iPhone Can't Connect Via Bluetooth

[baggss]

Ok, that's a big disappointment. Hubby has a picture of his now deceased dad on the iphone he wanted to transfer. For such a "smartphone" it's not a big thing to ask apple for full bluetooth when crappy cheap phones have it.

Yeah, because e-mailing it off the phone would just be so dang hard to do....

Maybe you should get him a "crappy, cheap" phone instead.

New to I phone

I also just got an iphone and have the same problem. I understand what you all are saying however it is not addressing the problem. Sure if i want to get or send a pic to a computer that is simple enough, or to email one is simple. However what if you are wanting to trade pictures or files with someone that is not using a smartphone or an iphone bluetooth is the general method of trading those items.

And that, folks, is why the iPhone doesn't do it.

re:

Well, apple saved a few bucks when it came to installing bluetooth hardware.
U can't connect ur iPhone to anything but the apple Headsets and such that are compatible.....
Which means no sending pics to friends phones.....
Unless someone knows a fine hack of some kind.

No it's not, MMS is. Even most non-smartphones can get an MMS message. Why not just send it that way?

That is actually probably the reason and a good point.

Yep, agree. Why not attach the photo and email it?

Sometimes people change phones and want to send over some of their stuff. Photos can be emailed, but what about ringtones?

Address book sync without being able to pair on bluetooth?

I can understand the whole no transferring of files, but what about the syncing your address book with your iphone? which i do believe is a listed 'feature' on apples website?

Bluetooth can NOT connect to handsfree

The iPhone can only connect to Bluetooth hands free devices. It won't do what you want it to do because it's not supposed to.

I find this hard to belive. I bought my first I-phone 4 four days ago. I have tried to connect it to my cars handsfree system. Its a Skoda Superb 2009 model and have bluetooth connectivity. The phone finds it, but says it is not compatible!! My old phone, a Samsung Omnia HD connected right away, loaded up my contact list and I could also read new and old SMS onscreen on the display of the car.
I also bought a Bluetooth Buddy handsfree ( a brand new best buy product) for my other car. My old Nokia connected right away, but my I-phone can`t find it!!
So it is certenly NOT true about all handsfree.

I was not sure whether I did the right thing buying an I-phone 4 and after four days I have lost five calls while I where talking. It just looses the signal. The only way to get the signal back is to restart the phone. What an advanced product Steve Jobs have given the world....

Take it back. Tell them it does not do what you need it to do. Go with something else.
