iOS6 and Car Handsfree Nokia CK-100: Problems with incoming calls

Hi,

I am experiencing an annoying problem with my car handsfree set Nokia CK-100 after the upgrade of my iPhone to iOS 6.0

Usually while in the car my iPhone is connected using the dock connector to the USB socket of my Toyota. Sometimes I am listening music/audiobooks from the iPhone through the car stereo, sometimes it is just charging the iPhone battery.

When I get an incoming call I press "Answer" but instead of getting the sound in the Nokia's speaker, it is coming to the iPhone itself. So, I have to press the appropiate menu and select Nokia CK-100. It's is annoying, because a man on the other side starts speaking and I can't hear him, and it's DANGEROUS, because I am driving!

When I had iOS 5.1.1 this worked fine.

Any chance to get it fixed in a near iOS update?

Thanks,

Michael

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

I have the same issue with my iPhone5 but with my Motorola H710 headset. I've tried other headsets (e.g., Plantronics) and I have the same issue.

After the yesterday test: the problem appears even when the iPhone is not connected to USB socket of the car.

So it looks like a pure Bluetooth problem.

Looks like this is a "feature" and not a bug with iOS6. I found the paragraph below from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1664 on the support site. I tried it out and it works fine as long as I answer using my Bluetooth device vs. answering on the phone itself.

"When your iOS device is connected to a Bluetooth accessory, all outgoing calls are routed through the Bluetooth accessory by default. Incoming calls are routed through the Bluetooth accessory if you answer the call with it, or through your iOS device if you answer with it. In some cases, your contacts list transfers to the car kit and you can start a call by looking up a contact on the car kit's display."

Hi jdeshano,

You are correct, it works when I answer using the Nokia Bluetooth device, though its button is extremely inconvenient. If I press it a tiny bit longer than neccessary it drops the call 😟

In iOS 5.1.1 I used to answer using the iPhone touch screen and get the sound in the Bluetooth device, it worked perfectly but unfortunatelly Apple decides what's better for us without asking us and not leaving any alternative.

Any way - thanks a lot for your answer! I really appreciate it.

You solved my problem.

Michael
