Does this work with Android?

And when you go to the BT Settings in the phone and to the device (car) what protocols/profiles are listed there. On my Honda AFAIR it is only A2DP, AVRCP and HFP.

I can second this. My partner’s Subaru BRZ does not have sms functionality. Bluetooth works (mostly) well otherwise. This is through SFOS, not android. Xperia - lang EN

This is a feature request rather than a bug. These is no implementation of MAP profile.

Implement Bluetooth access to messages (Message Access Profile, MAP)

Title sais it basically. This Profile is most often seen in Car kits, but also things like “Bluetooth Diallers” use it. SFOS already has a nice database for messages, what’s missing is the API/bus glue to the bluetooth layer. Must: Allow reading messages and lists of messages from connected bluetooth device Should: Allow sending (text) messages from connected bluetooth device Nice-To-Have: Display Notifications as “messages” to connected bluetooth device Nice-To-Have: XMPP and other messagin…

It worked perfect with Android-phones.

I don’t know how to get the information about protocols. In the car-Bluetooth management, I discovered that the Xperia is shown with its MAC instead of its name (already discussed in another topic).

Edit (additional information): The battery-Symbol in the car-display shows always 100%, independent from the real, actual battery state of the phone.

Hi Nephros,
your link shows your future request from Oct '20.
Do you think this will be established / supported in the next time?

@Speedy-10

Do you think this will be established / supported in the next time?

Answering this is pure guesswork obviously. My estimation is no and probably never.

Unless there is a community effort to implement the missing bits of MAP and MSP profiles/protocols. Ideally done in the SFOS fork of bluez5/obex and getting that merged into SFOS proper.

Thanks for posting this @Speedy-10, and nice to see you using Bugger to post it

In the interests of keeping things clear, and following @nephros’s suggestion, I’ve moved this to the Feature Requests category; I hope that’s okay, but it’s likely to get more appropriate consideration there.

[Speedy-10]

Thnaks for your work.

@Jolla: Are there plans to provide an " implementation of MAP profile" like nephros stated above?

Is someone of the community working on that?

Comparing to the other OS’s this seems to me a standard feature, that should be implemented in SFOS, too.
