Worked great...now trouble with iphone ios 4 operating system Was loving this. I would turn it on and it would automatically pair with my iphone. all other functions were great. I upgraded my 3GS to the new ios 4 operating system yesterday and it won't automatically pair. It looks for the phone. I have to go to the bluetooth menu in the iphone and select the solchat..and then it pairs. This is way too cumbersome. Is anyone else having this problem?

I called the company. If you do a hard reset of the solchat, everything works like it should.

I have a iPhone 4s that is currently awaiting an ios 7.1 update. I just haven't done it yet. Sorry, I don't remember which system it had when I got it. But if you are concerned about being up-to-date, apple is pretty good about the updates on the software. Hope it helps.

I'm pretty sure it was easy to pair. I think I just held down the main power button until the light flashed successively, then went to Bluetooth settings on the iPhone and selected the device corresponding to the headphones. The phone should then indicate that it is paired. After that point, it is helpful to have the headphones on your head as you turn them on or off. To turn them on or off, you simply hold the power button until the tone is heard, then release. Once the phone has been paired with the headset, you should only have to power up the headset and the phone will automatically remember the pairing. I'm pretty sure it was easy to pair.

I had the same problem, it worked once then stopped. Paired great with both my husband's iPhone and mine but not the iPad. After many frustrating tries my husband turned off Bluetooth on all of our devices, even removing a few from the list, turned the speakers and Bluetooth off and on (many times) and finally he was successful. Such a frustrating experience. I would love to know what causes this.

It works on my iPhone 3GS iOS4 but when it times out after not using it for a few minutes it is very difficult to reconnect. Am I missing a trick to reconnecting?

First time you have to turn icon on , then open Bluetooth in iPhone search for icon then pairing. This is only for the first time . If you lose the connection make sure your iPhone Bluetooth turned on then press the button in the icon. I had lose the connection many times spirally during call so that embarrassing me a lot. I hope I helped you and forgive me about language. All the best

Christine: It took me months to figure this out and I am sorry to tell you that I gave up. I downloaded the remote on my iPad and it works perfectly OK. I had email "conversations" for months with a support person who was very patient and tried to figure this out. Then my brother in-law came to visit and he told me that I had to make sure EVERY TIME that the Bluetooth in Settings on iphone shows connected (same on iPad). It still did not work on the phone but worked fine on iPad. Now, after a few months, I can say Aleluya, it works just by going to the app and touching the power button to turn the device on. Good luck. Hope this helped. Eva

Updated for those of you having this pairing problem with the big speaker.It will pair with your phone if you just plug it in, or at least think it is paired. It will play your calls through it, but not music.You need to do as the first commentor said and hold that button down between the volume buttons until it beeps and goes into pairing mode. Then you should be able to find it again and it will play music.If you previously paired without holding the button down, you should forget the device on your iPhone. Turn the speaker off and on and then use the button. The iPhone should be able to see it again after that. I almost sent mine back until I looked up the page for the large size.

The iOS 4 issue seems to be fixed by resetting the phone. See the docs for how to do this (or google).

Not sure why it didn't work, on Bluetooth setting and in discoverable mode for my phone. Then with the speaker on I pressed the Bluetooth button and it paired easily. I have my iPhone and iPad connected with it. I have others connected to it at work, iPhone and android based phones. Try holding the Bluetooth button down a few seconds while your device is in discoverable mode. Other than that I don't have any other suggestions. Maybe another buyer could help?

I have the iphone 5 and once you pair the phone for the first time, it pairs each and every time you get in the vehicle! I see no reason why the iphone 4 should be any different.

I have IOS 6.0 on my 4S and still had a problem with badly garbled audio. I think that I have finally solved the mystery - at least mine. I use an older Linksys router for my local net. It transmits at 2.4GHZ and Bluetooth is close to that. Since the Bluetooth signal is nowhere near as powerful as the router, I was apparently experiencing interference. My signal is great if I turn off the WiFi connection on the phone OR if I make sure that the iPhone is always within two feet of the Panasonic base.Incidently, I was able to pair the iPhone 4S and my wifes older Samsung with no problem I have IOS 6.0 on my 4S and still had a problem with badly garbled audio.

Lori, I had this issue as well. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but hopefully it will help you out. You have to disconnect the bluetooth from your iPad if you want it to connect to your iPhone again (and vice versa). It can only connect to one device at a time, and for some reason, it won't automatically disconnect the previous device you used it with. So in your case, you probably need to go into your iPad settings, and either disconnect the device in your Bluetooth settings, or just turn bluetooth off. Once that happens you should be able to pair your phone with it again. Hope this helps. :)

I've had no problems with my Iphone 4. great hands free calling. After I paired phone with unit I have not had to do it again. I suggest power down phone and restart it, same with JVC unit. Try to pair with unit again. if you continue to have problems I would check to see if bt dongle is faulty. here is link to jvc store shows picture.http://store.jvc.com/product.asp?Model=ks-ubt1

I have only used this item with Android phones and it works great and has a super clear sound. Not sure it work as well with the IPhone. I use to have a work phone (Iphone) that I had paired up to it for work fine but I did take me awhile to get it paired up. I had and Iphone 4 at the time. Not sure if the newer phone are just not compatible with the device.

I've had mine 2 yrs now and after about 1.5 years the Bluetooth was not connecting automatically. My device would just keep searching and searching. So, I have to manually connect to the speaker from my ipad or iphone. Not a big deal but it's a pain. I've had other speakers that don't have this problem.
