http Posted July 20, 2013 at 08:29 PM Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 at 08:29 PM Need some help from the forum. I'm eligible for a smartphone upgrade on Verizon and I've been looking at trading my Motorola Droid for a Samsung Galaxy S4, however, it looks like I'll lose some features on SYNC. According to the phone compatibility chart on SyncMyRide, my Motorola supports: Automatic Phonebook Download Bluetooth Audio Streaming Caller ID Call History Download Join Calls Photo ID SMS Text Messaging Transfer to Privacy If I transfer to Samsung, I'll lose Automatic Phonebook Download, Photo ID and SMS Text Messaging capabilities. Is that correct? Anybody out there using the Galaxy S4 who can confirm? I have used those features on my Motorola and would hate to lose them. Thanks!

murphy Posted July 20, 2013 at 09:03 PM Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 at 09:03 PM I have a Galaxy S II. Automatic phone book download works.Text messaging works.I don't know what Photo ID is. I find it hard to believe that an S IV would have fewer capabilities than an S II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
http Posted July 20, 2013 at 11:44 PM Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 at 11:44 PM Strange but true. The SyncMyRide compatibility list shows the S II of capable of phonebook download and text messaging. On the listing for S III and above, those features are missing. My confusion is that the features aren't listed. With some phones, the features are listed, but x'ed out so you know they tested them and they failed. In the case of the Galaxy S III and S IV, the features aren't even listed. I'm not sure if they aren't available or just weren't tested. Photo ID puts up a picture of the person who is calling (or who you called) on the screen if you have a photo of the person on your phone. My wife hates her picture, but it's kinda cool.
