Ford Sync now appears to work - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

For those of you using the older style (mine is a 2010) version of the non-touch screen Ford Sync, it now appears that the AT&T One X will pair over BT without issue. On the 1.73 firmware the phone was unable to even see the system. Not sure if it was the OTA to stock 1.85 or flashing to CleanROM since i hadn't tried it again in weeks, but one of the two solved the issue.
Anyway, haven't tried playing media yet but phone calls work just as well as they did on my old iPhone.

I'm not having any issues with media play on my 2010 F-150.

Yeah, I assume it works fine now that i can pair. Did you have trouble getting it to work on the launch firmware (1.73)?

In my 2012 Fusion I haven't had any trouble. I just picked up the F-150 a couple weeks ago (couldn't pass up the deal) so I was already off 1.73 at the time. I can say that at times it does take a while for the media to connect. Sync just plain out rocks. Don't know if I could ever use a vehicle without it.

On my 2011 F150 the vehicle mic will not work. The speakers will but for the mic I have to have the phone close or speak into it. :-(

That's odd, mine seems to work fine. Do you have the newest version of Sync?

As far as i know.
I tried to update it, and i keep getting an error on the Ford SYNC website. They know they have a problem, but yet they say that there's no updates for my vehicle.
System used to work fine with my iphone. So i dont know if is SYNC or the phone.

Keep trying to pull that sync update. I guess its also possible that running cleanrom 4.0 made it work, but I kind of doubt it. Don't think the log mentions Bluetooth changes.
We almost certainly have the same Sync system, so don't give up!

My 2012 Edge used to give me grief and would not consistently pair either as a phone or music but since the OTA it hasn't been an issue.

Have to go to Ford sync website and register. They have detailed instructions. You will need a usb thumb drive.

I actually think I have not tried it again since the update will give it another try.

Hmm, the updates aren't that big. I did mine once using a 4GB flash drive but I want to say the update was less than 10MB... Make sure your usb drive isn't locked >.<

My HOX paired with my 2011 Fusion (w/o Nav) without much fuss. Stock ROM. I had to jockey around the bluetooth searching a few times to get them to see each other, though. Music streaming works well, too.

New Google Voice With Honeycomb Support

Finally, they updated GV to support tablets, and it finally has Background Sync as well. Just FYI. I know it's posted at the end of the other GV thread, but I thought it deserved a new thread.
If install fails, uninstall the modded version first.
Finally!! Google voice is amazing. But too bad I still can't make calls on the tablet. Sometimes I wish I don't have to bring the tablet and my phone with me to the bathroom Everytime.

What a pointless post. Why don't you give some relevant info, whether you have the modded version installed, tried rebooting, etc. It's made for HC, not hacked for HC, so any problems are probably related to older versions.
Awesome, been using the hacked version for a while now.

works fine for me. is there anyway to activate it besides clicking the app icon? I tried saying 'hi galaxy' but it doesn't work
Update: some features don't really work like when you need to set up an alarm or save a memo. I guess it's because we don't have exact apk for the s voice to pull up.
It works for me. But there's a long delay each time it tries to process anything.

I think I have frozen too many things, because svoice is getting FC after few seconds after start...perhaps text to speech?
I running stock just root access on att hox. I installed just like any other app. I got only one fc from asking it to play music. Navigation worked like a charm.

It's a little quirky, but it actually functions better than I expected it to.

No, you don't. Just tap and hold on the .apk file, in the opened menu scroll down and go to properties, from there you can change permissions.
Just leave check marks checked to:

I have found that Hulu will not work on a rooted device. I have it on y Xoom and had to return it to stock for it to work. I have not returned my phone to stock to get it working on it. I have not found a modded apk to work correctly on a rooted device. I believe I have tried the one listed in teh earlier post with little success...maybe i need to try it again.

Facebook Update?

Okay guys, so yesterday I started receiving a notification telling me that facebook has downloaded a new update and I should install it.
Only problem is that it's not updating inside of Google play, which I'm not sure but just kinda caught me off guard, and threw up some red flags in my head. I haven't actually accepted the update yet, but it literally shows right back up in my notifications if i clear it.
I have uploaded some screen shots as. I go threw each of the steps, which all looks normal for side loading apps. The very last picture is where I usually press cancel.
Anyone else getting this update? And is it safe, am I just being parionoid? Lol.
Thanks for any help.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I haven't gotten that one yet, but I did get an update for the People application a few days ago.
That definitely looks odd. I haven't gotten any notification yet. Apps shouldn't update that way.
I got that update notification also.
Weird beacuse never seen that kind of update.
It installed fine, but i really dont see any diff/
Is there a Facebook beta? That's the only time I've seen an app update like that, when it downloads new beta versions inside itself. But I've never seen FB do that.
I have no clue, but at least other are puzzled by it as well. I just trying to make sure it isn't malware or something along those lines. But that notification is getting mighty annoying lol

Uninstall the app, then install the official one from the Play store. That way you can be sure the app is legit.
you are not the only one getting this, as this has also been reported on here
It looks like something facebook is stating to do, but it might take a bit for everyone to start seeing it
