Hi all,
I have a pioneer BT unit in my car, it only accepts vcards send via bluetooth on the phone to create a phonebook on the unit.
I can send my contacts one to one to the pioneer unit by sending them as a v-card in the contacts app.
in my old phone (touch dual / niki) i was able to select multiple contacts and send them all together to my car-stereo. I can't find this option anywhere.
I installed bluetooth file transfer, which has the possibility to send multiple contacts, but that doesnt work on my desire, it hangs all the time and it messes up my bluetooth settings such that a connection could not be made with the app installed.
does anyone have any clue, or great app for this?
Well i'm having a MB bluetooth module in my car.
The problem i'm having is somewhat the same as above.
I can upload vcf cards one by one but that would take me ages. I can also go to: "contacts>import/export contacts>Share visible contacts>Bluetooth". When i do this, it always fails...
Anyone has a clue to this?
Regards
Mr H

One of my pastimes is sending inoccuous messages and pictures to peoples phones over BT. I've been successfully doing this for ages with my Sonyerricson K700i. I've had fun sending ringtones and themes to people for free
When I attempt to do this with the XDA it fails saying the remote device doesn't accept messages this way. I assume its cos the XDA is using a different protocol to the K700i. Is there anything I can install to address this?
Cheers,
Steve
don't know about your question but would also be interested in the answer.
I work at the airport and it seems that everyone has there bluetooth on. even the names people call themselves are quite funny. im still trying to work out who calls themselves "jugs" :lol: near my desk

Maybe becasue the default setting of the XDA is for the remote device to promt a passkey and for the sender to type in that key, that way, the sender cant figure out the key.
a possible solution?!?
Allright, i will give it a try to, .
First of all the so called os systems on the pohe's are different.
ringtone's (mp3's) should be possible to send; when they are supported on both phones, otherwise he stays in your sms incomings box till you delete it.
And like others explained to you both need to have the same passkey for doing this.
on some older phone models it was possible to do this due an security isue in bluetooth.
But time does not stand still and update come often, this bug become's less vurnable for phones.
So best way i now to send a ringtone is, with a passkey al my friends know to use "0000" is basic so you putt that in.
Or take a held on your friends phone (when he is not awhere) to make them autopairing.
just like a bluetooth headset.
Hope some others have better solutions for this.
:?: :!: :?: :arrow: :idea:
Cheers guys, I know about pairing On teh K700i though, I can normally send a contact to say a Sony Ericsson T610 or Nokia 6310i without interaction by the recipient. The XDA IIs seems unable to do this.
I believe that its because the XDA hasn't got the correct protocol. Should be Object push instead of Object exchange, am I right?
Steve
I have been searching for something of this sort but was not able to..
Bluejacking
I also like to do this and im sure i have been able to send contacts to the phones mentioned. With the latest bluetooth stack there should also be no problem sending files. I know I have sent files ot my brothers phone without pariing but I had to alter my bluetooth profile.
In any rate this software http://www.net-cell.com/MP/ sends messages to any phones in range continously without the need for action on the recipiants phone. It works on the XDA2s.

I went to their page, and selected the download for the XDA II but they say it isn't supported. Which model did you download for?

I don't know if am missing something here guys,but I am sending files over bluetooth to all supported devices(Nokia,SonyEricsson,Samsung...)all the time from my MDAII(Himalaya)...
I just go to windows explorer(not Resco),select the file,press and hold,then select beam file....then I can detect every single bluetooth device with bluetooth on in range...just select it and...voila...the other device gets notified that someone is sending a file,and,by accepting it,it will be sent...
am still feeling am missing something,it cannot be that easy...
Cheers...
RAGO :lol:
When I try and send, I get a message saying the device doesn't support the recieving of messages. Pairing I can do but on the K700i I used to be able to send a contact to certain devices no problem.
When I select 'Beam' I get nothing. Seems to be only for Infra-Red.
I also tried Meeting Point and it crashed on my XDA IIs
Steve
Well all.
Is none of you aviable to send a contact?
To do so called bluejacking on my xda,
I simpy create a contact called "bluejacked"
Then i go to my contacts,
And hold down the conact called "bluejacked.
In the menu what pops up i find a button.
Something called "send contact by bluetooth". i'm not so sure :roll:
then i let my device search for bleutooth devices.
Once someone's bluethooth is on i simply push on the device in my screen.
And 90% of the message's i send this way are delivered.
don't need of a passphrase when you're sending a contact.
Did this with my xda and a sony ericson k750 the both worked in both way's to almost all phone's
Is this also working for other XDA phone's?
:roll:
Hi all
I have come across the problem that I can't send SMS larger than 160 chars after I upgraded to the "official" WM6. I am using the Swedish version on a HTC TyTN. When I try and send a message that is larger than the 160 chars i get a message saying (loosely translated from Swedish) Can't send SMS. After I click ok I also get notification on the bottom left part of the sms window saying synchronization error.
Has anyone else got the same problem and if so have anyone found a solution.
/Nicklas
Just to clarify...
I take it to mean that you could sent sms that were over 160 characters before you upgraded?
Because most of the providers that I know don't allow that.
Found something on the forums about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293505
Hope it helps.
Yes I could since the SMS program automatically sends the large SMS in smaller parts.
Say I make an SMS with 203 chars then it would send it as 2 sms, one with the first 160 chars and then a second sms with 43 chars and when the SMS arrive to the recieving phone it will be put together if that phone is capable of that. Now days I think all phones can do this. Or at least should be able to do this but after the upgrade to WM6 this fails on my TyTN.
i guess the previous version of the SMS application was allowing what is called multiparts message, meaning it send as many SMS of 160 car regarding your text lengh but with no guarantee that the reviever will have them in the proper order
usually SMS is limited to 160 car
larsuck: Thanx for the link but nothing in that helped.
So if anyone else have any idea I would much appreciate it because it is a bit frustrating that it worked with wm5 and not with wm6 so far
Have you tried to take a look at DiStefano's Cab Collection? There is an Palm SMS application. You can try it with this application if it is possible on you're device. Its a small test!
Good luck
Well I found out how to fix it.
I did this:
Once upgraded settings need to be changed to ensure desired operation, on the device go to start>settings>connections(tab)>USB to PC, untick the box (Enable advanced network functionality) then exit back to the today screen.

??? Why would this have an effect on SMS limitations?
I don't know exactly why but what I did was that I hard reseted the unit and after that multipart sms worked as it should. Then I connected the usb cable and ActivSync wanted to reconfigure the settings so I went through the wizard. One of the questions I get is if I want to let internet calls and mms to be sent when the unit is connected and I choose that. Then I let the unit sync with my PC.
After that I couldn't send multipart sms again until I unticked the Enable advanced network functionality box
If anyone knows why this is please enlighten me
XDA Orbit with WM6 (Black and Blue Version 4.0) + Garmin Nuvi 660FM Text Messaging Issues :
Okay I currently use my Garmin Nuvi 660FM as my Bluetooth Car kit and overall it is a great piece of Kit but there is only one option that does not seem to work correctly the SMS Function to read messages on screen and reply, this function would be very handy as you could safely and easily read the larger text while on the go.
I have used the Jetware Bluetooth add in version 1.3 and this helps a little in order to add a small bit of functionality such as only one ringtone is now used instead of the Orbit using it's own ringtone and the same for the Garmin.
Also the Text Message option seems to be alive but somewhat limited:
1.) Is shows the Inbox as 0/0 Outbox as 0/0 and the Drafts folders as empty, even though at the start of connection is says syncronsing messages, it neither syncronises the Outlook Mail nor the SMS
2.) Also when trying to send a text message, it goes through the process but does not send at all.
So, what I want to know is that has anyone got this function to work with either a Garmin Nuvi with that facility or even a Tomtom with the same and if so how did you get it to work.
Thanks
Robbie
Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help shed some light on this issue. I connect my ATT Note 2 via Bluetooth to the handsfree system in my car (2013 Dodge which uses UConnect system). I've seen people having issues getting this setup to work, but mine worked very well right from the get go. Phone control, bluetooth music streaming and SMS all worked well with voice control.
However, just this week, it appears I got an update "pushed" to the phone for ATT's message app. I didn't like the fact that it was pushed onto the phone, caused far too many notifications of incoming texts and was causing duplicate messages with the stock message app. So, I uninstalled the update and disabled the app. This appeared to get me back to the stock messaging app as everything was before. Except for one strange side-effect. Now, when I'm connected to my hands free system in the car via bluetooth and get an incoming text, the system cannot announce the name of the sender anymore. It was working fine. Now the system just says "No Number Available". The frustrating thing is it was working well and then developed this issue with the only thing I know changing was the ATT message app debacle in the middle.
Does anyone have a clue as to why the handsfree system cannot resolve the incoming sender name anymore and announce it as it did before? The handsfree system has access to contacts and the people sender texts are in my contact list. I can actually send texts fine hands free.
I've tried phone re-boots, re-pairing and few others things. Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Can I ask what Rom you are using? I also have 2012 Chrysler that has U connect. I have never been able to get it to do the SMS.

I've been searching all over for a solution to this problem, but I have been having trouble coming up with a search query that provides relevant responses, so I figured I would ask directly.
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact running the latest snapshot of cyanogenmod (cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-amami). I've paired it with my Ford Sync system in my car, and can hold voice conversations and receive SMS texts perfectly fine through the Bluetooth connection. However, any time I receive an MMS message (message with picture or group message) I do not get notified of it in Ford Sync. I'm not familiar enough with this technology to know whether it is the Xperia's hardware, the OS, some Bluetooth configuration settings, or Ford Sync that is the source of the problem. I have not yet had a chance to try pairing a different phone to see if this makes a difference, but that would be my next step.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this matter? It would be a nice feature to be able to get working.
Thanks in advance.

I think you have answered part of your own question. Start by syncing the Ford to a different phone and see if that works. If it works then it points towards the Z1c being the problem. The next thing to try would be a stock rom on the Z1c, sometimes the librarys for bluetooth are slightly different with CM builds. If it doesn't work with a stock build then I don't know what else to try, sorry.
