Does the GSM version of the Pre support the bluetooth rSAP profile?

Hi All,
Prospective Pre owner in the UK here. 
I've got a VW that has the latest premium bluetooth car kit. This means rSAP connections only. Sadly, this rules out a host of phones, as they don't support rSAP (iPhone being the main one I can think of).
Can anyone tell me if the GSM release of the Pre will support rSAP?
Failing that, does either the Sprint or Bell versions support rSAP?
I've seen this question posted here before, but there was no answer, hence my repeat request.
Thanks for your time.
Andy.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I've managed to speak with someone at Palm in the UK and can confirm that the GSM version of the Pre does not support rSAP either.
It's a shame, as it means I won't be getting one. More to the point, my company very likely won't consider it either. Too many of our fleet vehicles have rSAP only car kits, so we must have phones that work with them. Looks like my choices are either Nokia, Blackberry or ugh.... Windows Mobile.
If anyone from Palm is listening, please implement this profile in a future update. Loads of VW, Audi and Skoda drivers will be very grateful.

I also second that. To give an update here from Germany, rSAP seems to be the future for hands-free equipment in cars. Last year when I bought a new car (Skoda in my case, same equipment like Volkswagen) I talked with a really experiencend car dealer about that topic. He stated that the vast majority of his customers are not willing to buy special phone adopters any longer for the simple reason that they normally having their cars longer than a particular phone.
Since then I use my old Nokia withrSAP and it just works. Even better more and more rental cars have rSAP included now. Last week I had a nice Mercedes Benz from Sixt and it saved the day to organize things on the phone during a five hour ride.
Oh, and not to forget my uncle who came around with a brand new Nissan Murano some day and ask me to figure out how to run his phone with it. Taht car had rSAP either.

  • Does the Bluetooth and airport..

    I know this is probably a dumb question but i really want a mac before i graduate high school and i am saving up everylast penny to get one and i was wondering does the bluetooth and airport come built into the computer or do you have to buy it extra?
    any help would be appreciated
    thank you

    They are both standard on the MacBooks. No need to add anything.

  • 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)!

    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 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,

  • Why does the Adobe Standard profile make a mess of old NEF files?

    Recently I've been reprocessing some old NEF files taken with the Nikon D50 camera years ago, and I was startled to find that the Adobe Standard camera profile does a bad job on them: the photos come out muddy-looking, really unacceptable, with too much yellow and magenta. I can fix the problem by choosing the Camera Standard profile, which gives acceptable results. However, I believe that Adobe Standard is generally recommended by Adobe, and I wonder what the problem is here. Does anyone know?
    I currently use a Nikon D7000, and Adobe Standard seems to work well enough with that camera.
    Later: After checking and comparing more carefully, I think that perhaps I prefer Camera Standard with the D7000 too. Adobe Standard is certainly acceptable with the D7000, but Camera Standard gives blue skies of clearer blue, and less exaggerated reds. So the best fix for me is probably to make Camera Standard my default for all cameras.
    Looking around the Web, I see various people complaining about too much magenta with Adobe Standard, although other people are happy with it.

    Yammer P, thanks for the input.  I have been working with the DNG Profile Editor since the first version was available.  I also started using the Passport software when it was first available.  I first worked on a profile for the D200 and after many attempts I finally have one that works great.  The Camera profiles did not exist at that time and the D200 does not have Picture Control Profiles, I believe that was first available with the D300.  Adobe did generate Picture Control Profiles for the D200 and they are also available in Nikon Capture NX2. 
    I currently have a D700, and have spent a lot of time working on profiles for this camera.  I have used the DNG Profile Editor's Chart Tab to generate profiles for most of the Camera Profiles and Adobe Standard.  I find that Adobe Standard profile is brighter than the Camera profiles by about 0.25 stop.  After working on this for about 2 years I have decided to use the Camera Neutral with a modified tone curve and slight reduction in saturation as my starting point and no changes in hue.  I also generated a modified Picture Control profile for Neutral using the Nikon Picture Control software that has the same characteristics and loaded it into the camera.  I get good agreement between jpg's from the camera and the nef file that opens in ACR without adjustments.   The tone curve I used only has three points - the In/out values are 27/22, 127/127, 228/233 and saturation was set to -5. 
    I don't understand what Adobe changed when they genrated the Adobe Standard Profile instead of the ACR4.x versions, but I like the ACR4.x version better.  

  • Does the bluetooth function work with the scanner function on my Photosmart C5550?

    I have a new Dell computer and an HP Photosmart C5550.  I use bluetooth to connect to the print. The printer function works correctly but the computer does not recognize the scanner function. Does the scanner function work with bluetooth?
    This question was solved.

    Sorry. I hit post before I could elaborate. Not sure what I was thinking. The Bluetooth connection will only support printing. To use the scan feature you will need to connect the printer using a USB or network connection. Hope that explains it a bit better.

  • Does the Bluetooth always transmit?

    On Macs with bluetooth (like my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo), if I have bluetooth turned on, does anyone know if it always is sending out an "I am here" signal, or does it only transmit once a bluetooth device is turned on or when you specifically ask the computer to search for bluetooth devices? Does anyone know for sure?

    Yes, when Bluetooth is on, it's signal is active. You can make it non-discoverable in the Bluetooth settings, but devices you already paired with and some special programs (Bluetooth scanners) can probably still find your Mac.
    Not much to worry about though.

  • HT3887 Does the Bluetooth on the Apple TV works with the Bluetooth on the iPod touch 4G  and ipad 3?

    IS THE BLUETOOTH ON THE APPLE TV 3 COMPATIBLE WITH THE BLUETOOTH ON THE IPOD 4G AND THE BLUETOOTH ON THE IPAD 3?

    Im having the same problem with my g4 iPod touch and it is driving me nuts. The freezes happen with downloaded movies ON my ipod, not my computer so these suggestions won't work. I read that the same problem is happening with rentals. I would love to know why this is happening. I would like some answers... and a way to fix it.

  • Does the lens correction profile for the Canon 24-70 eliminate all distortion?

    The new Camera Raw seems excellent in the Lens Correction...I will be photographing dancers and will have only 9 feet to work with. I would like to use the widest lens I can with lens correction. The question is whether this new program will flatten out the 24mm lens or if I should use the 35.
    Roger Minkow

    To add to Eric's great explanation, the corrections here are for barrel and pincushion distortion. That can be present in a lens of any focal length.
    What isn't corrected is the effect in wide angle lenses where there is spreading of the image of three dimensional objects away from the center of the field. It happens at any distance, not just close up. It is caused by the extreme angle of projection from the back of the lens to the flat film/sensor plane. Think of a straight on photo of a building that has equal size columns across the facade with a wide angle lens. The columns at either end of the image appear wider than the (same width) columns in the middle. Retrofocus design wide angle lenses help a little bit (the rear of the lens is further from the focal plane than in a standard wide angle), but the distortion is usually there.
    There is also distortion from being too close to the subject. Focal length doesn't really matter in that, except that longer lenses don't have the field of view to take in the close subject and can't usually focus that close. So we associate this distortion with wide angle lenses. This sort of distortion would be that where a person's nose in the middle of the frame looks very large and there is quick falloff in size to the eyes, ears, background. I think of this as more an issue of perspective, and this is controlled by camera placement, not by focal length or lens design.

  • HT6240 Where does the DEP Supervision Profile come from?

    I've configured a server instance in DEP and successfully enrolled an iPad with OTA Supervision using Casper 9.4. I cannot figure out where it got the Supervision Profile from, and why it correctly states the name of my school district. I did not upload it anywhere that I remember..
    thank you,
    chris

    Thank you. I now see that is coming from the DEP account information.
    I was looking at an iPad that enrolled using the prestage settings but must have been supervised still from Configurator.. And the district name was slightly different than the DEP info! Confusion reigned at the end of my day..

  • Does the bluetooth headphone feature not work at this time?

    I have tried 2 different bluetooth headphones. They work with iPhone and iPod, but not the PowerBook.
    My PowerBook recognizes and pairs with the headphones, but won't connect. Am I missing a step?

    Hello -
    I had a set of bluetooth headphones - a while back. And I was able to make them work. Though, they aren't as great as you might think. My audio quality was "okay" at best. And you can also only have one bluetooth device hooked up at a time (I prefer to have a mouse!)
    You may need to go into the System Prefs and set where the audio output is going to. I do not remember if I had to this but it seems a logical step as I sometimes need to this on my PowerBook when I hookup to new speakers.

  • Does Acrobat Pro version 9 support Multi-frame/image  TIF

    does acrobat pro version 9 sdk/api support converting multi-fram/image tiff into pdf ?

    Ok I'm probably missing something here.  I found examples and documenation for AVConversionConvertToPDF
    However, it all seems to be in C.  My trouble seems to stem from my not being able to figure what object to declare for which that method is a member of.
    Is not AVConversionConvertToPDF not supported in VB?  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
    Thanks for your help
     

  • Apt-x Support for Bluetooth A2DP?

    Hi,
    are there any plans to support the apt-X codec for the Bluetooth A2DP Profile? Maybe that could solve some of the bad A2DP audio qualitiy issues, that are still expierienced by some users (including me) on all the available phones (tested Pre- with 1.4.5, Pre+ with 1.4.5 and 2.1, Pixi Plus with 1.4.5, Pre2 with 2.0 and 2.1, all gave the same issues with different headsets and receivers!).
    apt-X seems to be coming quite fast, not only because apple has built in support for it in it's latest products, but also because it offers CD level quality on low encoding cost, which is MUCH more than the poor SBC codec can deliver.
    I hope HP with it's Beat audio line of products will consider adding such enhanced A2DP codecs to the mobile devices... wireless headsets are so much more convinient than anything wired can be. But at the momen A2DP sound quality is unbearable with my Palm handsets and I still have no clue where that issue arises from (my last guess is, that it's connected to me being an european costumer and we are few compared to the majority of the us costumers. As far as I understood there are differences in the radio part of the handsets between EU and US devices, so maybe those differences break A2DP Bluetooth quality).
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (Vodafone)

    Thanks for all of the replies. I also saw in the Z white paper that the apt-X codec is not listed, so the question becomes "can apt-X be pushed via a software update?"
    For those interested in streaming to your home stereo or powered speaker, here's what I ended up doing.
    Purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Music Receiver from Best Buy (in the US). It is a pretty slick lttle device, about the same size as the power plug adaptor and it supports A2DP and apt-X. There are two audio outputs: analog via a headphone jack and optical. And it ships with a 6' 3.5mm stereo audio cable and a  RCA adaptor.
    Setup was easy. Connect the audio to the stereo's AUX inputs, set the stereo's source to AUX, plug in the BT receiver power, turn on the tablet Bluetooth on the tablet and play music.
    At first the sound was pretty compressed from MP3's, Pandora and the Google Play service.The fix was to go into the Google Play app > settings > equalizer. Click on "surround sound" and change the setting from "headphone" to "studio".Then play with the equalizer settings to tweak.Results in much improved audio.
    Happy camper now... music streaming through the house and no wires!

  • Does the iPhone support pre-paid phone cards?

    Just debating whether I get an iPhone to replace both my iPod Touch and my phone.
    Does it support pre-paid calling cards like Bell's and the other phone companies?

    The better question would be does the company you want to get pre-paid cards from support the iPhone.
    For example, in the US, AT&T will not. You may be able to get it to work for voice, but as soon as they realize you have an iPhone, they will cut you off. I believe T-Mobile works fine, but you can't use T-Mobile's 3G network in the US as it's not compatible.
    Check with the carrier(s) you want to use. Technically, an unlocked iPhone 4 will work on any compatible GSM network, though not all functions will work depending on the network provider.
