Thanks Jus! So many things to consider! Thanks Riddley! I didn't know much about the Windows phone, but found some similar apps that I could transfer info to. Maybe with Windows (Microsoft) and SYNC (Microsoft) they would play nice together :>) Thanks for the reply LizM. I think I'm too used to the BIG screen to go back to a Blackberry, but it does have a physical keyboard, so we'll see..... Maybe I'll test drive one..... We have Verizon service because that's about all that will work out here in the boonies. I agree about not having to learn a new OS tho. Maybe it won't come to that. Glad to hear the iPhone 5 and 3.5.1 play nice together!! I looked at one at work today, and my peeps there have nothing but good to say about it. That's what my husband has HP. He loves it. We're stuck with Verizon out here.....nothing else works as well. Good to hear it's worked so well for you! That will def. be a consideration. Hmmmm, I like that it has a keyboard! I'll have to check to see if they are available with Verizon. Thanks everyone, for all the responses!

I think it's when you joined the 600 mile club............unless I'm mistaken. Jus?

Updated Post # 1 with ScubaDadMiami, HannahWCU and updated FRBill!!! Banner couple of days!!! Way to go, guys!!!

WAHOO!!!!! You're in!!!

DO IT HANNAH!!!!

Ok, so it's been 1 day in a row now with no SYNC issues with my phone not SYNCed. It was not as hot yesterday, but still within the range of temps that the problem has occurred in before. The jury is still out on the issue, but I have to look at the possibility of getting a different phone if this can't be resolved. My question is this: If you have SYNC with MFT, what kind of phone do you have? What service provider? What do you like/dislike about the phone? Have you had any SYNC vs phone related issues? I have seen 2 different FORD documents related to SYNC compatible phones.....One lists the DROID 4 and one does not. I'm going to call the hotline at lunch today to ask for clarification... I really prefer a physical keyboard (long nails and on screen keyboards don't work well.) But I realize those are few and far between. Thanks in advance for your insight.

Newest Best.Tank. Ever...........this was the first one with premium gas!! I love my C-MAX!! 558.2 by JellyBean439, on Flickr

I am a Granny (but I don't play one on TV) and damn proud of it! :wub2: (But I sure don't drive like one!) :censored:

Feeling better after a good laugh!!!!

Ever since I chose to SYNC the clock with the GPS (way before the 3.5.1 update) my clock has been spot on!!!

I've seen that several times.............most recently yesterday when the service tech disconnected the battery and reset the APIM....when the system came back up, it *performed a scheduled system maintenance* before everything came back online. My phone was not connected at the time either, so I don't really know how it connects....

I must be slippin'...........I just saw this today. Watch it with the granny-slams buddy!!! :finger:

I was so excited when they showed me this at the dealership yesterday....................until I read that it doesn't apply to SYNC with MFT.

Monday I checked the car at 3:30 and everything worked just fine. I even drove around the parking lot a couple of times, turned it off, opened the door to disconnect stuff, and restarted. I went back out at 3:55 and SYNC was dead in the water. Outside temp was 86*. I ran back in my office to arrange for phone coverage, grabbed my purse and lunch bag and drove directly to the dealership. 2 of the technician from out front and 1 guy from the back hooked it up to their computer twice, talked to 2 different groups at Ford Hotline, and worked on it for 2 hours. They said I had the latest and greatest everything and there were no codes showing. The car was on and frozen for the whole time. At one point I got a phone call....my cell phone ringtone played thru the car speakers....but I couldn't answer the phone, either with SYNC or the actual phone. They disconnected the battery and reset the APIM and, of course, everything came back up. I left with instructions not to SYNC the phone at all. Drive it like that thru Thursday. If it does it between now and then, they will order a new APIM. If it doesn't, they will go back to Ford Hotline to see what steps to take next. At one point they mentioned the possibility of putting me in another C-MAX for a few days, SYNC my phone and see what happens. Perhaps the latest Verizon/Motorola update is screwing with things.......or maybe it's an app or a screen saver on my phone. I wonder if there is a way to roll back to the previous version of whatever was operating before mid April? All worked fine from November-April. I don't know which way to hope.......failure with no phone SYNCed = their problem, new part ordered. No failure = maybe try yet another phone? A Droid 3? Some other brand? The thing is, I'm hooked on physical keyboards, and those are few and far between. And in other, more positive news......in spite of all this BS, I'm gonna have a +500 mile tank this time, I think. I love my C-MAX.

You guys are amazing!!!

Posted Yesterday, 07:35 PM Well, here is my best effort so far. Man, it is NOT easy hitting these numbers. Of course, the tank Jus is currently working on will completely BLOW this away......... I cannot wait to see his results on this tank. Matt Attached Thumbnails Yowza!!!!

Welcome Zharry!! You're right.....it is fun!!

So far I haven't heard the noise you all are talking about. And yes, it's been warm enough here in MI to need the AC. :woohoo: I have rolled down the window several times since this thread started and I have yet to hear anything but lovely silence.

I've wondered that myself. Many times I brake but don't come to a complete stop. Wondered if that counted. But my brake score is 97%, so if anything, it's not hurting me much.

YAY!!! Welcome back!!! :sing_rain: We were worried........Mom's imagine all sorts of things when one of the kids goes on walkabout!!! Lot's happening around here, so you'll have some reading. (Grab a coffee and a bagel!) We look forward to your comments on various threads and also your own news!!! :salute:

HUH? Is that something new, Laurel?

Sa-weeeeeeT!!!!

Should open with one foot-swipe but some earlier cars required 2

What fun!!!! WTG............again............Jus!!!

I was running late this morning, so I didn't do the Master Reset. The phone was SYNCed but no phone book uploaded. Phone/SYNC/Radio worked just fine. I ran some errands at lunch......2 stops, restarting the car both times......everything worked. Temps were in the low-mid 70s. I went out at 3:30 to test- start the car........all was working perfectly. I left work at 5pm............no problems at all..............stopped to p/u dinner @ KFC, and went inside instead of the drive-thru. When I came back out, SYNC was frozen. Nothing worked....no phone, radio, cd player. No paddles, dials, or buttons, even tho everything showed up on the screen.....even the phone. Temp was 77. That KFC is about 3 miles from my dealership, so I drove straight there........again. Luckily the 3 Service Advisors were there, and they all got to see it, play with it, try to get it to work. Master Reset did nothing. They were bumfuzzled. One said they should get the engineers involved, but how can we do that when it's so freakin' unpredictable? One said it needed an APIM. They seemed not to recognize the term *blue tooth chip set* but said it may be called something else. Their boss had already left for the day so we couldn't involve him in the fun. I am to call the big boss back on Monday and will probably be taking my car in and getting a loaner. I asked if they would need to keep the phone, but that's uncertain right now. In the meantime, they turned the car off while we continued our discussions about how weird this is......and 10 minutes later........it started up just fine.....all systems go. .........................sigh....................
