Ok, firstly my appologies if this is in the wrong place.
I've tried to find the answer to my question all day, and i just can not figure this out. I am a newbie to WM phones etc, ive had an Omnia since yesterday.
Basically, i hear a lot of talk about setting up your GPS software. Well, i can not even figure out how to install any lol!
I've tried google maps, which just crashes! It wasnt pre installed, i have a vody handset which comes with find and go (also dont work)
So, could anyone add me to MSN, or help me with getting some software onto the phone, then help me set it up?
I'm very desperate as i have a 4hour car journey tomorrow and would like this working.
Cheers

Hello,
after trying out the Galaxy S for some days now with the stock F3 firmware, I have one question/annoyance regarding the use in the car paired via rSAP.
It seems, that the Audi MMI 3G can synch only with the Telephone and SIM contacts of the Galaxy S. The contacts imported from Exchange or Google are not accessible from the car. The xdandroid I tried on my Raphael earlier did not have this behavior regarding the import of the phonebook to the car. There all contacts were imported after the phone had received them from the Exchange server.
Is there a workaround or possible other application, that solves this quirk? I have tried some other apps like TouchDown, but this did not make contacts other than those stored in Telephone or SIM visible to the car kit.
Having to manually Import the contacts to the phone as a static adressbook (export in outlook and import from sd) is not really what I would like to do, not even as a last resort. Maybe there is a way to map exchange or google synched contacts to the phone contact list or otherwise solve this issue.
Other than that, I am mighty impressed with this phone and the android system.
It would be great if someone could help.
Thanks, Chris
whoaw... major bug if true... this is standard bluetooth protocol build in Android.
It works with my Magic & my MMI.
Normally it takes a while (a minute or so) to send all contact/received/missed/dialed info over to your MMI.
What do you mean with "telephone contacts", doesn't that include the Google contacts after Google Sync?
Can you pair without problem? What firmware do you have? Tried with latest?

How did you get your SGS to work with rSAP? My understanding was that Android didn’t support this protocol. I’ve tried for some time to get it to work with a VW car, it will pair but won’t connect.

I wouldn't call it major bug.. annoyance at best, ill thought out, perhaps, but given that Samsung added a proprietary rSAP protocol to their android "flagship" shows, they generally know what they are doing.
To clear up any confusion regarding phone, SIM and accounts contact entries:
The phone can naturally sync with exchange, or similar, servers as well as the google account and will add those into the contacts application. If you go to optins in there, you see, that you can switch on/off the visibility of those as well as telephone and sim called entries. Thus the problem with these sourced of synched into the phone contacts being somewhat handled separately by the samsung (touchWiz?) contacts application.
The Audi MMI synches just fine and will pair both hands free and rSAP mode without problems. The permission to access the phone's contacts is asked and if given, the contacts are synched.
The problem is, that only the contacts named SIM and Telephone get to be imported to the MMI. Others - here, the ones coming from the phones earlier synch with either google or exchange are omitted. They are availeable in the contacts app from samsung, but they are somehow treated separately according to their source and not "spliced" together...
The idea is great, being able to switch on/off visibility of certain contacts according to their source, I just whished I had some more control over the process.
Touch Down, for instance, offered to copy the contacts imported over the air from exchange, to "telephone" - only in Touch Down "telephone" really means google, which does not help, because the contacts would have to be copied into Samsungs understanding of Telephone as storage location/type.
The contacts app on the 2.1 build from June of xdandroid did not handle the contacts separately regarding their import source into the phone. More nicely, also the categories given to contacts were properly imported into the phone there. Not so in the SGS contacts imported over the air from Exchange 2003.
If now, someone could find a way to make any contact set to be visible on the phone itself being somehow "replicated" in the telephone part of the contacts on SGS, the MMI would see them and synch them. Contacts added on the SGS and stored as "Telephone" (Phone, probably in English) when saving, get imported to the MMI. That was the starting point of my workarounnd thinking.
So in short, the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 has full rSAP and Bluetooth 3 and does pair with car kits and hands free units admirably. Contacts are synched between car components and phone as long as they are either labeled phone or sim according to the SGS contacts app logic.
Ideas, anyone?
Cheers, Chris

rSAP - Samsung proprietarily includes it - I was surprised myself when it offered this while pairing.
When pairing, did you check "always grant permission" on the Galaxy S? In my case, if not doing this, pairing and connecting would not go through at all. On another forum in German, someone with a recent VW system has it paired alright. I don't know the specifics so I wont make any guesses, but the flawlessness of the process in my case made me believe, that it should work with no problems generally...
MB NTG1 comand
I have a NTG1 Comand in my Mercedes, and the rSAP conection works like charme, with the SGS(2.2.1 jpy).
Only thing that not works is the PBAP so only my sim card contacs r listed!
edit: Now i saved all Google contacts to SD card and after save all V-cards
to the internal phonebook, so all contacts are on Google and on the SGS now.
Tomorrow i try to sync them with the MB comand again.

Just be glad you don't have an MY09 BMW with iDrive - Galaxy S and car do not play nicely at all lol, sometimes they pair sometimes they don't lol
anyone has a solution for this problem?
Hi,
In my understanding VW & similar premium systems won't synch any contact that has an email address. That automatically excludes google and exchange contacts. I synch my SGS to Outlook, and I'm looking for a way to synch only the phone numbers, no emails. Will keep you posted on my progress.
Cheers

havo you finally foud a way to sync exchange contacts ?
Hello everyone, i'm new to this site, just joined about 5 mins ago. And i see you guys mean business. I have an lg gw 620 and it has some malfunctions. After i bought it i started to explore it. I noticed that i can not send text messages, i can not download from the internet and my bluetooth is not working. I have went back from where i bought it since the phone has it's warranty , they kept it for 2 weeks and when it came back they told me i need a bluetooth ear thingy so i could send/receive data from other phones, i still can not send messages and i still can not download from the internet, the videos don't load either. Does anyone know how i could solve the problems by myself , of course with your help?Might it be that this is a software problem or a physical telephone problem? And another question, how could i make an animated .gif work on my wallpaper?
Thank you in advance !
Keep up the good work.
Hi,
I'm having some trouble connecting my sensation with my car. I've just got a BMW with idrive that's fully up to date.
On BMW's website it says the sensation is well supported (defently with address book anyway) and the version tested is 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4).
Everything connects and pairs fine, I can make calls, read emails and SMS but the address book doesn't work. If I watch the address book just after pairing, it all fills in fine (I've got about 200 contacts and they all show up) but after 15-20 seconds they all just dissapear.
I have tried flashing various different ROMs and as far as I can tell HTC Sense seems to be the culprit, cyanogenmod syncs the address book fine but doesn't support SMS or email sync (I'm happy without email but would like SMS)
oddly, flashing to stock 1.45.401.2 doesn't work.
This is my 3rd day of googling and reading forums... im starting to lose to will...
Anyone got any ideas?
Ah, figured out some more info on this.
If I wipe the phone (stock rom) and enter a normal contact in the phone it syncs with the car no problem, appears and stays forever.
If I then sync the phone with my exchange server, boom, it never works again. unless I delete the exchange account from the phone then un-then-re-pair.... the one contact stored in the phone magically works in the car again.
Fixed!
It all seemed to be caused by having spaces in the phone numbers. I removed all spaces from my contacts numbers and everything works perfectly now.
Posted the solution here for a sense of completeness.
What model & year of BMW do you have?
I ask because I have a 2007 335i, and I have not found any way to get contacts to sync with my car using any Sense ROM (including the stock ROM.) I do not sync contacts with Exchange; I only have created-on-phone contacts.
The car would sync perfectly with my old phones (an iPhone and a Nexus One, both stock and CM7), and will sync perfectly with the Sensation if I use an AOSP ROM like CM7, but if I install any Sense ROM, the car only acts as a headset -- I can use it to talk handsfree, but there's no dialing, contact sync, etc. at all.
Yeah, its a december 2011 320d (e92) with the second gen iDrive.
I'm sure you already have but have you tried removing spaces from phone numbers? or it might be worth double checking it, I know I missed a couple the first time I checked through them.
Past that all I can think is to remove anything unusual from the contacts... categories, labels ect. The notes field seems to be ok, I use that and it hasn't effected the contacts syncing.
hi guys'n gals
I read on this site last week on how to stop activesync on my HTC touch cruise but it didn't work...the phone keeps connecting to the internet w/out me knowing it and my carrier DTAC [i live in BKK] keeps eating my money each time. And it will not sync to this XP computer at all so i have no backups.
So today I just went back into the Activesync options and unchecked the boxes which it was always trying to sync to...contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. Now it deleted all of those.
HELP!! Please, please, there must be a way to get back my contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. I've searched the forums and can't find anything relevant. I've also searched thru the phone's files system but to no avail...tho I am a self proclaimed tecknodork so...please help as there were a ton of contacts I'll never get back and my chemo appointments are kinda important too!
Thanks in advance
