Android auto not connecting anymore - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Since 3 weeks I've been having problems with Android auto on my OnePlus 6
One day it was working fine and I was using it daily in my car. Then on the 24th of June, my car just stopped detecting my phone. My car (citroen cactus 2018) shows the option to select android auto, but when I select it, it just straight up tells me my device is not compatible after my phone screen flashes once.
I already checked online for all different solutions. I replaced my USB cables 4 times, checked with both usb debugging on and of, changed usb preference to file, midi, ptp. I reinstalled my phone, flashed different roms, but it just doesn't work.
Currently I am using:
OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS 10.3.4
Android auto 5.4.5
Anyone who can help me with this?

[Q] Windows PC will not recognize phone connected on USB

So, a month or so ago I updated my phone to L without a hitch. This morning, I tried to begin moving to M, but I can't get my computer to recognize that the phone is connected to a USB port.
I'm running the latest Win 7 Pro build (current patches), I've tried using every USB port on the box, and I've tried four different cables. The Nexus will charge off the USB, but the PC will not connect to it, so I can't perform any of the flashing commands. Dev options are set on the phone, ofc.
Any idea what the problem might be? I've had this same computer since the phone came out and, as I mentioned, I just used it a month ago to update the phone. No clue why the computer won't see the phone as connected.
I should note that I can't get the Device Manager to see anything connected, either, so it's not trying to update drivers or anything. Besides, I believe those are current, since everything worked a month ago.
Thanks.
MSFT issued a bunch of security patches on 10 NOV. I wonder if that screwed up something? Is anyone else having issues with Windows recognizing that the phone is connected? Neither MTP nor PTP storage mode makes a difference.
FYI, looks like the culprit. I rolled back all the system updates and now the phone is recognized. Now I just have to go one-by-one and figure out which one broke ADB...

MM and Android Auto

I flashed the MM upgrade on my US 5.5 and then did a factory reset, but now my Android Auto will not connect to my phone. I've tried swiping down and choosing MTP, but still does not connect. The phone is connecting to Bluetooth. After researching it seems to be a problem with Marshmallow and Android Auto. Does anyone know a fix?
Uninstall drivers and reinstall

There aren't any drivers. This is for Android Auto when I plug in to my Kia Sportage. Android Auto did work before the MM update, and it still works on other phones running 5.1.
Cant you just remove the device from android auto and then reconnect it?

I did remove the device, but Android Auto will not find the phone with the MM update. Seems to be a know issue with Samsung and LG devices.
I finally got Android Auto working by using the Developer options, Select USB configuration, RNDIS (USB Ethernet)

I have the same problem and i tried to put RNDIS but my cell doesnt get the configuration. Did you do something to put it on RNDIS?
I got a new car (Hyundai Kona) with android auto but my Idol 3 5.5 (6045I) will not connect to the car screen. I have MM on it (but not the 2 latest garbage updates). I have tried USB debugging, multiple(10) USB cords. I cannot get RNDIS to work on the USB -it reverts to charging. So my USB is set to MTP. My phone plays AA on it's own screen just fine but will not send it to the car screen. Bluetooth works fine.
The auto dealer rep tried his iphone (apple carplay) and another android phone and they connected just fine so it is not the car.
Any suggestions?

Device charges but does not recognize USB data transfer

Hello all,
I'm fairly new to this phone but I have been loving it so far. I've had a few issues with it, which most have been resolved (such as the phone defaulting to loudspeaker on phone calls).
Now my biggest issue is the USB connection. I first noticed it when I used to llug the adapter in for my headphones. The port worked great for a time and then I believe it was a security update that was released which seemed to jack it all up. Now I cannot use the port in the bottom of the phone for anything other than charging. Cannot use the headphones, cannot plug in my drone mavic pro (requires the phone app for on-screen first person flight), and I cannot plug the phone into the computer for data transfer.
I have pulled out the book of from my IT troubleshooting days and tried these solutions with no luck.
•various USB cables
•went into settings while phone was physically connected to the computer under connected devices, the USB section was greyed out stating not connected.
•checked in developer options us debugging on and off. I tried both ways for good measure.
•checked USB configuration type. I tried MTP, PTP, and RNDIS.
Any ideas?

I recently had similar USB symptoms on my Pixel 2 XL after the March security update. Also tried it in safe mode and tried factory data reset, but neither helped. I asked Google to replace the phone. Replacement works great, even after March security update.
Umm..I just recently had this issue. TBH I used a 3rd party cable but until last week it could 1. fast charge and 2. transfer data (included adb/fastboot), now however it does only charge, no whatsoever signs of connected device. Bought a new one, it does charge, sync(fastboot, adb,..), no fastcharge but ok.
Have you tried reflashing the March ROM (with the -w removed)? I'm running the March update (did the February too back in February) and I can still enable MTP (I just don't like that it doesn't stick in Oreo - coming from KitKat, that was - and still is - annoying.)
So I tried flashing the March update again and still had no luck. March update was a security update so whatever they did it must be in the coding. I got a warranty replacement for the phone and it works fine. I'm able to do data transfer and fast charging. I was very reluctant to install the March update again but after ignoring the notification for about a week, I installed it and it is working fine.
I talked to Googe about the issue and they said that the bug was fixed but for those phones that had the firmware installed, it has the issue permanently installed. The only option would be to replace the device.

Android Auto

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:

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.

Oneplus 6 not connecting to Android Auto. Oneplus 5 works fine.

I've just had my 2016 Mazda MX5 Miata's original equipment MZD Connect head unit upgraded to run Android Auto via a USB cable.
They tested it in the workshop with a couple of different phones and it all worked fine, but, alas - not with my Oneplus 6.
I'm running Android 10 and OxygenOS 10.3.0 and I can feel the phone vibrate in my hand as it repeatedly connects and immediately disconnects again. My wife's OnePlus 5 with Android 9 and OxygenOS 9.0.9 has no problems.
I've tried different cables, but it seems clear that it's a phone issue as all the other phones seem to connect with no problems.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Make sure it is not in charging mode from the menu when you plug it in. Also check the USB debugging. I connected easily to a 2019 Subaru.BTW, assuming Android auto app is on phone.

I've just set the default USB configuration to File Transfer. USB debugging is Off and Android Auto is built into Android 10, I believe (so you can't install the app anymore), but I have installed Android Auto for phone screens anyway - which is what you do if you still want to see the app on your phone. Does all that seem correct?

I'm actually doing a very tentative victory dance ATM. I think I've solved the problem.
I opened the Android Auto for phone screens app, went to settings and found there were no 'Accepted Cars' and the 'Add new cars to Android Auto' was switched off. I switched that on, it then connected and added the MX-5 as an Accepted Car. And seemingly all is working fine. I'll do more tests tomorrow.
The bit that is odd, though, is that the Android Auto app is no longer required with Android 10 - it's built in and does everything automatically. If I hadn't installed that extra 'Android Auto for phone screens' I wouldn't even have access to those settings.
Also - the solution may have had to do with the steps Right2Bear suggested. Something seems to have worked. But if it all goes wrong tomorrow, I'll certainly try your suggestion, bilool. Thanks!!
