iOS 6 Bluetooth problems

So I have an iPhone 4S and IPad 2. I have updated them both to iOS 6 and am having Bluetooth problems on both devices... It connects and plays for about a minute and for some odd reason it cuts out every couple seconds/minutes. I have to keep pausing or skipping tracks in order for the music to play comfortably again. This happens to me on BOTH devices and also happens on my buddies iPhone 4S as well.


I never had any of these problems in iOS 5... So does anyone know if it could be a bug or how I can fix it?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Well this is getting ridiculous. You won't believe it:


I am having only one device in my Bluetooth list and that is my MBP. Guess what? If I hit Forget Device and the red confirm button nothing happens. It just stays there.


So it turned out I cannot delete the Apple MBP from the Apple iphone's bluetooth list. LOL.

Obviously the 'guru's' the wrote the iOS6 upgrade don't drive cars with Bluetooth connectivity or they break the law and use their phones whilst driving. I prefer handsfree and police prosecution free


I drove 200 Kms to see a car technician to be told the car stereo and inbuilt Bluetooth was fine just ditch the iPhone. He was kind enough not to charge me for the visit.


Well come on Apple, pull your finger out and fix this issue or do you have shares in Samsung too?

Or, you could read the thread before posting and realize there are millions of people using myriad devices with no issues whatsoever, and that those with issues have had them fixed by software updates by their head end manufacturers (Alpine, Pioneer, etc.)


But hey, choose to blame Apple if you like, and why not buy a Samsung?


Of course, where you'll go when you find you have Bluetooth issues with your Samsung, I've no idea.

Or you could read the entire thread and realize a brand new pair of iPhone 5s (unmodified / not Jail-Broken) running latest IOS update can not even connect to each other, and can not connect to other Apple products. Apple products that will connect with non-Apple phones. And that those with issues, will not get iPhone 5s fixed by software updates by third party manufactures (Apline, Pioneer, etc). Cause the problem is with Apple products, not Samsung, LG, or Motorolla.


But hey, feel free to keep defending Apple for their own problem.

I have been an Apple supporter since 1995, but the lack of cistomer support over this issue is appaling!

I had problems with my iphone 5 and Toyota bluetooth that have now been resolved, but Apple have consistently ignored the complaints and lied that they had no knowledge of of any problems existing.

You have only to look at the number of pages on this thread to realise that we are being ignored.

Apple should wake up and realise that in todays word customers should not be treated like shxx if they want to continue selling to them.

Of course they can always wait and sell to someone who has not heard of there customer service and decides to trust them.

Theres one born every minute, but I will be thinking very seriously before buying Apple again.

Yeah safe mode solved my problem.


I tried with a Pioneer car radio, pairing succesful only in safe mode, and had to unpair in safe mode too. Serious bug I guess.


Now I am having a JVC KD-R90BT car radio, which connected and connects with no problem at all in safe mode. This is ridiculous. Anyway, the unit worked well in the past few days. I cannot tell if it would work without JB.


YOU KNOW, JUST WORKS. LOL.
