Since I upgraded to OS11 my iPhone 6 keeps disconnecting from the Bluetooth in my car, a Mazda 6 2015 vintage. To reconnect I have to select the phone on my cars infotainment unit and off it goes working for a while longer until it again disconnects mid song. This didn’t occur prior to OS11, any ideas?
Hello Pathfineroz,
I was having the same problem with my Bluetooth devices continuously disconnecting and then reconnecting on the iPhone after the iOS 11 update. It did this with all Bluetooth devices such as my car, powerbeats, etc. I use my Bluetooth headphones at the gym and on runs so you can see how this was a huge annoyance for me.
Anyways, this morning I was reading some articles and came across one that suggested I should reset all networks. I did that along with hitting the “forget this device” feature. I’ve been using my Bluetooth wireless headphones ever since I did that (for a little over an hour) and voila I haven’t had any disconnection issues!
I am not tech savvy whatsoever and I didn’t read through all of the comments in this discussion so hopefully I am not being repetitive and I am able to provide some assistance.
Did a complete phone reset too, no different.
Is there a way to get this issue registered with Apple direct without having to physically go to a shop? Perhaps if we all did this, it might trigger a fix.
can't Apple respond with a solution that works? I just upgraded to 11.03 (I hadn't started with 11.0) and suddenly my Boom2 earpiece keeps disconnecting. It's impossible to use - so the iPhone is impossible to use.
Come on Apple - get your act together!
Same issue except with a Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset and an iPhone 8 Plus. BT randomly switches off during a phone call and diverts to iPhone mic and speaker. I have to manually select it again from the iPhone screen.
I hope 11.0.4 fixes this.
There will be no 11.0.4 update. There are just too many bugs throughout the entire phone for a patch to be issued, otherwise we would have seen it already.
My guess it that Apple is reworking the iOS from the ground up. Most likely we will see 11.1.0 in a few more days, if not weeks.
I have a similar issue with a sony SRS-XB30 speaker and a iphone 8. it will pair and play perfectly for some time. Then, the sound will start breaking up and eventually the bluetooth connection will drop. I then usually have to restart the iphone to get things working again.
My BT (iPhone 7) constantly and regularly (every 90 seconds) disconnects in my '16 BMW 435. Has only been since I did the update to IOS 11.0.3; never before. Have tried most of the suggestions and the problem either comes back or never stops, depending on what I try.
Oddly, I have no problems with my Apple Watch or Bose wireless headphones.
What gets my goat the most is that Apple refuses to acknowledge that there is an enormous problem with iOS 11.0.3, and that thousands of users are effected by this horrible release. They give no indication as to when there will be a fix. Their complete silence is like a slap in the face to all Apple users who paid more than $1,000.00 for a phone that simply doesn't work.
Bluetooth is part of their core technology, and that is the biggest bug. And it's not the only one either. I have found four persistent bugs that make my life miserable. Let's see if Apple recovers from this blunder.
Hello Everyone,
I am an Apple fan but they are making it very hard for me to keep the faith. i have tried all suggestions and I still have the issue. My blue Tooth disconnects and then reconnects again and I have to re-select the option to continue. As mentioned previously the option doesn't appear to disconnect if only the phone is connected, it is when I am streaming music via blue Tooth the disconnect occurs. What really annoys me is you can't really get help other than self-help such as this forum. Apple don't appear to list issues they are having so I can't tell if I am alone (Clearly not with this post). I would be happy to know that there officially was a problem with Blue tooth, I would then check from time to time to see if there is a firmware update. If they disagreed there was a problem I would then move on to my car manufacturer but the problem started with the iOS update so I start here. This is really starting to feel like the company has a problem with communication. It is so unnecessary as it is likely we are all Apple fans but are starting to lose our faith. Please Apple swallow your pride and post current issues and the progress made on addressing them, I for one would respect this approach.
Kind Regards,
Pathfinderoz
I agree. The worst thing about this is Apple's silence about what are clear flaws in the iOS.
Especially this problem, simultaneous with the release of their $1,000 phone that requires strong and reliable Bluetooth since it has no headphone jack!
HELLO APPLE. Where are you?
Now that I have seen these comments, I think my issue is the same. Annoyingly, the Bluetooth only drops in my car when I am streaming Pandora (but it always does it). When paired in the car, it never drops a call or when
playing downloaded music.
Just had problems with disconnecting again myself so looks like I jumped the gun thinking it actually worked for me. It only happens with my car Blue Tooth. I contacted Apple Support and they suggested that I look for a firmware update for my car but this is an Apple problem, not a problem with my car.
I was feeling hopeful about a solution since some of you are saying you don't have problems after the update but I updated to 11.1 yesterday and unfortunately, I still have connectivity issues in my car. This is only happening in my car. All other devices don't disconnect like this.
Waiting for next update to truly fix this for me. 😢
This is crazy. Is there somebody at cupertino who can read these posts and solve the problem? My iphone 6s since upgraded to ios11 works as cheap chinesse toy with my Audi bluetooth - connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect.
I am really disappointed and expecting update which will solve this problem!!!!!
or should I go to samsung store.... please advise
Well I got tired of this problem. Can't use my phone for work, so I pulled out an older 16GB Google Nexus 5X from my spare phone collection. It updated to the latest Android Oreo (8.0). Actually quite pleased with it (over my iPhone 8 Plus; 256GB) and may continue to use it for quite a while longer even after Apple fixes this problem. Go figure... $200 current phone vs $1000 iPhone.
Same happens to me since upgrading to 11.x. Happened on my iPhone 6s and my older 5s. Drops all bluetooth connections - my jambox, beats headphones, and Ford Mustang. Drops ever 1-5 mins, then automatically reconnects. Super annoying.
Since iOS11 Bluetooth keeps disconnecting
