Hello,
I need help, after updating iOS my bluetooth stopped working.
I even got my hardware checked and replaced bluetooth module, but still same thing happens.
Please help, I cannot use my smartwatch or anything else over bluetooth.
BR,
iPhone 6s
Try doing a "Reset Network Settings". Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset your antenna.
When you say you had your Bluetooth module replaced, what exactly are you referring to? Apple Stores don't replace bluetooth modules, that is a full device swap (at least as of 2016/2017 when I worked there).
Let me know more details if that doesn't work. Good luck!
The only other thing I can think of is to try and DFU the phone. I know it is annoying since you have to restore your backup, but it may save the phone.
How to DFU an iPhone. Make sure the screen stays black when in recovery mode as the directions specify. I would try this, and then set the phone up as new, only to test the Bluetooth.
If it still doesn't work on a new setup with no restore, after a device firmware update through iTunes, this confirms it is hardware issue. If it works, then erase the phone and restore a backup. If it happens after restoring, this means it is a corrupt backup or software issue in your backup. If it still works, then you are good to go!
Give this a try. A pain, but will give you a definite answer. Good luck,
That was first what I did, but I did it again now, same spinning gear.
I can turn on bluetooth in control centre but then I cannot turn it off same way...
Gear constantly spinning and no bluetooth devices visible.
I was in service which is official with apple products and they replaced module since iphone is oow from 2017.
Please explain this:
"I even got my hardware checked and replaced bluetooth module, but still same thing happens."
Apple won't do this. An Authorized service provider won't do this.
If you did it yourself or had it done by an unauthorized 3rd party, your phone is now completely unsupportable.
I'll try to setup as new phone , thanks.
Service was made by authorized service which already did replace battery when I had warranty. now since i don't have warranty anymore i would have to pay for any service, but they didn't charge me since they didn't make bluetooth work.
I'll write if I dfu restore worked.
