SMS FROM MOBILE TO TABLET VICE-VERSA
sounds cool, alas I am a sprint customer and have intergrated into google voice
just tried this between my dell streak and Iconia.
The items paired but wouldn't connect via Bluetooth, the textab app keeps crashing at this point on the Iconia.
Can't wait to see this working.

Yes. Unlike blackberry, it doesn't confirm the name before dialing, which leads to some misdialed calls, but overall it is very nice.
Great. Thanks!
Bluetooth dialing in Froyo is the same as the regular voice dialing app, just available via bluetooth. So I experience the same accuracy via BT now that I had via the phone's mic before.
Its not as accurate as Nuance on the Devour, X, BB, or LG feature phones, BUT its better than nothing!
So if this is based on the same function, can you instead if saying "Call Joe Shmo"..... Can you say "Email Joe Shmo SUBJECT Test MESSAGE blah blah blah".....
So you can email while driving without having to touch the phone (except for the send button)

I have 2.2 official, rooted (315) working with the performance upgrade.
Each time I get in to my car, although I have previoulsy paired the phone with the cars bluetooth, it asks me for the password, as if the phone doesnt store the it from one use to the other. Once I put the passord in it works fine.
On my other car it has paired fine and remembers it each time. I don't have to redo the password.
the thing is I was using Froyo 2.2 on my previous phone, an HTC Desire and didn't have this problem on either car.
Is this a phone or car issue and if it is the former, do I need additional software?
I have now flashed Steve's 1.5 Rom and the issue is still there.
What I do not understand is that the HTC Desire was fine on 2.2 but with the Streak it is there, I am asked to input my pairing password everytime I get into the car.
Does the Streak handle its bluetooth differently to the HTC? Is there an app I can use?
Has anybody had a similar problem?
Sorry mate no issues whatsoever with mine and the parrot mki9200 handsfree kit. I'd suggest fiddling around in the phones bluetooth options, and maybe delete the partnerships both on the phone and on the handsfree.
Other tha turning the bluetooth off and on there aren't any other 'settings' that I can find. Its there an equivalent 'tweaks' type as app as you get with win mo that might have some extra settings?

The only BT problem I've seen, is with mine...
318 "stock", no other mods.
If I have wi-fi enabled & connected to a wi-fi hotspot, or my home router,
BT conversations will cut in and out, until I turn wi-fi off.

now dont take my word as the word of god as I started androiding since yesterday in the evening only but:
when in car, activate the connection between your handsfree and your phone, then goto bluetooth settings in your phone, tap on the connected device, there will be a bunch of further settings (like what services it would use, etc.)
i think that in your situation however the best advice would be deleting the pairing details both from the phone and from the handsfree.
I usually don't have this problem with my parrot mki9200 handsfree kit, but I have experienced similar things in the past, but that was only when my phone spazzes out and error occurs. Can't remember what errors like but it's usually when random things start force closing and stuff, and the phone is due a full reboot (not forced to reboot but manually rebooted just to refresh the phone) or I need to repair for whatever reason. I either just have to re-enter the passcode and I'm off or when I try to repair the connection, it would connect straightaway without asking for a passcode, but then if I unpair the connection, the system would then prompt me to enter a passcode and entering the passcode would connect the devices together again (even though I'm trying to unpair them).
My advice would be to try doing a fresh pair by establishing a full and stable connection (so probably after you've entered the code and are connected) then unpair on both the phone and the your car kit, then power both systems down (car so the hands free kit powers off and the phone), then start them up again and establish a fresh pair connection and see if that helps. Other than that, I would suggest seeing if there is any firmware updates for your hands free kit cos it might not be fully compatible with the Dell Streak even if you are running 2.2 (I had to do this with my system as it would constantly randomly disconnect then reconnect itself but this went away after a firmware update).
My car s hands free its one of those with no settings, it's just there constantly on ready to pair mode and just adds any phone is in range if that phone is in discovery mode. Its just always like that so it never has a settings section, you just do it on the phone.
My two previous phones, an htc desire with 2.2 and a htc legend both connected flawlessly without any of the pairing issues.
I took the car to the dealer and he said there were no upgrades for it so it is really frustrating to think that the Streak is running the same software as the other phones but for some reason in its architecture it us not compatible with my car. The other annoying thing is that on my other car it works perfectly.

Yeah bluetooth can be a major pain in the a55
Sorry to say, but as an extreme measure, hard reset might resolve..
Dell Streak + Tapatalk =
If I use titanium back up can I quickly restore everything as it is here after a heard reset? What is the best way to do this?

A friend of mine has been nursing an old BlackBerry 8700G for many years now. Last week he decided to put it out to pasture and picked up a MyTouch 4G (due, in part, to my glowing review of the device).
He's not happy.
Some of his issues are the usual complaints which can be handled with a quick tutorial and a few tweaks here and there.
The real problem, though, is integration with Microsoft Sync in his 2009 Ford Escape.
The aged BlackBerry worked pretty much as expected with Sync but the MT4G does not. Making and receiving phone calls seems to work just fine but the SMS messaging features of Sync do not appear to be compatible with the MT4G.
This shouldn't matter, though, right? The "Genius Button" lets you send and receive SMS messages via voice control. Unfortunately, while he and I had both assumed that the Sync system would let him access all of the voice control features of the Genius Button (including full voice-control of SMS messages), we were mistaken. Sync doesn't seem to provide any mechanism for triggering a phone's built-in voice recognition system, thereby rendering the Genius Button features completely useless.
Now, I've never used Sync myself so I'm holding out hope that there is some kind of trick or software update that will get his setup working the way he wants it to work. Anybody know something about this that I don't or is he pretty much screwed?
Shouldn't have bought a Ford...
Sorry had to say it
I have SYNC in my 2010 Mustang, and to my knowledge it doesn't have the ability to forward a call button command to the phone like most Bluetooth headsets do. SYNC is more of a "command center" rather than a glorified BT headset in a car stereo, so it pulls in data and info from a variety of sources and you use the voice and button commands to access and control it. You would likely have to tell the car "Bluetooth Streaming" and have the phone playback information for you (unfortunately, the microphone won't forward anything so the handsfree profile will just tie that up).
If he's really, totally, and COMPLETELY hung up on that and still wants Android, I've read on the SYNC forums that the DROID, DROID 2, and DROID X all support SMS transmission through SYNC, including reading and replying. Of course, this might be mitigated by Gingerbread since it's supposed to be getting a new BT stack from what I've read. You know, or not.
Please post questions in the Q&A section.
Question, do they actually have Sync working correctly with their devices? I have a MT4G and am trying to sync with my 2010 Ford F-150. The phone book starts to download and then quits half way through and then the bluetooth causes the phone to freeze up and gets completely screwy. My Vibrant and HD7 do great....the MT4G not so much.

Mine works fine. My G2 would act strange with my Mustang until I figured out I had to disable WiFi before getting in the car. I'm not sure if it's just WiFi, or the WiFi calling app hanging or resetting the radio, but after doing that my SYNC system would download the phonebook and stay connected the whole time. My mT4G doesn't require this.
Edit: Just thought of this, but I'm using WiFi N at 5GHz at home now with the mT4G, whereas I was on 2.4GHz with my G2 and had the issues. Normally you get different radios for different frequencies, so I wonder if that's the case here.
hi
i would like to use my asus transformer as a hand free bluetooth handset
i paired my tablet with my phone, but it always said 'paired, but not connected'
i can use a app to do file transfer between my phone and the TR so i know that the two can work together
i just want to receive my phone call on my transformer..
someone can help me ?
thanks
this has been a common quesiton. from what we've seen, there is an app called syncsms to get your messages. As for taking calls, you probably would need to use google voice and forward your calls to the google voice number...
thanks....
Good morning all. I have 4 Sonos wifi speakers in my home, as well as an Amazon Echo, an Echo Dot, and Yonomi running on iPads and my cell phone so I can control what I listen to without always needing a tablet and the Sonos app running nearby.
However, if you've ever used Yonomi, you'd know it can be a little temperamental. It doesn't always seem to know when I ask "Alexa" to change stations, etc. It can be because of wifi disconnecting and reconnecting, etc. Bottom line, when I couldn't get anything to play on my Sonos this morning I thought "god, why don't have a device in here so when this happens, I can choose a favorite to play and just get it running again".
I have one of the old Dell Venue Pro's. It's in perfect shape, running 7.8, and generally works ok. But I hadn't tried purchasing anything from the store in forever. It has no sim, but is on my b/g wifi and works fine. But when I found an app I thought might allow me to control my Sonos speakers (it was $2.50, no Sonos provided Windows App I guess),I couldn't buy it. Made me wonder if anyone had ever gotten Android running on the Dell Venue Pro, or if there was some other way of making it a more "productive" device again.
And so I ask you, the XDA community. I've owned lots of Android devices and know how clever you all are. Any way I can download or sideload an app on my Windows Mobile 7.8 device and use it basically as a remote control for my wifi speakers when the need requires? Would love to reuse my old device that hasn't been used in forever otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
Well I definitely can't try or buy any apps. I wiped and reloaded the phone, setup my Hotmail account, then clicked try on the app I wanted to try... but every time it asks me for my country and birthday, I click accept or whatever, and it doesn't go any further. Just takes me back to the store and shows me other apps I can't buy.
