IPhone 4 Bluetooth Issues

Ive had an imac since 2007 which i guess will be made obsolete when the follow-up to ML comes out. I bought an iphone 4 recently to have a phone that works in snyc with my mac. Ive upgraded my mac so everything is running new software and hardware and the phone is running ios6. Other than general teething problems its worked ok but now i have bought a handsfree device for it ive found that not only does it not pick up that device but it doesnt detect ANY devices under bluetooth. I drive for a living and by UK LAW i have to use a handsfree kit. (i was prosecuted earlier this year for not using one and now i am without one again thanks to apple.

I will be looking to buy new computer and phone next year and unless this bluetooth issue is acknowledged and being sorted out I will be be taking my business elsewhere and i will will do my upmost to persuade others to do the same thing.

there are always glitches with new systems we all understand that but if you choose to ignore what we are all saying on here we will definately be ignoring your products this christmas and beyond. In this internet age bad publicity spreads fast and this thread is not only old but long. Thats a lot of angry people, just wanting you to put your hand up and say " yea we screwed up but we're working on it". Give people peace of mind.

Hi Dave

I use the Hotspot feature in settings on my iphone 4 to connect my ipad 3 to the net. Altho the ipad 3 has is gsm and wifi its sometimes says iv hit my data limit so i just connect thru my iphone.

I definately wouldnt bother doing it thru bluetooth as the hotspot feature allows you to use the phone like a wifi router.

Also occassionaly i have to switch both off to reset them but tbf this is no biggy n is failry standard with most IT.

Hope this helps.

I have two iPhones (4 running on iOS 4.x and 4S running on 5.1.1). I have just started using the 4S and ran into this issue, it won't pair with any bluetooth devices I have, not even with the iPnone 4. It is reidiculous that Apple simple does not care about it and keep throwing us at othe rocmpanies asing for support on their devices that do work and are compatible with anyone else.

Before complaining about Apple's stupid phones, I carefully tested all my bt devices connecting them to each other. I have devices manufactured by Dell, Sony, Samsung, LG, etc, everything works as expected but Apple's. What else do we need to do in order to get some respect from Apple?

Same thing with the battery on the 4S, is gets depleted in half the way as compared to the older iPhone 4, simply ridiculous.

Apple, make your products work instead of spending money on fancy TV campaigns!!!

I just bought a iphone 4 a month ago. Bluetooth and wifi connected fine to a Getac pocket PC with win mobile 6. Last Saturday the connections just didn't happen. As MANY others have stated, bluetooth on the iphone is continually searching and never finds nearby devices. The pocket PC found and connected to my buddies Droid and worked find.

MY SOLUTION IS TO BUY A DROID.

I too have had annoying problems with bluetooth on my iphone 4. My 3gs was flawless. Never a problem with the device connecting or clarity.

With iphone 4 my Bose headset often won't connect when I turn it on. I have ot go into the iphone for settngs, turn bluetooth OFF, wait, then turn it back on, then click the devide to get it to connect. Such a pain.

I also have had regular complaints of sounding muffled, etc.

PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS!
