Car bluetooth contacts (no phonebook) - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

My 2011 Infiniti G37x had NO problems with my I777 phone using bluetooth on either the factory GB or ICS.
I just rooted my phone and now using Siyah 3.5.1 Kernel and Serendipity 9.4 ROM. Love this rom.
My bluetooth works fine in the car, but the contacts are not moving over. I tried deleting the phone from the car and re-adding it. After pairing the phone to the car, it asks permission for the contacts, which I check "don't ask me again" and "allow". Nothing happens. I check the car and no phonebook entries exist.
I can still use bluetooth to make and receive calls, but no address book exists. Any idea? Is this the kernel or rom issue???

I wonder if it has something to do with the custom ROM's phone.apk, or whatever it would be, not being recognized. Is there a way you can grab the stock phone and try having that as well?
Just thinking out loud until the experts show up.

I have no idea. I only found a few threads about this and some stated that it was ICS specific, even on factory non rooted phones.
I didn't have the problem though before I rooted my phone on ICS 4.0.3.
I may try to go and upgrade to JB this weekend to see if that fixes the problem.
Since I'm still a noob at all this I'm a little hesitant to keep flashing kernels and roms. Last night I tried going back to the ROMs factory Cherrypicker kernel and that messed up my phone even more. Don't know why it did that. It didn't work on the Cherrypicker kernel either.

Just wanted to ask if you are using the native Contacts database? I'm running SHOstock2 v4.1.1 with Syhah 3.5.1. I use a third party contacts/calendar app (DejaOffice) to sync with Outlook. Sometime is the third party contacts DB does not update the native contacts DB my Ford Sync won't display addresses.

Sorry I should have specified that info:
Running only GMail app for email using the native contacts (people icon) on the phone. Gmail is syncing my contacts.
Outlook is NOT installed on my phone.
I was using the exact same gmail and contacts before and my phone did work on ATT non-rooted stock GB and ICS 4.0.3.

Well I decided to go ahead and install JellyBean AOKB 8.28.2012 and Contacts are now coming over to my car via bluetooth.
Hurray!!!

[Q] Facebook Sync

Alright, in the past few days, I have been running into the same issue. An issue I have never had before.
When I try to sync my Facebook Contacts it is able to sync my calendar, but after trying to sync my contacts it says:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This only happens with MY account. I put in my sister's and dad's accounts, and they synced up perfectly.
I have never had this issue before.
I have tried EVERYTHING in the book to solve it.
This problem occurs on any ROM I use (Froyo and Eclair, but I am currently on Macnut). I have ODINed to stock, and the problem is still there, even on bone stock.
I tried going onto my account and uninstalling the Samsung Mobile application and the Facebook for Android Application, ODINed to stock, tried logging in/syncing but I still received the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will
be back shortly."
I tried deactivating my account and reactivating, changing my password, my email - still no change.
When I go to my contacts, the activities feed of my Facebook shows up perfectly, with pictures an all.
This thing is stumping me big time. My FB contacts are vital to me, and it's bothering the **** out of me.
Anyone have words of enlightenment?
Come on help me out here guys.

Lemme get this straight, you're using the built in facebook contacts thing right? From contacts > updates which will prompt you to log in?
If its not working try deleting your account off of it and putting it back in
Of course could be a sever issue as well

[Q] Exchange 2003 -> Android 2.3.5 Calendar sync problems

Hi there,
After having posted earlier about the sync problems here, I would like to find out what is causing the problem.
I have done a lot of flashing lately and am pretty sure it must be either the Calendar/Agenda or the Sync program in Android 2.3.5 that's causing the problems (not sync-ing edited items made on the Exchange/Outlook client side).
Other clients, when installed on the phone, like TouchDown for Exchange, synchronizing everything fine.
My first question would be:
Has the Activesync program on the phone been updated from Android 2.3.4 to 2.3.5?
For, if not, it must be the Calendar/Agenda app that needs to be at the origin of the problems.
Can anyone confirm this?
The other question would be:
Depending on the answer on the first question, could either the sync or the Calendar/Agenda from 2.3.4 be ported to 2.3.5?
I'll gladly be willing to test. I have tried myself to replace the apps, but I don't seem to be able to find the appropriate files.
Anyone any help?
Regards,
Solved by updating to CM7 Android 2.3.7
Hi there,
Problem has been solved for me by updating to VictoryMod 2.1 (based on CM7) which is running Android 2.3.7.
Regards,
I have the same problem with google calendar sync. I have had it since I changed to 2.3.5 JVT and it's still here after changing to 2.3.5 JVU on Galaxy S. Is there a way to fix this without changing the entire rom?
I have also the same problem with GSII but I can't upload another rom, it's a company phone.
Is there anyway to have it working on GSII?
Thx, David
Exchange sync has always been iffy for me. I eliminated the problem using Google Calendar on the phone and using G-Syncit with Outlook to keep my desktop sync'd with Google. It isn't as elegant as using Exchange exclusively, but it has been flawless.
I guess it will work until I can get over the fear of migrating the Exchange Server to Google Mail.

[Q] Why samsung stock email app is so slow

I'm running on CF-Root + Siyah 1.2.6 kernel + stock ROM (+ modified NFC_screen off). ROM is XXLE8.
I've been using the stock email since the begining (with only root & stock rom) with 3 Exchange accounts synced.
Email app is taking forever to launch. Navigation in email app is laggy.
Whenever I want to move emails to subfolders, it takes ages to get the whole list.
I'm still running a Samsung Captivate Glide (Rogers ROM, root, OC @1.3GHz) with Android 2.3.5 : email stock app synced with these 3 exhange email accounts: it is clearly faster, no latency at all.
Even when it comes to load the same subfolders to move emails ...
Right now, it is really the worse "email user experience" I had.
Thought ICS would do better than that. :-(
Anybody else experiencing this ?
Is there any tweaks to make this app much, much faster ...
Is there a way to replace this "Samsung stock email app" (I guess) with the standard ICS one (only if it is faster) ?
Thanks
i have noticed none of the problems you experied with the email app. though i am only using it with one account synced. The app launches instandly and never lags or something similar, try removing 2 of your accounts and see if the problem is still there. its the only thing i can think of now, if the problem persists maybe another app you installed interferes with the email app and causes problems or...?

I removed one account ...same. Slow as "usual".
I remoed 2 accounts (only one left) ... same.
I wiped the whole device. Reset to factory defaults.
Loaded one Exchange account: email app was definitely faster.
Added a second one (Exchange) ... started to get slow ... Not as slow as it was, but slower.
Found a thread mentionning a way to replace Samsung stock email app with ICS email app. Going to try that...
Same very annoying problem here.
Any chance to get the stock nexus email apk here?

Not thrilled with OTA version. Email and data signal issues

I have had several issues ever since going with the official update. I am S-Off, am using the jp-bear hboot 2.25.2525 and AmonRa 3.15. I also rooted my phone. The first time I did the update, I RUU'd back to Gingerbread and started with a stock setup. I took the OTA and did the update. It seemed to go well but I was having issues with 4G not showing up and only getting 3G. I did not have this problem on 3.11, 3.13, or the first 3.14 leak. I ended up using the PH98IMG RUU for 3.14.605.12 and got the same problem with 4G. I did a full RUU again and no luck. I ended up going in to the stock Hboot and did a factory reset. That did the trick and I have had 4G ever since. However the signal doesn't seem as strong as it did with previous leaks. At home, I would usually get 4-5 bars consistently. Now I ususally get 2-3 bars and sometimes 4. I did have an issue with my previous extended battery cover but got another that wasn't damaged. And the cover is on tight. But after confirming that I had 4G, I flashed AmonRa, added the jp-bear hboot, and finally rooted it. The final problem I am having is with my email. For most of my accounts, I have been having problems with the stock email app updating. I have tried deleting accounts and then re-adding them and sometimes when re-added, wont download any emails at all. And I have one email that uses exchange. That one seems to be pretty reliable and usually works as it should. I had the same issues with 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10. I don't remember these email issues when I used 3.13.605.7 or the 3.11 versions.
I am seriously considering going back to the 3.13 version or even trying the 3.14.605.10. I have full downloads of all the ICS versions so it would be very easy to do. Has anyone else had these issues? Would it make sense going back to one of the earlier versions?

Well 5,7,10 and the ota 12 all have the same radios so that won't help. My guess is a failing or under performing lte card. I would try and get a replacement
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I do have 4G now but it took a lot of messing with the latest update to work. It worked fine with GB and when I just RUU'd back to GB to do the update, it had strong signals and grabbed 4G right away. I just hate to go back to GB and thought one of the leaks came with 1.22.10.310r,1.22.310.308r instead of the official 1.22.10.421r,1.22.10.424r.
When you say the lte card is possibly failing, are you talking about replacing the SIM card or is it some hardware in the phone that would need a replacement phone?
Well I think Ive gotten the signal issue worked out but not quite sure how. I was reading the thread about 2nd CPU and downloaded System Tuner and fired it up. I started playing with it, turned off a couple startup programs, froze some others, and selected to force all CPUs online under active tweaks. After rebooting, I now seem to have 4-5 bars consistently. Now if I can only get the email issue worked out. Is there an email program from google play that someone could recommend? I've about given up with the stock app.
Well I am about "-" This close to throwing this fricking thing at the wall and watching it break into a thousand pieces. Even though the data now is fine, the email issue is still here but worse now. I went and deleted all the emails to start from scratch again. I did this by going in to apps, finding the Mail app, force closing and clearing the cache and data. Doing a restart into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik cache 3 times eac and then rebooting the phone. I was able to add my exchange account with 0 issues and 1 of my pop3 accounts ok. And Gmail does work but I have to use the Gmail app to see it. When trying to add my gmail account into the regular email app, I get a 504 gateway timeout error. The same goes for trying to add my MSN account and Yahoo account, same error. I even tried adding them as pop3 accounts and manually added all the settings but this fails as well. I did open my browser to make sure that the internet still works because of the 504 gateway error and it does still work. I don't know what to do....
well Mike,
I feel bad for you that you are having troubles.
Personally, I am went to the .10 leak a few weeks ago, and then rui'd to .12
I have no problems at all, and I use my 5 email accounts.
o signal bars - I never care. if it works then it works and there is no problem. don't sweat over signal bars.
o For Yahoo mail you must use the yahoo email app from the Google play store. this app will add the yahoo email account to the system. do not try to add the yahoo email account into settings-accounts nor into the regular email app, or you are asking for trouble and will get it.
o I have three gmail accounts. Add additional gmail accounts using the gmail app. adding it any other way creates major problems. One can easily use the gmail app to switch among the Gmail accounts. in settings-accounts each if your Gmail accounts should show up exactly one time with a white G blue background icon next to it. Delete any Gmail accounts you have made that have the red/white gmail app icon next to it.
o The regular email app is for POP3 and other conventional email. Believe me that there will be kaos if you manage to get the regular email app servicing gmail or other kinds of email accounts.
o Create a desktop folder with yahoo mail app, Gmail mail app, and regular mail app. When creating and sending emails use the correct app.
o when new emails arrive you will get notification. touch the notification and the correct app will start and display the email.
Few people have so many email accounts, but this is the best way to use them, in my opinion, on the rezound.
Relax a little, don't destroy the rezound, after all you can always sell it.
regards,
Howard
This might be a coincidence but after I ruu'd .12 from running .10 I didn't have 4G. I enabled one of the location services, VZ I believe, and bingo, my 4G popped up. I disable the location service and have had 4G running fine ever since.

I ended up doing just that last nite and downloaded the Hotmail app along with the Yahoo app. So far using each of those seperate apps and the Gmail app seem to be working fine. It was just a whole lot easier when I was able to use the stock email app to check all of my emails at once. The stock email app is supposed to allow you to add all kinds of email types and specifically shows Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and a couple others as choices besides just regular pop3 ones. Its just strange because it worked very well before this and I didn't have to download those other apps to do it. . I know on GB it was fine along with the earlier leaks. I only started having problems on 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10.
I still overall really like this phone so I don't think I will destroy it. LOL

Sync Problem After Root & Cyanogen 9?

Hi all
Can someone help out quick?
I had my first mess around with the S3 last night and done the CF-Root with Odin, a NANdroid backup and then put on CyanogenMod 9 and everything has gone fine, other than the fact that I don't have any contacts, text messages or previously installed apps?
Am I able to get these back? I was sure I had the contacts and txt's synced through my Gmail account, but it doesn't seem so now....:silly:

Contacts synced through Gmail should have come back..go to account and sync and check whether contact sync option is enabled..
Texts are not synced to Google servers..use SMS backup and restore from market
