Blackberry Z30 works fine for all phone options and streaming music too! Unfortunately no Enform option in Canada. Honestly why mess with crap like Apple when you can have all the security and features of a Blackberry and now Blackberry runs Android apps straight from app stores like Amazon. You folks are all brainwashed with Apple and Android.

I've wipes the pairing etc and it does the same thing over and over. Any Idea as to what it could be.

Thanks,

So I decided to not be lazy and did a hard reset. Finally it works flawlessly.

I have a Galaxy Note 3 and much to my surprise it has everything that jscgs350 has however, I'm experiencing the text messages not coming through the message window for the 2nd time. Two weeks ago this feature stopped working and At&t had to resent phone back to original and I lost everything but contacts. Now it's done it again. Am taking it back to the Support Device Center again tomorrow. They will have to reset it again. Im going to try and convince them to give me a new phone since this one is 1 month old.

How does one do a hard reset? I've taken my battery out several times in an attempt to get my text messages to come through the nav screen.

Here's what I noticed with Android. On 4.3 the MAP feature tries to download all text messages on your phone and it takes a long time. That's why you don't see the notification. Clean your message history and keep it under 100 and everything will go back to normal.

Even with IPhone 5s emails are read on navigation system or if driving the v oice tells you what the email is. Text and emails are operational but you cannot respond to either unless you use SIRI through your bluetooth connection in the car.

Do u mean keep the history in the car under 100 or on the phone? Cause keeping it under 100 isnt a option cause I have to save alot of messages for work. And this sux cause it worked until I updated.

your making it sound like using android is a chore or something, it isnt 2011 anymore

android imo is a better OS then ios.

It's just personal preference after owning android tablets. I didn't say iOS was superior, it's just simpler, and some actually like that. I loved my galaxy note 10.1 for the record

One more tip with Android. My HTC One (m7) won't notify when Gmail receives messages, but the built-in Mail app does. I have both configured as a result.
