IPhone 4 Bluetooth Issues

IPhone 4 doesn't allow reasonable range and other issues with bluetooth headset. Fyi, tried with Apple Bluetooth headset which worked perfectly with IPhone 3G & IPhone 3G-S. Issue, you can have IPhone 4 in shirt or pant pocket and bluetooth will disconnect. Also, you can have IPhone 4 inside car and close the door while standing right outside the door and bluetooth disconnects. This never happened with previous models including IPhone 3G-S with IOS 4 installed.

Other bluetooth issues: as others reported - muffled sound quality to person your talking to. Time delays and disconnects with bluetooth Uconnect. IPhone 4 won't let you change between your car audio phone feature back to IPhone 4 without freezing.

Don't mean to spoil your great relationship with your new iPhone; I wouldn't be that optimistic. Sound quality Bluetooth issues often take some time before they emerge on the iPhones...

The iPhone does not connect to the iPad through bluetooth. You will need to connect them through wifi to do what you want with Keynote.

I am having the same problem. I have the iPhone 4, using iOS5. Every since I updated the software, I can not connect to my M350 bluetooth.

Wow. This is exactly how I feel. I was hopeful for 15 months. I thought there was no way it would be even worse on the next iPhone. Do you hear popping/crackling sound?

I spoke to Apple Support yesterda about the same issue. Put your phone in airplane mode for about 30 seconds, and then turn it back on. You should be able to pair after that.

Zekebrad, What type of range are you getting with the Era?

The Q1 & V1 worked with my 4 but the range was still minimal.

Reetz2008 - thanks for the tip. I got my Jabone ERA and so far is working great. Thanks again.

I have an Iphone 4 non-jailbroken updated to IOS 5. Still having bluetooth disconnect issues. I am an over the road truck driver and use a VXI Blueparret expressway headset (one of the best noise canceling for loud environment)

It will disconnect upwards of 30-40 times a day even with the phone sitting less than 3 feet from the headset. Sometimes if I go into settings turn bluetooth off and back on it will be more stable for awhile, but slightly.

I sure wish apple would patch this problem please.

Bob,

Thanks for your post; it helped me figure out how to make my new iphone 4s work with my 2010 E550 4matic.

Regards,

Tom

The blueant T1 works just fine on my 4s

Me too, but when I bought my Jawbore ERA my problem when away. Very happy. You can get it a Bestbuy. The only thing I didn't like that it cost $129.00. Good luck....

I had the exact problem w a Mercedes I had as a loaner.

There is a place somewhere in you Nav system which allows

A reset. I used it on the MB and cured the problem.
