I have a 4S just upgraded to 6.1.2 and now I can't pair my phone and my car via Bluetooth

Definitely is a problem with the upgrade

I erased the phones paired previously on my car trying to fix this, started a new paring process once I entered the code in my phone then in my car, I phone immidately responds, "unable to pair devices"


Problem with

Iphone 4S ver 6.1.2

Car: BMW X5


Apple is not paying attention on the releases it worries me three versions not completely tested:6.1.0., 6.1.1. now 6.1.2


This is just not acceptable and the end cost for users and for Apple is lower if they take care of this upfront

I just solved my problem in my 4S was not connecting to my car BLUETOOTH

I noticed my phone would not connect to my KINDLE app either.


I uninstalled KINDLE app.


I went to SETTINGS GENERAL and selected RESET menu


I selected RESET NETWORK SETTINGS first

then I selected RESET ALL SETTINGS (this option will not erased data)


I resintalled KINDLE and was able to connect


Checked with my car and was able to pair it via BLUETOOTH as it was before.


Hope this will help more people.

I see that I'm not alone with Bluetooth problem...


I just bought an iPhone 5 and cannot communicate anymore for pictures transfer with my

MacBook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8


Both Apple products ! I had no problems before with my old MOTOROLA V8...


Anybody with a solution or is it just that Apple Marketing does not want us to by pass iCloud business ?


I hope that many people will post BLUETOOTH complains so that iOS 6.1.2 will get an update from APPLE

Since 2007 when the original iPhone was released, Apple has never allowed the phone to connect to other ohones or computers for file transfers.


The BT only functions with BT headsets, car stereos for BT calls and playing music and with some portbale GPS devices that have BT call functions.


The iPad is the same way. Apple will likely never change this. If you need this, buy another phone.


I have a two week old Nexus 4 that can do everything that you are looking for,
