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. It's just so strange because all the pieces are in place - Sync requires MAP, the bluetooth profile loaded on to the Note 2 includes MAP - but clearly something is putting a stop to it. 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.

I have a 2012 explorer with sync. Messages work fine. Delete the phone on sync....re add it. Make sure you allow all requests from sync on your phone when it reayncs the first time. Trust me.. it works.

Yeah, no, it really doesn't. The only request I get from Sync during the pairing process is for phone book and call history. I've unpaired and re-paired the phone multiple times to no avail. Glad it works for you, but "trust me," it doesn't for me.

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.

Lol, whoa... settle down.
Works for me in my 2012 Focus.
Worked on my Galaxy S3, too, when I ran it stock.
Also, it wouldn't have worked on a stock Galaxy Nexus because MAP is not part of AOSP. Some ROMS did have it built in, though.
Have you tried a Reset on SYNC?

I wasnt running a stock GNex.
Trying to find helpful information on the SYNC side is frustrating. MyFordTouch vs SYNC with navigation vs plain SYNC. Then throw in the different software versions for each hardware version and on top of that trying to decipher which ones are capable of a software upgrade.
Maybe Samsung and Ford finally collaborated on the 2012 models? My F150 is a 2011.

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

Sorry but that other dude was just annoying me and not helping me in the least. It's fine to not know the answer, but just admit to it and/or don't post, preferably the latter. Unless you have the same car and phone, what worked for you is completely irrelevant to what will work for me. You at least have a suggestion, too bad it didn't work.

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.

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.
So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?
New to the forum, I originally posted this here
neowin.net/forum/topic/1163306-android-notifications-woes-with-whatsapp/[/url]
Which eventually led me to post here so.
Edit: just figured this is posted in verizon gs4... is there a forum for international unlocked 9500? would a mod be so kind to move it without deleting this?
Hi Everyone
I am not new to the forums, i have been reading it for a long time but decided to join today because i don't know if anyone has ever experienced something like the problem i am having.
Whatever i type in my phone whether it is a text message, a whatsapp message or a google search appears in a friend's phone 5000 miles away
Here is a little bit of a history. This friend logged in to his facebook etc from my phone when his phone got stolen in Brazil back in January. He then got a new Samsung Galaxy s3(the problem didn't occur with that new phone) then he switched to an S4 1 month ago. After he switched to s4 he says everything i type shows up on his phone. He lives in Tirkey i am in USA. Somehow these two phones are connected but i don't know how.
Has anyone ever heard a problem like this?

Never heard of it.
Does he format the S3 ? Try to remove his gmail and it should be fine.

He is my best friend and i have known him for 25 years. He sent me screenshots from his phone. For instance my searches come up in his search history. My text messages are in his messages folder. He sends me screenshots every night showing the searches i made that day. Or the messages i sent. He can't see the responses i get but everything i type in my phone is also in his phone.
I don't have teamviewer on my phone. But i know how it works and this is not it. One thing i could think of is Google + and Google Now. Somehow Google or Samsung connected these two phones

He never used his gmail on my phone, just facebook. When i look at the accounts on my phone there is no other account but mine anywhere.
Format your phone install stock rom dont log in to Google and test by typing a text message .

Not to startle anyone, and this does not apply to everyone, so this is just an FYI.
If you even simply just open up and log into a Banking app on a rooted android device (ex. Chase, Amex, Capital one, Wells Fargo, etc) There is definitely a back-end flag.
I called Chase about an issue related to Text Notifications months ago, which I wasn't receiving every time my card was swiped, even though was previously working. The phone rep was talking out loud looking through the notes, and she blurted out "hmm the app is compromised on one of the devices, such as a root or jailbreak" She was older and had no clue what that meant, and I played dumb like I had no clue either.
She transferred me to a higher up, and the solution ended up just to completely remove my phone number from the site, and re add notifications (besides the point). So the jailbreak/root had nothing to do with it, but besides the point.
So bottom line, not sure if this could affect anyone or anything in the future, but more of a heads up. I wonder how this would hold up your account is truely compromised in some way shape or form, and they wouldn't want to reimburse you. Even though it would have nothing to do with the app
Yeah we've pretty much known about this for quite a long time but good to know some of the reps still don't know jack, lol.
