T mobile note 2 will not sms with Ford Sync - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I had a Verizon note 2 and it would read text messages from my phone. I just changed to t mobile and I connected my phone to my car. I thought all would be fine since its the same type phone. I can't figure out why its not working. I have unsynced and resynced my phone several times. All of the times I have allowed my phone too map. Can someone please help.

Its tmo service which is causing the issue. They dont allow devices to access their network through phones.
I have an acura with acuralink, been researching for literally a year to get this stupid acura link to work and i cant figure it out. Another guy on the acura forums has a verizon phone he said it synced up without him trying to.

Jedi x12 had an option for bluetooth tethering, idk if that wluld help u. Im on jedi master right now. Might flash a cm rom to test it out, dont know when thou.
I personally don't think its a rom or phone issue, its on tmo's side. But give it a shot, might work for ur needs. Lemme know what happens, its a step in the right direction

When I had the Verizon phone with hacked APN my SMS Sync read out worked. I changed phone because if I wasn't on wifi Google play, email, and some sites wouldn't work. Plus I didn't have a frequency that T Mobile uses.

My T-Mobile Note 2 is working fine with Ford MyTouch Sync... SMS messages come through just fine. Have you updated to the latest firmware for your car? Another thing to try is to power cycle the car... delete your phone from the car, delete Sync from the phone, power cycle the phone, and pull the car's battery cable for a minute.

I have deleted the phone and car multiple times. I haven't tired to disconnect the cars battery. My cars firmware is up to date according to syncmyride.com. Thanks for the idea. What kind of a car so you have? Mines is a 2014 C Max.

It works now. My sync rebooted on its own and it started to work.

In the beginning, before it started working, what did it say on the Sync display? Mine says "feature not available". Thanks.

It just didn't work. Everytime I got a text my phone would give the alert noise. It's like my phone would think that somebody had already read the text message. So when I picked the phone up I didn't even know that I had received a reply because I had the radio on and couldn't hear the phone. So its like the radio was trying to get the text but couldn't all the way. I would check and neither device would say I had a text. The phone would have the text but would say that I already read it. My Sync system wouldn't even receive it.
When I started the car up the other day I heard music but the display was all black. The first text I received after that it started alerting me and giving me the option to read them. So my issue fixed is self.
Ido believe that unplugging the battery may have fixed this issue. That is as long as the regular old school car battery was the one that powered this device. As my car is hybrid.

[Q] Phone displays "Unknown Numer" when receiving calls

Ever since the update, my phone will sometimes not show a number from callers whos names and or numbers used to pop up. It just says "Unknown Caller/Number" even though before the update it would show their numbers. Anyone else experience this?
**EDIT**
Forgot to mention I'm fully stock.
My girlfriends phone also does this after the update and she is completely stock. I am rooted and on AOKP and haven't seen this yet.
Happening to me too, very annoying
I talked with tech support they made me do a full wipe, I did, and its still occurring. I just called in for a replacement, as I don't know what else it could be.
Probably by design by TMo so they can get you to subscribe to their caller ID app.

This has been happening to me also. Havent really looked into it.
mine did that and fixed it self on its own. weird thing is this happening to alot of people
Use whitepages caller id. It should remind the phone about caller id, and you can uninstall it later if you so choose

+1 on this. It happens to me at random. Sometimes my girlfriends number will show fine and others it will show as unknown. Not just cellphones but she has called me from her work phone and it does has happened the same thing. super annoying!
I've been seeing this alot lately also...I work in tech support and the times I have seen this something has been off on the back end we can see. I saw it was a known problem 2 weeks back but they've since removed it. Instead of moving a couple of things and click a button technically a "trouble ticket" needs to be filed so TMobile's eng team can track down the issue.
I've found no other workaround then calling in..sorry

I'm having the same problem. When I'm connected to wifi with wifi calling on, my caller ID works. But if I'm connected to the cell network with wifi turned off (or out of wifi range) then my caller ID almost never works. It's worked a few times when connected to the cell network but usually not. Have you guys called T-Mobile to let them know this is a widespread issue?
Hey guys to fix this issue, turn on Wi-Fi calling, place a call to the phone. Then change the settings on the Wi-Fi calling to use cellular network and place another call. After that it will stick until you flash another rom
Has nothing to do with wifi for me. Happens both on wifi and on cell.... Should we be sending in for a replacement? Also im on stock odin of ics. Not updated through kies. Very annoying issue i do not understand

MOGA Gamepad

I received my MOGA gamepad for Android. I have put fresh batteries in twice (the gamepad), reset my phone twice (android 4.1.1 Stock Samsung Galaxy Note 2, International). I can get the Gamepad to power on, blue light flashing but my phone will not find the pad. I have tried to do it manually also via settings, Bluetooth, scan. I have other BT device that my phone has found and pairs with fine. I have turned all them off and unpaired them. The pad, as I said, blinks blue for pairing but my phone can not find it. Any advice would be of course appreciated!
are you using the moga pivot app? the gamepad only works with moga pivot app and certain games. u can download a universal driver but its not perfect for non sanctioned games.
Yes I tried to use the app. When that didn't work I tried to do it manually. The pad blinks blue but will not sync. My other BT devices are working fine...perhaps a bad controller? I am going to try it on my wife's GSIII when she gets home later today from work.

Yes...the FOREVER flashing blue light. O/S issue? How so? I am tending towards a hardware issue with the pad. I have not been able to test it on my wifes phone yet, she is stuck at work...LOTS of SNOW coming down...
It might be a hardware issue. Nexus users do not seem to be having a problem. But I did see that a lot to f people with galaxy phones have Bluetooth issues with some devices. It is either one of those problems.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Do you have any links to forums discussing this? I am going more with a hardware issue. I have several BT devices hooked to my N2 (keyboard, mouse, headset, speaker) and all work fine. I emailed MOGA about the issue, have not heard back from them yet.
Well I tried it on my wifes phone this morning via the app and manually...neither way would sync. She has a GSIII (stock). I have not heard back from them via email...guess I will have to try and call them...

No msgs/calls

Ok im having a constant problem with my note 2 . It seems to me that when im at work I am not recieving my msgs or calls when I am on full bars 4g, I only sonetimes get my emails. But today I got home and I automatically received all my missed msgs and voicemails on wifi . Is this normal because its annoying its been happening the last few days . Let me know what you think .
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Were you on the phone for a long time (1hour+) before that happened?
I think there may be a really big bug on the note 2. But it has to be triggered.
To trigger the bug: talk on the phone for 1 hour and 15 minutes or longer. After you hang up, it's like the radio is dead. You will not receive any calls. All calls will go straight to voicemail. To get the radio back, you have to reboot or toggle airplane mode.

The sad part I was not on the phone at all. It was in my pocket the whole time but I constantly kept checking the time thats how I know I had 4g full bars. To be safe im walking in to tmobile and ask to replace my sim card see if thats the problem .

I get this problem every now and then at work. when i went into a t-mobile store they said they were working on the towers in the area
I went through this problem for almost a month straight. I tried everything I could think of. Using wifi calling, factory reset, wakelock apps to prevent sleeping, calling tmobile to reset stuff on their end. Nothing worked. I flashed back to stock and did an exchange. Its been 5 days and no problems.
I was getting no missed call notifications but a voice mail would show up. Then upon sending a text I would get flooded with all the missed texts/voice mails. This happened when I was stock originally and after I flashed jedi x7. For the few days that i was back to stock and got the OTA the phone worked fine but I didn't want to take chances.

Guess I'm stuck with a paperweight... PLEASE HELP!!!!

It all started last night, my phone no longer connects to the Sprint network. When I try to make calls I get this error "The number or code you entered is incorrect" when someone calls me they get the same error. I have flashed a stock image through odin and its back on ICS but I get a SIM card error and the phone refuses to connect to Data. I am at a loss on what could have caused this but my phone is useless at this time and I am pretty pissed. My phone worked great no problem until I attempted to use Google Voice and that is when I lost Data and Voice function. I have removed my phone number from google, disabled GV and even changed my phone number but the problem still exists. If someone could shed some light on my problem I would greatly appreciate it!
PS: Sprint claims its a tower issue but my other devices work just fine.
Try ##72786# in the dialer. It'll force the phone to reactive everything

How is being rooted going to fix this?
I have gone 100% stock all the way to ICS. I then rooted, updated to MD4 including the radios and firmware. I have data now but still no calls or texting. I have edited the MDN and forced reactivation. They guy last night said it was a tower issue but I'm now 35 miles away and I highly doubt the same problem exists here. My girlfriends phone works no problems at all. It has to be an account issue but no one at Sprint cares to help...

Have you ever changed your number on sprint b4? Maybe it's a glitch on their end due to the number change just not settling in yet
I did about 2 years ago... all I can do is wait til they ooen and give them a call. I had to bring my girlfriends phone to work with me so I can check in with the office. Guess ill give them a ring in a few. Its just odd that data works without an issue. ..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If your data is working fine then I have to call it their issue for sure. Which would make sense as data could be working based off of account info rather than your number. Where as if you make a call your actual # comes into play. Could be wrong here just a theory. But best of luck I'll post if I think of something else but I bet u this fixes itself
Ill keep ya posted, thanks for your help.

Glad it's working and for future reference I found this looking on sprints site.
"Looking at the tower nearest you it appears to be performing properly When a tower goes down you will not hear any error message.* The message* is a function of the switch where the wireless system connects to the wire system.** Do you get the message with every number you call or just some numbers?* Can you call (888)-546-0314* That is a sprint test number."

[Q] Note 3 + car audio issues

This seems to be a well documented issue in other device forums, but I was wondering if anyone here figured out how to handle it.
I just switched from Verizon with a note 2, to tmobile with a note 3. I drive a 2012 Subaru STi that has bluetooth connectivity. With my note 2 everytime i got into my car, the phone auto connected no problem.
With the note 3, I have to use the car's menu to select the phone and manually connect... every time i get in the car. From what I can ttell this is an issue with 4.3 android, and was wondering if anyone has found a way to fix it without rooting.
Thanks,
Derek
When you paired the Note3 initially, did you grant full access in the phone? I go through this with almost every android phone I pair after installation of a new head unit. As long as you check the box for remember choice for all and hit OK/Yes, everything works. The iPhone is the only device that seems to make this a fully automated thing.
On another note, the line out audio dock works flawlessly on the note 3 as well. I use it for all my tunes.
I have re paired the device multiple times and have not noticed a box to check for remember the decision. Someone said I need to establish the profiles ...but that only works when in the car and once I disconnect it resets. I had no issues with the note 2 the only change is the note 3. I'll try again and see if I get a box to check. There are no auto connect issues with my beats by dre wireless headphones or galaxy gear watch

If you select the device in the Bluetooth device list on the phone, and press the settings icon, are all the boxes checked?
Yeah and the Un select as soon as I leave the car. What baffles me is that my headphones have no problem connecting. While this is not a deal breaker it really is frustrating me

Right now sitting in my living room they are unchecked. If I go turn my car on and select my phone from my car it connects instantly and both of those profile boxes will check themselves

Ok I guess I am going to throw in the towel on this. I have spent several hours trying to figure out why the hell this phone wont connect and my previous one did.
I found the profile settings under the bluetooth options, but those are always unchecked when not connected, and checked when connected.
I think I am just going to give up as no one seems to know why the note 3 fails at allow auto connect to some devices and the note 2 had no such problems.

Out of curiosity, what OS version were you running on the note2 when it was working as it should be? I wonder if the issue lies in the TouchWizzed 4.3 that is on the note3 as opposed to the 4.1.1/2 variety the note2 started with (I know they have 4.3 now, but perhaps they didn't when you had the device...?).

Good question, I had not thought of that.
I had 4.1/2 originally but also used Beanz's 4.3 touchwiz so that my note2 worked with my galaxy gear.
So even a 4.3touchwiz on the note 2 had no problems.
Is anyone able to have their note 3 auto pair with their car? if it didnt work at all I would be able to move on and accept the loss, but for some reason my headphones auto pair in a flash. Hell I would rather the headphones not work and the car does!

While I don't get to use it often as it only resides in the wife's car (2012 Equinox), I have had no issues w/ bluetooth pairing/use. It's interesting the variability of outcome seen in regards to things like this (and I imagine rather frustrating as well) - I am regrettably at a loss.
Fair Enough. Thanks for trying guys I have given up!
