iOS 10.2 Bluetooth issues

Does anyone else experience issues with iOS 10.2 and last 2 updates with the Bluetooth?

After applying the update where Bluetooth issues gets fixed (iOS 10.1.2 I think) on my iPhone 6s my problems appeared.

When I want to start Bluetooth from Control Center it gets a little stuck, button disables and it enables itself back on and Bluetooth starts working.

When I connect my Plantronics headset and try to start Siri the phone freezes.

Sometimes when I manage to call someone through Siri the phone just freezes for about 5-10 seconds and headset gets disconnected and reconnects back on.

Even when I try to answer calls with my headset connected the iPhone freezes sometimes and I have to wait for it to get back to life.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Bluetooth connections since "the fix" patch was installed?

Thank you!

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.2

Been having bluetooth issues with my plantronics since the update of ver 10 and above.

I thought 10.2 would have solve it, but the bluetooth connectivity keeps dropping every now and then and made the calls hanging halfway. C'mon Apple, can't you do something right this time? It's like so many updates from ver 10 onwards and this doesn't get fixed.

I Was driving today with waze and another app connected to my carstereo through my iPhone Bluetooth. I got disconnected 3 x, had to stop the car and turn it back on again. Glad I wasn't on the expressway!!! Pretty frightening experience, as I was in a dangerous neighborhood. I have an iphone 5 and the latest IOS version.

Has anyone come up with anything to fix this? Until this last update my Motorola T215 worked just fine in my car. Now when I try to connect my iPhone shows a pair of headphones and won't connect to my bluetooth. I've tried all the "hacks" and resetting of things and it still won't work. My iphone works just fine on speaker phone, but the bluetooth is useless. Help!! 🙂

Have you tried a different set of Bluetooth headphones? A different phone with these headphones?

Same here in 10.3. My 6s+ connects to my car stereo but no sound. Even connecting via lighting cable is spotty after th iOS 9 update. Cmon apple....let's go back to the days where "it's just works".

Go to Settings/Do not disturb/Activate. And set Bluetooth to “when connected to car bluetooth”. Then try to sync again
