Bluetooth issues with iPhone X?

Hi David,

Thanks for the tips on connecting with the Genius bar.

None of my preexisting bluetooth devices came over when I restored my iCloud back up. There was nothing to delete.

I am unable to view any Bluetooth devices period.

Thank you,

Joe

I don't think [at least for me] any of my Bluetooth devices came over from the iCloud backup from my old phone to my new phone. I had to as I recall, pair my devices to my new phone. Have you put your Bluetooth devices in pairing mode to connect to your new iPhone X.

my Bower&Wilkins P7 headphones used to auto connect with my iPhone 7, now, with my updated and more expensive iPhone X I can’t do this anymore and need to manually connect every time my headphones to my photo. Lame...

99.9% of these Bluetooth issues arise from devices which were previously paired with a device, and subsequently not properly paired with the new device. It could be that the previous device is nearby and your P7's are trying to connect to it. It could be that you didn't clear the memory on the P7 before you paired with your new phone. But it's usually (no offense) a user created issue.

You need to do some troubleshooting.

1. Is the old phone still in your possesion? If yes, have the old phone forget the P7

2. Did you factory reset the P7 before you paired it with your new phone?

3. Did you precisely follow the direction provided by B&W on pairing the headphones to your new phone?

4. If all else fails contact B&W and ask them for help.

I followed my advice to pair my Parot Zik 3.0, which were previously paired to my iPhone 6 and I've had no issues whatsoever connecting automatically to my iPhone X every time I turn them on.

Go to restrictions and check there or to location and look around there, something else may b connection unknowingly through the location settings, go through each one and see what all is on or off. You may have to reset that in General in network settings as well.

Thank you!! Resetting my headphones was indeed the solution! I know now that my headphones had my old iPhone as primary device. Now it works. Happy again. Thank you! :-)

That's great. Glad to help and I hope others benefit from this as well.

Hi Guys, I'm urgently seeking a good mic to record content for the company. Have any of you tried to set up an external mic with the iPhone 8+ and Osmo Mobile 2? Wired or Wireless? Bluetooth even? Thanks in advance for sharin: ShowBox Lucky Patcher Kodi .

I also have this question. I am using Jabra Pro 925 headset. A connection did exist between the headset & iPhone X. But when the people hear me talking, the quality is a nightmare to them. Dear Apple technical team, Please deal with it ASAP! Thanks.

If the Samsung phone connects fine but nothing you can do will make your iPhone connect, feel free to make the switch.

However, as Apple tends to implement the latest versions of technologies, don't be surprised if a future Android update "breaks" the Samsung as well.

I just reset my phone and it did not help. I still cannot connect any audio functions to my Bluetooth sound link except a phone call. I have been using my phone through my car and on both of my Bose devices since I’ve had the phone. As of today it won’t play any audio. It’s connected, I can hear a phone call through it but not iTunes Pandora Spotify…Except a phone call. What can I do when I have already reset everything.

I am having same issues with my iPhone X and mind you this is my replacement phone (the first one had issues with Face ID ). I have terrible problems with Apple car play it keeps randomly connecting and disconnecting, same with my AirPods, dropping calls so annoying to the point that now I disable the Bluetooth when driving. First I thought it was a problem with my car. I took it to BMW dealership and have it serviced, they said they checked everything and everything is working fine. Then I tried to pair my wife’s iPhone 8 with the car and it worked perfectly, so I know it’s my phone. Now it drops AirPods on and off if not playing anything. I am to the point where I am considering switching to Samsung

Have you taken it in to your local Apple Store for diagnosis? As it's an X, it's still under warranty.

Just because it's a replacement doesn't mean the replacement isn't faulty in some way; it unfortunately happens, it's just the luck of the draw as is the case with all consumer electronics, yes including Samsung.

Just one example:

Solved: Galaxy S8 Bluetooth Connection - Samsung Community - 91240

I'm having the same issue. My Garmin Speak/Alexa device is set to talk through my phone to my car via Bluetooth - keeps failing to do so. I cannot pair my Plantronics Voyager Headset (doesn't even see it). I'm on 11.4 IOS, and I *just* got the device a couple of days ago. I had to reset both my Garmin & my phone just for it to SEE the Garmin Speak - my iPhone 7 did not have this issue.

When does IOS 12 come out and does it resolve this? Anyone know?

I am also having issues with bluetooth. It states connected but I hear nothing. When it does connect and work, after a few minutes it’ll stop. I am using plantronics behind the ear earphones.

Did you tell your phone to forget both and then re-pair them?
