Verizon Problems

dave603 · 08-07-2015, 07:56 PM

We both have Verizon phones, both LG.
We have a 2012 Toyota that has Bluetooth, both phones worked when we bought the car, suddenly they both do not. Seems odd that they stopped working after the current law went into effect.
Took it to the dealer, they said it was the phone, not the car's Bluetooth.
Worked well before for over a year, now does not. We can hear incoming, but no one can hear us. They also said the system is geared towards an IPhone

Seems coincidental to me that Verizon also offered an upgrade to an Iphone..
Wonder what they upgraded to my old phones software wise, since I also suddenly have some APP for "back ups" I never ordered or wanted.
I specifically told them when we got the phones we wanted NO APPs.
If I had my way, I'd still have a damned rotary dial on it.

Thanks to DAD, we re-powered, something we don't usually do, and now it woks fine on the Toyota.

that is what I have and I have tried everything but I suspect something is up with Verizon but they are not saying it is them.

Our verizon service worked as usual while we were up at the lake this week as well as everywhere else we went in New England.

My bluetooth also works fine in my Toyota (I have a 2012 Prius V and Droid Turbo).
