The name I chose was 4 Droid home which is really not true anymore, it's now more like three Droid and one Samsung Facinate. Here is what happned.
About five months ago I put the most wicked stereo system in my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee. The stereo has hands free talking bluetooth, navigation, I pod connection, Sirus Radio and even a back-up camera.
My wife who owns a company with her parents is in a situation where she has to drive 300 miles out of town and back once a week and the hands free device is always the safest way to go in my opinion.
Her old phone a Samsung Flipshot paired nicely to the Kenwood but was not a smart phone and I wanted her to have Facebook to talk with me and our freinds so I waited eagerly knowing sooner or later she would drop that phone and bye bye birdie.
My dreams where answered and off to Verizon to get her a DROID X like everyone else in the home has, however she liked the Samsung Facinate better, but we all have Droid Xs, we got the Droid X and we took it home and that phone would not pair up to the Kenwood. In fact none of the Droid Xs in the house would pair up. Changed every setting, did everything imaginable but it would not work. I would think a Droid X would pair to anything but no it would not.
I got on the Kenwood site to see what phones are compatible with the most advanced stereo I just bought five months ago and the phones listed where like three years old. Nothing new, I mean it said it would pair up to the first IPhone and nothing after. COME ON KENWOOD!!!
Back to Verizon to get a new phone, something has to work and the manager (never had such good treatment at verizon before, usually poor treatment, BUT WOW not this time, he was going to make it happen) he took all him employee's phones out to the parking lot and we tried pairing up phone, after phone, after phone and the last one, a Samsung Facinate, Paired right up. See what happenes when you dont listen to your wife?????
She has had it a few days now, been talking on it hands free, loves it. Oh by the way, the Navigation system with the Kenwood which is done by Garmin has no updates AT ALL and seems to have been left behind. I plan to get on the phone with Kenwood this week and complain about a navigation system with very old maps and no updates on the maps even for purchase, nothing. Kenwood, I am very disipointed in you and Motorola, I have looked into the bluetooth thing with your Droid X which I love, I am not impressed by what many in the forums say about the Bluetooth on your phone, being substandard.
I would think it would be the android operating system to have caused the problem, but both the Droid X and Samsung facinate have the android operating system, must be the phone.
