This seems to work fine with streaming music on an iPhone but will not work with the phone function. Is there a setting or something to achieve this?

This device is a bluetooth receiver only. It does not support the phone bluetooth profile.

Hi, paring method on this Sony Sound system is via Bluetooth and apparently streaming music will only work on audio files that are downloaded on the device itself. It will not work on streaming music coming from Pandora. -Ely

No.This is just a bluetooth speaker. You can only stream music from a bluetooth enabled device (iphone/ipad/android phone) to the speaker.

I have my IPhone hooked to the speaker via blue tooth and play music while not on a call (Pandora) when a call comes in, it silences the music and rings (just like the phone normally does.) Music resumes when I hang up.

i listen to music through the bluetooth. its called a2dp streaming so it should work. most newer abdroid and iphones support that.

No, it will not play music from the iPhone, because it doesn't support A2DP, a Bluetooth standard that allows music to get to your headset. Phone calls only.

When I am playing songs through the auxiliary cable, I can not use the head unit to skip or pause songs. Everything has to be done through the phone itself. (I have a HTC One)

Should be able to. I listen to music via a thumb drive in the front USB port, and receive calls from my iPhone at the same time. The music fades out and resumes when the call ends.

Hi Brian,1st of all I don't have an iPhone 5 but when my friend connected his iPhone 4s it did not transfer the phone audio just the music. All notification does sound through the speaker so it some times gets annoying because it cuts your song for few seconds.

I have an iPhone and therefore use that when listening to music. I thought I'd be able to adjust the volume with the mic, but what it does for me is pause and play music and movies (when I use Netflix app). Maybe that can be changed but I haven't figured out a way yet.

I have a Galaxy S3, and have been wondering the same thing. I've searched a lot for the same info. As far as I know there aren't any units that are android friendly. Most are compatible with Iphone. You should still be able to stream music, or play music from the phone through the unit using an aux or usb connection. I just don't think it will show any artist info on screen.

They are not designed for streaming music. They only are used to answer and talk hands free. If you are looking for one that you can answer calls and stream music I'd look for the headset kind. I have this product and it's only used to have hands free when on the phone. Hope this helps.

I have not experienced this with my iPhone. I just reconnect it via Bluetooth devices and begin playing music. I cannot speak to android as I do not own any android devices.

It sounds like that might be the case. Android is a different OS than Iphone (sending device). Therefore the settings on the Android OS (sending device) might not be compatible with the source device. Remember, the cord is nothing more than a vehicle used to transfer audio signals from one device to another. If you are terminating the signal at a mixing device's balanced input Jack (XLR) then, in some cases you may have to do a little soldering to the cable's No. 3 & 1 pins. I hope this helps. Oh.. Also check the sending devices audio format eg. m3p,wav or mp4, etc.

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

I just checked it by calling my sis. It does work on phone calls but NOT with the iphone speaker phone turned on. It also works on Siri. To get better quality sound for both your iphone 5 and speaker do the following:On iphone main page touch settings.Scroll down to Music and touch.Touch EQ.Then pick a category to your liking.I have mine set on Bass Booster.Hope all of this helps you. I really like this speaker.

Yes, this is really an iPhone function. If you are listening to music, the turn by turn directions will be heard in place of the music, and then the music will return. The radio must listening to Bluetooth for this to work. I have the TomTom app, and it works great.
