Default New update to Enform app - Android

Just saw and updated my Samsung S3 to the new Enform update. Have not had a chance to see if it is any improvement. Any one try it yet? Improvements noticed?

I got my car 3/12 and this app has been terrible. Hope this update I proves it!

The iPhone app has been updated as well but I haven't had a chance to use it as yet either.

I have no issues with my enform app since getting the car in March of 2012. There is nothing wrong with it. It depends on what phone you have and how you keep your phone settings and the software updates. It isn't rocket science.

Maybe it fixed the Pandora bug of always cutting off. I sadly can't download since I'm in Canada, but pretty not much changed, they still haven't fixed it to fill the whole iPhone 5 screen from a pic I saw could be wrong.

enform only worked on blue tooth for me, but it always cut off when I connect up to the USB. I hope they fixed this!

Guess you are a genius then. I have had 3 phones, 2 HTC and one Samsung with varying degrees of success. Sometimes it connects right away when I get into the car, sometimes not. Sometimes iHeart radio skips within a song, sometimes it does not. Sometimes my favorites are stored, sometimes the library is empty. Others have had problems to.

Guess you are just smarter then us!

Hi Joe,


I did not want to come out to say that I am smarter because I am not but from my experienced it was solid even though I do have knowledge about technology, programming, and connectivity.
I have a motorola droid razr maxx phone and when I first got it, it had gingerbread (original android software) then I updated it to the ice cream sandwhich and then the jelly bean. The ice cream sandwhich system did not connect well with the enform system. The jelly bean does it 100% even with Pandora with no lag or pausing or drop sounds. Do you have the Samsung Galaxy S3? Also, make sure that your car since it was purchased when it first came out that it was updated with the latest enform system. Mines was done before I picked it up so the system was stable from the beginning. There was an issue about stability of the Lexus built in system and not the phones.

My startup screen is slow to load/lags when turning on the car after i updated the app (iOS). Not sure if it's because of it or a different issue. Screen stays black for awhile before going to default screen or backup camera...

Yea, my screen is very slow. I am already backed out before the screen comes on. Did not used to be this way. Showed it to dealer and he said there is something wrong...wants me to bring it back and leave it for a few days. They want to review the problem with corporate. There was a separate thread on this issue. Don't think it has anything to do with the Enform update.
