aidicula Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 After numerous attempts and trials..this is what I have concluded. Hope the info helps someone!! MFT and HDD - USB 3 HDD doesnt work. Need USB 2. I am using a 500 GB Usb 2 HDD - Fat 32 format - I have over 3000 songs (about 30 GB) and it ONLY works (indexes only once!) if I copy all the songs in the root folder. I used to have them all organized in folders, but that causes MFT to continue indexing every time I switch on the vehicle. I had enough removing the fuse power! As discussed earlier, I am assuming there is a size limitation for the index file. The index file must be storing reference location for the songs and all other info. Removing the folder locations must be reducing the size of the index file. MFT and Phones I am an Android user and used various phones and various ROMS to see what works best. I have used some Samsung devices (SII & Note with original Samsung ROM and custom ROMS) and HTC devices (Evo 3D and Sensation XE). I have to say that both the HTC devices worked well. The following functions works well: - Connection via bluetooth is almost immediate - Contacts pictures works - Messages works - Streaming music via bluetooth - Phone calls (and it disconnects correctly and continues playing songs) Note that you will need to enable the messages etc option in Advanced options of the bluetooth seetings of your HTC device. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. I too have found that my MT4G and Slide both work best when using the HTC Sense ROMs including message etc. I should re organize my music again based on your recommendations. I've just been using Amazon Cloud player as a crutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwabbit Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah I bought my new ford edge sport just to my my blutooth stop working on my 3rd day and MFT on my 5th day lol. I'm laughing but I'm pissed xD, here in Puerto Rico with all the taxes it cost 49 grand and to have a 49 grand car stop working on the 5th day really sucks :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd01 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Reuters has an article stating that Ford is starting to ship the USB updates: "... On Monday, Ford began sending USB flash drives with the updated software to 300,000 U.S. owners of vehicles outfitted with the previous version of MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch, the navigation system built into its Lincoln brand vehicles..." http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/05/ford-myfordtouch-idUSL2E8E5BL520120305?type=companyNews&feedType=RSS&feedName=companyNews&rpc=43 I sure hope it's true. My MLT has been getting flakier and flakier the last couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOEHIO Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) I stopped by my dealer this past Saturday with a cousin looking for a car, one of the service techs saw me and said that they have the update, and if I had a hour to kill, they would install it. Sounded good, but they didn't have the SD card for the Nav, so I told him I would wait until mine came in the mail with the card (hopefully soon). He said when I get it, to stop by, and they would do the update, and check to make sure that all is functioning correctly, so this is what I plan to do. Hopefully, it won't be too long before it comes in the mail. It's like waiting for Christmas to come ! Edited March 15, 2012 by JOEHIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgdr57 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I'd be curious to know in what area of the country your father lives. We both live in Bakersfield, CA. He asked me to do the installation for him; my earliest opportunity is this Sunday afternoon. I'll be sure to post that evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 :happy feet: I was quite surprised today, when I received my update in the mail. It took exactly 40 minutes for the installation, and all is functioning smoooooooooooothly. Quick response times, phones (LG & IPHONE) paired quickly and work flawlessly, screens ARE more user friendly, I'm happier than a pig in shit ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
