android/iphone and mb apps?
Sorry -- searched extensively already -- not finding the answers I need yet:
How do I know if the E is connecting to the internet via my phone or not?
right now, the MB apps crawl -- they are terribly slow, and basically useless -- I assume I do not have a connection to my old HTC Evo droid, and it's using the E's own 'net interface/modem.
I'm anticipating getting an iPhone 5 or 5s in the next couple months on an upgrade from Sprint -- will this help my issues with the app speed? Will i then be able to connect to the internet via my phone?
Thanks in advance.

Really easy way to tell. On an iPhone the top status bar becomes blue to show your tethered. Also check the settings in the car to which device it's set to for data.
My 2013 UK W212 doesn't have a built in modem, it has to use my phone. But even with a strong 3G signal it's slow.

Totally agree that MB Apps are so slow that it's basically useless. I tried it without my phone in vehicle so I know it's not using my phone service. I certainly will not be re-subscribing when my paid trial is up.
I did pay for 2 years of mbrace as I liked the idea of being able to send addresses to the car GPS.
