Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers

Dear all
Have recently bought a Fiat 500 with Blue & Me.
The pairing with my mobile phone was initially fine and the phone worked well via Bluetooth. The phone was a Sony Ericsson W760.

Then I made a big mistake and put the phone in the washing machine ! So, get a new phone, same model again but this time the Blue & Me doesn't work properly.

I have a tip on this when you drop your phone in water and I promise it really works.
Separate your phone, the back the battery and the phone itself but keep in the memory card.
Place all the bits in a bag of rice!!! for at least 2 days, your phone will be working after.
I know it sounds really funny but my friend works for a phone company and it does work.
i did it with mine once after dropping it in the sink in a pub!
 
Ha, I might try that. Does it work with other gadgets or just phones? :D

yes it does, I used it because my electric toothbrush stopped working (the joys of having a 2 year old) it was dropped in water, I used this method and its working fine again.

everyone I know that has done it says it works. Just pass the info on - remember the memory card stays in though. The phone has be in it for at least 2 days and must be fully in the bag of rice - any cheap old rice will do!
 
Hi Guys

I have a Nokia E71 and have paired the phone to take incoming calls and can make outgoing calls if i dial from the handset. The problem seems to be copying my contatcs, i have tried sending business cards via blue tooth with no luck. Can anyone help?

nokia 6300 or 6301:
"Nokia 6300- connects but does not download the contacts, message reader does not work" from member Kop32
"I've got a Nokia 6300 and that downloaded my contacts absolutely fine. I can't use the sms facility though." from member devon_guy
"I've just bought a Nokia 6300 and it refuses to download my contacts. Any ideas? Do you know what software version you are running? (settings->phone->phone updates->Current softw. details). I am running "V 05.50 14-08-07 RM-217"." from member scarlet_man

samsung f480 black

sony ericson c902

samsung u800
"the Samsung will but the G600 is very tempermental with Blue&Me,the newer Samsungs (U800,Soul) work ok (except of course the message reader)." from member Kop32

motorola roker e8
I've asked around here a while ago, and on other forums, but no one seemed to try it with Blue&Me.

samsung m8800 pink
No idea.

This list is not really up to date, but might help you.

PS.: Use the Search function, because some of your questions have already been answered here. ;)
 
Sony Ericsson is the manfacturer of choice if you want all features working (on almost 100% of all SE handsets); Apple seems to be the worst handset for integration and Nokia will connect to make/take calls but not a lot of the phones will work with the other features. Samsung seems to work well but most won't work with the text reader.

The issue is how the phone manufacturer has implemented Bluetooth and how many of the bluetooth protocols have been implemented...most phones have the basic handsfree/headset profile so they can connect and make/take calls...others have more protocols installed and will do more i.e. synch with the address book; text reader, etc.

If you don't synch automatically with your phone and B&M, then you can manually send your phone contacts to the system.
 
Hello, all you fellow Blue & Me sufferers,

Can anyone tell me how to make Blue & Me play an album in correct track order from an iPod? For many it doesn't matter much, but for quite a high proportion it matters in that tracks flow into each other, or songs follow on from previous songs to make a story etc. I am on my third system :bang: and it still will only play the tracks in alphabetical order of title - and yes, the Shuffle function is OFF. I am sure it is a software problem but the garage disagrees and keeps changing the unit. No doubt costing them and Alfa money.

Also, can anyone tell me how to make to make a phone call when the phone is locked? I keep mine that way in case of losing it. Apparently it is supposed to do this. My phone is a Nokia 6124 (a model apparently exclusive to Vodafone but no doubt identical to others).

Thank you in advance for any tips. (y)

Can i change the Head Unit and still keep the functions of Blue & me, as long as the new head unit supports things like usb and bluetooth?
 
Its totally seperate. Doesnt matter what headunit you get or what features it has it cant be used with an aftermarket unit. The Standard HU has parts in it which the blue and me needs to work i think.

Sorry. I totaly misread you first reply. I thought you said i could keep it if i replaced the HU. Dyslexia strikes again
 
Hi All!

I have a problem with using the Media Player with my Blue&Me system. I have a Silicon Power 4 GB USB PenDrive, and I was able to use it smoothly for a week. This morning entering in the Media Player menu I was asking for the folders, but I've got an error "No Media" :(. This is very interesting, since the "Play All" function is still running, so Blu&Me plays MP3s from the pendrive in a random order. Unfortunately all other functins, Playlists, Genere, Artists etc. result a "No Media" error. :eek:
Does anyone faced such a problem?

Please help me!:cry:
