hi,
i made i bluetooth pairing between my desire and my car. unfortunatelly it has synced my facebook contacts, too, so i have a lot of double accounts listet in my car. how can i turn off syncing facebook accounts to my car, because they have almost all only email addresses, and i don't want to write emails in my car.
How did you manage to sync your Desire? I have an A6 (2006 model) and I cannot get a pairing. I have read that Android does not support the correct rSAP bluetooth protocol, so pairing in theory should not be possible. Is yours a new car, or does Audi (US) install different software?
I am in the UK and have 2006 Audi A6, Desire syncs perfectly with Bluetooth in the car.

Same on my side... I got a A4 (2008 B8) and wasn't able to use the rSAP, just like classic handset. Would be great if you could give us a little more infos on how you did it!

That's very encouraging! Any tips on how you got it to work? Can you possibly describe the sequence you used to get it paired up - for instance did you have to clear the car phone book menmory, or any stuff like that? Thanks in advance.
2008 B8 A4 as well, and connects like a charm...
Did nothing special, except enable discover mode on desire, and search for phone in the MMI...
Is you MMI updated completely?
2009 Q7 and contacts, call lists etc sync fine. Just set it up by browsing for the MMI on the phone within 1 minute of powering up the MMI.
One problem though, the Desire can take several minutes to re-connect if it's not on (ie screen on) when the MMI is next enabled. If it is on it connects at once.
My wifes Nokia connects at once despite being in standby. Anyone else seen this and have a fix?
Cheers

In terms of connecting, I can't add much more - on the phone search for Bluetooth devices, and you then are talked through the pairing.
Yes I have the same quirk that phone pairs immediately if the screen is on, if the screen is off there can be either a delayed connection or no connection at all
I can pair and use it as a regular handset... (Audi A4 B8 2008) On my MMI it's showing the phone icon and the signal icon. What I'm looking for is the SIM icon, which means that rSAP is working and that the roof antenna took over the phone antenna.
With the SIM icon (rSAP connected) you have sms notification appearing on the MMI, you can even read them on the screen..
Do you guys have this SIM icon appearing?
I don't think my 2006 Audi A6 MMI has that functionality. If you have a fixed phone in the car, you can read SMS, but not I think with any paired phone?
I think my problem may be the security code - it doesn't respond to 0000 nor 1234, so I suspect I'll have to get a dealer to extract the code for me. My phone is recognising the Audi "handset" but won't pair with it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the code without having to visit a dealer?
On my 2009 A6 there is an option to change the security code: select Tel, Setup on the car AV system then change the code to whatever you wish.
first pairing with the car should happen within a few minutes of the car being switched on, I can't remember whether it's two or five.
Hope this helps

I agree with Andrew, you set the Bluetooth pairing code in the MMI system - you can change it to whatever you like
I seem to recall that I had to change PIN to get it to pair with my new phone, but as said above you can do this through the MMI Phone Settings (one of the few things you can do )
Watch the time out though on the MMI BT I think it might even be as short as a minute!
Thanks for all the replies - you have to have the old code to allow you to change to a new one, and it's the old one that I think is holding everything up. It's a low priority at the moment, but I'll get round to asking a dealer to sort it out for me. then I can try again. Good to know that it does work though!
Hi all,
I've spent some time to investigate about Bluetooth status on Windows Phone 7 using DllImport approach for some applications I'm developing.
This is a simple chat app between a WP7 device and a counterpart (i.e a PC, another WP7 device, ...) using bluetooth serial communication.
I tried this app by connect my WP7 device to a PC and to another WP7 device.
It permits to exchange text messages between each side, like a classic chat program.
Tested WP7 devices (LG Optimus 7, Nokia Lumia 800 and HTC Mondrian) are all dev-unloked.
Application main page have the following possible actions:
- Connect to a remote device (if selected it will open a new page where to choose previously paired device or to find new one)
- Act as server (if selected it creates a new serial connection using device port 10 and it will listen for new incoming connection from remote device)
- Disconnect (to stop a connection towards remote device, or to stop server mode)
- Send (it will be enable only when connected as client or server. If selected will send your message to counterpart).
- Settings (if selected it will open a new page where to set application option)
Note: at the moment there is no automatic notification about connection down event.
Thanks to Heathcliff74 and fiinix for their works on WP7
Note: This is a simple project to verify if all core procedures (connection open and close, send and receive messages, ...) are working in the right way.
Ciao
P.S 1: if you eant to test the app between WP7 device and a PC use this procedure:
- Start Bluetooth on WP7 device
- From PC search for WP7 device and pair it
- Start BlueChat on WP7 device in server mode
- From PC search for Device exported services: you'd see a SPP (AUX3) option, if yes select it and then PC will create a new local COM Port
- Open a Putty using this COM Port and start to write to WP7 device!
P.S. 2: if you eant to communicate between 2 WP7 devices:
- On device 1 go to bluetooth settings page and activate it (this is important because only when we are in this page the device is discoverable from outside)
- On device 2 open BlueChat and choose "Connect" button. In the "Connect To" page choose "Search" option and in some seconds you'd see device 1
- Select device 1 form the list. Before select "Done" button, on device 2 open BlueChat and starts it in Server mode
- Then on device 1 select "Done" button and the devices will be connected
- Now you can exchange data between the two devices
nice work!
Very cool! Would you mind sharing the source code? I assume it's done using the standard WinCE Bluetooth APIs, but I'd like to see how you made it work exactly as that may enable writing a BT File Transfer app that doesn't rely on full-unlock the way the current one does.

Project source code will be shared when it will be completed and fully functional (Actually it is finished at 60-70%)
I'm using a mix between Windows Mobile/Windows CE/Windows Embedded APIs.
This is only a test project to verify base bluetooth routines on multiple WP7 devices.
Main goal is transmit and receive file using OPP (Obex Object Push Profile) without the constraints of a Fully unlock device.
In this development phase, WP7 device can receive file through OPP but there are some problems on file trasmission.
In addition WP7 devices don't pair another phone device (for example pair a WP7 with an Android), and this requires efforts on pairing phase also.
I would like to suggest you something to send files...i'm bit a developer, i don't know even if it's possible...just tell me where i am failing with my theory
If, within your app, you decode a file in hexadecimal code to text, like this,
00 00 00 00 00 00 00
To
00000000000000 and injecting a string that sets nme and extension like
*namefile**.rar*00000000000000
And then you send this to an other WP with your app as a text that will decode the text to a file...
Is this possible? It only have the bug that doesn't work with other devices right but is possible?

Ciao Davide,
the problem is in connection establishment between WP7 devices.
When they are connected, files will be exchanged using OPP rules so no problem on it.
As said in previous post, I can send to my WP7 device an image and save it into Media Hub (or where I want)
Unfortunately connection management on WP7 is not so comfortable and require some time to be deeply understood...
Yes i had misunderstood thanks to have cleared it

It seems to be sending an extra character "C" sometimes when you start the chat from the server. It works on Samsung Focus and tested with Lumia 800 also.
We have a review up on wpxbox.com
Source code
Hi,
Would it be possible to post your source code so that we can try some implementations and see if we can push things along further.
I know you said you'd try to tidy it up before you post the code but maybe you've got too busy to do this. Any code or even your entire VS solution/project would be appreciated.
Also, has anyone had this working on an HTC Titan (1)?
Thank you.

How do you use NFC exactly????
kreindler said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NFC - near field communication is a means to receive or transmit data over a very short distance.
If you turn on your NFC and search your neighbourhood you will likely see posters,boards,bus stops with NFC tags on them - hold the back of your phone up to a tag (whilst phone is switched on and unlocked) and you will receive something from the tag.
Depending on the NFC tag you scanned you will get a variety of results - for example scanning an NFC tag at a bus stop usually opens up your web browser and takes you straight to the correct webpage detailing when the next buses are due at your stop.
If you know someone who also has an NFC enabled phone then you can hold both phones together (back to back) and share contacts,web sites and various other things nearly instantly.
You are also able to buy your own 'blank' NFC tags and configure them yourself with an assortment of apps from the play store - i personally use 'NFC Task Launcher'
I suggest hitting YouTube for a more indepth explanation but i hope this outline will help you
My question is in particular what app do I need for "reading" the nfc tags?? I am located in Romania, and here except the biometric passport and some credit cards, I don't know about any nfc tags I could scan.....
But let's take the touching phones method- do I need an app for that or just touch the phones together and you'll get a pop up menu with what 2 share or what 2 do??
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
In your settings menu you should have an option to turn NFC on. Should be in the same menu as 'airplane mode' etc.
Once you have it turned on then no additional application is needed for reading tags.
You will need a separate application (like the one I mentioned above) to write your own NFC tags.
If you place two NFC enabled phones back just to back then the sender touches his screen and the receiver gets data from them. You can't choose what you receive but obviously the sender can choose what to send.
Though sometimes you can't send exactly what you want.
Your best option is to 'trial and error' NFC. Just sit down with a friend and spend an hour finding out what works exactly and to what extent.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Tried to "read" one of my friends biometric passport. Didn't work directly as the passport tag was (how I found out a lil later) encrypted.
So you must download from the market nfc taginfo. Then go to menu an select passport scan. You'll be required to type the passport nr, date of birth and expiry date. Then place the passport tag under your phone, give it about 20 seconds, and there you have it, passport photo and all the information.
NOTE: you can use any other app for that, but for passport in particular it MUST have the option to introduce some passport info, because of the tag being encrypted. At least electronic (biometric) passports from Romania are encrypted.
I am quite curious how this can be used with credit cards "touch to pay"... Can u somehow create like a kind of wallet in your phone and store the credit cards and just touch your phone with the special POS for those cards and pay? Anybody tried or read smthing about it?
I think it could be done, but I think one could forsee the possible security issues that might appear (eg your phone gets lost).

Dear Reader,
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch.
NFC is a wireless technology with set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters. Present and anticipated applications include contact-less transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as WiFi. Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip, called a "tag".
---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------
Dear Reader,
NFC requires a distance of 4 cm or less for communication. NFC operates at 13.56?MHz on ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, ISO 18092 etc. air interface and at rates of 106kbit/s, 212kbit/s and 424kbit/s, and higher rates are expected in the future. NFC has two modes of operation: Active and Passive.
In Active mode, both NFC devices generate their own radio fields to transmit data.
In Passive mode, one device generates radio field while the other uses load modulation to transfer the data.
NFC builds upon RFID systems by allowing two-way communication between endpoints, where earlier systems such as contact-less:good: smart cards were one-way only. Since unpowered NFC "tags" can also be read by NFC devices, it is also capable of replacing earlier one-way applications. A remarkably diverse and ever-expanding universe of NFC use cases is being explored and brought to market all around the world. Today, both research organizations and commercial enterprises are putting NFC to work in widely diverse areas.
---------- Post added at 05:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------
Dear Reader,
NFC Tags:
These are small RFID chips and passive devices. Any NFC enabled active device can be used to communicate with it. These are manufactured by different companies and can have different sizes, shapes (circular and square) and format (paper sticker, anti metal, card format, key fob, tokens, and inlays). NFC Forum has standardized NFC tags into following four categories to cater for the broadest possible range of applications and device capabilities:
Type 1 is based on ISO 14443 A and was initially available exclusively from Innovision Research & Technology (Topaz™). Broadcom bought this company and now type 1 tags are not easily available. It has a 96-byte memory capacity, which makes it a very cost-efficient tag for a wide range of NFC applications
Type 2 is also based on ISO 14443 A and is currently exclusively available from NXP’s Mifare Technology (MIFARE Ultralight & Mifare Ultralight C). Mifare Ultralight has 48 bytes of user memory while Mifare Ultralight C has 132 bytes of user memory. These are widely used NFC tags across the globe and are available at quite low price.
Type 3 is based on FeliCa technology and is currently exclusively available from Sony. It has a larger memory (currently 2kbyte) and operates at a higher data rate (212kbit/s), which means it is suitable for more complex applications
Type 4 is fully compatible with ISO 14443A/B and is available from a number of manufacturers, including Philips (typical product example is MIFARE DESFire). It offers large memory-addressing capability with read speeds of between 106kbit/s and 424kbit/s – making it suitable for multiple applications.
Thx for the info where do I find NFC tags and how much do they cost?? Any user for a usefull low cost daily application of the technology???

Hi,
I need to find out how to read the Unique NFC ID in smart phones.
Why?
We have an app. this app must identify the unique NFC ID, in order to use the NFC as an identification of the user. Probably quit similar to using the NFC in your phone to open doors? It is just very important that it is the unique ID and not just a info in the NFC.
Our reader will only read the unique ID.
The best solution
Seen from a users point of view, the best solution would be as this:
1. The user pushes an “Identify NFC button” in our app.
2. The app will send a code to the NFC device in the phone and receive the unique ID.
3. Next time the user swipe the phone at one of our NFC readers – the phone/user will be identified.
Any good advice/help?
Best regards
The NFC chip changes the UID with every read, unless it is in card emulation mode.
There is a thread somewhere here that may have the info you want.
Beamed from my Grouper
I have a type of nfc tag that it is very small (about 1*1cm). ACR122U can read its ATR just: 3B 8C 80 01 50 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 22 00 10 51 C1 because it connect and disconnect of reader quickly and repeatedly. so I can't test APDU commands on it. of course I have this problem with any nfc mobile phone also, reader detect it for one 1second just and then after 1second it disconnect of tag/ nfc mobile. this process repeat again and again.
sorry for my english!
