Greetings. I have a T-Mobile G7 and 2017 Honda Pilot.
Connecting to Android Auto is very flakey. No matter what when I plug in the phone to the car a message shows up on the car display that says "unknown device." Still, sometimes the connection works and sometimes it doesn't. Clearing cache does not seem to help.
I have tried using different cables with no improvement. The connection works fine with other phones.

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.
I am using my Nexus 5X with Android Auto (on a 2016 VW Golf) and I am finding that the initial connection between the phone and the vehicle is unreliable. I am using a Google OEM USB C to USB A cable and of course I have Android Auto app installed. Sometimes the vehicle finds and connects automatically and more often it tries to connect and fails. When it initially fails I disconnect the cable from the phone, wait a minute and reconnect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it requires a third or fourth reconnection. Occasionally (!) I will get a notification on the phone that USB is connected to a power source and I have switched to USB as PTP.
It's all a bit random and I haven't done a good job yet on weeding out what works and what doesn't. I have wondered whether it is to do with Marshmallow and permissions, but I have granted Android Auto pretty much every permission in the book and it is still fussy.
Anyone else with Android Auto found this? Any advice on how to get a consistent experience?
I haven't been able to get Android Auto working at all on my 2016 GTI, though I haven't tried with Google's USB C to USB A cable.
I was bummed because it worked most of the time with my LG G3.
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

Hello!
I would like to ask if anyone has bluetooth connectivity issues. I am at 32.4.A.1.54 rooted.
I noticed the following problems trying to connect Z5P with my new smart watch Zeblaze THOR PRO:
1st try with WiiWatch app (suggested for this watch): Can't connect and the app is crashing. Afterwards I tried to connect my watch with my tablet and it is connected just fine!
2nd try with Watch Droid app: The two devices connect with each other but the connection is lost repeatedly, almost every minute.
3rd try with Wear OS: Can't connect at all
I have cleared cache and data etc from Bluetooth share and also I have reseted network settings but the problem still remains.
I have the same issue.

Your car is not the problem i faced that before and support had no idea what's happening, anyway activate developer mode and change usb configuration to transfer
That fixed it for me

I didn't put it from developer mode. But i tried changing it to transfer. Still nothing changed. It showed me only once that android auto is connected. But nothing changed in the car. And can't even press the notification. And when I open the settings of android auto. Couldn't find any car connection. It's so frustrating
I've just tried to put it to transfer. still the same issue. even though it is another car. But I was able to connect it with a car that has wireless android auto.
I really tried every usb, original and even 6A usb from my original one plus.
I'm I the only one having this problem
For me AA works fine in my Audi.
But it doesn't work in the Volvo of the company.
The volvo also had difficulties with my Huawei P30 Pro. Die Audi didn't have problems.
So could well be the car.

I don't think so. Because I've tried it in my Chevrolet and in a BMW. The usb is recognized. But when I open android auto. It says connect a usb to start android auto
