a last resort and guaranteed fix because I don't want to lose wifi logins to every wifi network I've ever connected to.

Iphone Wi-fi not auto connecting (this time)

Usually it does every day I come home from work, it will auto connect to my wireless network without me having to do anything.
Today I was down the block and out of range of my wifi network, it tried to connect to another wifi network in which i denied access to it. Then it switched to "E" edge.
When I got home, right next to the wifi router, it was still showing an "E", so I was wondering why it didnt auto connect to the router. - So i went into general settings, and it searched and found my network, and I tapped the SSID Name of my network and joined with no problem.
My wifi is encrypted and you need a password to access it, everything is stored in my iphone, and it connected.
Was wondering why it didnt auto-connect, especialy if my setting in the iphone is set to auto connect to my trusted network..
weird.. Im thinking, because I hit deny to not connect to that network down the block, that it was also denying my Trusted network when I got home.
Possible bug?

Try shutting down the iphone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top until you see slide to power off. then hold to turn the iphone back on.
If the iphone does not auto-connect.
You might want to try the following.
go into settings > wifi
choose your network and tap on forget network.
turn the iphone off and back on again.
then set up your network connecting again.
Hope this helps

IPhone 6 Bluetooth: Not auto-pairing with car audio

I recently upgraded from iPhone 5 to a 6 with iOS 8.0.2. Typically, once I paired my phone w/ the car, it would auto-pair when in range when the car is on. When I upgraded, I had to delete the memory and re-pair my iPhone 6. It worked great. however, whenever I turn the car on, it says there's no device, my iPhone can see the Car_M_Media, I force a connection and it says unsuccessful. I find myself in a cycle of re-deleting the phone in the Subaru Legacy 2013 stock receiver if I want to make a connection.
Has anyone else had bluetooth issues with their car audio / hands free?

Hello there, Dominic.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue with bluetooth pairing to your car:
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6473
To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices.
On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8.
Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
Sign in to iCloud.com.
Select Find My iPhone.
Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network. Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data. The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Which is taken from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

Unfortunately, you can't. The iphone does not have the protocol for Bluetooth file sharing and so forth, between one iphone and another.

Iphone 4 does not stay connected to my network

Since upgrading to 6.1, my iPhone 4 does not stay connected to my network. I have to input my password each time I leave my house. My other devices stay connected, so the issue is with the upgrade. Has anyone found a way to keep their IPhone connected to their network? Thanks.

I don't have another phone to try. I took out the sim to check for deffects but it looked fine. Cleaned the sim card with alcohol and cleaned the aim compartment. Phone didn't loose Internet connection all day yesterday, but this morning went to check emails and wouldn't update until I turned airplane mode on then off again.

IPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal

iPad 3 and iPhone 5 will not stay connected to wifi although I am close to router and have strong signal. I have to keep joining the network or restarting devices or forgetting network and rejoining it. As a side note my 1st gen iPhone which I upgraded to iPhone 5 yesterday always stayed connected!

The steps to try would be to:
1. Restore the iPhone to Factory.
2. If that does not solve the problem replace the iPhone.
If Verizon is offering to replace the iPhone for free under warranty I would go with that option.

Any way to NOT auto connect with wifi?

I connected to a WiFi that was near me. Turned out to be a Jack-In-The-Box wifi which requires you to be in the restaurant looking at their tv screen for a code to type in.. well, anyways its really annoying now when trying to get online and it hooks up to that signal!
Anyway to make it not AUTO connect to ONLY that WiFi signal?

When connected to the network tap on Settings/WiFi, then the arrow to the right of the network name, then "Forget this network"

My iPhone 6 will not auto rotate after installation of version 8.0.2. The auto rotate lock is off in settings and in the Kindle app, but nothing will go to landscape.

Since the installation of 8.0.2 my iPhone 6 will not auto rotate in any app. I have locked/unlocked the feature in settings several times using the command bar but to no avail. I read using the Kindle app and it also is locked in portrait whether the lock is on or off.

Your auto lock got turned on. Swipe up on the screen and tap the upper right icon. This will allow it to work again!
Actually, the OP tried that (six months ago) and it didn't work. They resolved the issue (six months ago) by updating their system software (six months ago).

Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac help?

Wi-fi connection does not auto connect on 21.5-inch mid 2010 imac running OS X 10.8.3 (12D78) help? My wife's imac with OS X 10.6.8 has no problem getting on wi-fi automatically as well as my Ipad 2 running iOS 6.1.2

If you get a green light then you did not do a factory reset - you must disconnect all wires and follow the instructions above - you will end up with the Extreme blinking yellow - then use the Airport utility to set up the Extreme - you can put in your own names for the network, device etc. - when it comes to the passwords you can use ones of your own choice - it is not asking for the old one - if it is then it was not reset completely - try to reset again if necessary - it may take more than one try - if it still asks for a password then use "public" - it is the default - once you have set it up with your new information, and you have a green light, test the connection with your computer - if you can access the internet then you are all set - then try to a use the Apple TV with the new password - if the computer still asks for a password, then it is asking for the computer password and not the extreme or network password - I can't help you with that - you would have to ask that question on the iMac discussion group.
