Samsung is supposed to be releasing a maintenance SW update for this and a few other issues that they are having with other vehicle lines as well as ear buds and BT speaker systems. I was told that it should be released this month, I have tried to get them to give me an idea of when. Still waiting for a reply back.

Thanks!

So this is where the timing is becoming a problem, if our issue was the only one then it would be easy. What I'm being told is that they plan on a maintenance update late this month - early July.
Just my monthly check-in. Any new words of hope from anyone at Samsung?

Samsung is still working on other issues that they need to add to the maintenance update. There is a member on Challengertalk.com that has found a widget that he says works. See post # 62.

Samsung has given the SW update to Sprint and Verizon who now have to validate it and then release it. Hopefully they won't take much longer.

Default Maybe a solution

I found this on the Jeep Wrangler site;
Go to
Settings > More > Location Services > My Places

Select Car, Select Blue Tooth, and then save.

I am now able to find my phone book on UConnect. I am using android version 4.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 with the 430N. Many thanks to "Crazy Mike" for the post and "BigWreck" for the re-post.

Man, there is really no reason why that should work at all, but I'll give it a shot next time I'm in the car. I'm hoping that this software update that's been passed to Sprint and Verizon gets implemented quickly and fixes all the above for the Uconnect.

Yeah, I have no idea why this worked. Just a heads-up, this worked for my 2014 Wrangler. It even reads text messages now. However, it did not work with my 2011 Grand Cherokee (same 430N radio). I hope the Verizon update is soon.

Which device? S4? Not sure the release notes indicated any Bluetooth improvements.
