iPhone SE Bluetooth issues

Yepp, and I'm following the thread just to help.

I wonder if everyone has really tried the suggested fixes or if they just read that the fixes don't work for others and presume they won't work for them.

I was skeptical on resetting the network settings (totally skeptical) and it worked for me.

This guy tried my suggestion on LTE and it worked for him:

And again, I blame Apple for being silent...

Dont do **** just take it back for your money back, if you bought a new car and the radio didnt work what would u do? Contact the manufacture and try to fix it yourself or take it back and get ur money back, People they make more then one model, don't give in if your not satisfied. This forum aint going to provide u with a fix

Same here, bought a new jeep renegade just after the iPhone se and I blamed the car's uConnect, came to this post and tried with my wife's phone 5s which worked just fine. Will have a call with apple tomorrow and keep following this thread.

Please forgive me if this thought has been previously expressed:

I have a new SE and also paired it over Bluetooth with a BMW (though UK). The resultant audio quality was deeply unimpressive. I checked my BMW phone software version and found it to be TN-002.033.002. I visited the BMW update page, inserted my chassis number and found a newer version: TN-002.034.070. The installation notes for this update mention better audio quality with Apple devices. I updated the car with this version and the audio quality is indeed now immeasurably improved.

Great ill up date my 2006 HONDA info with your new Bmw software and I should be good to go😮

If car navigation has an update, then it is good to try, but not every manufacturer will/may release software + even if update is release it doesn't guarantee that there is a fix for Bluetooth issue. For example in my case, I have few headsets that I use and there is no update for them. Hope that Apple will release official statement and will release a software update(if iOS issue).

im curious what you did with regards to Network settings? All I did was disable reset and it did nothing. What did you do?

I called Apple Support (Sweden) again today. When I said that Apple still hasn't acknowledged this problem, they told me that Apple has posted this problem on Apple.com ??? Where I wonder 🙂

I have the very same exact problem. I purchased my iPhone SE 64GB space grey the day it came out (first batch presumably). Coming from an iPhone 5 user. The call quality via bluetooth to 2010 Toyota Prius (US) is noticeably distorted. So distorted and scratchy, I have to hang up a few important calls and re-dial while disconnecting the Bluetooth. Everything sounds perfect, songs, radios, YouTube. It's just the voice call that is causing the distortion. No, it is not from my car's bluetooth because I have went back to the 5 to tested out and the sound quality for calling is crystal clear.

P.S. I'm planning to make a visit at the Genius Bar this Saturday. Tempted to hear what they would say.

Same issue- I've got an '09 sienna- never had a problem with my other iPhones. I'm picking up a new replacement SE phone tomorrow- but doubting it will fix the problem. But that was the best apple could offer for right now.

HI all

Painfully sharing the same problem of inaudible speech of incoming calls with you all.

When the other side is using iPhone it's acceptable though.

for the record:

No problem at all when using iPhone 4 with the same car and the same service provider before.

I returned the one that I bought from t-mobile few days ago and just bought a new one, hoping that it is a newer batch/lot with slightly different internals. I haven't opened the box yet, but will do soon and report back.

I have a 2010 MB E350. Before the software update to 9.3.1, my phones worked find connected to my car via Bluetooth. Now my car is not listed under "My Devices" on my phone. I cannot connect with my car. Apple customer support says it is a problem with software compatibility and that Mercedes will have to address it. My issue is that the phone worked fine before the update, so Apple needs to work with Mercedes and develop a patch/update that would match. Now I am forced to go to the dealership and pay about $100 for a download that I should not have to pay. 😠

Does anyone know where I could get a d/l from the net that would take care of this?

In my case a new fresh install from Itunes solved this issue for 70% or so. I can now use bluetooth in my car, but it still needs improvement. I bet it is a software issue.

So I opened the box of brand new SE and it came with 9.3.1 out of the box. Tried Bluetooth headset again and issue is still there. I didn't even bother to restore from backup and will exchange/return it tomorrow.
