SyncGen2 v3.8 and Android 7 Issues

[cubanB]

In October I bought a new phone, the LG V20 (sprint if that matters). I have read on some android forums people stating BT connection issues, however I don't seem to be affected by that. My issue is that text message function is not working. It used to notify me on screen and audibly if I had received a text while driving and from who(i think). I've done a master reset and I can not get this feature working like it used to on android 6. I can however send a new message(one of Ford's™ amazing predefined messages® - sent from my Dell© PC typed with my Logitech keyboard© ) when I am sitting in park.

 

So the question is does 3.8 need to be updated to be fully compatible with android 7? If yes, am I a fool for expecting this to ever happen? Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't been more than minorly annoyed by this but it can be very useful for people who spend a lot of the time driving for work.

 

Perhaps it's specific to my phone model or brand? Anyone running MFT 3.8 and Nougat without issue?

 

EDIT: This is on a 2011 Ford Edge Limited

On iphones you have to turn notifications back on after you make the bluetooth connection on the phone. Maybe Android has a similar issue. Look for options on the live bluetooth connection.

I have an HTC 10 & it was updated recently to nougat, no issues with SMS notifications or reading of messages by MFT. It also announces from who the is if it's from a saved contact & SMS notification is set to text to speech.
