    Glad to hear. It's pretty idiotic that we have to do this workaround. The Entune system is an interesting concept, but the execution so far really sucks in terms of reliability.

    Unfortunately, reading your post in this particular subject is the same as looking at a broken clock... its right twice a day.
    You claim truth, but you haven't substantiated a single thing you've said. AT ALL.

    So here is the thing, while I *agree* that Android is considerably BETTER than apple, I am actually EMBARRASSED by the stupid that comes out of you.
    You've come up with a "but spekz" argument, that is really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, because it really does NOT come down to who makes the better HARDWARE, it comes down to who makes the better SOFTWARE. You can get phones with better or worse hardware -- good specs + cheap build, good specs + good build, bad specs + cheap build, bad specs + good build, with virtually infinite variation between them, YET WITH ALL of that, lots of people buy things BESIDES "good specs + good build". Wonder why? Because they're cheap? Well you can buy an older apple phone for the same price as a new but lower end Android phone, yet they go for the Android phone. So no, it isn't because they're cheap (even if they are), its because there is something in it that they CANNOT get with Apple. Its not the hardware, so it MUST be the SOFTWARE.

    So your ONLY argument is right out the window. You have no rational point of view at all, and are SCREAMING at random strangers with an UNSUPPORTED OPINION.

    WHY?
    Why are you yelling at people? What benefit is it TO YOU if you did manage to convince someone to drop apple by screaming at them incoherently?

    While there ARE rational reasons why one is better than the other, you have none of them.

    So what are YOUR reasons for doing this?
    I can think of a few possibilities;
    1) You actually are trying to sell APPLE phones, because your incoherent mindless screaming will do PRECISELY THAT.
    2) Steve Jobs didn't respond to your 10 thousand letters begging him for buttsecks and now you're hurt (since he's DEAD and therefore CAN'T), so you're trying to hurt them back.

    WHICH IS IT?

    droid turbo 2. no problems with bluetooth connecting in general or with phone calls, but there are a couple infuriating quirks:

    1. every incoming text is from "Unknown". this started when I updated from Lollipop to Marshmallow, and nothing has fixed it.
    2. audio play button on entune does not make audio on phone play unless it was first paused via entune. the first play action has to be done on the phone.
    3. when switching podcasts, the new one will get screwed up and stutter between long pauses and superspeed playback. bluetooth disconnect/reconnect fixes the issue. but this could be a pocketcasts issue, as I have not bothered to try a different app. it does not happen with google play music, my other go-to audio app.

    every time there is an entune update I get excited it will fix these issues, but inevitably it is just updates for the built-in apps I never use anyway.

    Ended up upgrading to the iPhone 7 no more issues like I did with the iPhone 6 Plus. I used to have to disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth in order to fix a tether error no problems for the past week. conspiracy theory: I bet the phone is designed to start now functioning in a year so people upgrade. And on a sidenote, I forget which company it was but a printer company did that with printer cartridges.

    not sure if anyone else was having these problems, but latest phone update fixed all of them. I guess entune was never the issue.

    iPhone 7 plus. My only complaint: ATT high def calling. It works on my phone, but if I'm on a call through the truck, the quality isn't any good.
