I have a 2009 Taurus with Sync. My music skips but doesn't disconnect during playback. It definitely is annoying. I've wondered about this issue for awhile now however I don't feel that the issue is completely the fault of the phone because I had a Thunderbolt for 12 days before this and it did it also. Before that I had an LG Voyager that did it. (I always thought it was the phone. Use to think it was a loose memory card or something and would bang the phone around on the seat
. During this transition waiting for the 4g's to come out, I had a Blackberry 9600 with similar issues like skipping during music player playback and distorted audio while streaming Pandora. I'd delete the device from the Sync and the Sync from the phone then reinstall them and it would be ok for awhile but come back every time.
The good news with the Charge is that I've had no distorted audio on Pandora like I witnessed with the BB, but I have had the skipping or periodic lock ups. I can't put my finger on exact reasons but I don't think the skipping music thing is the phones Bluetooth. I think it?s the Ford Sync since I had issues with the other phones too. Anyone considering returning the phone should test this out using other devices if possible and let us know. I am however, concerned that the lock ups could be internal memory issues but I can't be sure of that either. My testing now consists of using the music player and Pandora plugged in via the 3.5mm input and to date, everything plays perfectly so I don't think there is a memory issue unless having the Bluetooth on causes the phone to be doing too many things at once, but I've ruled that out because I have a S705 Stereo Bluetooth headset and listen to streaming music all day with no issues. I'm pretty convinced it's the car Sync.
All in all, I really like the phone. I don't see any more issues with it, than others do with their Tbolts or any other devices out there. When you think your phone is bad, go look at all the other blogs too and you might not feel so bad about yours
Oh and I keep my wifi off in the car so that's not it. I run an app called MyProfiles Lite to control those things. Good luck to us all!
