Soundlink Bluetooth Connection Fix Found

For all you Soundlink owners who can't pair with your iphone Bose has released a software update. You'll have to connect your Soundlink via usb to your computer and got to site owners.bose.com/soundlinkmobile and then visit Bose system update center. I just went through the process and works great. PS if you can't get to a comp you can hold down the bluetooth button on the Soundlink 10 sec and then the mute button for 10 secs then you should be able to pair. Cheers PSS iPad 1 will not pair with soundlink - doesn't have firmware if you're trying...

FYI. I have a iPad I and I was able to get it to pair with the soundlink. I did have to hold the Bluetooth button down until it paired. One issue is I now have to do that everytime I want to switch between my I phone and iPad.

HT6572 Bluetooth connectivity fixed in 10.10.1?

Wondering if Bluetooth connectivity and performance is fixed in OS X Yosemite 10.10.1? I still have issues before updating that include my apple keyboard + magic Trackpad randomly disconnecting, input lag, and disappearing profiles in the bluetooth preference pane.
My machine is a late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 15". I use it in clamshell mode connected to an external display via a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.
I occasionally run the machine open in this configuration, with the power cable detached in order to power cycle the battery, as I've heard it is bad to leave the power cable always connected. The Bluetooth issues are more prevalent when operating on battery power for the macbook pro.

I'm having issues now after the update with my Magic mouse that I never experienced before. It seems if now when I put my laptop to sleep (ex. close lid or just timeout) when I re-open or start my laptop I have no connection to the paired mouse. The little green light on the bottom of the mouse blinks twice real fast.
Now the only way I can restore mouse function is to remove it from the bluetooth profile, wait til it sees it when searching and re-pair the mouse.
This is very annoying and frustrating as sometimes it will not find the mouse when searching for bluetooth devices until I restart my computer. I really hope they fix this soon as it occurs everyday now.

Motorola RAZR v3i - Bluetooth connection fixed in 10.4.7 ???

I bought a Motorola v3i (firmware version R479G08.B4.34R) some weeks ago. I was not able to create a connection via bluetooth with my Powerbook (Mac OS X 10.4.6). After some days I gave the v3i back to the dealer, because it was useless for me. Does someone know if the bluetooth connection is fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.7 ??? Please let me know your v3i firmware version in your answer. Thanks!

I have a V3i with the exact same firmware, and prior to the 10.4.7 update could only pair my phone via bluetooth but not use any services. Since the update I can sync, file transfer and connect to the internet all via bluetooth. Seems someone has sorted something out somewhere. Hope this helps.

E71 Bluetooth connection Not found

I'm trying to connect my computer to my phone. When Ovi searches it finds my phone then when I click to connect it searches and seaches and tells me this:
"Bluetooth modem might need to be installed on your computer."
Then after awhile it says it failed to connect.
I'm able to send files from my computer to my phone using Bluetooth. But not when I'm in the Nokia Ovi Suite program.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

i have same problem also. Toshiba Satellite A300 2D4 Windows 7 x64 SP1 Toshiba Bluetooh stack v.8.00.02 with Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.290. There is no problem with PC Suite 7.1 but we cannot use the Nokia Maps on the PC Suite.

I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet?

I can't connect my I-Phone 6 to my car Bluetooth, any fixes yet? I just updated with the new update this morning. My I-Phone 5s had no problem connecting to car Bluetooth.

Hi Denisefromjoetowm,
When you attempt to connect your iPhone 6 to your car via Bluetooth, how far does it get?
Glad you updated your iPhone. There are other things to test for, see:

Take care,

Possible fix for car unit Bluetooth connectivity problems (it fixed mine)

Ok, I understand this only fixed my particular problem, so it may not work with every Bluetooth head unit.
I have a Pioneer deh-p7000bt and it worked beautifully with my iPhone 3GS.
Once I got my iPhone 4 I restored it from a backup of my 3GS. I had continual problems. I synced it and it would disconnect within minutes. This would happen everyday so I just gave up.
Yesterday I was playing around with my head unit. I DELETED any previously synced phones from my head unit. I also told my iPhone to forget my head unit. After deleting any traces of my older iPhone and new iPhone, I resynced my iPhone 4.
This time it stayed connected and reconnected automatically even after rebooting and restarting my car. Problem solved.
It may have something to do with the head unit being confused about the iPhone hardware.... Possibly from restoring it from a backup of the previous phone you had already synced to the unit.
Try this, it worked for me. Maybe it won't work for you.
Thanks,
John

I too have had problems with Bluetooth connectivity, with my wife's IPhone 5C, since updating to IOS 8 and now 8.02. I have a 2013 Honda Accord with factory updated firmware. Everything worked flawlessly before the IPhone update, but now the phone will connect to the car but I get error messages saying the contact list cannot be imported. I deleted everything, started over, still does not work. I also have a Motorola Moto X with the latest Android build and Bluetooth connects automatically, works flawlessly and the contact list always imports when I enter the car, so it is definitely not a problem with the car's system. I thought Apple products were superior to all else... I will be switching my wife to an Android phone if Apple continues to ignore the problem. She needs this to work for safety reasons, since she works out of the car.

I've just updated my iPhone and now I can't connect to my Bose soundlink Bluetooth speaker. Is this due to the update or is it my speaker?

New OS to Fix Bluetooth Connectivity?

Is there a new OS that will fix the Bluetooth Connectivity issue?

There is no "bluetooth connectivity issue". Get out the manual for your car. If it was previously paired, delete the pairing from both the car and the phone and re-boot both. Then, re-pair them.
Try pairing the phone with another hands free device. If that works, and you still can't pair it with the car, go see your dealer.

IPhone 5S loose connection with soundlink bluetooth bose

The iPhone 5S loose the connection with the soundlink Bluetooth Bose ? When I connect iPhone 4 with the some device there is no problem.
Do you know if there is some solutions ?
Thank you very much
Zampilla

Not a generic issue ,my iPhone 5S works with Sounddock 10, soundlink and soundlink mini all perfect
Check to see if you have too many paired devices on Bose and sometimes you can only pair with one device at a time

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.

Desktop Software for PC - Windows 7 Bluetooth Connection

Hi All,
Here's what I've got hardware wise Software all updated on all below..
BlackBerry 9900
Desktop PC with no Bluetooth built in
USB Bluetooth and Drivers
When installing the Bluetooth USB and it's drivers I don't get any option to allow Bluetooth connections the box is grayed out. In turn I can't sync the phone or do anything. I think this is more of a Windows Driver problem but just wondering if anyone else is having the same trouble and found a fix
Many thanks

Anyone else still having iOS 8.1 Bluetooth Connection issues.

Hi there just wanted to see if anyone is still having the Vehicle "Hands Free" Connection issues via Bluetooth on the iPhone 6? I drive a 2009 Acura TL and I am still having the connection issue. Oddly enough before the 8.1 update I was running 8.0.2 and it worked fine. Now when I get in my car and the phone connects it cripples the entire system. It won't allow me to change to the USB mode for my connected iPod and when I try to place a call via the "Hands Free" system it beeps as if it is activating and then does nothing.
I have tried everything that I can think of with no results. I was hoping there was someone out there with the same car or similar having the same problem that might have found a fix. Chime in and let me know.

I am having similar problems with Bluetooth connectivity but not with a car. I use a Planatronics Legend. Everytime that a call comes in, my Legend announces the call then immediately disconnects from my iPhone. All of this started after upgrading to ios 8.1.
Apple should not advertise fixes to problems without truly confirming the repairs.

Bluetooth connection slowing down Wifi connection

I have seen few discussions here about this topic but I haven't found the right solution to my problem.
So each time I turn on the Bluetooth connection the wifi connection becomes really slow. I am using the Bluetooth connection mostly for my external keyboard.
I am using Maverick 10.9.2 OS.
I read somewhere that the problem occurs because of the frequency range that my wifi and bluetooth are using, currently both are using 2.4 Ghz.
However, I am not able to change the frequency from my pocket wifi router (from 2.4 to 5 Ghz) which could solve the problem.
Any ideas, is there any other solution to this problem?
I guess I could just buy a USB keyboard instead Bluetooth but it's not ideal.

Unfortunately, it's a problem that's been going on for years (at least 4) and I've yet to find a satisfactory answer.
It shouldn't be a problem with the 2.4GHz range - but you could always test this, of course, by purchasing a dual band router. I have one of the 5th generation Apple Extreme's and it works quite well (though, if I were buying now, I would upgrade to the newest AE).
My only other suggestion would be to take your MacBook Pro into your local Apple Store and see if they know how to fix the problem.
Best of luck,
Clinton

MDR-10RBT - Bluetooth connection - microphone sounds like I am 100 miles away

MDR-10RBT - Bluetooth connection -
I have got these headphones connection to my laptop and they are showing up as connected as both a A2DP device and also a hands free headphone.
I have directed Skype to use the hands free device for the microphone but it sounds like I am stuck in a box 100 miles from the microphone.
Anyone else had this problem or have any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks
Phil

Bluetooth Connectivity Issues Resolved

It took me a bit of time to sort these two things out, so just want to share:
Problem is Bluetooth connectivity to PC so that I can use the Desktop Manager:
Using: Windows XP PRO, SP3 - Blackberry 8220 Pearl flip
1) The first issue had to do with ANY Bluetooth connectivity to the synchronization program (Desktop Software). I was actually told by the carrier tech services folks that it just wouldn't work right, so connect via USB.
After a LOT of research, what I found is this: Blackberry connectivity only wanted to recognize the Windows NATIVE Bluetooth connector. I was using something else a lot more powerful, and that worked on everything else I tried... but not with the Blackberry synch software. I uninstalled the 3rd party connector and just ran the Windows version and everything worked perfectly immediately.
I do not know whether this is still the case, but it absolutely was the problem less than 1-year ago. I found the clues in some of the Blackberry Support Knowledge Base info. (Clue only.)
2) Just today, and what prompted this note is a different issue. I recently upgraded to Blackberry Desktop Software version 4.6.0.180, and guess what? The Bluetooth connectivity again would not work. Again, everything looked great. The program could see the phone OK, but it would not connect to allow sync with the application.
Answer is this: The upgrade opened two ports in my Windows Firewall (which makes sense)... but it did not erase or delete the previous open port settings. What I found was this:
(Under Firewall Exceptions)
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service data transfer TCP - Port 4482
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service data transfer TCP - Port 4481
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service discovery UDP - Port 4482
BlackBerry Desktop Software music sync service discovery UDP - Port 4481
So... The Firewall didn't know what to do because it had the same 2 ports opened under exceptions as both UDP and TCP for the same port numbers. (i.e., Port 4482 as BOTH UDP and TCP)
The fix was simple... just delete the opposing exceptions so that "...Data Transfer" was TCP on Port 4481, and "...Service Discovery" was UDO on Port 4482. (Doesn't matter which, just that one is on a different port than the other.)
How? Open the Windows Security Center -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions Tap -> Scan down until you find the two applications above. By highlighting and clicking EDIT you can determine what port numbers are assigned and make the fix by deleting opposing assignments as mentioned.
Sorry for this verbose message, but this was a hassle for me, and I hope it helps someone else before they either give up or start tearing away their hair in frustration.
(NOTE: This is my first post here, so if this should be located in another area please do send it there or let me know what I should do.)

So, this is interesting. I appreciate the post.
I, too, had issues with Bluetooth connectivity with DM 4.x. I ttried many times, even had the native Windows drivers installed, and all worked except that the ability to select the BT option in DM was greyed out and not available. Is this the problem you had and that this fix solved? I never did figure it out and subsequently reloaded Windows after a HDD crash and it's worked after that.
I currently have DM6 and haven't even bothered with Bluetooth on the PC because it's always been more trouble than it's worth. I do have the 4 entries in the Windows Firewall as you describe but my Windows Firewall is turned off (don't remember if it was turned on before but i don't think so).
