Hey guys, I upgraded to the Atrix from my Tilt2... I set up the bluetooth with my car (Audi A5) and the calling works fine but the car no loner imports my SIM contacts, recent calls, missed calls, and dialed calls list that my Tilt2 used to send over. Those options on the car are now just blank. Is there anyway to enable this? The bluetooth profile on both phones is just listed as "hands free". Is there any way to fix this or enable other connection profiles to send that data like my last phone did?
Thanks guys
I can pair my Atrix is my BMW 3-series but when it tries to download the phone book the BT connection drops. Sometimes I can start to make a call but it will drop the connection.
I can connect all my BB's and my HTC Inspire 4G just fine.
I think there is something wrong with the BT stack.

I think you may be right... I did some more online searching after the post and stumbled upon an Audi forum where multiple people have lost the ability on several different car models after moving to a stock android device... however, it appears things fix themselves with CM roms which may have a more sophisticated BT stack. I wonder if it's hopeless about having that capability until 2.3 or the bootloader is cracked?
If I can't get this fixed soon then I will be forced to return this phone.
How can they screw up something so simple??

I have this same problem in my Chevy Volt. Sometimes the phonebook works (but very slowly) but the call lists never work. Also seems to take a very long time to pair initially.

A lot of cars can only import the phone book from the SIM card. Not from any other application on the phone.
So if your phone book is in Google Contacts or some other application...you'll need to port it into the SIM card itself for most cars to be able to read it.
Return it. I have new A4 and atrix pairs fine. I actually think its the clearest device I've used in my car yet

"I have new A4 and atrix pairs fine."
And do you know WHICH phone book your numbers are in, or which phone books the A4 can pair with?
If his BT is connecting, and the phone is working over BT, there's no reason to think the phone is defective. yet.

It's not a BT Stack problem...it's an Audi problem (or BMW, etc...). The manufacturers need to program their devices for Android. The ability to grab contacts and such isn't a standard bluetooth handsfree device option. It has to do something extra. How it *handles* that extra something differs by device...which is why some don't work with Android devices.
On top of that, there's a dialogue when you first pair the device that asks if it should have access to your contacts, call lists, etc...that you have to "Allow" or it won't ever be able to get those lists. It's been the same way on every Android phone I've ever used. If you don't hit Allow within 10 seconds the dialogue will go away and never come back...unless you unpair and re-pair the device. Try doing this and seeing if the dialogue comes up. If it doesn't, it's an issue with the way your Audi/BMW polls for contacts.
BTW works perfectly with my Kenwood receiver.

"They" didn't. Audi/BMW did. They didn't spend enough time programming to figure out that Android handles contacts slightly differently. Put blame where it's due.

I have the 08' audi a4 and my contacts sync just fine, as do the missed calls.
" my contacts sync just fine"
SIM card contacts? Google Contacts? Exactly which or what "contacts" ?
Hi, new user here to searched and figured it'd be better to post in this thread rather than starting a new one.
I'm another Atrix user who is having issues with pairing the Atrix to a bluetooth car kit. I've got the VW Touch Phone Kit (rebadged Bury CC9060) which used to work perfectly with my previous Samsung Omnia as well as my partner's Samsung S8500. The problem I have was that with the 1.57 firmware, I could initially pair the phone and it would sync the phonebook up fine so that I could make or receive any number of calls without a hitch. But the issue was when I switched the ignition off then back on, the Atrix appears to pair correctly, it'll grab the phonebook but cannot make or grab any incoming calls. When dialing from the phonebook, it will initiate the call then drop out while the call still goes through. Incoming calls just aren't picked up at all. If I deleted the pairing and paired the phone up to the car kit again, it'd work until the first ignition off and back on again.
After I updated to the 1.83 firmware, this no longer works for me at all even though it appears to pair correctly and syncs the phonebook as well.
I've looked into upgrading the software on the car kit but I'm already on v0181 which is the latest for the VW branded kit. The Bury CC9060 kit has available a v0235 update but won't load on the VW kit as it does a checksum check. I'm looking at possibly editing the flasher to bypass the checksum check.
Has anyone else used the Atrix with this car kit and experiencing the same issues?
Thanks in advance

A quick bump.
I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one using an Atrix with this car kit...
I really wanted to buy a car kit, I was even willing to pay the rather high price. Then i saw tht the Atrix just "snaps it" with those two spring arms.
You know what happens in an accident? The phone will fly out as a missle. Good luck finding it, if you were doing 30 when you got slammed, the phone will still be doing 30 when it launches out of the clips.
If it doesn't hit you, you still won't be able to find it or call 911 on it.
So, nice dock, I'm holding off for something that can be used "in case of accident". For that price, I expect a more robust product, designed to survive. (Note to Moto, calls Mercedes and speak to crash safety team.)

I am not sure that the blame can be directed to the car makers not suiting the android configuration.
I had concerns about Androids paring car bluetooth, so when my wife got her Samsung running Froyo before i purchased the Atrix, I tested it on my 2010 A4 and it all worked faultlessly. All phonebook, dialled, missed calls & received calls. All her contacts are stored on the Phone too, not the SIM. It actually worked better with it than my old Nokia's, and my old iPhone 3G. All of which had contacts stored on the phone not the SIM.
Being in my car all day, I had to make sure it the Atrix running Froyo would work too, and that's why I tested it with my wifes phone before buying the Atrix.
I would have to say that the problem does have something to do with how the Atrix handles bluetooth. I have been having all the same issues that other users are having.
To be fair to the Atrix, I had only one problem when I originanlly bought it and that was loading the contacts from the phones storage, all the other options were working and it never displayed the annoying error message and it never dropped the connection either.
This has only started playing up completely since I rooted it and installed HeLauncher with Fancy widgets (maybe it's just a coincidence, but its unlikely i think IMHO).
I have since uninstalled the HeLauncher and Fancy Widgets, and yet the problem is still there, so I have no realistic reason why it isn't working anymore.
Because i work for Audi, I will check at work why this issue might be happening ( just with the Atrix not all the other Android phones) and see if their is anything that can be done to fix the issue.
Hi Staunch
I'd be very interested in what you can find out about this issue. I've basically got nothing out of VW and their official stand is that the atrix isn't compatible.

Ok, I have tried connectivity with the current version of MMI and it seems to pair up with NO error messages at all. It would appear at this stage that the new MMI generation have the "issue" fixed. I am still waiting for a reply from Service Technical Support to answer why the issue exists on the older MMI generations. It would appear that Audi in conjection with Apple focused their MMI setup for iOS, not considering Android OS's.
Will keep you updated once I have some more information about previous versions of MMI.
Blame the cars not the phone.
My phone works 100% well and perfect with my Acura.
I've also had fun trying to get my E46 3 Series BMW ULF BT module to talk to the Atrix - has no issues speaking to an older Nokia phone. Anyway after a LOT of experimentation I've finally pinned down the root cause of the problem, text messages (SMS).
I've yet to figure out the specific trigger but it is either the number of messages or something in a specific message it doesn't like. I figured this out because I noticed the envelope icon coming up on the BMW screen for 5-10 seconds before the bluetooth would drop out each time after connecting the pairing. Each connection only lasts 15 seconds at most.
Anyway there were 193 SMS messages in the car memory, maybe the 194th message was upsetting it. I deleted almost all the 1150 SMS messages in my phone and it was only when I got rid of all of them that it connected. I then had to manually clear the SMS messages in the BMW one by one (took a long while).
I then did some testing whereby I sent an SMS or two to my phone. I noted that the Atrix seems to periodly get asked to upload messages to the car. You can delete them in the car but if they are still on the phone, they come back shortly after. They always show as unread on the BMW unless you read them on the car screen. Reading them on the phone has no affect. Maybe the SMS side of BT headset support is borked on the Atrix.
So my conclusion is that while I don't know the detailed trigger specifics, for BMWs at least the Atrix Bluetooth issue comes down to SMS messages. My large contacts directory uploads in its entirety without an issue. The solution for reliable BT connectivity to the Atrix and a BMW seems to be in SMS message management. Get yourself a copy of SMS Backup from the market when you experiment.
Hope this helps others!

Make sure you follow these steps exactly! If you don't, you will have to do a webOS doctor and start from the beginning to get it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things to do first!
Download freeTether from Preware.
On your phone, go into where the bluetooth settings are. Turn on messaging access or MAP. (these settings are in all cyogen roms and a lot of other phone too, like sensation and MyTouch)
Make sure you turn off WiFi during the pairing, it can confuse it. You can turn it back on after if you want.
In freeTether make sure you enable "Auto BT Tether " in general preferances and enable "PAN profile" in bluetooth pref.
Turn on touchpad and phones bluetooth now!
Tethering time!
1st - Launch freetether and just leave it running.
2nd - have your phone search for devices.
3rd - You should see the Touchpad, but don't pair it on your phone yet! Now launch the bluetooth setting on your touchpad(don't close freetether though)
4th - Now pair with your touchpad on the phone. Wait until you see a pairing request on the touchpad bluetooth settings screen. It comes up at the bottom. Accept there and then finish on your phone and your done.
5th - you can now close freetether just don't uninstall it. From now on both devices will automatically recognize each other so all you have to do is turn on the bluetooth on the touchpad and touch your devices name that's saved under bluetooth settings.
Hit "Thanks" and Enjoy!

This enables you to use your TouchPad as your phone basically. The TouchPad comes with a Phone Dialer and and a messaging app installed already, so you don't need to download anything extra to get it to work. The TouchPad was designed to only pair with other WebOS phones to use the SMS/Calling, this is a way around that to allow you to use other OS's.
And no bluetooth headset is needed, calls play over the speakers on the TouchPad.
very cool will try this later tonight thanks!
Can you please edit the "Motorola Droid Charge" to the "Samsung Droid Charge"? I saw it like that in the Palm forum and it really irritates me!

Fixed just for you, my bad! Haha
don't see the messaging access setting on desire running miui pretty good find though!
Some Phones/Roms dont require you to active the MAP. So Give it a shot anyways. Worse comes to worse, the calls will still work for ya.
Sounds very cool... Will try it.

htc evo 3d has report issues and will resend the texts sent from the hp touchpad once the phone is restarted.
mine did it.
I have a Samsung Infuse 4G but it does not "find" the Touchpad when I do a search on the phone. Both bluetooths are turned on. Also on the TP, what do you select to find the phone? Do you choose Audio or Other?
On the 'Free Tether' app a circle symbol has appeared next to Bluetooth and it also shows as on, yet my android phone is picking up the touchpad
Any ideas?

Well you shouldnt be doing the paring from the TouchPad, you should be doing it on your phone and then wait for a pop up on the TouchPad. You will probably need to doctor your TouchPad and start over now. From some reason if you make a mistake with the pair process the TouchPad won't allow it with that phone again.

If you can't see your TouchPad on your phone Or your phone on your TouchPad under the bluetooth settings, then the only thing that I can recommended trying is doing a WebOS doctor and starting from the beginning. Like I said in a previous post, there are so many phones and Rom out there the pairing will be different with a lot of them. Just play around with it and post how you got it to work here!
So I managed to pair my Milestone 1(droid) with TP. I can answer phone calls with TP but I can't dial out. Furthermore, text messaging doesn't receive and I don't know how to send one.
Any ideas?
PS: This is so fun to answer a phone with my TP though!!! Thanks a million!
Can confirm voice calls work with Photon 4g, text messaging does not
ive tried it but i dont see a pop up screen om the touchpad to inter the password...
Great guide, many thanks.
Calls working on my Desire with CM7 and HD2 with WM7 (mango)
SMS not working though, would be v interested if anyone can fiddle it so it works!
This didn't work for my HTC Inspire. The phone didn't find the TouchPad at all.
I gave up on sideloading an App for texting on my Sony S tablet, so!
I am using Heywire free texting, I have all the notifications set to let me know when a text comes in. But it never notifies me of incoming texts.
Anyone know of a better texting program that we can use on a Sony Tablet S or how to fix the Heywire?
Oh yes I am running Android 3.2.1
Thank you

So far I like the Text Me, but again no notifications. I have the Wi-Fi set to never turn off even when the tablet is snoozing. I have the notifications turned on in the Text Me program. Still no notifications, what could I be doing wrong and the volume is turned up too lol.
I like that the program has options like larger fonts and things that part is great!!!

I bought textab a while ago and its amazing!
(I can't link to the market as I apparently have the stink of noob on me. Oh well, google time for you lol)
There's a lite version too if you just want to try it first.
** edit- with textab you just use your current android phone #. With both devices connected through bluetooth you get all texts on the tablet instead.
It works great and I'd reccommend it to everyone, but its probably not what you're looking for.
I use MySMS which texts through your phone. It links using wifi
You should also be able to send texts without a phone using Google voice
I get notifications from both
I just installed heywire, and I get notifications just fine. Maybe there is something wrong with your tab.
I've been using Tablet Talk, and it's great. You can connect via wifi or bluetooth. When I get home in the evening, I connect my tablet to my Evo 3d, throw the Evo in a cradle, and don't touch it until morning. I get notifications for texts and phone calls through the app on my tablet. I'm curious how other apps compare though. This is the only one I've tried.

Any one else try textab and find their wifi constantly drop and connect until you disable textab/bluetooth

A few days ago I bought a device called GMATE ($80), a type of smallcell without display or keyboard which is inserted a normal simcard and communicating via Bluetooth to the Samsung Galaxy Player, which means an application is integrated with android, receiving and making phone calls, and SMS, in addition to allowing internet access GPRS.
It's a perfect combination that increases the possibilities of Our Player
IPhones must be jailbroken, a repo is added to Cydia, and then the Gmate app is installed for the integrated Gmate functionality. How does this work in Android?
In GooglePlay you can download a Gmate aplication that integrates the gadget with your android player (also convert your android phone in a double sim phone) and uses android phone's features like dialer, contacts, or any thirtd party aplication likes rocket Dial.
Received and Make calls don´t need special features, if you uses the Gprs/edge to internet (in places with no WIFI) need to be rooted.
The application is not compatible with my U.S. 5.0 Player.

That does look interesting.

Gmate only.. I tried it with my other android phone and it doesn't work.
I came further when I changed my phone's Bluetooth id to "Gmate". It didn't connect because of a password failure
It's seems good
I don't quite understand... So besides buying the Gmate, would i need a sim card as well? secondly so would i practically be using a sim card with a data plan to use with gmate? but wouldnt that defeat the purpose of just using a smart phone with a card in it?.... these are all continuation Q's if the first is a yes lol.
This seems like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. How well does the device actually work? Does it keep a connection throughout the day, sending and receiving text messages without too much delay? I'm considering using this to replace my old dumbphone, but I'd rather not plunk down a sizable chunk of change with little indication as to how well this thing actually works.

EDIT: I HAVE FIXED THE MAIN ISSUE WITH MY GMATE, MORE INFORMATION BELOW
Well, my Gmate+ came in the mail today, and I've been playing with it for a little while now and am able to give first impressions. First off, the device is much smaller than I imagined, it easily fits in my palm, the vibration (on the plus version) is very loud. As for the function itself, it works. You can call and send and receive text messages (haven't tested the web access yet) with a few minor (and one major) annoyances. My device is currently a US SGP 4.0 running Terrasilent 1.1 and EtherealRom 2.3.
Minor annoyances I have found with the Gmate+:
- Notifications (read: texts) do not make noise/vibrate while the screen is locked. Once the screen goes on, if you do have a new text, it notifies you, kind of ruining the point of the notification.
- Text messages you send have proper time stamps, for some reason, the ones you receive are off by a few hours, as if the sender is in a different time zone
- Seems to be no way to delete contacts from the address book, even uninstalling, wiping data, reinstalling didn't do anything about this.
Major annoyance with the Gmate+:
- It disconnects, and by that I mean it disconnects ALL THE TIME, the device is pretty much useless because of this, it will be fine for a few minutes, then disconnect, regardless of how close the Gmate is to my SGP. Every few minutes, I'd check it, and guess what? No connection. Sometimes it would reconnect, sometimes I'd have to manually do it, sometimes I'd have to restart one or both devices to get it to work again.
Seeing as everything the device does it actually does quite well when actually connected, I want to rule this problem to some battery saving tweak in my kernel/rom. As such, I'll be returning to stock and trying the Gmate again to see if any of these issues are cleared up. As it stands, I have a 75$ paperweight that buzzes occasionally.
EDIT: After flashing back to stock and noticing no change, I began searching around and found other people having similar problems with similar devices, mainly connecting their smartphones to the bluetooth sound system in their car. Turns out in Deep Sleep, the device has issues keeping constant bluetooth connection. After downloading an app (Bluetooth KeepAlive: ~$1.30) on the market that keeps the device from entering this mode, the Gmate no longer disconnects, and has remained connected for several days, having no problem with calls or text messages at any time. In summary, with this app, I am now happy to recommend the Gmate to anyone who is looking for this kind of functionality. Guess it goes to show that non compatible apps are listed in the Play Store as non working for a reason
Previously I was running CM7.1 Alpha on my nook tablet and my Bluetooth would not turn on, when I pressed the box to turn on it flashed a check changed to "Turning on" then quick flashes back to "turn bluetooth on" and deselects the check box. I just did a fresh install of CM7.2 alpha since it needed the update anyway also in the hopes the bluetooth issue would be fixed but it still won't turn on. I have tried many of the simple tricks short of reloading and trying it before applying my backup for all my apps. Is this a known issue? And if so are there are general reliable tips for the bluetooth on the nook tablet specifically?

Basically, theres a specific code that will unlock the Bluetooth capabilities. No one has found that code yet and the last time I checked the Bluetooth would be a very weak signal, only within 1meter would work. So only good for keyboards. That project is on the back burner right now and isn't in cm7 or cm9 at the moment. It'll be awhile before it works. If ever.

If nobody has found the code yet how do you know it is within a meter? My desire is to use a bluetooth controller with emulators on my Nook Tablet. It occurs to me however, if the bluetooth doesn't work is there a way to use a USB NES controller, and a USB to Micro-USB cable in CM7?
Only if USB Host mode is unlocked on the device. It's a similar problem to the Bluetooth issue: nice to have, but takes a back seat to general rom development.
i read the 'one meter' or less limit ( if we get it working at all . . . ) is coming from the folks over on the 'nc' ( nook color ) forum. it is because the hardware is missing a proper antenna ?

Because one of us in the community (forgot who) literally TORE OPEN their nook and looked at the wireless chip. Its the same thing as the nook color which only works within a meter I think due to the lack of a proper antennae
