iPhone 6 won't sync???

Post by Johnny-p » Thu Nov 06, 2014 8:10 pm

Hi all..

As per title I can't get my iphone6 to sync??

My iPhone 5 worked faultlessly..

Am I missing something or has anyone else had problems, it's the same iOS etc..

I've checked all the fuses just incase and they're fine????

TIA

I had the same originally. Could not do it when the engine was running …

Secondly, did you remove the other pairings?

Which OS release is it?

535 Boy is on the money. I had the same problem it occurred after the phone carried out a normal software update to Android V 4.4.2 if you look at the Android forums there are many many unhappy souls with a wide range of phones that have Bluetooth issues after this update. It seems it reduces the bluetooth power to such a low level that it doesn't work. It seems you cant revert but need to nag your supplier/phone manufacturer or Google for the next update.

The BT on the iPhone 6 kills the battery, I have switched it off and now it is back to 3 days battery life from 12 hours  :o

Just a pain to remember to switch it back on each time.
