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
who calls themselves "jugs" 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.

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 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
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.

What are folk using to read or reply to SMS messages on their units?
I did some searching on the old thread and TabletTalk looks exactly what I'm looking for but it unexpectedly crashes whenever I open it on my HU and I'm not sure if there are any logs I can check to see why? Anyone else having that issue?
I also seen that another option is Tasker with a few plugins but does that use 3G to sync the messages? Ideally I want something that does it all over Bluetooth. I'm not really fussed about WhatsApp messages or that, just SMS.
Cheers
I was using mightytext (needed to get apk from my tablet as hu is not supported in google play) and it used mobile data. Added bonus of being able to reply...however can't do so when driving, which negates it a bit
I'm in the middle of setting up tasker/autoremote/autovoice. The plan is for message to be received, sent to hu, seneder read out, yes/no option to read message, yes reads message, no ignores message (possibly third input for reminder in x minutes). Gives a bit more privacy when others are in the car
Autoremote works over any data connection; mobile, wifi, Bluetooth. It's easy enough to transfer messages (sender, body) using autoremote and getting it to appear as a notification on hu (instead of my more complex goal)
Also pushbullet works fine (but might be mobile data only)

I seen mightytext as well actually, didn't like the fact that it was over data as well though and assuming your texts will be stored on a server.
Ahh I didn't realise Autoremote worked over Bluetooh, the tasker/autoremote/autovoice sounds like a great option thanks :good:

I think there is a fallback order to determine which protocol to use (haven't had time to use in a while). I like that it'll use Bluetooth when no data as when I have my wifi obd device connected, it takes over wifi and turns data off
I've been using mysms on my PC and phone for the last few years, an alternative to mightytext. Mysms has annoyed me though so I think I'll be checking out mightytext even though I have a paid sub to mysms. It sometimes leaves a message that the phone might have not had the reception to send in a limbo zone, where you can't resend it for 15-30 minutes until it officially fails. Plus it's freaked me out with display problems sometimes, showing me I sent messages to people not that I intended.
Thanks for all the replies
I had a quick look at tasker and automate but had some trouble getting the URL on the start page and it does seem like a bit of hassle to set up.
I've been happy with the stock rom but I might just flash Malaysk's rom and see if tablet talk works on that.
Sorry to bump an old thread, just thought I'd mention I now have texts from my phone displaying on my HU and I can reply from the HU.
I'm using Tasker, AutoRemote and AutoNotification. It took me a while to get my head around working them, if anyone wants me to export my tasks etc so they can text from their head unit let me know and I'll do so
From my searching before I posted I remembered a few people had asked about it so just thought i'd mention in case anyone wants it. I only have mine set up for SMS which talks to the HU through Bluetooth but I'd imagine its pretty much the same for WhatsApp etc.

Sure, would be interested in seeing how you've done it
Ditto. Avid Tasker user so would lurve to see your tasks ?

I'm at work just now (working hard clearly ) so can only upload my phone profiles/tasks, I'll upload the HU ones later.
I had been testing on my tablet which is why the recipient may be different but I suppose if you wanted to use it you would need to change it anyway. Any questions or suggestions fire away, its been a while since Ive done any programming type of stuff so if there are more efficient ways of doing things I'd be glad to know
For folk with little experience with Tasker, AutoRemote and AutoNotification, here's how it works:
1) On the phone: If I receive a text and my bluetooth is on, set a variable to 1.
2) On the Phone: When the variable equals 1, start the AutoRemote Bluetooth service and send the SMS details to the HU then set the variable back to 0. (Messages are sent one at a time so it sends the recipient's name, then number, time received and text body separate)
3) On the HU: When one message is received, add 1 to a variable to count each message received.
4) On the HU: When all messages are received (the counter equals 4) use the AutoNotification to show a new notification that you have received a text.
6) On the HU: On the notification there is a reply button and a discard button. Discard button runs a task to just close the notification and reset all variables. Reply button runs a task that closes the notification and then opens a tasker scene (a sort of window)
7) On the HU: The scene shows the name and number the SMS is from and a text box to type a reply. Buttons on the scene are an exit button, send button, car button and call button. Exit obviously closes the scene and then clears all variables. Send button will send the details back to my phone, close the scene and clear the variables. The car button I have set to send a template message "I'm driving just now sorry, I'll call you later" then it clears variables and closes scene. I want the call button to call the contact through the built-in bluetooth app on the HU, although I'm still working on this to see if its possible. This is one of the main reasons I went to the hassle of doing this myself rather than use an app since most apps deal with calls too and use your phone mic which I didn't like since my phone will most likely be in my pocket and I have my mic all wired up in my car.
8) On the Phone: The phone waits for the number and text message to be received. I used separate tasks and a counter like before to make sure both parts are received.
9) On the Phone: When the counter equals 2 (both the number and message have been received) then it sends the SMS from the phone, clears all variables and stops the AutoRemote Bluetooth service since I dont want this running all the time.
Hopefully it makes sense but like I said, happy to help other people get it set up I'll get the HU XML's uploaded tonight when I'm home and get some screenshots as well. Its still at very early stages so I may make some tweaks, I've actually yet to test it in my HU but its all working on my tablet so I dont see an issue. I'll get a better feel for how functional it is as well once Ive imported it into my car but I suppose its down to personal preference and people can add or change what they want.
Cheers guys
Here are the HU exported XMLs and a few screenshots taken from my tablet from texts I was sending to myself.
Its at early stages so go easy on me
Nice approach. In autoremote you can send multiple parameters by using =:= between them like " SMSSendTo=:=number=:=body=:=time"
And then access them by %arcomm1 %arcomm2...
That way you can do it a bit more efficient.
I have edited your profiles and tasks. I will upload them later today so you can se how it can be done.
I used Tablet Talk years ago so I had paid for it already. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the HU to connect with my phone with bluetooth or wifi. I just purchased Tasker for the first time and the amount of options is incredible not to mention the plugins. I just don't have the time to learn the ins and outs of it all at this time. I look forward to seeing how this develops. Thanks for sharing your work!
Thanks guys
Yeh I had trouble getting tablet talk working on mine too which is why I decided to do something myself. Glad I did though sice tasker is such a great app, now using it for some other stuff too
By the way, I got a few notifications for messages on my tablet so someone must have used the project and forgot to change the receiptient device. That might be why it's not working you can change it by opening the scenes then editing the buttons that send messages. In the "tap" tab I think it is, click on the tasks that send the messages and make sure you select your device from there. You will have to have added it already though in AutoRemote by clicking on the devices tab, then add and use the URL from the device you are adding. Any other questions fire away, I'm still quite new to tasker though but I'll try my best.
Here are the example on how you can do it a bit more efficiant.
Dont forget to change the receiptient device in the "Send_Tther_Device" task on phone and in "SMS_Reply" scene on hu.
I've been trying out the tasker files you listed nanab. It definitely works but only once in a while. Autoremote seems extremely delayed or never sends the message. I tried forcing the connection between wifi/bt but it seems to not make a difference. Long texts from the HU back to the phone seem to anger it as well. Messages and notification reach the HU well but from HU to phone has issues. I will usually be able to send one and then it stops working. Any suggestions or tweaks I can make?
This has been helping me learn some tasker stuff so thanks again.

can you make a tutorial step by step thank you
At the first try it works for me but after restarting the engine i don't get any message to the car unit anymore
My Phone tolds me that the message was successfully send to the Car Unit but it doesn't get them.
After a lot of reconnecting in Autoremote it works again but only until the car unit was restarted.
Has anybody found out another solution?
