John Bee Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Hey, I have The Fives (hardware reversion 2) and yesterday I updated my iPhone to iOS 16.3. Ever since The Fives have been constantly switching to Bluetooth input every few minutes when listening to audio through any other input. I pressed "forget bluetooth device" on my iphone, disabled bluetooth on my iphone but the issue still remains. If I factory reset my Fives and NOT pair them to my iphone then the issue is not there any more. If I pair the fives to my iphone again, the issue reappears (even if I unpair them and disable bluetooth on my iphone). Hence it seems that iOS 16.3 broke something in bluetooth. Is anyone else experiencing the same? Edited January 24, 2023 by John Bee Clarified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontknow Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I have the Three and it's worked flawlessly for several years. I would return yours if software kept being an issue and be done with it. I absolutely hate software with a passion when it acts up. Same crap happens in telescopes.

jmac780 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Yes! Mine do this constantly and it's been a major annoyance since I got them. I really regret the purchase because of it. I have confirmed that there are no devices paired with the Fives that might be causing the input switch to bluetooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joydeep Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have a similar problem with my Fives. It doesn't continuously keep switching to bluetooth, but whenever I have it on the list of bluetooth devices on my phone or any other device, whichever input source I switch it jumps to bluetooth once after a few seconds. I need to manually dial it back to the previous input (Phono in my case as I listen to a lot of records). A bit annoying. Is there a new software update planned anytime soon to rectify this?

Idontknow Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 My motto is don't fix what ain't broke. I never update anything if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
