Hello all,
since yesterday i have my new car. In this car i have also MirroLink, SmartLink, Android Auto (Android Car) and Apple CarPlay.
Now i have connectet my Z2 via cable in the car and MirroLink is working fine. If i change the settings in the Car to "Android Auto", nothing happens.
Is this a problem with my Z2 and Android 5.1.1 (offical update from Sony, no custom ROM)?
I hope you can help me,
Thanks and best regards,
Nico

hi
i have an m155 plantronics bluetooth headset which has a specification of bluetooth version 3.
when i use it with my android jellybean 4.1.1 mobile phone ALCATEL 5035E (unrooted) to play music, the music stutters,
drops off, then resumes, then finally drops off completely without resuming, although bluetooth
icon remains blue. i touched the bluetooth icon to disconnect it. the icon
blinks and does not stop.
i brought my mobile phone for service and they replaced my phone with a brand new one. but the same problem occurred.
the technicians said it could be a problem with the bluetooth compatibility with the android jellybean. they said to update my bluetooth device so that it becomes compatible with the android 4.1.1. i was skeptical because i had this vague thought that there is no such thing as updating the software on a bluetooth headset.
i checked on my android device, and the bluetooth version on the mobile phone is 4.1.1-1350
sorry if i sound stupid to ask you guys. but i need to give the technicians an answer so that we can move forward in finding the problem. Your answer will help us go in the right direction.
does the bluetooth headset need to be the same version with the android phone in order for it to function properly?
is there an android update that fixes my issue? if so, how do i get it?
thanks much
Hello!
I use my Android phone as a OBD scanner (with a bluetooth elm327 interface).
I started using it with Android 1.8 on my HTC HD2.
I had no problem up to Samsung S3 with Android 4.1.2.
After I upgrade to Android 4.2 (with the same S3, or with Huawei G700) and 4.4 (on LG G3 and OnePlusOne),
I need to pair my bluetooth OBD scanner every time I restart it (my scanner has a power on/off button).
This is very unuseful!!!
Someone can tell me why?
How can I solve?
Thank you in advance!

What brand Bluetooth device is this? Does this only occur on your OBD scanner and not your other devices after the update?

Bluetooth scanner is "Vgate" branded.
That occur not only with my device after update (S3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2),
but with all device with Android 4.2 and over (Huawei G700, OnePlusOne, LG G3 D855).
No problem with Android 4.1.2 device (HTC HD2 with SD Android 4.1.2 and lower, S3 before update).
Why?
I suppose something changes in Bluetooth driver on Android 4.2 and newer...
Has anyone who has received their z5 have an android auto head unit in their car to test with? I'm having a problem where audio from Google play music won't play over USB when I'm using android auto. I'm wondering if it is just me.

I dont have the android auto head unit, nor I have the Z5 but I do have one suggestion.
Is it a Bluetooth connection between the unit and the phone? If so, maybe u used the unit with a previous device? You can try reset the unit to factory defaults if possible.
I use an alpine car radio for Bluetooth calling and after updating my Z from KK to LP, it did connect but not all features where working.
A full factory reset of the radio fixed this, so it might fix things for u also
Sorry, but no that isn't the problem. Android auto does not use Bluetooth audio for media. It uses USB audio for media, and Bluetooth audio for phone calls.
Is it only Google play music that doesn't work? Does Spotify work?

I found that amazon music also does not work but Spotify and tunein radio work fine. Weird.
Just for anyone googling and finding this thread--
Software update 32.0.A.6.152 fixes this problem.
Google play music playing through android auto now works correctly.

Still isn't working for me and I'm on 32.0.A.6.200 - I've got a VW Discover head unit and it tries and fails to link using Android Auto before failing over to Mirrorlink.
I've got the VW Discover Media and don't have any problem.
At the begining, the connexion was crappy (2 or 3 attemps to finaly work) but now, I've disabled Throw and it's working...
I've since upgrade to Android 6.x (Marshmallow) on the Z5 Compact and still no luck getting it to work with the VW Discover head unit ... does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried the usual stuff like setting USB for MTP transfer and enabling USB debugging/dev mode.

2016 GTI owner, with the Discover head unit. I got my Z5C today and applied all the updates to take it to 6.0. Didn't have to do anything other than install the Android Auto app, sign into GPM and accept the various disclaimers.
My previous experience with setting up Android Auto is that your phone needs an active data connection during setup.
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 !!! ??????
