iPhone 11 on iOS 13 having Bluetooth connectivity issues

New iPhone 11 on iOS 13 is having Bluetooth connectivity issues.

both my daughter and I are having the similar issues.

daughters phone is an 11 64GB Purple.

mine is an 11 128GB White

Hers gets connected to her 2018 Toyota C-HR and constantly drops out. Her iPhone 7 Plus never had any issues.

I have mine connected to a Boss BT module on my motorcycle. Never had any issues with my iPhone X.

neither of our other phones we’re running iOS 13.

I updated to 13.1.2 It looks like "MOST" of my issues have been fixed with this latest update. My 2012 Scion xB stock stereo is now not dropping or getting garbled calls. My iFrogz headphones are now staying connected when paused in Pandora.


The only remaining bug(s) I'm seeing are:


  1. Hey Siri is somewhat spotty. Like the phone isn't hearing me sometimes. Very random.
  2. When placing a call via Hey Siri in my car, the bluetooth connection between my iphone 11 and my scion xB, will connect/disconnect several times before the dialing sound starts. Once the dialing starts, it stays connected.

If you have a HumX and you got the latest version of the Hum app, it is the stupid Google Assistant that is blocking the connection. You have to disable the Google Assistant but you can't remove it because it doesn't work without the Google Assistant either. The other problem is the Google Assistant keeps turning itself back on in the Hum App. So, every time you want to connect to your HumX, you need to disable the google assistant in the Hum app, and try to reconnect via BlueTooth. The developer for the HumX and whoever made this decision to include the Google Assistant and the way it work might want to consider a different career. I hope this helps others because it is completely annoying.

Also, they haven't updated the App for iOS to support the HandsFree option that I was notified about. I called Hum Support on October 17th and they said it would be fixed in 24 hours. As of now (a week later), nada.

Good luck!

MY wife has an iPhone 11 on the daily and I'm trading for 11 on my XS. We live in a middle of nowhere and maybe 2 bars at most. For now I can assure you the standard 11 gets a better signal than my XS ever did. (PWM things that bug **** out of me-headaches, eye strain, etc.). Field tests also indicate that it is coming from -106-112db while mine is at best-118db.

IPhone is top mobile in the world and biggest company in the world like apple should consider all its aspects before releasing.

Hi


You are correct the upgrade doesn't fix a **** thing! I am so frustrated with Apple...I've spent hours on the phone with technicians, sending them data and more...they should never have released this phone....If they have any integrity they should offer refunds...I'll take my 7 Plus back in a minute!


I hope someone from Apple reads these forums...if not we are just frustrating each other!


ughhhhhh

I'm having bluetooth problems as well. This had never happened before with previous iPhone models. It started happening with the iPhone 11. The connection with my car is very choppy, for lack a better word. It stays connected but the audio is cut off half the time, making it really annoying to listen to music. I've also noticed is more prominent when I use Apple Music than when I use Spotify or listen to audiobooks. It happens with my car and my Aftershokz Trekz Air, though it is much worse with my car than the headphones. I have the most up-to-date iOS and it still happening. It's very annoying.

I bought a new iphone 11 and bluetooth gets disconnected in between while on call using my sony WH-CH500 wireless headphones... no issues while listening to songs, but is very frustrating while on call. Already updated with ios 13.1.3 version, but still the same issue... will wait for a week time and if no updates to fix it planning to return it back.... This is the first time I am feeling so bad buying iphone :( I feel android phones are better than iphones nowadays :(
