Since upgrading to an iphone 4, my BT refused to make calls, and the BT connection would drop every now and again - it just seem rather flaky.

The phone book would transfer, and you could select a number to call, but it would not make the call, nor receive them.

So I tried deleting all the previous parings and re-pairing, removing the BT module and reconnecting it, and even taking the battery out for 20 mins - none of these made any difference to the issue.

So I moved my attention back to the phone.... from the BT control panel on the phone, toggling "phone favourites" and "phone recents" off, cured my issue. I assume these options must of come in with iOS4.

These are the options;



Now I have functioning BT again, and I hope this may be of some help

Very useful info ther Nat cheers... I was upgrading to the iPhone 4 this week! Decided I might not bother and wait...


Turks.

Great tip this. Eventually got my iphone 4 paired to the BT after following the instructions from another thread and was having the same trouble. set the BT on the phone as suggested and no problems since. Nice one.

I got mine paired no problem, I've seen a few posts over the net with people having trouble though.

Great link to the full official PDF for pairing, deleting, etc. http://www.carnationsoftware.com/carnat ... etooth.pdf

Here are a few things you can try to fix your iPhone's Bluetooth connection problems:-
1. Basic Checks:-
-Make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your iPhone's Settings.
-Ensure your Bluetooth device is fully charged or plugged in and turned on.
-Verify that your iPhone and the Bluetooth device are close together (within around 33 feet with minimal obstructions).
2. Restarting:-
-Turn Bluetooth off and on again in your iPhone's settings.
-Completely restart your iPhone.
-If possible, restart your Bluetooth device as well (consult the device's manual for specific instructions).
3. Software Updates:-
-Check if there are any iOS updates available for your iPhone [Settings > General > Software Update].
-If your Bluetooth device has firmware updates, look for instructions from the device's manufacturer on how to update it.
