Android auto not connecting to Hyundai Kona.

Hi there,
I recently bought a Hyundai Kona and I am trying
to connect a Wileyfox Swift 2 phone using android auto . Nothing happens . I downloaded the AA app and
set it up on my phone but when I plug it in to the car, the AA logo on the cars head unit doesn’t turn on. I tried an iPhone and it connected immediately.
Can anyone advise ? Please ?

Did you connect using original USB cable ?
Usually poor quality cables are cause problems with connectivity.

I would like to discuss this topic also. My wife has Kona 2018-2019 and I'm interesting in how to change or update this head unit software or install something like navigation in it thru android system or android phone?
Thanks for any help.
A little review of system : This KONA has android based software and all I can see in settings is version of software : os.eur.sop.v085.180528.dau_a and firmware is : os.eur.267.180113.micom.dl

Question Android auto issues

Hi everyone, having weird issues with op9pro and new Mazda CX5 infotainment. I could get it connected a couple of times but it starts to disconnect everytime I use it.
I tried opo6 with a custom rom based on Android 10 and it works perfectly.
In my previous Mazda 6 the op9pro use to work without any issue.... I read around there are issues with AA and android 11 in general, with different cars, I tried various workarounds but it seems impossible to have a stable connection here... Am I the only one around? Some suggestions would be appreciated

I'm also having problems with AA on my car. Here is my work-around:

Changing cables did not solve the AA problem for me. Except the oneplus 3t cable, I've only tried with anker ones. Maybe I should have tried other brands.
Interesting thing, the Anker USB-C to USB-A USB2 cable has solved the problem with my older power-bank.

hi to all, changed cable, tried PTP workaround, it could work once or twice but later as you connect the phone to the car it won't work for sure .... a real pain .... the only way for me is to use the old OP6 with android 10 custom ROM with the car, and the OP9P (main device and number!) not connected at all with the car, using a BT headset to answer while driving ..... what a shame!

Have you tried setting don't optimize for aa, then when you plus your phone into your car hold on the notification. Change it to important then turn sound and vibration off for that notification

I had similar issues with my OP9. I then made sure USB debugging was on in developer settings and that fixed the issue.

thanks for suggestion but no way, I can connect once the OP9P playing with usb in developer section settings, but it works once, and I have to delete the car from the phone and the phone from the car settings ! When I reconnect to the car the OP9P starts to opening AA and closes it quickly, it never connects as my old OP6 with android 10 and custom ROM does ....
Now I am waiting for amazon to deliver other usb cables from Ugreen, but I don't think they will solve my issue .... hope very soon a custom ROM will arrive for this OP9P so that I will probably solve this SW issue, not sure it is only on Goolge side the reason for this issue, I suppose it could be something on Oneplus Oxygen ....

You need developer settings on.
You need to turn on USB Debugging.
If this still fails, try switching the DEFAULT USB CONFIGURATION to FILE TRANSFER from NO DATA TRANSFER.
You may need to reboot after this, you may not.
Default USB Configuration is found under the Networking section in Developer Options, between Tethering hardware acceleration and Show Bluetooth devices without names.

all settings are ok in the OP9P, but it works as usual only once and after I stop the car in never reconnects again! if I reboot OP9P sometimes it works again .... for me it's not the "right" way to use it.
the OP6 works perfectly you can connect and disconnect how many times you want it never fails!
let's wait for next oxygen updates and maybe also google patches for their SW .... thanks again for sharing your experience!

Here is an update, after some time trying various combinations, I realized this device works perfectly the first time you connect to the car, if you turn off the car for example to get some fuel for a few minutes or less, or if you disconnect the phone and reconnect it without waiting, op9p won't connect anymore, but if you wait like a quarter then it will work perfectly.... the old op6 is not doing like that!!!!
Anyway now I know how to make it work and I can handle it someway!

Question Android Auto Issue

Does anyone know why I'm having android auto issues? When I connect my phone, it just loops connecting and disconnecting android auto over and over, and randomly will decide to connect after some amount of time or rebooting the phone. Just to clarify, once it connects it stays connected, so it's just an issue with the initialization.
It is not the cable, I've used it with my Galaxy for a while and even tried others. This issue was also present before and after rooting so I know it's not that. This was also present on the OP9 non-pro I tried. I also tried switching the default USB mode to File Transfer and PTP with no improvement.
Thanks guys!

Hi, there is a problem with the 1+9 pro, not yet fixed in Oxygen OS 11.2.5.5.LE15BA.
Here is a thread about it, and a work-around that works for me,
but not for everyone it seems.

Glad to know it's OP and not my phone. I'm confident the cable isn't the issue. In terms of your workaround, why not just set PTP as default in developer settings? What's different about setting it yourself?

First, choosing PTP or "data transfer" does the trick. When the connection to AA is stable, the phone goes back to "only charging" .
Secondly, I did not try "extensively" setting a default connection mode other than charging in dev options when looking for a work-around.
Some said it works for them (one 1+ forum) but when I tried it, it didn't for me. I did not try to set it, reboot, try, set another, reboot. I was looking for something better so I've skipped it and my actual work-around is okay for me.
Thirdly, I don't like to let a connection access to the data of my phone without having to unlock it.

Question Andoid Auto

Got my Fold 3 a few days ago. Got is setup and plugged it into my truc,k and my Android Auto unit reads "No Device'". My Note 10 works fine but not my new phone. My headunit is a Jensen (like I said, worked fined with my Note 10). The Fold3 works find in my Nissan (Pioneer head unit) and my Edge (factory Ford Sync).

I am no expert here, but when I had a similar issue. I believe it is because I transferred everything from my prior phone to the new one. I got the same error when trying to pair my phone with wireless Android Auto in my Kia K5. My solution was to goto Google Play Services and clear the cache there. For some reason that allowed my phone to be found by my reciever. and worked. I didn't experince this with my new ZF3 but I did when I got my Note 20 Ultra last year. So try clearing the cache in Google Play Services.

Hey so try clearing the cache in the Google Play Services app. This worked for me when I had a similar issue with my Kia K5 going from Note 9 to Note 20 Ultra. I got the same error no device. This was going to a wireless head unit for AA. I finally figureout how to clear the cache in the Google Play Services app. Then went back to connect and it worked. Try this. It may work for the ZF3. Thankfully I did not have the same issue going from the Note 20 Ultra to ZF3. But this is what I would have done.

Thanks, man. I did that and to no avail. My phone is still not being recognized by my truck. When I press "Android Auto" on my head unit, I still get the message "No Device"

I'd flip cables for sure. Then I'd go to your setting when plugged in and make sure it's not set to charge only on the phone. Should be adjustable from the notification on charging.

I've having some weird issues with android auto and my fold 3. I've noticed when connected to android auto I often loose cellular data and it switches from 5g/lte/edge and no service. If I disable android auto the phone operates normally. Anyone else seeing anything similar.

Just a thought for OP. Did you happen to try opening Android Auto app in phone and checking to see if truck is an added vehicle and add if not?

The cable seems the most viable option. There is no option to select or deselect charging only, and Android Auto is no longer separate app. It is built into the OS and automatically opens when the phone is plugged into a headunit and there are no options to manipulate. The pain is that the dash has be pulled out to change the cable so I'll have to research a certified cable.

Did you buy chance to to settings > advance settings > then use Android auto there? Not sure if a setting in that will help. When I open it it wantsto attempt to connect to vehicle

When I go there, I get the button to connect to a car, but when I plug the cable in, nothing happens and the head unti still displays no device. I'm thinking that I'm going to have to remove the dash and change the cable.

Ah well unfortunately don't no more than that, just knew I saw an android auto option in there. My car doesn't support wireless and haven't tried the wired part yet to see

Well, removed the dash and head unit and changed the cable. I tried a Belkin USB-C certifed cable and even the known working cable from my other truck, and got the same thing.
On the phone I get the notification to stop my truck and apply the parking brake to continue and on the head unit I still get the notice of "no device" when I press the screen for Android Auto. At this point, I'm hoping I don't have to change my head unit to get this setup to work.

Weird mine worked just fine.
Did you make sure everything was updated

Yeah. I called Jensen they say it's a phone problem, Samsung says it's a Jensen problem

Got an email from Jensen customer service. My HU uses a bypass to allow certain functions while my truck is moving. I installed the HU myself and also installed the bypass. Jensen engineers found that I need to disconnect the parking brake wire from the bypass and connect it to chassis ground. I did that and was able to connect. I'm so happy to be able to use my phone in my truck.

Question S22 OTG Gamepad Gamesir x2

I have an S22 with Stock Android and bought Gamesir X2 to play XBOX Cloud and Retroarch games with it.
For some reason I decided to buy the USB-C version over the Bluetooth (I thought I was neat to be able to charge the phone while playing and also less input lag due to BT delays).
Thing is, gamepad arrived, I rushed to plug it in and found out nothing happened. Gamepad blue light stays blinking (its supposed to stay blu when connected) and the phone doesnt even detects anything.
This is supposed to be a simple OTG gamepad, so should be plug-n-play.
I reached to Samsung about 'how do I enable OTG to use my gamepad' and the answer was 'OTG is enabled by default'
I also reached out to Gamesir, they told me to try press G+S buttons on the pad while connected, but nothing happened
There's a Gamesir app that is suppsed to be used to detect it (and also map the gamepad on some touch screen games) but doesnt work for me
I also found some guy on youtube claiming I should enable ADB debug and set USB default to 'File transfer'. Doesnt work either
Anyone having the same issue?
Anyone having a USB-C Gamepad working?
Any ideas on what to try out to get it working?
Thanks in advance

I've recently run into a similar issue however on a S23+. The device I'm trying to use is a Seek CompactPro FF USB-C which uses powered OTG. No need of a cable as it has USB-C built into the device itself.
It didn't work at first, it detected it and tried to open the "Seek Thermal" app which is normal but in the app itself the device was not being detected. Did a ton of searching until finally I found another person having a similar issue where the work around was to plug in the OTG device, then reboot the phone with the device still plugged in.
Give that a try? IMO it shouldn't be like this, and it isn't very well documented anywhere I look...but that worked for me for my device. Did not work any other way. Device works perfectly fine after rebooting phone with it plugged in.

Thanks for your reply 86, tried that but didnt work for me. I saw a couple of videos where the blinking blue light might mean that its not connecting well (its supposed to stay blue) so I guess its something to do with how the cable is connecting. Since Gamesir already told me I have no warranty nor support from them as I bought it on Amazon instead of their site I'm thinking on tearing it appart during the weekend.
If I break it I'll end up with a nice pouch case for my cables (the most expensive pouch ever).
