Hi,
my X10i synchronises with the parrot Ck3100 but the listing is not what I was used to with my previous phones. For each telephone number of a person I have a new entry in the list in stead of only the name of the person and after clicking on it, the list of number belonging to that person.
I tried all groups separately and common, also enabling google using "my location".
I don't know if the problem is related to the parrot or to the X10i but because my previous phones didn't had this I assume it is related to a setting of the X10i?
Does anybody experience the same or has a solution for it?
Nobody who has the same problem?
For those who are interested:
If I switch bluetooth on and keep the display alive for about a minute it displays the list of people in the right way. If I then connect again in standby mode (switching on/off of parrot and phone in standby) it displays the the list of people in the wrong way....

My car (Peugeot 307CC) has built-in Bluetooth, and it works pretty good with the Touch HD.
My previous phone was the original Touch and besides the phonebook it also gave the option of seeing the recent calls (outgoing/incoming) with the HD I only get the phonebook.
It doesn't bother me very much but that call list was handy for not having to scroll through my whole phonebook.
Did I miss a parameter (that was not on the original Touch) somewhere?
a little update ...
strange, this morning I suddenly had the "Call List" and it worked, ... for 1 call, after that again only the phone book was available
I have something similar too, using a FISCON unit in my Touareg where the Provider network name is not being exchanged, however the signal strength is. After taking a call, all of a sudden the network name is visible on the headunit.
Looks to me like some software issue, as when looking into the BT profiles all actually are there to allow exchange of network names and such.
Did a hard reset last week and now again I only have the phonebook.
I'm not even looking at the battery meter/network provider/signal strength because those are very irregular (but that was the case with my old original Touch too)
I can have all three, some or none and then after a call it changes again but they're not so important, only having the phonebook does make things more difficult (plus that it worked with the original Touch makes it even more painful)
I can confirm your problem with my Audi
sometimes it works,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see all contacts,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see the calls,
sometimes not,
the last two days it was working fine
some days before also the bluetooth connection drops
AND I have had none of these problems with orbit²
I have the Pioneer DEH-P800BT head unit and I don't get any of the problems mentioned above. The problem that I do get from time to time is that the call answer button on the head unit doesn't work, so I have to press the answer button on the phone, then it continues to work as it should, hands free through the stereo.
No problems with my Sony MEX BT 2500 head unit
I can receive and make calls, and do A2DP streaming as well.
This head unit has no call list/contact features.
no problems with my carkit. Phone book works fine. I have an Opel Zafira
The only problem I have is the bluetooth connection. It droppes after a while. Saterday i flashed to dutty's Rom. For so far i can see it, the problem is solved.
Grz
Found it, apparently the car can't handle too many items in the last calls list, I had a lot more than 100 items in that recent call list, when I erased them and had a few calls the list came back, so I'll be having a look for when it disappears again and then clean out the list again ...
So nothing wrong with the phone's Bluetooth, the car just can't handle it
I just switched to a Galaxy S3 from an Desire HD. Overall I'm not very happy.
One issue that is turning into a deal breaker is the BT connection with the car. I have been unable to make the S3 connect automatically with my Nissan Connect and it is a laborious process to establish a full phone and media connection.
This is what happens,
The pairing process goes well I get a a full media and phone connection. After about 30 secs the connection is dropped.
I reestablish the connection manually and I only get media audio no phone. I cancel the connection manually and reestablish the connection and there I get both media and phone audio.
If I turn off the car and turn it on again I have to go through the whole manual connection sequence again, without the pairing.
I have installed A2DP Volume app but it did not fix the problem.
This is very frustrating since my Desire HD worked flawlessly when connecting to the car.
Anyone have any tips or experiencing similar problems?
this exactly happens to me as well. i was on the stock XALE8, but upgraded to ALF5 and nothing new. this is frustrating because it happens to my car, and multiple bluetooth headsets.
Bluetooth working fine for me and my Fiat

Right I might know the answer to this as I had the same problem as few weeks ago.
If you have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp or anything like this best thing is to get rid of them if you don't want to, go to your accounts and sync on your phone and untick the sync with contacts on any of the apps you have installed.
Then go to call log and clear your call history.
Delete the bluetooth pairing turn the phone off and back on, repair with the car, mine has worked perfectly since I did this.

So from what you describe the problem lies in the syncing of the phone contacts with the car contacts. Maybe since it also tries to sync the FB contacts there is something in the format there that it does not recognize and it gets hung up.
Will need to try different sync configurations to see what happens.

I've got the same problem with my S3 not syncing with my car kit. The bluetooth is all paired but the car still says no phone. Tried unpairing and just about everything else with no luck at all. Any other thoughts please?
Mine works fine with the Toyota Touch & Go thingy. I only sync contacts from my Google account to the phone though, I don't bother with the ones from FB, etc

Hi there. Following up on this thread, I've had a similar issue with the miss's Galaxy S3 mini (android 4.1) and the Nissan Connect System on her Juke. It also happened with a HTC Status (ChaCha, android 2.3), so I can't narrow it down to a particular Android version or phone manufacturer. What happened was, both devices paired well with Nissan Connect, but after a short while, the system crashed completely (the cars, not the phone) :s. It would restart automatically, but just to crash again after re-pairing. With older devices, this issue never occurred.
After reading Motogp1s answer, I decided to give it a shot. Unpaired all devices, cleared the system on the nissan. On the S3 mini cleared the call history, and disabled all contact sync from facebook, google, etc. Re-paired the device, disabling the multimedia functions (she just wants the phone features) on the paired device settings (NISSAN CONNECT on the S3). Refused to give permission tho the car to retrieve call and contact information. At this point, the bluetooth connection would work without a glitch, never had a crash or problem again.
Like RaulTT said, the problem seems to be in the amount of information Android devices keep on their contact list (and can also be related to the amount of contacts, or the multimedia features in the case of Android 4). But given the sweetness of having your contacts also on the car, I think the best approach is to keep a short list of your most important contacts on the SIM card, and try to sync only that list. If you must go with the phone's list, you should indeed disable all contact sync from 3rd apps, plus limit the size of your contact list, and also be aware for special characters on the contacts names (in case of latin languages, p.e).
Thanks for the help.
Hi everyone - I actually don't know who else to ask but this issue has been driving me mental for the last couple of months. After days and nights of investigating and looking through various forums and articles, I think I can find (or try at least) the words to describe my problem more...technically))
So OK, first off the device is Huawei Ascend G510-0100 running KitKat under the Cyanogenmod platform but the issue was already present with the factory's 4.1 ROM. I thought rooting the phone, installing just brand-new everything and having a bloatware/clutter-free Android OS would rectify all the causes of this nightmare but no. I'm not the only one with this problem: Google-search the issue and you'll find numerous forum threads where users seek for a solution to this "software loophole" as well as one of my friends (Galaxy S2) and another one with the HTC One X+ so I rule out my phone's model, OS version or just my device being faulty from the list of potential causes.
So - every time I turn my WiFi off on purpose or when I go out of my house (where logically my phone looses home's wireless signal) - the location services and the app synchronization processes stumble, mess up, run into and furthermore cause internal system mess-ups from such "unexpected" losts of internet. After that I can't make a phone call, send SMS or run USSD codes (checking credit balance etc) but I can still receive calls and texts - basically I fail to reach my cellular services but the service can still reach me. Turning Airplane Mode on and then off or simply restarting the phone altogether temporary fixes the cellular problem until the next time the internet becomes unreachable to Play Services. I tried turning location and sync off, tried different location/sync options...I wish I could disable Play Services but then I wouldn't be able to use the Play Store - | tried messing around with probably every single option available and possible but the Play Services still failed me and.......I honestly don't know what am I missing and where to look next
Edit: (I never use the mobile data btw)
Any suggestions? Anybody? I'm hopeless at this point :crying:
Thank you all...

Anyone? Please...
Hi all.
I don't know If you all know this, but I found a very big bug (or mistake) from Samsung.
I was a bit concerned about being stolen,robbed, or simply forget where the watch is.
So I looked up an app to locate Gear S by its GPS on mobile (mine is Galaxy S5) , and I have found nothing.
(apps like Cerberus, "find my mobile" from Samsung, etc... for Gear S)
So I tried Gear Manager app.
There's "Find my gear" option, you can find the watch If it is bluetooth thetered.
On "Find my gear" menu, you can see "Turn On Share Location".
To turn it on, you need to enable GPS on your mobile. Once it's done, you can use "Locate Gear" and you'll have Gear S location address on your mobile (great!).
This feature also works when Gear is not bluetooth thetered but connected remotely (both devices connected to the intenet (it's not need same network, I tried 4G on mobile and WiFi on Gear and it works).
That's very nice and important, because in case of not being bluetooth paired you can still find your watch, or at least, the address where it is.
You can also disable internet on both devices and they will be connected remotely again If you enable internet on them.
You can also turn off both devices and turn them on later and they will be connected remotely again by internet and "Share Location" will keep working.
The BUG:
You can disable GPS on your mobile, but do not open Gear Manager. If you do it, "Locate Gear" will be greyed, and you will lose the "Share location".
To "Turn On Share Location" again you must be bluetooth paired! But what If I can't find my watch to do it!
This is a software bug, because you can turn your mobile off (GPS will be off, of course), turn Gear S off, you turn both of them on again, they are connected remotely and "Share Location" will be working SINCE you enable GPS on your mobile before opening Gear Manager app.
So, this is my tip: DO NOT EVER open Gear Manager without enabling GPS before If you want to keep "share location" feature working.
I believe I'm not the only one with this bug.
My S5 (G900M) is running ZTO OC4 (5.0), Gear Manager version: 2.2.15022599.
R750B - ZTO - OA9.
If anyone knows an app else to locate our Gear S using GPS?
Let me know If you have this bug too...
Thanks.
without being flippant or unhelpful I don't quite understand the problem
don't get me wrong I'm very often puzzled why some people don't understand other peoples use case issues
but ... being a wristwatch, my Gear S is either on my wrist, being charged nearby, or otherwise in one of a relatively small number of discrete locations (including maybe in the washing machine, somewhere under my pillow, or down the back of the sofa)
I for one found Apple's "find my iDevice" very useful in locating said devices and reducing sleepless nights:
"Did I leave my iphone/macbook at work, in the car, in the hotel, airport or where I was working today.... did my iphone bounce out of my pocket somewhere else ? ... has someone stolen it ?" etc.
If the device still had a charge and a signal I could locate it, breathe a sigh of relief, contact those locations and/or send a message "please return REWARD no questions asked"
wrt to theft, muggings or my own cognitive impairment I'm not so sure "find my Gear S" would be as useful - the Gear S will be either somewhere in my house or my workplace, or gone for good ... ??
I personally leave gps off until I exercise. So that being said, in order for find my watch to be effective id like to see gps automatically turned on when away from my phone. That way if it was ever left somewhere other then my house I could actually find it
Easy... never trun gps off = no bug.
I use my GS as a stand alone phone for work and a Note 4 as my private phone.
I treat my GS like any other phone. All features always on, brightness full and charge it every night.
No big deal, no issues, everything works great.
Samsung Gear S gps not work on other country
I brought the GS in canada, mainly used as standalone and no SIM. I loaded with offline maps canada + italy. It works in north amercia and able to locate me and show directions. When I was in italy, GS never able to locate my current spot. it simply looping in "finding me" within the HERE map app. I wonder is it locked by design to prevent use in other country. or there is a GPS fix or needed to be rooted?
Hi,
If I'm the wrong forum I apologize and would be happy if directed to the proper one.
Androids newer versions have changed the 'GPS' button into a 'Location' button which now offers 3 options for determining your position (recording wifi router information and comparing it to a google database, using the devices GPS, and doing both) each of those options prompt a disturing and annotying popup each time you turn the GPS on, "advising"/badgering the user into sharing his information with Google.
The only solution which I found to this popup problem (without installing any 3rd party apps or rooting the phone) involves disabling the Google Play Service- that however created something strange which I'm not sure about... If previously the user could choose which way of locating he wants and the device remembered it- now every time the GPS is turned on it is automaticlly goes into "local device&wifi tracking" mode (the first option).
I want to know if a)Does the device indeed monitors that information (even if it can't send it anywhere with google services being disabled)? b) any way to stop it? c)can this default be changed so that only the local GPS chip will be used?
Thank you very much!
