Iphone 4 users experience Bluetooth woes
MAKER OF ITHINGS Apple has another Iphone 4 fault to add the long list, as users have started to complain of Bluetooth woes.
Users are flooding the smug cappuccino firm's forums with complaints that their existing Bluetooth headsets are giving terrible sound quality and in many cases experiencing loss of connectivity between the headset and the brand new Iphone 4. Not surprisingly, they are reporting that the headsets worked perfectly on previous generation Iphones.
One user posted that their headset "worked fine on 3GS now dropping connection every 5 mins and people say I sound like I'm talking through seran (sic) wrap!" Another said Apple's technical support directed them to do a software restore, something that the user had already done. Afterwards, the user was told that a replacement Iphone had to be issued.
The diminishing Bluetooth connectivity could well be another case of the Iphone 4 having a duff antenna. However given that Bluetooth headsets should mean that users are not holding their Iphones while making a call, it could lay waste to Apple CEO Steve Jobs' claim that the phone is simply being mishandled by its users.
Iphone 4 users have been hit by an array of failings in Jobs' latest toy. One might even wonder if the device one of its employees misplaced in a San Francisco Bay area bar was the only unit Apple had for testing.
Apple will more than likely claim that this, like everything else it produces, can be fixed by some software update, or perhaps by purchasing another accessory. The firm has come under pressure to conduct a product recall, however given its attitude towards those who gladly pay handsomely for its wares, a slap in the face is more likely. µ

I just upgraded to an IPhone from my blackberry....or so I thought. everything is wonderful except for my bluetooth. It sync's up nicely on my car for phone calls, but the IPhone does not recognize the vehicles bluetooth for playing music, for that I have to connect to the wire interface. but the most frustrating thing is that once I synced to my vehicle there is a constant drain on my battery and now the battery doesn't even get me through work. the solution i was given at the apple store was to go into the settings when I enter and exit the vehicle to manually control the bluetooth pairing or it will constantly search for the vehicle bluetooth and drain the battery.
in and out of the vehicle, making and taking phone calls responding to emails and text messages my blackberry battery never failed me.
I am sick to death with the Inquirer dissing Apple. Just to show how wrong you are, I am replying to this using my own Iphone 4, and I can tell you that I am experiencing no
I've upgrade my iPod Touch to iOS4 and noticed that it won't auto sync to my stereo Bluetooth headset, every time I turned the headsets on I have to go to the Bluetooth settings and force a connection.
Didn't y'all read the fine print. Along with buying the newest handset every six months, you also have to buy new accessories to go with it. Apple does this on purpose. It's the only way they can keep their silly little company in the black.
hi i have downloaded the new software for my ipod and the sound cuts out for no reason, i do think it's a software problem thats affecting iphones and ipod touches.
Instead of biting the bullet for fixing the huge list of Iphone 4 flaws, why doesn't Jobs just quickly fire up their bling-machines and make a different-looking "superer, more magicaller, even more fantasticer" Iphone 5 that actually works as a phone (similar to what Microsoft did with Vista/Win 7)?
This way Jobs could offer a trade-in deal to the millions of people stuck with the previous model, and still charge them $200 a crack to "upgrade" to the latest super-duper Jobs-approved must-have Iphone gadget. Maybe he could put a killer feature like "pinch to zoom" on the signal level indicator, so users could "increase" their own 3G reception?
WHY the hell are they even being allowed to release products like this, the government should really step in and revoke their business license, until they can make a working product.
and even a bigger question is why do the iTard fanbois keep supporting these crappy products
