Firmware Update? iOS 8 iPhone 6

[BestRadarDetectors]

I upgraded iOS to 8.1.3 two days ago and it had no effect on the dropped connections. If anything the dropped connections are more extreme now. With 8.1.2, the connection would drop once, then reconnect quickly. Now with 8.1.3, is seems to drop and reconnect about 3 times in fast succession. The number of times this happens in a given period is random. On my daily commute it will drop anywhere from 2 to 8 times in 20 minutes. My confidence of driving with ALP's has now dropped significantly. I may even be forced to use the control panel that I have never installed or used before (always used ALP Connect).

I have not noticed the issue with Bluetooth dropping connections when using my headset to make phone calls. So I'm not sure if this is an Apple or ALP Connect problem.

Do you have an old apple phone laying around? If so try it and I would bet you will not have the issue. You can even use an old Android Phone with the same BT module as long as the phone has Android 4.4 or above and supports BT 4.0.

I do, up until last week, I was using an iPhone 5 with no connection issues at all. It's the introduction of the iPhone 6 that has caused the problems. I'm not sure if it is truly a iPhone 6 hardware or firmware issue as was implied in this thread; seeing as my Bluetooth voice calls are perfectly fine, or if its an issue with how the ALP Connect application is written when running on an iPhone 6. I would hope the ALP Connect software engineers are looking into the issue rather than assuming it's only an iPhone 6 hardware / firmware issue.

Voice uses different BT then Data.. The issue is with the iPhone 6 and BT 4.0 LE Data connections.

Ah, thanks for clarifying!
