So, I checked what the status for the bug you mentioned, it seems to be because some services like MFE or Facebook don't allow sharing the contacts to third parties (yes, you don't have the right to share *your* contacts with yourself, that's smart). So I guess that for this reason the bluetooth daemon filters on "local" contacts only, I still don't understand why that would exclude contacts synced from bluetooth (which as far as I know are seen as local contacts)... Anyway, it seems that the issue is being worked on, I can't promise anything regarding a fix since there is no solution yet, and it's not my team. Furthermore, I'm not totally sure what my NDA allows me to tell About the ecosystem, you'll surely never reach the level of iOS or Android, I'm personally in this category of users that don't need millions of apps, but I can understand it's a blocker for some people.
Here we go again: Problems with accessing phonebook from carkit via Bluetooth PBAP-profile... N900 didnīt support PBAP-profile out of the box, but some genius minds solved the issue by providing updated obex files as described here and here wiki. N9 seems to be capable of PBAP, but when I connect to my carkit contacts are not transferred correctly... Just a few, seemingly random, contacts are transferred and even those are a mess...For some contacts no number is shown at all, for some contacts the very same number is shown twice or even three times! Maybe its again this issue with the missing CRLF separation between vCards as described here? Can someone confirm or is it only me with this problem? Any help on this would be highly appreciated, I assume not only by me as this is a very useful (and must have!) feature for many users!
