nameneeded Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Anyone get the texting to work through the system? Actually what have you gotten to work through it? I'm all sync'd up (no problems with transfering phone lists) but can't get the system to reconize when I get a text. I know it has something to do with phone sending texts through Bluetooth. I have a galaxy S2 LTE. Figured it should do pretty much anything. I'm going to try music through it next and see how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TractorAK Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have an iPhone and it doesn't work for me. My guess s a windows Mobil phone will work no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I believe I seen list before on ford sync site of all phones compatibility and capabilities. Will try to find again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssho Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Of course I'm on the 'older' version of Sync, but, once I got a newer phone back in the summer, Droid4, texting works. It's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have a Droid3, and the older version of Sync. My phone has always worked with the car w/o issue. Including the text messaging feature. I had one coworker reply to me when I sent a message from my SHO...... "Dude, that's so gay". I was like "What is? Huh?" He fires off another text reply exclaiming "Your text message ended with (this message sent from my Ford} and I don't care where the message came from, that's gay". I laughed heartily and I said I never realized that it stamped any of my text messages with such verbage. So then I blew up his phone repeatedly for the next hour or so, with nothing but text messages, each of which were sent from my SHO. Next time we worked together he said "dude, you're an ass". I chuckled once again. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have a Motorola Razzor Droid Maxx and the texting works fine, again since it is a '10 it's one of the older versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double c Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Have a 2010 with Sync and a Droid Bionic. Formerly it would allow access to phonebook/call history. Now i cannot get the phonebook to download. Went to use recently and no phonebook-much to my surprise. Have tried to re-download using automatic download. No luck. Any one else with issue or answer?

BBOX Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh man, I'm at work for another 25 minutes but when I get home I'll give some insight, at least what I can. I work for a major cellular carrier and am pretty phone savvy. I can definitely explain some of the issues and weirdness with the texting issue and am working on an answer for all of it but right now, as the owner of a phone that the texting did work with who just upgraded to a phone that it does not currently work with, I'm not real happy at the moment.

I think I read somewhere that issues like this got sorted sometimes by deleting the phone from the car and vice versa then doing a fresh pairing. Try that?

markssho Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Yes, if you have issues, I would delete the phone from Sync, and delete the profile from the phone. Wait a few power cycles of Sync then pair them up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try that? Before you do any of that - look at the list of supported phones posted earlier in the thread, if yours is not on it no use even trying.

sixtn39 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have a Motorola Electrify (US Cellular). It is also known as a Photon with Verizon. Neither phone is listed as a supported phone. It spite of that the phone does connect with Sync, although it does have some issues. ...It does on occasion drop its connection and usually it can be reconnected. ...It does receive text messages, but it has never been able to send a text from the canned response messages.

KP23 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 My Galaxy Note 2 won't connect automatically where my iPhone 5 would. Am I missing something? The texting didn't work with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBOX Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 My Galaxy Note 2 won't connect automatically where my iPhone 5 would. Am I missing something? The texting didn't work with either. As far as I can tell, it has to do with the Samsung software on the phone. I was hoping to have time to investigate this further, but I had a RAZR MAXX that connected automatically and the text messaging worked, went to the Note 2 and now I have to prompt it to connect and the texts don't work. I'm hoping to find some time to root and load a custom image on the phone and see if that will correct it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameneeded Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 based on the compatibility chart most motorola phones have the best features capabilities. Now if only they would make a phone I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaktip Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ford shouldn't even have texting as a feature since 99% of us can't use it. But I did have my Sync updated this past Friday and it's a lot faster then it was when I purchased the car in November. I was hoping the update would have included the texting feature for the iPhone but no it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeprato Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have a galaxy S2 and my phone keeps dropping connection constantly. I changed the setting to always visible on my phones bluetooth setting, but that didn't seem to help either...it will connect automatically and I might even make a call or two and then it will just drop connection to the Sync service all of a sudden. It's pretty frustrating. I'm not sure if it's just my phone or what, but I connect to my basic bluetooth radio in my beater daily driver car just fine, but the Sync just doesn't work well so far for my Galaxy S2. My wife has the Galaxy S Relay 4G, which is a very similar phone and it doesn't have any issues at all...I even tried the Sync update (I'm on version 3.2.2 now I believe) and that still didn't seem to help my problems...
