iPhone SE Bluetooth issues

Tunes will wipe your phone completely and than download the latest version of iOS 9.3.1 in this case and then re-installs it on your phone, after this I installed my back up from my pc, this has resolved the issue for me completely

might not work for everybody

Hi sorry it didn't work out for you.

not sure if you did it from ITunes, this path worked fro me, I did try a factory reset from the phone, and back up from the cloud first this was a fail, I know not everybody uses iTunes but would recommend a go

Hi, i tried what you adviced. But i get an error trying to install the firmware new. "Source not found" ?? Looks like it doesnt want to download the software?

I tried to restore the software to factory settings, but get an error "Source not found" ?

reset doesnt help.. return

No, neither forced update or restore via iTunes worked for me using this instruction:

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

This was my 14th day with the SE why I made a visit to the closest Apple store to discuss the problem.

The good news is that they now admit the problem and are working on a solution.

The bad news is that they didn't yet know if it was hardware or software related, or could estimate when and how it would be fixed, according to the Apple genius in the store.

Anyway, I decided to return my SE and maybe get a new when they managed to fix it properly.

I have a brandnew iPhone SE and have the same issue with my FIAT. With my iPhone 4S till iOS 9 was Bluetooth in my car never a problem.

This is the latest in my tmobile saga with the SE. As tmobile did not have inventory of the SE when this issue first popped I

Up they sent me to Apple who replaced it twice. Now they won't exchange for *6s under buyers remorse.

Today i used my old iphone 4s and it was a blessing to make calls via BT and it clarified again the problem. On the way i returned the SE.

Surely if the phone don't work as advertised and they won't change it or give you your money back even after the 14 days then I would think its classed as not fit for purpose. More so with all the reports being on the apple website and if you went to the small claims court would apple not have a leg to stand on. Not sure on the sales act but I don't think they can just push it under the carpet

Same thing with Volvo V70. Distorted Calls, and when paired it drops the pairing when leaving the car and does not pick it up when back in the car and must be paired all over again each time

Also will not pair with working Wahoo heart rate monitor.

iOS 9.3.2 beta 2 has been released. I am not sure if public beta released as well..

Can somebody confirm if this release fix the problem? It would be nice to know as 14 day period expires soon. If it is fixed, we have hope, otherwise must send back.

I can confirm this is not a fix.

Did you install and test it? Sure?

Hi all, as I said before, days ago I talked to an Apple Senior Consultant, who told me the issue is well known, and they're working on it to fix, either with an iOS update, or with a device recall.

I previously restored my backup, and as many of yourselves I experienced the bluetooth bad call incoming voice with my new SE.

Now this is to let you know I just decided to waste one hour of my time, and downloaded 9.3.1 firmware, installed to the SE from DFU, then set the phone as new without restoring anything.

I still experience bad incoming voice bluetooth calls, so in my case it is not backup related.
