ios 8.1 bluetooth Audio dropouts

I still continue to have dropouts using my new Bose Soundlink OE bluetooth headphones on my iphone 6 running ios 8.1 on ANY music player.

I just listened to a 33 minute track on my iPad mini1 running ios 7.0.4 via bluetooth with the same headphones without one dropout. There is obviously still a serious bluetooth connection problem even with the 8.1 update.

I'm facing exactly the same problem here.

Intermittent bluetooth audio connection with my 2012 Ford Focus on iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1.

I can connect to the stereo and play the music, but the audio only works for 2~4 seconds then it mutes for more 2~4 seconds, then it returns, and so on.


My wife has an iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and it works flawlessly. My own 5S used to work too, before the 8.1 update.

Interestingly, I streamed music for about 40 minutes or more via bluetooth in my vehicle without a problem yesterday. I have not used the hands free phone function yet with ios 8.1, but had issues with 8.0 and 8.0.2.


My concern is that with the Beats - Apple - Bose controversy, it may not ever resolve the problem with the headphones.

Here are instructions for creating and collecting a log of your phone's Bluetooth activity, which you can then submit to Apple in a bug report to help them figure it out. https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/ios/bluetooth/


Don't skip step 1 like I did; that step is important. After you've saved the log, there's a "sign in to bug report" link at the bottom-left of the same page. From there you can create the report and attach the log.


Hoping this gets fixed quickly!

This is the most definite log entry which I found, after pouring over 1000s of lines of log. This syncs up with the time i was having the issues. Where do you submit the logs?
