Ipad IOS 8 Bluetooth speakers no longer work

So your Bluetooth is not working with your car or your JBL speakers?

i jave the same problem with boston Acoustics soundware xs and MY iPhone 5s and my iPod 5 gen land i expected with the new actualization 8.1.3 the problem volved but still dont working please apple do it something this thing happen when pass ios 7 to ios 8 thanks

Yeah, neither JBL speaker or car bluetooth. Really stinks.

I tried every possible solution and even returned my iPad Air 2 to its factory settings as advised by Apple support but nothing worked. Any BT device I tried can stream music to my Boston Acoustics XS 2.1 but my brand new iPad on iOS 8.1.3. I wrote a feedback to Apple as a last hope. You can also try that, the link is in that thread: Bluetooth problem is still persistent with iOS 8.1.3

Yep, I can confirm the problem still exists. I updated my iPad to iOS 8.1.3, and the issue remains. Come on Apple, you're happy to share all those press releases about record profits. How about doing a little to help those of us who have helped make all those sales possible?

Funny when did iOS 8.1.3 come out. It must have been when I was posting that earlier thread. Or when I was moving the furniture.

iOS 8.1.3 installed bluetooth sync with BA Soundware XS 2.1 speakers still a fail.

The irony to this is that I had an old Nano connected to the Soundware with the 3.5mm cable playing while I tried to sync. I pressed the input button to the flashing blue light to sync the phone. Got the not even one second connection as usual. Then I hit the input button on the Soundware remote back to the Red light setting the Nano was still playing over the cable connection.

Folks I'm not holding my breath till Apple fixes this one. Invest in a 3.5mm cable then be done with it. Resurrect that iPod shuffle or iPod Touch you never use any more as your dedicated BA Soundware XS 2.1 music streamer.

HI

i am also also facing same issue with my Boston sound ware and ipad /iPhone

however it's working with JBL pulse

ssad to see Apple is still sleeping and making money with our box and not giving solution

isthere there any portal we can log case ?

Don't sweat it travel_Living.

If you don't already have one just get a 3.5mm male to male cable to plug into the BA Soundware system. Your iPad/iPhone will play through them this way. There is an AUX 2 port with a 3.5mm rca connection on the back of the Soundware's subwoofer. Plug the other end into the headphone jack.

Works like a charm.

I have ordered one bluetooth adapter for time being (Work Around). But i expect either BA or Apple should solve this.

My JBL Pulse is working .. seems it's Boston issue ..

travel_Living it is not a Boston Acoustics issue. I didn't do anything to my BA Soundware XS 2.1. Nobody having a problem connecting their Apple device to the BA Soundware speakers did anything to their BA system.

What we all did was update our iOS software to iOS 8 which has broken the use of bluetooth in many ways. They (Apple) have patched back in some bluetooth functionality in iOS 8 but not all.

When iOS 8 connects to the BA Soundware speakers bluetooth signal iOS 8 immediately pauses the music app. That is what happens to me and seems to be happening to everyone else posting here about the BA Soundware XS 2.1 speakers.

HI THIS PROBLEM WITH THE NEW IOS 8.2 SOLVED

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Kudos to Apple. Thankfully we didn't have to wait for iOS 9 to get a fix. Hey we still have the 3.5mm line in connection on the back of the BAXS bass speaker in case bluetooth gets broken again.

With the iOS 8.2 update the problem now for my iPhone 5c the Safari app when I type in a url address nothing happens when I press go etc. Strange. At least my bookmarks work.

I am so happy this is fixed. I'll get around to filling my 128gb iPhone 6, bought on launch day, FULL of music now. What a long wait. Phew. Totally unacceptable really, but at this stage I'm just relieved we're going.

I might even update my OSX - does anyone know if that's been patched?

They work again after Apples latest uppgr. in IOS - thanks a lot.......... puh.

If your speaker has a reset button go to Bluetooth forget the device and hold down the reset button on your Bluetooth device and it will show up again on your Bluetooth on your ios device
