Iphone X Bluetooth connectivity issues

Iphone X on ios 11.1.1 does not see any devices to pair. The searching for devices in >settings>bluetooth just "spins". It can't see my watch, car or headphones. Is there a fix?

iPhone X, iOS 11.1

iOS 11.1.2 does the same thing on my nice new iPhoneX. Bluetooth just sits there and spins and can't find anything. I have a simple hands free device in my truck, a pair of Sony Headphones, and my OBD II device... nothing works.

Help??

I have the same issue . It drops connectivity with my AVIC-8200NEX stereo, cannot connect to my airpods, bose wireless headphones and my HIFI Elite headphones. I already resetted my phone to no avail so I have to make another trip to the store top replace it.

My issue is my iPhone X will pair with my car just fine but phone calls can not be heard through the car speakers. Podcast and Music works just fine. I have read that to fix this you need to do:

What finally worked was to delete BT pairing on phone and Uconnect, signing out of my iCloud account, Hard Reset phone, then re-pair the phone BT w/ Uconnect.

Once I verified that the calls were now working as expected, I re-enabled iCloud on the phone and have been able to make calls as normal since.

I haven't tried this yet but will shortly. Hopefully this helps you all as well.

My iPhone X connects to my bluetooth Oontz speaker and it shows it's connected in Settings>Bluetooth, but when I try to play music from my iPhone it comes over the speaker all broken up.

I have a similar problem with my iPhone X. Some devices I can discover others it just spins. My iPhone 6 can find these devices without any issues. Apple fix the Bluetooth issues.
