OK... I want to use the option to use my phone's internet (via Bluetooth) with my Acer Iconia Tab A100. My phone is a Nokia Asha 302, and yes it has BT PAN... When I pair my phone with my Iconia tab it actually has the option to connect and use phones internet, but when I try it connects and nothing else happens... However when I try to disconnect, my phone disconnects and tablet hangs. My computer has no problems connecting to my phone. I'm at my wits end. Any Ideas? File swap Ideas? Config Mods? I'm open to anything.
Thanks
BTW... My tab is sporting the ICS leak with root, unlocked BL, and thor recovery installed.
ok...
So I did more playing around and found out that when I choose to use my phone's internet and don't get any net. But when I do a pand --show --list it shows "bnep0 B4:395:09:8E:F4 PANU" which is a problem when my bt address is really F4:8E:095:39:B4... Not really sure what the deal is...
I also use BT to tether. Latest version of PDANet on the A100 and Foxfi on the phone. They work seamlessly together.
I couldn't get it to work before the ICS leak, but since then both PDANet and Foxfi have updated. It worked fine when I was on ICS leak, it still works now that I have gone back to HC 3.2.1.
Still can't seem to figure this out... I waited for the official release hoping to have this issue resolved, but still have the same problem. It really seems like some sort of Android bluetooth bug. I mean... All I have to do is pair my tablet with my phone and it natively gives me the option to use my phones internet via BT and when I select it, it connects to the phone only to not actually get any internet connectivity at all (even though my PC has no problems doing this). When I try to disable the connection my tablet locks up forcing me to power it down and boot it back up... I'm not sure, but could the problem be due to the fact that this BT PAN connection is a sort of AD HOC protocol? There was a resolution to this with the AD HOC Wifi issue so could there be a similar step to take for this BT PAN issue?
As I said in the post above you, latest version of PDANet Tablet on the A100 and Foxfi on the phone works. It works after the OTA update, too.
Thanks for your reiteration, however... As I posted in the very beginning, my phone is a Nokia... I noted this mostly because Nokia in the past hadn't provided their phones with the bluetooth PAN profile... I bought this phone specifically for this profile and that it had a much faster processor... And as explained above, everything appears as it should even to the point of seeing the available feature of my phone... Android seems to still have some bugs to work out so it looks as if I'll have to wait some more till it's resolved...
a script
I have the same need and same problems. One of my phones has PAN, the other not.
What it worked for me is this:

(I improved the script for my needs, but now you have the idea
Whatever!
Got rid of the Acer Iconia Tab A100 and upgraded to the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0... It had all of these features available out of the box... I didn't actually get rid of it, just gave it to my wife... Same thing...
I seem to have a problem connecting my new 10.5" tab s to my Verizon note 3 via bluetooth. It shows that they are paired but when I click connect it acts like it will connect for about 3 seconds (it says connecting...) then just goes back to saying paired. The dude at the Samsung display in Best Buy claimed these 2 devices simply cannot connect through bluetooth which didn't seem right. Tonights?
What I've tried so far: obviously restarting both devices and completely unpairing them as well to no avail...

It isn't right. I have a Note 3 also but with Sprint. I don't have any problem connecting. I would assume it is not the carrier that is causing the problem. It is well known that the Samsung reps at BB know absolutely nothing about their products. I also assume you tried shutting BT off on both devices then re-activating them? Is NFC on on your note? If it is try shutting that off as the slate is not NFC capable and it may be interfering. Just some suggestions.
I have a Note 3 as well from sprint and haven't had an issue connecting via bluetooth. I'll take a look around to see if anyone else is having this issue. Hopefully you'll be able to resolve it.
I did a factory wipe on my phone thinking that may help but was unsuccessful. Those of you who are able to connect your phone and tab, can you use the Internet connection from the phone using bt on the tab?
Update number 2...I factory wiped the tablet too and still no luck. It automatically wants to connect for Internet access and if I have the tab connectrd to WiFi it says it can't connect to bluetooth for tethering if WiFi is connected. Turning off WiFi does nothing...
I have the ATT Note 3 and am able to connect to my Tab S with Bluetooth. On both devices it only says paired. The only time it said connecting is when I initially paired the two devices, once paired the "connecting" was replaced by "paired". I can't find anywhere it says connected yet I am able to send files back and forth between the two via Bluetooth. I don't use Bluetooth to tether so not sure if that is where it's supposed to say connected. Sorry if we're talking about two different things, just trying to help.

Well I feel stupid now haha. I can't connect to use Bluetooth for an Internet connection as I was attempting, but I can send and receive files to and from the tab and phone.
Im having an issue with Sync3 not allowing android auto to work on it. i say not allowing because it works for 2 seconds then the apps crashes and restarts on both the phone and the head unit. I've tried this with different android phones with the same result and the Ford dealer REFUSES to replace the head unit.
I have an LG v10 and a 2017 Fusion SE with the tech package witch includes Sync3. i've tried a Galaxy s7 and s6 and they dont work.
worst part is I tried my phone in another 2017 Fusion and Android Auto work perfectly. Also, Sync3 is supposed to have the option for Apple Car Play which is not available in my car but is available in other Fusions for some reason. Even knowing this the dealer still won't budge on replacement.
Has anyone have a similar experience or other issues with Sync3?

quick update. the dealer finally took the car back and reinstalled the firmware on the radio. unfortunately Im still having the same issue woth my phone. However, it does work with my friend's Galaxy s7 now.
with that said. i tried doing a factory reset to my phone and still no change.
my question now is what settings on the V10 would I need to fix to make this work?

You can't, yet. First Ford said the Sync 3 units (at least in the '16 f150) would have the update for Android Auto by August 31st, 2016. They blew that deadline and eventually said "by the end of the year." The update is called "Sync 3 2.0", I'm sitting on Sync 3 1.1. I'll try to remember to post back here when the update eventually is promulgated by Ford. Basically, you connect your car to wifi either tethered to your phone or at your home or work wifi or whatever other wifi, and enable automatic system updates.
I have a Ford Everest 2017 with SYNC 3 ver 2.0, but have the same problem with Android Auto, but I've only tried a couple of Android phones which are a bit older - Samsung Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia (Android versions 5.0 and 5.1) ... Apple Carplay works perfectly though, but the Maps app of Apple is not that good for navigation, especially here in the Philippines (POI's are limited)
Hi
Who have update for Sync3 ?
Please send me link for this

I have a 2016 F150 and just upgraded my Sync 1.0 to Sync 2.2 last night. My LG V10 does the same thing. Plug it into one of the usb jacks and android auto loads on the phone, then the sync 3 screen changes to android auto for just a second or two then back to normal sync. The phone stays on android auto, but none of the features are available through sync. It worka flawlessly with my LG G5 though....I did a factory reset on my V10 hoping it would help, but it didn't. I may try to reinstall the Sync 2.2 update and see if that helps, but I have read enough online to think it won't really matter, its a issue with the phone.

Where did you find the update? Mine isn't showing on wifi. I'm dying for this update, I have a 2016 f150.
AFAIK Ford hasn't fully implemented Android Auto in Sync 3, I work in car audio and that's a fairly sore subject for most customers with the Sync 3 system. Ford made claims that Sync 3 would support AA but failed to deliver, so far it looks liked they have failed miserably with the roll out.
I have a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with Sync 3, had problems with Android Auto and learned from the right tech support person at Ford that if your USB cable is a piece of crap or worn out that Android Auto can't make the proper communication connection, replaced with a better quality usb cable and Android Auto now works great
I had a 2016 Ford Fusion and a Samsung Galaxy S5. I think it was SYNC, not SYNC 3. Then I got a Ford Fusion 2017 with SYNC 3 and Android Auto. Did not like the interface our how it all worked together. I had to use a cable for maps, but that was the worst of it. Audio (music, maps, phone) all worked. Then I got the Samsung Galaxy S8+ and nothing seems to work. The contacts appear briefly, but when I search them they disappear, and when I go to use the phone SYNC 3 tells me that it's downloading the contact list and I have to wait (it never downloads it). Since the S5 had worked, I assumed the issue was with the S8+, but I'm not 100% certain. When I try to disable Bluetooth on SYNC 3, it will not turn off. Nor will it delete the phone or even disconnect it. Even doing a master reset from the menu doesn't work. The only way I was able to delete the phone was to do a master reset using the skip button and radio on/off/volume button. My music playlists also do not show up. When I connect the phone to the USB port, Android Auto lets me play music from my phone, view my contacts, send text messages and use maps, but if I make a call there is no audio or mic function. This is getting beyond frustrating since I use the hands-free calling function extensively. I did not spend all this money for a car and a phone, and not have this functionality. The worse part is Sprint (my carrier) tells me it's a Samsung issue. Samsung wants to try all these troubleshooting steps and will ultimately blame Ford (even though a Google search will show the Galaxy S8 series has Bluetooth issues). Ford will point their finger at Samsung. I am hoping someone has had similar issues and found a resolution. I don't know if I can wait for updates that don't appear!
Update: Had car BT reflashed, did a factory reset on phone. Not sure, but I think the factory reset worked until I restored my apps, contacts and data (not settings). When I plug in the USB cable, I can make calls using hands-free, but I need to change the settings from BT to Speaker Phone. Then, all voice stuff comes through the phone (Google Maps and phone). But without the USB cable, the contacts load and then disappear. If I try to make a call, SYNC 3 tells me contacts are being downloaded. I tried another S8+ phone in the car and it worked. I tried my phone in another car and it did not work. But everytime I conclude it's the phone, something ends up making me think it's just a setting somewhere or it's SYNC.

I have a Ford Fusion 17' w/Sync 3 as well. I have a Pixel XL with 7.1.2 and I did have some issues with the contacts not downloading as well. What I did is made sure Android auto had all the permissions on in the phone settings. That cured it for me. Not sure if that will fix any of your other issues but have had no issues once I granted AA all the permissions.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

Didn't help, but thanks for trying. All permissions were already enabled. In case you didn't see this....
Update (7/7/2017): Yesterday I went back to my Ford dealer and tried my phone in another 2017 Ford Fusion with SYNC 3. It had the same issue. I then tried conneceting the sales reps iPhone with my car and it worked correctly. Coincidentally, the manager just upgraded his phone to a Galaxy S8. I checked the OS and patch levels and they were the same as my phone, so I attempted to sync his phone with my car. And....it worked perfecctly the first time. Contacts downloaded and I was able to make a call from the car. So the issue MUST be with my phone. I then backed up my phone using the Samsung backup program I recently downloaded to my PC. It basically creates a complete backup of the phone. Once done, I reset my phone to factory defaults and, after the initial setup bs, created a single contact on my phone. I did a sync, which apparently worked and did not disappear. I was also able to call using my car. I restored my phone and, of course, it stopped working correctly and I can no longer make calls through my car. The issue must be some app affecting the contacts and/or bluetooth operation, but I cannot find it. While I have a bunch of apps, I don't have anything that would cause this behavior, and the same apps are on my S8+ that were on my S5 which worked.*
USB cable perhaps
I, too, am having connecting my LG G5 to Sync 3. I recently updated from v1.0 to v2.2 so I've never had Android Auto before, but now it's an option. Similarly, when I connect the phone it promisingly connects and shows notifications and other options on the Sync screen for a while. When I attempt to do something by tapping on a button on the Sync screen it immediately crashes and goes back to the normal Sync screen as you'd see when starting the car. Based on what I've read, it doesn't seem like there's much homogeneity between all our problems.
I've never been a fan of the "it's the cable" excuse. Other than loose connections or the heads not fitting firmly in the phone's port, how does a cable affect data transfer? I mean, they're not high-wattage cables so impedance shouldn't be an issue, right? I ultimately wonder if it comes down to the individual phone and its interaction with handling the app. If that's the case, then those that are having issues are boned.
I've been struggling with this same issue until about 5 minutes ago. Tried all sorts of stuff, but the fix... Using the cable that came with my phone rather than a 3rd party cable. So lame, but maybe it's worth a try for the rest of you.
My AA works fine in my mustang which has v2.0. I tried it in my explorer with v2.2 and I’m having the same issue with it bombing out after 2 seconds. Tried it on a rental with version 2.2 and it bombed out on that. Go to v2.0 and it will work.

No such luck. I have no idea why it hasn't work. I hate the thought of swapping out my phone for another S8+ and having to redo all my stuff...again. Last time, I backed up the phone and did a factory reset. I think it may have worked until I restored my data/apps (I left out the settings). What's odd is that if I'm on the phone before I get in the car, the call goes through the car once I'm in, but the caller info is missing from the car display - only the number is shown. But the car won't hang up the call, that has to be done on the phone. Then the stereo won't work.

Pretty strange, I have not had any of those issues you're describing. Google did push an update to AA and now the picture of contacts are like the whole display which make them look really crappy. IMO. The contacts do download properly now though. When I make calls it all works correctly, ending and answering calls. I have not tried having my phone connect to my car when I am on a call though. So that I would have to check on. I will get back to you on that.

I have the OG Pixel XL, and just the cable that came with the phone when I bought it.
I had this same issue and what fiexed it for me was to use a shorter USB cable. The one that did not work was 6 feet long and the one that works now every time is 3 feet.
I have a brand new 2017 Ford Raptor with Sync 3, version 3.0. I can easily connect my Samsung Note8 to it via Android Auto and it sees it immediately, connects just fine. If I unplug that device from the two USB connections, I try to connect another Android 7.0 Nougat device that is WiFi only to it, using a OBDII WiFi hotspot attached, and it connects to the internet just fine, but will not connect to the truck via Android Auto. The device is a DOOGEE BL5000, a Chinese Android device that does not have any US LTE bands, and I wanted to use a hotspot in the car to connect other devices to it on long trips anyways, so I paid $145 for an Android phone that I would use only with WiFi.
I've connected it with Bluetooth, done all the setup, and the screen shows BL5000 detected when plugging in, but absolutely will not connect to have THAT device use the Android Auto instead of my phone. My goal is to disable AA on the Note8 and have the BL5000 dedicated to AA duty while in the truck. I have tried FIVE different USB cables, two of which were factory Samsung cables, so they aren't the cheap ones, tried unplugging, plugging in, changing which USB connection type (charging / file transfer, PTP, etc), and nothing changes. The Note8 it set to just charging, so I can't imagine the setting is that important when it connects instantly. I have done a master reset on the Sync 3, had to start all over again with connections, trying the BL5000 again first without setting up the Note8, turning the truck on and off multiple times, it just won't connect.
It was said that Huawei devices for some reason won't connect to AA, don't know why or what the logic is behind that, but am I screwed with this DOOGEE BL5000? I wanted something with at least 4GB of RAM and wiping / disabling everything else but AA, Maps, Music off of it in order for it to work solely as a processor for AA that I can remove and replace, but this is becoming a headache all in and of itself.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Hello
I'm in the UK experiencing the same problem with my new Doogee and Sync 3.
Did you get any where with this issue please

Yes and no. The Doogee would never connect, so I was refunded the purchase on PayPal because this was all I needed the device for, the seller did not respond so I got to keep the device. I since purchased a Moto G4 unlocked and it connects perfectly, immediately, and put a SIM card in it to run directly from the device instead of through WiFi only, makes Android Auto boot time much faster this way. Hope that helps!
Thanks for your very prompt reply. Glad you managed to get a solution in the end.
I previously tried a Cubot Cheetah 2 with my car to no avail. What's interesting is that my old Samsung J5 works with AA. You'd think a phone with android 7.0 would work.
Thank you again

Hi all,
Not sure if this is a common problem, but on my Pixel 2 XL, I cannot get any other phone to connect to it via Bluetooth?? I'm trying this so I can try Daydream with the Controller Emulator app but so far, 3 different android phones can pair, but will not connect. Have tried all the basic troubleshooting, any ideas??
Cheers for any help!

Yeah, same here. I thought I was doing something wrong so it's kind of nice, sorry, to see I am not the only one having this problem. I had tried all of my phones and even the newest on that I replaced with the Pixel 2 XL. Maybe because we just got an update to 6.1.0? Maybe that's what has changed and I hope we can figure this out. I have a really nice headset that I would like to try Daydream with to see if I want to take the plunge for the Headset and controller.
I was having a similar issue with my Pebble app. Watch would pair with phone, but the app would not connect or would have issues connecting. Turns out I needed to add special permission for unrestricted data usage for the pebble app. Also, bluetooth is by default optimized under battery options. I tried leaving it there and it killed the connection after about 20 minutes and I couldn't reestablish it. So, it's not being optimized now.
I also had issues with phone to phone file transfers using bluetooth. It worked once then stopped. I'm going to see if the file transfer service maybe needs special permissions like the pebble app did.
None of this was an issue on 7.0 so not sure what's changed.
Edit: So the Pebble thing was resolved with a factory reset of the watch. Turns out to be coincidence that it stayed connected for a day after the permissions change. The file transfer over usb is still having issues.
It seems like Google's update did something to it I believe
