[Q] Pandora Issue With Connecting To Car Radio Via Accessory Feature

I have a Sprint 16gb Nexus 5 running Kitkat 4.4 build krt16M (Stock, Rooted)
I have a Kenwood Excelon kdc-x896 car radio, which has Pandora compatibility built in.
When using my Rooted Verizon Galaxy Nexus with 4.3 custom rom installed (or any version down to 4.0), Pandora would connect (sometimes haphazardly) to the radio via the Pandora Feature, resulting in the correct Black screen on the Phone (for the Pandora App), signifying that it was in accessory mode.
Currently, when I press the pandora button on my radio, after my phone has connected via bluetooth, it stays on check device & does not enter accessory mode (or attempt to on the phone). I have tried with Pandora open & closed, and with a freshly rebooted phone. I have also tried with two different nexus 5's.
Any ideas to troubleshoot?

I'm having this same issue... I can't find a fix so far though.

If you have bluetooth in your car can't you just play pandora through the BlueTooth Audio and bypass the pandora feature on the stereo? That is how mine works.

I have the same issue with mine (Pioneer z140bt). I've tried resetting the head unit to factory settings and pairing with my N5, but no luck. Mine will popup on my phone "Pandora Accessory" and then my head unit will say "Check your smart phone screen when it's safe to do so" and then nothing.

Mine is working fine. I use built in Pandora feature all the time in my car. The black accessory screen pops up as expected. I'm running stock 4.4.2. Rooted with Franco kernel. FWIW.

Any updates on this by chance ?

Stop a popup that appears Every. Single. Time. I plug into my car stereo via USB?

I have searched far and wide on the internet for a solution to this problem and no dice.
I have a 2015 Moto X Pure Experience running Android 6.0. It supports USB audio fully.
When I plug in via USB to my Kenwood car stereo it spams a message in a white box in my face that says "This device is not supported please click [VIEW] to download the Kenwood audio app".................if I simply wait 2 seconds audio plays just fine since my phone is compatible. I can even control it with the stereo buttons.
Its extremely annoying to have to click cancel on that little screen every single time.
Is there any way to stop a text box popping up from a USB device?
Thanks.

[Bluetooth/Connectivity] Oneplus 5 can't find car audio system

Hello guys,
I have a OnePlus 5, and my car is a Renault Clio IV, 2015. My phone can't seem to find my car via bluetooth, nor the opposite. I tried restarting both and both are visible, and my car still has slots to fill with devices, so that's not the problem.
My questions are:
1- Is that software or hardware related?
2- Can I do anything about it?
3- Do I need to wait for an update from OnePlus?
4- Nothing can be done?
I read that there are bluetooth profiles and so, I was just wondering if I could do anything about it, because it's a pain if I could not connect my phone to my car.

Anybody?

Bluetooth is practically unusable, what gives?

Fully stock OnePlus 8 - global unlocked version. Current Oxygen OS build is stable OTA 10.5.9.IN21AA.
My phone will not connect to my aftermarket JVC car stereo. I had no problems with my previous phones including my OnePlus 6T. Up until today I had been having a lot of frustration when getting into the car, turning it on, and the phone said it was connected to the radio, but the radio showed it was not. I would have to go into the bluetooth settings on the OP8 every time and de pair then re pair them for it to work. Sounds like first world problems, but having to do it every time the car is started when it should just automatically connect to a remembered device was quite frustrating. Today the problem actually got worse. I went to connect my phone, as per the usual I had to de pair and re pair the radio and it showed as paired. So I loaded up Amazon Music and started playing, but the audio didn't come from the speakers, it came from the phone only. I went into the bluetooth settings for the JVC radio and tried untoggling and toggling "media audio". No dice. Tried rebooting the phone, still no dice. Turned the radio off after saying some choice words and drove in silence.
Then tonight I was outside cooking on the grill and tried to connect the phone to my JBL Charge 3 speaker. It did the same thing. It connected but music didn't play from the speaker, it played from the dang phone.
I have never had a phone do anything like this, and frankly am about to return the dang thing as much as I like the phone's performance I have too many devices that are bluetooth that I use daily to have a phone that is unreliable with those devices.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or have any ideas on something I can try?

Wanted to post an update. I emailed OnePlus and they offered a suggestion that seems to have solved the problem.
1. Network reset:
Open the 'Settings' app on your device > Navigate to 'Backup & reset' > 'Network reset' > 'Reset' Note: This will erase all passwords of connected Wi-Fi networks.
After performing the Network Reset my devices pair as expected.

I am a new owner of the OnePlus 8T 5G and I am very dissatisfied. I plan to contact Sprint/T Mobile today to see if there is something I can do to get a refund or exchange. Today's problem is that I cannot connect to my bluetooth speaker. It took me several tries to connect it to my Subaru and now it will not pick up this speaker. Why is this so complicated? I am also very unhappy with the amount of ads that appear on my phone, even on the lock screen. If this is what 5G means, count me out!!!!

Samsung a51 audio not working

I don't know if I'm in the real place, I'm really new here(about posting something)
So I got an a51 from my brother, it was rebooting constantly and wouldn't play or record audio. I tried a bunch of things that will be listed further. But you know now what I know. I can't tell when it started, the phone is kinda old. And that's what I got. Audio wouldn't play, I started to focus on that first. Weirdly enough when I first flashed stock firmware, audio was working just fine, until it rebooted by itself. Also, after that, I noticed build.prop was missing almost everything, including USB mtp settings, audio codecs, just quite literally enough to boot phone. I tried to change it for some fota.zip that came in ap with stock firm, no luck tho. If you think that's the problem, can you help me find a stock and not installation build.prop or idk?
It recognizes if the one connected is a headset, or a Bluetooth, or even the phone's speaker, but nothing. If I try to play an audio file it says the format is unsupported, and any application that uses microphone or audio output will prompt an error.
I've tried:
...Flashing custom audio (drivers? Idk, it was v4a and james)
....Changing the entire sub board, or whatever it's called in English
...changing settings
...nand option in Odin
...downgrading to android 11 and 10
Device:
...android 11 (it came as android 12)
...sm-a515f/t
...carrier: zto
I thank you since now sz
