iOS 8.3 Bluetooth Connection Problems

Also cannot connect Bluetooth (not even once). Come on Apple!

I have a 2012 Infiniti G37 and my contacts will not sync using bluetooth. Fix this. I'm sure Apple does not want to be the cause of me having an accident because my inability to be hands free is their FAULT. FIX THIS.

Put the headset into pairing mode

I'm also having trouble pairing my iphone 5 via Bluetooth to my MKZ. All I want to do is make and receive phone calls. It used to work fine, now after the Apple update to 8.3 the phone has numerous problems. Phone will start to pair but won't recognize any voice commands, Siri does not respond after pressing the home button. In fact, when I got the phone I was able to stream music via Bluetooth to the car's audio, but lost that ability long ago in one of their updates.

This is very frustrating. I'm very tired of the numerous bugs with Apple software, they are not very good, seems each update of IOS gets worse not better. And of course there is not way to tell Apple directly, all I can do is state my problem here and hope they read these forums. I went to the Apple store, their responses are typically worthless, "reset your device" then spend hours setting everything up again seems to the company line for everything they aren't familiar with.

Apple, let's make the things you have work GREAT instead of focusing on rolling out new products all the time. I used to hear that is was all about the Customer Experience, well, you have poor customer experience so let's fix it please.

Sorry to rant but this is very frustrating to not be able to even make a simple phone call.

I also have the Jaybird Bluebuds X and I love them. I used them with my iPhone 5 - no issue. But with my 6 and iOS 8.3 they constantly drop out, disconnect etc.

The same headphones work perfectly well with my Yosemite iMac and MacBook Pro so I'm pretty sure it's iPhone/iOS-related. This particular phone is actually new; and had the full DFU-mode wipe and restore done so I do not believe it's an issue with the particular device.

I've tried turning BT off/on. Tried Forgetting the BT device and re-pairing. Tried Resetting All Network Settings. I'm not going to lose and evening to wiping and restoring a phone that was only recently installed...

Would love to know if anyone has is seeing these issues. I've switched back to wired headphones and I *hate* it.

I have this Problem on all my Apple devices (IPhone 5s, IPad mini with IOS 8.3 and Mac mini with Mac OS 10.10.3)

I can not add a new device on this Systems. They found anything.

I have testet with other Phones and PC´s. No Problems

I hope it will be fixed soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had the same issue yesterday morning before a long run and I didn't even run because the connection was dropping in and out. I tried the same Bluebuds X with my ipad that has not been updated and no issues there.

It seems the update may be the cause as I just started looking for solutions but this issue may be beyond the user level.

Have been having trouble with bluetooth and connecting since february. Than i could magically connect. Now I have bought me a new speaker-system and magically, I can't connect. Regardless if I try to erase all data or forget the device (which the phone even can't find). But my boyfriend, and his iphone 6, he can connect. But we can't connect with ipads, imac or ibook pro.

Apple come on!

And it is hard to not tell you what I think about your software.

Ps: Lovely greetings from Sweden.

Update: I was able to prove that the issue was tied to my iPhone 6. I paired the Bluebuds with iPhone 6's in the local Apple Store with no problem. Made a Genius Bar appointment, backed up my iPhone. In the Store we did "Erase All Content and Settings" - still had same problem. Then did a complete wipe and restore of 8.3 - still had same problem. Swapped devices - all good!

Installed update on all my devices this weekend. Sunday get on my car and driving and cant get phone to work with my car bluetooth, which was automatic, no contacts . Cannot use the cars Navigation system because it needs my phone... Apple use to be better than this!!! Bluetooth is one of the cardinal functions that RD tests before deploying such updates. Apple needs to "clean" engineering dept - too many messups!

I am also having this issue with my iPhone 5s, iOS 8.3 connecting to my 2015 Chevy Equinox. It connected fine until I updated to iOS 8.3, now it looses connection after a couple of connects and I can't reconnect until I clear from both my phone and my car. Then this morning even clearing the connections, I couldn't get it connected at all. Very frustrating!

Same issue with wireless earbuds that worked fine before 4/23/2015– when they suddenly just dropped off. My iPhone 6 Plus now will not recognize the device. I assumed the problem was the inexpensive earbuds and contacted the manufacture who kindly sent me a replacement set; same issue persists with the new set. Pretty sure it's the iPhone software but I don't want to go through the hassle of a "Restore" only to find out that it still doesn't work like the many other posters on the internet.

I hope Apple fixes this issue soon with the next iOS update.

I have this problem I found this today. Common guys give us some suggestion.

.I have this Problem on all my Apple devices IPhone 5C, IPad 3rd gen and IPad 4th gen will not connect to each other or to my laptop.

I am in the same boat. I didn't have any issues with my bluetooth connected devices. Based off this thread I guess I am lucky that it's only effect one of my devices. For some reason my UE Boom speaker will not pair with my iPhone 6 unless I make the phone forget the device and then reestablish the connection through the pairing process. It has only been an issue since updating the phone to iOS 8.3. The odd thing is that I have an iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.3 and no issues with it and any bluetooth device.

I've tried reset everything and even gone as far as restoring the phone. Hopefully there is a fix in the next update.
