[Q] BMW iDrive Messages (E-mail) - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys - anyone here using a G4 with BMW iDrive (current NBT version)? If so are you able to get e-mails w/ the G4? So far, the best I can do is get text messages but my Exchange e-mail doesn't show up. The G4 bluetooth option to access messages is on, but not sure if it applies to e-mails. This worked perfectly w/ my Z2 (which is only running Android 5.0.2).
This is a '15 228i with Tech package & enhanced bluetooth / usb.
Any ideas? Thanks.

OK it looks like LG devices in general (G2, G3) don't support viewing e-mail via iDrive. Presumably, the G4 would have the same issue.

Not possible.

Where can you turn on the option for Bluetooth to access messages?I don't see it in my Bluetooth settings. Thanks.

I guess you'd need to be connected to the car first, then on the G4 go to BT settings of the connected device.

Hmmm, mine only shows Call Audio and Media Audio. Maybe AT&T took it out?

Your car may not support it. It is there in the BT options for the connection in the ATT version if the car can do it.

Car dash shows messaging button and it worked on my old S5 Active.

Did you deny permission to messages when you set up the connection by chance?

No, even repaired them this morning. Only ask for call history and phonebook.

Strange. I actually have the opposite problem. For whatever reason LG doesn't offer the option to permanently deny messages permissions. It was like that on the G3 and now the G4, so even though I deny permission to messaging on the initial setup it automatically allows it every time after that and I have to go in and manually turn off message access every time I get in the car. Happens on all 3 of our vehicles and the 2 we had when we had G3s. At least with the G3 root was available and I could use AppOps to block bluetooth MAP access. One more reason my G4 is just lying on my desk unused until root (hopefully) becomes available :/

This is all I get. https://goo.gl/photos/ZYgoqZ8UGDB7Hnt16

Downloaded Bluetooth Auto Connect. One setting shows profiles. No MAP listed.....great! https://goo.gl/photos/DLk5YDxduNG2PDcX9

Ford SYNC Services & Droid Incredible

Does anyone else have issues using the Ford SYNC Services with their Droid? Everything pairs fine and I can make and receive calls as well as stream music via BT. However, if I try to use their "services" option to check traffic or get directions it will dial in and then when I get to a point where it tries to locate me but just freezes and never completes the task.
Both my wife and I have only had this issue once we bought the Incredible. Our previous phones were the Palm Pre and it never had this issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

I just logged in to post this same issue. So yes I am having the exact same issue. I'm heading over to syncmyride.com to see if there is anything there.
This may be related to limitations with the Bluetooth implementation on the Incredible. I had problems (and crashes) trying to use my Incredible with a Bluetooth GPS device. When I called HTC support, they told me that HTC can only recommend connecting to Bluetooth headsets.
Here is a thread (somewhat technical) which supports the idea that HTC has incomplete Bluetooth support on the Incredible http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/91/t/2336.aspx.
If everyone who has Bluetooth issues takes the time to call HTC support (866-449-8358 in US/Canada) and file a complaint on the issue, maybe this will eventually be fixed.

Thanks, I will be calling for sure. I had no issues with previous phones, including non-rooted and rooted Eris with my Alpine BT radio. Now I've had hit or miss connections to the radio, and have even had the radio power off when calls come in. Something is not quite right.

Will definitely continue to call. However, on a side note its not a BT issue b/c I can call straight from my phone as well even if its not paired via BT and I still get the same issues. Seems like many are having tons of q's about the Incredible b/c call waiting times are extremely long.
Finally got through to someone at HTC. No progress there. The claim that its an issue the different companies. Microsoft vs Android. HTC believes that android has blocked MS from using the location features. I do not agree with this and am quite dissatisfied with HTC customer support. I will keep on looking into this issue and hopefully find a solution
Found a Solution
I finally found a solution. This is what I did to get SYNC working:
1: Goto phone settings
2: Select Wireless & networks
3: select BT Settings
4: Select Advance Settings
5:Make sure FTP Server is checked
Now you will be able to use Vehicle health report and other SYNC Services such as Directions, Traffic, etc...
Hope this helps
km2010, That's great. I'll be trying it on the drive home tonight. FTP!?! Why would you even think of trying that?
I know sounds crazy! Lol I figured since SYNC works via voice over data I thought maybe if I enable ftp maybe it will be able to send whatever info is needed. So far no problems and everything is working wonderfully.
It didn't work for me Maybe it's a combination of settings. I tried GPS on and off, but neither made any difference. I'll keep trying.
On my phone I have use wireless network and gps enabled. Also before doing all of this I did a master reset with SYNC and I unpaired/removed SYNC from the BT settings of the Incredible. That way I was able to establish a fresh connection with our vehicle and the Incredible. Hope this helps
It might... I'll try this weekend.
Well I tried it all... Deleted pairing from SYNC, reset the phone, turned on FTP and GPS, paired the phone. And still nothing.
I doubt the GPS setting has anything to do with anything. My old WinMo did not have GPS and it worked perfectly with SYNC. Still it's wierd that yours works and mine doesn't. Could it be the OTA for the phone (I installed it) or updates to SYNC - don't know if there are any.
Our sync is version 3.1. Are you using Google voice. If so the number u set is some 760 area code number.... other than that not sure b/c but my Incredible & my wife's Incredible worked.
not using GV. It dials the 800# fine, it dies when trying to get the vehicle location. Which is very odd! My old phone did NOT have GPS and SYNC worked flawlessly. Even odder - now I can get traffic or directions to work once in every 10 attempts, and never back to back.
I have a new 2010 F-150 and am having the same problem with the HTC Incredible. Ford's solution - use another phone for my free 3 year trial of Traffic.
There must be a fix... hopefully when Froyo hits, this will be resolved!

Our vehicle is a 2010 as well. Have you tried:
1: Remove and unpair Sync in the Incredible's settings
2. Delete all devices from your vehicle by going to BT Setting on you Truck's stereo and select delete all
3. Then turn BT off on your phone
4. Turn BT back on on you phone
5. Make sure Sync in not listed as an added device, if it is still listed try to unpair/remove it until it is no longer listed as an added device.
6. If SYN has been successfully unpaired and deleted from the phone, then Goto phone settings Select Wireless & networks, then select BT Settings, Select Advance Settings, and Make sure FTP Server is checked
7. Repair the phone to you Truck and it should work.
Now you will be able to use Vehicle health report and other SYNC Services such as Directions, Traffic, etc... This worked for both my Incredible and my wife's Incredible. Our friends who tried this had success as well.
Hope this helps

I have tried ALL these steps, however not it this specific order. I have ran a health report as well as been able to occasionally receive directions (3 times) but it has never been on a consistent basis.
I will try these steps tonight, thank you for your time and advice - its much appreciated.
Jon
Not entirely sure but it may have to be in exact order. At least that's how I got it working.

uk 4.2.2
i read i'm not only one but i didn't find solution
So I got the N-5120 LTE version, running Android 4.1.2., a couple of weeks ago. I'm very pleased with this versatile tablet. I intended to use this with Skype Out. Making Skype to Skype calls works fine through a BT headset. However when using Skype Out, calls are initiated through the headset, but as soon as they start, they are then switched over to the phones earspeaker. The loudspeaker function is not available for Skype Out.
Both the BT and the Speaker Phone functions are turned on/off only through Samsung's sofware, it seems, and then only once the call has started.
I can tell I'm not the only one with this challenge. That said, since there are so few complaining about this here I'm wondering if there are fixes?

I did. This is apparently a common problem among Note users on the Skype forum, and according to them, this appeared with the latest version of Skype. What to do?
1. Uninstall Skype through the Play store, as usual.
2. In the Google Play store, click on the uppermost left hand side corner, choose my apps, and unclick auto updating. Otherwise Skype will auto update to the new version again... BTW you will henceforth have to update all your apps manually.
3. On your unit, go to Settings, Security (the padlock symbol) and allow unknown sources of programs, outside of the Play store
4. Go here http://skype.en.uptodown.com/android/download/44494 and install the older version: Skype 3.2.06673
5. Go back to the Security, and deselect unknown sources if you want to lock down your device again.
This enabled me to make Skype Out calls with both headset and speakers. It's not entirely fool proof, as sometimes it starts on the speakers before handing over to the headset, but at least it works.

Let us know how it went. BTW, please go to Skype and assist in filing an Android Issue on
http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/How-to-create-a-good-Android-issue-report/td-p/211384
So v. 3.2.0.6673 was probably a blessing in disguise. Skype on Android via the loudspeaker or BT continues erratic behavior, although it's better than v. 4.5.. from that sspect I discovered on here that a bug in v 3.2.0.6673 allows an attacker to bypass the lock screen on your Android device.*

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.

Bluetooth contacts sync problem (KGL2)

I'm trying to sync my OnePlus One with my KGL2 unit (MK3188 1024x600 variant).
It connects easily, but when I'm trying to sync my phone contacts with the system, I am just getting an endless moving circle, and nothing ever syncs.
Also, incoming phone calls are not identified by contact details.
Be glad for any advise hot to resolve that issue.
Wish i knew the answer to this. My unit is now showing all of my Google account contacts, not my phone contacts.
Overall the phone and Bluetooth features of these units are terrible.

Firstly, you can check if your phone is connected with your unit successfully.
If connected well, you can download your phone contacts to the unit. (I have tried several phones on my Pumpkin head unit and all successfully)
If failed, you can try another phone to see if this function can work normally.

The phone is connected successfully with the unit - I am able to make calls via BT.
Check it with another phone = same results.
The Google contacts (which are actually equal to the phone contacts) ares synced with the unit.
Still, not able to sync contacts between the phone and the unit, and whats worse, no caller ID on the unit, only the caller number.
How can I download my phone contacts to the unit?

Perhaps the Bluetooth module of your phone is not compatible with this unit. Or you can ask for helps from the seller.

If connected well, you can download your phone contacts to the unit. (I have tried several phones on my Pumpkin head unit and all successfully)
If failed, you can try another phone to see if this function can work normally.

Perhaps the Bluetooth module of your phone is not compatible with this unit. Or you can ask for helps from the seller.

I am working with the OnePlus One, and also with Samsung Galaxy S5, both weren't able to sync.
Maybe something is wrong with the BT unit itself.
The seller is sending me a replacement BT unit, but I am not sure how am I gonna replace it myself, since I have no electrical engineering background.
I was hoping for a software based solution.
I have the same problem. I am using oneplus 2. I will try tomorrow the zuk z1.

I'm trying to sync my OnePlus One with my KGL2 unit (MK3188 1024x600 variant).
It connects easily, but when I'm trying to sync my phone contacts with the system, I am just getting an endless moving circle, and nothing ever syncs.
Also, incoming phone calls are not identified by contact details.
Be glad for any advise hot to resolve that issue.

Did you search for an answer? It's been up here several times. Go to Xposed installer/modules/remove the thick from XposedMtcBT and reset.
Now your phones will sync.

Of course I made a search before posting.
The thing is that Xposed was not even activated on my device, so naturally nothing to thick/unthick.
Even tried to activate Xposed and so.. still can't sync.
I have KGL and OPO with oxygen is everything is good here
I had the same problem. And maybe it is too obvious. settings --> bluetooth --> settings icon CAR KIT --> check contact sharing. On my Nexus 5 it was unchecked by default.
On recent Marshmallow version it seems to be working perfect with no needed tweaking.

Question Bluetooth call problem

Tell me please
Skoda car has music Bolero MIB 3 (VAG regular), which works just fine with a Motorola phone via bluetooth, you can both make and receive calls to the car. When my Sony 10 III is connected via Bluetooth, everything seems to be OK at first - contacts are loaded into Bolero, the signal level is visible, etc. ... But I can make a call by selecting a subscriber on the Bolero screen, only ONE time. With all the following attempts to call - "connection setup error". Only restarting the phone helps, after rebooting you can make one call again.
Where to dig? I really want to conveniently call from the car ... All available settings have been tried. Change phone?
phone: Sony 10III, XQ-BT52, 62.0.A.3.137
Make sure all power management is disabled.
Try a network reset.
Try loaded factory app version for involved apps or that failing see if any updates are available.
If you did any major OTA firmware updates recently without doing a factory reset... it's time to do so.
I found out that when the phone starts making a call, its bluetooth turns off and the connection with the car is broken.
how to fix it?

Did you try what I suggested above?
Try clearing cache or data in associated apps but be very careful about clearing data in the phone apps. Normally this isn't required.
