My 4S Bluetooth stopped pairing to my Ford Explorer after i updated to ios 8.0.2

I have a 4S, it has been able to talk to my ford explorer no problem until i updated to ios 8.0.2
Now when i pair it, i get "in Privacy" on my ford sync screen and a timer is running. This is as if i was in a private call on my phone ( ie not using the car speakers)
I cannot end the call or change it at all.
The only way to stop the " in privacy" is to turn off bluetooth on my phone and use it normally.
Safety is a big concern for me as i am driving for example: tomorrow, from houston to dallas and back. This is not the quality of software i expect from a premium device.

  • Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini after ios7 update

    Bluetooth stopped working on my ipad mini and my iphone 5 after I updated to ios 7. My Ipad 4 which is not updated can't  see them either. Samsung devices can see them but not connect and they can't see each other. Help

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls after recent update

    When I updated my Bluetooth to iOS 6, the Bluetooth no longer works for incoming calls. I press button to answer call, it makes a small cracking noise, and then sends the call to my phone. I can use the Bluetooth for outgoing calls and it works just fine. I was hoping when I updated to iOS 6.0.1 that the problem would be fixed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth but that has not helped either. I am frustrated. I have a LG HBM-905 Bluetooth that I loved prior to this problem.

    Magically started working today after I synced.

  • My Icalendar stopped syncing with my Facebook calendar after I upgraded to IOS 7.0.3. Help please

    My new Facebook calendar events stopped appearing in my icalenar  after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3. How do I get my new facebook events on my calendar again?

    I am having the same problem. I have a normal iphone4 and when I upgraded to ios7, suddenly no one can hear me on calls. It works with speakerphone and on a headset, and I can play music normally. It has to be software, or else why would speakerphone work? My phone also functioned just fine before this upgrade and now my phone is useless as a phone.

  • My iPhone 4G won't pair to my Acura TL after an update. Others are also having the same proble. What is Apple's fix for this?

    My iPhone won't pair to my Acura TL's Bluetooth. It worked fine when i first got it, and my iPhone 3GS paired flawlessly. Other on the 'Net have posted that their 4G won't pair with Bluetooth devices after the 4.0 update. What is Apple's fix for this?

    Actually, I don't let the phone discharge as a matter of habit. But you know you cant always get the charger to the phone in time, especially if you leave the house for more than a few hours. So now and then the battery dies. And doesn't Apple recommend completely discharging then recharging the phone from time to time.
    Anyway, the network here is solid. Like I said, this is a problem since I updated to ios7 and only occurs when the battery is discharged. It's a phone issue, not a carrier one.

  • When I use Quicktime on my iphone 4S, it stops playing when screen locks now that I updated to iOS 7.  Is there a fix for this?

    I am utilizing a radio station app while doing this.  It used to work before the upgrade.  I could listen all day long, but know when the screen locks or when I hit the home button the station stops.

    You'll need to check on the web portal for the email provider as to whether they use POP, IMAP or both.
    If you are using POP, that protocol isn't designed for access from more than one device.
    The default behaviour for POP is to delete the messages from the server once the email has been downloaded to a PC. IMAP stores everything on the server and the client just caches a copy.

  • Android Samsung G4 and Ford Sync after latest update

    Hi,   After the latest update of Spotify on the 26 June, Spotify no longer seems to work with my Ford Sync system that it has been working fine for the last few months. When i say not working Spotify no longer appears in My mobile apps screen, I have tried to readd it but say no apps found also I have uninstalled form the phone and re-install but still no joy. Any one have any suggestions or has the same happened to them too.Regards,

     It seems like you have the same issue as me. My phone was broken and got Fixed, and returned to me yesterday. I downloaded Spotify and had to Update it straight away. As i'm going on holidays in 2 weeks i want to download all my numbers so I can listen offline to it. Somehow it's saying that i have to setup Sync on my mobile. My Sync is online, and when I go to my phone settings and then to accounts there doesn't stand Spotify. When I try to Add the Spotify account it can't find spotify.... I reallyy hope I can get a solution within time so I can listen my music on holidays :( Regards,

    Hey jel177!
    It seems like you may need to turn off your iTunes in the Cloud features and download or sync the songs manually to your phone. Here is a link that can help you adjust those settings:

  • After I updated to iOS 7.0.6 my email stopped working

    I can no longer send or receive email on my iPad mini and all my history is gone.  I've double checked all my email settings with my internet carrier and everything is correct.  I still get email on my computer and phone.  Any idea how to fix this?

    I would probably delete your mail ISP information and then set it up again (no guarantees, though).

  • Bluetooth stopped working after iOS 6 update, help!

    I use Bose Soundlink, and ever since i did the iOS 6, i can no longer connect to my Bose speaker. Its very frustrating! Does anyone know a fix or can someone at least tell me how to remove the update? Thanks SO much in advance!

    This is my first Internet posting ever, believe it or not. Figured if im going to post might as well do it to share some useful advice instead of personal dribble. I too just purchased the soundlink (literally yesterday) and iPad worked fine on iOS 6, but iPhone 4S was not syncing before or after the update to iOS 6. I just figured out how to connect the devices so follow directions carefully. Hard reset iPhone (hold lock + home button together for about 10s). Hold Bluetooth button on soundlink until you hear beep then let go. Now hold mute button until you hear beep then let go. Now turn iPhone back on, then turn on airplane mode. Press Bluetooth button once on soundlink, then turn on Bluetooth on iPhone. Should now be able to see device and pair. I think with wifi and cell on there are too many signals for the phone and it gets "confused" (lol). Not the most ideal solution for some, but I figure you bought the device for tunes and shouldn't care if you miss a call or two while listening. FYI, as i finish writing this i just realized my phone now can find the device consistently, regardless of whether or not airplane mode on. EFF YA I ROCK AND IT'S MY BDAY AT MIDNIGHT!!!  Hope this helps!

  • Can't pair N78 with Ford's native Bluetooth connec...

    I've recently bought a N78, when my 6234 started failing me. I never had any problems pairing it with Ford's bluetooth connection, which allowed me to make and receive calls. It became increasingly important as I travel by car a lot and now it's almost impossible to bear without. I've tried to pair my new N78, but it replies that it's impossible.
    I've tried updating the firmware on the phne and I had the most recent one installed just yesterday.
    It still does not work. Any ideas?
    Please help.

    What do you mean by not bein able to pair?
    If you search can they find eachother?
    Have paired any other device (a phone or a headset) with the phone?
    Maybe the bluetooth device in the phone is broken?

  • Bluetooth has stopped pairing

    Hi all, my 2gen Touch has stopped pairing with my Motorokr S9-HD headphones. The bluetooth control panel says it's connected but when I play music the sound comes out of the internal speaker, and the headphones light is red indicating that it is not connected. I've tried telling the iPod to forget the device, and then added it back, that didn't work. Then I turned Bluetooth off now when I call it up all I get it the word Bluetooth with the chasing dominos forever with it not giving me the on/off toggle. Could this be an iOS 4.0.2 problem. Would doing a reset take me back to the original OS? I really love folders but can live without them if this is going to be an ongoing issue from Apple. These headphones cost $150. and don't want to chuck them in the bin.
    Thanks for any help or commiseration.
    John

    Even I have the same headphones as yours and it works perfectly fine with my iPhone.
    Resetting just resets the settings......it doesn't remove your files or any other things. It's completely safe! Just to assure you, you already have the back up of your files on your iTunes in the computer which you sync your iPod to.
    Try doing this:
    1) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings
    2) Give it some time and your iPod will restart again.
    3) Switch off your headset power.
    4) Now when the iPod is all restarted, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth
    5) Wait for 1 minute or so and then switch on your headset. The blue light flashes on your headset I guess, right?
    6) The iPod should show the headset's name…..tap on it. Now the headset should show the green light and the iPod should be connected.

  • Logitech bluetooth keyboard stopped pairing w/ MacBookPro

    My Logitech K760 bluetooth keyboard paired/worked great until roughly June 2014, but ever since then it won't fully pair.  When I attempt to connect it seems successful until the end of the process when you're asked to enter a series of numbers to fully connect the keyboard.   It either keeps spinning and never connects, or after a minute it times out and says the pairing attempt was unsuccessful. 
    I've had multiple tech support calls with Logitech and the best they can tell me is that there must have been a "program update" on Apple's end that changed the keyboard's ability to connect.  I CAN connect just fine to my iphone 5 and my ipad, so I know the keyboard is fully operational.
    My MBP is mid-2009 running on OS X 10.6.8 (I'd previously upgraded to Mountain Lion and my hard drive failed. When serviced by Genius Bar I was told not to upgrade past Snow Leopard on my replacement hard drive since it wouldn't be able to handle a higher OS, and the upgrade is actually what caused my hard drive failure).
    Any suggestions or idea would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I got the same issue with my son's imac today. Tried everything as you have, inc pairing with my macbook. It recognised the keyboard as an other device but would not pair
