Question I have 2 identical S21 but only one can connect to AA - FYT Android Head Units

Hello everyone.
So I recently bought 2 Samsung S21 for me and my wife, but only one is recognized by our car, the other not. I suspect that somehow the problem is with USB File Transfer not being correctly enabled.
For the cell phone that works, we plug it to the car via USB cable and instantly the car recognizes it, pair and works.
For the fault cell phone, we connect it to the car via USB cable and nothing happens, it just start charging and nothing more.
I could see that the working cell phone has a "USB Settings" menu accessible via notification panel, while the other one doesn't. Talking about this menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I already:
Accessed the Developer Options and changed Default USB configuration to Transfering files
Did a Factory data reset (soft reset)
Restarted the car's system to factory default
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Normally a phone has to first connect via Bluetooth. Check if the faulty phone does so. If not, bluetooth pair it with your unit.
Only then connect it it via USB to your unit and see if it now works.
Even though this is a phone question, next time mention what kind of unit you have, which Android version level, etcetera.

Yes @mobilefox , very important information to us to help providing well targeted answers !

Thank you for the answer.
I just noticed the faulty phone cannot transfer files to Windows and the working one can. It is the same behavior, when connected to USB, just charging. Must be something about data/transfer not enabled

Android 12 I suppose, check if , when connected via usb, both units ask for data transfer / charging only question !

Or a faulty USB-C connector. My previous Samsung had that as well.

Just an update:
I could manage to make the faulty phone to connect both to computer and car.
The only way I could do it was:
Plug-in the USB cable both in phone and car/computer
With cable connected and phone charging, access Developer Options
Changed Default USB configuration from "Transfering files" to any other options (Transferring images by example). Right after doing it, "Transferring files" turned into "Transferring files / Android Auto"
Changed back to "Transferring files"
Doing it the car recognized the phone immediately and could open Android Auto.
The only problem is that doing this, bluetooth connection gets unavailable (what makes no sense to me).
It is not the ideal, I'd like to use both AA and Bluetooth like in the working phone, but posting here to maybe help someone else having this issue.
If I can manage to get this working 100% I'll post again.
Thank you for the answers.
Btw, the Android Version is 13 and not 12 as I commented at the end of my first post.

EasyConnect mirroring app doesn't connect to my phone

UPDATE (3-8-17) - I ran the app again today and a window popped up saying there was an update available. It downloaded, I updated (and the update actually worked this time) and now it works!
My MTCD-KD 5.1.1 head unit came with the Easyconnect app. I connect my phone to the unit via usb, the app recognizes my phone, my phone has usb debugging running and I click OK in the dialog box when it connects, my phone's screen immediately goes to Car Mode, but the app fails at "Step #2 - Install MOB interconnection service".

I read somewhere on these forums that the app needs to be updated to work with 5.1.1. I downloaded the new apk file from one of these forums and I had the vendor that sold me the head unit send me the newest version as well. Both these apk files fail immediately when I try to install them.
Am I missing something? I am still running everything stock since I just installed the head unit in my car a few days ago and I am still feeling it out before I try to customize it. Also, what the heck does MOB stand for?
Did update the HU to latest version?
If yes, did you turn on that option which allows apps to be installed from unknown source in the settings?
And lastly, there is the same setting for unknown source app installation in the factory settings as well, try turning on that too.

I knew it had to be something kind of obvious. So what exactly is the MOB Interconnection Service that fails to install? If I could get that to work I will be in business!
And yes, I installed the newest MCU version hoping that was the issue, but it didn't change anything.

No idea. Mine didn't ask. It downloaded a license and then automatically downloaded a license. It installs the package to your phone via ADB. Did you have Adb turned on? You should get a box asking you to allow the device to connect and you just say OK. It uses ADB to install the client end. There is no activation code that I know of. What kind of phone?

Had similar issue with my phone (Motorola Z Force, USB C). First off it wouldn't connect with my HU at all. Then I tried a shorter cord (3ft rather than 6ft), now it would connect and work for about 5-10 seconds before disconnecting. Then I tried a 1ft USB C cord, and it works perfectly.
Read about a similar issue with Pioneer HUs and some USB C cords not working from being too long, apparently ours do as well and my solution was to use a very short 1ft cord plugged into the female extension lead that came with the kit.
Cheers
problem solved

Hey everybody i have a problem with Easy connected in Honda connect by HRV and i have an error 0x11 its adb-ec not found not exist. Whats is this?
I experimented with this app a while ago and couldn't get it working, it would never see the phone. I eventually figured out that it had to be plugged into the bottom USB port on my unit (KGL) for it to see it. Maybe this might help someone else with connection issues.
Im running 4.4.4 i downloaded the easy connect app and installed threw the mocro sd slot. The app i keep trying looks nothing like what i keep seeing on youtube and on other forum pictures. It connected to the phone one time just enough that i could see my phones vodeos on the radio.
My wife has 7.1, app already pre-installed. 5 minutes and i had complete mirror working in both ways setup and running car launcher AG.
Every old forum post with a link to the app i download is the wrong one. Im almost to the point of upgrading to a newer head unit.

Apple CarPlay Dongle - Autoplay - Not working correctly

Hello all!
I have bought the Apple Carplay Dongle with the app called AutoPlay. (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B076D2BP4S) The App and the dongle have the newest version.
The problem is that the head unit will start completely new or the connection get lost to the device. I tried several devices (iPhone 5S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone X) - I also changed the lightning cable.
The usb from my device is working. Maybe I do something wrong?
I used a XTRONS, Android 8, Octa-Core, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM device.
Some suggestions would be great.
Just curious, what did the reseller suggest?

Have you tried using a powered USB hub? These Carplay dongles often need more than 500mA

The original adaptor appears to be made by Carlinke. They have a website of the same name - you should start there (sorry, I can't post external links yet).
I had to buy a USB splitter to get my CarPlay dongle to work reliably. A single USB port just wasn’t enough.
Now in the cold time of the year I have a problem with the dongle. The dongle is not connect over the usb to the android device. The app says that I have to connect the box. Is this normal? - After some time of driving it is working.
Now it is the problem that I have to restart my device to get the box recognized by the app. Did someone have some suggestions?

looks like you have the carlinkit dongle like mine, you may need to update firmware on box. I got the latest box firmware from alliexpress selleer ( as per time of this post )
install instuctions
1) format a USB drive as FAT32
2) place img file in root of USB
3) plug dongle into andorid unit ( do not put in USB yet )
4) open app
5) once app asks you to connect phone, plug in USB drive into dongle.
6) you will get message on app saying box updating.
7 ) finally check setting menu in APP to see box and software up to date ( you will need to be connected to WIFI for this I belive)
Thanks for your post.
Is it right that the latest version of app and dongle is from the end of december 2018?
I have the same box on a px5 android 6 and it keeps restarting/disconnecting when I use a navigation app like google maps. I tried using 2 usb ports for extra charge, different phone, cable, etc.
nothing works
Yes, for me it is the same.
I think there is also no update available since 4 months. I do not know why.

Usb conection problems - nothing helps

Hi,
i cant connect to my phone normally via usb. System windows 10 says "USB device not recognized". I know its a poplar problem and many solutions is on the internet but for me no one solution work. Only way to connect my phone is via wifi debuging via android studio. Maybe someone know that one more solution that can help me ? Is there any chance is that phone problem? I tried difrent cables, computers ... nothing. pls help
Did you install the right drivers?
Make sure you're using a usb data cable (like the original one included with the phone)
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Make sure you've set your pixel to "Data transfer on USB connection".
I'll repeat the last point again, because it's probably the solution to your problem:
Make sure to set your pixel to file transfer when you plug in the phone to the pc. Most people say that the pixel defaults to "no file transfer" or just "charging". That isn't any good for you, as you want to transfer files. Once your phone is connected to your computer, swipe down to your notification shade, and you should see a normal or silent notification that has to do with the USB connection. If you have usb debugging enabled, it will also show another notification for that. Click on the one for the usb connection. It will open a menu, here you must select "File transfer". You might have to do this every time your connect your phone. Some phones have an option to change the default setting in developer options.
Hope I helped!
If I solved your problem, please mark this post as the solution, to help out other users.
Yes i have a correct drivers and cable but windows said that its not drivers for it. After plug usb in android what it must do after connection is all blured.

Would have preffered it if the image was in english, oh well.
try selecting the option on the top and seeing if windows can get any drivers for it.
if you've got no luck, then install the drivers manually.
When i try this first option (USB stering by conected device) it says "Cannot connect"
I try instal manually but dont work. For windows this is not a mobile device.
I have a pixel 4a that took a quick swim. The USB port allows charging but not data.
It's probably not the same thing you are seeing, since it literally doesn't show up as a port to either the phone or the PC.
I wasnt have any water conection or damage. I dont know what it could be. Do you think its a port problem? Windows sees some device but wont select good driver for it. I can't do it even when i pick exactly driver for it. Its frustrating that i watched video's that says " its Simple and now lets do this or that" and of course i have biger problem with it. Like i said i have connection VIA android studio. Maybe is there any file that i can put to Pixel for better recognization ?
Try using an installer for installing its drivers, rather than manually installing signed/unsigned drivers in device manager.

I don't understand. How can i install driver other than in device manager ? I do install drivers by Android studio too. I can see that even my external mic (Blue yeti with usb c adapter) is not visible for pixel. I tried too with external memory and it works fine. is there any chance that is faulty usb port?
Please let me know what do you mean with installer. Thanks for responses.
edit. I tried also with forcing in developer options usb connects to media files transfer. dont work
A bit off that NOTHING works, could be a faulty port. Bring it to a service centre or a repair shop if a service centre isnt easily accessbile for you.

Can you rule out that it is a Windows problem with your specific Pixel 4a device by simply starting a bootable Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) from a USB flash drive and trying the connection there?
Ah ... tried to open pixel, and for no reason screen dies. Opened it gently with no breaks but now have litle flickers. I bought Nord 2. I see in auction in Poland one more person have usb problem so i guess its finally port problem (this module). Thanks for all responses and help.

Xtrons PX6 unable to connect to wi-fi hotspot

Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with Xtrons PQ89UNVIP – MTCE PX6 unit running on Android 9 and Hal9k Mod V4 with all OTA-Updates in a Golf Mk6.
Earlier, this unit occasionally had some difficulties connecting to the hotspot from any phone (tested with various devices) shortly after starting the car, especially during hot weather. Usually a reboot helped and after that it connected to my hotspot normally. I complained to Xtrons about it and got a new wi-fi antenna from them, but swapping it didn't solve my problem. Not feeling like sending the whole device back, I decided to accept it and live with it, as it was not a big problem for me because it occurred quite rarely.
However, a few days ago the issue escalated, the head unit does not want to connect to the hotspot from my phone at all. It sees the device's network, makes an attempt to connect to it, but it fails. At first glance it looks exactly the same as the problem I had before (continuous Connecting -> Saved, see the video below), except that a reboot doesn't help, the weather/temperature doesn't matter, and it connects normally to hotspots from other phones. I also tried to do it in Safe mode.
My phone is a 3-week-old OnePlus Nord 2 5G with Android 11. Until the last few days, the hotspot worked perfectly. I tried changing the name and password of the hotspot, resetted network settings completely on both devices, tried both 2,4 and 5 GHz band and various other options. Once shortly after renaming the hotspot, it was able to connect to it, but a few seconds later the connection was dropped. Other devices can normally connect to the hotspot from my phone.
Video showing the issue:
Before I restore the device to factory settings and have to install and set everything up again (which doesn't guarantee me a solution either), I would like to know if anyone has an idea what else I could do to fix this.
I would be very grateful for any willingness to help, I am desperate because this unit without internet connection loses most of its functions I used
Greetings,
Bansuj

Question [Resolved] How Does One Transfer Photos from Windows 10 to a P7P?

I can transfer from the P7P to my Windows 10 computer but cannot figure out how to do the reverse.
You can't just copy and paste when you have your phone connected to the PC?
Anyway, maybe try Nearby Share.

I admit I didn't look at the speed, but I regularly send files to my PC or vice versa from my PC to my P7P and it is almost instantaneous.
Really fast
I read the news report about Nearby Share Beta for Windows Release...
It's a beta release. I don't do betas. To me, a beta release is nothing but bugs and trouble, and being neither a cellphone nor a computer geek, I don't need the aggravation.
Also, I haven't started to figure out Blue Tooth.
It appears that I therefore won't be able to copy files to my P7P but...
somewhere along the line my P7P has a photo that I must have transferred from my PC, so I need to take a look at that.
Sounds like your cord or port isn't working correctly, try a different cord and/or port. This happened to me and I just plugged into a different port and never had a problem since.
I finally figgered out how to transfer files back and forth between my computer and the P7P. Then I wrote down the exact procedure so I won't forget.
And you're not going to share what worked, in case someone else has a similar problem?
Oops - forgot the procedure
I wanted to include images in this, but I haven't gotten that far with my P7P yet. So here is how I set my P7P up and how I transfer photos back and forth:
TRANSFERING FILES BETWEEN COMPUTER AND PIXEL 7
Configure the P7P:
Turn the phone and the computer on.
Using a 24-pin USB-C cable, connect the P7P to any USB-2 or USB-3 port on the computer. Be sure all 24 connector pins are present at each end of the cable. Not all USB-C cables have 24 wires. If the computer does not have a USB-C connector, use a USB-C to USB-2 adapter.
From the P7P Home screen, tap "Settings". A "Settings" menu should appear.
Tap "Connected devices". A "Connected devices" menu should appear.
Under "Other devices", tap "USB /file Transfer". If "USB - Charging this device" appears, you can tap that. A USB Preferences menu appears with "USB" centered on the next line.
NOTE: "USB File transfer" may appear instead of "USB - Charging this device". In that case, just tap "USB File transfer".
A "USB Preferences" menu should appear.
Under "USB controlled by" tap "This device". Under "Use USB for", tap "File transfer / Android Auto".
Now open Windows Explorer on the computer. You should see "Pixel 7" or "Pixel 7 Pro" and a cellphone icon along with the drive list. You can now transfer files using the following procedure.
Transfer the Files:
Start the computer, open Windows Explorer, connect the USB-C cable to the computer, and start the P7P. You should hear the usual "bloop-de-bloop" from the computer, and the P7P's Home screen should appear.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the blue "Pixel 7 Pro" icon. A menu should appear and you can now move/copy files back and forth.
I transfer between Windows Explorer and "Pixel 7 Pro\Internal shared storage\DCIM".
If you enable developer options you can set default usb to file transfer and skip a few steps.
