Radio connects to phone, but bug in software doesn’t allow connection with the radio.

Just got my 510 back from ICOM to have MMSI reset. This model is new but for some reason cannot reset MMSI. I tried RS-M500 but despite two sessions with ICOM America, the app still does not connect to radio. Very disappointed.

Being able to use noise canceling headphones through my cell phone for radio communication would be great. Except this app disconnects from the radio whenever it’s not the primary focus of the phone such as when the screen locks or you get an alert or you switch to another app for some reason. It needs to work all the time to be useful. In the background. When the phone is locked. When you switch to another app. Until then, it’s marginally useful because it drops the radio connection in so many common cell phone scenarios.
