If this has been covered before, I can't find mention of it. I've moved from a blackberry tour to the dinc 2. My blackberry easily paired with my Nissan Altima and had a feature to download my internal phonebook, allowing me to see caller ID on incoming calls. The dinc paired easily enough, and gives much better reception than the BB, but I can't find any way to download my contact list. A spend a lot if time in the car, and life would be easier if I knew who was calling without digging the phone out of my pocket.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this feature simply unavailable?
Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

My Ford sync'd with the inc2 including downloading the address book without any problems. That's pretty standard capability so I can't see why you should have any troubles - perhaps you need to tell the car to update or some such.
Thanks. I'm probably missing something obvious. If it works on Ford it should work on Nissan, so I'll digg out my manuals and try again. I had convinced myself that it just wasn't possible.

Recently my car stereo stopped syncing the phone book and call log from my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I don't know how or why. It simply stopped working. I want to reset the connection, i tried unpairing but this didn't work. I want to actually delete the connection from the phones memory. As of now whenever I click on Bluetooth, JVC Unit is always listed there. When I first established a connection it asked if it was ok to share my phones call log and phone book, and gave a check box to remember my response for next time. I cliked OK and REMEMBER and everything was fine. Now I think it could be possible that somehow it has been set to "NO" and "Remember"(although that would be weird since I didn't mess with it) thus no matter how many times I connect, it always refuses to share. I don't know if this is really the problem, or how to fix it. Any ideas? FYI the phone works fine through Bluetooth it just has no history or data in the phone log and phone book functions.
Have you updated the ROM?

I am having the same problem on Sensation XE. It seems that with some ROMs it communicates without problems, in other cases it does not show call logs. Try to figure out what you've changed. Have you accepted any OTA?

Both.
To text from TABLET, first install this app on your phone, then install our MightyText tablet app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mightytext.tablet
I use Tablet Talk and it's the same way, the app runs on both devices and they stay connected via BT or Wifi. I may have to give this one a try and compare.

Tablet Talk isn't free but you only need to purchase it once, I'd try this other one first.
MightyText uses the network. My favorite part is I can view my texts via https://mightytext.net/web/ and also send from there. So if I forget my phone at home I can log in from work and view/reply/send. They do store the texts on their server so you are risking that I guess. You can specify how many days worth of text to save on their side. This gives more detail as well http://mightytext.net/
Mighty text is pretty nice I like it
+1 for MightyText. I use it on my N7 and Moto X 2013. There is also a Chrome extension for texting from your computer.
Can Mighty Text let you answer phone calls via your Tablet? By that I mean the phone still answers the call, you can just remote it from the tablet.

Tablet Talk can, I want to try out Mighty Text, just seeing if it's there. With Tablet talk if the phone rings, I get a pop up on my Tablet to answer it. It's primarily for someone using a head/bluetooth. I use my tablet in the car for Nav/Music and my phone as a hot spot. I can answer calls from the tablet without needing to pick my phone up.
I do like the server based model with Mighty Text. Tablet Talk depends on the devices connecting together via BT or over the same wifi network.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I thought you wanted an app that let you actually take the call through your tablet with voice, not just control the phone being answered. MightyText does have an option to notify the tablet/PC when the phone is ringing, but I'm not sure if you can initiate the call with it or not.
I just checked my settings and turned it on for my phone. Not sure why it was off.. but the other day for the first time since I started taking the bus to work in July I got a phone call on the ride home. I had my headphones in, which were plugged in to my tablet, so I didn't hear my phone until it got to the loudest ringer (escalating "Maneater" by Hall & Oates ).

The notification is nice, at least you know you have a call. Nice ring tone btw..
I finally got everything worked out in the car so that the tablet connects to my head unit for music and the phone connects for phone. The tablet and phone connect to each other via BT for Tablet Talk to work and the tablet uses the hotspot on my phone. I almost have it all automated also, just need to work out something in tasker to turn my hotspot on when I have some time to play around with it.

Depending on the order of events, you could turn on hotspot as soon as your phone connects to the car. And when your tablet connects to the head unit, turn on wifi (if you keep it off for battery saving).
I actually have Tasker turn my hotspot on when I get out of the car (if it's M-F from 6:30a-7:30a; when I go to get on the bus), and turns off when my tablet detects that I'm near my work WiFi. In the afternoon Tasker enables WiFi at 4:30 when I leave work and stays on until bluetooth connects in my car again after I get off the bus.

Thanks for the tip, I figured I could trigger it off the BT connect, gotta see if I can get the app to open and turn on, on a stock LG G2 so it's a modded copy of the Verizon mobile hotspot..

I don't have a modded Hotspot app, but I use the Tasker toggle in Net > WiFi tether. Works great. If you're rooted, you can also use shell commands to simulate input if you need to open the Hotspot app and press a button. Not hard, I can share details if needed.

Now that I'm on a PC (was on my phone last night) I can explain the shell command option. If using the regular Net > Wifi Tether option doesn't work in Tasker, try this way.
First, go to Developer Options in your settings menu (if you don't have Dev Options, go to Settings > About Phone and tab the build number 7 times until it says you're a developer) and turn on Pointer Location. This will put a gray bar at the top of the screen showing the coordinates of where you're touching. Go into your hotspot app and note the coordinates of whatever buttons you need to press to enable and disable the hotspot. The coords you want are X and Y and should be the second set of numbers from the left.
Have a Tasker action open the hotspot app you need, then make a new action with Script > Shell.
In the Command portion, type:
Code:
input tap X Y
Where X and Y are the coordinates you recorded earlier for whatever button you need to press to enable hotspot. Make sure the Use Root checkbox is checked. If you need more than one input command, make another Script > Shell using the same method. I usually put Task > Wait for 1 second between input commands just to give the phone a moment to think. Do the same in reverse for your exit task to turn it back off again.
Once you set it up, press the play button in the lower left corner to test it out. You will need to grant Tasker root access if you haven't done so previously.
Let me know if you have questions, happy to help.
I've been doing a ton of research and I want to know what the status is of using the Nexus 7 (2013) as a hands free device. I've seen some discussion about BlueZ, adding bluetooth profiles, using hands free kits, mic input from DACs, etc. but nothing really that recent. I'm hoping that there has been some development in this area with 5.1.1. The goal is to have the call audio go to the car speakers and maybe have an external mic for the audio in.
How are others doing it and what is the current accepted way to accomplish this? Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm starting to build my system and this is one of the last things I need to figure out.
I have the cellular version Nexus 7 if there's a way I can use that to send/place calls from the same number with a second SIM or something.
you can setup the nexus through auxiliary so that audio goes through the car speakers, and if your really picky about what kind of sounds go through your car speakers or the nexus speakers you can use an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=en
For making calls and such from a different device you should use an app like Mysms https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mysms.android.sms&hl=en
It allows texting from any device using your phone by sending the info through wifi or bluetooth to your phone. It can also route calls from your phone to what ever device you want allowing you to answer with your tablet (with mysms this requires paid version, but there are likely other apps out there).

The issue is that I'm replacing the head unit with the Nexus. I have Tablet talk which allows me to answer calls on m phone from the tablet, but the audio goes over the phone. I want to be able to answer the phone call on the tablet and have the tablet handle the audio. I've seen other threads about this and I've searched, but I haven't seen anything that are very recent. The best 'solution' I saw was implementing the BlueZ bluetooth stack to provide the required profiles, but I find their instructions confusing and it doesn't seem like anyone has attempted to get it working even though many people are looking for a solution to this.
Does anyone have any experience with implementing BlueZ on 5.1.1?
ok, your saying the app requires you to still use your phone to complete a phone call.
Using google voice setup and hangouts. Using this setup is the best I can think of. You can setup your current phone number I believe to work with google voice. Then just setup your phone to tether to your tablet.
Im fairly certain google hangouts can use your cellular service to place the calls and text, but if you have no service but have data/wifi it can use those, but im not 100% sure on that.
EDIT: I should clarify, google hangouts/voice works to make calls/texts/videocalls over wifi on any smart device without cell service. By using your own number your tablet will be able to make calls/texts/videocalls all from your number, all you need is data connection/wifi. I have not tried using hangouts over cell service without data, never had a need.

Nah, I gave up - I got no support so I just broke down and got the MotorMouth 2.
But if someone were to figure it out I'd like to know the solution so I can have a single device act as my HU.
I'm working on a solution. Bluez lets you build AOSP for Nexus 7 2013 and it has HFP support. I will tell you if I did something. It really looks like no one is willing to help on this area. I searched a lot, but just peaces.

Dear XDA community,
since quite a while now I am having an annoying issue when getting in the car. As soon as the handsfree system pairs with my phone I get the popup on the HTC if I want to allow to share my phone contacts with the car (BMW). This issue is persistent even after getting into my second car (TOYOTA).
Ive have so far deleted the pairing on the cars and phone side and re-paired the device countless times. Obviously I have also marked the checkbox "dont ask me again" everytime. I have even tested it without marking the box. No matter what I do...the phone wont remember that I always want to share my contacts with the car / or any other BT device in that respect.
Any advice? The phone is S-OFF and rooted, but I really would like to avoid to reset and start with everything from scratch.
Cheers,
eivissa

Why not just share the contacts? It wants to do that for voice dialing.
That is what I want it to do. Every time without asking me again and again!
