Kia Sorento with Droid 2

Just bought a 2011 Kia Sorento..... without navigation.
My Droid seems to pair just fine with the car, but my wife's Droid 2 only wants to do it intermittently and it doesn't work well when it does.....  can't hear person on the other end and music doesn't stream.
Any suggestions?

I recommend contacting your car manufacturer for information regarding how to pair your Kia with your wife's device and what issues you may be experiencing. Listed below is a link to view our devices and which cars are compatible with the Bluetooth capability.

  • I have a 2011 Kia Sorento with hands free bluetooth.  I can select where the music can be played, to the Sorento, but the music does not come through the bluetooth speakers in the Sorento.  Am I missing an app for that?  What am I doing wrong?

    I have trying to connect my iTunes music through my bluetooth in my Kia Sorento.  I have paired the phone with the bluetooth, but now the phone will not even connect, let along having the music play through.  Do I need a special app for that?  Was something dropped or lost from my iPhone to where no connection, phone or music, will play through the bluetooth to the speakers in the car? 

    It should work just fine. Try deleting the pairing in the car and on the phone, then re-pair them. It works fine in my 2011 Optima (with the non-nav system) after upgrading to iOS 5.
    Make sure there is no other bluetooth connection active when you start the car to connect to it (like a headset).

  • HELP !!! hands free paring bb bluetooth with car stereo 2011 kia sorento

    I was able to pair my bb 8530 curve with my kia sorento 2011 car stereo via Bluetooth,  but  once  I leave the car, and come back the connections  always  fail.
    I do have my Bluetooth "discoverable"
    on my option settings I have only check mark "hands free", "audio source" & "A/v source"

    this are the instructioin I used to  fixed it. In Bluetooth Options unchecked all items on the Services list except Handsfree. The then deleted the Kia from the BB and the BB from the Kia. I then paired again, in options on the BB I changed Discoverable to "No" and then on BB in Sorento Device Properties change Encryption to "Disabled". This has worked almost 2 weeks now with no new issues.

    Hi there JByrd,
    Let's take a closer look into this. What plan are you currently on? If you are on the More Everything plan, then you shouldn't have to do anything additional. If you are on the Nationwide plan it is an additional $20 a month for 2 GB of data. Let us know what plan you have. Thanks!

    Hey Erin how about you confirm to Elector and others that you HAVE to pay for tethering on Nationwide plans and that if you are using a 3rd tethering app to bypass paying you are violating the terms of service. They don't seem to believe me.

  • Thoroughly disappointed with Droid Razr

    I paid a premium price less than a year ago for a LEMON of a phone -- the Droid Razr by Motorola.  I have now replaced by new phone with three (3) refurbished phones because of the faculty Google operating system and poor manufacturing by Motorola, which is now owned by Google.  Sorry I abandoned my old Blackberry, but I feared the RIM would not survive.

    If you could explain the problem you are having, somebody here might actually be able to help you. 
    And FYI, the RAZR was already being designed, probably built, possibly released before Google took over.  Sounds like you have some pre-determined issues with Google, which should probably be addressed to Google themselves.

  • Playing music in my car with Droid Razr...my problem

    I used to play music from my droid in my truck via a microUSB to USB cable. I have a aftermarket high end stereo in my ride and this was the best option since a USB connection is digital and it charges the phone while plugged in, so no messy cables. After a over the air android update to the "Ice Cream Sandwich" version I can no longer do this as my steareo just spits an error message at me saying "No Support". When I inquired about this at my local Verizon retailer they kept pushing a car dock accessory package at me that would connect it to my radio thru the auxilary port. the drawback is however that I would now have to have a car charger cable to keep my droid from dying while in use. It all sounded like a marketing ploy to move accessories to me and quite frankly im more then a bit annoyed about it. I despise Apple products in all forms and refuse to drop additional cash on an Ipod. Is there a way to undo the Ice Cream Sandwich update or does anyone know of a setting that will allow music play thru the USB cable like it did before? I tried all the USB function settings, Mass Storage, Media etc... all say No Support on my trucks head unit now.

       To answer the first part of the question, by keeping the phone stock, there is no way to go back to GingerBread. Once you did the upgrade, it wrote itself in the boot loader, and any time you factory reset, it will go to Ice Cream Sandwich. Now, as SmashOgre mentioned, there are other ways to do it, but they cannot be discussed here.
      As far as your phone not working on your radio anymore, I am afraid I don't have access to a radio like that to test it with, so I can't tell you if it is an issue with your phone in particular or not.

  • My In Store Experience With Droid Razr Battery Life

    I have a Droid Razr. I took it into a local store because my battery life is HORRIBLE. The phone had been off the charger for 1h40m minutes and it was already at 60%. The CSR told me it would take 40 minutes. When I came back he told me the test said the battery "was fine", and he went on to explain that it had only gone down 10% in the 40 minutes which is pretty bad. I left and checked the phone and it was at 40%. I thought I could get the battery replaced or possibly get a new phone but he just gave me the information and walked away. I had to track him down to ask him another unrelated question.
    the battery has been on the charger the past few days more then i have been using it. i can't make a full day on a 100% charge, not even a half day. I charge at least once during the day, and around when im going to bed.

        Hi there Sas1983!
    Having a battery that will last is definitely important! I'm so sorry for the less than super experience with your phone and at the store location. I would be delighted to provide some information and suggestions.
    4G LTE Smartphones run a different radio so battery life is a little bit different. As you already know you can't remove the battery from your Razr so we absolutely want to ensure it's good! 
    You can manage your phone by using Smart Actions on your phone. Here's some information: http://search.verizonwireless.com/?q=smart actions razr&x1=t1&q1=support
    You can also close running applications easily by "double tapping" the Home Key and then swiping the open applications to the right to close them.
    Let me know how these additional steps help!
    Thanks,

  • T520 won't operate with Droid Razr M Hotspot

    I have tried a Click Away computer repair, Verizon and Motorola support but to no avail.
    My T520 will not operate with my Droid Razr M hotspot.  The hotspot works with other computers.  The
    T520 works with other hotspots.  With the Droid Razr M, the T520 connects , sometimes has internet access for a short while, then no internet access.  Most times it is no internet access from the start but the connection is made.
    I have upgraded the driver for the Realtek 1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card, no change.
    My other computer is an Ideapad Y550.  The hotpsot works fine with this.  I have no problem with my home Wifi
    operating with the T520 either.  I have spent hours by myself and with others and have no other ideas. HELP!!
    Click Away - could get other cell phone Wifi to connect with T520.  They thought the Droid Razr M was rejecting the
       connection to the T520 due to a MAC ID flagged as bad by the phone.  Explained this to Verizon but they didn't pursue this.
    Verizon - Opened a ticket to look into it and after a week still had no response. Customer agent that answered my call to follow up on open ticket said their network people didn't find anything operating incorrectly, thus no call.  Called 611 and phone person tried clearing cache and then resetting different settings to see if could get connection. 
    Motorola - tried extensively to test different setups, took over control of phone and did a lot I didn't follow,  ended running through different specified Broadcast channels ( rather than auto) to see
    if that would allow internet access.  Their conclusion is that T520 is an incompatibility with the phone.

    You can't. iPad Bluetooth does not support it.

  • ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR

    On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR.  My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates.  No new dowloands or settings changes have occured.  I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
    I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
    I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
    Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
    If others have solutions, please post.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem.  Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support.  For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app.  Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were!   incoming server is imap.mail.me.com.  Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN.  Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN

  • Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

    Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning. 
    When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak.  If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them.  Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out).  When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me.  Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other.  My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc.  But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack.  It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid". 
    Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others.  I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail.  Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem?  It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
    Thanks!

  • Bluetooth Issue with Droid Razr Maxx

    I have had my Razr Maxx for about 3 weeks. From the jump I have had problems playing music thru several bluetooth devices. It will play fine for a few minutes, then music will start stuttering(dropping in and out) and continue to do so. Music plays fine when playing thru the phone speaker or wired headphones, but fails when using bluetooth.  I called in, and they sent me another phone, and the same problem is occurring with the new one. I'm figuring its a software issue, bc I had no problems with my Droid X. Is anyone else having this problem?? I probably listen to music just as much as I talk on the phone and this is def. frustrating.

  • Battery problems with Droid Razr M

    Over the last 2 weeks my droid Razr M has lost battery power. It appears that my screen is using anywhere from 42% to 55% power. I have had a "soft" update done at the store and that lasted about 2 hours. My screen is on auto batterty saving mode, and dims after 30 seconds. I generally use my phone for texts, limited calling and occasionally checking my email. I have not downloaded anythig lately. Up to this point my battery life has been good.

    Keep your screen lighting to no higher than 20-25% and do a normal reboot again. Next try to rebuild your battery by doing the following:  
    Li-ion batteries needs to have a rebuild charge from time to time. Give this a try, Do a full 6-8 hour charge with device in sleep mode, next run it down to about 45-50 % and then a 4-5 hour charge. After that use your device and take it down to 30%. Another 6-8 hour charge and then down to no lower then 20-25% and one more full 8 hour charge. At that point your battery should be rebuilt back to a normal life cycle. This should eliminate a short battery life if all is working normal.
