Q: iPhone SE Bluetooth issues

Add to horrible Bluetooth connection from my iPhone SE 9.3.1:

Panasonic KX-TG78 phone

Honda Odyssey 2008

Motorola Sonic Rider

Toyota Prius 2012

it's not the cars nor the speakerphone.  it's the phone.  I had a Motorola KRZR prior to this, and that one worked flawlessly, and we also have a iPhone 5S linking to all of the above with no issues.

they really need to fix this!

I have the same problem. My iPhone 5s  and new LG G5 work perfectly in my Bluetooth cars and with my Bluetooth roadster. But the iPhone SE Bluetooth is not  working well. Terrible static and crackles on the receiver side. I spoke to Apple today. She knew nothing until I pointed her to this thread. I have no idea  if and when we will see a fix.

Not a guarantee, but all signs point to next week.

And what signs are those?

There is no "fix."  Some have claimed that the second beta of 9.3.2 has helped, and others say that the third beta has reintroduced the problem.  No one knows for sure whether this is a hardware or software problem, as Apple has said absolutely nothing.  From reading this board and others it's pretty much certain that 100% of the SE's come with the problem, and that they show 0% compatibility with all bluetooth audio devices.  Anyone who says they know what the problem is or when it will be corrected is either guessing or lying.  Your best bet, unless bluetooth audio is unimportant to you, is either to avoid buying an SE for now or return it while you can unless the problem is definitively corrected prior to the closing of your return window.

Back again lol, can't wait for you to eat you words, its coming.

In the mean time there is no need  listen to this tosser.

Yes, don't listen to me.  After all, I'm saying that we won't know it's fixed until it's fixed.  Blasphemy.

Here we go again !!!

Stop repeating the same crap over and over, you are just trolling, nothing better to do?

I Agree,

Oh, I'm saving this post.....

Some of us already have SEs that are fixed, so it's moronic for you, who doesn't have an SE, to claim that there is no fix. Having said that, I agree that if those that are having BT problems they find unacceptable are within their return period, it would be prudent to return it while they can and repurchase it once the fix that some of us already had is made available to the general public.

Hi Guys!

I've the same problem... iPhone SE 64 GB space gray with my Sony MW1 and with my Volkswagen Golf VII audio from bluetooth calls is terrible.. If the person speak a little lower is better.. Audio from music streaming in bluetooth is perfect..

What I do? I've buy my SE 04/27 .... Until when i'm in the period for return? I love this watch, and i don't want to roll back to 6/6S

I don't understand if all of the SE have this problem or not... I can change mine, but is 1 hour driving from my home..

Have a good day all.

Sorry, not true - my SE connects faultlessly with no issue on bluetooth sound and has continued to do so (as reported on page 18 of this discussion). Agree, we lucky ones are few but it does seem to indicate its not a hardware issue unless Apple are using different bluetooth chip suppliers, in which case those given replacements would go away happy because you would think Apple would replace from the "good chip" stock to avoid more flak!. Neither is it likely a car issue because that would point to the Audi TT being the only vehicle with compatible bluetooth chips/software - very hard to believe also.

More likely it's software related but no one knows for sure so your advice for those concerned is valid.

THis is 2016 and big companies like Apple don't and won't improve on communication.

They only deliver the ( not flawless) hardware for that.

I knew that Apple was not the king of admitting mistakes and errors, but it have to say

I've become more and more disappointed in this organisation.

The denial, removing posts and zero updates make me worry.

Probably this is just a minor issue to them and has no priority?

Funny thing is; would I tread my clients like Apple does, there would be no client left..

What's the problem by admitting a mistake, letting people know your working on it,

point out the (software/hardware-) problem and keep customers posted when a fix is due?

Hello Gijsteraar

This is normal for a company who left the contact to their client behind. They are so arrogant an need to fall down to the bottom and strungle again for live as in the mid nineties.

I can't imagine why a company which so much manpower can't have a perfect after sales an take care off their clients.

I hope Apple will survive but they need to change a lot to satisfy their custumers. They must know that the new area they are penetration are all new customers. They have no long relation to apple an they will swap back to Samsung or LGT if they are not satisfy. We as longtime Apple Customers have another relation and won't swapped that easy but when they will ignore our documentated bugs and feedback. We will also swap and then never come back. I am waiting now for more than 2 1/2 years that they solve 3 serious bugs. No reaction at all. Still open, when I open an new AppleCare case the first reaction is that their is no known bug and i am the first. Strange in this (and forums) hunderds of threads are found about this bugs. For apple these hunderds are ZERO
