iPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio / Video sync delay?

I have the same audio/video sync issue with my new iPhone 5, also on 2 different models of bluetooth headsets. A Sony DB-22 headset that synced perfectly with my iPhone 4, had a problem with the audio/visual sync with my iPhone 5. Thinking it was the newer hardware of the iPhone 5, I bought a new Jabra HALO2 headset but the issue persists. This appears to be a software issue.

My iPhone 5 is fully up to date with iOS 6.0.1 (10A525), and I sync to my iTunes library almost every day.

Same here... I have a jawbone headset. The audio is delayed by about 1/2s – both, when watching video or listening audio, and when normal system sounds are played (like keyboard clicks).

I noticed that sometimes (very rarely) the system sounds aren'd delayed and play fine but haven't figured out when yet.

I tried the same headset on a mac, where it played fine.

I have the exact same problem with my new top of the line Parrot Ziks with three different iOS6 devices. Tried resetting and impairing with no success. The delay is a deal breaker for watching movies or playing games over BT.

I don't remember having this problem with my defunct Nokia headphones back in the day of iOS 5.

Same thing happens with with my Jawbone Era and iPhone 5 6.0.2. The delay is less after I pause the video, switch the audio to iPhone speakers, then switch back to Bluetooth. I don't have any audio sync issues when I use the Era with an iPad mini.

Same issue here with Motorola S10-HD headset. Really annoying. Sound comes out perfectally with internal speaker and headphones hooked into the headphone jack.

I have the same issue with the BackBeat Go from Platronics. It works fine on a laptop but on the iphone5 with the latest image it still has an issue with video. I guess I can't tell from the audio but video its like 500ms to 1sec delay. Anyone have a fix?

I have had this problem since day one with the iPhone 5. Never had the problem with my iPhone 4.

I have noticed, if you go to the home screen, then lock your phone. It seems to fix the problem once you unlock it again. I have only tested this once, but after watching a movie on a plane the other day, it had gotten worse and worse the longer I watched the movie. I got frustrated and locked my phone. The lock sound was delayed by almost a full second. When I unlocked it, it was in sync again!

Leave it locked for a good 10s and it should work. Just tested it again.

I have the same headphones and the same problem 😁

The delay is simply AWFUL, it's almost impossible to watch a video or play a game.... whats the problem??

I too have this problem. Anyone know how to get this issue promoted so Apple notices it? Seems like a simple enough thing to fix if they wanted to. How can I help them want to fix this?

So I called and called and supposedly the escalated but never heard back. I bought the Jaybird JF3s and they work fine. iPhone with car bluetooth is also out of sync for video and almost everything I tried. The Jaybird JF3s have been good for the past 2 months. The locking never helped me though.

So the Apple engineers and I guess 2nd level or 3rd level techs said it is the processing of the bluetooth headsets that doesnt processing it fast enough or what not. I didnt believe really but then for some reason the Jaybird JF3s work so it must have some truth. I tried 4 different ones before I found the JF3s which ended up working in sync.

I have JF3s and still have the problem. Try watching a 2 hour movie and it will lose sync. Not only that, I also lose connection the the headphone when I go from listening to music to typing a text after stoping the music.

That is likely to be the case, but stil doesn't explain why the Backbeat GO works fine with the Galaxy S of a friend of mine, and with my iMac too...

And why the "locking" helps a lot in my case? If it's only an headset BT chip problem I shouldn't have any improvements by locking and unlocking the phone!

Lets see now...

I moved from Samsung to Apple and Im facing these issues:

Many of my videos dont play...

Ok... lets spend some money on video player apps.

Ok, I did that. Now I can see the videos but I cant hear them due to apple's patent policies.

Ok... lets convert them!!!! (I must love apple to go through all this and still be here...)

Now that I did all that... I took my reletively expensive bluetooth and left for work, to watch these important videos.

Result???

The speaker's mouth moves but I hear what he says after a second or two...

and now to my main question: "Hello apple"!!!! Anybody there??????"

For how long to these people think we will continue to comprimise????

Ofcourse I will get no answer from them so maybe I should turn to myself and ask the very sane question:

Why in the world did I spend so much money on a device that makes my life 100 times more difficult than my previous one???

Anybody know a good psychiatrist??????????
