Bluetooth On iPhone 6 keeps dropping connection to AppleWatch

Hate is a strong work. I am sorry that you were not happy with the response but lets remember its free advice based upon very limited information. It's certainly possible this is a device specific problem, and it it is, a forum cannot fix that. The forum will assist in common problems that others have already experienced and found a resolution too. Best of luck resolving your issue. Apple Support is good for 90 days, maybe you should start there.

Phil,

I believe I have fixed the problem with some harsh medicine. I did a full factory restore on my iPhone 6 and set it up as a new phone then paired the watch. So far so good. No constantly dropping connection. I will let you know if anything changes.

I believe some internal settings for the bluetooth were incorrect / corrupted. I suggest that you not use a backup because you just may be restoring bad settings over good.

I'm having a similar bluetooth drop issue in my car with my iPhone 6s. In the middle of a call, I'll hear the disconnect tones... my stereo kicks back on... but the call is still in progress. A second or two later, the phone reconnects to the car's bluetooth and call resumes. Very annoying, and it did not happen with my iPhone 5 in the same car (made hundreds of calls over three years with that combination). It's happened at least a dozen times over the last three weeks with my new 6s.

No other bluetooth devices in the vicinity, and the 6s is the only device paired with the car - I removed the 5's profile (not that I should have to - the bluetooth spec allows and should handle multiple devices).

This is probably a car problem check with your dealership. Ford has a known issue and a patch was issued but has to be installed by the dealer or by downloading the file onto a jump drive and installing.

LOL - seriously?

So after three years of working perfectly through hundreds of calls, I change one (1) variable... the phone... and you conclude it's THE CAR? The same car that worked fine for three years and hundreds of calls with an iPhone 5?

Seriously?

How exactly did you come to this conclusion?

Having exactly the same problem. No problem with my 5s, but all of a sudden I get then regular drops. Like it loses interest after 5 minutes and then comes back. No problem with music streaming to the car, but the phone drops. Really irritating.

I have the same exact problem, and it's not the car. It happens in my car and with my BlueAnt headset -- both of which worked without incident when connecting to my iPhone 5s. Any insight would be appreciated. Assertions deflecting away from the issues (like saying it's the car) only serve to heighten frustration.

I'm having this exact issue and it's driving me crazy. iPhone 6s and Apple Watch Bluetooth stays connected for 24-48 hours, then drops and will not reconnect unless I toggle Bluetooth on my iPhone. During this time, all of my other Bluetooth devices connect which to me suggests an issue with low power Bluetooth.

I am having the same issue. i think that iOS 9.1 is also broken. I had iPhone 6 with iOS 8. No issues. Both iPhone 6 and 6s after upgrading to iOS 9, major from outs exactly as Gary described above. Very frustrating. Apple please fix this. Regretting the upgrade to iOS 9 😟

Well, the good news is... Apple is working on it. They contacted me, asked me a bunch of questions, and put some debugging code in my phone so they could see what was going on. The debug logs showing a few of these "events" are now in their hands, so hopefully they can figure it out soon.

I was very pleased with the experience... but will obviously be more pleased when it's actually fixed.

That is good news as I didn't know Apple used such tools to identity issues. I'm hoping this leads to an eventual solution... Please keep us updated...

That is great news as I have a major problem with this on my iPhone 6

I Am a sales rep and spend most of my day in my car. As a company we have iPhone 5's but changing to 6's but have stopped this due to the problem with the 6 dropping the Bluetooth and then reconnecting again. Just as described. But does not do it at all with the iPhone 5.

looking forward to the fix

I am also having this exact same issue with my iphone 6S plus. Made hundreds of calls with my 5S with no issues and this bluetooth drops several times per call. Has me scrambling to pick up my phone to continue the call and then it reconnects...only to drop again a minute or so later and continue this whole process over and over. This is pretty dangerous as you are driving. Funny thing is that I've bought two identical phones and only one of them is having this issue.

I have been frustrated as well. My apple watch is constantly disconnecting from the phone. Do we think its the watch or the phone!? iPhone 6s Plus😟

Hey have you had any success in fixing this problem? My car bluetooth drops so often its too frustrating! i need it resolved 😟
