Anyone know how to fix Bluetooth headset not working properly after iOS 8 update?

I would make it forget the bluetooth device

put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode

and reconnect it

I have a similar problem when using Plantronic headset. After updating to iOS 8, can’t use the headset to Receive or End calls (though the calls work fine). Have to always answer or end the calls through the phone. Weird thing is that it works on my older 5S and my colleague's 5 which is running iOS 8. Something got messed up somewhere during the upgrade. And Apple is advising me to restore as new and install the apps. I hate to do this as I don’t have the time to spend 2-3 hrs setting up everything again. Tried to remove and repaired the device, but with no luck.

I have the same problem. i am using Motorola HK100 and i can´t respond or closing close using my headset button. It was working well with IOS 7

I have a plantronics marque 2 M165, i can connect to Siri on my iphone 5c but she is screaming at very high level until i use my gps services on my phone then i can barely hear her. My phones volume is on the minimum and my bluetooth is low to but getting an earache from the high volume. Any thoughts?

I just purchased an iPhone 6. None of my Bluetooth headsets can answer calls or terminate calls using button on headset. Other than answering and terminating calls, the headsets work fine. I have to answer calls from iPhone then switch to Bluetooth and must terminate calls from iPhone. It appears to be an issue with iPhone 6. My Bluetooth headsets having this problem are the latest version of Jawbone ERA, Plantronics Savi 740, and Plantronics Voyager Legend. The Plantronics Voyager Legend used to always answer calls by picking up the headset but that feature no longer works with iPhone 6. However, all work fine with my Verizon iPhone 5s with iOS8.

Apple support said it is an issue with my Bluetooth headsets, not the iPhone. When I told him they work fine on my iPhone 5s, he said I could return my iPhone 6 for a full refund. Yea... thanks a lot... after waiting in line for all those hours and using my 2-year contract upgrade, I'm now supposed to return it ???? Wonder how long it will be before Apple releases a 8.01 fix...?

Button works correctly on my Motorola H710 to connect and disconnect calls. Note another thread in discussions concerning connection to auto Bluetooth systems. Problem was fixed for Verizon iPhone 6 customers by having Verizon activate their VoLTE. Activating Advanced Calling 1.0 allows both data and voice simoultaneously over bluetooth.

Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly. I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office. Everyone in our company thinks they are the best. However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets. Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue. However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues. Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device. Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers. You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...

On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB. The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes. However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center. Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update. Are you kidding me... That is a bunch of BS...!!!

Try Reset all settings. It worked for me. However, it stopped once I used Wifi and connected to iCloud. I had to play around with lot of Resets and somehow it started to work again. There seems to be some bug or something associated with iCloud. If it still doesnt work, then you may want to turn off iCloud before you do the Reset all settings and then turn it back on.

Just got off the phone with Jawbone tech support. They are working on a firmware update to correct this issue. Naturally, "it stems from complications with the release of iOS8."

My Plantronics M165 can no longer accept or end calls using the call button (not to mention that Bluetooth isn't working properly in my car anymore). I can't begin to imagine how so many problems with bluetooth connectivity somehow slipped past all of the beta releases of iOS8. I've used iPhones since ver. 1. Now seriously considering switching to Android.

i have a jawbone as well and a cdl license. have to be hands free while driving and with the iOS 8 upgrade and iOS 8.2 upgrade i can no longer answer calls with my bluetooth.

it worked fine before the update now i have to answer the phone , turn on the jawbone and then connect it.

is there a fix in the works for this?

Same here, iOS 7 to 8 plantronics bluetooth headset buttons stopped working, no answer or hangup with the buttons, not sure if the volume buttons work. Tried forgetting the device and pairing again but this made no difference. I have a delay answering each call because I can only answer from the phone which automatically uses the handset and then click on audio and the headset so the person can hear me. I don't want to reset to default when people have the same problem with iPhone 6 out of the box.

I am also having the same problem which my iPhone 6. My Savi 740 will not answer incoming calls nor will hang up with the headset button. I can make outgoing calls though. Also the iPhone bluetooth connectivity is having similar problems on my BMW - I can make outgoing calls but cannot answer incoming calls. I assume this is an iPhone problem not a Plantronics problem.

All my Bluetooth connections ( Build in CarKit in my Car as well as the Plantronics PT_Legend) don't work anymore correctly after upgrading to IOS 8.

This is not what I expect from a supplier as Apple, this is more the level of Microsoft ......

I have an iPhone 6 on 8.0.2 and the new Era by Jawbone. Same exact problems as everyone else, can't answer or end calls. Tried forgetting Era and reconnecting it, but no joy. Sure would be nice to answer a call without getting out the phone... It's really the simple things you miss the most.
