Significant Bluetooth issues in 14.2 Released update

[jfr60]

There is another thread about this w/r/t to the 14.2 public beta but I am seeing same issues today in released version of 14.2.

Bluetooth hangs on enumerating devices. I am seeing this on two separate iPhone devices that were updated to 14.2.

The DEVICES wheel just spins endlessly. Have tried hard restart and resetting network settings to no avail. Currently restoring one from a pre-update backup from a few days ago and hoping to get some basic functionality back.

Called AppleCare and then when the rep started reading the script about "Apple-approved BT devices" I hung up.

Ok, so I sorted this out. It appears that during the update all of my paired devices were lost and nothing was in range or turned on when I was enabling Bluetooth. Just need to put Humpty back together again...

If upgrading from 14.1 to 14.2 resulted in all your paired devices to disappear, you should consider wiping and starting fresh, because that’s definitely not what should happen and so something funky is going on with your device.
