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.
Okay, so hope springs eternal: can anybody say that their post-iOS 4.0 iPhone 4 actually works well with ANY Bluetooth headset? Please, somebody say "Yes", and let us know which one(s)...
Am I correct in stating that this is not an iPhone 4 issue per se, but more directly related to the release of iOS 4? As I recall iOS 4 crapped out BT even on iPhone 3/3s models as well. Right?
No, this is my second iPhone with this headset. I still have my Jabra and it works just fine with the new iPhone too. Maybe I have been lucky - I hope my lucky streak keeps on going 😀
I had tried upto 4 different iPhone 4 (3 using IOS4 and one using IOS5) and all have the problems of finding another iPhone 4 through the bluetooth. Does anyone know any solution to that?
I don't think you'll run onto any issues with the HM1700, regardless its 3.0 Bluetooth, since every newer version is supposed to be backwards. Compatible with the earlier ones...
Replacing the phone with a 4s does not solve the problem. I have only a 4s and I am highly frustrated with the quality of connections between it and a high-end Plantronics headset.
