Bluetooth not working after iPhone 1.1.4? Simple fix
Posted 28 February 2008 @ 9am in Troubleshooting
While iPhone software/firmware update 1.1.4 fixed some serious Bluetooth issues introduced with version 1.1.3 — including incompatibility with GPS units from Garmin (StreetPilot C550, Nuvi 360, 760, etc.), some integrated car Bluetooth systems and more — it also introduced the inability to use Bluetooth at all for some users.
Fortunately, all the users we’ve spoken with who have encountered this problem had success with a fix we’ve mentioned before: Toggling Airplane Mode on and off. To do this, turn Bluetooth off, then navigate to Settings, then slide Airplane Mode to On, wait a few seconds, then slide it back to Off. It seems that discontinuing and restarting the EDGE and WiFi components in the iPhone can restore connectivity.

With 1.1.4 I’ve started having trouble with the clicker not responding for music pause/play or song skipping. I can use it to answer/end calls though.

I was really disappointed with 1.1.4. the Bluetooth in my Acura worked great with 1.1.3 but started acting inconsistently after the update. I tried to downgrade back to 1.1.3 with no luck, the tried recovery, reinstalling iTunes, and everything suggested elsewhere and still no luck. Finally I went to the Apple Store Genius Bar and “reset” preferences, in General settings on the phone and that did the trick.

my Bluetooth handsfree car system in my prius has never worked well with tv iPhone. The main problem is the sound…it starts out loud and clear but it fades out a few minutes into the conversation and its next to impossible to hear the caller.
Never had this problem with my other BT phones.

I use a UConnect Bluetooth system in my car. No issues with iPhone 1.1.4.
