Beware iPhone update

bobthethird · 6th October 2013, 14:16

I not sure whether this is the correct forum, but here goes
To anyone with an iPhone, be wary of upgrading to the new ios 7 operating system. I have recently done so and have lost my bluetooth facility, apparently this has been reported as a common complaint. I have tried resetting the phone, deleting and reinstalling and re-pairing all to no avail, does anyone know an answer to this infuriating problem. I used bluetooth for handsfree calls mainly but now I am uncontactable when in the car.

If you have an apple store near to you, they are very helpful and should be able to get it sorted for you.

Robert I've moved your thread into the Technology forum, redirect left in old.

I'm sure you'll receive some helpful suggestions.

Is that io7 or the now newer IO7.02 ? a few of us at work have done it to ipnone 4 & 5 without a problem. I downloaded 7.02 on Friday and used my BT in the car this morning.

Just done IOS7 up-date on my iPhone 4 and the Bluetooth works fine, so clearly it doesn't all iPhone's!

Yes, same here, IOS 7.02 Bluetooth working fine on a 4s.

No problems here either

Working fine and pairing with my head unit and my Bluetooth headphones.

I have a Sony head unit, which worked perfectly under ios6 and an iPhone 5, this problem is with ios 7 and ios 7.0.2. I installed that hoping a bug had been cured. It also affects my son's iphone 5.

Both mine and my partners iPhones and iPads have not been affected by the software update and none of my friends have reported a problem so it can't be affecting everyone's units.
I would suggest a trip to your nearest Apple store who are usually very good at sorting these problems out.
You usually have to phone in advance to book an appointment with a customer service advisor

Let us know how your problem gets resolved.

Problem solved. I did a battery reset on the car,(easier than disconnecting the Radio) to get a radio with no memory. Set everything up from scratch and it all fell into place. The radio must have been holding an invalid pairing code. All o k
now.

As regards the upgrade it has very good features , but I find it a little difficult to read the text, with the finer font now installed, Anyone know how to change the font , or is it even possible?
