Guys this totally depends on Sync, not the phone. Depending on which version of Sync you're running will affect whether you can do this. The Sync website has a list of phones that work.

I am currently running the latest version of sync gen1 v3.2 .The ATT phones that are listed at Ford site, you can no longer get From ATT,That allow text. I have a Captivate, it is not listed because under bluetooth settings there is no box to enable text.the phones that work have a box to enable text in the bluetooth settings.Like the HTC Phones. So it does matter what phone you have. so my question is there any roms that have text in the blue tooth settings for the captivate?

Interested as well, my gf has a newer Ford and would like to see if my phone would work with it on Ford Sync...

I have an '08 Focus with the latest version on Sync available for it. I have yet to have any phone that will support the text features provided by Sync. But I have had success with apps that will read the texts out loud over the bluetooth. It's also a built in functionality from Froyo itself in the Voice Input and Output settings. Just turn on "Driving Mode".

[Q] Port the ooVoo app

There is a new app for Android, however it's currently not for the Galaxy Tab.
Think we can modify this like others have modified Skype and other apps, and get it working?
The app finally fills the area of Phone to PC video chat, so it'd be nice to get on the Tab.
Tango is working great for me. But I am not sure if you need phone functionality in order to use it as it integrates into contacts and asks for a phone number to verify your account. Even if the app isnt running, as long as your phone is connected to the internet, if anyone calls you, it will turn on and ring like a phone
I like ooVoo cause it will work with a desktop client too. But a Tab version is not expected till Q1 next year
I'm just looking for a way to video call desktops by Christmas. Using it to call people from far away, and such.

[Q] Bluetooth MAP profile and Ford Sync

Looks like the Skyrocket uses the latest and greatest Bluetooth stack which includes the MAP profile. My '11 Ford F-150's Sync system is supposed to connect using MAP and read text messages to me.
My previous phone, an EVO did not have MAP in its Bluetooth so if I tried to use that feature on my truck, it would simply say not available.
Well with the Skyrocket I'm able to send text messages through Sync but when a new one comes in I'm never notified and manually trying to check for new messages just says 0/0 New.
Is there something else that needs enabled on the phone?
CM10 works with my sync as of last night.

[Q] Bluetooth Message Access Profiles?

I have a One X with the 1.85 update and a 2009 F-150 equiped with Ford Sync. The phone connects to bluetooth just fine for calls and media streaming. I am having an issue getting the text function to work. Sync tells me that the phone does not support text which I know is incorrect. The function seems to work great with my wife's iPhone. I think the problem is with the one X. When I go to the Bluetooth menu under settings, then to the advanced settings, and click message access, it gives me the option to select sms or email then the option disappears. It still allows me to check message access which still doesnt work. Any Ideas?
after you update your should delete the phone from the car and sync it back up again...

Android Nougat and the Gear S2, does it work?

Hi all,
I wanted to let you guys know that the Gear S2 and Gear S2 Classic both work on Android 7.0 Nougat
I'm using a Oneplus One running 7.0.
The point I tried to connect the watch my phone denied it and told be connection couldn't be made.
After turning the Bluetooth on and off again I was able to connect my Gear S2 with my phone (Probably a ROM bug)
[Improvements]
Everything seems to work fine and I even saw improvements.
Since Android Nougat I am able to see pictures of whatsapp messages, I wasn't able to do that on Marshmallow.
[Bugs]
There is 1 bug, I'm not sure if it's my ROM or the compatibility.
When I browse through my quick launch apps I see the messaging app, the app to send and receive Sms with.
I never saw this app on Marshmallow and it worked!
The app isn't available in the application list, only in the quick launch widget.
Too bad, after adding the app the widget will reset itself or the messaging app disappear from the quick launch widget after a certain time.
You can re-add it and use it, it's just an annoying bug.
[So, does it work?]
Yes, The S2 as well as the apps you need (S health included) works fine, no problems at all so far.
And if I will find one, I will post it here.
Hi, is your device encrypted? I'm planning on buying the s2..but grew hesitant after reading that encrypted phones are having synchronization issues.
(Btw i'm on nexus 6p)
Thanks.
How about phone calls? I have this weird bug that whenever i get a phone call, the names would show up on the gear....but on the phone, only numbers... like i dont have the person thats calling in my contacts.
And my phone wont display names until I delete samsung apps that connects to my phone.
Are you getting the same thing too?
I have the V20 (now with android 7)

Contacts not syncing with car via Bluetooth

My wife has a 2010 Volvo, and her Galaxy S5 had no problems syncing her phone contacts with her car. With the Pixel, the audio syncs fine for phone calls, but her contacts will not sync. I've tried everything from resyncing, to forcing the contacts to re-upload, but nothing is working. Anyone having similar issues?
Same here
Nexus 6 Android 7.0 with 2012 Opel Zafira Tourer. No contacts sync, but missed/received/outgoing call lists populate with phone numbers though.

I'm not even able to sync missed / received / outgoing calls. Only the phone audio & pick up / hang up works.

Well, I work with audio and Bluetooth for a carmaker in Brazil (not Volvo). Since there is a 6 years gap between the audio and the Pixel, it is possible that the audio is incompatible with the way that the Pixel (or Android 7.1) manages contacts - which is probably different from the way the Galaxy S5 handles it. Remember that your audio is from 2010 and was developed with Android 2.0 ~ 2.2 in mind. If so, this could be solved by a S/W update by the carmaker or a S/W update on Google part.

This is exactly what I was thinking, but hoping there was a workaround. There likely won't be an update on Volvo's end, but I don't see why the newer phone software isn't backwards compatible.

There's an app called Bluetooth Phonebook which sorted a similar issue out for me on an HTC One M8. It's in the Google Playstore - might be worth a go?
Ive got the exact same issue with a nexus 5 running a csutom 7.1 ROM. Was fine with 6. Its seems as though Android 7.x has broken bluetooth integration.

I have the other way around with my Nexus 6P/Nexus 5X and a Volvo 2010. I get the contacts synched fine, but not the call log. It worked fine on Android 7.0 and earlier, but not with 7.1
