Bluetooth Disconnect When Using Enform
I just got a 2015 GS350 F-Sport. I've noticed whenever I try to connect my phone via bluetooth to my car and I have the Enform Suite app running, it will constantly connect and disconnect my phone. If I force stop the app, and connect via bluetooth, it connects without a problem. Anyone else facing this issue?
Btw, I'm using a Oneplus One cell phone. Didn't have a problem in my previous car ('10 BMW 328i)

Root your phone and upgrade it to the latest firmware. I imagine the build they're running is having problems with the Enform app. The app is pretty flaky on android to begin with.

I am rooted and on android 4.4.4 with the latest build. I have no other issues with bluetooth connecting to other cars, computers, headsets, etc. Definitely could be the app

I have the same problem. The dealer told me to turn off wifi. Hasn't helped me, but it could help you? I have a moto X (2013) so it's not the latest and greatest phone but it's supposed to be compatible with everything as per Lexus's website.

I experience the same issue on a 2013 GS - running Android 4.0.3 on an older HTC Sensation 4G.
The phone has been rock solid for me, but always acts up when running Lexus Enform & Bluetooth together. I often have to rebook my entire phone to get bluetooth working again.
Bluetooth will work on it's own for me (i.e. - I have a bluetooth headset that it works fine with), something to do with Enform makes it go berzerk.
Let me know if you have a solution/fix please!

My problem is that when I start the car, the bluetooth phone part connects, but when I try to play Pandora or Bluetooth audio it won't play. I have to connect/disconnect bluetooh in the navscreen to get it to work. Used to work perfectly, but has been acting up the past ~1-2 months. Same problem for my current phone Xperia Z3c as well as my old one Nexus 5 (both 4.4)
EDIT: Seems to have started when they had the Enform app upgrade

The reason you hear so many people having problems with enform and android is because people who do not have issuse dont spend the time to post here. People who do have problems will bebposting most often here.
I have a 2014 GS 350 Luxury with Mark Levinson. And my car connects flawlessly with enform on my car . I listen to pandora alot and sometimes iheart radio. Blutooth music works perfectly and it automatically starts playing where i left off when i restart my car. Text messaging alsi works flawlessly. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Hm. If you're rooted, you may want to try a different build. Maybe the OS is way ahead of the app and causing issues. Also, check to see if there is older or newer firmware for your phone's "radio". This is usually a different package separate from the ROM. May stabilize it, may make it worse but worth a shot.

Yeah, worth a shot. I don't know what version of Android they targeted but I'm afraid the 2013's head unit is falling way, way behind. I remember when I bought my car last year, I checked for the HTC One M7 and it wasn't listed as approved but had already been out for 6-8 months. Now I have a rooted/CFW HTC One M8 and I keep it on the latest whatever, but it seems the more I upgrade, the more gripey the Bluetooth stuff gets in the car. Tempted to go back to stock but don't drive enough to warrant the inconvenience.
>Edit, just derped and remembered that you have a 2015. You may want to check Lexus' website and see which phones are officially supported. But regardless, I think the android app is kinda bad and it's like 3/5 stars in the Google Play store.

on another note, the enform app UI is pretty bad. the general design needs work

Yep, bad app is bad. It's just meant to funnel data really, not to play around with and distract drivers. I think that's half the reason they didn't make it pretty; it's a utility.
