I have a BRAND New x850BT. Everything works great, except Pandora, which is half the reason that I bought it. Using Bluetooth audio my andriod phone (GS4 Verizon) is able to play songs to the 850 just fine, and I get song / artist info. What I do not get is Pandora as a source, so I am missing the ability to thumbs up / down or change stations. I know this sounds silly, but again, it was one of the main drivers for buying it.
I have the 1.06 firmware on the x850 (the 1.04 had the same issue). I have also tried 2 iPhones both with IOS7. They are are the same. Play Pandora just fine, but no station info. I have manually added the Pandora app icon to my screen and see that its always greyed out. I have confirmed that my bluetooth settings are set for app mode and im showing SPP, which should be all I need to make it work.
Please let me know if anyone has any tips. One thought would be for me to get the I Phone cable and see if that helps, but honestly, I would rarely need the full appmode. Plus MY phone is an android. I dont want to be stuck with only being able to use my wifes phone for full connectivity.
Let me know your thoughts.. Going crazy here trying random things. Thanks in advance
