Mainly play with it for a bit before you get a successful pair. Might help to totally clear out the memory on the phone and the truck and then trying it again. Android phones can be a little bit of a pain to get to pair to Uconnect at first anyways. It's not just the Evo. This I know.

Does the EVO stream music to the head unit through the Bluetooth?

My evo works fine as a phone, however the streaming audio (mp3 and pandora) sounds terrible, like a scratched cd. My solution is that I have my phone in the HTC made cradle mounted under the inverter plug (so that the AC can blow on it and it does not overheat), and use a jack into the stereo's line in. This lets the phone charge, not overheat, and offers perfect sound (way better than sirius). The phone even recognizes the truck as a set of headphones with no microphone so it leaves on its mic, that way calls work like bluetooth, except bypass bluetooth.

My EVO will work for a few weeks, then not. I just repair with a new name. Bad idea I know since I have like 6 paired names for my phone but it always repairs? As far as bluetooth streaming, it is like fast forward, I gave up and just loaded all my music to the hard drive.

In order to stream music, you need to press the media button, then att the top of the screen you will see an "aux" tab, press it and the music should start to stream. The problem is that the HTC streaming is being sent out of the phone in an unsupported value that the Uconnect system accepts. That is why several people here are mentioning that the audio is choppy or sounds fast. There is a SW update that the dealer service dept should be getting around 7-1-2011 -- 7-8-2011. This will help a lot of the streaming issues that people are having as well as dropping of BT connections.

Just to let anyone with an HTC phone (EVO & Shift, There may be a few others but these are the 2 that I am aware of right now) HTC has a SW update for the issues that they are having with the BT dropped connections and the Streaming audio. This update ant the update that Chrysler will be releasing will get your phones working with out dropping the connection. They have done some work on how the Phone book is sent to the Uconnect as well as work on their streaming audio signal. This is the same SW that I tested for them last month and it works on the BT connection, when I originally did the testing, the streaming audio was better but not perfect. HTC did more work on it since then. I know that with the version that I tested along with the Chrysler update that the streaming audio worked well.
