Torch 9860 stopped pairing with Mercedes C180

My BB9860 stopped suddenly pairing with my MB car. it keeps ringing endlessly when cnnecting via bluetooth. Other phones (HTC, iPhone) can pair with the same car.
I am running the latest softwares from RIM.

  • IPhone 4S stopped pairing with my 2007 Mini Cooper 4S

    I'm an IT guy of 15 years. I have been on several deployment teams for PDA, then Smart Phones. Recently my iPhone 4S stopped pairing with my 2007 Mini Cooper 4S. I went through the gauntlet trying to get this issue solved including but not limited to the following.
    Trying to pair my wife's brand new iPhone 4S to the same Mini Cooper! (DID NOT WORK EITHER!)
    Resetting network settings. (Did not work)
    Wiping my iphone 4 and restoring it. (Did not work)
    Called Apple support and they offered me a new phone. (A new phone is not going to fix the problem if my wife's brand new iPhone 4S will not pair either)
    Successfully paired another phone (Droid) to my car.
    My 15 inch MacBook Pro can see my iPhone 4S but my iPhone cannot see my Macbook Pro either!
    There is a huge amount of complaints on the internet regarding the latest bluetooth update with IOS 5.1.1, people are having the same issue with bluetooth dropping pairing with their automobiles!
    Apple let it slip on the phone that they are aware of this issue.
    My phone worked fine until IOS update 5.1.1 I may try to restore back to an earlier IOS.
    My phone worked for a few months with bluetooth and was a little flaky since getting the 4S it worked much much better with the iPhone 4. When I got the iPhone 4S that's when spotty issues with the bluetooth became noticible including the system dropping on calls and reverting back to the handset vs the speaker system. I had to apologize to several customers while on the phone. I thought I was doing something wrong, but realize now that this phone has issues with the bluetooth.
    In closing I would like to simply say that if this iPhone 4S does have hardware problems then Apple is going to have a lot of ticked off people because it's a hardware problem with the design in general and they will have an iPhone recall or suit on their hands. Because I can assure you this is a bluetooth problem with every iPhone 4S, it's not a coincidence that my wife's iPhone 4S with the same 5.1.1 IOS will not pair with my car either. So for Apples sake I hope this iPhone bluetooth issue can be fixed with an update! Best of luck Apple. I'm not going to beat up on you guys because I am diehard Apple and I love your products, but please fix this issue. We have phone ordinance laws in various burbs in Cleveland and they will fine you for talking on your handset.

    Well the good news is all that fell on deaf ears we are all users here not Apple
    The clue is in the User Communities title
    It is not the responsibility of Apple to ensure EVERY item in the world is compatible
    which is why goes to great lengths to share iOS changes and hardware with any "Developer"
    that is interested Including BMW/Mini and every other Auto manufacturer
    Have you called in at your Mini Dealer to check if they have a Bluetooth update
    If they haven't ask why not ,technology is moving forward daily
    and clearly if they do not keep up you will have problems
    Expect a charge it is Apple that gives free updates to their customers

  • Iphone paired with Mercedes bluetooth system

    Having just paired my iphone with the in-car system in a new Mercedes there seems to be no way of transferring the phone contacts list into the car system as you would expect with other phones. If anyone has achieved this I would be interested to hear of it

    I created this account just to respond to your question. After spending countless hours searching the internet and testing at the Mercedes dealer, I discovered that almost always this is related to the model of Mercedes bluetooth module(with the exceptions being defective model or outdated firmware for phone).
    The most recent model of the mercedes bluetooth module is 'B67875878'. (located on the bottom of the device) Some dealers carry this and some carry previous versions. I was skeptical myself when I first heard this, however after purchasing the above model, my entire address book uploaded without hesitation. My experience with previous models left me with half of an address book (A-M).
    Good news / Bad news
    I know that is not the answer that you would prefer, however you can sell your adapter on ebay and upgrade for about $50 more if you do a little searching. If you are anything like me $50 is an easy/chip fix considering the original cost of the adapter.
    Now if I can only get my vehicle's microphone working properly! =) Best of luck to you.

  • How come my iphone 5 with 6.1.4 no longer pairs with Uconnect on my brand new 2013 car?

    Three months ago I puchased a new car with Uconnect.  The dealership paired the phone but now it no longer pairs.  I called apple support and also Uconnect.  Both feel that there might be a version problem with 6.1.4.  My guess is that I probably updated the apple software and that is probably when it stopped pairing with Uconnect.  The phone does work with other devices I pair with.  I am certainly not very happy that I cannot use my older apple iphone 5 in this new car any longer.  Can anyone help me?  I feel like I am caught inbetween apple and the dealership with no solution in sight.
    Thanks
    Sky

    Hi Mario, thanks for your reply.  I have upgraded my Iphone 5 to the latest 7.0 software but I still cannot connect to Uconnect on my 2013 Dodge.
    Again my Iphone worked when I first purchased the car but no longer will connect.  At least after installing the 7.0 version on my iphone, Unconnect did ask me for the name of my phone and to say a pairing number but right after it asked me for the number the pairing failed.  It did not provide a paring number to me like when I first paired the phone.  Is it possible that it wants to know the orginial pairing number that I used for my Iphone?  I justed used four zeros since I don't remember the numbers I first used.  By way I had deleted my iphone before doing this so I don't think the pairing number is a problem.  I think it is something else.   By the way my Iphone will pair with other blue tooth devices.   Any additional ideas? 
    I guess it is possible that Uconnect is not keeping up with the Iphone versions but I hope is not the case.
    Cheers Loran

  • N8 not pairing with bluetooth headset when connect...

    I have a weird issue!
    My N8 connects to my bluetooth headset and functions flawlessly usually. But whenever I connect my N8 via bluetooth to my PC it stops pairing with the headset. The moment it connects with the PC, the headset icon appears in my N8, despite it not having paired the headset.
    This issue is nagging me for quite some time. Any suggestions please...

    I'm running a bit on thin here but let's see.
    It might be possible that your N8 thinks the PC is acting as an audio device to your N8. Have you tried what happens when you have the connection establised over BT and you start playing music on the N8 or there's an incoming call? If the music is played through the N8 speakers or you can take a call, then audio is not routed through your PC.

  • MacBook Pro will not pair with any Bluetooth device

    Last night my MacBook Pro stopped pairing with any bluetooth device (I've tried Apple Pro Wireless Keyboard, Wireless Mighty Mouse, Logitech MX900 mouse, Apple Aluminum Wireless Keyboard) and it simply won't pair with anything.
    It sees each device but when it tries to pair it fails. With the keyboards, sometimes it'll give me the passkey to type on the keyboard but then it doesn't recognize that I've actually typed it and hit enter. Eventually I just end up with:
    "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your keyboard is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." When ready, click Continue to try again."
    I've reinstalled 10.5.6 Combo update, tried to pair under a different user account, turned off/on bluetooth, and still nothing.
    I did install VMWare Fusion last night and briefly shared the Bluetooth connection to that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.
    Any suggestions?

    Me too. sigh
    All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
    Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
    Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
    One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
    Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?
    Puzzled and frustrated,

  • 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.

  • Apple Wireless Mouse has suddenly stopped pairing

    HI everyone,
    My Apple Wireless mouse (it's pretty old) has just stopped pairing with my PowerBook G4. When I try to pair it, it shows onscreen that the pairing is succesful and I have a full battery bar, but the mouse itself stops "flashing" and when I try to move it, I get the "Connection Lost" message.
    Changed fresh batteries, no new devices in house, disconnected all USB cables. Basically tried all the things recommended in other posts with no luck. (There's a post recommending to check the antenna...erm, I have no idea where an antenna might be...if anyone would be so kind ?)
    Just wanted to know if there are any solutions or is it time to get a new mouse. Oh yes, mouse model number A1015 if that helps at all?
    Thanks!

    Hello shaz:
    You have tried the things I would suggest. You might take the mouse to an Apple store to see if it works on another computer.

  • Torch 9860 - Problem with wifi network

    Hi,
    I have a BB Torch 9860 and the internet access doesn´t work properly when connected to a wifi connection.
    With my carrier data plan, everything works. Every time i connecto to a wifi connection, the internet access stops working. I tried to clean all registered networks, added new networks, everything i can remember of, but nothing works. The only way to get internet access on my phone, is with the carrier´s data plan.
    Is this some kind of bug or software block?
    I serched through the forum, and tried some of the solutions and sugestions, but nothing works.
    The only satisfied part with this purchase so far is my carrier who seems to be very happy with the access through their data plan!
    Can anyone give me a hand on this subject?
    Thanks,
    Rui

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Not knowing what you already found and attempted, we risk redundancy...nevertheless, with that risk...
    With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support. In very rare cases, I have heard of carriers blocking the use of BIS via WiFi...but only they (your carrier) can answer as to if that is what they are doing.
    Oh...wait...another though...a bit of a wild one...please check this:
    Article ID: KB30076 How to check for an IT Policy on a BlackBerry smartphone
    If you have an IT Policy and are on BES, then talk to your BES admins about if they may perhaps be blocking this. If you have an IT Policy but are not on BES, then you have much bigger problems to deal with...you will need to backup your device, conduct a ResetToFactory, and then restore your device (but ONLY partial...do not do a full restore or it will put the IT Policy back on and you'll be right back where you started).

  • Lots of trouble with BB Torch 9860.

    Hello. Right, I have the Torch 9860, had for several months & getting a lot of grief. Here goes...
    1 - Battery life is inconsistent - Can last all day most days, but other days can go down 90% within 10 minutes of use.
    2 - Software - When I first got the phone, within a week of using, the phone wouldn't load on the BlackBerry loading screen, it got to 3/4's of the way and then stopped. Solution I found was to hold the back key down to load in a 'safe mode.'
    3 - Seperate issue, I was on Youtube one night and I pressed to open a video & my phone turned off. When loading again, issue 2 happened, but rather than staying on this, it went to 'Error 102, Reload software.' which I did via BB Desktop Software.
    4 - Constant black timer loading, can be doing anything on any screen with nothing open & it will just load for about 20 seconds.
    5 - Similar to number 4, pressing the standby button, black screen. I know the phone is on, because it flashes. I will hold the standby button again, nothing. I press the power off (End call) button, nothing, it then comes on with 'Handheld turning off, press any key to cancel.'
    6 - The speed of opening anything. Isn't this device meant to have a super fast processor? Doesn't for me. Everything I open takes time. Texts, BBM, Camera.
    7 - My calls don't work. I'll ring anyone and it says 'Connected' with the time displayed. no sound. I put it on loudspeaker, nothing. Headphones in, again nothing. I end up doing a battery pull and it works for a while then cuts off during a call.
    With all this, I have done a software update, I've done a back up. I've done a lot of different things. I just felt I needed to come on here to fix this.
    BB Torch 9860 - 7.1 Bundle 1149 (V7.1.0.342, Platform 5.1.0.276)

    Thanks.

    Hello...and apologies for the delayed reply!
    Hopefully you already have this resolved, but just in case...I suggest you do a clean and controlled OS reload, using the process outlined later down in this post...
    At the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Unable to receive email in HTML format on BB Torch 9860 with BIS

    I recently purchased BB Torch 9860 with OS 7 and configured by personal and work email on BIS. I am receiving emails only in text format. In some emails with images that have hyperlink, I just see a link and images not displayed. All the images comes as an attachment in the email. My friend having another BB Torch is able to view emails as HTML. But he is with BES. 
    Is there any solution for my issue? I am not receiving any options in the email preference to enable HTML format for emails.
    Appreciate if anyone could help me with this.

  • I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

    I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

    One possibility: 
    How do you know it is searching for other devices?  Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?
