Android Auto on Samsung J7 - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

I am connecting to Android Auto on a Samsung J7. Apps all work but when switching to navigation the GPS registers and my location is shown but when a route is input google maps does a search and comes back saying it cannot locate google.
I have no issues on my S6 but the J7 has this navigation issue. Any ideas??? My car is a 2016 Honda Civic.

What phone settings do I change co connect to Android auto?

Location on watch

Does anyone know if it's possible to get GPS on the watch without the phone being paired. Everytime I try tracking in s-health it will only track my route if GPS is on on my phone. Similarly in here maps I can't get a location fix if GPS is not turned on my phone.

I know that the LTE version can transmit GPS location without being connected to a smartphone. I'm not sure about the BT only model.

I also have the LTE version. It works but you have to go into the settings and turn on the location in settings. I don't know how it works with BT version. You may want to go in and see if you have location settings.
As far as maps, you may be out of luck. You will still need the phone to send the map to the watch. With the LTE version I can get a map or navigate in standalone because I have a LTE connection to retrieve the data.
Now I did notice one thing. When I am connected to my phone, my S3 gets GPS from the phone and not the watch. The GPS on the watch only goes on when not connected to the phone.

Samsung S7 7.0, keeps dropping Sonos

The Setup:
Sky Router (uk broadband)
Sonos with Sonos Boost
Samsung S7 Android 7.0
Pixel Android 7.1.2
Iphone 10.3..1
Issue:
All phones can connect to the Sonos setup.
However the Samsung S7 drops the connection after a while and then cannot find the Sonos System.
The ONLY way is by rebooting the Sky Router.
Rebooting the phone does not work
Switching Wifi on and off does not work
Setting a static DHCP IP number for the Samsung and Sonos Boost, does not work.
I don't think i have any software or settings on the Samsung that should affect this.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can do?
Thanks

Location Pairing Between Devices

I have an LG G3 that has been rooted, with a mock location app moved to system apps, and then unrooted (the device can easily be rooted again if necessary). The LG G3 is running the most up to date firmware available for the device which is Android 5.0.1 with security version MDF v1.1 Release 3.
I also have a OnePlus 3 running the latest stock Oxygen OS available which is version 5.0.1 based off of Android 8.0.0 with Android security level patch December 1, 2017.
My goal is to have both devices sharing the exact same location, assuming they are in range with each other (e.g. - Connected to each other via, Bluetooth or WiFi). I want to be able to use my mock location app from the LG, alter my location, and have that location be seen as my current location on the OnePlus 3.
It is my knowledge that location can be detected via WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, and GPS, of which if you change the location mode/accuracy it will toggle between which options it used to determine the location.
I attempted to turn Airplane mode onto both the LG G3 and the One Plus 3. I then turned Bluetooth on on both devices and paired them. I turned the WiFi on, on my OnePlus 3. I then shared my internet connection (via Bluetooth). I tested to make sure that the LG G3 had an internet connection with a web browser, and the LG G3 was in fact connected to the web. As a side note, I turned airplane mode on on OnePlus 3 this way there was one less way for the true location to be detected.
Now that both devices are connected to each other and the internet is being shared, I figured the connection between the devices was secure, so I then turned my mock location app on on my LG G3 and moved my location elsewhere. In theory I thought this would work, but it wasn't working.
Come to think of it, I never totally disabled all possible location generation services on my OnePlus 3, so that is probably why the location on my OnePlus 3 was not working. Is there a way to modify this theory to make it work? I want both devices to be paired to the same location and for the OnePlus 3 to ignore its true location.

Android 9 not connecting to WiFi when screen is locked

Hello,
I have a stock Motorola Z3 Play running on Pie and there's one issue I can't solve.
When I get back home it won't connect to my WiFi network unless I unlock the screen. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature. I never had this issue on any of my previous phones, my wife has a Galaxy Xcover 4 running on 7.0 and it connects even before she enters the house.
I have presence detection based on wireless clients list on my smart home controller and having to unlock the phone manually each time I get back just kills the idea.
Is there any option I could miss in the settings that could force such behavior?

Problem with Sonos Roam? Can't wake it up from sleepmode

Hi, everyone!
I bought a Sonos Roam. Normally, you should be able to get the Sonos Roam out of standby mode by opening the app. I can also do this on a laptop, on a Samsung smartphone - but I can't do it on the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro. Bluetooth AND GPS must be switched on in parallel for it to work. Although only WLAN should be required for this (as on Laptop & Samsung Smartphone). Are there any settings that I don't know that cut the WLAN and are canceled when Bluetooth / GPS is activated ???
I tried every setting i could find and cant get it to work...
Many Thanks
