[Q] Way to send address from phone to car nav? - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm new to windows phone and loving my new Nokia 920. Does anyone know of a way to send an address found in Nokia maps or any other application to the nav system of your car? Coming from android there was an app called send2car that worked with google maps. You find where you're looking to go in google maps and then hit share and choose your car (in my case a BMW) and the car would then receive a message with the address and I would just click navigate. Very simple way of entering destinations in your nav system. Is there a way to do this on windows phone? Thanks everyone!

Microsoft Live!

I need something to explain to me why everyone likes this program? I guess I dont understand it enough to know exactly what it is or why the facination. Isnt it simply a search engine and if so isnt google better? I suppose this is a lame question but for the last year or so I have been hearing people talk about live as if its the next best thing to sliced bread. So whats the scoop?
Do you mean Live Search, the alternative to Google. Or do you mean Windows Live, found at get.live.com, the family of Web Services that microsoft has/is developing of which Live Search is one such service.
Web Search and GPS Mapping
Breaking it down a little more, you probably mean Live Search Mobile which is a mobile app that inlcludes a today screen search box (to search Live Search) and a GPS Map Service. I believe this can be found at m.live.com from your phones browser. This is great if you don't have TomTom or other Sat Nav software. Its free!
Contacts, Email and IM
Then there is the killer app the Windows Live mobil app which synchronises your contacts and Windows Live Hotmail with your Kaiser, and adds Windows Live Messenger to it. For a Hotmail and WLMessenger user this is simply perfect. Download from this thread "Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers [updated 19.11.07] ".
Yeah.
I like some of W Live on my phone. But it doesn't integrate w/ pocket Outlook the way Google does: <MENU>, "Locate in Google Maps"
And, I think that having to pick a location via <State>, <City> is a little arduous. I like just typing "Italian" and "Providence" in Google when I want to eat meatballs and pasta.
But WinLive has the great Movies tab....
It does too. just not as cleanly as google maps. if you go to location settings or directions, it allows choose from contacts. you just can't do it from the contacts screen.
Correct Live Search does allow you to find addresses from you contacts. Also I find that when I enter an address Google Mags is usually off by several houses (mine: one house, a client: 3 houses), where Live Search is usually spot on. Google Maps is better with traffic as Live Search dosen't show my area.
Windows Live Clarification
So just to try and clear up the branding mess that is Windows Live.
Windows Live Mobile Portal
Access WL features via PIE or other mobile web browser. Includes link to mobile web version of Hotmail, Messenger, Spaces, MSN, Search and more.
http://mobile.live.com
Windows Live Mobile Search (Google Search competitor)
As stated above. Simply the mobile web version of the Live.com search engine.
http://m.live.com
Windows Live
Application for Windows Mobile that allows for Hotmail/Live Mail Contact and Email syncing. Includes a Live Messenger chat client and two Today plugins (one which launches Windows Live Mobile Search in PIE)
You can download various builds of the app from this thread.
Live Search
A great Mapping and Local search program for Windows Mobile and Blackberry (Competes with Google Maps program)
Download it from http://wls.live.com
Hope that helps anyone confused with the insane naming scheme MS came up with.
I'll add that Live search with the Kaiser's GPS is very good, center on your location find a location and then it will draw a route on-screen and give turn-by-turn directions on a moving hybrid satellite map with chimes at turn points with text instructions. It doesn't have "heading up" but it's very impressive. I believe Google maps will do something similar, I keep both on-board.
Is there a way to get live search on the today screen? I have installed it but does not show up in the options to display.

Transfering contacts to my car bluetooth system

My car bluetooth system doesn't automaticly import my contacts so I have to do it selecting them one by one and transfering them by bluetooth. Impossible to do (I have more than 300). Does anybody nows a program with you can select all the contacts at the same time and send them by bluetooth?
Thanks
im thinking about getting a ford with sync... is that what you are talking about/having this issue with???
HTC TyTN II can't automaticly send contacts to my car bluetooth hands free system but it lets you sending contacts from the pda to the car by bluetooth. The problem is that with the wm6 contact program you can't select all your contacts at the same time so that you can transfer all of them to the car, it only lets you select one contact and tranfer it to the hands free. I have about 300 cpontacts on my pda and It takes a wild to trnafer only one, that's why I need a program to transfer all my contacts at the same time.
First question really is - would you really want 300 contacts in your car in the first place? Makes navigating through your list a nightmare. Have a look at jetware, put a subset of your contacts into a car category using outlook and get jetware to send that.

I want to instal yahoo messenger on my O2 XDA IIs / XDA III (HTC Blue Angel) Specs

I have tried downloading yahoo messenger and it said the phone does not support the application. But I use yahoo messenger more than the MSN that the phone came with.
I cant aldo use youtube on my phone
Finally, I need a navigator/GPS to help me locate where I am going to. This phone is new to me and I will appreciate if anyone can help.

For youtube use youtubeplay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
or use the official application.
For GPS I would recommend getting a bluetooth GPS receiver and getting the maps for your area.
For yahoo I cannot help.
Thank you so much Cmstackar...But I am still sorry if I sound dumb about these things, but I dont know what a Blutetooth GPS receiver is or whether I need to buy r download one.
I would be glad if u could help me with this final query and hopefully another person would direct me on yahoo messenger
Bluetooth GPS connects through you're phone wirelessly. You could also download and use Google maps if you have a data plan, but you would not be able to tell where you are. Here is an example of a Bluetooth GPS:

Also a HOLOX BT-321 will work well.

[Q] Some Problems with WP7

Hello there ;
I have some problems with my HTC HD7 and i wish i can find a hand here
1- Bluetooth problem :
I can't receive any thing from any Bluetooth enabled Device or computer
it always says NOT SUPPORTED
Besides there is no option to send any thing from the phone
2- #hash numbers#
I can't call any hash numbers (services numbers) which is used from many purposes like knowing my credit , enabling roaming and so on.
ie: *#555# is for knowing the credit
3- Location
is not working with me and i need Google maps which is world wide, How can i get it ?
4- Other Browsers
I need other browser than IE coz i hate this Browser
5- Contacts management
- If i want to delete 90 contacts ,shall i delete them one by one ? "Mass management" .
- If i want to see the Contacts in the SIM card without copying them to the phone memory , How can i do this ?
- Some of my friends have more than one mobile phone, so i need to add these mobile phones to their contact card without adding it as a home phone or the office phone, because adding it as a home or office phone doesn't show The texting Option so i can't send them SMS to this phone no.
- How can i manage these contacts via my Computer , Backup , Edit and Synchronize them?
thanks in advance
Hi,
If you have, or get a Hotmail or Windows Live email address, set it up on your phone, then after you import your contacts to that website they will appear on your phone.
It seems a stupid way to have to do it instead of just plugging it into your computer but it does work. I took 592 contacts across that way.
For the location bit, mine came with Maps on it. I think it's Bing maps and works sort of ok but not as good as Google Maps.
Bluetooth only seems to connect to headsets. It's no use for getting info from another device. I've only had my phone a week but i haven't found a way to bluetooth a contact to another phone yet.
anyway good luck with it.
#646# works for me.
Bluetooth is indeed useless unless you have a headset.
Another browser? You'll have to buy it!
Location works fine but no Google Maps
Contact management is one of the nice things about this OS, it merges into one single place the info from Google, Hotmail and Facebook.
- hash numbers work perfectly fine for me too.
- I have seen some browsers in marketplace, I really like the SurfCube Browser, amazing and innovative design.
Some other great browsers: Browser Plus, Metro Web Browser and 7 Tab Browser.
- For your friends who have more than one mobile number, you can create multiple contacts and then link them together into one contact. This is what i did.

How to click a link in a notification?

Hello,
I use Tasker mainly for tasks concerning my bluetooth devices (e.g. headphones and car to start the music player).
Recently, I started using Android Auto in my car.
In a lot of situations, I drive and my partner searches for an address on her phone. Afterwards I have to tell Google Maps on Android Auto the address. To make this process more efficient, our idea is that my partner sends me the address through a messenger and I directly have it in my Android Auto/Google Maps.
We tried the following:
My partner sent me the Google Maps link through a messenger and the Google Assistant in my car just read out the text. Unfortunately the Google Assistant does not recognize the Google Maps link.
What I want to do therefore is:
- Use Tasker with NotificationListener Plugin
- I made a profile which listens to notifications in my messenger app. As soon as there is a text in the notification which begins with "https://maps." an action is started.
- And at this step I don't know how to continue.
Can someone help me with the actions?
I have to check the variable %nltext and click on the Google-Maps link. How do I do this?
Thank you very much.
EDIT: I found my mistake. I had to set a global variable which consists of the local variable %nltext to be able to use the split function. I thought, I could also split local variables.
