Q: 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?

 

 

Using- Beats  Wireless

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

A:

I upgraded to IOS 7 and the Bluetooth issues disappeared.

 

My configuration: iPhone 4s, Pioneer receiver with AS-BT200 bluetooth adapter

 

With IOS 5: no issues

With IOS 6: 1sec drops every 30 to 40 seconds (WLAN enabled); no drops (WLAN disabled)

With IOS 7: no issues, even with WLAN switched on

 

I did not change anything on Pioneer side, just upgraded the iPhone to IOS 7 and did not even had to setup the Bluetooth connection again.

 

This leaves the conclusion that it was a software bug in IOS 6.

    Forbes has started covering this issue (since Apple has not):

    I have an ipad 3 with ios6 and sony wireless speakers and get the split-second audio dropouts every 90 seconds or so as referred to many times on this thread. Sounds trivial but it's been driving me mad. Anyhow, think its something to do with wifi as I've just turned this off and managed to listen to two entire tracks free from dropouts. And when wifi is turned back on the first thing that happens is a drop-out and then back to the 90 second cycle. No use of course if you're listening to audio online but some sort of a solution if listening to stuff on the memory.

    Same issue here.

    After updating to IOS 6.0.1 we can't connect our phones to our Sony MEXBT4000P car audio system, so no hands free and no music.

     

    VERY annoying. Should be fixed and/or at least get a comment from Apple.

    I have the same problem with my 2012 Volvo XC60 and Iphone 5 Bluetooth connection. This system worked flawless with my Iphone 4S. Now the connection is sluggish. The odd time it works OK, but most of the time it is poor.

    Why can Apple not fix its Bluetooth problem?  I have an iPhone 4 that was working flawlessly with my Alpine

    CDE-HD137BT deck over Bluetooth when running iOS5.  I upgraded the phone to iOS6 and Bluetooth no longer works (will stream audio, but does not allow control using the deck).  I junked the iPhone 4 and switched to an iPhone 5.  However, even this one (iOS 6.0.1) will not work properly with Bluetooth.  When will there be a fix for this?  Alpine has stated unequivocally that the problem is with the iPhone.  I have to believe Alpine given that there are so many similar complaints with other brands (common denominator? - iPhone).  What gives, Apple?  Please fix this!

    I think there's a problem with your CAPs lock also.

    See if apple can fix that for you!

    I have a 2012 Infinti QX56 and the new iPhone 5 will not answer calls through the cars Bluetooth. The iPhone 4 worked fine, but the 5 doesn't. Tried reconnecting, tried a friend iPhone 5 and neither worked.

     

    I can answer with the phone and then switch it to the car to make it work and out going calls are fine. It's just using the answer button on the car puts the call on eternal hold.

     

    Any idea if Apple will fix this?

     

    Thx!

    Before Apple fixes anything, they first have to admit that it is broken... which they have yet to do.

    I am suprised that the latest update did not fix the bluetooth problems... I bought a brand new pair of beats wireless headphones (which btw is available on apple's website itself) few days before iOS 6 was released. It was all good till I updated to iOS 6 - tracks started skipping, song played for about 90 sec and then just stopped, weired things started happening and it's ANNOYING..... don't think I will be upgrading to latest iPhone anytime soon. Really considering switching brand just so that I can listen to my music on my beats wireless headphones, if Apple's not considering fixing it soon. That's what's up!! cheers!!
