I purchased this phone just after it's release in 2011 and had this phone for almost 4 years. It's great for media use and gaming as well as playing music will be no problem however as with all smart phones of this generation the battery life is not good (especially if using the bowser or streaming) and you will need to keep extra batteries or an extended battery handy for extended use when away from a was all charger.

Via bluetooth - audio playback, previous/next buttons, and current artist/song display (SPP) works in some applications. Also, make/answer calls, and it may support the phonebook (i don't know)Via USB (if the phone can mount as a mass storage device) - browse folders, play songs or playlists.Pandora mode - No. (you can play music from pandora over bluetooth, but you cannot change station or thumbs up/down from the head unit).AppRadio/Advanced App mode - No (not for me at least).

Again, i only used the device to play music files on my LG Esteem. That wasnt too bad but playing Pandora.... only matter of time before phone would repeatedly shut down.

Yes, works great with mine. The only feature that doesn't work is Pandora. I was told that you need an iPhone for that but I Bluetooth my tunes from my android phone just fine. Calls, the address book, everything works great!

I dont think you need the iPhone for Pandora. The radio has a "Bluetooth Audio" setting. I just put it on that and it will play whatever audio my phone is playing. Podcasts, mp3s, Pandora, whatever.

Yes and No. For yes, Hold the reset button on the bottom of the speaker. It will now post out it's own wifi signal. The down side is that the Iphone now thinks it is on wifi and will not pull off pandora via the cell phone network.

Hello Violet G. I bought this phone one year ago and now this is what I have to say about it. Answering to your question, yes Violet, you can use this phone as an mp3 player even though its quality volume is poor. This cell phone is a good device if we are talking about running programs and response. It never gets stocked running a program. However, speaking of hardware, it presents some issues. Since I got it, this galaxy nexus showed a lot of trouble by getting a good signal. I tried with other service companies but with each of them the cell phone presented the same problem. After three months, another issue came to the surface. The cell phone started turning on the screen while it was locked. Pressing the locker bottom made that the cell phone locked for a while, getting its screen turned off but after 2 or 3 seconds and in some cases 20 seconds the screen turned on again by itself, remaining in that state for several minutes (around 10 minutes in some cases), making the battery dead pretty soon. Two months after that, my galaxy nexus received a message and the ringtone stocked and with it the whole cell phone. It turned off and it never turned on again. I took it to a samsung store and they said to me that the logical memory was dead. Now I have to pay half of the price that this cell phone cost, in order to get it fixed, putting aside the fact that the guarantee did not cover this problem. If you read about this cell phone on the internet, you will find a lot of forums and webpages where they show that this problem seems to be very common, more that you can imagine. So, if I can give some advice to you Violet, I will say, dont buy this phone, buy something else, something like a Sony Xperia Z, Nokia Lumia or an HTC. Sony is better for music as well as HTC which some of them have beats audio and the music playback is better by far. I hope I've helped you with this review. Good luck!

I have a jailbroke iphone 4 and a ipod touch. It works for both. I tried on the touch before it was modded and all i could get was the sound to work

Nope from what I hear its droid only. I think if ur iPhone is jailbroken u might be able to get it to work. It's garbage though none of the pin codes worked and the seller still hasn't responded to me

Mine was broken, it never worked. You suppose to just put in ipod mode and it will start playing. I chucked my broken devise in the garbage. I regret ordering it only throw Amazon.com but it was the same price as in the store 9.99.

Does what work? The tune try is meant for ios devices but far as Pandora it will work with any device.

Yes, I use it through connecting my bluetooth for calling. It's really nice too! You may connect to Pandora also. I don't, because I access my music by connecting to the auxiliary connection.

Needless to say the ipod button don't work, but if you have Bluetooth then you can use the hands free / music streaming functionality. I've used this unit with a Samsung Galaxy II, Motorola G, and an HTC ONE M8 without issue.

Sorry Maria, I only have an iPod touch 4 and that works fine. My husband has a iPod touch 5 and it only works as a speaker when you plug in the earphone outlet ( so it won't charge while playing music). No idea about the actual phones though

You would have to use your phone to stream Pandora. the unit does not have any apps. You may be able to control the Pandora experience using head unit buttons, but I do not know for sure.

John, Thank you for your interest in Urban Wireless. This is a Phone locked to Sprint. The IPOD is used by many for music, web surfing, pics, etc.. Also, you cannot use the IPod as a phone unless there is an attachment to give it cellular ability. It is not worth the investment $$$$. The IPods are general used for Media purposes. Hope this helps Chris

Bluetooth connection must be maintained to play songs. It doesn't download anything if that's what you're asking. I use pandora, spotify and iTunes on my iPhone 5
