Hi All,
Not sure if this is possible, but thought its worth asking...
I've upgraded from the S6 to the S7 and we couldn't get the Bluetooth to detect in the car.
It doesn't appear in the list, the S6 worked just fine - or so I thought...
I had the S6 originally configured with Lollipop and the OTA pushed me to Marshmallow, didn't have any issues with Bluetooth - until I wiped the S6 to factory settings and attempted to connect my car.
The S6 on MM didn't find the car Bluetooth, I downgraded to Lollipop on the S6 and I was able to detect and connect to the Car Audio successfully. I've upgraded to MM now after being successfully paired to the car and everything is fine with the S6.
I really want to get this up and running on my S7 - otherwise I'll need to sell it and replace it with something else... As most of you are aware MM is the first release on the S7 so I can't downgrade... I tried it on a Nexus 6P with MM, that worked just fine, it might be a touchwiz thing?
I don't think the car is capable of a firmware upgrade to fix this - its a BMW 118i 2008 with the "Professional Radio"
I've searched a few forums - no such luck finding one.
Guys, I'm open to suggestions to try and make this work...
I've tried Bluetooth apps in the play store, no luck so far, I've tried clearing the cache as I've read in a post, I've reset the phone twice...
The S6/S7 is not rooted, not sure if there are any ROMs out there or modem upgrades that could possibly resolve this.
Thanks all,
I am aware you already cleared cache, but just to make sure everything here is tried at the same time in the same run.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Application Manager
Find Bluetooth and Force Stop it
Now clear the cache and data
Now find Bluetooth Share and repeat the same process
Reboot and start the next section
Now you'll need to make sure you're trying to pair it correctly with your vehicle
Insert remote control all the way into the ignition lock
Switch on ignition without operating the brake or clutch or pressing the start/stop button
Press the Menu button
Press the controller to open the "i" menu
Select "Settings" and press the controller
Select "Bluetooth" and press the controller
Move the highlight marker to the second field from the top, select "Phone" and press the controller.
Select "Pair new phone" and press the controller
Select "Start pairing" and press the controller
The bluetooth name of the vehicle should now be displayed on your phone
That is taken directly from your manual I believe. If that still doesn't work are you sure that you don't have too many devices paired to your car? Try deleting an old phone or two from your car to see if that clears things up.
Also, I do think you are able to do updates for your vehicle.

Hey everyone. I am running a stock, rooted OS (v 4.4.2). I have version 1.4 of the remote play app installed, and it works awesome! With the on screen controls it works great, and is very snappy.
I am running into a bunch of issues getting my DS4 to pair to the device via bluetooth.
I tried doing the native bluetooth pairing (holding share + PS on the controller, and scanning on the GS5). The device showed up, but if I tried to pair it, it would literally just sit there and never do anything.
Next, I ended up having to use SixAxisPairTool in conjunction with SixAxis Compatibility Checker (as mentioned in other threads). I used the compatibility checker to get my BT local address, and then I used the PairTool to change the master address to the one listed. When I try to pair the device with bluetooth inside the compatibility checker, it flat out fails and says no devices are connected, and to connect with usb.
Except the instructions on their website say the exact opposite - to disconnect the controller from usb and press the PS button to pair. When I stop trying to pair in the compatibility checker, I get an error saying that the maximum number of devices are connected.
So, I closed out of the compatibility checker, and opened back up the native bluetooth settings, and tried repairing again. This time the device showed up, and it is now listed as paired. But there is no light on the DS4. If I press the PS button, it does one of the following: it flashes white constantly, it flashes white once and stays lit for a few seconds and then goes off, it flashes white several times then stays on for a second.
I have unpaired the device inside the phone, and then pressed the PS button, and I get prompted with a request to pair the device. When I accept, the same thing happens. The light disappears on the back of the DS4, and nothing happens.
I tried using a joystick tester to see if it was connected and the light just didn't work properly, but there doesn't seem to be any communication between the two devices.
I would really like to avoid having to buy an OTG cable (namely because I can't seem to find a decent one except for questionably sourced ones from a reliable vendor), and really was hoping for a wireless setup.
Can anyone help a brother out here? I have had a prompt in my dock for months about a system update for my phone, but I have been hesitant to install it because I don't want to lose root, and none of the ROMs out there seem to be vanilla stock + root.
Edit:
I unpaired the controller from my phone, and opened back up the compatibility checker. Ignoring the pair button, I just started the software. Then I hit the PS button and it flashes white 2-3 times and stops. If I do this again, it will repeat. No text changes on the screen. I can do this two more times. When I attempt to do this a fifth time, I get an error message saying "Maximum number of clients already connected."
So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).
Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.
Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.
Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone.
If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Trouble Shooting:
I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.
Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!
To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.
Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
Before the 7.0 Nougat update on the S7 Edge (SM-G935P) the OTP (wired) connection would crash the phone; freezing the display, hard reboot. This happened on the OFW and rooted versions. Bluetooth would pair but you'd have to try multiple times and you'd need to delete the original pairing to repair (holding the pair buttons on the controller).
After the 7.0 Nougat update, controller support had been added- albeit horribly. The only connection is an OTP connection, Bluetooth still has errors. The button configurations are wrong though, the controller is useless. Square, X and circle are all wrong and triangle doesn't even register.
This is where I'm at, anyone know of any fix? I'm not looking forward to buying a Stratus XL (works perfectly but it's 60$)
I'm about to just switch from Samsung to Sony lol.
Unfortunately the guy that wrote this article is guilty of blatant douchbaggery (what good is a paired controller that cant be mapped and starts mapped completely out of whack). Yes you can 2 button pair a ds4 controller but a ds4 controller is encrypted and requires in linux and linux like os a driver called SCP (SONY CORP.SOMTHING......) That just isnt offered by any app ive seen on droid other than sixaxis. Alternately you could always hard wire it . The major flaw in this is the inability to stop the controller from charging in this case off your phone battery. As far as the mapping goes the only issue is android uses the generic abxy combo which is cross circle square triangle in ps4 speak . in retrospect .....i suppose i should have stopped reading when the author claimed no root. The controller keylayout files (.kl) are located in/system/user/keylayout. How are u supposed to do anything to those w/o root?
Hi,
Did somebody try to use an android auto function? My car (Peugeot 308SW 2018) and the phone not connecting with latest (8.1.0) android version. I tried to enable an USB debugging (as workaround recommendation), but nothing changed...
Have you other idea or working solution?
thx!

Yes, it works perfectly in my mid 2017 Kia Cee'd SW. Check if you have android auto enabled(i have the option to disable it and the apple car play). Also, the usb cable is working properly when connecting to a pc?
At the car side is enabled, at phone side i didnt found any additional options...
The best result was the android auto icon at phone appears and disappears continously with 2-3 different cables.
Is it possible the car head unit firmware not compatible with N7P latest SW version?

Doubt it. The car is from this year, it seems unlikely(to me) that the firmware wasn't up to date.
Stupid question, you have the android auto app installed on the phone right? Android has a Car Mode but to use android auto you need to install the app 1st(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.projection.gearhead&hl=en). If the link says that you have no compatible device, download the latest version from here(https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/)
For almost a year I thought my head-unit wasn't up to date as the android auto would freeze, the app would say that the head-unit wasn't up to date, waze would display random artefacts, etc.
Now with the N7p it is butter smooth, no funky stuff and way more responsive that when I was trying to use it with my Redmi 4 Prime(same cable but with a micro-b to usb c adapter)...
No issues with AA in Seat Ateca 2018.
Everything works like a charm.
For phonecalls, you need to select default sim first, otherwise the call hangs on a sim selection prompt on the phone.
I write to nokia support and they send:
- clear the bluetooth cache
- do a soft reset
after this steps working fine...
what is Bluetooth cache?

You found here, how to clear: http://support.hereplus.me/hc/en-us/articles/115003497328-Clearing-your-Bluetooth-Cache-Android-/
Do you install android auto app on your smartphone ? some lands doesn't have android auto on the play store, so you need to download manually on apk mirror web site (arm64 version)
A good quality cable is also needed.
I'm having similar issues.
This phone won't work in both my VW cars.
If I clear all settings it works fine.
I get to my destination, unplug and then when I head out on my next trip it doesn't. Just a blank screen on the head unit and the phone has the green screen saying launch Android Auto on the head unit.
Tried the BT cache clearing as above. Will try a factory reset of the phone shortly too otherwise wait for pie and if still no go then sell the phone which I will miss
Though can't work without Android Auto now
It is definitely problem with Nokia 7 plus. In my car it connect and after few minutes black screen and solution is only disconnect and connect again.

I've found the bluetooth with my N7P poor anyway. This is my second one and the same as the first.
All HMD will do is send you a list of the bluetooth protocols they support.
So you may need to change your car ?
My 7+ works perfectly now.
Enable USB debugging and disable the extreme power saving settings.
Long story short have a TMo 7Pro that I converted to the international version. Running firmware 9.5.10.
I have searched the forum, I searched online. I cleared the Bluetooth cache and data. I hard reset the network settings for wifi and Bluetooth on that screen and restarted my phone. I did this twice. I even wiped my phone completely.
The issue is, my Bluetooth keeps turning on and off itself. I have watched it do it. My smartwatch (Fossil Q), wireless earbuds (Jabra 65ts) and car all constantly connect and disconnect from Bluetooth.
Sometimes the Jabras will go, connected, no device detected. My car will connect and disconnect on calls and music.
Help. This is an extremely aggravating issue. Once again I have already hard reset the wireless settings for wifi, Bluetooth and whatever have you and wiped the cache and data for Bluetooth specifically.
Thank you.
I have the exact same, watch, and 9.5.10 (not converted though) and have not had this issue. Maybe try clearing cache partition:
Wipe cache partition
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Volume down and Power button at the same time.
When the OnePlus logo appears, release the Power button, but continue holding the Volume down button.
At the Password screen, enter the Password or PIN number that you use to unlock your device. When done, tap Ok.
Tap English.
Tap Wipe data and cache.
Tap Wipe cache.
Tap Yes to continue.
Tap Reboot to restart the phone.
Thanks friend, I actually just tried that and no dice. It works for a little while everything I do, but then it starts happening again a couple hours later.

Try this:
Delete your phone profile from your car.
Delete it also from your smartwatch.
Clear cache and data from your phone bluetooth, "forget" both of them from your phone, and reconnect all as new devices.
I hope that works.
Hi guys, I updated my Allwinner T3 P1 last week through Android check for updates without installing custom ROM or anything like that, just a regular update.
It turns out that since then my app that I used for Android Auto and CarPlay, which is called TLINK, simply stopped recognizing the iPhone. (Android continues normally). The iPhone connects normally, even charging works normally, but the app fails to recognize it and displays "fails to link, try another usb port". I've tried other ports, cables, apps, even other iPhones and nothing happens.
I did a factory reset and still nothing.
After factory reset, bluetooth also stopped working, now I can't search for bluetooths devices anymore, I also tried go to extra settings > config info > {tick BC7, untick BC6 and BC8} but still, I continue without bluetooth and without CarPlay.
I downloaded a ROM and put it on the pendrive to really try to format the device, but it happens that when I go to car settings > system update nothing happens, as if the option had no action, I pressed multiple times and still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this?
