iPhone 8 bluetooth issues

I have also had problems with the Bluetooth on the iPhone 8. Cannot keep connectivity with my hands free speaker for my phone in my truck. I had a Motorola Roadster 2. I could not keep the phone connected to the Roadster. I bought a Jabra Freeway and same issues. The Roadster worked fine with my 7, same operating system, iOS 11. Something is wrong with the 8’s Bluetooth. The Roadster works fine with my wife’s iPhone 7.

My watch disconnected again with the 11.0.1 update when I got into the car. It seems like the problem occurs after several connect disconnects on Bluetooth. It was fine for the first couple of days after the new install of 11.0.1.

i have the same issue on my iPhone 8 plus and after contacting apple support, I was told to do a backup and factory reset my phone, which I did. After restoring my data from the backup, I am still having the same issues. It connects to my Bluetooth devices but loses connection and re-connects all the time ( my devices are: Huawei smart watch, 2017 car, Samsung Bluetooth headphones, Miband).

before iPhone 8 , i had an iphone 7 which had no issues until i updated the OS to iOS 11, which makes me think that this is a iOS issue and not iPhone 8 specific.

My iPhone 5 would automatically know I was in my car and connect with my bluetooth radio. I just got an iPhone 8 and the bluetooth is working like crap. I installed the latest update to iOS 11 and it still won't automatically connect to my radio in my car. I need to go into Settings and manually tell it to connect. It never works the first time, it fails and I need to tell it to connect again. After the second try it will connect (usually), but I can't guarantee that it won't just drop the connection during a call or music. For the $900+ bucks I'm paying for this phone it should perform the basic functions my old phone did without any problems. I'm very unhappy about this. My advice to Apple is: Get the basics right before you add all the technocrap features.

I have an iPhone 7 and after the upgrade to iOS11, I am seeing my Fossil Founder Q watch drop Bluetooth pairing several times every hour. When I get into my 2017 car and the phone pairs with my car, the watch drops the connection.

I, too, think that it is an iOS issue with the Bluetooth version and various devices to which I try to pair my iPhone. My phone stays paired to my Apple Watch and Tile devices but cuts in and out on Bluetooth with my hands free car phone speakers. The folks at the Genius Bar are clueless. I have tried to pair the phone to two separate Motorola Roadster 2 devices and one Jabra Freeway device. The Bluetooth connection cuts in and out on all 3. It initially pairs for about 5 minutes then drops an immediately reconnects. Then disconnects.

All of my Polar devices (V800 and V650) have problems working with my new iPhone 8 plus. All worked fine with the same OS version on my iPhone 6. Very unhappy about this. I reset the device, reinstalled, the V800 works once after a forget the device and pair again. The V650 never completes a synch

I’ve had exactly the same problem and I even changed my phone but it’s still dropping. I’ve disvovered some type of solution - you need to take Bluetooth off before you are in car and then connect manually. This way it connects and doesn’t drop - but Apple need to realise this is a real problem. I’m on the verge of taking this back and getting an S8.

I have the same issue after upgrading from iPhone7 Plus to iPhone8 Plus.

My Mio Fuse did work flawlessly with my iPhone7 Plus but keep on connecting and drop in iPhone8 Plus. Tried different method like reset network setting, deleting the Apps and reinstall, forget the devices and etc. None of them works.

I also noted my Airpod keeps on randomly try to connect though it is already connected to function and play music, as I heard the "ton" sound sometimes when in use.

Apple should find out a fix for this!

I've had the iPhone 8 plus for 4 days and just updated to iOS 11.0.3. I've had no problem with Bluetooth connection to my 2015 Jeep Cherokee's Uconnect or my sister's Bluetooth radio device in her car, but I can't connect to my Taotronics Bluetooth Headphones no matter what I do!

After reading all of the comments of people restoring their phones in hopes to fix the Bluetooth problems with no luck, I probably won't try it...at least until I get really desperate.

Apple HELP!!!!!!

I have the same issue as others have described had the iPhone 8+ for about 3 weeks now and I hate it. Apple really needs to take this issue seriously as this could be a major liability issue for the company, as bluetooth allows the phone to be handsfree. Apple needs to own this issue and fix this asap or I am returning my device shortly.

Shame on a company that is suppose to be worldclass producing third class hardware/software. I cant belive the most basic feature does not work in a reliable manner. Apple work on getting the basics right before you move onto offering complex features!
