lol...sorry..yes..airplay

did you try "forget devise" before pairing it again? 

Troubles with hearing aids dropping Bluetooth when streaming other apps is buggy between Apple and Starkey. That's something that I'm sure a future update will fix.  I woke up the other day and my halo would not pair after flawless performance for two weeks. The hearing aid would just beep 10 times repeatedly and never turn on (when you hear the music).   They had to replace the aid. 

iOS 8.1 beta is currently loading on to my iPhone 6.  When I have restored everything, and tested it with my Halos I will post an update.

Not holding out a lot of hope!!

Can I ask how you got the beta? I have asked for it but no replies.....

I'm registered as a 'developer', and have been trying out the iOS betas and the Yosemite previews.

I Have been a tester for Yosemite and would have thought that would be enough to qualify for a copy of 8.1.

I think you have to register (and pay) as a developer to get iOS betas.  The Yosemite is a public beta for testing by everyone.

The Senior Apple Tech Support Manager called me this a.m. to relay Apple Engineering's response. "Yes they are aware but there is no ETA for a fix and nothing on the immediate horizon to fix Bluetooth connectivity issues."

APPLE - Assuming this is correct, this is UNACCEPTABLE. We are a user group who relies on this technology due to health issues. We are not playing games with this. It's now a requirement of our ability to communicate with our telephones. I ask you to reconsider your comment and resolve this issue immediately.

Very frustrating if true.  This is the opposite to what Starkey are saying about an imminent fix.  Looks like I'm wasting my time with iOS 8.1

In fact, reading the release notes for this release (it's still syncing), there is no mention at all of anything to do with Bluetooth or Accessibility

Have been offline on vacation.  Thanks, this help a lot.

MacRumors is covering the Bluetooth issues with iOS8 and iPhone 6.  It isn't just hearing aids that are having the problem.  Read their article:

Yes, my Audi & iPhone 6 will not connect by Bluetooth either.  A larger base of complaints will keep the focus on a faster correction perhaps.

OS 8 Causing Widespread Bluetooth Connectivity Issues in Cars

Wednesday October 1, 2014 11:22 am PDT by Juli Clover

iOS 8 has caused significant issues for some people who connect their phones to their cars and other devices via Bluetooth, according to numerous reports on the Apple Support forums and MacRumors' own user forums. MacRumors has also been receiving complaints on a near daily basis about the ongoing Bluetooth problems that iOS 8 users are seeing.

It appears that after upgrading to iOS 8 or purchasing a new iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, users have trouble pairing their phones to their car audio systems. The devices are seeing several different issues, refusing to pair entirely, neglecting to play audio over the speakers, or disconnecting when a call comes in.

Now when I am connected via bluetooth, I place a call, and it says it's going over bluetooth, but it doesn't interrupt my car's music, and the audio doesn't play over the speakers. The only way I can talk to the person is if I press the Audio button on the phone and select speakerphone or iPhone as if it wasn't connected to the car.

An ongoing thread on the MacRumors forums suggests that a wide range of different automobiles are having Bluetooth connectivity issues with devices running iOS 8 and iOS 8.0.2, including Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Toyota, Ford, and more.

The Bluetooth pairing problems are not limited to automobiles, as iOS 8 users have also reported issues pairing with headphones, speakers, headsets, and more.

According to one iPhone 6 owner experiencing issues, Apple support is aware of a compatibility issue between the Bluetooth "used on the iPhone 6 and some car/navigation Bluetooth." Apple is said to be working on a fix for the issue, but in the meantime, some users have had temporary luck logging out of iCloud, forgetting connected Bluetooth devices, using the "Reset All Settings" and/or "Reset Network Settings" option on their iPhones and restarting, re-pairing their devices with their Bluetooth devices, and then logging back in to iCloud.

Attempting to use "Reset All Settings" should be done with caution, however, as some users have noticed that all of their iCloud Drive documents have gone missing after using the feature.

iOS 8 has not been Apple's most stable release. The operating system has seen several issues, including a major HealthKit bug that caused the company to pull all HealthKit-enabled apps just ahead of the public release of iOS 8 and a significant issue with the iOS 8.0.1 update, which disabled the cellular connection and Touch ID of many iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users.

iOS 8.0.2, released last week, fixed several major issues including the HealthKit bug, and Apple has plans to release another update in the near future, having already seeded iOS 8.1 to developers.

Update: According to some users who have installed iOS 8.1, the new update fixes the problems with Bluetooth.

I, for one, am not a happy camper. I rely on this connectivity to communicate on my phone not only for personal calls but for business calls.

APPLE - Are you listening? Or is your Bluetooth connection to this user group not working?
