Iphone 8Gb-ver. Bluetooth chip.........

what can we expect form the SDK does the bluetooth chip in the iphone have the ability to do more than sync to headset/ car hands free kits?
Message was edited by: mcints77

Based on the information publicly available about the SDK, people working with the SDK wouldn't be able to write additional Bluetooth profiles.
No background processes, no changing OS components, and applications being sandboxed.
However, the bluetooth chip itself is not the limitation. Bluetooth chips don't actually control what Bluetooth profiles are supported. They are just the medium. Does your ink pen control what language you write in? Sure, you can't do languages requiring a calligraphy style, but you can write multiple languages with a pen. Likewise Bluetooth is the means of transfer. Profiles determine the content.
Profiles are software based. Some don't make sense other than for possibly novelty effect. For example using your iPhone as a mouse (HID profile).
There have been no announcements about if Apple will be adding profiles. Any suggestion they would be adding them would be speculation.

  • 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.

  • I have one iPhone 8GB. after making upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use the iPhone. There's no service! doesn't acept the code PIN! it only make emergency calls and the image in the phone is to conect to iTunes.What can i do?

    I have one iPhone 8GB. After making un upgrade of iTunes and software of iPhone, it's impossible to use it. There's no service! doesn't acept PIN code! it only makes emergency calls and the image in the iPhone is the sign to connect to iTunes. What can i do to solve it?

    Where are you and where did you get the phone.  This sounds like a classic symptom of someone who bought an iPhone that originated in the U.S. which was then hacked so it would run on a carrier network other than AT&T... Then, when updating the phone, it becare re-locked to AT&T.
    If that's what happened, you now own a paperweight. AT&T will NOT unlock them for any reason.
    If this isn't the case, please clarify where you are, what carrier you have and where you got the phone so we can begin troubleshooting.

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • My pc cannot connect to iphone 4 using bluetooth,says no bluetooth driver.

    my pc cannot connect to iphone 4 using bluetooth,says no bluetooth driver.

    What exactly are you trying to achieve by connecting via bluetooth? If you have a tethering plan, that's the only thing that's supported via bluetooth to a computer. It cannot sync or transfer files via bluetooth. Those are not features of the iPhone.

  • Hi my iphone 3gs wifi, bluetooth and imei not working

    hi my iphone 3gs wifi, bluetooth and imei not working

    Do you have modified software installed on your device?
    If not, try to set it up as new device, explained here, without using the latest backup afterwards, in case it is containing corrupt data.

    If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced, there might be a hardware problem.

  • My Ipad 1 suddenly does not see my iphone 4 on bluetooth

    from one minute to the other my Ipad will not any more recognize the Iphone in the bluetooth mode.
    both are enabled. I reseted ipad, restored it from the backup via itunes. but nothing changed.
    I am not amused !
    Anybody out in the world who had this problem?

    Try something very simple .... quit iTunes, reboot the iPad and then restart the Mac and try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They haveBluetooth turned on but will not find each other.

    How can I link my iPad Air and iPhone 4s via Bluetooth, please?  They both have Bluetooth turned on but will only search and find nothing. The words 'Now Discoverable' appear under the search panel.

    for the devices to find each other via Bluetooth you would need to turn on the iPhones cellular hotspot and then let them search for each other. As far as I have found this Bluetooth connection is only for connecting the iPad to internet via iPhones data plan.
    To transfer photos you could setup a new photo stream and put the photos you want transferred in it. When it syncs to the iPad you can save directly to the camera roll and delete the photo stream. You may also be able to delete the photos old photos and re-add them to photo stream so it looks like they are new to the iPad.
