Does anyone out there with a new Evo have a Ford Sync radio? Does the text messaging work? Any problems setting up? It took a long time to get all the features working on my OG Evo and want to know if there are any issues before I upgrade.

I have SYNC but I haven't had time to set it up yet. Did you ever get text messaging working with the OG?? I tried forever and never got it.
It does not work with text messaging. Everything else works fine. The text messaging I havn't seen work with any phone...even my wife's ....GULP...iPhone.
Text messaging worked with my EVO 3d with sync...haven't setup my EVO LTE yet for text.
In the bluetooth advanced options their was a setting that had to be checked with my EVO 3d.
Mines doesn't work but I think it's because I have the first version of Sync in my 2010 Taurus.

It works with MyFord Touch. I did read somewhere that Ford released an update for Sync a couple of months ago. Not sure if you can update that yourself or if the dealer needs to do this.

You know, you can download updates to Ford Sync online and load it into your car via USB (if it has a USB port). Updated my Fiesta that way.

Text messaging should work.. You have to go into Bluetooth on the phone, then advanced and turn on messaging access.
Next, go to your car and go into the SYNC options, find Advanced, and look for a Bluetooth MAP Profile option. Set this to on.
The Bluetooth MAP option might only be available in the newer sync versions, but you can check he www.syncmyride.com website for an upgrade to your cr.. Or call the dealer, they will do it for free.
I have it working with the OG Evo with CM7 and CM9, no sence roms seem to work

I havent tried text messages but streaming pandora, mp3, calls and voice commands all work in my 2012 Mustang GT. The range is great also. I've walked 40-50 feet away and still had connection.
text work if you enable map profile in sync settings and enable sms and email in bluetooth menu on phone.
I can't get it to work, my OG EVO works. Guess its time to root

Do ya'll get something weird happening when you bluetooth connects where it automatically MUTES media volume? Does it on disconnect too. Damndest thing. My Evo3D started doing it too not too long ago.
I had to delete my profile and redo the pairing to fix that problem.
Got it to work, just need to make sure all options are selected before you pair the phone

I have been struggling with this for a while and finally got it working using your suggestion. I can't believe I never tried re-pairing it with all advanced options selected. I guess I had given up because I thought Bluetooth MAP services were required to make it work. I even considered trading in my EVO. When I downloaded my messages it only downloaded the last text msg and only the header. I am still playing with it but at least Sync recognized the phone as text capable.
It will only download new messages and not ones that you have read before getting in the car. I use it all the time when I'm driving

Text works for me too. Now I only wish song information would display via bluetooth streaming. I have the music on the phone and plays fine, but on the Sync displays, it only shows Unknown Artist and Unknown Song. Steering wheel controls work fine, so I know there is a 2-way dialogue happening. Anyone ever got this to work?
Downloaded the new update today (3.2.2) hoping for a fix, but no luck.
Ever get this working? Just got a brand new 2013 Ford Escape with MyFord Touch and everything works except receiving text messages. I can use the system to send a text message, but receiving it never is displayed or read from the system. Message Access is checked. And email to HTC says the Evo LTE doesn't support MAP, it also does not list MAP as one of the features on their Bluetooth feature page (it does for the EVO 3d).
For those with older gen 1 sync systems that didn't get the MAP profile update, this patch was merged in to CM10 a few days ago that looks like it might enable texting on the pre-MAP sync.

If you have Preware downloaded, Download an app called freeTether. This app allows you to make the TouchPad visible via bluetooth. Then on your phone find the TouchPad and pair it. Then accept the the link on the Touchpad and your good to go.
PS- you can also get the text messaging to work on the Touchpad with most Android phones if you use this method. You just need to make sure you allow messages to be sent via bluetooth in your phone. It should be in settings under bluetooth advance or something like that!

Texting works on my Desire HD. I get an issue with calls but I have yet to really dig in to it to try and get it working. It triggers the phone dialer but then drops saying the device doesn't support audio. Will post again if I get phone audio working.
Worked here, thanks.
Same issue with calls, it initiates it and then gives up. Texting works fine, and it appears to be receiving files from my SGS2 although I can't see where it's saving them. (EDIT: It saves them into the /tmp folder)
Now. Any way to get the TouchPad to access the WiFi connection of the SGS2 via either USB or Bluetooth somehow? (My SGS2 connects to the office Enterprise network, the TouchPad won't despite several hours of hackery to try and get it going ).

It does NOT make the touchpad visible......
I think this is the proper place for this, but feel free to call me names if it's not.
I just bought a Focus, and was using the Sync system with my Thunderbolt with no issue. Then about a week ago, I switched over to using CM7, now I can't make an outgoing call. There's no volume in the car, and if I manually turn Bluetooth off on the phone, I can hear the person I'm calling, but they can't hear me.
The weird thing is that if I get an incoming call, I can answer it through the car, and everything works without problem. I also don't have any issues like this with other Bluetooth devices. I've tried deleting the connection between car and phone, and re-pairing them, but get the same result.
Anyone who could suggest something would be my hero!
only thing I can think of is that cm7/aosp roms use a different BT stack then sense based roms (stock or otherwise). I'm guessing this stack which is usually better, isn't doing something right. I would try a sense based rom and see if your problems resolve.

I'm using TheROM V4 (aosp) rom, and previously was using CM7. Have been able to sync with SYNC with no problems. I would try deleting the BT connection in your car first, then re-pair your phone. If that doesn't work, try downloading and flashing CM7 again. If that does not work, and you like AOSP ROMs, then try one of the other ones (OMGB, OMFGB, TheROM, or Thunderstick).
Sometimes my sync starts acting up in my 2009 focus. Only thing that remedies it is a master reset on your sync under system settings and then pair the device again.

So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone

Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though

i bought the app but i cant install it on my phone with over 300mb free i need help keeps sayin i need to free up space
edit- i fixed it by jus pushing it to the phone via adb
Not sure if this has been discussed here or not but I am just carrying this over from past experience with the OG Evo when i had problems with streaming music on Tunee music using 3g so if anyone cares here's the fix.
***This only works on Sense Based Roms***
1. Open the dialer app and type ##3282#
2. Choose Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL # (If you don't know it you can download the MSL reader app in the Play Store - you must be rooted to use this app)
4. Choose Advanced
5. Scroll down to RTSP/HTTP Setting select it
6. Then change HTTP proxy IP to 0.0.0.0 and HTTP proxy port to 0
7. Then exit and reboot
Now you should be able to stream music using 3g on music apps and such better.
This may help you or it may do nothing for you but I have to do this in order to stream music in Tunee music and Im sure some other apps out there.
Some people have said this also "Slightly" increased data speeds but take that with a grain of salt
Note - This will revert back once you flash a new rom
***Although almost impossible Im not responsible if you damage your phone in any way by doing this***
I see the option but when I click on it, nothing happens. the setting doesn't open up for me to make the change. Running "STOCK WITH GOODIES 1.75" rom. Anyone else not able to access the setting?
Thanks for the info however this did not work for Pandora. If I'm 3G it will not load a song. It says loading or buffering 1% then skips to the next song. Pandora works flawlessly on my WiFi.

Thanks for the 2nd option.
I am Stock so by "clear cache" I assume you mean the App Data for Pandora. I did that and rebooted then tried it out and still nothing. I have email Pandora about it and this was the response that I got:
Thanks for writing, sorry about the trouble. We're aware that recent Android OS updates have resulted in our app not working on certain devices. We're working with Sprint on this issue.
Thanks so much for your patience in the meantime.

PANDORA® internet radio

Did this and I think my data speeds got worse. New Spotify radio would barely play. It would play 2 or 3 seconds then skip, 2-3 seconds, skip. The old version of Pandora worked flawlessly though.
Sigh.
I remember when an OTA broke streaming music on the original evo. Took forever for Sprint to officially fix it. Every since that happened I always remove sprint's proxy from my phone. It helps the speeds a little but because Sprint runs there 3G on netzero streaming music doesn't work so hot unless it's 4 in the morning. I use to stream Rhapsody on HQ music over wimax although it worked well the signal would cut in and out 100 times on a 15 commute. So what I do now is use slacker and cache for offline playback. The stupid part about that is that even when going into cached content it still has to connect to download album art sometimes that can take forever to load. I'm just hoping LTE rollout doesn't look like swiss cheese like wimax was.

Anyone know a good app that turns wifi on/off not based on location? So if I am connected at home and leave it turns off my wifi and then periodically checks to see if a known ssid is within range and reenables if one is found. I used to use one called Auto Wifi On off but don't see it in market anymore. I don't leave the location settings on and the couple I have tried that use that feature don't work to find my "home" location so never bothered to try them for long. Running Mean bean 3.6

You can do that with tasker...I've never tried it before, but I've seen examples where people have done it. From what I hear though, it's pretty hard on the battery and there's a fair amount of scripting to get it setup. A simpler solution would be to buy an NFC tag and use NFC task launcher to write a profile to it that disables wifi, enables mobile data, etc. Then you can just tap your phone to it when you leave the house. You can set it up as a toggle also, so it will do the opposite next time you tap it (when you come back in).
Tags are pretty cheap, and there's a bunch of other stuff you can do with them...one of my favorite features of this phone. Here's where I bought mine from:
