Does anyone know if the G4 supports ANT+?
It seems as though the G3 had ANT+ enabled with the 5.0.1 update depending on the model.
I went back to KitKat because of bluetooth / data / GPS issues.
The wife's VS986 G4 doesnt list any ANT+ HAL in the application list.
The G4 does not seem to have ANT+ in it. I tried using a couple different apps that want to use ANT+ and they all say that no ANT radio was found. I then plugged in an ANT+ USB stick into the phone using a USB OTG cable, installed the ANT+ services from the play store, and the apps started working fine. I'm not sure if the hardware is in the phone just not turned on. With Bluetooth LE becoming more popular (at least in cycling stuff), its likely LG decided to abandon ANT+; if that's the case, I personally think they did it one generation too soon.

I have installed several Infra Red apps, and my TV never reacts. It's a classic Samsung TV.
Either I did not understand how to use IR apps, or my IR hardware is broken.
When doing IR on computer, softs allow recording IR frames from other remotes.
***
Also looking for ways to print over IR, and do IR transfer with other devices.
***
Also looking for NFC apps, if you can recommend a good one.

I had the same trouble when i first got my phone too.... tried all apps but couldnt work on my LG or Samsung TVs.
after i reset to factory defaults, it worked!
My default app for the remote picks up everything. I work in a pawn shop and I am able to connect to tvs , stereos, etc, almost everything with an infrared receptor. So I assume your phone is rooted and that might be the problem. Before the ONE M8 I've used a note 2 rooted so I had to flash something in order to communicate with my TV. Might be the same issue although not 100% sure.

I have used the stock HTC Sense TV app; my TV did not react to any auto detect, but manual record/replay of frames worked. I will have to do it the hard way. Later. I am just happy my phone is not faulty; I will dig later.
In the end ...
the phone includes a TV Application on stock rom that works fine. Just, it starts by asking question about ADSL, TV, region ... but after answering those unrelated questions (and by the way, it forgets to ask if the TV can be controlled by LAN, Wifi ... ), you end up in an IR interface.
The IR configuration tool failed 2d ago. Since then, I have updated to 4.4.3. And rebooted several times.
The issue is that I have installed many IR apps; and after trying to use some, the IR get stuck. So, in short, the solution is: if an IR software does not work, you need to reboot before trying an other one.
Once you have identified a bunch of apps that work, you can switch between them. But, if you ever use a non working one, then, IR will never work again ... untill reboot.
Don't understand why; and don't want to know. Just reporting my experience.
With very similar interfaces: HTC IR universal works fine, Samsung IR does not.

I had an S4 and a 2013 LG TV which could receive the Miracast from the Samsung S4 just fine.
I've upgraded to a G3 and it's seems to be in compatible with the LG (that's right LG) TV.
It connects, then just disconnects, no errors either side like this:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck8TLBqHxoQ
I've even gone as far as to factory reset the TV, just in case (It's had a few updates since purchase).
Am I missing something (Is there a known work-around or something) or was LGs flagship phone not tested with their own Smart TVs?
Any ideas / help appreciated.

For me same constellation. Same issue.
Bevor with s4 work.
Shame LG
OnTheRoad
Same with my sony tv as well very hit n miss as is nfc
Same here I cannot use miracast or wifi direct with my new sony tv; DLNA works though
Official bug???? How can we fix it?
thank God someone finally posted the same thing as i thought i was the only one experiencing this.
g3's miracast won't connect to my Toshiba tv.
it just shows wifi direct connected, then nothing happens.
went to the mall to try on other tv brands samsung,sony and even LG but miracast won't connect.
so i gave up and just told myself maybe it's because the phone is still new.
was using version 10A.
now i'm on 10B and still doesn't connect.
Looks like LG need to fix this but still haven't addressed this with the latest 10b release
Maybe lg is not even aware of this issue? How do we submit this bug?

I have noticed this with my previous LG G2 as well. Somehow lg tv keeps loosing stability of the miracast or dlna server.
might be something related :
hidden menu > MirrorLink Test and it will Force Close.
So is there anything we can do about this? Does this problem exist in all version of g3?
Miracast works perfectly over here. Miracast on, recognizes Panasonic VT60, off we go.
I gave up and bought a Chromecast never worked for me
Verizon G3 works fine for miracast on my 2013 F8500 Samsung. Try not connecting WiFi to your router or connect WiFi on 5ghz band. You will achieve better stability in the signal. Also don't have your tv connected via WiFi. Miracast may conflict,with your current WiFi connection or interfere when on the 2.4the band, just my experience as I also use widi on pcs. The WiFi chipset varies from phone to phone, LG may use one chipset that has more issues than Samsung
Hey guys, I just found a solution for it.
First, I read the NFC tag that came with my LG TV to connect it. It asked for Tag On app installation and after that, for the LG TV remot app. Bam! Miracast is finally working on my LG TV. Probably any library was missing and now is all good! :laugh:
Please try it and let me know.
Same problem here with a LG Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4.
It plays with an Asus Zenfone 4, though without sound, not sure if I'm missing some essential bits.

Try what? What does this have to do with what TV you use? What "Tag On app installation"?

Did Miracast come with your 2013 8500 Samsung, or did you have to get the Samsung Evolution Kit to support it?
I turned on the hotspot kinda thing on the tv...connected my lgg3 to that WiFi. (Tv is still on home WiFi) and it works just fine.
HI Guys,
Looking for some help.
I have an HTC U11 on Oreo. Recently installed a Kenwood 7704S Android Auto HU.
Installed Android Auto app via google play, as well as latest version direct from Google. Phone is just not detected using the original USB C cable BUT the phone is charging, all other functions work via the Android Auto app without being cable connected. Short of instalkling older AA apk versions I am at a loss. I have tested unit with a iphone and Apple Car Play launches fine so it is not a a HU issue as I assumed. I had used this unit with a P10 Plus and it worked but I had intermittent issue with it as well but with the U11 it has just quit launching all together. I have reset phone to factory and tried fresh, no success. I have enabled Developer mode and enable USB debugging and selected MTP Protocol still no luck.
Anyone experience U11 Android auto issues, super frustrating and dont want to run a custom rom just yet. Suggestions welcome cause I am at wits end beside trying other AA versions from earlier dates or rolling back to Nougat, that I have not yet tried. Phone has worked on Oreo and I got it with Oreo but I was experience intermitent connectivity
This thread is to discuss any and all things related to running Android Auto on the LG V30.
Report problems, discuss work-arounds, recommended apps, etc.
fyi, I am running my LGV30 on crankshaft OS using open auto on a raspberry pi. Open Auto is a Android Auto emulator, and I can report that it works as advertised... great DIY approach to adding android auto to a radio without android auto capabilities.
I have a question... anyone running AA on a V30 has gotten waze to work? For me, I get a blank screen when I try to launch waze in AA, and the whole thing locks up until I disconnect my phone. Google Maps works just fine.

I used Waze with no issues for a trip over the weekend... it was the first time the kids had seen Android Auto in action and it kinda blew their minds - lol.
I just tried to install Android auto on my LG V30+ and get the message that my phone is not supported. On play.store website that is. On the phone, I can't even see the app...I am in an "unsupported country at the moment, however my account, card, phone number etc are from a supported country (UK)
My mobile is even active with the UK number in roaming. How do I make it work please?
Try download android auto apk from apkmirror.

I've noticed an annoying issue with AA and potentially unique to the V30. If I make/answer a call in AA then hang up and try to play audio, it plays the audio through the phone speakers instead of via bluetooth to the car speakers. So far have had this happen twice after a call. Unplugged USB then plugged back in fixed it.
If you want to play with some root stuff and want to watch videos on your head unit, there is CarStream for Android Auto. Obviously, it's not good to use while driving but if you eat in your car or just waiting to pick someone up or something, it's a good time killer. It's made mostly for YouTube but stuff like Plex works too.

Wife purchased a 2019 Outback LTD and she could connect her Pixel 2 to the headunit and run AA, but I could not accomplish same with my V30.
This post of yours, and the information on the APKMIRROR site were so helpful. I am up and running now.
Do you know if these variants will be brought together into a new PlayStore version?
Thank you.
Unfortunately I have no idea what google is planning hopefully, yes.
Hello Guys i have a situation with My Android Auto and My LG V30.
I am running an Android radio and installed HUR. Before i Saw this thread i was convinced that the only way to use Android auto on My phone was thru wireless mode which Is good but sometimes i don't know why it suddenly disconnects and i have to connect again manually.
So i Saw this post and it works the "Charging Only" mode i was so happy !! But then i select "charging only" always when i connect the usb and i have no connection so i have to put it again in MTP and now everytime i Want to connect to Android auto i have to go to developer options before i connect the usb and select charging only then go back and connect the usb to the radio and thats the way it works.
Anyone has a similar problem? The radio Is not the problem and neither the usb cable because My wife Huawei P30 Lite works perfect with Android Auto.
USB is a mess on the V30. Connection is extremely unstable with both of my cars. It is not caused by the cable or USB port. Both have been replaced.
Hi,
I received today my phone, I updated to Android Pie, and now I see that I cannot discover my TV which supports miracast. I also tried to switch off Wlan.
Of course I considered downgrading to Android Oreo, but I read it's a bit troublesome (dual sim stops working when downgrading).
By the way I'm asking to xioami forums too (I cannot post external link), but I don't think I can expect a fast fix
Any idea? Thanks.
