A:AnswerYes you can. Just bought 12/2016 and it works great! With "ask Google" you can open various apps, dial by name (in your contacts) or by number hands free. Many options many features all with Google !!
A:AnswerYou can not really hear anything else out of the ear you have it in. That being said, it only goes in one ear so you can still hear outside noise with the other ear. In terms of comfort that has been my issue, I feel like it fits tightly in yoru ear which is good when in use, but when you take it out I noticed it hurt a little, like in ear headphones that are a little big for my ear canal. It seems like it could be shaped more ergonomically.
A:AnswerYou can personalize the name of your Bluetooth headset in your phone settings when you go to Bluetooth connected devices. In the device settings it also has the model number etc...
A:AnswerI’ve had the same issue with my iPhone 8. I’m thinking the device is not up to date with new phones. Although I did read a review about an iPhone 5s having the same issue. So I don’t know what the problem is.
Sorry I can’t answer your question, though. Thought you’d like to hear that someone else has the same issue.
