SPV M3100 and Parrot CK3100

I have a SPV M3100 and a Parrot CK3100. It has been working both together without problem, but since I make a hard-reset (for cleaning the DPA from a lot of spare programas and files) every time I start the car, the Parrot connect with the PDA, synchronize contacts and then disconnect. I see my PDA and bluetooth has been disconnected, I suppose that Parrot has disconnected it.
Does anybody know what happen and how to solve this problem?

Hi montarelonf
I have the same setup as you and though I've had problems on and off, its always been related to my phone
In your case however, I would do one of 3 things
1. Delete the pairing from your phone and re-pair it
2. If that does not work, then reset the parrot and delete the pairing from your phone
To reset the parrot, hold down the red and green button together when the engine is on. You will hear "memory erasing" followed by a silence and then finally "please pair device"
Re-pair it, the password is 1234 and see how it goes.
3. If even that does not work, then you might want to see if another phone has the same problem. If not, then you're looking at phone problems where I would maybe reset it completely (hard/factory reset)
If it does have an issue, then its your parrot firmware. what firmware do you have?
Mines 5.10c from what I remember.
Hope this helps!

As said delete all pairings.. does the 3100 have an option to pair with a phone and not syncronise I have the 3400 which has a phone type of Disbable syncro what you then have to do is manually transfer the phone book. The contacts then appear as 1 and not tony/m tony/h tony/w etc.

Yes, on the 3100 pair is as a "SonyEricsson NoSync"
Parrot has a contact sync application on their website, all it does is takes all your Outlook contacts and makes a single VCF file out of them, pop that on your phone and "beam" it to the carkit.
The syncing option on the 3100 (and 3300GPS) is useless and in combination with the phone often hangs, manual sync is the way to go.
Manual Sync is also the only way to sync and be able to use the categories, otherwise the Hermes just sends them all and puts them all individually. Sending the VCF puts the contacts with the correct categories.

Check the Club Nokia web site. I used to have a Nokia phone, and they have a software suite that will allow you to export contacts from Outlook to most of their phones.
http://www.nokiausa.com/A4986252
You can Sync your contacts to your PC, then use the Nokia Suite to copy them from Outlook to your Nokia.
Note that if you don't have access to a Nokia data cable, in many cases you can sync with Infra-Red. I had an old Nokia 6610 and used IR from my laptop to keep my contacts up-to-date.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

just install this, plug into activesync and you can view your phone from your desktop...therefore you can just copy everything to the sim and you should be all set.

Skype and HTC TP2

Hi,
I have installed Skype:
Logs in: OK
See all of my contacts
However all of them have a grey cross next to them...so I cant do anything/speak to people..
On my PC checking simultaneously with the same skype account, there are some of my contacts online..
Can anyone help..
Thanks..

I suspect that you're Skype app is launched but you're not actually logged in. Dig into the menus to see where you can change your status to "online".

Android + Audi 3G MMI Contact Sync

Not sure how many of us here drive an Audi, but figured I'd give this forum a shot. I posted this question in the car forums, but apparently no one uses Android over there, let alone an Evo. I'm not quite sure if this is a phone specific problem or an Android problem.
So Audi's 3G Multimedia Interface (MMI), uses bluetooth to connect/sync my phone contacts from my phone and displays them on my car's Nav screen. From there I can select names, make calls, etc.
The problem is, I believe that the car is pulling "All Contacts" instead of just "My contacts" from Google. This makes it extremely cumbersome as I have an extra 100 contacts to sift through while I'm driving.
However, my phone itself is setup correctly, as I selected "Only contacts with phone numbers".
I realize Audi's management of phone sync may be different from other car makers, but it may also be the similar. Any ideas?

I'm not sure that there's anything you can do. Mine syncs the entire phonebook also (Audi A4). Sorry to break the bad news.

Yea, that's a bit disheartening. Thanks for the reply though, good to know. Who could we contact to try and get this changed? HTC? Google?

I am working on the same issue - temp solution - download just the contacts you want into a vcard format, then put them on an SD card and sync. It is much cleaner, but only allows 100 contacts. It worked better for me with addresses also for the nav.

I work for a competing automaker as a dealership technician. We run into this problem and many others with our wireless to vehicle integration system. The best workaround for your particular problem would be to swap your contact lists. Backup all of your contacts to Google. Then delete all of the contacts you don't want sent to the car. Then redownload your phone book to the car. Next, restore your contact list from Google. And finally, reupload only the contacts you want Google to store to the Google cloud.
I know its a lot of steps, but it should provide you with the solution you require. One other thing to keep in mind, if you have an automated phonebook download option in your vehicles interface, it should be deactivated. If it isn't, there's the distinct possibility that the next automatic update will pull all the contacts you just eliminated.

Same issue, using SD instead
I don't know if you found a solution. I am facing the exact same issue on Audi MMI with Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I have been searching up and down and found no clean solution. I am using the SD import workaround. I re-paired my phone and denied the phonebook access so MMI can't download from my phone.

I've got a 2012 S4 and just bought the Galaxy S4 (my first android phone, switched from iphone5) and i had the exact same problem. i spent the first two days of ownership of the GS4 googling my heart out trying to figure out WTF.
I have found a permanent solution that works for me but, may not work for you all. reason i say that is, if you rely on google or other accounts to manage your contacts, this will not work for you. the problem is gmail/google, by default any and all emails you send/receive are stored as "contacts" in google. regardless of what settings you have on your phone, when you sync your contacts with audi MMI, it pulls all contacts from both phone and google (possibly other email accounts you have syncing to your phone).
what i did was...
1) go into my google accounts (i have two) and went into the settings and told google that i would "manually add" contacts.
2) i then deleted all contacts from all my google accounts.
3) then i turned contact sync "on" on the phone and synced the phone with google.
4) turned contact sync back off.
the following is within the audi MMI... (the audi MMI does NOT store the contacts synced with your phone, it refreshes the contact list every time it connects to the phone, this is why you cannot access the list immediately after ignition is on).
1) unpaired the phone from MMI.
2) deleted all profiles within the NAME/DIRECTORY menu in MMI (if you get to a point where it asks you for your ID PIN (something along those lines), you will need to enter the last 7 digits of your VIN number.
3) i then repaired the phone, and when the prompt on the phone popped up asking for permission to access contacts, clicked yes and selected to not be prompted again.
after it redownloaded the directory from the phone, only contacts i add to the phone showed up.
WARNING, by deleting the profiles, you will also delete any manually added addresses/locations stored from the MMI as well, i personally can live with this.

So my phonebook on the car is a mess..
Why is Android doing this ?
I have also try filling on my phone

THen it sync "Iosu, home "
But with this my outlook phone book is a mess..
It's there a way to configure this correctly ?
Btw, windows mobile, windows phone 7, sync correctly ...
Thank you

Hi again..
Anyone has an idea how to fix this?
Thank you

Your phone has the option to display either way. I assume your car audio must also have this option. What does the manual for the car audio say about it?

I check that already, it does not have an option, it's an Audi MMI.
Yes the phone has the option but it does not respect the option when it sync with the car.
No problem with Nokia and winmo
I think this is a problem with android..
Thank you for your help
