yes - I tried to re-pair all my devices. My phone is not discovering the devices. Just cycles. I can see it discovering other devices (none of mine)....I have powered it off several times as well to restart. Is there a setting I need to click that I am unaware of? I didnt have this problem with any other phone.
Unless it's an issue with that specific speaker, I still think something's amiss. I've had absolutely no issue connecting anything Bluetooth with my iPhone X. Since your phone is brand new, you can get Technical Support on a call and see if they can help you troubleshoot this.
Actually I had already installed 11.1.1 and was still experiencing inconsistencies with Bluetooth across all my multiple Bluetooth devices Airpods, b&o H5 and b&o H8. Sometimes it would stay stuck with one device and not move to the other one even though the choice was clearly available. I end up using multiple devices while traveling to optimize for over ear, noise cancelling and battery life.
Same hier got my Iphone X just a few days a go, on ios 11.11 no bluethooth functionality. Doesn't discovery any devices, no connect to my skullcandy headset or car (Volvo V60). Hoping for quick update! 😟😠

I am having the same issue with Acura Handsfreelink
It will disconnect and reconnect.
Very annoying. Seems to do it more when I start car. Tried re pairing.
Do do you have an Apple Watch. I am trying to narrow down why this does this. Never had an issue like this.
I dont recall an issue with my 7... this seemed to start with iPhone X... so maybe it is not just an ios 11 issue... It definitely was not an issue with ios 11.
I also get the music stopping when connected with USB to car (using acura built in USB plug). It stops and I have to keep restarting it.
No issues before
I’m having the same problem report here with my iPhone X and multiple Bluetooth devices and I’m on iOS 11.1.1. It is definitely a iPhone X issue as all devices worked fine on my iPhone 6s+.
The most consistent problem is with phone calls. The connected device cannot be used.
Hope there is a fix soon.
I have a Mercedes e class. My iPhone 7 had no issues what so ever. I managed to get the iPhone X to pair but as you say it keeps logging in and out over the course of a ten minute drive will do it three or four times. Nightmare.
My iPhone X is working flawlessly through my 2016 C Class. Did you have your E forget the previous device before you paired i?. Also and I'm not sure why, but make sure it has a different name than the iPhone 7 had. Settings > General > About > Name.
I've gone through all the various permutations... what seemed to work the last 10 minutes I drove my car was unplugging the 'Automatic' dongle. My radio stayed connected to the X for the full 10 minutes - hasn't done that since getting the X. Will continue to try permutations like unpairing Automatic and pluging it back in.
I just tried pairing with the BT speaker - and just finished a 2 hour conference call without any issues. So my problems seem to be focused on the Car. And potentially a conflict between Automatic and the Porsche PCM - which worked fine on the 7Plus.
I had an issue once and a Senior MB Tech had me rename the phone and all my woes went away. Maybe the car is looking for the electronic signature of the device it used to connect to under that name and gets confused?
I’m having major problems with Bluetooth connection with my iPhone X in my 2017 BMW X3. Phone keeps connecting and loosing connection and it keeps crashing the cars iDrive system.I tried everything mentioned in all the replies here and nothing works. I took the phone into an ATT store where they ran a diagnostic and found that the phone has a faulty Bluetooth.. I have an appointment today with an AppleGenious .
I tried restarting and that worked exactly one time. Subsequent restarts didn’t work consistently. Bluetooth works with relative consistency with music but not with phone calls — most important when driving.
I'm also having Bluetooth issues. My previous iPhone (7), would always connect to both of my cars automatically. Now it only connects to one and the other I have to connect manually every single time. Pretty aggravating.
Pandora is also having tons of issues. It freezes and I have to restart it a few times before it works.
Last night I was showing photos from my phone on my TV via airplay and it was super slow to the point of not working at times and also losing connection.
I'm regretting the purchase.
It's a $1,150 phone it should at least do the basic stuff right. Common Apple did you half baked the iPhone X?
Having trouble with connecting to UConnect with my iPhone X - both of my other iPhones (6 and 7s) connect without any issues. I deleted all phones from my UConnect configuration and added just the iPhone X back in. I did a reset of Network settings and it seemed to fix the problem temporarily. In my case, UConnect shows that it is is connected, but bluetooth audio doesn't work once it goes wonky. Reseting Network settings seems to get it working again.
Hi!I have massive Bluetooth issues, too with my iPhone X. Dropouts with headphones and AirPods. Location data ist not recorded when doing workouts with Apple Watch Series 3, etc. Took me some days to pinpoint. But it seems obvious that all issues (headphones, Apple Watch) seem to be Bluetooth related. Additionally my Apple Watch shows significantly higher battery consumption since it constantly falls back to cellular.
Sometimes when using headphones the audio seems to pick up rather quickly. Sometimes the connection is completely lost. With AirPods it is not as exaggerated with my other Bluetooth headphones but there are some hiccups here and there, too. I could not even do the initial setup of AirPods on iPhone X since the setup assistant did not show up automatically. With Apple Watch Series 3 it is pretty much the same. Connection is getting lost and will recover a short time afterwards.
I have reset Apple Watch and AirPods to factory settings and paired from scratch with no effect. The same with the other Bluetooth headphones where I have reset the pairing. And I have reset all network settings, too.
I will try a reset from scratch w/o using a backup. Maybe it will help? Any experiences? And has anyone tried iOS 11.2 beta yet?
