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.
A silly question but I've been struggling to work this out across a few ROMs (all AOSP/LOS base). I can get bluetooth on, broadcast presence, find devices & connect but the dialog to confirm the key pair never appears. This means the confirmation times out on the device I'm connecting to and so it effectively doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas on the likely source of the dialog so I can root around the apks/services that might be playing up in more depth? I thought it would've been in either Bluetooth Share or Bluetooth Midi but they're both present & unrestricted in terms of permissions, privacy and so on.
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.
On a Motorola Moto-Z the Wlan and BT can not be activated - the 'Wi-Fi' switch does not move to the On position, and any step to use BT produces a 'Bluetooth has stopped'.
This phenomenon appeared on the stock Android 6, and remainded after installing lineage-OS 17.1.
Basic Question, device independent:
Is Wlan/BT typically controlled by software internally?
Could it be repaired by updating (a part of) the firmware?
Hi guys, tried to use android auto today for the first time and having absolutely no luck. Either with wireless or a cable. Car says device not recognized. I've rebooted both, deleted all devices off the cars system etc and still nothing. The phone connectsvia Bluetooth and takes calls and plays music no issue but android auto won't connect. When I plug the phone in via USB it says device not supported?
I've Googled and it seems this is a common issue. Does anyone know of a fix or having similar issues? I'm rooted so wondering is that the issue or could there be a workaround as I'm rooted instead perhaps. All suggestions welcome, thanks!
