Win8 - Bluetooth Audio Connection

Hi everyone,
its day five with Win8 and the next Problem occurs.
In Win7 i installed Bluetooth and connected my Windowsphone7 without ANY Problems, using my X230 for making calls with the setting headset and speakerphone:

Now in Windows8 the option headset and speakerphone does not appear ANY MORE.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABE. Is this a Problem of the Thinkpad's Bluetooth 4.0 Stack?
It may be a Problem of Win8 but I'm not sure.
Up to now, i can STREAM Audio from my Phone to the Computer (holy crap who needs this) but using it for calls... no way, because the phone wont be recognized as in Win7. So now bluetooth has become useless in my Thinkpad.
I really dont know if there will be any solution, but I'm posting for x230 Users to be careful when upgrading to Win8.
There will be much more problems you expect...
best regards
Christian

When you say always, do you mean that it works sometimes?
I suggest that you make sure that you're using the latest firmware in both phone and Bluetooth device.
Or try to reinstall the firmware.

  • Mac mini bluetooth audio connection stops when paused

    Hello!
    I have a Mac mini late 2012, i5 Version, 2.5Ghz as my home Desktop. The OS is 10.9.5 Mavericks.
    It's connected to a Logilink Bluetooth to 30 pin dock connector adapter, standing on an Apple Dock, connected to my Home Stereo. My Problem is, that everytime i pause the audio on my mini, the bluetooth connection just stops, and if i press play again, it plays through my internal speaker again.
    I temporarily fixed this by playing a 10hour version of a song with 0 volume on itunes, but this shouldn't be a long-time solution.
    I tried it with another bluetooth adapter, another dock, another home stereo. The issue probably is Mavericks, with it's awesome bluetooth settings, connect or don't connect.
    Is there any program out there which sets the connection to permanent? Or is there an other solution?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    (Sorry for poor english. If you don't understand something, i could explain it in german!)

    Ah, no joy, as suspected...I'm using Boot Camp version 4 and all i got was a flash drive full of boot camp version 3.1 - 3.3?  A few firmware upgrades that says it isn't compatible...
    IS THERE ANYONE AT APPLE THAT CAN HELP!!!
    Jesus! I bought this a week ago and I can't even get audio!  If this is the kind of service coming from Apple then I don't know...

  • RE: Bluetooth Audio Connections Real or Imagined?

    On New Yew Year's Eve I offered to do a French Quarter music mix to match the cuisine. My idea was to run Rhapsody play lists thru my iPhone 4s into a Miccus BlueBridge adapter which has a micro out which I ran a audio "RCA" y-cable into the Aux inputs of my friends audio system. I also wanted to use my Jawbone Jambox speaker to play in the kitchen. It seems that the process was either or. When the second Bluetooth device was connected (it didn't matter which) it cancelled out the first. Hmmmm. Then ran the micro to RCA from the iPhone's headphone jack (micro) and that cancelled out the bluetooth streaming. Ideally it would be tre cool to stream to a couple of bluetooth devices and/or a bluetooth stream and audio connect. Is this doable? Here are links to the equipment:

        DLD28 We absolutly understand the importance of hands free driving! Since the update, your phone will function better but there may be a few quirks at first. Try to unpair the devices and pwer off the phone. Next, remove the sim then reinstall and retest.

  • Bluetooth audio connected - no sound.  Ever since updating to software 5 .1   But wifes older iPad 1 on 4.2 still works. Exactly the same with my iPhone also running latest software update 5.1.1.  Could this be a bug with the new release?

    I have a Bluetooth receiver transmitter by Brookstone attached  to the home stereo that we use to connect via bluetooth and play music from Pandora etc. From our iPhones or iPad. It has worked flawlessly until I updated the software on my iPad and iPhone to 5.1.1. .  It still is able to connect but there is no sound.  When we use my wifes iPad 1 which is still running s/w 4.1 there is no such problem. Anyone else seen this and know  a fix?

  • Blackberry Q10 - Bluetooth Audio gone / Contacts not shown in HUB

    Dear Blacberry Community,
    I have some questions regarding my Blackberry Q10, that I use since not even a year.
    1. If I buy a mobile phone from a company that wants to be the star in the business world, why do I have to solve any issues with the help from other users? That the company that produces the product is not able to fix it themselves may be part of the problems...
    2. After my last recovery action the phone does not show the name for some specific contacts in the Hub, though caller ID and contacts entry is ok. Still, the Hub only shows only the number.
    3. After an OS software update the phone occassionally failed to contact to my car via bluetooth to play audio files - The hands-free speakerphone always worked and works! But I used to play the MP3 files stored on my phone via bluetooth on the cars stereo system. Similar problem like this.
    Sometimes it works, sometimes the option Bluetooth Audio was not available in the cars built-in stereo.
    After finding no solution in the internet I decided to re-install the phone software. After recovering the phone (and loosing half of the contacts that magically got lost during the backup process, and picking up problem no.2) it worked ok - until it started again, getting worse day by day. Sometimes the music started, but on the phone, not on the car speaker.
    Then came the new software update to 10.2.1.2977.
    Instead of the anticipated fix this update did something unexpected. Now, the Bluetooth Audio function does not work at all, never. I already deleted the bluetooth connection with the car, and reinitiated it, but no change. Phone works, Audio doesn't.
    Which basically means that I do not use the audio function anymore. Which I consider a cool statement, such as driving a Mercedes S-Class, but you can't give the three blondes on the curbside a lift, because at the last inspection the Mercedes workshop accidently removed the rear bench - and then asked you to ask other Mercedes drivers to install it back in.
    Bluetooth Audio connection to bluetooth speakers works, though.
    Anybody a good idea? I'm reluctant to re-install the phone again, since it damaged as much as it fixed last time. And didn't last long.
    How about a software update that, for a change, fixes the problem, instead of creating it?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issues.
    My NEW Q10 will work fine for phone connection in my Hyundai Elantra GT(2013). It will connect via bluetooth to similarly enable speakers(Altec theJacket - not the XL) but NO AUDIO through the connected speakers!!! This is quite frustrating. The manual says it supports about a dozen 'profiles'. The Q10 supports APT-X technology, but not many speaker manufacturers support this. The Altec XL-Jacket is twice the price of theJacket. 
    When will BB fix the audio streaming problem? This is a major nuiscence! 

  • Bluetooth audio in 2013 audi a5 not working after ios 8.2 update

    after updating to new ios 8.2 my 6 plus bluetooth audio connection fails. was fine before update. its for a 201
    3 audi a5

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Magic Trackpad causing Bluetooth audio interference

    Was having intermittent bluetooth audio connection problems; on/off; and realized the cause was the new Magic Trackpad I had just set up. When it's bluetooth connected; it will interfere with my other bluetooth audio reception.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Update: Disconnecting my Magic Mouse ended the interference; I wonder if the two are not able to run together?

    Crosspost from the thread specified above:
    I am experiencing a problem like this one.
    I have a Motorola DC800 A2DP gateway and a Magic Mouse. Music sounds perfectly until I connect the mouse through BT: at this point, audio will only sound for 1 second and then it will stop and remain silent.
    I have tried resetting preferences, etc. and now I know there is a conflict between these devices: as soon as I disconnect the mouse, music starts coming through again.
    This is very very annoying...if anyone knows of a workaround so I can use them both simultaneously I would really appreciate if it is posted here.
    Thanks,

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • IPhone 4 bluetooth iPod or app audio connection to car sterio not working

    My iPhone 4 handsfree connection works fine with my car sterio as well as the usb connection for iPod audio. However, I can't get the bluetooth audio to work for the iPod music nor Navigation app.with car sterio. Should I be able to connect my iPhone 4 iPod audio to my car sterio via bluetooth? How?

    This fuction worked great on the iphone 3gs with iOS 3.x.... after iOS4 came out it doesn't auto connect anymore in my truck (pioneer unit). I can force them to pair via A2DP but it would be nice if Apple brought back the auto connect that worked last year.

  • Why does my computer keep trying to connect to a bluetooth audio device that doesn't exist?

    For some reason, whenever I have my bluetooth on to use my Magic Mouse, every six minutes or so I get an error saying that my bluetooth is having issues connecting to a bluetooth audio device. I do have a Bluetooth Audio device, but it stays at home and is only on when I am watching movies. This happens all the time, even when I am at work, and even when I tell it to stop using the device.
    My kernel.log reads the following:
         kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8015766a00]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (1,450)->(2,654).
         kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8015766a00]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (2,450)
    Does anyone know what is going on?

    Make sure the device isn't selected in the Sound preference pane.

    Many thanks.

    Its the new bluetooth stacks driver that was included with the new OS, if your stereo is a older model it does not have the supported drivers to communicate to the device, this is common with upgrades, older hadware has to be updated in order to add the support needed for the newer hardware, its like placing a 50 inch tv on a vga video card that only supports 800x600 resolutions, it may work but wont function correctly....  
    Your stereo should be able to use the handsfree connection from the device but all addition options wont function because of hardware limits.

  • Bluetooth on the 4S only makes an audio connection

    I've paired the iPhone's Bluetooth with several devices (two Blackberries) and an Alienware M11x (W7 Ultimate 64 bit), The 4S' Bluetooth will make an audio connection, but I have not been able to determine how to send a file (Photo) from or to the 4S.
    Any ideas how I can coax the 4S to transfer photos via Bluetooth?

    To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

  • IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio not working with stock Toyota radio

    I have a 2010 Toyota 4Runner Limited which has the premimum JBL radio in it.  Up until recently, I have had an iPhone 4 which worked well with both hands free phone features, along with Bluetooth Audio so I can stream my music from iTunes or Amazon Cloud Players.  I dont use the feature all the time, so I am not sure when it stopped working (after upgrading to IOS6 or upgrading to an iPhone 5) but bluetooth audio no longer works.  I can still use the bluetooth phone features, but if I go to the bluetooth music tab on my stereo, it states that the portable player is not connected. Siri also works fine through bluetooth, as it it can read my text messages, ask and answer questions through the car stereo, though I cannot make an outgoing call with Siri because after it shuts off siri and starts to dial, my stereo disconnects. 
    I know Apple updated the bluetooth, but you would think the new version would be backwards compatible, right?  Is there a plan from Apple to fix this, because I am sure Toyota isnt going to update the firmware on their stereos just to fix an issue with one phone...

    Actually, as an update, mine is now working (the BlueTooth Audio part, Siri still cannot place calls).
    I have done this on my first (now smashed) iPhone 5 and my new iPhone 5.  It takes a lot of trial and error, but you can get it to work.
    First thing is with the iPhone 4, all I had to do was connect the phone in the phone connect screen and it just worked for both.  Not so with the 5.  With the 5, I have to register it both in the Audo Settings> Bluetooth Audio Settings menus as well as the phone settings on the radio.  I didnt know there were two different connections with two different pins.  (0000 and 1212).  I forget which one you have to connect first, but again, I tried it so many times both installs and it eventually worked.  It may be easier to change the name of either the Phone or Bluetooh Audio name from Car Multimedia, so the iPhone can easily connect to one or the other, but I left them both with the same name.  I can now play music, and when the phone rings, automatically swaps over to that one.
    Play with it and you will get it to work.  If I have time, i will remove it and do it again and write down the steps.
