Default Phone connectivity

I was under the impression that once paired to Sync my phone would stay synched. Matter of fact, I asked the salesman that and he said it would. Lately, it doesnt. I have to re-pair it each morning. Anyone else have that issue? Is it a phone issue or a Sync issue?

That's not by design. What kind of phone?

I paired my Samsung GS5 while at dealership taking delivery 10 days ago and its stayed connected since. Have you checked your phone when re-synching to ensure its still in Bluetooth mode?

I didn't have the problem until my Droid updated its system software. Have tried re-synching more than once and still wont connect properly.

Really? My phone is lucky it connects ever. Oh, and not to mention my phone automatically switches to a "driving" mode and Sync never tells me I get a phone call and it never tells me when I get text messages.

I have a windows phone and never have a problem with it connecting. I would try deleting the phone and re-pair it and see if that helps. Do you leave the Bluetooth on on your phone all the time?

Make sure that your phone is saved as "favorite" on your stereo. Just because its listed as a device, wont always connect.
