iOS 8.0.2 Did not fix BlueTooth issues!

same here, iPhone5s iOs 8.0.2 & JVC Radio Unit, now every 5 minutes the radio is calling a certain phone number all the time (started with 8.0 ;-) had no time to check on that, i think they changed something on the bluetooth protocol (or whatever) because of handoff ----> so therefore we have now "hands-on" in the car ;-)

i will try deleting and new pairing, if that not works, same with changing name of device, wish me luck guys... 😝

I almost expect that there will be bugs, what I find stunning is the total lack of support for this issue from Apple. As far as I can tell they haven't officially acknowledged it yet. I think most of us can appreciate that things don't always go as planned, but to not even show the slightest amount of support or concern publicly is disturbing. I know Apple reads these posts because they have deleted some of my previous posts when I have talked about how to temporarily fix the problem. Come on Apple, at least acknowledge that there is an issue.

This must be your first rodeo with a new product from Apple? They have a storied history of not making public announcements about issues. Instead, they work very hard behind the scenes on iOS updates, which historically do resolve issues. Don't think because Apple hasn't publicly acknowledged the issue, it isn't being worked on. Every major news outlet has reported the bug and yes, Apple does monitor this forum. They just don't reply. But they're aware and working on a solution.

I have the same issue with my iphone 6. I'm still running iOS 8.0. The HFL in my 2008 Honda Accord refuses to work consistently with this phone. I had no problems with my old 4s. Every time I make a call using my HFL it either drops the call completely or just drops it on the HFL and shows it on my phone (but the other person can't hear me and I can't hear them). Also had the HFL be completely unable to make a call even though it shows everything is paired. Then there are times where the HFL and the iphone 6 don't even recognize each other to pair. I've tried resetting my HFL, my phone, and turning the Bluetooth and phone off and on with no luck. Completely frustrated at this point.

I Even had a call come in on my Bluetooth, from my own cel #, which is quite impossible since I had the phone with me and I'm driving!!!

And the hard fix is??

Same issue, even after last update: I can't connect my iPhone 6 to Sync in Ford Focus SE 2014. I can't connect with an external Bluetooth speaker either. Only my iPad appears in the list of devices. No external Bluetooth at all. Very frustrating. Using iPhone 6. Apple please do something.

To fix this issue, you truly do have to wipe clean and set up a new device. I started over, set up new device and now Bluetooth works. everyone knows how painful this is.

Don't shoot the messenger. 😮

I've been talking to an Senior Applecare advisor for a few days. He got some feedback from an Engineer and asked me to do the following:

If you can’t connect to a hands-free Bluetooth accessory, can’t make or receive calls when you’re connected to Bluetooth, or can’t hear sound clearly when you’re on a call using Bluetooth, these steps can help.

There may be two issues here. As pointed out in the many responses above the most common problem is not pairing, it is that when a call initiates it reverts to the iPhone rather than handsfree. This is quite dangerous for an incoming call. It seems there may be a secondary, less common, issue of just simply no being able to pair.

Apparently the 8.1 beta goes part/all of the way to correct this problem. Fingers crossed.

Yes Apple we who can’t use our Bluetooth connectivity completely understand why you would hold the fix in 8.1 release until October 20 so a few people can get killed driving without hands free capability so you can get Apple Pay out in 8.1. Tens of thousands of loyal Apple customers are finding good reasons to leave Apple. It ain’t mystique anymore. Its brash stupidity and indifference. But remember good Apple company-Stupid Is As Stupid Does. My advice of the day- sell Apple Stock short. It’s a long fall from being king of the mountain.

Think your customers are angry? Ya think?

Just bought a MB CL550. Great car, but 5S does not send proper signals to the vehicle's state of the art bluetooth. ***. This is totally unacceptable.

I have the same problem with my Nissan x trail.

TThe 8.0.2 seems to have fixed the issue for me in the Mazda w the iPhone 5...

Same issue here; older iPhone (4S) running 8.0.2 on a 2012 Hyundai Azera limited. Spoke with Apple support; got the standard 'go to the dealer', dealer had no information outside of that the phone manages Bluetooth connections. Car works great with my wife's S4 and my work S5, so it's not a hardware issue. Was about to get the 6, but not sure now. I can not be on the road without a BT synced phone!

Another note - Siri issues also, when using Siri, my phone screen on console appears to be dialing either no number or my VM. Never had thes issues with 7.
