No Device name for incoming Bluetooth files

Hi , i noticed when i am receiving files from other devices using bluetooth , i only get receiving file notification but no devices names!! in other words i don't know who is sending the file.. is there any way to know the device name!!

Cant send any messages?!

EDIT: for whatever reason it started working just after i posted this from my tilt but if anyone knows, i would like to know possible causes.
Yesterday it was fine but now i cant send any messages (like email and sms but phone and internet are fine) on my tilt. I go into messages, and try to send a new message but all the text fields wont let me type anything and the "Add recipricant" menu option is greyed out.
As i said i was able to send a text message yesterday. the only things i did today that wasnt normal was use TrackMe. i recorded a few gps coordainates offline because i had no signal. then when i got home, i soft restarted because my signal wouldnt recover (and i knew i could get a signal here). then i uploaded my offline positions.
now im here. since active sync wont work on my company laptop, i was going to email the kml to myself and thats when i noticed i couldnt send anything.
has anyone experienced this before or know any ways to fix it (i already tried a soft reset).

[Q] Help: Phonebook sync with Audi car fails

I have been struggling with this for the past week and if I can't get this resolved, I will be sending back my HTC One and going back to a Galaxy.
When I pair my phone with me 2013 Audi A6, it attempts a phone book transfer but then dies before completing. I end up with no contacts showing up as well. These are the same contacts that I sync via Outlook.com on my Samsung which has no issues. Now before anyone starts telling me that the "One" is not compatible with the Audi MMI (which it has not been tested on), if I manually add contacts to the phone everything works perfectly fine. So it's not the car or necessarily the phone, but something that the phone does when sending contact information to the car that causes it to crap out.
I've gone through my contacts to clean up any strange formatting or information but it doesn't seem to help. And again, my Galaxy S3 works without an issue.
In looking over other forums, it would seem the HTC phone seem to have issues with various car bluetooth links. Is it something in the way they handle their phone book? Would another ROM solve this problem?
Appreciate any input you might have!

Hello, that's a bit strange because I had no problems with the transfer in my 2010 Audi. Could be a different version MMI,can't think of another reason.
Solved!
After a lot of troubleshooting and back and forth I finally figured this out. My contacts have been populated by an automatic business card scanner. Apparently when it reads a business card address, it will insert a "\n" (carriage return) into some of the street addresses. It appears that the HTC phone book doesn't translate that correctly and sends the "\n" directly to the car phone book which chokes on it. Removing the "\n" from the address entries resolves the problem.
Why did my Samsung not have a similar issue? That's because it does NOT SEND the "\n" to the car because the Samsung phone book strips off the "\n" as it stores the address. I confirmed this by synching both phones with my Outlook.com account and then going to the respective phone's contacts/people and exporting the address book in VCARD format. On the Samsung phone, there were no "\n" entries while on the HTC they were there.
This probably affects all the fields that are transferred to the car... fields such as Notes are not transferred and therefore not an issue.
While this is my first HTC phone, I suspect they all act this way which means, if you have any HTC phone and are having a problem synching with your car (an rampant problem judging by a google search), I would check your contacts to see if you have any "\n" entries and remove them and then seeing if they work.
Sorry for the long post, but I thought if someone one day does a google search and comes across this post, then they will at least have a better understanding of a possible solution!

Bluetooth, beam etc not sending files

Strange text activity on my phone

Any help to explain what happened would be very much appreciated.
1) At 10.42 am this morning i was driving on a country road near devizes in uk with no other cars around and intermittant phone signal.
2) I received a text "google verification code" that came up on my car's system (toyota system linked by bluetooth to my huawei p20 pro).
3) Surprised (because i wasn't trying to log into anything at the time and my wife was at swimming lessons with the kids so not her) i pulled over to check but i could not find a copy of the text on my phone (but i took a picture of it displayed in the car).
4) on returning home i contacted:
A) Google said change password but not them
B) Huawei said change password but not them
C) Virgin mobile say phone does not appear to be cloned
Anyone got any ideas? (I have changed the password from a different device and received the relevant Google confirmations for doing that)
Any idvice gratefully received and thanks!
