iPhone 6 BlueTooth issues with iOS8

Ok here is my findings:


Tried 2 iPhone 5 units before iOS8 and no issues with Bluetooth (1 I had for 2 years and no issues in my car). Once updating to iOS8 the bluetooth didn't work well at all for phone calls but music connects fine. Strange issues with the unit automatically start dialling but not able to cancel call until you disconnected bluetooth.


Also incoming calls ring but unable to answer and seem to lock up so you have to disconnect bluetooth to hang up.

I tried everything listed in the forums here and what the Apple reps told me. It works for a short while until the phone gets turned off or synced with iTunes. Now I have a new iPhone 6 with iOS 8 and it worked initially before I started setting things up.


I did not restore from a back up, I started as a new phone. Once I installed all my apps (Not in iTunes, rather manually over the air) and changed settings on the phone (not sure if it because of changing settings or turning the phone off) it would not connect to bluetooth in my car anymore, well it does just for music. I have tried my wife's iPhone 5c and it seems to work fine with my bluetooth so it definitely has nothing to do with my vehicle.


Apple there is a definite issue here. Stop telling me and other people to contact my car manufacturer to fix the issue. It all worked fine before iOS 8. Something needs to be done ASAP or I will be returning my phone and jumping ship to an Android or Windows phone as much as that may pain me. I have been a loyal Apple customer for the last 7 years. If this is how you are going to treat me and other loyal customers, you will not keep us for long.


I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this. If so I am expecting to be contacted. We expect a resolution fast!

When I go to cancel it says cancel Photostream, documents and data, Safari, contact and calendars from this iPhone, do I have to click yes, or keep on this iPhone? If I select yes rather than keep on this iPhone what will happen/what will I loose? I'm a bit confused/concerned about this stage of the fix. Also can I open a new iCloud account after this or will it revert me back to the same bug?

I really cant tell for sure what solve this for me since i tried so many things , my car phone is now working great for 3 days , i didn't had to reset all settings , i did delete the pairings on both ends several times and did a reset network settings once , i am pretty sure it didn't help , the one thing i am assuming did the trick for me is resetting the Car phone to factory defaults , since i did that it works... (hopefully for good)

what i did was:


log in iCloud.com, go to find my devices, delete any unused devices.


log in apple id, remove any unused devices from trusted devices list


turn on every i-device that is running iOS 8. make sure all them are logged in iCloud account.


turn on bluetooth setting in your iPhone 6 and make sure every device is listed here.


before pairing with your car, make sure you delete any previous pair session. likewise, any previous pair listed in your iPhone bluetooth should also be deleted.


power cycle your iPhone 6, then pair with your car.


i just followed the instruction from the link i posted. only addition step i did was delete my old phone from trusted list in apple id website.


good luck….
