RAZR MAXX HD Contacts not transferring via BT to car.. - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

like the title says, my contacts won't transfer. the phone pairs fine and works great via BT, but the address book won't transfer. the phone gets the request to transfer and i approve it but no cantacts are available on the car side. I tried this with both ICS and JB, no luck....
any ideas ???

double post..sorry...

Anyone ?? I noticed i can't stream thru BT as well. But the contacts issue sux. Never had a problem with OG MAXX.
Currently trying to sync contacts from MAXX HD to 2012 Sonata w/premium sound.
Would using a custom rom help??

A custom ROM won't help.
Unpair the devices.
Now try the whole process again. you will get a popup on the phone that asks if you want to allow the car to access your phone book.
Select the box that says don't ask again, and click yet.
Now every time you connect it will get the phone book.

I use Spalshtop HD daily. Never had any issues. I don't really put my PC to sleep, so I haven't run into that issue. You might want to consider contacting Spalshtop support about that one. As far as the app on my TF goes, it's never crashed on me. I just used it about 20 minutes ago. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing? Are you sure you have your ports set up correctly?
thanks for reply,
ports have not been touched, it's default setting am using, what should there be?

I'm not saying you need to change any settings, but your router's firewall may require you forward a port for it to make a connection. For instance, I have my router set up to use port 6783 for Spalshtop. Not sure how I decided on 6783, it's been a while since I set it up.
maybe you using splashtop version on tablet and pc diffirent, you can try download or using another vesion on pc. It work to me

Check that both the client and server parts are right up to date is all I can think. Like others I use splashtop on a daily basis with no issues. In fact I think it's great. I have it running on pcs and laptops, phone and transformer and have never had a single glitch.
Oh actually there is one issue but I ignore it. When I connect to a freshly turned on pc and login splashtop loses connection right after login and then I have to re-connect. Anybody else have this?
thanks all for advice,
am using the latest splashtop on pc & also tablet. Funny thing is that itwas workin fine at first then started messing up?? wht about pc sleep issue? pc does not sleep (mode) when splashtop is running, i have to turn off splashtop. I thought the pc should sleep cos thats the whole issue of having wake-on-lan function?
av just realised...splashtop is crashing/closing when am switching between folders etc. So each folder it would close. When am playing a video it would just stay closed (instantly shut down) until i turn the video off on my pc, then is back to normal.
Would be helpful to know what you are doing when it is crashing. The only thing I use mine for is to do a botcheck in a game instead of keeping my laptop on my lap. I have never had this issue. Maybe it's something else you are trying to do. When specifically is it happening. Splashtop will want to know all of this when you contact them anyway.

as mentioned above, it's crashing when am switching between folders, so if i want to go into picture folder then it would shut down for each folder. re-start will take me to next folder....hope that makes sense

What you are saying is clear, but it isn't a common problem. Since it appears to work for everyone else, there must be something going on with your particular setup. It could be on either the PC or Transformer side. Your probably not going to get a great deal of help with the PC side of things here. As far as your TF goes, what ROM are you running? Have you tried performing a full wipe and re-flashing your ROM? Are you even rooted?

hi, yes i am rooted using revolver..Splashtop works fine on my iPhone but just on TF it's not working..i'll try the wipe & flashing but can't really be bothered to re-set the whole thing again. thanks anyway
I will admit that i installed the splashtop streamer on two of my computers, both windows 7 with similar software. One of them it works perfectly, the other one it constantly goes off and on, and good luck trying to connect to it. I figure there is a software conflict with something. I could never figure out how to blank the screen when you connect so I just switched to 2x remote. i have not tried the HD version either, though it uses the same streamer app. I would try removing some programs from your startup (msconfig) and see if you can get it to work better.

[MOD by APP] Nebtop - Universal HDMI Webtop hack

This MOD by APP is different than the existing MOD by replacing system apks:
1. No risk of brick
2. Ease of use
3. Universal hack for phones and ROMs that has Webtop
Since this app is intended to support multiple devices, see the original post from the Razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404625 .
Please report the test result in this thread. Whether success or fail and your device, ROM, etc.
It'd be nice to use the "Send" option in the app if it failed.
Thanks!
Nice find! I hope this does work.

great work.although my Atrix2 is soft brick,.
Hope there will be firmware upgrade soon so that you can recover from it.
This is also why I tried to do this for my own use in the first place. I'm afraid of soft bricking the Razr too.

I think fantasy_gu is saying that he would love to try this but his phone is already softbricked from a previous issue
Got myself an HDMI cable today finally
I installed the mod on my Stock-rooted Atrix 2 and I can confirm it is working
The only thing I missed was the by the Webtop-help advertised "Entertainment Center" (This would probably be the more useful feature for me personally )

As a person who has used this!!!
Just a word of warning:
This app totally screwed up my phone. I installed it and was using it just fine for a couple of hours. Then all of a sudden, the phone becomes unresponsive. I unplugged the HDMI cable, and it rebooted. I didn't think anything of this. Just found it a little odd. Since then, any time I reboot the phone, it is reverted to the same state it was in right before the crash. The text message I had not yet read is re-received as new. All app updates are reverted. All new apps aren't installed. All new texts (since then) are gone. Apps are force-closing left and right. Be VERY careful with this app. I'm not sure it's really ready for prime-time, even now.
I know that you've experienced this a few days ago from my routine Googling but didn't know you haven't find a way back yet.
As from your original post, you were using Webtop at that moment and all in a sudden with the HDMI cable unplugged, then the phone rebooted.
At least a panic log is needed to verify whether this is related to Nebtop, or the stock ROM+Webtop.
As Nebtop has no listening of the HDMI cable plugging/unplugging event, it should had done nothing at that moment.
And your current state sounds like the file system is corrupted. If I have no way to fix this, I would try to backup the current state first, then try to revert to the stock. (not sure if Atrix 2 has any stock image leaked )
Finally, I'd like to help to identify the actual cause of the reboot, only if you could look up the kernel panic log at this location /data/dontpanic/apanic_console (this is the path for one of the Motorola phone, it could be changed for Atrix 2).

I already have the webtop mod posted by Fenny, what is the difference with this one? Does this one work through a runtime + mirror? It allows on screen touch and keyboad?
The feature of Nebtop is pretending the HD Dock.
The requirement to use Nebtop is a rooted phone.
The disadvantage of Nebtop is none so far, therefore the advantages are no persistence change, no intrusive modification to anything, no risk of brick.
Yes, like using the HD Dock, the on screen touch and keyboard is working by using Nebtop.

Can I install nebtop over my existing hack by fenny? I have no onscreen touchscreen or mouse control with the fenny hack. Also I can't seem to find the xorg.conf file anywhere, I'm on the supercharged v5 rom. Based on 2.3.6
I haven't tried personally.
Nebtop could only make it work if it would work for a real HD Dock.

well i installed nebtop on v5 supercharged rom and its working fine, replying now from nebtop using the on screen keyboard and mouse. only thing i notice is i cant use the mobile apps from nebtop, probably because the keyboard is using the screen. atrix 2
I'm not sure what do you mean by "cant use the mobile apps from nebtop".
Do you mean from Webtop? Have you watched the video I've made? Maybe I can imagine better if you would tell the difference(not can vs can't but some concrete examples....like when clicking on the "Phone Manager", there is no response....or the "Phone Manager" window is blank...etc) you see.

Phone manager was blank in webtop. I could see the tabs such as text messaging and adw launcher but no display. This was happening both when launching via nebtop and also via fenny hack. I did a phone restart and the problem went away so everything works perfect now.
The only other thing I noticed is the phone seemed to get extra hot, though the phone seems to run a bit on the hot side anyway so its probably normal.
One difference that I notice between fenny and nebtop is nebtop says connected to HD display and fenny hack says connected to HDMI cable. This is probably why the trackpad and mouse work in nebtop and not with the fenny hack.
Yeah, this and nebtop don't work for me. Nothing pops up so I can view my phone on my HP laptop. I did the adb push and stuff. No go. I don't get the option for Webtop.
At least, this is my understanding of this? To use it on your laptop without a dock-right?

Nope, this is so that you can connect your phone to say a monitor or TV with an HDMI cable and use the phone to control webtop.

[SOLVED]TMO One S Bluetooth disconnects every minute on Audi A3

I just got a One S last week, and everything worked great with my 2009 A3 until yesterday, when bluetooth started getting disconnected by itself literally every minute. After it cuts off it immediately reconnects, which would have been fine but the A3 makes a "ding" sound every time the phone is connected. I have tried to unpair and pair again and again, and to no avail.
Despite this issue, the connection is actually fine when in a call. It's only when it's idle. Also my Nexus S working fine with the car, and the phone works fine with my BT speakers....
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm going to call my local dealership and ask if they have any sort of update for the A3 since the One S is BT 4.0....
[SOLUTION/WORK AROUND]
Just unpair the phone, then when you pair it again, do not allow the car to access your contacts, and make sure to choose the "do not ask again" option. This is the only consistent solution I've seen so far.
Try to update software... Maybe there is the fix. Settings about phone system update

i had the same problem with my arc s and my '11 rs5 last year.the audi guy couldn't find any problem at the multimedia console. he offered me to change the whole console but the problem was still there. same problem on my girlfriends tts...don't know what audi was doing back there.
now on my new facelift rs5 bluetooth works like a charm
Maybe if you didn't have such a badass car your phone wouldn't hyperventilate and drop your bt con every 60 seconds.
I had this issue with SEAT Altea. It was in fact due to contacts syncronization.
To know if it is the case: unpair your phone and pair it again without accepting to share your contacts. then if the connexion is stable you will know that it's linked to sync.
I solved the issue by deactivating some phonebooks sources. I had 140 google contacts and 160 Exchange ones. Probably too many. By activating only the google ones the issue was solved.
hope it helps...

Yep I saw this on another forum and it worked like a charm. I dont really need to use the phone book anyway, as long as it can let me pick up phone calls im golden.
So, what was the actual change that solved the issues for you? We might want to take this into the FAQ. Did you disable the phonebook sync completely or did you just limit it to Google Contacts?

It was the phonebook sync. When you pair the phone to your car you should get a prompt on the phone that the car is asking for permission to access your contacts, just check the "don't ask again" button and decline it.
I also have a problem downloading contacts. I drive 2011 Subaru Outback with OEM Nav/Bluetooth. How do you select which contacts to sync? Where is the option for selecting/deselecting Google, phone...etc?
Thank you
Hi,
when not syncing your contacts is not an option: If you keep your android running with the navigation app (preventing standby) do you still experience disconnects? If this helps you can try my app "BluetoothKeepalive" from the market, it automatically prevents android standby when being connected via bluetooth.

Well I'm trying to transfer from my galaxy nexus to my nexus 10. Think I figured it it. I turned my Bluetooth off on my phone and then beamed it again and it works fine now. Try it out and see what happens.

Don't let the bluetooth be engaged!!
When ever nfc activates to share something, the bluetooth is activated as well. Most of the times when tha bluetooth turns on, it starts searching the paired devices to conect with. And in that case the bluetooth gets engaged and does not allow the nfc beam to complete..
You could either wait a little for the bluetooth to stop trying to connect with paired device.. Or just hit forget the paired device and then beam.
It should work as intended..

[Q] Message Access Protocol - HandsFreeLink

I have a 2013 Honda Accord which has an infotainment system that supports MAP. My phone asks if it wants to give it access, I said yes to all double checked in the settings that all are checked but it still doesn't do anything when someone texts me. It is supposed to Auto Read them and I made sure that setting is on on my car as well. This system should be the same as some Acuras as well.
Some additional info: When I choose select account it says this phone doesn't support this feature.
Same problem here with an aftermarket BT deck.
Has anyone got MAP to work with anything?
Works fine with 2012 BMW

Did you do anything special? Or does it just work after connecting it to Bluetooth. I fear this is a Honda issue but that doesn't make much sense since it does support some Android phones that probably had MAP before and the iPhone.
I received a similar prompt asking about the car accessing my calls and another about messages. Accepted both and it just works.
MAP was added to CM 10.2 awhile ago, and it worked the same on my LG Optimus G (basically a Nexus 4).

Anyone have any luck getting this to work? I get an envelope icon on my iMid screen, but an error message stating "the connected phone does not support this feature" when it attempt to read out the message. I have a 2014 Accord EX-L.
I'm in the same boat as OP. I've got a 2013 Honda Civic Si and a Nexus 5, and they don't work well together.
From my research on this, I believe this to be a flaw within the Hangouts app, and not a communication problem between the phone and the head unit. After playing around with it for a while (deleting the pairing profiles, repairing the two devices, clearing the system in my car, etc.), I noticed a few things that lead me to this conclusion. After a few connection attempts, the car only successfully read me one message. Afterwards, the text message functionality on my i-MID was selectable, but clicking the enter button wouldn't do anything. Checking my phone, Hangouts was also frozen. The phone was telling me (via ringtone and notification popups) that I was receiving texts, but I couldn't read them until I disabled BT and force closed Hangouts.
Is this a common problem that we are all experiencing? Can any of you confirm or deny these ideas? Also, which messaging app is everyone using (I don't want recommendations, I want to know if this is Hangouts' fault or not)?

I can confirm that my car's Nav system is able to notify me and then read SMS messages from my hangounts app on my N5 without any issues (Toyota). I can also send SMS messags from the car (thru' N5). Works fine, everytime. So, I don't think it is a hangouts issue.

I'm struggling with my Toyota... I have the Non jbl system with Nav. When I click on Bluetooth settings it doesn't give me MAP as an option to check (even tho I granted access to view messages) but I unpaired and repaired a few times and it did give me the map option and it still wouldn't receive my msgs

The message access option should have been there every single time (unlike what you described). I'd suggest deleting the pairing from the phone and the car, and to try again. If the problem persists, try to pair it to another car (Toyota or not) and see if it works with that. If it does, that means it is an issue with your car's system. If it doesn't (and the other car can pair to other phone's with message access properly), it may be an issue with your phone.

Went and messed with my dad's avalon and it worked no problems with his on the first attempt (MAP was there and it asked and was granted access). Going to try to repair one more time with my car before I take it to Toyota.

Kinda glad to hear that it is working ok with another car - but at the same time, I'm not sure how helpful the dealership will be (assuming the problem d1oesn't get resolved by re-pairing) - automotive firmware is basically written in stone - very hard to get them to fix it. They usually keep blaming the phone. Good luck.

Well you were pretty much right. They kept blaming my phone. So annoyed it doesn't work but not the end of the world. Maybe the Nexus 6 has a better shop

I assume you told them that it works with the Avalon - and they stuck with "it is your phone"... UGH! Funny how it works fine with one car, and not with another (even though both cars are made by same manufacturer). Yes, it must be using a different BT stack/hardware/software, but why not use the same one across the board? sheeeeeeeesh
