I know this impacts what is probably a very small percentage of users, but it looks like the DNA may work with the MAP protocol for voice texting over the Ford Sync/MyTouch interface. Need to do some additional testing, but so far it is promising.

Man, you got me all excited! However, I just tried the txt feature on my vehicle and txt didn't work. I have a 2010 F-150 which has SYNC but is pre MyTouch. For whatever reason it seems that only old phones (ie RAZR) support this feature with, at least, my truck.
awesome man! my dad has a 12 Taurus limited and getting a 13 Taurus limited within a few weeks after its built! i will test on both when i get the chance and report back! as you might know the 12 doesnt have my touch but the 13 does so i will be able to tell you for sure within a week or two hopefully!
I don't know about y'all, I just hate that I can't play my music through usb. Those features are the only thing I miss from my iPhone.

Why would you want to? Ford sync supports bluetooth streaming audio
I can't even get my stock DNA to pair with my 12 focus titanium.
hmm, must have an upgraded BT stack. It is needed to support the text reading.
Yeah, we have had absolutely no problem with BT streaming over my rezound or my wife's tbolt on our 12 Explorer with mytouch.
If that doesn't work for you, you can always just pop in a usb stick with as much music on it as you want.
The dna does not support the map bluetooth profile. You can't do texting with the Ford sync system, I have tried.

Works fine on my 12 explorer.
My previous phone, the Thunderbolt, came up as not supported for testing after pairing. The DNA shows as supported when I paired it, but it doesn't appear to work. It found a text message, but couldn't read it.

You can create and send texts through MFT?
I have an '11 Explorer limited and my MFT only reads my texts to me... but I can't voice-create a reply text.. can you?
Beat em up on sync my ride.com feed those engineers as much info as we get here on XDA. this is a great community with lots of brains... if a 2012 unit is working well user hardware stacks/protocol shouldnt be the failure point. The more info/nagging you give the Ford team the faster we can all receive software fixes. Most should be released as a CIP (inst via USB/no need for an appt) BT Stack changes may require VIP (OEM firmware upgrade) regardless u pay a premium for a beautiful my touch/sync system and they pay teams of coders for customer satisfaction. But its harder to fix if they don't know what's broken. The techs and service writers have their hands tied on a lot of this stuff and social media etc will lead to better products as well as features. Tell them what you want !!!

Ford Edge 2012...
Very strange behavior, but today, for the first time I got a text message. It was one my wife sent me earlier in the day. I can't think of anything new I have done to either my phone or my car.
I was able to reply to her from the preset responses when the car was not in motion. I didn't receive any other text she sent or the response she sent from the preset response I sent her (she got that message and it said it came from Sync).
I am using Handsent for texting on my phone.
I did this before updating to the new DNA firmware (which I did tonight and I will check texting again in the AM).
VERY strange...
I've had my 2013 escape notify me of text and read them back but could not send them. It doesn't always work either kind of hit and miss.

You have to be stopped (not in motion, like at a stoplight) for you to be able to respond back.
I just wish I could figure out why it works some times and not other times to receive texts. If it works once, then it should be able to work all the time.

Unless you have a similar, all rolled into one device already, The Eris, sans phone & g3, is still a very useful device.

It still needs voice service with Google Voice, right? GV isn't VOIP, it just manages calls to all of your phone numbers. And if you activate on VZW, it'll require a data plan as well.

You can download and use the new sipdroid (option for new PBX linked to my google voice) and google voice for true voip with google voice. all incoming gv calls ring to sipdroid, all outgoing gv go through sipdroid when attached to wifi. no need to activate with vzw.

I think it's proper 3G video calling, but I no longer know anybody with a phone that supports this as everybody is on new-fangled smartphones that can't do normal video calling.

Trouble with 3G video calling is the price, last I could remember it was like 50p a minute and never took off when 3 UK started promoting it initially. Mind you, the data plans have got up now (though 3's all-you-can-eat sounds good) I suppose.

I had to ring orange to activate it, now is working , wouldn't let me ring a video call until I did

I need video calling like skype or tango, skype would be awesome but no release for android yet.
I am a social networking freak, no gaming, tweeting and facebooking mostly and youtube. and skype
so what shall i go for SG2 where people tell me android is too buggy with its apps and there is no skype but there is tango or ooovooo and a 2 megapixel camera
or the damned iphone that trace ur ass and kill chinese staff. very complicated choice and i think id love somebody to tell me that get the SG2 becoz skype will release a video calling feature for android soon and that the apps are not so full of bugs as some say.
or somebody tell me get the heck out of this forum and go get a damn apple toy!
thank you

Skype are working on video calling and there have been a couple of leaks but it appears it'll be a Verizon exclusive for a few months much like the app was.
I'd go for the SGS 2 but that's because I love Android. It's so much more customisable and the range of apps is pretty much the same. Go into a store and play with both; see which one you like best.

i dont think so , and yes its quite steep, and the quality isnt great either, was very jerky when i called my girlfriend in the same room. we both got g2's.
qik video was much better through wifi, not tested it both on 3g / H yet
.. as for included minutes, it says this on the webpage
if you're on pay monthly
Your Plan 60, 120, 200 or 300
30 minutes per month for 3 months
Orange Premier – 600 or 900 minutes
60 minutes per month for 12 months
im on 1200 minutes a month so i might ring em and see if get a few minutes, but it doesnt use your regular minutes i know that much .
Guys are you saying the Video Call button in the dialer is only intended for British networks?
Can I "setup" that button to call using Skype, if I am not on Orange or some other network that supports the original Video Call functionality on SGS2?
Do your contacts sync over to your car?
I bought an Evo 3D and now my contacts won't sync over bluetooth to my car! This sucks, I need this essential feature to work or I'll have to return this phone. Dialing from my car is much easier and safer than dialing from the phone. My contacts synced just fine over bluetooth to my car with my old Evo.
The Evo 3D will connect to my car over bluetooth and can work in "phone audio" mode, but how come the contacts won't sync like before?
What's the difference between the Evo 3D's bluetooth and the Evo 4G's bluetooth?
Keep an eye on your phone. Even though its already paired up with the radio it will still ask for permission (on the phone) to connect via BT and access the information.

So, you got your 3vo to sync contacts over bluetooth? What model year is your 7? My 5 is a 2006 so I hope that's not "too old" for it to work w/the newer phones. I'll drop by the dealer and see what they can do. May test drive the F10 while I"m there.

I went to the dealer and they couldn't get it to work. On the 2006 5 Series, the iDrive lets you select any pairing code you want, so it's not pre-programmed into the iDrive.
I also tried another user's suggestion of properly using both First Name and Last Name fields in my contacts, I have some single word contacts, like "Home" and "Mom" and that didn't work either

I think you'll have to wait for an update to your radio.

Have you ever tried a different dealership??? Also have you figured out what version of idrive do you have??? You have the choice if I'm not mistaken to pay the dealership for an upgrade if there's an upgrade available "which I think there is" but once again it depends on your version of idrive. Normally its covered under the 50k/miles warranty if you were experiencing problems. If you have to pay I think it would be around 2 to 250 and take a little over three hours depending on the dealer you went to.
Edit: you could try this to check you versison. No guarantee it will but I figure its worth a shot. But if it does then that will allow you to searh for an updated version if not then unfortunately you will have to go to a dealership

Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Note 2 when connected to my Sync system in my Lincoln MKS. I'm able to pair successfully, stream music, make phone calls and it works just the way it should, but when I try to choose the text message option I receive an error message stating that "Text messaging is not supported on the phone currently connected by Bluetooth." Well, ok . . . except it is. I know the phone has the correct blue tooth profile on it to allow SMS to be displayed on Sync, and I know Sync has worked correctly before because it worked perfectly with my Droid RAZR MAXX. I really miss this feature, it's not the end of the world but it's really aggravating that this phone has the necessary profile, Sync has worked correctly in the past (I'm pretty sure it's up to date, that's the one thing I'm still needing to confirm but I would think that if it worked with the RAZR it would work with the Note 2) and yet here I am with no capability of texting. I contacted both Samsung and Ford even though I really look at this as a Samsung issue, and both were useless, though Ford didn't suggest I hard reset my phone (and I still don't know why I humored Samsung on that anyways) but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
FWIW the text feature didn't work on the Galaxy Nexus either. This points to an issue on the Samsung end. Hopefully it's not a hardware limitation on the Note 2.

Ugh, that's annoying, I wasn't aware of that.

This is the only negative I've found about the phone so far and it's not worth returning it over, but man is it annoying.

Check out this link http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/#check-compatibility as it will have the compatible phones for each sync system. I understand you have everything setup properly and its not working but its my understanding if the phone isn't listed on the compatibility list then more than likely it wont work. I would also check online once this phone gets a little bit older in age to see if Ford updates sync to be compatible with this phone and a lot of other new ones that have been released. Hope this helps

Yeah, I don't think of this as a Ford issue but they are making it unnecessarily difficult to rule them out. I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS, picked it up in June, and there's no way short of taking it to a dealer to know if Sync is up to date or not. Fortunately (uh, I guess . . . ) for me I discovered a pretty nasty transfer case leak when changing the oil the other day, so the big girl is heading to the dealer on Monday to get that sorted out and I'm just gonna have them make sure she's all up to date on Sync, TSB's, have them figure out why I get these intermittent squeaks from the stereo, just get her all in good shape. For the record, here's the facts I am certain of:
FACT: I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS with Sync in it.
FACT: My previous phone was a Droid RAZR MAXX.
FACT: When the RAZR MAXX was connected to Sync, the text message feature worked perfectly.
FACT: My current phone is a Galaxy Note 2.
FACT: I am able to connect my Note 2 to my Sync without issue and am able to make phone calls and stream Google Music over it.
FACT: Here is what I see when I choose text messaging on the screen.

Holy **** son, are you dumb? Let me spell it out for you since it seems difficult for you to understand.
SYNC WORK GOOD WITH DROID RAZR. SHOW TEXT MESSAGES. GOOD TIMES.
SYNC NO WORK GOOD WITH NOTE 2. NO SHOW TEXT MESSAGES. BAD TIMES.
"Wonderful Sync" appears to be doing just fine, thanks. If you don't have anything to contribute to actually fixing my problem, stop responding.

It works just fine on my SYNC....GFY! I was trying to help, and did offer a suggestion.
I figured I'd go ahead and bump this and see if anyone had any thoughts on this issues three months later. I've even rooted and ROM'd the phone hoping I'd find support from the aftermarket but Clean Rom, Eclipse and Cyanogen are all no joy.

Have you tried this rom. It indicates it has MAP support but from CM so maybe it won't work. I'm trying the same things on my Nexus 4 with Ford Sync/Touch. I can live without it, but it sure is hard to sit next to my husband with his iphone which does work with MAP. My Sync software doesn't even have the same settings (that I've been able to find) as the manual shows: "Advanced phone options; Enable MAP." Good luck. I have made requests on several Google threads that they re-instate their previous BT stack which apparently had MAP working before the latest updates.

I almost wish you hadn't pointed that out to me, haha, but I'll flash it in a day or so when I get a chance. I wanted to keep a Touchwiz ROM so I could keep S-pen and particularly multi-window, but I don't really use those features as much as I thought I would when I got the phone, so maybe it won't be the end of the world to not have them.
The whole situation is really puzzling, every piece of documentation I've found states the Note 2 has MAP support out of the box. My vehicle is a 2010 so it's the pre-MyFordTouch, but I have checked with Ford and they've stated it supports MAP, and what REALLY boggles the mind is the Droid RAZR MAXX I had prior to the Note 2 worked perfectly with it, so it's not like I'm asking for something I simply can't have or that hasn't worked before.
Making the situation even stranger is I had a loaner vehicle while the car was in for service, which was a 2012 MKT with MyFordTouch and it worked absolutely perfectly with the Note 2 for the few days I had it, text messaging and all. It's different software than on my 2010, but now I'm not sure who's really to blame, Samsung or Ford.
Oh well. Maybe Motorola will step up with a 5.5"+ screen and a MAXX battery when it's time for me to get a new phone in September and then I can have all the things I want in a phone.
my toro never was able to show SMS messages, and even my stock note 2 couldn't ... got rooted, and put CarbonRom, no joy. Using Jelly Beans ROM. If I get an SMS on the phone, I might see it... just flashed it this morning cause CarbonROM (as of 19 March 2013) didn't have a working tether (without third party software).
Showing SMS texts isn't a deal breaker for me though... sorry your phone doesn't work. I will say Ford Sync has been pretty awesome for streaming audio, and phone calls though. I had heard from my dealer that I shouldn't update my SYNC in my 2010 Fusion Hybrid, as there have been further issues with the software updates. The dealer suggested that there were updates that could be applied (as opposed to the failed 'at home' updates that I attempted to apply with no luck). And I don't want to fix what really isn't broken.

This info has to help. Have an HTC m one 8 and Sync.
All features worked fine for 1.5 years. Phone did a system (os)
upgrade and now receive same text message error. Hope this
helps steer the trouble shooting. Please let me know if you
find anything.
I'm not sure if this problem is isolated to me or if it affects everyone, so I thought I'd ask.
tl;dr: text messages don't persist on the phone, and in Google Messenger in particular, outgoing texts don't display as part of the conversation.
I use Google Messenger by default, and I noticed that none of the text messages I sent were appearing in the conversation history. Turns out, they weren't reaching the recipients either.
I switched to Google Hangouts, and all of the texts I received from (and sent to) other people before my upgrade were present, but any texts I received from others were gone.
I tried deleting and reinstalling Google Messenger, thinking maybe it was a version/cache thing, and again, any text I received before the upgrade was present, but none since the upgrade, including any I had received while using Google Hangouts.
Something definitely seems f%@#ed up here. Am I alone?

Same here. Verizon's messaging app works though, and actually seems half decent.
Yep just got off phone with VZ support and that is the workaround (use Verizon Messages Plus) they are doling out as a fix to the problem, says tech will be getting in touch with Sony for fix and may be another small update for it.
Lots of reddit users are having the same issue. If you're up for it, it looks like a factory reset will fix the problem.
Had to do a frigging factory reset, but all works well now

FDR sucks, wife will not be happy. I have a replacement phone to activate replacing the one I just updated, so will activate then do factory reset.
Bites.
Is anyone else having tissues access visual voicemail?

Did a factory data reset on new phone after update, takes a long time to boot sets at check mark screen for several minutes, standard text does work now.
Factory reset does fix text
I haven't had many phones. I'm assuming this doesn't happen to often, cause this is crazy. What if only 10% of you having update issues needed your phone for work? How can companies stay in business doing this kind of thing?

If it is a company supplied phone I would think that any modifications would be forbidden, any good IT department would be on top of any shananagans as such. I'm IT for the corporate office I work at (don't be impressed, I'm the office Alphageek and won the title by default.) and when corporate supplied the phones they maintained tight rein over the units. Now we are "bring your own device". As such if your phone is critical for your job and you bork it I would expect corporate to tell you to fix the problem ASAP even if it means buying another phone.

That must have you hopping all over the place like a rabbit trying to fix everyone's issues. But I was speaking more about Verizon's consumer base relying upon their phones in general.

My bad, I see your point now. For an official update this one has created a world of grief for many that installed it via the "official" route. Usually a factory reset is a last resort to many and apparently for this update it looks like a required step.
[EDIT] Just checked the official Verizon forums. People are struggling with the same problems that are being posted here. It looks like a couple have figured out a factory reset works and are trying to spread the word, there is very little Verizon help showing up.

A few years ago it did back when we were running a mix of name brand systems (Dell, Gateway and HP). I would say it occupied 30-50% of my time, since then we have standardized on Dells running Windows 7. That is a bulletproof combination in an office environment. I know everyone bad mouths Dells but since we with Dell/Win 7 my workload has dropped 90%.

I think the textra app also works if you would want to try that before resetting.

Thanks, but already did the FDR, wasn't to bad, just time consuming. FDR does fix the problem though.

Do you realize that the text issue is completely unrelated to any "modification". This phone was "borked" by a VZ-pushed OTA. I had to do a factory reset last night, lost my corporate e-mail set up through Touchdown. I also missed communications previously, while I was unaware of the texting issue. Those texts are just "gone" now. This is very poor form on the part of VZ, not even checking that texting will continue to work after users upgrade.

I wasn't implying you goofed up your phone, just following up on AddictedtoGlass's comments, sorry if it came across that I was.
Yeah, this update does seem to be causing more grief than usual. That may be keeping with the comments I stumbled across in Verizon's forums claiming that the code sent to Verizon by Sony wasn't "up to snuff" in Verizon's opinion and that is why Verizon sit on the update so long. Looks like they should have sit on it a little bit longer. I'm on 5.0.2 and my phone is pretty stable so I'm content to stay there until this is all straightened out, if ever.
I have been trying to find more info on Verizon's community forums but they have managed to make their forums so hard to navigate now that finding particular threads is almost impossible. I guess that is one way of controlling the flood of complaints.
