Am I the only one (still...) having issues with Bluetooth after upgrading to iOS 8.1...?

The iPhone does not pair with a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot (sharing the phone's cellular internet connection) and it will only do that if it is supported by your cellular plan. Following is a link to the Bluetooth profiles which are supported: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles

If you are trying to pair to use Continuity/Handoff, note that both devices must have Bluetooth turned on and they must be in range of each other, but you do not pair the two.

Sorry but I can't help with the headphone or pairing with the devices other than computers.

I'm still having issues connecting my iPad mini to my bluetooth Logitech keyboard. Worked awesome before I upgraded to 8.0.2. I was really looking forward to 8.1 fixing the issue, but it hasn't changed a bit.

I just update my iphone 6 to 8.1 (8.02 to 8.1)

What is fixed: bluetooth connection to my VW carkit for phone. I can make calls again, see contacts ect.

What is not fixed:

Bluetooth audio with my Volkswagen Golf 2014, audio works but no selection available: no tracks, no albums or no artist, or anything showing. Carkit says: no lists available. Does not sync any content views with car(kit). This used to work fine on my iphone 5 on iOS 7.(any 7.xx versions)

Hi there!

I use iMac 21.5" end of 2012 with 10.10 Yosemite and try to get it connects with iPhone 6 updated to iOS8.1. Though system reports that devices cannot be connected and the bluetooth indicator is not blazing the Handoff is working.

I have no idea how to explain this.

You'll likely need to wait until VW puts out a firmware update for this. Same thing happened to me when iOS 6 came out. The car manufacturer had to provide an update for their system before it would work with the phone.

Having macbook pro mid 2014 10.10 and iPhone 5s 8.1 still can not bluetooth pair the two devices 😟

See my post above. The iPhone will NOT pair with a Mac except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular carrier supports it. Handoff/Continuity requires that both devices have Bluetooth turned on and that they be in range of each other -- it does NOT require that they be paired.

Yes thanks, now i do understand, as i am trying to use english as my first language obviously is not. So the iPhone and macbook does not have to be connected in any way via bluetooth is that right ? because i can not pair them at all, just asking

Your english is very good! For Handoff/Continuity to work you need Bluetooth turned on on both devices and they need to be in range of each other -- but you do NOT go to the Bluetooth setting on either device and pair them. I know that is unusual and can think of no other case where that is done using Bluetooth, but that is how it works for Handoff & Continuity.

The following are the other things needed from Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity

How to get started:

• Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices.
• Turn on Bluetooth on all the devices you want to use. Make sure your devices are near each other.
• Connect all your devices to the same Wi-Fi network.

Turn off Handoff

To turn off Handoff on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps, and turn off the setting.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > General and deselect the option to allow Handoff.

Phone calls

With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.

To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:

1. Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
2. Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
3. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
4. All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
5. Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.

I've pretty much thrown in the towel. iPad Air and iPhone 6 with running OS8.1, iMac running Yosemite. The devices seem to find the iMac, I am asked to pair them, I OK the confirmation code. They connect for 5 seconds or so and then disconnect, never to reconnect. I get some notification telling me to make sure Network access is available. I go to Network, click on Bluetooth try and connect and get the same message.

I should also add that my iPad Air will no longer pair with my Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus! Crap!

My iPhone 4s and iPad 4th gen are not seeing any Bluetooth devices. This has been an issue since iOS 8 was released and remains so after iOS 8.1

neithet device can see my polar h7 heart rate monitor.

Tried resets, switching Bluetooth off/ on and still nothing.

Maybe going to Android in the near future is the answer if Apple don't raise their game!

Still having issues after I upgraded to 8.1. iPhone 6. 2011 Subaru Impreza. Never had a single issue with my 4S, even after I updated it to 8.02. I'd get in the car, turn it on, and bluetooth would connect and my music would play. Now I have to go in to the iPhone, and initiate the connection, and sometimes it sees it, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm almost convinced there's something wrong with the bluetooth radio in these things.

I did a reset, which is irritating, and still, same thing.

I'm starting to want my money back.

Hello All !

I got the same problem with my iPhone 5c (iOX 8.1), my Macbook Air (Middle 2012 with Yosemite) and my iPad 3 (Retina with iOS 8.1)... The bluetooth does not work between them... There is no chance... I have been trying everything, and I have already searched for a solution inside the all forums into the Internet... The APPLE is kidding with us... So "cool" company, and so "poor" feedback... I am completely disappointed... How could the U2 band give its name, to be used, for one company that disrespects his clients ? Poor U2... Poor us...

A hug
