Motorola Q bluetooth

longshortofit · 07-28-2006, 03:42 PM

I just got the Motorola Q with bluetooth from Verizon.
I can connect to the Prius and make and receive calls.

I can transfer contacts to the Prius and it says a successful transfer.

Now my problem.

1. Even when I am just sitting still, I see my phone book contacts, but they are greyed out. So I can NOT choose them or add them to the One Touch screen.
2. If I assign a previous call number to the One Touch screen, then when I start moving the number disappears and I am left with remembering what number I assign to what one touch.

Anybody have any ideas what is wrong.

Thanks

Forgot to say the Prius is a April 2005.

1. I don't have an answer to this one - I was actually surprised at being able to transfer from the phone at all - I think this was something verizon disabled on their phones. I see the same problem though.
2. This is normal - it's just toyota's way of "protecting" us from reading while driving.

I've got a question for you - Have you been able to charge the Q in your Prius? Mine will hold a charge, but it will not charge it at all.

Longshortofit - I own a Q also and I'm interested in how you got the contacts to upload to the Prius. I have an '04 Prius but I hope that is not the prob. I have never been able to upload my V710 to my Prius. Now that I have a Q I am looking to upload my contacts. Did you just follow the instructions?

As far as your concern about the subdued list of contact that won't let you access them, My Guess is, it is because you are moving. You can hack the Prius to allow you to use the system while moving by disabling the motion detector. I found the way to do it on PriusChat.

Sorry man, I just read your question again and I see that you state that you are not moving. My suggestion does not help you.

I would still like to know how you got as far as you did with the transfer of the data base in your Q.

Can you actually see the phone list on your one touch screen? I am not a "fan" of Verizon as you may tell form past posts. I got hosed on the 710. If you hit the phone button on the steering do you go to the one touch or the key pad? If you can do pictures that will help?

I was out of touch for the weekend.

The question about transferring contacts. I just go to the contact I want to be on the Prius. (I have not tried a whole phone book) Then I go to "MENU-Send via Bluetooth" the Prius then asks Replace of Add and I choose Add and then the Prius says successful. Please let me know if you get a contact on the Prius and if yours does the same thing of being grayed out. Thanks

Again they are grayed out while I am sitting in my yard NOT moving.

Repeating. I can see the phone list but it is always grayed out, I figured once I got the number to the Prius that the phone was out of the picture for displaying the info.

I will try and take some pictures and post them later.

[attachmentid=4298]Here is a picture of the grayed out entries in my phone book on the Prius while I am setting in the parking lot. You can see that the alphabet tags are available, but the entries are grayed and can not be selected.

The other pictures of successful transfers, I could not use my camera phone and transfer at the same time. Have to wait until I get home to use a standard camera.

Moby Whaley · 08-01-2006, 12:27 AM

I know this sounds dumb but I was thinking the same thing while charging my V710 in the Prius and what I finally figured out was the Vehicle Charger needed to be rotated a bit till the green light was lit. I know that is a lame answer and a duhhh. But that's what I figured after not charging my phone successfully a few times.

I'm guessing at this one, but I notice that the screen indicates that you have no cell signal. I wonder if no cell signal causes the screen to disable...

It could be that the "no signal" is because the phone doesn't support that option, but the antenna-like symbol should have bars next to it indicating signal strength.

Again, just a guess. Maybe someone can confirm that behavior...

In my '06, I can not dial from my contacts, but I can dial from speed dial while moving. I can ONLY see NAMES in speed dial. The corresponding numbers are missing. It seems to me that if you put names to your speed dial, it might solve one problem. My phone, for reference is a Motorola V3c Razor from Verizon.
