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
Thank you

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
Richard
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 issue has been logged numerous times on Google Forums - but I wanted to check in with people here. I have the new Note 10+ 5G and having serious issues keeping Android Auto running with my Pioneer Head Unit (please note, I have had NO issues with other Android Phones - OnePlus 7 Pro, Google Pixel 3XL, Sony Xperia 1).
Basically, when connecting the Note 10+, Android Auto worked fine for the first session, then crashed on the second, and since simply won't connect until the phone does a full reboot (then will only work once and run into the same issues). At first I thought DEX was interfering (which it probably is!) but unfortunately there is no way to disable DEX apps or the USB response when plugging in an external connection.
Have others had this issue? Any ideas??
Thanks!

No issues here in both of my cars
This is not note 10 this is general issues with any not stock google android and android auto. Are you trying to use wireless or usb AA? They just got wireless working with non google devices, but it's very random when it works. I've had the issue you describe(having to reboot) with wireless, USB is far more reliable.

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm using a direct cable plugged into the Pioneer Head Unit. I have not had this issue with any other handset - and I suspect it may have something to do with DEX. Any other thoughts you may have?
I use it daily on my F150 and I'm not having any issues at all, working perfectly fine. You can try reinstalling the app if you haven't done that already.

Yeah, sorry to hear that. I have a Kenwood DDX9906XR and it does wireless android auto. I have a Google Pixel 3 XL and the Note 10+. I've been able to get wireless android auto working (as well as wired) with NO issues at all. I do think the wireless option is a bit overrated and even sometimes annoying as it doesn't connect as fast as using wired. I just love that Samsung phones are one of the only few left that still use miracast so I get to use the wireless display function in my car.
I have had issue with Waze showing correctly but sometimes when switch to music music plays on screen but not audio. Have to unplu and replug..I did see new apk yesterday so will try it.
My Note 10+(4G model) is having AA issues..
Whenever I plug mine into the Focus RS(SYNC 3) it crashes at 1st use and the Note thinks I am using DEX for PC and to turn it on.
I have tried different cables including Sammy one . and reset the phone to a clean install no joy
I also had an issue with note 10+ connected to my Kenwood Excelon DDX9905S, pandora and spotify - no audio to kenwood would play. I see today there are play store updates for both, perhaps a fix.
on my car, i have to plug in the phone to the car first BEFORE starting the engine. otherwise i get no audio.

I've experienced many issues with AA with a spectrum of devices. I firsts believed that my vehicle was to blame, due to the technology differences, however I've realized that my Buick Encore Preferred II (ALL STOCK EQUIPMENT IN VEHICLE) immediately broadcasts it's Bluetooth/Wifi-Direct as soon as the head-unit/radio is supplied power. I've concluded that MY issues with android auto came from the app recognizing device movement while I was driving.
Now, I'm no expert, but here's my suggestion.
1. Ensure the USB-C cable supports data-transfer and charging simultaneously. (I've made this mistake by ordering USB-C cables ((that only supported charging....poorly)) )
2. Restore Android Auto's factory settings that came with the phone, ensure any Android Auto data-backups are deleted (for troubleshooting purposes).
3. Install/Update via Play store.
4. Disable bluetooth & "forget" any paired vehicles/head-units on your phone.
5. Remove your phone from your vehicle's bluetooth memory.
At this point, your phone should be plugged in to your COMPATIBLE head-unit***, with neither devices recognizing each other.
6. Start your vehicle's battery/engine & stay stationary.
Your phone may immediately start Android Auto. Some head-units automatically do this for you as a "safety/handsfree" feature.
If Android Auto doesn't automatically initiate when you power your head-unit, run the application.
7. Follow your phone's on-screen prompts to finalize set-up.
8. Ensure your phone is connected to your vehicle's bluetooth.
Worked for me!
Remember, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Same issue here. Worked like a charm with Mate 10 Pro, crashed with my new Note 10 + after a few seconds. Solved it by going through all my USB cables and somehow I found one that worked! (tried 5 different cables). Only a one out of 5 works. My Mate worked with all of them.
Btw: this is the one that worked

Would like to add that the performance of Google maps is incredibly sluggish when zoomed in. Unusable type of sluggish... Waze is perfectly fine.
works fine for me note 9 and note 10 + 5g in ford kuga. Need to make sure you set your permissions correctly and also go inot dev options and enable unknown sources if using things like spotify etc
If you want to disable dex, i've finally found an app to take the place of Samsung package disabler. . It's called CCSWE. I bought the pro license for $2.99. Samsung package disabler from android police worked great when it worked, but they kept losing your license info and have to re-purchase. Since s10+ i haven't got it to work, says something about failed registration or no license.. something to that effect. Developer is not answering any questions.
I had AA running fine on a Note 8 and an S9. On the Note 10+ it kept disconnecting after a couple of seconds. At the end I have it stable, but I had to modify all battery savings options for this app. I did not disable DeX. When I connect the Note 10 to the head unit (USB), I do get the DeX notification but that does not interfere with the connection anymore.
What I do find annoying is that I have the light and dark mode switched based on day and night time. I noticed that the mode follows the day and night mode of my head unit when connected. However, after disconnecting, the original setting (where it switches based on planned schedule on the phone itself) is no longer activated. I like the detail though, that the phone follows the car scene.
Note 10+ Android Auto on 2017 Ford F150 with SYNC 3 Version 3.0
Android Auto on 2017 Ford F150 with SYNC 3 Version 3.0 worked fine with a Samsung Note 8.
Phone was upgraded to Note 10+ and Android Auto connects and works for a few seconds and then does not work and SYNC 3 reverts back to standard Ford SYNC 3 screen.
Android Auto still works fine with same USB cable and Note 8 in either USB port in truck on SYNC 3.
Note 10+ Android Auto version is 4.5.592854-release
Note 8 Android Auto version is 4.5.592854-release
Note 10+ Android Software is Version 9 Kernel version 4.14.83
Note 8 Android Software is Version 9 Kernel version 4.4.153

I can confirm that in my case I have turned off optimized power and set the phone to maximum performance. I have tried every setting for power and have not had any luck in my case on my Note 10+ phone.
I can confirm that in my case I have run through all of the USB debugging ON/OFF scenarios as well as matching every setting that is on the Note 8 that continues to work with AA and SYNC 3. I have tried every setting and have not had any luck in my case on my Note 10+ phone. I have switched USB cables using everything from Samsung to Anker one-foot to three-foot. All of these cables continue to work with the Note 8 on Android Auto, SYNC 3.
My assumption is this is a new ore revised USB security or access setting embedded somewhere I am unable to locate in the Note 10+ settings/software.
I also tried disabling DEX as that is something new that notifies when connecting USB on the Note 10+ and I figured it might be a conflict with other USB connectivity. No luck there either.
My Note 8 continues to work fine. I am even able to run a Hotspot on the Note 10 + feeding the Note 8 via Wi-Fi connected directly to the USB in the vehicle and that works.
Nothing works on the Note 10+ directly connected to the vehicle via USB with Android Auto and it sounds like it was a problem with the Note 9 and other phones also.
It's frustrating how everything could change so drastically with a new phone release.
I just want Android Auto to work on my new $1100.00 SAMSUNG FLAGSHIP PHONE Note 10+ like it did with my previous SAMSUNG FLAGSHIP PHONE Note 8 ...
Based on all of the previous posts, it appears to be a big problem and I'm sure the others posting have not found resolution, unless they are just not following up with a post.
FYI, Andoid Auto works perfectly on my Note 10 + (and it also worked on my previous Note 8). Using wired set up to 2017 GMC. (And it did work when Dex was on my phone, and it also works now with Dex disabled.)
Thanks
Thanks for responding. Might be a Ford SYNC 3 thing as that appears to be the difference.

I believe (I could be wrong) FORD SYNC 3 is Microsoft (back end).
I had no issues on the S10+ so I can't blame One UI . Tried power settings tried to change USB settings (won't let me when connected to the head unit)
Will try power settings next
My AA works with my Chevy Redline no issues
Hey everyone, I'm struggling to make this device working with Android Auto (wired) on my Mazda CX3: it was perfectly working on my OP7 Pro
When I connect it to the car the Realme start to flash that is connecting and back to normal continously in a loop and I can't do anything.
Is it something happening to anybody else ?
Did someone find a solution ?
I tried to clear all connections, clear data/cashe in AA app and I don't know what to do anymore...
Thanks for any feedback !
hello, i have exactly the same problem on the Renault Clio 4 (2019) car. And I can't solve it.
Anybody else does have problem with AA and this phone ?
Close all programs, reboot phone then go into settings and search android auto before plugging in that is how i got it to work in my van.
Also check playstore and see if there is an update and allow nearby devices permission and make sure it isnt restricted in battery settings.

No way... I believe it's a Mazda problem but I update the infotainment without any success for AA.
With other smartphones it works with no problem... it's a pity !
Hello,
for me AA is working with renault car.
You can't try to "Start Head Unit Server" manually.
[Android 4.1+]Proxy/GateWay for Android Auto
Background - Couple of years ago Google have launched Android Auto, but up till recently the only way to connect your device to the car/head unit was to plug in a USB cable. As of 2018 this starts to change, BUT it looks like you will need to...

Same problem here with Realme GT Master Edition and Android Auto in my Mazda 3 2019.
The only way to connect my phone with Android auto is to eliminate the device in Mazda Connect before connecting it with USB cable.

Anyone have success syncing their Fold 4 to Chrome OS Phone Hub?
Hi,
Working fo me with HP X360.
Must be something specific to me then with the Duet 3, only shows my old phone
haven't had a chance to try it yet
It was difficult to make Fold 4 working with chromebook.
For me too, only shows my old phone so I reset my chromebook to default (powerwash I thnik) then I have to force pairing of Fold 4 (link above). And then it works.I guess only pairing is needed.

I've run those steps so many times. I've powerwashed my chromebook also. I find it interesting that my chromebook and phone can not see each other in bluetooth. I have a Duet 3.
I've at least narrowed it down to this showing up under the Fold 4 settings in the proximity auth logs.
"[Better Together host]": "[not supported]",
I think that has to show supported, before it will show up, but no idea how that would get changed.
