The Dude Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I prefer to tether my phone in my Jeep versus Bluetooth, I get more features, simplified used, I believe this pulls up the android symbol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litmd2 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I have a Samsung S10 and when I connect my mobile to Android Auto via Bluetooth, if someone calls or texts me on WhatsApp, I can't hear the notification sound from Android Auto. I have search on net and found this YOWhatsApp Apk modified version of WhatsApp, so I downloaded this mod app from here, but still the problem is not solved.

I get the texts now but no notifications EXCEPT when I'm playing music from Tidal then I get the "DING" Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 When my S10e gets a text, my radio in my truck beeps and tells me who it's from. I hit a button on my steering wheel and it displays and reads out the message. That's about all, though. I have a 2018 Nissan Frontier, and still have manual crank windows and door locks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I also can't get Android Auto to work in my 2020 Hyundai Elantra GT. I've also got the $12.00 Anker USB cable and after going through the set up several times, the screen in my car says that the phone is not responding. There must be a setting in my Samsung Galaxy S8 (version 9) that needs to be set but I don't know what it would be? Any help would be much appreciated. This is really frustrating.

SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Any help from the dealer?Yeah, I've been there twice and have had several people try to figure it out. The last time I was there it was determined that I had the wrong USB cable so I got the Anker cable that they suggested.Since getting the Anker cable, my phone will display that Android Auto is ready to use (which it didn't before) but when I go through the setup process my car screen says "phone is not responding".Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The first time I went there one of the sales guys was saying that something had to be changed in my settings in my phone but I can't remember what it was. I think I might be able to go there today and talk to somebody about that.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilC Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 uninstall AA and reinstall then reboot the phone. Worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yeah, my wife has the same exact phone and I've wanted to try hers. Thanks for the reminder. It's funny because my daughter and all the millennials at the dealer have been really frustrated trying to figure it out. The way they navigate around a smart phone makes my head spin.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Is the USB cable only to be used for the initial setup process? After that is it just using Bluetooth?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 So to use Android Auto the USB cable must always be connected? That was my understanding. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Wait....so when you're setting it up with the USB cable connected, I had the bluetooth turned on. Should it be off or doesn't it matter?Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
