Bluetooth MAP Profile

I have a Curve 8900 phone and recently upgraded to OS 5.0.0.822. The reason why I upgraded was that this new OS is supposed to support the Bluetooth MAP profile - which allows email to be "read out". However - after the upgrade (which went quite smoothly) - I went into "Options" -> Bluetooth -> "Bluetooth Options" and MAP was not listed as one of the services supported. The list included Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port Profile, Dial Up Networking, Audio Source, A/V Remote Control Target - but no MAP (Message Access Profile).
Could someone verify if this Bluetooth profile is supported on the curve 8900 with OS 5.0 (the documentation says that it does) and if yes - how do I enable it? Thanks a lot for your help.

I understand that this is a user forum, no one on here will know what Apple's doing and why.
However, some may speculate as to why MAP isn't being supported. Is it for security reasons for example?
With most new cars coming onto the market today offering additional services that require MAP to be supported in phones, (surely car manufacturers are talking with handset manufacturers and have a roadmap of products that will work together in the future), the it's either a 'miss' by Apple or there's a perfectly good reason for them not to support this function.
I'll have my car for 4 years and have been waiting for the iPhone 5, however now I have to seriously consider other handsets as I want a phone that supports MAP in the Bluetooth stack.
Is there anyway to get feedback to Apple and request additional features/ functions?
Cheers

Bluetooth MAP profile in Lollipop ?

Can someone advise if Bluetooth MAP profile is supported in Lollipop ? It was removed from earlier Android versions which is a pity since my vehicle communications system (Uconnect) requires this for displaying SMS's.

Wifi Plus Cellular and Bluetooth MAP Profile missing

I upgraded my iPhone4 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 6.0
Two of the main reasons I updated were to get the Wifi Plus Cellular option that was touted and the Bluetooth MAP Profile for text message support in my Acura.
Upon updating I don't see either of these options in the menus, and the MAP functionality isn't working as the Acura shows it as not being compatible.
Is anyone else aware if these were removed and/or will be fixed in a subsequent patch?

Wifi Plus Cellular is nowhere to be found. It was in the Beta version but removed from GM and the Release.

More text not working after using bluetooth map profile with bmw

Hello,
I am using my BB9360 in my BMW. Everything is working fine, emails, contacts, schedulke and tasks are displayed. But after leaving the car my BB is not able to complete an email (more text). After doing an restart (BB) the "more text" menu is working again. Disabling the email accounts in the bluetooth map options is a work around.
I swapped the hardware witth no effect.
I am running OS 7.1 Paket 1133 v7.1.0.336
Any suggestions or ist it a known bug?
Walter

I have exactly the same issue with BMW iDrive on a Dec 2011 M3 and Bold 9900 using the snap-in adaptor and bluetooth - but thanks for the workaround, was really doing my nut not being able to download more!
Would prefer a bug fix though of course - am up to date on latest versions for the 9900 on Vodafone UK, but I have an outstanding update on the iDrive which I will do and let you know the result.

Does iphone support bluetooth MAP technology

Does iphone support bluetooth MAP technology?
I bought a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee using Uconnect and it won't read my text message out loud.

iPhone does support the bluetooth MAP profile as long as it is iPhone 4 and later. Refer to article below for further supported profiles.
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support
The article also states that certain profiles have different responses to different devices and that is determined on both sides (the Jeep software and the iPhone). Depending on the software that Jeep is running it may have limited usability with the iPhone. Best thing to do is first, update the iPhone and see if that helps. If that does not work, remove the Jeep as a device from the Bluetooth Menu in the iPhone and re-add it. Third, get in contact with Jeep or uConnect to see if the iPhone is supported with the MAP profile. If it is, see if they can assist in getting it working correctly. A lot of car dealers will also help in getting it working.

HT204387 Does any one know if the bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) is supported in IOS6 for the Iphone 3GS ?

I have heard that this is now supported and that this will allow me to push the notifications to my BMW and to send SMS through BMW ConnectedDrive.

Allan,
Here is the link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1578 (bottom of page)
As stated below support for Bluetooth MAP in 4S and 5 is not the discussion. Is that the page seems outdated.
The issue is whether ios6 supports this feature in the 3 GS.

Using powershell to manipulate mapi profile and PST file locations

I have a situation whereby I need to move a bunch of PST files out of the default location in Office 2010 and change the mapi profile for the user so that the pst file location updated so the user doesn't experience any issues when launching Outlook.
My logic flow is as follows:
1.) locate All pst files referenced in the logged on users MAPI profile.
2.) Move these files to a another directory eg. c:\users\%username%\OutlookFiles
3.) Update the MAPI profile to point to the new location so that when the user launches Outlook he doesn't notice that the files have been moved.
I know how to copy the files using powershell etc. but how on earth do you query the MAPI profile to locate the pst files and then change each entry for a PST file to point to the new location.
Anyone got any ideas?

What you are trying to do cannot normally be done with a script due to a whole host of reasons including differences in versions and lack of access to a users profile.
!. Are you on Exchnage?
2. Have you redirected the users folders with Group Policy yet?
Outlook OST files are not movable without the use of a third party tool. It is far easier to just have the users create a new profile.
PST files that are attached in a user session can be moved using a script that can be run by the user.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Create Midlet for Bluetooth A2DP profile

Hello,
I'm a newbie. I would like to know if it's possible to create a midlet for bluetooth A2DP profile. If it is, please let me know where i can get information on this.
Thank you so much,
Ken

Now I'm facing the same problem with A2DP on my Nokia 6230 (original player doesn't support it) so I'm about to create my own player supporting this bluetooth protocol. I just wanted to ask you how far you've got with this.
Thx.

Bluetooth Headset Profile on IOS 4 Ipod Touch?

Has anyone checked to see if they added the Bluetooth Headset Profile (cellphone style Mike and Headphone) to the Ipod touch in IOS 4?
It wasn't there in 3.X (just AD2P for stereo sound), and I just wondered if they slipped it in unannounced is IOS 4.

Try a restart first (hold down the on/off button until you get the red slider and turn it off).
If that doesn't do it, reset it - hold down the Home button and the on/off button until you see the Apple logo.

Palm Pre lack of Bluetooth OBEX profile (NO FILE TRANSFERS!)

Great job palm.....
Always finding some small way to let your customers down.
Down anyone know a workaround to get the Bluetooth OBEX profile working or at least a way to transfer files wirelessly.
Thanks a ton (THE COMMUNITY NOT YOU PALM)!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

that sucks.....
my lowly Instinct could do it........and THAT wasn't a "smart" phone....
I guess the Pre isn't as "smart" as we all thought?
I'm sure it will be in a future upgrade.........(hopefully..)
it seems that Palm was in such a rush to get this phone out the door, they left out alot of basic functionality that most "lower" phones have.

Does Palm Pre Support Bluetooth SPP Profile?

I am a developer for a software company. I write all the application software mainly for Windows Mobile to control our hardware in the field using Bluetooth SPP Profile, or Serial Port over Bluetooth. Some clients have asked if they can use their Palm Pre phones to control our hardware.

Want to separate Stereo bluetooth headset profile ...

Hi;
I used to have in my windows mobile phone two profiles for my Jabra bt3030 stereo headset.
-(stereo headset profile) to be selected if I wanna listen to music.
-(headphone profile) to be used during my working day as normal bluetooth headset to answer calls only (however all ringtons/alerts/GPS navigation sounds been forwarded to the internal phone speaker)
In my Nokia E72 , firmware 031.023 . I have only stereo bluetooth headset profile. which make me always put on the headset during working days to be able to listen to the calender alerts, and notifications (as they do not go to the internal speaker).
Would you please guide me how to separately use either stereo headset profile (for music) or bluetooth headphone profile (for the calls only)???
Thanks

This problem is getting me down - Blue Jay headphones work perfectly with every other device and computer we own but cannot be found by our MB Pro (late 2011). This same MB is very difficult to pair with 2 other Bluetooth devices - taking several attempts each time and providing poor sound quality.

Does Nokia 6234 support the bluetooth PBAP profile...

Can you help ?
And, in negative case, how can I get the full list of Nokia phones that support the PBAP functionality ?
Thank you !

For the public record, here's the feedback I submitted based on Allan's suggestion. Thank you both, guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope others share their feedback in a positive way to Apple too.
I'd sure love to take advantage of Ford Sync's ability to read aloud and let me interact with bluetooth text messages by voice. However it requires phones to support the Bluetooth Message Access Profile (MAP) like Android and other phone manufacturers.
Humbly requesting this is something that gets added to a future iOS update.
It's not Siri I'm interested in, just this particular feature to allow the phone to interact with my vehicle by using the vehicles embedded voice and heads-up display commands.
Advantages:
(1) Gives one less reason for Apple people to stray to Google
(2) Saves lives too for those who refuse to not read/reply to texts while driving
(3) Keeps drivers behaving legally (outside of common sense, many provinces and states have enacted laws to try and protect people against themselves)
(4) A critical enterprise feature if Apple is attempting to continue to break into that market, most fortune 500 companies that have employees using fleet vehicles use Ford, but frankly other manufacturers coming to market with these features too.
Thanks for consideration around this feature. If you'd like to understand the use-case more or be pointed to threads in the discussion forum and 3rd party websites begging for this feature, happy to discuss.
Kind Regards,
Brian R. Kneebone

Bluetooth MAP SMS works in my vehicle but "reply" & "call" options grayed out

I have an iPhone 4S updated to the IOS 6. I have a 2012 Honda CRV that supports bluetooth SMS. The phone paired with the vehicle and phone calls work, streaming audio works and even SMS works. The vehicle does read the SMS messages well, but the options to "reply" or "call" are grayed out so it's not an option. But, I've noticed that when I get a text message from someone not in my contact list the vehicle system will read the text like normal but now the option for "reply" and "call" IS available. So when I get a text from someone in my contacts the vehicle can only read it but when I get a text message from someone not in my contacts the vehicle can read, reply, or call. Is this something with the bluetooth profile? It seems like something that can be fixed with a software update. Anyone have some insight?

My question doesn't not need to be taken as a question about the vehicle specifically. Yes I have this question up in Acura forums as well. I am looking to see if others with an iPhone 5 or iOS 6 have tried their MAP protocol on anything basically and wondering the results of their tries.
To recall my question: Does iOS 6 have MAP Protocol for SMS read back and reply in my vehicle? & On iOS 5 this was not supported but I have read that now it is. Has anyone tried this function?
