Samsung Galaxy S4

Maybe try contacting samsung support and see whats up! Sorry the contacts wont sync that sucks!

 

Nice.. S4 looks slick.. I still didn't work out iPhone quirks yet! lol..

Samsung is taking over! What don't the have now?

 

Does iPod connectivity not work with Samsung or other Android phones? I am assuming that it doesn't, or Toyota would name this feature "MP3" or something similar instead of iPod. I guess Bluetooth connectivity does everything iPod cable does, so this is rather a moot point. I do have iPhone and it works with Prius without any issues.

 

Not sure if this helps, but I have a Galaxy S3 and mine syncs up just fine in my wife's new Prius (two).

SCH-I535 ? 2

 

I also have a S4 and I don't see contacts either. Didn't know you could sync contacts.

Hrm, keep us informed on this. I am looking at upgrading my worthless Samsung Charge for this phone next month and would hate to lose my ability to have contact list in the car

 

With some previous phones I had to find hidden in a menu in the phone, the command to send the contact list. The car will have a menu item to download (from the phone) the contact list.
I think my Galaxy S (Google S) did it on its' own.

 

When you connect a Samsumg phone it does not say Ipod but simply USB. USB might be a bit better audio quality than bluetooth, but I can't really hear the difference. However, you do have more control of the phone music library over USB than Bluetooth.

 

I have Samsung S III and it syncs contacts no problem with my 2013 Prius 3. The Samsung won't connect for music with my wife's 2012 Prius V 3 which is curious. I am not ready for S IV yet.

 

So I used the phone book option while parked and saw that my contacts were there. Is there a reason why they don't show up in recent calls? It only shows just numbers no names.

 

Have you checked for a firmware update for the S4? I just receive mine, and it worked perfectly AFTER I initiated the firmware update.

 

I also switched from a jailbroken iPhone 4 to the Galaxy S4 (32GB). My USB worked fine for 3-4 days and then stopped working altogether. I'm going to start disabling some apps/tweaks to see if something is preventing it from working. I did get it to initially sync contacts. By any chance did you install one of the application locking tweaks? I installed App Protector as well as AVG AV. If it's something I added to the phone, those are going to be my first suspects.

 

Just to update, I am able to sync my address book without any issues, but it's over bluetooth (I think). I get no audio functions on USB. I get an error that says "Read error occured. This entire device can not be played." (and yes, "occurred" is spelled "occured" in the message). It then gives me a "confirm" button. I'm going to call Toyota about it tomorrow.

 

I was going to buy an S4 tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know of the problem. Guess I'll wait till it's resolved.

 

Please be advised. I am using an S4 with no problems. Just had to refresh my address book via Entune. Make sure you're paired to it for music and not your iPOD... via the setup - bluetooth on your Toyota. Also, check the box and allow access via your phone. Mine asked to allow access for messages, then I could pull them up via Entune, as well.

 

There was a problem with early S3s related to the lock screen. You should always have the phone unlocked when you initially pair with the Prius, as some Bluetooth functions may be blocked by the lock. There are also settings to ensure the phone syncs even when locked. (Try Phone-Call Settings-Accessory settings for call-Outgoing call conditions, and make sure it's set to "Even when device locked.")

That may be at least part of the issue for you. Agree that you also want to ensure that under Bluetooth, you have both checkboxes for media audio and phone audio checked. (You need to be connected to the Prius via BT to confirm the checkboxes, as it will try to connect but not change the profile checkbox if you're not.)

 

I use my iPAD for music, so I am not 100% sure... But, I believe that if you go under the apps menu, you cannot remove, but can DISABLE the Samsung Music Player. Please try that.
