Sony Ericsson P910i - Address Book, SMS and Dialing Problems

I have Sony Ericsson P910a (the american version)
To sync at all I had to do some crazy editing of the /system/library/application support/syncservice/501/SymbianConduitDefaults.plist

file in order to just sync under 10.3 per instructions found on macosxhints.com or someplace like that.

10.4 Tiger fixed all that and syncs via bluetooth flawlessly.

However, I am now finding that Dial via Bluetooth in AddressBook doesn't work for me, nor does Browse Device...

Would love to do the latter, would be nice to do the former, especially the caller ID thing.

Me too. Sony Ericsson P900. Same issues...

ok, well I had k700i working completely fine with address book for sms and dialing on Tiger.

I have just changed to a K750i, I have made the phone my default, I have paired successfully, address book and phone link up but refuse to communicate with each other.

Hmmmm

I have the same problem. I think Sony Ericsson is to blame. They don't update their phones, they seem to redo them completely from scratch. This feature workes both in jaguar and tiger with my older, P800.

BTW, a P910i question. With the lid open, can you move back and fourth betwen the top menu items using the jog dial? It worked in my P800 but the feature is missing all together in P910i, hense the comment above.

See the other thread about 'SMS messages with address book in Tiger' for a method to make and receive calls via Address Book:

Unfortunately, this does not solve the inability to send SMS via Address Book and P900/P910.

Same problem here , switched from an SE t610 to a P910i , syncen works fine but no sms sending or recieving, havent heard of any solution either , hope either sonyericsson or apple does something about this fast because i use that function far the most of all BT functions i have withe phone.

I have the same problems in SMS and dialing in my SonyEricsson T637 in Tiger

The isync update ( 2.1 )just came out and that solved a lot of problems with a lot of phones so install that , and try again maybe that will solve our problems, i'm at work so i can't do it just now myself, but hope that sms with adressbook is now also supported with the P910i .

You cannot send SMS neither can you dial from addressBook using P800/P9x0.

SonyEricsson didn't implement required protocols in its Bluetooth implementation that would allow this to work.

Unless apple come up with a work around using the iSync daemon that gets installed on the phone, we are all out of luck.

D*mn so Sony Ericsson is the problem here, it is just rediculous, if i would have know this on for hand i would have neverbought it, my t610 was working fine, and thats a much cheaper phone, why don't they just take that basis for there newer phones so we don't lose any functionality we had with the older one's. I'm very angry about this , now i know that this is not going to be solved at all.

I can confirm that neither making calls nor sending SMS'es works - but I only found out when the call was not being made (which is fast enough) and when people told me they were not getting my SMS-es.

If we know this isn't implemented in the firmware, shouldn't Address Book not disable the option - or at least produce an error message?

Ideally, yes. Unfortunately its not.

There are a lot of phones, maybe apple can't be bothered to disable options based on the phone you are using.

I used to be able to do it but after I installed Bluephone Elite it stopped... I'm just wondering if I should jusst purchase bluephone elite and install? Wonder if that would fix it.

Is this also the case with Sony Ericsson 750i's?. I've just upgreaded from a Sony Ericcson 700i, which was working fine with sending & receiving SMS from address book, now, very annoyingly, I cannot seem to send or receive with my "better" 750i. It's perfectly paired with my G4 as I've upgraded my contacts using isynch, so that can't be the problem. Any one out there had success sending sms from address book with a 750i??

It does appear to be the case with the 750i unfortunately. I really love this feature and hope Apple will remedy the problem.
