Bluetooth Problems

I had exactly the same problem with a Plantronics after upgrading to iOS4 - a simple power cycle (left it off for a minute) sorted me out and now I can connect. Its worth a try if you haven't done that already.

Similar problem here. I have been using my 3G with my Kenwood head unit for hands free for as long as I have had the phone- no issues (other phones, Blackberrys and WinMo as well). Things even worked a bit better after the iOS 4 upgrade. Enter the iPhone 4 and it can see the Bluetooth device, it just can't pair to it. I have reset the head unit (and phone for that matter) changed passwords, nada. I hope it is just software, and that it is fixed soon. I do a lot of business over the phone and in my car (sad, I know) while I am making my way through LA traffic, and to have to go back to speakerphone is truly disheartening, not to mention dangerous!

Not here, this is a user to user forum. If you want a response from apple directly, maybe call apple support.

Well, the mods tend to like to delete posts they don't like. 😉

;O)

I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to pair with my Contour SSC sun visor bluetooth speaker & it just sits there in continuos search mode & in the "Not paired" mode. This is ridiculous.

my 3g quit being able to connect to any blue-tooth device upon upgrading to ios4
very disappointed really i don't see why to post here no solutions are available
i am a smart phone repairman and an it pro and not very happy with new os
just my 2 cents worth

Another one here on Audi Q7, all older versions of iPhones use to work like a charm, iPhone 4 keeps on searching and searching....

Same problem here on 3Gs with iOS 4 installed. I am also having an issue of Bluetooth just randomly dropping my connection and I have also noticed on occasion that Bluetooth on the iPhone is mysteriously turned off. None of these issues were happening with 3.1.3, just started when I updated to iOS 4.

Same here. Jawbone isn't seen by i4.

Same as everyone else. I thought it was a problem with my Jawbone2. It was disconnecting from my phone when I upgraded the operating system on 3gs. I get nothing of Iphone. Very frustrating.

HI

I am having problems with my new iphone 4 bluetooth working with the Mercedes Command In Car Bluetooth which has been working with my iPhone 3.

Also when i go into the setings on the iPhone 4 and turn bluetooth on it just says Searching and has the "working" symbol, it never finds anything. Is there a work around or another setting to allow both devices to connect.

Another problem I am experiencing with the iPhone 4 is that it keeps turning itself off from time to time and after holding the on/off button and the home button for a while it resets itself.

Does anyone have any suggestions for these problems please?


Thanks

Same problem here. My iPhone 4 can't find my Jawbone or Backbeat headphones. It searches, but never finds them. Have tried unpairing and 'forgetting' from my old phone and have rebooted everything multiple times...very frustrating.

My bluetooth is acting funky since the upgrade too.

Audio is all garbled since the upgrade - basically unusable as it is now. Hope they get it fixed quickly.

A minor suggestion for those upgrading from 3G or 3GS phones, ensure you don't have bluetooth still enabled on the old phone and have it nearby, it will hog your headsets. I've noticed that the old phones seem to be able to steal the pairing away from the new phone, maybe the new phone is using a lower signal level.

This may also explain why I get so many audio cut-outs even after pairing successfully - the new iPhone 4 seems to have inadequate bluetooth signal strength.

I'm having the same problem. When I turn on bluetooth, it doesn't recognize any devices in proximity. I've never had a problem pairing my Jawbone headset before with my 3G. I work in a tech support call center where there are about 15 bluetooth devices within 50 feet of me at any given time. My iP4 saw none of them. My coworker, however, could see multiple devices within range with her blackberry. She could also see my iP4, although I couldn't see her phone on my screen! She then attempted to pair with mine and then I was prompted on my screen for a password. This indicates that it see devices, but it just doesn't display them properly. Nice "upgrade," huh?

Apple, when you're fixing the reception issue that also plagues so many of us, can you fix bluetooth too?
