youri631 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Jamjordan, same here, the website says I'm up to date with 3.5.2, I guess I will have to give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffdelta Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 My understanding is one of the improvements of this update is Improved screen interactions while using voice Has anyone found a list of new voice commands that we should now be using in place of previous voice commands?

drpepper Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Did Ford really write the 3.6 code to prevent us from using a reboot app? The delayed reboot came from Ford in the 1st place- here http://boards.synccommunity.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=fordsyncmb&tid=3904 was the last step in the zip file to reboot after applying the update way back for the Sirius Chanel lineup. Ford thinks erasers do not belong on pencils? or every window computer out there is wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinzII Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I did the update but saw that it did not hold my time as I set it. I did not do a master reset after the update but I will try that this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 So for 3.6 so far the possible negative is the reboot app not working & the features that were not fixed? It hasn't removed or broke anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just finished the install of 3.6 and went back to the Sync My Ride page to report the succesful install. All it is showing is that I downloaded the 3.6 but it will not allow anywhere to report the install. Yesterday while downloading there was a place to click to report the install, but today now that I have installed it, I can't report it. The last date for a reported install is June of 2012, so it is not reported as installed, just downloaded. I like the artist and song title showing up on the home screen for the Sirius and USB sources. I tried several of the HD channels but they do not show the same info. It just shows Entertainment where the song and artist show up for the other sources. I know the HD channels are broadcasting the info because if I expand the Entertainment quadrant to full screen, it shows all the info. Same for the FM info not showing up in the home screen, just the expanded Entertainment window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limited59 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 The corners aren't actually larger - they just allow you to touch any part of the quadrant to switch not just the top or bottom edge. Aaaaahhhh. Ok. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks for confirming. Ford's lack of software quality control and testing is amazing to have missed this bug. At least iOs has quarterly updates unlike MFT. Even the previous version had an issue with DST. So GPS appears to get it right but MFT 'forgets' to adjust for DST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 my post 81- need some clarification.....Seems there may be conflicting experiences with the delayed reboot app. on 3.6 Can anyone else test?

Ok, I actually did this on my way home tonight. This is a nice change. Kudos Ford! I am also liking how quick everything loads on start up including the Bluetooth connection of my phone.

wilsons66604 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Just for grins, I went into the network setup and was able to connect Sync to my garage's WiFi. I then set my Edge to be an access point and was able to connect to my Edge with my phone. Wow....wait. When I tried to surf the internet on my phone, I had no internet access.Why is Ford retaining this useless feature of WiFi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpepper Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 wifi I can get the mft sync to broadcast the wifi & then get ipad & ipod to select the sync wifi - wo ho- but then what.... My kids or passengers still do not get internet!!! to get internet somehow I would need to get the phone to pass that ability through car back out via the sync wifi that the ipad sees. but Don't the cell carriers ( mine AT&T) lock you out unless you pay the extra $30 or so to "allow" tethering? If so then why not just tether the phone to ipad for the EXTRA data you just paid for vs sharing the one you already paid for to make a smart phone work- ( can't opt out else it not a phone anymore) . So Again --back to why & what use is it Ford ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 When I got in the car this morning, the time held and I had no problems. I paired the wife's phone last night. Looks like it's forcing me to change pronounciations again. I had to revert back to the old way of saying a friend's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011sport Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 oh well this update killed my screen, its black. No radio no back up camera, nada....Now have to bring it to ford dealer on Monday. Not happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stang99x Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 So am I the only person on earth who isn't being offered 3.6? I had to go back and confirm old updates since the previous owner never confirmed them. It has 3.5.1 that the dealer installed back in late June. But the site has no option for 3.6?

Glad it's not just me. I've been thinking since the update that the Sync system is learning all over again how I say words and names.

drpepper Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Why do you keep trying to use it? Why do you always use sarcasm? if my kid could use the ipad & get internet while parents are driving the long summer trips then useful.... but since can not.... After 3 years if a feature is not used or popular get rid of it...oh wait that was your reply more or less to the direct input of Lat/Long in nav- cause they need resources to improve overall system performance... So why not remove the broken wifi for that extra resource? I give back or add a nice value added feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackalope Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Did the update today and the first thing I noticed that is gone is the ability to use upper and lower case text when entering favorites in the navigation system. There is no longer a shift of caps key on the virtual keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
