- '11 XLT Explorer
Hello everyone.
I have a 2011 Explorer XLT. I currently have MFT 3.5.1 installed, though this problem has been plaguing me before the current update. It probably goes back 2 updates ago and hasn't stopped.
I have had 3 different Android Phones, the Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, and the HTC EVO LTE, all Sprint phones. All phones have been in perfect working condition.
All 3 phones have had problems streaming music over bluetooth in my Explorer only. My BT headphones work perfect, as well as streaming over bluetooth on a computer.
They connect fine, I'm able to sync the phonebook and even messaging, though I choose not to use that feature.
The music streaming, however, has always been screwy. The music skips every 5-10 seconds and continues to do so for 10-15 minutes.
But here's where it gets weird. After 10-15 minutes, it eventually sorts itself out and starts playing fine. No rhyme or reason to it, it just happens.
Unfortunately, this isn't ALWAYS the case. Sometimes it skips the entire duration of my trip. Now you could say "This isn't such a big deal, because after a while it works." But when most trips in the vehicle are 10-15 minutes long, it fixes itself just about the time I'm arriving at my destination. So what's the point?
I'd like to know if there is something I can do, or if I definitive fix is in the works for bluetooth issues, cause browsing this board and experiencing it myself, the issues are certainly there.
Thanks!
