Oticon MORE firmware 1.4.0 - BT issues with iOS 16

I have the same problem. iPhone 13 with OS 16.2 and firmware 1.4.0
When I walk away from the phone, left and right HA connectivity with the phone drop. Have to reconnect the left and right HA again to the phone.
Firmware1.3.0 connectivity is more stable the iPhone 13 OS 16.2

Maybe firmware 1.4.2 will be ready by the end of Jan 2023.

VERY frustrating!

I was told today that firmware 1.4.2 is available and I have an appointment to get them upgraded next week. To bad this cannot be done over the internet…that would be much more convenient… especially since I just picked them up on the 9th!

May I ask who told you the update was available, I have heard rumors but nothing that confirms it.

Just saw this on theOticon Facebook users page

I go to Hearing Life in Butler PA
They stated they were being sent the update tomorrow (1/18).
I cannot get an appointment until next week to do the update so I guess I will know for sure if it is in fact the new FW version and if it works.

I have to wait more than likely for the VA to approve it before it will be available for me. And yes as a retired IT professional I understand the requirements

I have iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16.2, and firmware 1.4.1. The Oticon firmware update significantly improved performance to the point that I lose connectivity only sporadically, usually when my iPad is in vicinity. Annoying, but tolerable. Can go days and sometimes weeks before reconnecting. Definitely worth a shot.

1.4.1 was pulled became it was corrupting so many hearing aids and causing a large number of aids being returned for repair.

My new More-1 came w 1.4.1, so far no problems

The ones that have been able to get their aids safely updated to 1.4.1 have been very happy with the results, the problem with that update was the percentage of bricked aids, it seems from some of my research is that the updates done in the Oticon labs worked but a high percentage of the in the field updates caused bricked and unusable aids, and had to be replaced or repaired by the Oticon labs.

And next week Apple is releasing iOS 16.3! (or so I have read this morning)

From what I have read it is a very minor upgrade and I see nothing that interests me except the security fixes.

More firmware 1.4.2 has been released today. From what I have read it seems to working.

How wonderful the world would be if Oticon More latest firmware could updated via their Apps - Oticon On!

I don’t even waste my time on the ON app it is useless and not needed on the iPhone

For my time of hearing loss, I do not use the Apps regualrly.
In the near future, moving towards Phonak Naida P90 UP.

Guys the VA does have the 1.4.2 firmware for the More aids. I am waiting for my appointment to get mine updated.

I have never been a fan of the ON App and off loaded it (vs delete - off loading retains data) when I wore OPNs. I found the MFi in iPhone worked fine for my needs.
When I upgraded to More1, and two TV Adapters, I needed to use the ON app in order to switch between TV adapters, turn on the Sound Booster feature, and adjust the equalizer when streaming, if needed. Useless – No - not for me. I do think it could be improved, but I think the ON App functions as it is intended to for the most part.

If you need it that is fine. My aids are adjusted so I don’t need it. I don’t need the MoreSoundBoast or the equalizer. I only use one TV Adapter now and only have my default program.

I got my appointment for my firmware update this next Wednesday.
