IPhone ios 5 still won't send vCard contacts via bluetooth to car system

I have an iPhone 3GS and am running iOS 5.0.1. I have a 2011 Toyota Camry with built-in bluetooth. I see a lot of posts from people talking about the fact that the iPhone can't send vCard name/phone number contact information to a car bluetooth system. Sending via MMS or e-mail is not an option to a car system like this. The car bluetooth system gets put into a mode where it waits for the information from the phone. But there is no option in iOS to send vCards via bluetooth. This capability is something my wife's free Samsung Solstice phone can do, but my "smartphone" / iPhone cannot. Every number I call from the iPhone, therefore, shows as calling "no name" as I can't get basic contact names/numbers sent to the car's system. This is not a far fetched feature and many phones (free ones at that) can do this. When will users be able to get this basic feature? All I need is send vCard contacts via bluetooth...As I said, sending via MMS or e-mail doesn't work for a car. I shouldn't need some app to do this either. It should be another transport feature on the vCard export from iOS.
Thanks,
Michael

In order to get contacts onto your in car system, it will need to support the PBAP bluetooth profile (Phone Book Access Protocol). If it does, contacts will transfer automatically on connection. You can not transfer contacts the way you're trying to.
Contact Toyota and see if there is an update available for your system.

Send all contacts via bluetooth

hi,
i broke my screen on my n82 I lost my datacable, and i have not been able to pair the phone with my computers bluetooth. i need my contacts, i mean ideally i'd like my files too, but they are less important.
what i need to know (and i know its a bit odd) is when i'm inside the contacts menu, what combination of keys do i need to press to send my contacts to my girlfriends phone (already paired)
example: press left soft key once, down 4 times, right once, down 3 times, navi-key, down twice, navi key
i remember the old nokia manuals which talked you through the interface with the keypad shortcuts - 5.3.1.6 = ringtones etc, if only that where still so
cheers in advance guys, i imagine the n seriers s60 o/s is very similar on all the n-models

Hi lukeharbo
I'll give it a go but unfortunately it's never easy to give sequence of keystrokes that third party can understand:
From within Contacts Menu > Left softkey > Navi-key Down 10 (Mark/Unmark) > Left softkey > Navi-key Down 1(Mark all) > Left softkey > Left softkey > Navi-key Down 6 > Left softkey > Navi-key Down 2 > wait about 3 seconds as no tone here - you are now on more devices and if your girlfriend's phone is top of the list - Navikey Down 1 - wait 3 seconds > left softkey and you are connecting. If there are other Bluetooth pairings however they would be further down the list.
Good luck!
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

How to send all contacts from addressbook to car n...

Hi,
can anyone help me, is it possible to send all contacts via BT to car navigation? Pairing OK, receiving calls or calling OK, but I don´t want to send each contact separately, would last tooooo long :-)
It´s a N6300 and Renault Laguna III Carminat car navigation, it his should help.
If not, is this function available by another Nokia phone? I could eventually change the mobile - not the car... :-)
Thanks a lot!

SOLVED! Copy the contacts via NPCSuite to your Memory Card. Then Select All contacts (in the Memory Card) and now it will be possible to send them all via Bluetooth to the device!
Nokia should repair the missing option to send all selected contacts to other devices via Bluetooth...

Need help 2 get my new BB to receive my contacts via bluetooth from od phone!

Hi guys, I just got a lovely BB Curve today and have spent the last 4 hours trying in vain to get it receive my contacts list via bluetooth from my old phone. I have paired them up and can send to my old phone but cannot receive to my BB. My old phone attempts to connect and then it comes up with a connection failed message. I have tried all sorts: making sure phones are visibile, setting them to 2 mins ....then changing it to "yes" ...making sure devices trust connection and then asking for a prompt....taking the encryption off...then leaving it on....
I really am at my wits end as I have over 150 contacts and cannot face having to write them all out and manually type them in
I am also terrified of getting into my new car tomorrow and finding out that my BB won't pair to my in-car bluetooth set up!
Thanks!

Not sure you can send/receive contacts via BLUETOOTH. Once the two devises are paired, then your done with the 2 minute limit and all that stuff. If each devise sees the name of the other devise, your done there. Then make sure there "connected" to each other. If not select the devise, press menu and select connect. Once that's done, your connected. Your car set-up should be just as simple. The setting about phone book entries, is for a bluetooth devise (headset, your car... things you make calls from and talk through) to have 'access' to your phone book to easily make phone calls. It doesn't copy or transfer your phone book, just has access. If your old phone has an option to "send contact via bluetooth" you'll probably have to do that for each contact and even then, I don't know that Blackberry will take it. Blackberry will however take v-cards. So if your old phone can e-mail a v-card, that would work. Blackberry can also synchronize with desktop applications like microsoft outlook and ever google mail. That way you'll have all your contacts from these locations as well. If your old phone can sync with these applications, that's another way to complete this task. This is done through your Blackberry Desktop Manager which also has a sync with other devises' so if your old phone has the ability to connect to a computer, you could try that. Many mobile phone carriers have software in their stores that help with this process and might be able to do this for you without charge.

I'm from the uk and I'm trying to send a message to someone who lives in the US, however it does not recognise that they have an iPhone so it won't send as an iMessage, any solutions?

My IPhone 6 plus won't send group texts.

My IPhone 6 plus won't send group texts. It will if i delete the group and recreate the group but if i continue to send texts in that group it will only send to an Iphone acount and not other cell phone brands.

Start with soft reset then reset network settings and a possible Sim card reseat. Careful they pop out when using an earring or paperclip to remove.

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

How to send a photo via bluetooth from iphone 5s to laptop

how to send a photo via bluetooth from iphone 5s to laptop

Connectivity between an iPhone and a computer via Bluetooth is extremely limited. It supports tethering (hotspot or internet sharing) if your cellular plan allows that but does not support transfer of photos. You can import photos from the Camera Roll to the computer via USB or via wifi as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Send/Recieve files via bluetooth failes

I use gnome-bluetooth and can successfully pair my phone to the pc, but if I try to send files to phone via BT I get the following error:
GDBus.Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.openbox.client was not provided by any .service files
The transfer of files from the phone to the pc also failes.
System info:
3.9.6-1-ARCH
Gnome version: 3.8.2
and here is the relevant entry from journalctl:

I have the same problem. Installing obexd-client solved the issue with gnome-bluetooth (bluetooth-sendto). Blueman still won't send files from computer to phone (it says "Remote device refused connection" after a while).

My iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth

my iPhone 5S no longer sees my wireless printer via bluetooth. All it does in Settings is continually search for devices. I've rebooted the phone, as well as the printer. I even sat next to the printer with no luck. It did find the printer when I initially set it up.

Did this work for you in the past?
ios does not support bluetooth printers without extra software.
Helper app -- /print n share
Print directly to the widest range of network or WiFi printers available in any app. Alternatively print via your computer to ALL printers including USB & Bluetooth printers. View read and display large PDF, Office & iWork files. Easily transfer & store files from the Cloud or your computer.

You need to buy the right printer.
The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi. So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.

Won't connect to ipad via Bluetooth

why won't my iPhone connect to my iPad via Bluetoot?

Well, I should have asked Pagancelt not sleeky as he said above he says he DID it.

Re: iPad won't connect to iMac via bluetooth
Apr 29, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to mccass)
I was successful in connecting my iPad and 27" iMac via bluetooth for the purpose of internet sharing, so it can be done. I was able to use my iMac's free wifi connection (which the iPad couldn't pick up, as I don't want to stand by the window) to get internet on the iPad. I forget how, unfortunately, which is why I'm back in the forums - my connection went down!
*Edit: Foolish me. My iMac shows up under "Devices" on the iPad Bluetooth pane in General Settings. All I had to do was tap it to revive the connection (since I paired the devices the first time I set up the connection). iPad is now getting internet off iMac again :-)
