I can't be sure, but after Lollipop arrived on my Nexus 5, it seems I had to do the following to get contacts over to my car:

1. Open Contacts.
2. Tap Menu>Contacts to Display
3. Tap Customize.
4. Select all groups to display.

That worked for me. The key thing is to select Customize, not All Contacts, in step 3.

I may try that. I disabled the stock app and started using DW contacts, which I have used in the past, and now my contacts are transferring into my car stereo.

The DW contacts stopped working for me and the customization on the stock app does not work either. Grrrr.

And you've already tried unpairing the phone completely, then pairing again? Go to Settings>Bluetooth​, and select the car. Is Contact Sharing checked on?

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

Yes, contact sharing is turned on.

Ok, last thing I can think of--wipe the cache partition? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14686

So yeah, this is not happening. I have warranty service with Verizon. I would use that first before I sent off my phone for 10 days. And why can't Samsung admit it needs to push out bug fixes??

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

B. Diddy, do you know how to remove the operating system?

 

[B. Diddy]

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

No, I don't. Why do you want to do that? Do you want to re-flash the firmware?

 

[skatergirl]

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

In the event we don't get a bug fix, Samsung said to send in my phone, which I will not do, and it would remove and reinstall the operating system. Is that the same as re-flashing the firmware?

 

[B. Diddy]

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

Yes, I think so. You can do it yourself with Odin: http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...w-flash-stock-rom-via-odin-new-interface.html. Find the correct firmware here: Firmwares - SamMobile

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

Thank you. If I feel the need to do this I will follow along with the instructions. I do not believe my problems are serious enough to do this, but if so at least I have an option.

Re: Google: FIX Bluetooth transfer of contacts to my car

My other option is to send the phone to Samsung when I get my Asus Zenfone. It does not work with Verizon, but I already picked up a Tmobile sim card and I have plans to purchase a one month plan to check out and review the phone. I would at least have a phone for the 10 days my Note was gone. Also, I would know if Samsung has a great OS for Lollipop because it would be pretty clean at that point.
