I can't connect my phone to my Peugeot 308 II Sw but I'm sure I'm missing something. I've tried several cables, including the original one from the charger.
As soon as I touch the Android Auto icon on my car, the phone asks about what to do with the USB connection and insists on charge only. When I enable debugging the same happens but a very quick white screen shows up on the phone and then quits. Car's screen shows an "Android Auto error" message.
What am I missing?
What would happen if you changed the usb configuration in developer options. Would that allow android auto to connect to your car?
I've tried the debugging mode only and no go. There are other options though, like "Always prompt when connecting to USB", that one is on and I assume it means asking what USB does? Is that the one you had in mind?
I do not touch the configuration of the usb. It is just automatically connects to the car. You have to to configure the bluetooth and thats it. Start bluetooth when you run android auto.

Bluetooth is connected to the car, it has all the permissions on... the car sees the phone as soon as I turn the key.
BTW, I know the car is compatible and other owners that I've talked to are able to get android auto running without a problem. That's what is odd about this.

Since i have Litening 1.0 and Kies doesnt work with it, i was wondering if there is any way to make the default action when i plug in the USB to go to USB mass storage mode or at least ask what to do like I9000 instead of automatically going straight to Kies connection mode, so i dont have to remember every time to go into settings, connectivity, usb and click 2 times there...
Activate usb debugging in settings> applications> development.

Thanks, i completely forgot about debugging mode ... Now if there was just a way to make it display the connection dialogue without having to pull down the notification bar that would completely satisfy my laziness .
Just to be sure, using USB debugging mode doesnt pose any additional risk right? I know i needed it to root my old I9000 but never used it besides that...
No, debugging can be left enabled without any issues. Occasionally root apps require it to be enabled. I only turn mine off to connect to kies and then I reenable it after.
kies dont seem to work for me so this is the only and best way to connect via usb! Always used this method with my nokia n900
Anyway, a select list when connecting something via USB would be nice, similar to HTC...
If you plug something into the USB-port, it asks what to do:
- Mass storage
- Sync (Kies)
- Tethering
- USB host mode
- ...
Anyone knows how to probably achieve this?
Would also be wonderfull something like a widget...
+1 for widget
+10 for list
My phone is always on DeBugging Mode. The only exemption is if I want to connect to KIES then I deselect the Debugging Mode and plug in the USB cable.
I have never found a problem with any program running when it was in Debugging Mode.
Tasker?
I have multiple profiles for when it's plugged in (either day or night or at work). I'm not sure if you can differentiate between AC charge and USB charge though.
I DO know that you can make your own Task in Tasker that acts as a widget to do most of the things mentioned here...
edit. there _is_ a Context item that allows a task to be set based on whether the power connection is recognized as a 'USB Power'...
I was wanting to try and send a file from my phone to the tablet using blue tooth file transfer. I was able to pair my tablet to my phone through blue tooth but it will not connect once the process is done. On both devices it gave the same message to allow paring and the same identification number. I hit allow pair and it does. After that nothing happens. I hit the settings icon next to the paring and it only gives an option to unpair or rename the cell phone/pair connection.
I'm thinking it is not properly setting up the profile for the connection. When I go into the setting for my headphones it lists the profile and the options for it; voice chat, media, etc. Is this part of the problems people are having with the BT connections? Is there a setting I need to turn on or off somewhere is the OS of the tablet?
I'm using a Mytouch4g slide phone and looked on the phone to see what options are given. Hitting the paired icon for the table only gives the option to delete it. On there my connection to my laptop for blue tooth gives the profile options for transfers etc. When I get home I will try connecting the tablet to my laptop and see if the profile gets created. If it works then it has to be something between my phone and the tablet.
Connecting two complex devices like a phone and a tablet isn't (generally) the same as plugging in a USB device, or plugging a phone into a PC. The two devices will never show up as removable storage or an extra hard drive. They won't even actually be connected most of the time. However if they are paired they will "look" for each other and share files back and forth if you initiate a transfer.
Try sending a file from one device to the other.
In any file explorer, select the file you want to share, select share, select blue tooth and then select the paired device. If the two devices are properly paired you will get a message on the receiving device asking you if you want to accept the file and if you hit OK the file will be sent over the blue tooth connection.
Try the app "bluetooth file transfer" to do it. It's what I had to use to push the file from my phone to tablet through bluetooth.
I have my EVO3D paired and it always says its not connected but paired. When i ask to transfer a file (song, pic, comic, movie, etc...) it pops up to ask if i want to accept it. I press yes and it works.

I uninstalled that bluetooth file transfer app. Its buggy and doesn't seem to work. I just use the normal built in Bluetooth capabilities to transfer files, photos, movies, etc...works great. That one app is crap, IMO.

Must be user error. Took me all of 10 seconds to connect my thunderbolt and prime and start transferring a file.
It is not user error. I was again annoyed today that I couldn't get it work the first time and decided to tinker around again. Still same situation where it will pair and show the same security code on my phone and the tablet, sync/pair up, and that is it. After that it will not connect. It didn't matter if I tried to initiate the the connection from my phone or the tablet. But I did get a message on one attempt saying something to the effect of software preventing a connection.
I decided to try it with a coworkers phone and it was the same situation. It would discover the phone, pair, but not connect. That was another Android device. I then went to another who has an Iphone 3gs and got the same result. Except his phone gave the message saying the tablet is not supported. I'm going to try and include the picture in this post.
I tried a factory reset of the tablet thinking maybe there was something that went bonkers with the patches but that didn't work either. I'm not sure where the problem is. I've connected my phone to multiple bluetooth devices and no problems. I've only gotten the tablet to connect to my bluetooth headphones and that is it.
It would be nice to get the tablet to connect with my phone as I could then use bluetooth gps on it and do file transfers. I've tried the apps for doing such tasks and it won't sync up.

You don't need this app, bluetooth file sharing is built right into the Prime (and most Android devices).
Has anyone tried to use the usb to transfer huge file because to transer 400mb of info through bt would take a million years, I tired today to use the usb with my prime and evo and the tablet did not show me the file when I turned on the storage from the evo .
So right now had to take out the sd card which is anoying just wanted to know if anyone has been able to get this work.
What is strange is that I know the usb works fine since I have used my external harddrive and it works perfect. So I think there is something that has to do with the phone connection that it not tlakng to the tablet.

I had this problem while trying to BT connect my Transformer with my Wileyfox Swift, in order to test the "File-Go" beta App from Google. After many attempts I made some progress by simultaneously pressing pair on both machines. I was then able to share files via Bluetooth, although the "File-Go" App didn't allow BT transfer.
My xt912 is running LineageOs 14.1. When I download Android Auto the splash screen states that although I can run Android Auto on the phone is can not be used with the cars screen. This is before any setup takes place or before it is connected to the car. It appears that the app is doing some preliminary check. When connected to the car via the USB cable the car does not recognize the phone as a projection capable device. Does anyone know what is being checked and if it is possible to get around it?
Debugging box ticked in developer options may cause that. It sometimes disallows file sharing with me.

I own a 6/128GB variant.
I have been using for couple of weeks for now.
Value for money device.
I have issues connecting my phone to car for using Android Auto. When connected it only shows a blank screen. I have tried allowing all the permission for Android Auto and apps associated to it. Tried switching on USB debugging in dev option, switched on the USB OTG option too. Nothing helped.
If anyone knows how to get this solved kindly write a solution.
Cheers.
I am also facing the same issue. I have 6 GB / 128 GB phone, USB is working fine with laptop but it is not working with my car android auto (Sony AX-5000)
Please help to resolve this issue

check this out or may be device update issue
Same problem
I too have same problem. Able to connect other phones to my car but not realme
How to fix
There's a workaround. Make sure Android auto is installed and setup. Connect with data cable to car unit. Go to Settings-> Other wireless connections. You'll see an option of USB tethering. Turn it on. It won't connect but as soon as the tethering fails Android auto starts up.
same issue with my realme 1. android auto icon does not appear while connecting it to Sony AX-5000. No connection gets established between realme 1 and AX-5000. USB teethering suggestion dont work.
Real me 1 Android auto issue
Real me 1 users: Android auto will work only on real me 1 after the Android pie update. After you have updated to the Android pie and colour os6. Connect your device to your car, you will have the blinking of choosing (charge/transfer files/transfer photos) on your phone, just leave it don't do anything about it.
Just go to (About phone) in your device. Then enable developer mode by tapping (version) 7 times. Then you can go to developer settings through (SETTINGS->ADDITIONAL SETTINGS then enable developer settings), then you have to on the (USB DEBUGGING) which will be available while you scroll down in developer settings. That's all.
The phone will get Android auto automatically. You can enjoy.:good:::highfive:
PS: After using Android auto don't forget to
off developer settings.
I just bought a red magic 7. I tried to connect my red magic 7 to android auto of my car but it keeps pop up the options of "connect new device for charging only or connect for media or connect for transferring file". However, no matter what option I selected it doesn't show up the android auto. I tried 2 different cable both won't work: 1, sumsung's usb to typec; 2, oneplus 6's usb to typec.
Does someone know the issue? So frustrated.
I believe if you go to Setting>More Connection Setting> Android Auto. You'll be put in the Android Auto setting. There should be a blue button says "+ Connect Car".

The "Connect car" just shows please plug in usb cable than that's it.
It's not working at all, I tried EVERYTHING. All USB modes, older Android Auto versions, latest beta nightly Android auto builds, with USB debugging and without it, developer options - you name it. The most I was able to reach was Android Auto giving me a big red error message telling me my phone doesn't come with Android Auto installed in its OS and thus not supported, sadly.
It's on ZTE/Nubia to implement in their awful OS (sorry, but it is. I barely even get Whatsapp notifications to work)
