I have just updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 9.3.1, my Garmin Fenix 3 now won't connect and similar issues in my car and bluetooth speakers. I have reset network settings with no luck. I have done a soft reset on the phone and 'forgot devices' and attempted to re-pair once again with no luck. The devices are now not showing up as visible on the device.
Is anyone else experiencing bluetooth issues with iOS 9.3.1
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1, Three UK
I'm having issues with my Garmin Vivosmart since 9.3.1 was installed, so having same issue as you've described. The Garmin connects just fine with my iPad (9.2.1).
Same Issue with an Iphone 6 under 9.3.1 and my mybook pro (10.11.3)
Before the upgrade everything was ok
Now... :-(
The pairing works but the connectivity is desactivated after 3s....
Garmin connect app for my iPhone 6s and my wife's 5s no longer work after the upgrade to iOS 9.3.1. The app itself can no longer display our data nor can our fitness devices sync with our phones. Everything was working just fine on 9.3.
Yeah if you check Garmin support page, Garmin Connect is down at present. This is just another issue to add to the bluetooth problems 😠.
I managed to get mine to pair yesterday then Garmin Connect servers are down today, talk about first world problems. I'm hoping it was more Garmin's servers having issues than iOS 9.3.1. To get mine to work efficiently yesterday I restored the software through my Mac
To get mine to work I restored my phone through my Mac. Choose the option on the watch to "pair with mobile device" then opened Garmin Connect and a code popped up allowing me to pair it properly. The problem is as you may be aware Garmin Connect is now down, this might have been part of the issues from yesterday I was experiencing. Ill keep you updated I've got my eye on their Twitter page
Thanks for the reply. I did not see that Garmin's servers were down at the time I replied. I had updated both phones last night only to find the Garmin app was stuck in a loop this morning when I tried to sync. Since the iOS update was the last change made, I wrongly assumed the update was to blame. It looks like Garmin has at least update the response the server gives to the app because it no longer gets stuck in a loop, displays a "servers are down for maintenance" message and the app is able to load my previous data again.

You do realize that an iphone and mac cannot be linked via bluetooth for data transfer correct?
Theyve never been able to.
Thats what airdrop is for.
The only supported bluetooth connection that is supported is to use cellular data for internet connectivity on the computer.
OS X Yosemite: Connect to the Internet with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone
Thank you for your feedback Bryan
I was aware about the data transfert, I used only my BT connection for an internet connection from my Mac :-)
On my Ipad I used the BT connection to define my Iphone as remote for Keynote.
After 1h with the Apple support, that was very good, the technician who has taken the control on my Mac was not able to find the issue (iphone : full restaure ...).
Now my last status is : My iphone 6 can only detect my bluetooth speakers (BT4) and nothing else ( My headphone : BT3, still nok, Link ?) .
The technician asked me to bring my Iphone to an Apple Store (according to him, I have an hardware issue raised by the update :-( )
Regards
Hello,
I got the same issues... In fact when I go to Settings > Bluetooth, it will crash the app. It started when I first upgraded to iOS 9.3 and I was hoping that Apple will resolve the issues in next release 9.3.1 but I guess not...
Currently, I can not add any new bluetooth devices... Any thoughts?
I'm having the same issue of Bluetooth connectivity since updating. My iPhone 6S has dropped BT connection with my Apple Watch several times this past weekend. I noticed the red rectangle with a slash thru it on my Apple Watch. I reset both and had to manually go into settings to reconnect them. It seems that once I select "unlock with iPhone" in my Apple Watch settings, it should not forget this even after updating but this isn't the first time Ive had to change this setting back. But even after that, my watch and phone disconnected. I also noticed it did not auto connect with my hands free link to my car this morning and hand to manually reconnect them.
Everything is working now but these were just some out of the ordinary issues that on the whole are minor but if they continue, could be more than an annoyance.
Same issue. Since iOS 9.3.1 bluetooth connection will not work anymore at least notification from iOS to Garmin vivosmart not working. Before iOS 9.3.1 worked fine.
HI ALL
Same problem with my garmin edge 520 not syncing to phone......
however
i have found that if the garmin connect app is open on the phone it now connects which was never the case....
as soon as you close the app it disconnects the bluetooth connection from device to phone
Hope this helps anyone
I updated to 9.3.1 and now my Pebble isn't running smoothly as before.
Sometimes connection is ok, but for no reason disconnects.
I have an Anker Bluetooth speakers that was working fine before the update.
Now I feel like the Bluetooth is slowly.
Sending things to my watch is slow, music on my speakers keep hiccups etc...
What Apple did?
My Polar H7 Heart Rate sensor would not connect this morning after I upgraded to iOS 9.3.1 over the weekend.
This is a big pain.
iOS 9.3.1 bluetooth problems?
