The devices pair ok but then the phone acts like nothing is happening when I try to sync contacts from the car or home phone or BlueAnt headset. They all see the Nexus 6 and start to sync but they end with 0 contacts and the Nexus never shows a popup about it being ok to sync or anything I’ve seen with my other Android phones.
Is there a new setting to allow other Bluetooth devices to start a contact sync?

I've been trying to transfer files from my Nexus to my laptop unsuccessfully............. Everything says paired and ready, but always fails. Let us know what you figure out!
I think the biggest issue is that the Nexus 6 gives you no feedback that anything is happening. I guess they figure it’s cool and you should know you’re trying to sync stuff but that's silly and it should have something on the phone to let you know something is syncing and any info the phone can supply about what it’s doing or why it failed. Anyway…
Nothing worked until I set the house phone into manual sync mode and then went into contacts and used the send function with Bluetooth while a single contact was open. I messed with that for a bit but that is no way to sync all the contacts that I needed to. At least knew the two were talking, no thanks to Google.
Randomly out of nowhere and after turning Bluetooth on and off and deleting the phonebook on the house phone and so on it synced the first 7 contacts and then it would stop. It stopped on the 7th one every time. This was also after I had read that having the Bluetooth settings open on the Nexus 6 puts into a mode that lets other Bluetooth devices see it. I know it’s just for pairing but I was doing that at the time it first sort of worked. I had changed nothing but now I was getting the first 7 every time when I had been getting zero each time. ???
I don’t know why it stopped on the 7th contact every time but had read that others had seen this and reset their phone and reloaded their contacts and everything thinking the contacts list on the phone was corrupted and maybe it is in some way but I went a different way.
Some others had talked about having an Exchange account and Gmail account on the phone and how to sync the contacts that you want. Again, this would be so much better if it asked you what you wanted to sync. So, you go into contacts and top right there is the 3 dots to settings thing and then you can select the “Contacts to display”. Now this like many other things is counter intuitive and it gives you no heads up about it. I had seen this setting before and had it set to display only my Gmail accounts contacts. For whatever reason, none of my Bluetooth devices liked this. I had set the custom option and even if you select one of other accounts it still has the custom groups selected inside the custom option. I found this after changing from custom back to the Gmail account having it still sync the custom groups.
So went online into my Gmail contacts and created a sync group for the car and one for the house with just the contacts that I felt I’d ever call from the car or house. Then selected only that custom group in the Nexus 6 contacts “Contacts to display” custom setting and it synced all of them. Not tried the car yet though.
Good luck.

my gmail worked fine until this morning when i plugged it into my pc using active sync, one thing i noticed at the time is that active sync didn't do anything, i didn't think anything of it because i was only on to charge my phone really quick, it's the fist time i've had my phone plugged into my pc in about 2 weeks, it worked fine before, but now active synt doesn't do anything every since this morning now my gmail doesn't send/receive, i looked at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357829&highlight=gmail+error and i get similar errors, "error syncronizing" and the pop up bubble that says cannot connect, and gives you the settings or dismiss options. i can't see were i can turn off active sync on the phone either, i'm using vista home and a tilt, any ideas on what this could be?
Not sure about Active Sync, but double check your gmail settings to be sure you didn't revert back to the standard ports.
I have an Audi A3 with Bluetooth Sync built in.
My contacts sync fine and all is good with the world, however it seems there are about 10-15 contacts in Alpha order which show first, then after Z, it starts again at the top in a "2nd" alpha list.
I have no categories setup.
Has anyone ever seen this before?

Hi. I have the same situation in my A6. Haven't really bothered to look into it. Also, I DO use categories. Perhaps its the fields populated with the particular contacts' details being different to the others?
I also have the problem whereby, without withholding my number, it comes up as "withheld number" when I call another mobile from the car kit but not if I just use the handset.
Audi Q7 MMI seeing some contacts over BT and not seeing others
Hi,
I just purchased Audi Q7 with MMI and BT, paired my Kaiser without problem, I can upload contacts from my phone - but I can see some contacts and not others (all are in the phone memory), and I haven't been able to figure out any difference between those I can see and those I can't.
Any ideas?
Problem solved
Hi,
i solved the problem by installing Jetware Handsfree Extension. It works now, just when importing contacts I get surname and name in the "name" field and every phone number (regardless if it is stationary, mobile etc.) gets put in stationary (office) field.
Cannot figure this out.
Hi everybody,
I'm really struggling with the BBC for the Tilt. I would MUCH rather use ActiveSync, but it's against company policy so I'm SOL on that. I'm forced to either buy a Blackberry and give up my Tilt or install BBC. I chose the later.
I've been having problems with it ever since and I've had trouble finding resources to help out (mainly because most people don't use BBC on Tilt).
Here are the problems:
1. BBC often will randomly say "suspended by user" (even though I haven't), which prevents me from getting new messages, and unless I'm always looking to see if the service is running, I'll never know if I'm not getting email or if it suspended itself
2. BBC will just as often randomly say, "blocked - radio in use".
3. I can't get any integration going with the calendar at all. And when I receive calendar/meeting requests, it comes to the Tilt as email messages, not as meeting requests, so I can't accept them and add it to my calendar
Now, the limited amount of information I was able to find suggests that problem #2 may have something to do with interference with ActiveSync. I've tried the technique where I add a fake server source then make the schedule manual, but ActiveSync still won't go away permanently. I use it to access my Tilt files through Windows, so I can't uninstall it altogether. Also, when I tried to uninstall it before, it deleted all of my non-SIM contacts from the Tilt along with it, because all of my contacts were imported from Outlook.
Anybody have any ideas or solutions?
I think these are common issues, especially if you are using the Tilt on AT&T.
1) I'll go days without losing connection to blackberry services then it seems like it will lose it every night for 2 or 3 days. It may be related to activesync or it may be related to network issues. I always check the blackberry icon. If there's a "!" there, I know I need to reconnect.
2) At least with AT&T, you can only have one active data connection. Either it's the blackberry service or it's something else. The something else is active and keeping the blackberry service from connecting.
3) Check your pim options screen and make sure the calendar box is checked. If I remember correctly, when I first installed it was not checked by default. Contacts, tasks and notes are also configured in this screen.
You may have a point about activesync. I always kill it when I can but it auto starts. If I understand correctly, it is checking or setting the network time?

Yeah, that's what I usually have to do, but I hate that I have to do it - it defeats the purpose of push email if you have to always check to see if it's still pushing, lol.
People have recommended uninstalling ActiveSync when using BBC, but I can't possibly see how that's practical because I use ActiveSync to maintain my contacts and to add music and files to my Tilt. Is there some other way of doing this without using ActiveSync?

That's what I've read. But there have been times when I've done a Stop All on all services, and I still got a radio in use message. Strangely, there have been times when both ActiveSync and IE were running and I was able to get BBC running no problem. The inconsistency is maddening because it becomes impossible to isolate and cause and solve it.
3) Check your pim options screen and make sure the calendar box is checked. If I remember correctly, when I first installed it was not checked by default. Contacts, tasks and notes are also configured in this screen.

Whatever is being maintained by ActiveSync (contacts) is greyed out on my Tilt, but everything else (calendar, notes and tasks) is checked, so I should be OK. But calendard items are still arriving in my inbox as regular email.

Interesting. I thought I was doing something wrong since people swear by that technique as a way to get ActiveSync to go away permanently. But it always comes back for me.
It says "radio in use" when Media.Net is active possibly through a IE or weather type program.
Some of the NEWER ROMS allow dual connections for BBConnect & Media.net. I saw a thread yesterday that showed the precise registry entry to make to allow this without burning a new ROM.
What thread was this? And when you say "newer ROMS" are you referring to official ROMs like the one on the HTC website or the XDA ROMs?
Demigawd,
Make sure the wireless calendar service (cical) is running properly. What version of bbc are you running? I'm running 4.0.0.97. It's behavior is a bit different than previous versions. It seems to block other data connections instead of bb getting blocked.
The only other suggestion I have is to remove and reinstall bbc. I would also have bes sync everything including contacts until you are sure calendaring is running correctly. If it's still not working correctly, maybe check your bes for a non-standard it policy.
I think the registry entry for multiple data apns is volatile and gets overwritten after every soft reset. A custom rom is probably the only way around that.
i have flashed my tilt with HyperDragon's nov 15th rom...everything is awesome, but i am unable to sync or obtain my email from Gmail...its giving me a data connection error...saying that there is no connection and that i should check my setting...but i can access the internet so i do have access to the internet...help please...thanks in advanced...
Are you using bluetooth when this happens? And have you tried going airplanemode> then turn just phone back on? Then launch gmail? There are a couple weird bugs.
The bluetooth only usually effects wiifii for me... however if your not soft resetting once inawhile i could see maybe your just bugged out. (?)
Theres also an app here somewhere gsynch or something its called, punch in your account shizzle and it synchs you all up.
Hi all,
Purchased the watch couple days ago, yesterday was my first day to really put it through it's paces. Everything seems copacetic except for the WiFi syncing. I've got cloud sync turned on in the Wear app, and WiFi on the watch is set to "Automatic". I verified the watch is indeed connected to a valid WiFi network, with no exclamation points, etc., and I turn off BT on my phone (but keep it's data connection on.) I then try sending a text from the watch, no luck - "Try again from your phone." fail message. I send myself a text from my wife's phone to my phone, the phone registers it, but the watch doesn't. I go into Keep and delete a note on the phone, the watch still shows it. It's not until they reconnect via BT that everything syncs again. Oh, and I tried it on three different WiFi networks (2 at work, 1 at home), no success.
Here's the only thing that I can think of being different. The very first time I turned WiFi off on the watch, there's was a small Yes/No splash screen that came up saying something to the effect of "turning this off will prevent you from syncing"... I THINK. Honestly I can't recall what it said precisely (I was too excited playing with the watch), but the multiple times I've toggled WiFi since then, I have not seen that message again. Anyone know what message I'm talking about? Of course since it hasn't come up again I'm convinced it's the reason WiFi syncing isn't working now. I even factory reset the watch and cleared the data on my Wear app, hoping to get that message back. (It could be completely unrelated, it's just bugging me that ever since I chose "Yes I'm sure", syncing has not worked.)
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.

Did you ever figure this out?
I have the LG WATCH R with the Urbane rom and have the same issue. It shows connect to Wifi just fine but if I am away from the phone, I cannot send anything...just like when I have no connection.
I think the pop up you mentioned just had a option to prevent the warning from coming up again but should not affect the option to disable and enable the cloud sync.
Nope, afraid not. I posted it to the Google Android wear forums and a couple of "experts" replied to me with suggestions that did not help (factory reset, mainly.)

Yep that has been my "solutions" too so far. I am not sure how the Cloud Sync works do you? It is linked to your Google account? If so, I have 3 email accounts..could that create an issue? I am basically looking for anything right now
Here's what I did find out: my daily driver phone is a Moto X 2nd gen running Lollipop. I factory reset an old Samsung S4 and set it up with a Google account I'd just created. I then factory reset the watch and paired it to that phone. Wouldn't you know, the WiFi notifications worked!
I then factory reset the S4 again, this time using my main Google account to set it up. Factory reset the watch again also. After pairing them, the WiFi notifications did NOT work!
So, I can only conclude the issue is caused by how I have my main Google account configured, although right now I've gone through all the settings twice and verified that I have all of my sharing settings (like location) enabled. Argh.

Well my LG Watch R is now able to work with Wifi for real but only at home. Not sure what I did...I just deleted my accounts from Settings and added them back.
At work, though even when it shows connected, I do not receive any info from the Phone which is very lame since it was at work where I could really use it.

I have 3 google accounts so I actually deleted only two that are not my primary. Then I went to the Sync options and made sure all was checked.
Then also for the Location I removed any other devices that are showing under my account that are not my Phone (tablet and older phones) but not sure which one of those did the trick.

Huh, okay, I'll give those a try. Thanks.
I did open a ticket with Android Wear Support and was told they were going to escalate the issue and I'd be contacted in 48 hours. That was Sunday. I just asked for an update and they replied that they have no solution ATM and no time frame to provide one. Heh! Oh well.
