Hi
I bought recently an Android TV box with satellite tunnner K1 PLUS DVB.
When I first bought it the time was non synchronized so I just set it to automatic.
However, although the shown time is correct, the EPG time is not, so it is impossible for me to automatically record programs on saatellite!
Please if someone has a solution cuz am
I am also facing this problem
All times first start time is not showing properly
Anyone knows why I get no TV channels? I only have cable TV, so I used the T2 connector. I tried auto scan with different countries (I live in Austria, but no Austria in the list) and manual scan where I wrote a few channel frequencies on their corresponding transponders. I tested signal with cable connected and with the cable disconnected and I saw movement of the signal bar from 99% to lower than 40%, so there is signal. But no channels. There is no dedicated forum for this device. Any advice?
There are two different BVB-T standards for the channel spacing and "decoding", check if you can select a different profile or region.
If in doubt check what standard is used in Austria and select a corresponding one from the list, Germany should be on the same standard if I recall correctly.
And although it might sound stupid but if you have a wireless housephone then turn the mobiles and base station off while doing a channel search.
I had the problem several times and only once the phone was really dead the BVB-T receiver was able to connect to stations.

I can't see any option anywhere in my SGS2 to set a BT paired device as "authorized". Every time I enter in my car I've to manually select the BT device and start manually the connection.
I searched in the forum but didn't find answers.
I also tried to look at the filesystem and I found auto_pairing.conf file in which there are a lot of BT manufacturer brands listed in sections like "black list", "white list", .... Is it possible I need to manually modify this file to include my BT manufacturer in the white list section? It sounds really strange!
Is there any other way?
I'd love to know that as well.

Update
I manually modified auto_pairing.conf file adding my car BT manufacturer without any success (I added it in white list with the name already mentioned in the file, so I think that's not a problem of brand name).
My SGS2 continue to ask me to manually select the device to connect to, even if only one BT device is available (car handsfree).
I have the same problem, which i didn't have with my Nexus One running Cynogenmod ROM. I keep my Bluetooth on all the time or most of the time and i would like (like i had in nexus one) when i turn on my car (with Sony MEX-BT3700U car stereo with Bluetooth) that the phone auto-connects with the stereo in a minute or less (or with my plantronics headset when i turn it on), but no, every time i have to go into bluetooth settings and connect on the paired device and then it's connected.
I heard about few application that could help but it would be nice to have it as native function on the phone. I haven't tried these apps yet but if anyone want's to try they can be downloaded from the market, firs is free, the second is not.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
I don't have this problem at all, on any ROM I've tried stock or not. Is your stereo also set up to auto-connect? And is it your phone or your stereo that's refusing the auto connection?

Stereo doesn't have any options, same as Plantronics headset (only ON or OFF), that means that with my old nexus one running CM (or Nokia n95 8GB) when the bluetooth is switched ON and i come near stereo or headset they connect automatically in about 30 seconds max, with my SGS 2 that doesn't happen, i tried everything but it wont auto-connect until i initiate the connection from phone manually.
I have to resolve this because it's killing me !

I wonder if that's the issue; IIRC it's my stereo that I've told to connect automatically rather than my phone. I'll verify on my commute home today.
Mine auto connects to my JVC car head unit, but doesn't to my Belkin Tunestage. No idea why. As it happens, this suits me but it'd be nice to be able to control it.
And the commute begins. The auto connection is an option on my JVC deck, no such option on the phone.

The stereo is recognized same as Plantronics and that is as a head set, but it doesn't want to automatically connect to either of them, every time i have to initiate the connection. There is one way to connect it (partially automatically ) but that's not the solution - i have to turn on the bluetooth on my phone before starting my car, then when phone is in searching mode if the car is started (stereo turned on) then it will connect automatically, if the search mode (that is active for a short time after turning the bluetooth) ended before i start the car (for instance if i keep my bluetooth on all the time on my phone) then it wont connect automatically.
Am i any clearer about my problem ?
I hear what you're saying but it appears that auto connection is initiated by my stereo. If I turn auto connect off on my stereo there is no connection until I tell my phone to connect. I don't see anything on the gsii settings to have the phone auto initiate the connection. I have a recent JVC deck fwiw.

I will check one more time is there any bluetooth settings on my car stereo, but i'm 90% sure that it doesn't have, because this is the first phone that doesn't connect automatically.
I have had similar issues with mine, it will pair with my Kenwood DNX520VBT but wont auto connect.
however i now have a workaround
Turn bluetooth on your GS2 first, then turn on you Radio. once my Radio boots up it initiates the connection and auto connect works.
if i turn on the bluetooth on my GS2 after my radio it never works.
ive got a sony bt3700 stereo, it connected perfectly with my samsung wave, i just upgraded to a galaxy s and i have to do it manually every time so its not the stereo.
Same thing happened to me, old nexus one with CM7 is connecting ok but i have to connect SGS2 manually or make sure that my bluetooth is ON on my phone before i start the car.
I may have the answer......
Hi,
I have a sort of work around.
My Pioneer head unit refuses to auto connect to my SGS2 and I have to do it manually (I connect from the radio in 4 clicks but thats not the point). This was driving me nuts as previous handsets I owned connected within 5 seconds of being in the car.
I then discovered ROMS and went for the Criskelo ROM and it put me on Android Version 2.3.6 (Not sure if that made a difference or its actually the ROM).
Now with that sorted I found that I have an extra function in my bluetooth settings. When I make the device visible I can then choose the visible time-out length. If I set this to NEVER then I have no problems connecting to the headunit everytime I get in my car.
The only problem I have with this is that I pop my phone into Airplane Mode each night and because that disables the bluetooth it loses the time-out setting so I have to put the time-out back to never each morning.
With setting the time-out to never I'm not sure what battery drain is like because I'm constantly on my phone and my battery depletes rapidly anyway but it seems like a fix for now.
I hope this makes sense and helps people out until a proper fix becomes available.
Cheers,

Hi All,
Sorry for bumping an old-ish thread, but it seemed the most appropriate thread, and better than creating a new one of the same topic!
This is what I believe to be true:
*IF* Bluetooth is enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will auto-connect to the GS2
*IF* Bluetooth is NOT enabled on the GS2 (and the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit) then when the car is turned on, it will NOT connect to the GS2 (understandably!).
*IF* the phone has previously been paired with the car headunit, and the bluetooth on the GS2 is enabled *AFTER* the car has been started, it does NOT Auto-Connect.
From this, I assume that when the car is powered on, it searches for previously paired handsets in order of most recently connected first. If it finds one, then it WILL connect.
Now:
If I leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone, the battery is significantly depleted my mid-afternoon.
I've started using an app which uses the "rough location" (not GPS) to monitor where the phone is located. If it deemed to have moved in X period of time, then it enables bluetooth.
This is great, and works a charm ... BUT it does mean that bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the car has been moving for a period of time, and thus does NOT auto-connect.
What I've been searching for is:
"When BT stack is enabled on GS2, can it look for previously paired devices and initiate the connection itself?" (Rather than the car connecting to it?) Is there a script or app to do this?
Hi WTFH,
I think it might be more headunit specific. I always have my bluetooth on but it wont connect automatically to my headunit unless I have it set to constantly discoverable (on the handset).
I also use a power saving program called Green Power Premium which will cut bluetooth/data/wifi after a certain amount of time when the phone is in a sleep state. Its great fro saving power as my phone isnt constantly looking for a wifi signal (I don';t use it to control my bluetooth though as I need it on for my car).
Hey DJ_sploits,
Thanks for that ... Yes, I understand that some headsets do not auto-connect to the GS2 if the phone is NOT visible.
But what does seem to be constant is that the GS2 will not auto-connect to any of the headsets if the bluetooth stack on the GS2 is enabled AFTER the headset has come online and available.
One workaround I'm thinking of is:
Enabling a profile which says "When connected to a power source (I'll have to use the power adaptor) then enable bluetooth". Connecting my phone to the power first before starting the car should enable the BT stack before the headset tries to connect.
In fact I could extend this to say "Only enable bluetooth when using power adaptor, and not connected to wifi".
It's still a pain to do this though, as I tend to just jump into the car and don't want to faff about with connecting this and that.
The only other work around I use is to set the visiblity to constant (depending on what android software version you are on). My headunit always picks the phone up if I have it setup like this. the only thing with that is it will eat the battery even more (which is annoying considering there are other phones out there that constantly have their bluetooth on and you never see the battery getting hammered).
The only flaw I can see in your method is the fact you need a power source to knock on the bluetooth. Great for powersaving but it would then mean you would have to remember to connect it to a car charger everytime you got in the car (not too bad if you have it constantly plugged in to the cigarette lighter) and as you set this can be a bit of a faff.
The only way I can see in sorting this is using a power saving app but having your visibilty constantly on for the bluetooth and then we just hope it doesnt eat the battery too much (not to bad for me as I have a charger at work but could be a pain for others). The only problem with this (apart from the battery issue) is that if you knock the bluetooth off or knock the phone to airplane mode (as I do at nights) then when you knock the bluetooth back on it forgets that you want it to be constantly visible so you have to go through the settings and check the box
Hello. First of all I'd like to say thay I had searched the threads as well as play store and google, and did not find any sufficient data on the matter.
I am running Ultima custom ROM on my Galaxy S3 i9300, I might have asked in the ROM thread section, but I am fairly sure this will not be ROM related, more like app related.
I recently bought a stand alone bluetooth keyboard slider case, that my SGS 3 fits in, but it forces me to keep bluetooth enabled all the time. Thus, my Sony Smartwatch that I use keeps connecting all the time via bluetooth as well. Now up to this point I used the bluetooth connection on the smart watch only when needed, for example while driving to switch songs (since the SGS 3 is docked as GPS, channeled by AUX to the car radio), which enabled me to preserve most of the watch battery power (charged it once a week, even less). Now, whenever I have the watch near the phone it will randomly connect on its own, or I make it connect by tapping it one time too many.
Now the question, is there an app somewhere that lets me filter my connected bluetooth devices, and let's say restrict the smart watch on my demand? Any info how to obtain selective bluetooth connectivity, I welcome.
please don't ask questions in this section
I feel like a moron, why didn't I post this in the Q&A -_-'' I'm sory...
Both Bluetooth and Wifi OBD-II devices are supported by our headunits. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for with these devices and the cheap ebay ones aren't very reliable
OBD devices are only detected if broadcasting name contains OBD. There is a work around using petrows CarService
Please report back any that work for you
Wifi
- VGate iCar 2
Bluetooth
-
Wired (USB)

Note: If connecting to wifi device, you'll lose you access to the internet (wifi/3g)
Curious about how to resolve the problem I have with OBD.
I use an OBDLink LX, which is far and away one of the best you can use. Not a cheap Chinese knock-off and it has specific support in both Torque and Dashcommand.
On my MTC KLD unit, Torque detects the OBD device just fine. Torque just works with it, I didn't have to do anything.
However, Dashcommand does not reliably detect it. Dash Command is enumerating devices differently somehow, and just shows "paired device" for everything. I was able to randomly choose one once, and it worked. The next time, it wouldn't work on either one. I would MUCH prefer to use Dash Command, as Torque gives me wildly inaccurate readings (MPG, HP, Torque, all are way off despite using accurate profile information). Dash Command tech support insulted me by simply responding to read the user manual PDF.
Any ideas?
I've just got a "LUJII Mini OBD2 ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth Car Scanner". Works ok with my phone, and in the Bluetooth menu it seems to pair. But then Torque says it is not paired even though I have the OBD sign in the top status bar.
Need to force the pairing inside of the torque app by selecting which OBD device and then it works ok.

same problem for me on my kld 3066 Torque is paired and working immediatly.
dashcommand pair OBDII BT device but always don't connect, i just found that OBDII connect to dashcommand 80% of the times if I force dashcommand to close from Apps list and that I restart the App
I write lot of mails to dashcommand about this problem (also because i buy), ...I send Debugs and so...but I still with the same problem
Am I gonna also lose connection to may hands free bluetooth if I get a bluetooth one?
I never had one of those and would like to know which one you recommend for a Rk3066 HU
Thanks.
I got this one off amazon and for 11 bucks it works 99% of the time. The only issue I have had is it reads wrong codes on Subaru but works fine on Toyota, Nissan and Kia so far.
Cant post links but this is close

Hi all.....
I've got a SCANTOOL OBDLink LX connected to my AUDI S3 8P, and it's the fastest BT dongle i've ever seen.....it make about 45 Fps, when china's ELM make 10 Fps.....
Unfortunatly, the TP 2.0 protocol isn't available with a standard ELM327.....you just access to generic PIDs, so it's limited.....i'm working on it.
I also try a WBH BT5 dongle, witch should read the TP 2.0 with TORQUE......at the moment, i can't access to my ECU MED9.1 (but i can on KWP1281 EDC15P), i'm working on it too, with florian Help...
To paired with the WBH BT5, you need to override in Xposed MTC the dongle string name, and it work fine.

As an update, since I remove carservice this works much better, no need to force pairing everytime.

No you can bluetooth to more than one device at a time.
Anyone using VGate iCar v2 or v3 BT version? I wish to have one of these as they have automatic sleep mode so you can keep it plugged all the time without batt drain.
So I've tried both this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MV03KY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 and this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
And I can't get either of them connect to bluetooth. They both show up when you search for the adapter, but neither of them connect. They don't even give me the option to put in the PIN to have them connect. Has anyone ever had this kind of issue? If so what can I do to fix it?

What module do you use to override the name? I need to do this too for my Kiwi3 but I can't find the relevant settings anywhere.

Correction - I found the settings page finally - apparently I hadn't actually enabled xposed MTC. Once it was enabled and rebooted, I still haven't been able to get the device to show up at all in the bluetooth settings. I've tried:
K
k
Kiwi
KIWI
Kiwi 3
3
kiwi
KIW
kiw
Kiw
as well as leaving the field blank. Still nothing in the bluetooth settings. I can confirm that the device is on and connectable from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
has anyone found an adapter that plays well with mtcb decks and 2001 f150's? i've tried 3 adapters and still haven't gotten one that does both. either the connect no problem to my deck but not to the ecu or they connect to ecu but its named "chx" instead of obd and won't connect to my deck. i did try using the xposed module to override but it never worked for me either.
Is it just me or is there a problem with LG G5 (H860) connecting to Chromecast?
I can't get to connect to my 2 chromecast devices on my TV using my new LG G5 (H860) cellphone. Also tried Localcast and YouTube. It still won't connect.
My other devices work alright (Samsung Tab A) connecting to the chromecast device. I've also tried a different chromecast unit and it still won't connect
See screenshots for reference.
Well.. I have a fully working screen casting.
One with the older model Chromecast and one with the new model.
Just used one of them today and earlier this week the other..
Tried to reboot your device and chromecast?
Edit.
I have a H850 model

I have the LG G5 LS992 (Sprint-US variant) and CHromecast works just fine. I tried Youtube, Netflix and Spotify with no problem.
You are not alone in this problem. I too have the LG G5 and have begun noticing connection issues with this specific handset.
I can usually get it to connect without issue and begin the streaming process, then somewhere along the line, the phone disconnects on it's end of things while the media continues playing on my home theater or my TV and I then have zero control over what's playing.
I'll also see intermittent flashes of the cast button on my phone's screen and when I go to connect, it asks for the CC's pin. Problem is, once something's streaming, you can't see the pin, so I have to unplug any and all power to the CC to get it back to working order. I have one in my living room and one in my bedroom and both will disconnect at various times from the phone, but not the wifi network. I know it's the phone because my old HTC One M8 will remain connected, without issue. Our tablets and PCs remain connected as well.
It's only this phone that I'm having trouble with. Even the Google Cast app doesn't find the CCs in the house, just that it knows I have backdrop settings for both.
It's become a major annoyance since we stream most of our entertainment now. I don't know why it's doing it, but I'm hoping someone has an idea. I do, but it may be nothing of value....
In Marshmallow, there's supposedly a setting to allow the wifi to sorta "sleep" to save on battery power until you touch the screen. I'm wondering if the wifi goes to sleep and disconnects from the Chromecast, causing this issue? If that's the case, is there a way to disable that so it doesn't do it? I have to charge the battery or swap it out on a regular basis anyway, so I can't imagine I'm saving much by leaving such a feature activated.
I'm having an odd issue that's been causing my Android TV box to become unresponsive (interface gets sluggish and then remote inputs are repeated 2-30 times, so generally need to do a hard reboot). I suspect it has something to do with my IPTV box, and possibly it's standby screen (it outputs an idiot signal even when off telling you the box is in standby). If I don't switch to the IPTV box, it's generally rock solid, but after going back and forth (seems random - can be 1 switch or 10) it eventually locks up.
It started when I upgraded to the new 4K IPTV box, which also required changing my receiver (damn HDCP). I'm thinking it's not the receiver as I've seen it happen at least once on my secondary TV in the basement(used infrequently, so I'm not 100% sure), which has a similar IPTV box (just lacking the PVR function), but both devices are directly connected to the TV inputs.
Anyone have any ideas? Both my boxes appear to be no longer supported, so a software fix is probably a pipedream, but I can't just buy a new box as they all seem to be AMLogic based.
