Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Bluetooth issues with 6 plus

Update

Many issues with many devices, but its a bit of a muddle as some connect, but have calling issue on headsets or car audio, so after weeding some of the chaff, some things to try are:

Reset All Settings

Unpair past history

Turn off Siri (this maybe more related to calling issues on BT handsfree kits)

Turn off Location Services (this may be more an issue with some apps, not so much Location Services)

Some that restored a 6 or Plus from a past iPhone may require the Reset All Settings as this has confused the iPhone6 or Plus, and that its trying to connect to existing BT config/history which is wrong or non existent in the new device

Hi Ted

I didnt realise there was a Forget. Just arrived at work and dont have a Forget on the Plus, but then again, I have no past BT connection history to Forget. But, I have used the Air and 5S before without issue. Not at the same time though

On reading your email, and making my coffee, one variable has come to mind. My daughter has my 5S. I restored the 5S backup to my Plus, so one possibility is that the BT function is confused, that the new device was sorta the old device which will also have BT on.

One oddball thing happened when I Reset Network Settings. My iCloud storage went went 4.98GB available to 5.0 available. My battery usage stats were reset, and when I try to pair the Plus it was Now Discoverable As Tony's iPhone 6 Plus, now its just called iPhone. A few anomalies.

I'll do some Googling at lunch and breaks, and tonight I'll turm off BT on the daughters 5S and see what happens

Ill try Reset All Settings as well

Tks!

I think "Reset All Settings" might be enough.

Sorry I didn't explain myself better.. I have plenty of Bluetooth devices that when setup for one Apple BT device, can't see and connect to another Apple BT device. (e.g., I can't connect my LG Tone headset to my iPad Air without first forgetting it on my iPhone 6 Plus.) Apparently this isn't your issue.

Good Luck!

Haven't touched the Air, it connects to BT as usual. The Plus keeps seeking. A Google confirms an issue connecting to BT. Next diagnostic is to setup as new phone I guess. I'll google more in the morning.

Did you have the iPad Air forget it in your Bluetooth settings?
