Android Auto Wireless - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi guys and thanks in advance for any help you may offer to me. Updated the beta pie on my galaxy s9+ tmobile phone today. I was wanting to use the android auto wireless feature on my new Kenwood wireless enabled car stereo. So far it is not connecting wirelessly it files connect when plugged in. Do I need to change settings somewhere in android auto as it is suppose to connect thru wifi. Again thanks for the help. Is there a way to report this bug to the beta program if indeed it is a bug?

Wireless AA does not work in this current build. My neighbor has a pix 2 I can hook to my HU no problem wireless, my s9+ on the official beta will not. It's not you...

Thanks for yhenonfo hope the final build supports wireless android auto. Anyway that we can ask them to include in final build?

Hopefully this is being tested in the One UI Pie Beta and will be added to the final build.

[Q] Road Veles Android car stereo add bluetooth support?

Hello all,
I'm after a little bit of guidance on how I might add Bluetooth support to an Android powered Car stereo. It is a "Road Veles" single DIN WinCE and Android device with a 7" flip out screen. The reason I bought this stereo is to run an app by the name of MSDroid. This app was to connect to my vehicle's engine management system via Bluetooth.
Can't post links yet, easy search on Google for Road Veles, look for hit on Chinavasion
The specs say it has Bluetooth, but having tested the device out on the work bench what the specs don't say is that the bluetooth is only accessible for handsfree from WinCE, there is no bluetooth for Android. WiFi via USB dongle works great. I have purchased but not yet received a combined WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I would very much like to have this combined dongle work with the device. The Bluetooth control is not visible under WiFi control inside settings like it is in my Android phone.
Can anybody point me in the direction of where to start with this? Can I root the device and mod to add bluetooth? Is there another ROM I could run? I have done a lot of searching but can't see much at all out in internet land on this stereo!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Arran
Hi, I'm not sure how these sort of things usually work, what sort of dollar value would usually be associated with making a some tweaks to an Android build? ...
Hi again, still looking into this. Any ideas how to tweak the Android 4.0.4 OS to make bluetooth appear inside the settings menu?

Mirrorlink or Android auto on the zte nubia z7 mini

I am one of the lucky people who will get a car with the ability to connect my smartphone to it using Mirrorlink or Android auto.
Anybody here who has tried to connect their nubia z7 mini with Android Auto or Mirrorlink? Is it even possible?
I am currently running Mokee 6.0.1 which is Android Marshallow so I am pretty confident Android auto should work.
So, is anybody using Android Auto with the Nubia z7 mini and if so, which ROM are you using and is it working well?
Since nobody could answer me and I now had the chance to test it, I can confirm that Android Auto works on the Nubia Z7 mini.
I am using Android 6.0.1 from Mokee (MK60.1-nx507j-201604060258-NIGHTLY) and everything works out of the box with no bugs or problems.
Don't know if anybody is interested in this but I can as well share the information since it might be useful someday to somebody .
Get Nubia to work with mirrorlink
Hi, i see that you've managed to get your nubia phone to work with mirror link. I was just wondering if u could help me?
I understand my phone is Nubia z11, a bit different from yours but i was wonderring if there is anyway i can make mirror link in my car to recognise my Nubia z11?
Ive downloaded android auto into the phone but whenever i connect my phone to my car using USB it just keeps saying that it doesn't recognise the device or device not detected. Is there anything i can do to make my car recognise the phone?
Thank you
First of all, there is a difference between mirrorlink and Android Auto. Mirrorlink is a technology that mirrors your phone screen on your car and works with most older car models. Android Auto was developed by Google and your car needs support for Android Auto to make it work.
Mirrorlink has never worked for me but since I can use Android Auto, I never really bothered to try so I cannot assist you with mirrorlink .
For Android Auto I can only suggest you to google everything you can find about it and as far as I have experienced, there are a couple of tricks you can try that solve AA problems in 80% of the cases
1. Use a high-quality USB cable
2. Enable the Media Transfer Protocol on your phone
3. Make sure that your time and date is set correctly on your car.
4. Check if Android Auto works correctly on your phone before connecting it to your car
5. Make sure google play services is installed correctly
6. Check if the bluetooth connection is on
All I can say is good luck since AA is sometimes a real pain in the ass
No android auto works fine but it's getting it to show up on my new car's monitor screen !!! ??????

Has anyone found an app to activate BT tethering that works in 7.1.2?

So ever since my pixel XL updated to 7.1.2 I have been having nothing but problems keeping Bluetooth tethering active. I can't say that tethering via BT ever worked well on my pixel out of the box, but there were a variety of apps like BTAutoTethering did a good job of ensuring BT tethering was switched on whenever a specific device was connected. However, all these apps seem to be broken in 7.1.2.
This is really causing an issue for me because the device I need to tether is a medical device. Without these apps to help me using just stock android Bluetooth tethering just turns off after 10 to 60 minutes.

Newer versions of Android and PS4 controller

Hey everyone! Thanks for viewing this thread.
I have a suspension that Android became incompatible with the PS4 controller at some point, maybe 7.X. I can plug it into my stock Note 3 (running 5.X) using an OTG cable, and input works immediately. Unfortunately this will not work on my 8.1 Pixel or a friend's 7.x LG V20. Also, it will connect to my phone through Bluetooth and is recognized as an input device, but will not respond at all.
I'm looking for any insight on this issue, as well as any tips that may get it working. Thanks in advance!

Stable HP TouchPad ROM With Bluetooth & Wifi

Is CyanogenMod the only ROM for Touchpad that has bluetooth enabled? I've been using Evervolv but it seems that bluetooth still is not functioning there.

From all the available Android ROM from this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
WiFi works on all ROMs:
Bluetooth works on:
Kitkat , Lollipop and Nougat.
It all depends what features of Bluetooth is been use. Is an old hardware it has it limitations.
For File transfer it is best to use WiFi, take a look here:

I'm wanting to use it for music streaming and bluetooth connect a speaker to stream from pandora/YouTube music.
Do you have a recommend?
Interesting enough, I'm currently on Evervolv which runs Nougat but bluetooth does not work for me.

What version of Evervolv Nougat?
I am referring to 7.1.2 from this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/general/hp-touchpad-optimize-android-swap-t3901773
The Tablet does a very good job at streaming and also playing with the loud speakers it has.
I know the Bluetooth works as I use it for the OBDII on the car.
When it comes to music and do not like Bluetooth for its low quality, I use wire AUX connection.

Looking at my settings it shows:
Android Version -> 5.0.2
Kernel version -> [email protected] #1
Thu Mar 19 05:47:08 PDT 2015
okay super old version
Interesting enough - the bluetooth option now seems to be working, but the wifi shows an exclamation point beside it and is not working atm. It was working a few days ago when I was trying to get bluetooth to work.
I'm going to do some googling but I think there was a way I could update directly from the touchpad.
Here I am almost 24 hours later and still unable to get the wifi to connect. Since I am already on evervolv - what steps would I need to take to update to the most recent version sans wifi?

WiFi works with all ROMs and Bluetooth up to Evervolv 7.1.2
For WiFi to work the router needs to be properly configure and the user must know how to connect to the WiFi network.
By the way, I did try Bluetooth for playing music on a car stereo and works perfectly, hours of playing with no issues. I was very impress!
For the second time, here is a link to all Android ROMs and to flash it to get the most out of it.
