Phone book via bluetooth

This Forum stuff is new to me, so not sure i'm doing this correctly. I have just bought a 3G i-phone. When i bluetooth it to my car (Audi A6) the phone works fine (handsfree etc) but i cannot access my phone book via the car system. Is this a car problem, phone problem, or a me problem? Help please!

As others have posted, it seems that the iPhone (both original and 3G models) only officially supports the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) and Headset Profile (HSP) hence the phonebook and other problems.
However, I also had a first generation iPhone and it worked perfectly with my 2007 A6 Allroad ... full access to phonebook, recent calls, missed calls ... the whole nine yards.
I have the same problem as you with the 'new and improved' iPhone 3G. I can pair from the phone to the car and get a very basic functionality (i.e. no phonebook or call register). If I recall correctly, you need to initiate the pairing the other way round ... i.e. starting from the car. When successful the phonebook is copied as part of the initial pairing. I can't get this part to work for me as the iphone is invisible to the Audi even though the iphone says it is 'discoverable'.
Applecare will just give you the standard line about not being able guarantee to support every phone out there.
If the 3G is working with other car makes (BMW and the like ...) then it might be an Audi problem. They seem to have created a workaround for the original iPhone's shortcomings so let's hope the can do it again for the 3G

Transfering Phone Book via Bluetooth

Hello, unfortunately the USB port of my 8330 Curve has broken and I do not have a backup of my contact list - over 100, not sure why I can't retrieve the back up, but my question is.... Can I not transfer from one phone to the other via bluetooth and if so, could someone please help me. Thank you so very much!

You can connect your device via Bluetooth with Desktop Manager and have backup of your device. The transfer of address book via Bluetooth is not available.
Check the below knowledge base for connecting your device via bluetooth.

TS3581 Transfering contacts to in car phone book via bluetooth

Hi I have recently bought the new nissan pulsar and its intergrated voice dialling only works through the cars phonebook.
Problem is I cant find how to transfer contacts from my iPhone 4S to the car. I have the menu open and ready on the car but can not find the option on my phone to transfer via blue tooth. This is a pretty standard feature on most cars these days so you would think you could do it with an iPhone.
Any suggestions/help?

The iPhone only supports PBAP(Phone Book Access Profile) for this. Does your vehivle support PBAP?

How to copy phone book via Bluetooth to a G35

I have paired my 3G with my car (Infinity G35 2008) and it works fine. But I am unable to download the phone book. I get a message in the car that says if needed enter the 1234 passkey, but that never happens on the phone. 30 minutes later still on the same screen.
Any clues?

Blame Apple about that. The Bluetooth in iPhone is crippled to headset only. Make me think that iPhone 3G is like previous Verizon phones with all Bluetooth feature capped. I suggest you to send a feedback to Apple about that particular problem.

Want to make phone calls via bluetooth on my iPhone from iPad

I can link my Garmin GPS to my iPhone via Bluetooth and make or receive phone calls.
I would like an iPas app that provides the sametype functionality including:
Make calls
Receive calls
Look uphone numbers
Is this possible? Using what app?

There are a couple of Apps out there that will allow you to use a Google Voice phone number to make and recieve calls via the iPad. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you are trying to replicate the Garmin / iPhone setup I don't think that is possible.
Google Voice setup - gvconnect and talkatone. (wifi)
Skype - I think that you can make phone calls via Skype and Wifi.
I don't have a clue as if it is possible to make a phone call over 3G via the iPad.

N95 8GB copying phone book via blue tooth

I have just aquired a secondhand N95 8GB and I am having trouble transfering my phone book to my cars hands free via blue tooth. Can anybody help me. Also with regard to the camera is there anyother button apart from the one on the side that can be used to capture the picture. I already use the scroll buttons for volume and zoom.
Is there a problem with the slide as mine seems very loose, can adjustments be made to the slide? Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi aggie2347
1) More details of vehicle/kit to which you are trying to transfer phonebook needed.
2) Third party application such as VirtualKey needed to re-assign keys
3) Loose slide was a feature of early N95 to varying degrees, there have been self help fixes posted but it is against this forum's rules to publish disassembly instructions unfortunately.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

No data exchange from phone tethered via bluetooth PAN

I'm pretty sure this problem is in the Macbook (mid 2009 running 10.6.8) and not to do with the tethered phone.
Until now I've had this tethered connection running fine via my Sony W810i. I've recently been trying to connect to the same ISP account via a Sony W890i (SIM card swapped over) and had a succession of problems trying to get it to work. First I could not get the paired W890i past the 'self assigned IP address' problem. The W810i would still work fine.
Somehow, after implementing various actions gleaned from the internet I've got that issue sorted, but now I cannot get any data transfer to my Macbook even though everything looks as it should. Phone is browsing OK and the Macbook System Pref panel shows Bluetooth PAN active with an IP address allocated to it. My 810i is now doing the same. I cannot get any internet data to my Macbook from either phone.
Can anyone suggest what might be the problem here? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Greg

You can use your Blackberry to download a supported version of Verizon Backup Assistant. Open the link below on your Blackberry to download/install the software. To transfer using your Bluetooth you will connect the two devices and sending your address book wireless. You can do it from home screen.
Options>Bluetooth>select the device, the transfer option is there…Or you can also find it by opening “Manage Connections” >Bluetooth options,

Transferring phone numbers via bluetooth

I have purchased a Panasonic Bluetooth phone set and there is supposed to be a way to transfer email addresses from my 5S to it. Most likely would need to figure out a way to send a directory. The landline phone is model KX-TGE272S
How may this be done? I have gotten it as far as being ready to receive, but their tech support says you have to do the transfer.
anyone have any ideas?

I have found some other discussions that seem to imply this is possible. Your answer puzzles me since you write "between IPhones and other smartphones" unless you mean the panasonic land line?
The technique as I understand it is to first make a backup of your whole address book. Then delete all the addresses you do not want to transfer. Also,remove all images.
The follow the procedure after deleting all others and it should work.
However, I don't know how to temporarily delete all other groups. Does anyone so you don't have to delete each card?
Two reasons to transfer names and phone numbers to the Panasonic phone: one click calling, and when you get a call from them it announces the name. The latter is usually not needed for a land line with call ID functioning.

Auto answering phone call via bluetooth

Yesterday, I had two incoming calls via blue tooth while driving. With my Droid X, it would answer automatically. With the S3, it did not. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not sure why it would do that. You can try resetting your device. Sometimes that will clear up odd behaviour (nothing will be lost):
Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if the problem is resolved.
Cheers,

Address Book vCards via Bluetooth to Samsung a900 "Blade" cell phone

I'm able to export Address Book contacts as vCards and then import them into one of the new Samsung a900 "Blade" Sprint phones using Bluetooth, but with a couple of vexing problems.
1. I should clarify that I can import vCards into the new "Blade" cell phone from Address Book via Bluetooth, but only by dragging one card at a time, a very tedious process. Unfortunately, no data transfer occurs if I select multiple cards and drag them all at the same time. I'm using OS X (v10.4.2). Perhaps v10.4.4 and/or a more current AddressBook update will make a difference, or perhaps the problems are solely at the Samsung end...
After activating the paired phone and then launching Apple's Bluetooth File Transfer Utility, I'm dragging the vCards onto the OS X dock icon...
But before I do this, the "No Name" problem is forcing me to manually enter the Company Name into Address Book's last name field for every card that has no personal first/last name. Again, this is necessary just to get the Samsung a900's internal phone book to display something useful for these records (besides listing each record as "No name").
2. When the phone software sees an entry with a Company Name only (but no First/Last Name entered), it goes brain dead and lists each entry as "No Name" instead of ignoring the empty Name fields and simply listing the Company Name. This is an age-old problem with dumb cell phone software (my previous Sanyo phone did this too). Unfortunately, Address Book exporting is useless without fixing this...Is there a way to get Address Book to format exported vCards to compensate for this shortcoming in the Phone interface?
More info on this phone and Macs is posted on an a900-Mac thread in the Samsung discussion at www.sprintusers.com. The "Blade" is Samsung's new model that copies the look-and-feel of the popular Motorola RAZR, and it is a very nice, if not entirely original, design, and a very hot phone at Sprint right now. It does have a few bugs, but some already have been addressed with a firmware update from Samsung. It's only been out since late November or early December of 2005.
I also cross-posted these questions in the Address Book and Mail forum...

All metioned problems are Samsung's fault. Blame them.
I've been assuming it was a Samsung problem, and have posted help requests in cell phone forums that Samsung engineers and/or support allegedly reads. I was hoping there might be some way to automate a workaround from the computer end...
Now, if Address Book had an option to define the fields that are to be exported or perhaps automatically sub Company Names for last names the problem would be solved when exporting for cell phones. I can't belive no one has ever encountered this before -- it has been a problem with every cell phone I have ever owned.

How do I transfer data from my phone with the bluetooth to my Mac??

Hey,
I heard from a friend I can send my phonebook/phone data through blue tooth to my Mac.
My phone is currently broken and I don't want to lose the data. I know I can text it through,but I can't with my phone right now-is there a way to set up the blue tooth and like transfer it straight to my Mac,besides texting it?
I've never even used a blue tooth to my phone. So any explanation/steps to do this?
Thanks.

What is the manufacturer of your phone? Can you look the instructions up in your phone's manual or search the website of your phone's manufacturer? Irregardless, the first thing you need to do is to "pair" your phone with your laptop. Make sure the Bluetooth settings on your phone say that it is "discoverable." Go to System Preferences>Bluetooth, then ensure that the box besides "Discoverable" is checked (if not, click the box so that a checkmark appears). Then click the "+" at the bottom of the left box. A setup assistant will guide you through the remaining steps to pair your phone with your laptop.
I have a BlackBerry Pearl 8100. BlackBerry phone can only send files to Macs, they cannot sync with Macs via Bluetooth. I do not know how to export my phone book to my MacBook Pro, but when I send pictures, I select "send using bluetooth". It then asks which device to send the file to. My MacBook Pro then displays a message that my phone is sending a file and asks if I want to accept that file. I select yes, and the picture is downloaded into the documents stack. Of course, +this paragraph+ is only how my phone connects via Bluetooth to my MacBook Pro. If you have a phone from a different manufacturer, your steps will be different. I only provided this as an example.

Iphone phone book index

Hi, I'm using iphone 3G with Chinese Language support. I found that the phone book index show both number and alphabetic character e.g. 1.5.8....A.N.X.# after I upgraded to fireware 2.2. Any one can tell me what happen and how can I change back to alphabetic index (A.B.C.D....X.Y.Z)?
Thx!

Yvraz,
While users have been saying that the iPhone does not support "transfer of data" via bluetooth, that statement is only partially correct. While the iPhone does not support transfer of files (i.e. photos, songs, etc) it can "send" your address book via bluetooth.
Any car that has bluetooth capability (with supported profiles that work with the iPhone), and has the PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile) Bluetooth Profile, is capable of transferring your contact list via bluetooth.
That being said, only your vehicle manufacturer would be able to tell you if your car is equipped with a bluetooth system that supports the PBAP profile.
On the iPhone side, this PBAP profile is only guaranteed to work if you have the most recent OS on the iPhone per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 .
One thing that I was able to do with my Mercedes (which would not allow the entire Address Book to come through) is as follows:
1) Remove the pairing record from the iPhone in Settings > General > Bluetooth. Tap on the device and forget it.
2) Remove any and all pairing records from the Vehicle in which you will be using your iPhone with. (Check your vehicles manual to address this)
3) Reset the NETWORK SETTINGS of the iPhone in Settings > General > Reset.
4) Repair the iPhone with your vehicle according to the user's manual. Follow the steps exactly as written and let us know the end result.

3gs (3.1.3) trouble streaming audio via bluetooth to car

thanks in advance for the help. im kinda new to this kind of stuff, but im trying to get my iphone to stream music via bluetooth through my car (range rover with stock stereo). I have the devices recognizing each other, and the phone is working through blue tooth, but i can't stream audio. the blue tooth icon is lit up at the top of the phone, and im under the impression a blue tooth icon should appear next to the volume bar in my itunes for streaming, but this isnt appearing. anyone have any ideas? also, is it possible to stream from a thrid party app like pandora? again thanks for any help that can be offered.

still no luck. I have the phone working via bluetooth through the speakers perfectly, but have no idea how to stream my ipod via bluetooth. The bluetooth icon is lit up at the top of the phone, but one does not appear when the ipod is activated to start streaming. anyone have any ideas?

Connect to Internet via Bluetooth with 6121 Classi...

I have a new Nokia 6121 Classic and a Thinkpad T60 with the latest Bluetooth drivers and Windows XP SP2.
I've installed the Nokia software and it asked to get the updated software from the Internet and installed 6.86.9.0
It connected fine via Bluetooth (WIDCOM) and I'm able to Sync my contacts/transfer files without any problems. I then throught I'd connect it to the Internet. I tried the cable connection and it connected fine via 3G to my carrier Optus.
However, if I don't use the USB cable and try via Bluetooth (what I want) it starts to connect and says 'Looking for bluetooth devices'...which is really strange since it's already connected !! Windows XP beeps quickly as if something has been plugged into a USB port, but nothing has. After about 20-30 secs, Windows XP beeps (as if something has been unplugged, but nothing has. The Nokia Connection Manager then says "No modem found!"
It's so strange...it can see the Nokia phone fine via Bluetooth. I then tried to connect via "My Bluetooth Places" and XP also connected fine to the phone. It then installed another dialup connection via Bluetooth. But if I click on that icon, it connects to the phone but then asks for a userid/password which I have no idea what to enter. So I think I need to use the Nokia PC suite, but it won't connect to the Internet via the phone, unless I use the USB cable.
It's a strange one... I've searched the forums but can't see any clues for my particular case.
