Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone knows what "Remote Sim Mode" is on Captivate? I recently upgraded to Froyo from android 2.1. I noticed that whenever I turn on my "bluetooth" on my Captivate, the bluetooth icon will show up. If I push the "bluetooth" button again, a message will show up saying that "Remote Sim Mode Activated". I never seen this message on android 2.1.

But if you had done it 7 days, before this thread existed, it would not have brought you to this thread.
Google is the internet users best friend. A couple key strokes and some good know-how and you can find anything you want.
I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SEARCHING FOR REMOTE SIM MODE, THERE WASN'T A CLEAR SEARCH TERM BUT BROKE IT DOWN INTO SMALLER TERMS IN GOOGLE BEING "REMOTE SIM BLUETOOTH".
RESULT:
SIM Access Profile (SAP, SIM, rSAP)
This allows devices such as car phones with built in GSM transceivers to connect to a SIM card in a phone with Bluetooth, thus the car phone itself doesn't require a separate SIM card. This profile is also known as rSAP (remote-SIM-Access-Profile).

Saying "Google is your friend" is a failed attempt at saying "I Don't Know".
So please instead of acting like some prissy tech know it all, why not actually contribute something useful to the conversation instead of getting your jollies off by being a smart ass?
I mean not all of us are some lonely geek sitting in their parents basement getting off on some image board, spouting off memes like they are gospel...
It's people like you that make tech forums like this unbearable when it comes to the sharing of knowledge and information. At the very least if you were so wise and sage, you could have posted a link supplying the answer.
But no, you couldn't even take the time out of your busy trolling to even do that. You have to be all cute and cool and go "Google is your friend".
Yes, Google is our friend, it brought us to this place and met idiots such as yourself. Google is an infinitely better friend than you could ever hope to be.

Ouch, haha. A bit harsh maybe, but well said.
I also had less-than-stellar luck when googling "remote sim mode" when my phone decided to put itself there. Soooo don't hate on us just cause we come here hoping for a little bit more clearly stated answers. :-/
Thanks
It just really irks me because these forums exist for a reason. Yes, I will agree that most people don't take the time to look through the forums. But on the other hand, looking through hundreds of posts can be a bit daunting at times too especially if your a noob which can get discouraging.
It's a forum, not IRC. Instead of cluttering it up with nonsense and bickering... just give the answer or shut up...
Now... with that being said, this is what I have discovered: The Bluetooth remote sim mode has something to do with connecting to your cars Bluetooth receiver so that you can make phone calls from your car to your phone.
Why it automatically comes on after you turn off the Bluetooth radio via the drop down menu is beyond me.
So you open up the drop down menu and you push the module and it comes up with "Deactivate Remote SIM mode?" dialogue box.
Click Yes it ideally turns it off. Click No it cancels out of the dialogue box. Clicking yes however... doesn't seem to do anything anyways which is the problem we all seem to be running into.
So what do we do? Well we can reset our phones. Cognition v2.2Beta8 has a nice little reset option when you long hold down the lock button on the side.
Of course this gets kinda annoying every single time.
All is not lost though. What you can do is this: Go into Settings>Wireless and Network>Bluetooth settings and turn on/off Bluetooth from there.
If Bluetooth is off, you can just turn it on from the drop down menu. However if it is on and you want it off, I would suggest turning it off from the settings menu.
When you uncheck the green checkmark that says "Bluetooth", three things are going to happen. One, your going to turn off the Bluetooth Radio. Two, in the status bar there is going to be a message saying "Remote Sim Mode Activated". Three, and this is what we are trying to accomplish, a small dialogue box is going to pop up on the bottom saying "Remote Sim Mode Deactivated". This is essentially what we want to happen.
I don't know why it works this way. However I have noticed that there are a few quirks in the drop down menu from time to time. Perhaps this is just one of the more prevalent ones.
I hope this helped a bit. I'm not a developer or a programmer, just a modder who likes tweaking and likes to learn from the devs who take a lot of time and effort in to making our devices work better. I also hope that you don't mistake the inconsiderate, idiotic reply of "cappysw10" as the general attitude of people who post on this forum.
Most of the people here are pretty cool and are more than willing to help out
Good Luck and happy modding
I agree, these forums are getting hard to ask and get answers in withlut smart butt comments and flaming. Even when posted in the right place! Its getting out of control. : ( I dont post often, but read ALL the time. Some of us need REAL help. I actualy did Google this very remote sim trouble, found NO good help. Went back to stock. Waiting a real fix.
Little harsh but necessary I guess
I am reaaly not sure what remote similar implies is going on but if I turn my Bluetooth back on and the back off it deactivates
Captivate
Cog 2.2
mine acted stupid first time and has been shutting off appopriately since. It still pops up but cancels itself. CoG 9

Hey thanks! Googled remote sim first thing, found out what it was and that it doesn't apply to me. Came to this forum to find an answer and YOU PROVIDED ONE YAY! Not necessarily happy with how the drop-down reacts but knowing how to avoid that annoying message is VERY USEFUL! And I only had to wade through a few message to find your answer! DOUBLE YAY!!
hey all thanks for the thanks! I'm glad that I was able to help a bit with a few observations.
Just a few more before I go, It would seem to me that the entire notifications drop down menu is buggy.
For me, none of the buttons work as they should whether it be WiFi, bluetooth, etc...
Just about all of those functions have to be set in the settings dialogue that I mentioned about before.
I haven't update Cognition in a month now, so he might have gotten to fixing it by now, I cannot say.

Thank you. Best one-liner in a while. I also agree that if a question is asked and your response isn't toward answering the question it's fruitless.
Either answer or don't. I respect either but the taking up of space that doesn't contribute to the solution is useless.
(Much like my response. )
Hope this helps
Idk what causes this or why or how to fix it, BUT if you just turn the bluetooth back on and then off again it deactivates the remote sim. You don't have to do it through the settings, you can use the drop down menu or if u have the control panel widget you can use that. Just on and then off again. Hopefully this will get fix cuz it is annoying to have to push the button two extra times.
wow

Remote Sim Mode
I guess no one actually found out what this is. Just a question did you have your bluetooth connected to your cars bluetooth handsfree? I know I have a handsfree in my car built in, from what I've read on wikipedia it has something to do with the car having a remote connection through the sim card in the phone. Maybe if your phone has the bluetooth on it still has a paired setting for your car and turning it off calls up this remote sim mode thing to show up. I don't know but I believe this is what causes this. When you turn it off and turn it back on it doesn't appear again after you turn the bluetooth back on. I've noticed this only if I connect with the car and turn the bluetooth off on the phone.

Did you not read the thread? It was answered in post #8.
Also it doesn't matter if the phone is synced to your cars handsfree or not. My phone does it when its connected to my car, not connected to my car, sending a file over Bluetooth, really anytime I toggle BT on and off. Its impartial to the situation in which Bluetooth is activated.

I have unlimited data, but have it set up to disconnect after 5 minutes w/o use, for battery life. I HATE it when it pops up saying connecting, every 30 minutes to update Email, weather and such. It always pops up on top of all other programs. I have searched all over and have not found the solution. Any help is appreciated. If I knew what the file was called I would move it that way it wouldn't work, as long as that doesn't cause another problem. Thanks, Kevin
Hey brother. I'll answer before someone flames you. Look here:
I went to google.com
typed in the search box " Disable connection bubble" without the quotes and got this link

Tip** anytime you want to look for something for your phone on google attach Kaiser at the end of it. It'll give you links that take you to this site.

uuuummmmmm..... yea.......... Sounds and notifications. Was that hard or WHAT?
As always thanks for the support. I typed pop up and came up with nothing. I am not the type that asks before looking for the answers myself. I will look at that thread, thank you. XDA is a great forum, it just sucks that some people like to be sarcastic and rude sometimes. I guess it was a typical Monday for everyone else too. Kevin
I've used this option too. Works well.
I get a related pop up which appears to have no 'sound & notification' category. Using Tomtom or Co-pilot, if it uses GPRS to get the latest traffic info, and due to reception conditions, loses its connectivity, I get a pop-up which says there is no dial-up connection and provides 'settings' and 'dismiss' buttons. I'm guessing the handset would attempt dialing a number due to the lack of GPRS connectivity. I haven't been able to find a way of telling the handset to ignore this condition so it doesn't pop-up in the middle of Tomtom and Co-Pilot. Any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks
Mike
I have been searching for a looooong time for this but no one seemed to have this issue. mtcs, you're the only person who has brought up this issue, so let's persue it. The "Unable to connect" bubble is most annoying when you're navigating and the navigator window pauses unless you press the button dismiss. Very difficult and dangerous when you're driving!!!
Does anyone have a fix?
As the last two stated, the pop up bubble is very annoying when using Navigation software. Sounds and Notifications does work for the pop up bubble that appears while trying to connect to data, but doesnt appear to help the other. Thanks for the help. Kevin

Just a couple of small suggestions that may answer your questions.
When u got ur phone and opened the box somewhere in there you should have found the manual. It has great details on what the comm manager buttons do. Now it may not cover all the extra buttons that your cab installed but it will help. Read it.
Google is your friend. Where ever you got the cab file from should have told you who made it. Search on their nick and you should find details on the extra buttons.
....um....are you serious?

Okay, Less the Microsoft direct push, the touch pro manual would not say how these other buttons function. I only asked because it was on topic. why would beam be in my manual if my phone doesn’t have IR?
Second, if you don’t know the answers don’t say "google it" to feed your superiority trip. I’ve been googling it since the 90's. Ive tried googling "IP Phone" with the touch pro, and found dirt. Ive tried locating the original thread to ask the creator, and cant find it.
So...the manual wont help......Google has nothing....and I can’t find the original thread. So im left with my last option...
...Which is to post in a forum and risk getting chewed on by an ant with a big head (who most likely doesnt know the answers anyway) just to get some insight. Additionally, ive searched this site, and ppcgeeks aswell.
Sure i could have googled beam, but i thought i could get some quick answers all relating to the same subject.
"sure groper, Ip phone is for using your phone as a headset for skype on a pc. Beam is RF, which isnt on your phone. etc..."
"cool man, thanks for making my day easier"
Remember, forums are set up for information and help. I have legitimate questions that ive searched and still need answers. If you don’t want to help, then don’t bother posting.

2 -> it switches between GSM und UMTS (3G)
3 -> same as Settings -> Connections -> Beam -> Receive all incoming beams.
I think it must be enabled to receive incoming bluetooth beams.

1. VOiP (Not for a headset for Skype but actual skype itself)
2. Verizon uses CDMA not 3g, so does not apply to you
3. works with lightsaber.cab and garagedooropener.cab
4. Verizon chokes chickens? Sounds like a personal issue. If it's that big of a deal I'd look into a proxy or something, not sure if that would help
5. If you needed Direct Push you would know the answer or have an IT guy to ask. Of which I are neither
Sandwich please!!!
On a sidenote, there are alot better comm managers out there might want to look into the Raphael CDMA threads for stuff that people use with Verizon and the Touch Pro. GSM devices such as ATT and Tmobile are different hardware wise then those of verizon and sprint(?) which use CDMA as radio frequencies. Hope this helps

So you got a cab from someone that you cannot trace. You then loaded it to your $1,000.00 phone without knowing what all the functions are.
Now you are giving me grief because I suggested (in an attempt to help you help yourself) that you google for the cab or the guy who made it as most of the software developers on XDA usually give information on what their software does.
Your response was pretty much what I expected and why I did not give you the direct answers. You want to be molly coddled and fed fairy floss, call HTC. They will at least pretend to give a ****.

I'm using RC3, too, but have a look at the screenshot.
I only touched "Beam"...
You can't receave files via Bluetooth if you disable Beam, don't know why this thing is still there, I think it comes from the times of IR.
I really like the phone, build quality and also the speed of the phone, multitasking is made so easy and smooth.
But there are 2 main things that annoys me: When enabling "Mobile data" I get a warning about extra charges. And secondly the speakers, very timid when driving on the motorways whilst using sat nav (Waze).
My question is, what are the best fixes for the above? Custom ROM? If so, which one? I see two Rom threads that has high views, but I dont think there are any screenshots of how the Rom it self looks, im using to the S3 section, where devs post up SS's of the Roms in action.
As for the speakers, I have seen an audio fix named Acid, will this a good idea?
2nd to last, mobile data warning: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393284&page=3 - I see that the last post was about the fix not working? Any other solutions?
Lastly, Rooting, which is the best/easiest method to use?
Sorry for all the questions, I will generally youtube up vids on how to do thing, but there isnt many vids regarding the Z1.
Thanks guys.
1) when you get the mobile data warning, just tick the "do not show this again"
2) I find sound ok, when connecting to bluetooth speakers ensure you crank the volume back up to max
3) As for rooting, there are several guides to do it. So just a few of the sticky threads in the general and dev section.

hmm, once you have rooted you can stop the warning anyway.
But you should get the option to stop it. Are you on contract or pay as you go? Which FW are you on?

Im on contract, O2. Im currently on the newest: 14.1.G.2.257
Looking for opinions and suggestions for enabling texts and SMS messages to display on the MTCB unit while driving. What, if anything are you guys using?
I searched around already, and found one thread where someone was using tasker and other functions to get messages displayed on the unit from their phone, but that solution didn't appear to be very reliable.
Is there an app that everyone is using? Or am I just late to the party? lol
I realize quite a few of you are using 3G connections with your MTCB, so this conversation is more geared towards those utilizing their Bluetooth only phone connection.

Even using a 3G/4G dongle cannot solve the SMS reception problem because these SMS are normally sent to the phone number, not to the 3G/4G SIM number. At most the dongle can be used to send SMS.
ATM no easy solution to this problem (and for social networks use too).
Have you looked at Tablet Talk? I'm not sure it would work over BT since the BT in these devices is locked down, but I believe there is also the option of using Wifi.
The other thread was mine and I was looking for the same thing
As mentioned above, I don't think it's actually possible with these units since it seems the Bluetooth is locked down. Can't remember the specific details but I'm sure it's to do with the Bluetooth service that handles the messages.
I could be wrong though but I know its not possible with tasker anyway and I don't think tablet talk works with Bluetooth cause I looked into that too. At the moment the way I do it is through data which as you say isn't quite as reliable
If you find anything though let me know

That's why I started this thread, to see if anyone had made any breakthroughs since your initial post. I went ahead and wasted the money on Tablet Talk, and I can confirm that the Bluetooth connection is the issue (Error Code:1) with our units. This seems like such a basic feature that Android would be capable of... my wife's Jeep does it automatically in Uconnect.
One thing I was considering trying with TabletTalk is to go into the factory settings, with the 126 password, and toggle around the Bluetooth type the unit is currently using. I know saving anything in this menu will effectively reset my unit, unless I save settings in Xposed, so I need a block of time to try it that I don't have right now. If it would even make a difference.

I know saving anything in this menu will effectively reset my unit, unless I save settings in Xposed, so I need a block of time to try it that I don't have right now. If it would even make a difference.

That's a good idea actually! If I get some free time I'll have a go
Like so many others, I keep experiencing countless issues with AA informing me that it doesn't know how to send a text, that it's still learning of that it needs to gather more information. I'm on a Samsung S10 5G in a Kia Soul. First I tried a new cable. No help. I tried clearing the phone's cache. No help. Have tried multiple messaging apps. No help. (Currently using Pulse). Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.
How rubbish Rodney?
I don't understand your question. Its lack of consistency in doing things like simple sending/reading of SMS messages makes even the iPhone solution much more usable.
He is saying AA is crap and he is looking for a suitable working alternative.
I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. But I'm still learning *grin*
That's just it, I don't know. Are we stuck with it? Is there any app that can unify multiple apps and put them on the car's screen? I don't think so. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Apple's implementation of something is better than Google's.
In my truck not only does the factory head unit ask to read calls and text via Bluetooth but also via android auto. It could be possible that the two techs are competing and causing errors. One thing that may revel clue to or two is to park and open Matt log with your phone plugged in as you normally do and have someone send you texts and look for any errors.

Thanks! One question: What's Matt log? AA has also started saying something along the lines of, "Sure, but first let me get some more information" - around this point the voice generally fades out and I can't here anything else, but sometimes it also continues with - "select the prompt on your device" but there's never a prompt.
With my car it only works via the steering wheel controls when the phone is connected via the USB cable. I might have to see how it works with just OK Google.
I thought this one was fixed... but every time I've tried to send a text lately "OK Google text X person" ti gives me let me gather some more information... then nothing. Am I doing something wrong, or is texting through assistant on AA broken?
