bluetooth connection fails iOS 8.0.2 OS X yosemite

Hi, I'm facing connection problems trying to create a bluetooth connection between my iphone (iOS 8.0.2) and MacBook Pro with the new OS X Yosemite.

I'm not able to pair the two devices


Best

LMP Version 0x6 means the computer has Bluetooth adapter 4.0. ("If your Mac is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0, LMP Version will say 0x6. Anything lower than that is an older version of Bluetooth.")

But somehow, the connection between the devices (MacBook and iPhone) is not stable: it keeps getting the error messages ("This Device Does Not Have The Necessary Services", "Not connected", etc) reported by you all.

I just updated to Yosemite today and I have iOS 8.0.2. I hope with Apple fix this issue with the iOS 8.1 that will be released next Monday (10/20) and, if needed, an update for OS X as well. Until there, the handoff won't work well.

Also, the ability to receive SMS on the iMessage isn't operational yet either. Apparently they are addressing this with iOS 8.1 which is to be released on the 20th. Seriously, Apple would be better off not promoting things that aren't ready for the release and then come in later and say "Look! We've enhanced it!!!" Then they look like Santa instead of boobs.

I have similar problems. Iphone 6, IOS 8.0.2 will not pair with MBAir, Yosemite for more than a couple of seconds. It didn’t work on Maverick either. It connects, but immediately disconnects. Distance 20 cm or so. Iphone connects without problems with my car system, and Mac connects without problems with Apple keyboard and mouse. The Mac appears twice in the device list on the iPhone, but only one can be deleted.
