Hey guys, I upgraded to the Atrix from my Tilt2... I set up the bluetooth with my car (Audi A5) and the calling works fine but the car no loner imports my SIM contacts, recent calls, missed calls, and dialed calls list that my Tilt2 used to send over. Those options on the car are now just blank. Is there anyway to enable this? The bluetooth profile on both phones is just listed as "hands free". Is there any way to fix this or enable other connection profiles to send that data like my last phone did?
Thanks guys
I can pair my Atrix is my BMW 3-series but when it tries to download the phone book the BT connection drops. Sometimes I can start to make a call but it will drop the connection.
I can connect all my BB's and my HTC Inspire 4G just fine.
I think there is something wrong with the BT stack.

I think you may be right... I did some more online searching after the post and stumbled upon an Audi forum where multiple people have lost the ability on several different car models after moving to a stock android device... however, it appears things fix themselves with CM roms which may have a more sophisticated BT stack. I wonder if it's hopeless about having that capability until 2.3 or the bootloader is cracked?
If I can't get this fixed soon then I will be forced to return this phone.
How can they screw up something so simple??

I have this same problem in my Chevy Volt. Sometimes the phonebook works (but very slowly) but the call lists never work. Also seems to take a very long time to pair initially.

A lot of cars can only import the phone book from the SIM card. Not from any other application on the phone.
So if your phone book is in Google Contacts or some other application...you'll need to port it into the SIM card itself for most cars to be able to read it.
Return it. I have new A4 and atrix pairs fine. I actually think its the clearest device I've used in my car yet

fade?
"I have new A4 and atrix pairs fine."
And do you know WHICH phone book your numbers are in, or which phone books the A4 can pair with?
If his BT is connecting, and the phone is working over BT, there's no reason to think the phone is defective. yet.

It's not a BT Stack problem...it's an Audi problem (or BMW, etc...). The manufacturers need to program their devices for Android. The ability to grab contacts and such isn't a standard bluetooth handsfree device option. It has to do something extra. How it *handles* that extra something differs by device...which is why some don't work with Android devices.
On top of that, there's a dialogue when you first pair the device that asks if it should have access to your contacts, call lists, etc...that you have to "Allow" or it won't ever be able to get those lists. It's been the same way on every Android phone I've ever used. If you don't hit Allow within 10 seconds the dialogue will go away and never come back...unless you unpair and re-pair the device. Try doing this and seeing if the dialogue comes up. If it doesn't, it's an issue with the way your Audi/BMW polls for contacts.
BTW works perfectly with my Kenwood receiver.

"They" didn't. Audi/BMW did. They didn't spend enough time programming to figure out that Android handles contacts slightly differently. Put blame where it's due.

I have the 08' audi a4 and my contacts sync just fine, as do the missed calls.
" my contacts sync just fine"
SIM card contacts? Google Contacts? Exactly which or what "contacts" ?
Hi, new user here to searched and figured it'd be better to post in this thread rather than starting a new one.
I'm another Atrix user who is having issues with pairing the Atrix to a bluetooth car kit. I've got the VW Touch Phone Kit (rebadged Bury CC9060) which used to work perfectly with my previous Samsung Omnia as well as my partner's Samsung S8500. The problem I have was that with the 1.57 firmware, I could initially pair the phone and it would sync the phonebook up fine so that I could make or receive any number of calls without a hitch. But the issue was when I switched the ignition off then back on, the Atrix appears to pair correctly, it'll grab the phonebook but cannot make or grab any incoming calls. When dialing from the phonebook, it will initiate the call then drop out while the call still goes through. Incoming calls just aren't picked up at all. If I deleted the pairing and paired the phone up to the car kit again, it'd work until the first ignition off and back on again.
After I updated to the 1.83 firmware, this no longer works for me at all even though it appears to pair correctly and syncs the phonebook as well.
I've looked into upgrading the software on the car kit but I'm already on v0181 which is the latest for the VW branded kit. The Bury CC9060 kit has available a v0235 update but won't load on the VW kit as it does a checksum check. I'm looking at possibly editing the flasher to bypass the checksum check.
Has anyone else used the Atrix with this car kit and experiencing the same issues?
Thanks in advance

A quick bump.
I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one using an Atrix with this car kit...
I really wanted to buy a car kit, I was even willing to pay the rather high price. Then i saw tht the Atrix just "snaps it" with those two spring arms.
You know what happens in an accident? The phone will fly out as a missle. Good luck finding it, if you were doing 30 when you got slammed, the phone will still be doing 30 when it launches out of the clips.
If it doesn't hit you, you still won't be able to find it or call 911 on it.
So, nice dock, I'm holding off for something that can be used "in case of accident". For that price, I expect a more robust product, designed to survive. (Note to Moto, calls Mercedes and speak to crash safety team.)

I am not sure that the blame can be directed to the car makers not suiting the android configuration.
I had concerns about Androids paring car bluetooth, so when my wife got her Samsung running Froyo before i purchased the Atrix, I tested it on my 2010 A4 and it all worked faultlessly. All phonebook, dialled, missed calls & received calls. All her contacts are stored on the Phone too, not the SIM. It actually worked better with it than my old Nokia's, and my old iPhone 3G. All of which had contacts stored on the phone not the SIM.
Being in my car all day, I had to make sure it the Atrix running Froyo would work too, and that's why I tested it with my wifes phone before buying the Atrix.
I would have to say that the problem does have something to do with how the Atrix handles bluetooth. I have been having all the same issues that other users are having.
To be fair to the Atrix, I had only one problem when I originanlly bought it and that was loading the contacts from the phones storage, all the other options were working and it never displayed the annoying error message and it never dropped the connection either.
This has only started playing up completely since I rooted it and installed HeLauncher with Fancy widgets (maybe it's just a coincidence, but its unlikely i think IMHO).
I have since uninstalled the HeLauncher and Fancy Widgets, and yet the problem is still there, so I have no realistic reason why it isn't working anymore.
Because i work for Audi, I will check at work why this issue might be happening ( just with the Atrix not all the other Android phones) and see if their is anything that can be done to fix the issue.
Hi Staunch
I'd be very interested in what you can find out about this issue. I've basically got nothing out of VW and their official stand is that the atrix isn't compatible.

Ok, I have tried connectivity with the current version of MMI and it seems to pair up with NO error messages at all. It would appear at this stage that the new MMI generation have the "issue" fixed. I am still waiting for a reply from Service Technical Support to answer why the issue exists on the older MMI generations. It would appear that Audi in conjection with Apple focused their MMI setup for iOS, not considering Android OS's.
Will keep you updated once I have some more information about previous versions of MMI.
Blame the cars not the phone.
My phone works 100% well and perfect with my Acura.
I've also had fun trying to get my E46 3 Series BMW ULF BT module to talk to the Atrix - has no issues speaking to an older Nokia phone. Anyway after a LOT of experimentation I've finally pinned down the root cause of the problem, text messages (SMS).
I've yet to figure out the specific trigger but it is either the number of messages or something in a specific message it doesn't like. I figured this out because I noticed the envelope icon coming up on the BMW screen for 5-10 seconds before the bluetooth would drop out each time after connecting the pairing. Each connection only lasts 15 seconds at most.
Anyway there were 193 SMS messages in the car memory, maybe the 194th message was upsetting it. I deleted almost all the 1150 SMS messages in my phone and it was only when I got rid of all of them that it connected. I then had to manually clear the SMS messages in the BMW one by one (took a long while).
I then did some testing whereby I sent an SMS or two to my phone. I noted that the Atrix seems to periodly get asked to upload messages to the car. You can delete them in the car but if they are still on the phone, they come back shortly after. They always show as unread on the BMW unless you read them on the car screen. Reading them on the phone has no affect. Maybe the SMS side of BT headset support is borked on the Atrix.
So my conclusion is that while I don't know the detailed trigger specifics, for BMWs at least the Atrix Bluetooth issue comes down to SMS messages. My large contacts directory uploads in its entirety without an issue. The solution for reliable BT connectivity to the Atrix and a BMW seems to be in SMS message management. Get yourself a copy of SMS Backup from the market when you experiment.
Hope this helps others!

Hi there, I'm new to the xda forum so forgive me if I'm not making myself clear!
Basically what the problem is that when my watch shows the card for how long it will take me to get to work or home and I swipe across to see the map, the map is completely off! when I first got the watch it worked great, the when I updated it to 4.4W.1 it only showed me a part of the route. Now that I got a new phone (LG G3) the map is just showing me a random place!!! When I got the watch I was pairing it with a Nexus 4.
Has anyone else had any of these problems? and any idea how to fix it??
Same Problem here ! Also with 4.4W.2 and Nexus 5

However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my watch "Amazfit Pace".
My phone is a Nexus 6P and I use the application "Amazfit Watch"
When I turn off the watch, the wifi on the phone become extremely slow.
The problem is fixed if I turn off the bluetooth on the phone (but I need the bluetooth for other devices, so that's not a solution).
Maybe the application is always searching for the watch and disturbe the wifi on the phone ?
I'm trying to find a solution with Amazfit support, but they tell me not to repeat the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Settings>Apps>Amazfit watch app>Change system settings off
Check there, I had problems with BT turning on all the time and I had to turn off there, so it turns on only when I open application.
"When I turn off the watch, the wifi on the phone become extremely slow."
i don't get it
the watch doesn't connect directly (through wifi) with the phone , the bt is for that
the watch connects (through wifi) with your router and need the wifi for the update only (i think)
are you sure that your router is "ok" ?
do you have the same problem on different wifi / router ?
Thank you for your response.
I know the watch connects in bluetooth.
But when the connection is not made (for example the watch is off or I don't have it with me), it is the wifi used by my phone that works very badly.
Everything goes back to normal if I turn off the Bluetooth or uninstall the Amazfit application.
I haven't been able to test with another router yet, but all my devices are working properly with it.
Did you tried to do what I wrote you? Try that, force stop Amazfit app and hope on the best.

Thanks for your help, but it doesn't work any better.
Because of a battery problem, Google has just changed my Nexus 6P by this one which is a reconditioned one, and I wonder if it doesn't have a problem.
What bothers me is that otherwise everything works perfectly.
I didn't test the watch with my old Nexus 6P, too bad, it went back to Google...
Yeah I got the same problem!
The amazfit app has a very aggressive policy for bluetooth pooling. The wifi/ble are places on a single chip in our phones and they're sharing the same rf antenna. That's why it probably slows down wifi.
I have a xiaomi phone btw.
i have the same problem, i write to amazfit support and repply : "you are the firts person with this problem".
i have problem with samsung a3 , a5 and S7
with others phone do not have problem at all
any ideas?
Thank you for your answers.
I am reassured to see that I am not the only one concerned.
I have submitted the problem to the Amazfit support.
Hi, is there any news about this problem? Cause i have a same thing, then I turning on an airplane mode on the wach Wi-Fi is going down...
Hi,
I am still in discussions with Amazfit support, no solution yet. I just sent them the app logs.
I think everyone who has the problem should report it to them, so maybe it will solve the problem more quickly.
Hello, I have exactly the same problem, any news from Huami?
Thank you very much
I am still in discussions with the support, but they don't find the solution.
I encourage everyone involved to bring the problem to their attention as well, that may help to solve the problem.

I reported it directly to the development lead and team and we'll keep you posted on what we find. Thanks.

this is what they just told me:
"Hello Joan,
Thank you for the reply. We are apologize for the trouble.
Our tech support have already looked into this issue, and they said there is no problem with the app. Could you please wait for the next update of the app to see if the issue can be solved? Thank you so much for your cooperation!
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know. Cheers and have an excellent day!
Sincerely,
Seven | Amazfit Support"
Just had a month of banging my head over this strange behaviour. Even called ISP support to come check it, because sometimes it would even crash my router. Always at around 23h until about 7h the wifi would be like a crawl. Today I really took the matters into my hands and made some tests with network analyzers on the phone and so then began uninstalling apps from more recent to older. As soon as Amazfit watch app went away bang! everything began working, even a movie that had tried to start on chromecast and was stuck for more than 30min started playing out of nowhere.
Then tried to install it back again and issue started again even though it was disconnected from the phone. My first thought was that crazy chinese had put some creepy code at would start doing something creepy at night. Then I remembered that I had auto airplane mode from 23h to 7h! This is crazy! Airplane mode is useless this way.!
I'm going to open a ticket also. Not sure if this happens with every phone, mine is quite old. Sony Xperia Z3, could be only old chipsets, but could also be people just don't know whats going on and blame other things, because it is a really strange behaviour.
I just received a reply from Amazfit Support:
"Our developer team are working on this issue. Hope this will be optimized in the near future, but no dates have been set yet.
Could you please reset your router to 5G dual band to have a try? Thank you for your patience and understanding!"
So they are aware and trying to figure out what to do. I believe the workaround will work, because bluetooth is also 2,4Ghz and that might be the issue, but have to try later at home.
Wifi problems
Same problem here. WIFI on smartphone goes down when watch is disconnected (airplane mode, turned off, away from phone, etc). Reported to amazfit support. Big bug!
Bad news from Amazfit support, they blame the phone, and their only solution is "try on another phone":

Hello there,
Thank you for your email. We are very sorry about the inconvenience.
Our developer team argued that such issue maybe caused by certain mobile phones. Could you please try another phone to have a try? Thank you for your understanding!
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know. Thank you and have a nice day!
Sincerely,

I've got the same issue and just wrote a ticket through the app with screenshots from a speedtest app.
i've got an oneplus 3t with android 8.0.0
Wifi speed usually is 50 Mbit/s. If the watch is disconnected it goes down to about 5 Mbit/s. I can reproduce this behavior everytime I want to, so it's caused by the app.
May problem now!
After the last automatic update 2.3.7.0. original ROM, after a few km of activity, the activity stops, then start a new activity with no GPS information, very strange!
Has done this almost every time I go to train.
I already tried to deactivate all the alerts, pause, 3D data, but it remains the same. I'm getting mad.
How can I go back to the previous version or solve this? thank you
Pair watch again but do note restore old data to watch. If it doesn't fix the issue (keep all alerts and auto-pause off), then we will have to wait for an update... Many users reported the same issue.
ok, thanks

Did it work?
I have the same problem. I did the procedure of unpair, pair again without restoring old data and didn't work.
I sent a ticket to xiaomi describing with details all the issues during the last weeks. They asked me for a video where they could see the problem. I sent it. They asked me to do a battery test. I did it and was ok. Then they asked me if I had gone to a spa with the clock. I replied that I had only swum with him at sea. And the last thing that they have answered me is that the clock can not measure the RH in the water and that if I have any problem I explain the details to them !!!
Well, I had never asked about the pulse rate in water since the problems I detected are in running mode, walking and tennis and I had already sent several emails explaining all the problems in detail, the video, the tests...
I asked him to change the support person because I think it's a lack of attention and I'm waiting for an answer for 6 days
To be continue...
The solution is easy.
Reset and not make restore. Then turn off ALL notifications during the race and DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTON DURING EXERCISE until a new update comes out.
Work perfecly for me.
Just a question. Im new with the Verge. Im on a rooted OP3 with native OxygenOS.
The app dosent sync the HR. If i open the app the step will be synced (most times) but the HR is empty. I messure continius.
Regards
Hmmm. With the continious Setup the green LEDs in the back are not lighten up. Only manual messure are working.
It seems fixed with version 2.3.8
