Bluetooth accessory automatically unpairs after 3 mins.

[adityapruthi01]

Hey!
I just started using my Inbody band.
It was my mom's band as she had taken a health diet program and she got it in the package. So she completed the course and now it's been idle in the house so I thought of wearing it.
So when I pair it with my iphone ad sync it with the InBody app everything just works just fine,like I recieve the incoming call alert and message alert on my band but this just lasts for barely 3-5 mins. After that it disconnects automatically and I have to connect it and sync it again.
Pls help!
Thank you.

I had a similar problem when I used my iPhone as a hotspot for my iPad . It appeared that if I closed the iPad, after a few minutes the iPhone decided that the hotspot was no longer in use and so turned it off, to save power.

So it may be a form of power saving. Can you set the band to poll the iPhone for some reason or other every few minutes?

I didn't understand the last line about setting the band to poll?

I think I frequently turn on the power saver mode so maybe its happening because of that.......
I'll try it once
Hope it helps....
Thanks

Sorry about that . By ‘poll’ I meant that you get the band to talk to the iPhone every few minutes. The iPhone may then keep the connection live.

>> Turn on the power save mode...

That may well be the cause of the problem.

I hope that this helps you.

Turn on?
I think you meant turn off..

Is it?

By using the ‘>>’ I was quoting a part of what you wrote, in order to indicate what I was referring to without having to copy in the whole paragragh.

You are quite correct in that you need to disable the power save mode.

No problem.

I hope it works

 

[adityapruthi01]

No it didn't workkk!!

 

[adityapruthi01]

Same problem persists.

 

[NSquirrel]

Sorry. Hopefully someone else here will have the solution or a better suggestion.

One thing you could try, is to keep the iPhone on charge for 15 minutes and see if the bluetooth link is broken. I seem to recall that keeping my iPhone on charge maintained the link, even though that was with wifi. Obviously you would not want this as a long term solution, but it might help decide and understand whether it is the iPhone or the band causing the link to drop out.
