Iphone 5c bluetooth spinning wheel of death
I got a new Iphone 5c, first thing I did is update to iOS 8.4.1 that just came out.
When I go to Settings -> Bluetooth I cannot enable BT , the setting wheel constantly spins.
When I go though the Control Center I can enable and disable BT ... but it has no effect the BT is off all the time.
I've browsed the forums in search of the answer and all the steps I was able to find so far din't work in my particular case.
Here is what I did, nothing changed the behavior:
- Reset the iPhone with the use of the Home + Sleep/Wake button combination.
- Reset the Network Settings from the Settings panel.
- Erase All Content and Settings from the Settings panel.
- Restored the iOS to factory settings using iTunes.
- Reverted the iOS to 8.4.0 using iTunes
- Signed up for the iOS 9.0 update 3 beta
And I'm kind of out of ideas at this point. Contacted the Apple Support and the've slotted me for a Genius Bar visit but that isn't until Thursday.
If anyone can help with additional ideas on how I can try to troubleshoot and fix it I would greatly appreciate it.
At this point however I think my BT might have been faulty from the very first moment I got the phone ... I never tried it on the 8.2 iOS it came with ... and I can't seem to revert back to 8.2 or 8.3 as those versions don't seem to be signed by Apple anymore.
Thanks for any advice in advance,
