At the end of the week, the new Evo 4g comes out, and I was cusrious if the Droid O/S works like that of the iPhone, ie: contacts coming up, one touch dialing from a stored POI...

If your asking if there is an AVIC FEEDS app for Android phones the answer is no.

Feeds, no, I am curious about bluetooth, using phone-based contacts, etc... I am no fan of Feeds.

Presumably yes. As long as the phone will allow the unit to pull its contacts it shouldn't be a problem. Some phones however will only allow you to push the contacts from the phone which may be a problem, with the unit. If I remember correctly however, several people on this site have reported that the Android phones work fine.

sweet, that would make life easier for me. I like the hotspot functionality of the phone, because I am already streaming pandora to the car via Sprint's 4g.

I have not used it yet (since I don't have a mic with my HU) but there is a bluetooth app that will let you push your contacts. You can try that and see how it works.

 

I will try the app later and report back if it works.

I just went out to my truck and the app (Bluetooth File Transfer) worked like a charm on pushing the contacts to the HU. Now to find a compatible mic or a better mic than the one that comes with the HU.

I have the 120bt and my Nexus One works great. I get my contact and BT streaming works like a charm.
