SMS readout via Ford sync - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for an app that can read out SMS messages on Ford sync which connects via Bluetooth. Any ideas?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

?
I've seen forums where a few phones have worked and others didn't, but no indication as to why. No SMS support for my CM7 AT&T GSII.

I am having the same problem with my Ford Sync with my galaxy nexus. I read that the problem is that galaxy nexus doesnt support the MAP settings with the Sync. I think Sync needs to update this for it to be compatible.
I also read that its really carrier specific e.g. sprint doesnt support it at all and Verizon only some phones mostly the Microsoft phones because that is what Ford Sync is using.

[Q] Making phone calls with the galaxy tab 10.1v??

Hello guys,
does anybody knows how to make phone calls with the samsung GT-P7100 galaxy tab 10.1v? got my simcard in it and dont know how to call, sending smses, and how to get all my contacts on my tab wich one i got on my simcard?? are there any apps for it ?
Kind regards,

To get contacts, sync your contacts to GMAIL then sync your gmail account.
Search the appstore for textfree with voice. Or just use Google Voice.

But the phone contacts in GMAIL. And I think that if you email someone's phone at their service provider, it will be sent to them as an SMS.
Code:
[email protected]
For an example. I'm 90% sure that's correct (can't remember where I read it), so try it out on your phone first. Tell me if it works!

dont think this will work, there was someone on a dutch forum asked the same, but samung made a mistake on there website about the discription. in the discriptions they were saying you can call and text someone trough your provider, so one off them contacted with samsung and they said it was a mistake on ther website
Oh, IDK then
so,ok i'm confused.
is there a way to make phone calls with the 10.1v? I mean with the sim card and a dialer and all.
otherwise i don't get it why they have a handsfree with the device...
I'm kinda interested in this too.. the tab 10.1v didn't come with a dialer app, when other apps tied to make a phone call I just get a prompt asking if I wanna save the number in my contacts and that's it.
ironically according to Vodafone AU, they encourage you to use Skype or VOIP to make phone calls...even the plan for the Tab is data only (although if you put the SIM in another phone you'll be able to make GSM calls at exorbitant rates).
P.S. the handsfree is for VOIP/Skype dialing - or so as it was intended by design.
The android 3.0 is only for tablet, no phones at all, so this OS is not designed for mobile phones, so all android 3.0 tablet cannot make a phone call, as well as moto Xoom.
However, some guys may crack this operating system and add some codes( something like that ) and make the tablet can be calling. As far as I know, moto Xoom can make a phone call but it is unstable. Perhaps we need more people to get this tablet to develop this phone call function

I'm not so sure that's true... I'm pretty certain that Honeycomb is quite capable of making and receiving phone calls, but I doubt that carriers want that functionality for all the same reasons that US carriers gimped the US versions of the 7" Tab. Selling a single device that "does it all" is bad for business.
If you look in this video, you can see at various points where you're given an option to make a voice call, and in the settings screen, you have a "Call settings" option in there, but whether or not we will actually be able to do that when the device is released, is another question altogether...
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 live first look
I'm also interested in this (wither the 10.1 Tab is able to do voice calls).
For the guy who said "Honeycomb cant make phone calls"
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gal...eview_amazingly_packs_telephony-news-2709.php
Appearntly the Samsung Tab 8.9 is able to do voice calls, you can do it using your contacts, .. or by using a 3rd party dialer from market.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has just arrived in our office and, boy, do we have some news for you. It turns out that the Honeycomb slate takes on from where its 7” predecessor left off, and brings native telephony capabilities to an even larger form factor.
Yeap, we are talking regular GSM network phone calls and even some video-calls if you wish. There’s no dialer on board, but you can either get a 3rd party app from the market (as we did), or use your contacts list for initiating calls.

I hope 10.1 is the same!
i have the IO 10.2 - yes you can make phone calls using Skype or Tango

I don't think we're talking about making phone calls with a 3rd party VoIP services like Skype or Tango. We're talking about making native GSM carrier switched phone calls in exactly the same manner as you can with the 7" Tab (and regular ol' mobile phones of course).
GSM? Please say yes.
Been using my 7 inch with ATT and rotohammer's rom on it to make calls since the device was released. I would love to get the 10.1 but can't see going back to using two devices, voip is not an option.
My two questions:
1. Will ATT be carrying this device
2. Can it be modified to use GSM phone service, (not skype)

this is an old issue that we have found out how to work around. Get the tethering plan and they don't mind you using you tab as a 'do everything' device. It was the iphone unlimited data plan that made the execs at att get their big girl panties in a wad. You have to be willing to pay for it, which I am, but it works great. Now, back to my questions, aside from att issues, does the 10.1 device have the ability to be used as a gsm phone?

Well, I guess that's my issue then; I'm not willing to let go of my unlimited data plan (either of them) so, I'm just using it as a data only device for now with my Laptop Connect SIM instead.
Back on topic though, as for being able to use the 10.1(v) inch tab as a GSM phone, from a purely hardware standpoint, there's no technical reason why it can't. Even GSM/UMTS devices which are branded as "data-only" devices, such as aircard modems, are capable of making and receiving ordinary GSM phone calls, provided you have the right software to utilize those functions. (I should know, I used to make regular phone calls from my Sierra Wireless 870 all the time). Now, whether or not carriers will allow the manufacturer to ship their devices with those calling abilities out-of-box, is an entirely different matter...
So, to summarize:
Is the Galaxy Tab 10.1, 10.1v, 8.9, etc. capable of making and receiving GSM phone calls the same way a GSM phone can? Yes, probably.
Will carriers support this innate hardware capability and allow users to make and receive regular GSM phone calls to and from their tablet devices? Probably not.
That's why I brought up my older post. Not because it isn't still an issue for that specific device, but rather because it's still an issue on the principle that US carriers (not just AT$T), apparently will deliberately cripple new technology in order to force us, the consumers, into buying more of their crap when we don't necessarily need to. E.g. forcing us to buy two line subscriptions, one for data, and one for both voice and data, when one line subscription would have been perfectly ample to suiting our needs, had we been allowed (officially) to use tablet devices as GSM phones as well, and switch freely between the two.
Jus got a 10.1v. For sure phone calls are not supported. But for sure the hardware supports it. Its just "CLOSED" for this tablet via software.
I am sure some cool developer can sort that out pretty soon for us though.
Really would want this to happen.

Has anyone used Enhanced Email without any issues???

Has anyone used Enhanced Email without any issues???
Issues such as random reboots, etc.
Sent from my Motorola Photon 4G (MoPho) on Sprint, the Now Network using XDA Premium.
I've been using EE since it was the Amazon FAOTD and I've never had any issues with it...switched from K-9 because it seemed to like to really hang on to emails that I had supposedly deleted.
I only have two accounts on it, Comcast and G-Mail (which is set up as an exchange account so that it receives its emails by push...not sure where I found the guide for doing that, but it was on here somewhere).

[Q] Message Access Profile (MAP) Bluetooth

Can anyone with a note already AND a car system that uses Message Access Profile (MAP) check to see if it works with the note? This should allow systems like Ford Sync, to read and send SMS over the bluetooth.
The international version of the note doesn't work with BMW's connected office (SMS and email), voice and contacts sync just fine. I too am looking for a way to enable the MAP bluetooth profile on a note.
-Wally
Ah, I'll try it - I have an aftermarket head unit that started displaying SMS messages when I got my Photon 4G. I haven't paired it with the Note yet. From the post above mine it sounds like it might not work though.

There are multiple iterations of Sync (varies vehicle and year) however on my 2011 Ford F150 Platinum it will not work.
Doesn't work for me either, but my JVC unit does work with my Photon so I assume it is a limitation of the phone. Not that I want to read txts while driving anyway.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note
Does anyone else have any further information regarding MAP and the Note? I haven't been able to find much.
Any updates rom that supports this

[Q] POP3 mail won't work on mobile data

Hi, I have a strange problem I can't resolve.
I have a SGS3, stock ROM (but rooted) and using K9 mail (although I've tried using the native email app and having the same issue, so I don't think it's a K9 problem).
Basically, I can't send or receive mail while on mobile data, but when I'm connected to a wifi network I can send and receive fine.
It only seems to be a problem with POP3 mail. Browsing works fine on either. My exchange email (I use Touchdown) works fine on both. Other connected apps work fine on both.
It's just POP3.
I've double checked the settings in case they somehow changed themselves or were changed by something else. As I said, I setup the same account using the native email app, same issue. It just doesn't connect to the POP3 server, it just sits there and times out. I don't even get a message.
I'm pretty tech savvy but this one has me stumped. I'd really appreciate some advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem please.
Cheers,
Pete
Check with your networks email settings especially the Ports .

That's what's called "****ty provider"; The most probable reason is that your provider blocks access to SMTP/POP3/IMAP except maybe to their own servers.
That is what Telekom Germany does or at least did for a long time.
A not-so-easy but highly workable fix is to use Exchange accounts. Not only will you get (nearly) realtime delivery of your emails but since it leverages the HTTP protocol you bypass port-based restrictions. A PHP-Script e.g. is Z-Push
Easier is to open a VPN connection.
Some also just use a non standard port .
BE UK block port 25 for example .
Worth checking your networks forums .

Thanks everyone so far. I should have mentioned that my wife, an iphone user, isn't having this problem and she's using the same ISP. Therefore if it were a port issue I'd expect her to be having the same problems.

Google Voice network error on AT&T 3G, works on wifi

Hello all,
I tried searching for this problem, both on XDA and on the interwebs, but I couldn't find any suitable answers.
I'm getting a network error message when I launch my Google Voice app on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 on AT&T's mobile network. The app won't sign in, so I cannot send or receive texts. In addition, Google+ does not connect either, it gives a "no data connection" error. However, Gmail works fine. I checked the auto sync settings, but all appears to be good. On wifi, the app works fine. Also, the issue is not with my data connection since I am able to access websites on 3G.
My phone is stock, with the latest 4.0.4 update on UCLL6. I kept getting the error prior to update as well (started happening in late February). I also checked the phone's date and time settings, because apparently that has been known to cause sync issues, but that didn't work either.
I would appreciate any help on the matter!
My device:
Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 using stock Android 4.0.4
GV app version - 0.4.2.72
