The Uber App is disabling bluetooth audio when it is running. Nothing wrong with your equipment. It's the Uber app.

 

That's not true with my driver app. It's bluetooth connected and runs through my cars bluetooth audio.

 

Yes my calls do go through my audio in my car while on the app and I have the IPhone 6, although Uber says to shut off blue tooth to make the app work. It works fine and I am going to try my earpiece and report back.

Uber app disables Bluetooth. I was told so in an e-mail from Uber support.

 

Bluetooth works fine on Android

 

lol right
Apple 0
Android 100

 

Is there any known fix to this issue?

 

I am using my Note 3 and it works fine. Whenever I tap navigate on the driver app, it ported to the google navigation and all the driving instruction route to my bluetooth earpiece.

 

Yeah, android is perfect. The issue is with the iphone. C'mon, try to keep up.

 

My iPhone and earpiece won't work with the nav-just the pax calls. You'll have to learn to drive with multiple distractions. Good luck

 

Mine doesn't work either unless the pax calls me or I need to call the pax. Suddenly when I'm on a phone call on the headset all I can hear is the d#mn navigation in my ear! Hang up, gone again. Ugh.

 

Check your phone settings, mine works fine. Note 3

yes, note should be fine as this is a IPHONE only issue.

 

I unpaired my iPhone 6 from my car because I could not get audio navigation via bluetooth. Now I sometimes get the nav audio straight from the phone, sometimes (most times) NOT. Today I asked a rider in the front seat to read the navigation instructions because I thought it was less safe for me to do so while driving. I got her to her destination quickly with very few turns (not much reading on her part) but she gave me a rating that reduced me from 5.0 to 4.67. Why can't Uber give us an app that works perfectly with the iPhone? It's not fair to be downgraded because of Uber's unwillingness to fix its technology!

 

Why I had to get progressive's to read the nav, however, before that I just looked at it over or under my glasses.

 

The Uber app breaks Bluetooth on my iPhone 6s. I've emailed Uber about it in relation to the fact that incoming calls from pax don't come through over Bluetooth unless I manually change the source on the phone, but their response was predictably less than helpful. It's only when the Uber app is on. Otherwise everything works flawlessly. I think it's a safety concern to have to distract myself in order to answer a call without running afoul of the law.

 

The funny part is that it worked flawlessly on my Nexus 6, and every single developer says that it's easier to make apps for iOS because there's a dramatically smaller level of fragmentation. Thus, Uber is making things dangerous for us on purpose. Not to mention annoying when your streaming music pauses every single time you do anything at all in the Uber app. I've taken to principally driving Lyft, since they seem to have hired coders who know a script from a pile of dog poop.
