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

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".
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 have the same issue with my One S, it will connect and disconnect from my Cadillac SRX, my Galaxy S2 had no issues. What is up with this phone.
Yeah tell me about it....my Lamborghini Aventador is doing the same thing

That's weird, my 2012 A3 doesn't have this issue. Do you have the nav system or the base console?

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.

Has anyone tested out their Nexus 5 with Ford sync? I'll post up when I test it on Thursday, hopefully we get all the features like reading texts and meta info.
Edit 11/8/2013: SMS through Ford Sync works! It can ready them out loud, or display them on screen. Here is a one minute video demo:

I can't comment on Ford, but on Honda. When I connected my n5 to the Bluetooth it had new permissions such as reading text, which never was shown with the n4. So maybe something new in kitkat made it work?

The Nexus 4 was horrible with Sync, for some reason GPS wouldn't work unless you rebooted the phone.

Bluetooth is jittery on my side but the receiving party on the other side can hear me clearly. I have a Ford Sync. This is very disappointing.
I setup my phone with ford sync this morning. So far no issues. I did not make or receive any phone calls or texts however.
I'm testing mine today more thoroughly. It did say that "this phone does not support the MMS feature" so FORD better hook us up with an update or they might as well call it iFord Sync.
No problem in 2012 edge

Can someone confirm it reads and will send SMS messages? Or does everything through Sync send as an MMS?
Sounds like it receives and dials calls fine, but if texting also works, I may upgrade. The Nexus 4 currently does not support any texting features.

I have a 2011 Fiesta and I can confirm that the GPS works with the N5. Also I now get SMS notification on the display, but can't figure out if I can do anything else with it (read or send).

When I requested directions, I couldn't get a lock on my location, so directions could never commence. (I think the Fiesta has a different Sync system where you have to call Sync and it sends via your phone the directions.)
2013 F150 Contact Pictures?
Has anyone figured out how to get your contact pictures to show up in your address book?
I don't have my nexus 5 any more (moto x) but I don't think it's possible for contact photos to show up. I can't get music covers to show either. I think the pictures we use for both those things are too large and Sync doesn't know what to do with them?
A good test would be to make some testing contacts with different size contact phones and see if one works. I'll give that a shot tomorrow.

Is there any possible way you could help me out? I have a nexus 5 running the newest version of KitKat, and I just updated my ford sync this morning to the newest version. I have the ford sync my touch whatever, the top of the line sync system and my phone is T-Mobile. When I connect through BT, I can play music fine but it will not do texts, it just says it's incompatible. What carrier are you with? Is your n5 rooted? If so what ROM and kernel version? Also are you using hangouts or did you add on the aosp SMS app? Please help I'm so bummed right now
I have Ford touch sync on 2013 cmax enerji and n5. I am rooted (stock/franco), but MAP was restored with kitkat. The ability is software dependent not carrier. I'm on gophone. You may have to delete phone and re-pair; possibly even reset sync. I use hangouts. Mine seemed to lose text ability a few weeks back. For me, just deleting phone worked.

Anyone else having an issue with BT MAP support? Running stock rooted, connected the phone via BT to my 2013 Ford Taurus SHO. The phone asks for permission for the Sync system to access calls, messages, etc. However, when I get texts it almost never shows them on the Sync system. I tested the other day and of 10 texts, only 2 ever came across the system. The same car has no issues with an S4, my old Nexus 5 or several other phones. I checked the BT settings on the OPO and messages is checked. Wondering if this is a CM11S issue because the hardware should definitely support it.
Hi everyone,
So I've been using voip.ms as my phone service for a few years now, and the native SIP client on Android has always worked like a charm on my previous phones (Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexuis 5X).
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S7 G930F, and it seems like the native SIP client is broken and not working properly.
I got to configure the SIP settings by following this guide, but it seems like I cannot get outoing calls to work (incoming calls work perfectly).
Whenever I make a call, I cannot use the volume controls (stuck at max volume), and when the other party answers my call, they hear a loud strident machine sound, but they cannot hear me at all. I can hear them, but the sound is really choppy.
I've tried factory resetting the phone, I've also tried using the Google Dialer, but the problem persists.
Normal calls work just fine, so it seems like this has something to do with the SIP stack.
My questions to you guys are, has anyone had success in using the native Android SIP client on their Samsung Galaxy S7 phone? Has anyone experienced the same issue?
I'm now using Zoiper for making VOIP calls, but its implementation of Bluetooth car controls is broken. That's one of the reasons I liked the Android native SIP client so much: it worked perfectly out of the box on my previous Nexus phones.
Thank you.
same problem here, with the addition that the noise also occurs on incoming calls, thus making the internal SIP client useless. It was working fine on my S5mini (an otherwise crippled phone), and I have the exact same setup on the S7. I tested safe mode and uninstalling a call recorder app, but to no avail.
Samsung, I bought your premium phone, so get this fixed!

Same problem on my S7. CSipSimple works but without the native client integration I cannot use BT.
Im using Canadian Exynos if that makes a difference. Anyone who has tried the Nougat beta, does it fix it?
the problem seems to be fixed after upgrading to Android 7.0

I have 7.0 (stock rom) on my A320FL (Galaxy A3 2017) and i'm still having this exact problem with the native SIP client I hope they fix it on android O or i'll have to wait for a custom rom to be released ;-;
s8 active choppy sip sound
Incoming calls are working but outgoing have choppy sound. I tried different codecs on freepbx side but still the same. Any updates for better sound quality?
for whatever reason (one of the last updates?), internet calling now works on Samsung Galaxy S7, Android 7.0, G930FXXU2DRA9.
updated to Android 8.0 today. VoIP connections not usable anymore. After installing "Galaxy SIP Accounts" I can again edit the connections and send and receive calls, but the connection is completely silent - not even the cracking noise I had for a while with Android 7 before it magically disappeared.
Any ideas what to do?

It works fine on S7 & Oreo with my provider (odorik.cz). Already did a few calls without any issues.
one day later after installing Zoiper but not changing any phone or network settings, the native client is working again... quite strange behavior...
SOLVED - Problems with VOIP Client
hi there,
since this thread helped / enlightened me, i thought i contribute some observations of mine.
Used hardware: Samsung Galaxy S7
Aprox. one and a half year ago i started with VOIP and of course as a newbie i did it with apps like Zoiper IAX or CSip Simple, but never was really happy to have to use an extra app for phone calls.
While later i discovered the both apps "Galaxy SIP accounts" and "Galaxy SIP settings" in an article, downloaded them from playstore, setup them in a minute and was totally happy.
Was glad that i could remove those other apps then.
Because my S7 starts to loosen its display now, i got myself another one and because i now knew that those two Galaxy SIP apps worked perfectly i installed them from the start being extremely disappointed about echoes and heavily distorted sound.
Then read this thread and thought i'd give it a try (because couldn't get the built-in client work properly anyway) and installed zoiper, did my phone call and everything worked smoothely.
Then i remembered that on the former phone i had external apps installed before as well.
So to me it seems that, at least on the S7 with Nougat/Oreo those external apps change something and make the hidden client work properly which can then be utilized with the two Galaxy SIP apps.
Now i have deinstalled zoiper but the VOIP client still works fine !
Hope my story gives useful information to someone as well
