Has anyone seen anything recently that's halfway exciting?
I've really been impressed by the look of OttoNavi's offerings, but in my case, I have a 2013 Ford Mustang with the top level Shaker Pro stereo, but non-nav, as if I got the nav unit it would have meant I spent 4k on radio options alone.
The issue I have with the OttoNavi for example is that it runs an old OS (2.3.4) as well as old hardware (single core 1Ghz), but that's not too bad considering it would be used for nothing much past music, movies, and regular radio. Resolutions don't wow me either 1024x600. My Galaxy Note 2 does better.
The downer for me is that it doesn't work with the native Sirius/XM radio that my car has, nor does it work with Sync. I've also heard that it wouldn't work easily with my factory amp/sub at all. Also, I have the comfort package, which includes heated seats, and I see no way to maintain them w/out doctoring my own switches.
Anyone sniffing around in the same area have any insight?
Hello
My tablet has poor gps reception and I was interested in doing a mod I saw: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318892
All im wondering is which of the connectors I see that is the GPS antenna. I have a Samsung galaxy tab pro sm-t325:

As the title says, I have sent back my S10 for refund. When I pre ordered I was genuinely looking forward to the phone. My previous phone was a LG G7 which is low key a great device. I also have a Oneplus 6T.
Not gonna lie I really like the S10 size and ergonomics and on the whole it's a great phone but a few things irked me but one issue was the main deal breaker.
1/ in display fingerprint reader is not ready for prime time (firmware updates may improve it over time)
2/ contacts pictures are low res and tiny (again firmware updates may solve it but as my daughters S9 exhibits the same thing, I doubt Samsung are in a hurry to do anything)
3/ infinity display takes hella getting use to, example being ghost touches & screen distortion on the sides
However the deal breaker is Bluetooth connection to my cars infotainment system, specifically the Land Rover Discovery Sport. Basically the phone pairs with the system but almost immediately would continously unpair & pair in a loop. No matter what I do with the settings on the phone it would not keep a constant connection. The only way was to un-tick the phone connection on the cars system so that only media was connected. Whether its a problem with Samsungs implementation of Android 9 Pie causing this or the cars system I don't know.
There is an ongoing thread regarding the S9 having the same issues after the Android 9 pie update on Samsung EU forum affecting specifically the JLR group of vehicles
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...S9-Bluetooth-issues-Android-9-Pie/td-p/895531
Shame really as I could adapt & live with the 3 other things but as I spend over an hour everyday commuting in my Land Rover the Bluetooth issue is not acceptable.
My S10 pairs with my Honda bluetooth and Android Auto no issues and remains connected. Maybe a defective unit?
The S10 pairs and works faultlessly with my wife's 2014 Mini Countryman and also my daughter's VW Polo. Also I had it paired and working fine with all our Bluetooth speakers, laptops, etc so I don't think the phone is faulty.
As an aside I tried my daughter's S9 that was updated to Android Pie with my Discovery Sport and it exhibited the same issues as my S10. So there is definitely an incompatibility with Samsung's Android Pie update and the infotainment system of my Discovery. Now which one is at fault I don't know but I'm not expecting either Samsung or Land Rover to be in a hurry to rectify.
Sounds like a unique experience. Coming from an S9, I'm experiencing better Bluetooth connections, smooth experience with the fp sensor and no problem with the curved screen with a case on.

My s10 also does the same thing with my bluetooth in the car. I think my phone is faulty because my wife has the same phone and hers is fine using bluetooth in the car

That's unfortunate. As other's have stated, it may be a faulty unit. I have a 2014 Chevy Sonic and have had no issues using phone and media bluetooth with the stereo. I can definitely understand the disappointment, though, and I'd be weary of possibly getting a replacement with the same issue.
I was initially having some BlueTooth issues with having to repair the phone with my 2014 BMW after re-pairing it for the third time a few weeks ago it has been stable ever since. As far as the ghost touches I completely agree, my Note 9 was not like this and I don't want a case on the phone so I have been using the Edge Touch app from the Good Lock app and have had a decidedly better experience.
As I explained I don't think it was faulty as it connected fine to a couple of different vehicles as well as all my home bluetooth electronics. I'm leaning towards it being more an issue with my Land Rover infotainment system as my daughters Galaxy S9 on Oreo connected fine to it but after she updated to Pie it did exactly the same as my S10.
I've already spoken to Land Rover but will be not holding my breath for any update in the near future.
Why every one talks about cars ? How bigger how better ? Lol
Your cars have nothing too do with your bluetooth hubs :laugh:
But I don't have any problems with my car radio it's a Sony
I'd hold on a bit
Since the latest update I've been having problems with both finger print and Bluetooth connection in my car, and it seems Samsung have pulled this update from any further roll out , do there is clearly a problem
I'd wait for an update from Samsung

I've already sent it back, but I have kept all the cases I bought for it just in case I decide to buy another one at a later date.
Sounds kind of like whiny things to complain about but if you didn't like the phone that was probably your best bet

Same. Since the note 8, all samsung phones (and I have tried them all) have a horrible time with the bluetooth connection on all 3 vehicles in my household (13 BMW X3, 14 Caddy ATS, 14 Chrystler 200) hey google does not work after it registers the first time making hands free driving impossible and the constant disconnects after you use it or just make a call are a joke. Pair that with a camera that is not even close to the pixel 3 and this hot piece of garbage is gone. Boy the hardware is spot on for size and ergonomics, but it just dosen't work.
2016 Jaguar XF. Same exact issue with bluetooth connecting and disconnecting every 10 seconds or so. I plan on messing around in developer settings but not holding my breath for a fix through an update from JLR or Samsung.
found a fix for this
I have a Android head unit in my Car on Android Oreo. I keep having issues with the Bluetooth connection from my S10 in which it disconnects and reconnects over and over every 30 seconds. Here are results and a work around I found.
Galaxy S4 connection to Head Unit
First pair: Works fine
Future auto connects: Works fine
Galaxy S9 connection to Head Unit
First pair: Works fine
Future auto connects: Works fine
Galaxy S10 to Head Unit
First pair: Works fine
Future auto connects: disconnects and reconnects over and over every 30 seconds
Galaxy S10 to Head Unit paired using 3rd party app called Force Pair
First pair: Works fine
Future auto connects: Works fine
I tried everything to get this working since my S10 arrived.
S10 is on the latest update
Updated my Car Head Unit to the latest Firmware and Software.
Played with the developer bluetooth settings on the S10.
Tested pairing from the head unit and the phone separately.
Tried factory reset on both phone and head unit.
Tried forgetting all network settings on S10.
Tried disabling media and ringtone volume sync
Disabled Sleeping Apps, adaptive battery etc
Set All apps to not optimised
Tried unlocking the screen.
NON of the above worked. Only using this 3rd Party app Force Pair works, which has to suggest its a bug in the Bluetooth Connection Pairing. I dont even seem to need to keep this app running on my S10, just paired with it and the problem is gone. Samsung support just keeps telling me to take my phone to a repair centre but its not broke, all other bluetooth devices work fine.
If your experiencing any issues like this, its possible this workaround will work for you also
is it one of those "off road" vehicles that people never drive off road? lol
best of swapping your vehicle :highfive:
all seriousness however, I'm finding that I'm getting inconsistent connection to my Bluetooth headphones. they just randomly seem to cut out whilst listening to tunes and when I go to replay the tune from where it last stopped, its right at the beginning again.

Hello
I have a similar issue as my new SM-G973F cannot connect to a Jabra Elite 25e neck ear plugs or to a Wonderboom speaker (Logitech). My former S8+ connected without problem.
I've tried kdowney's solution to no avail.
It's also a pain for me since I spent almost 2 hours a day commuting to work.
[Edit] It took re setting the hear plugs (+ & multi function for 5") and it works now
Hello everybody!
My friend just bought Amazfit Verge, looks decent, overall good quality / price ratio.
I was looking some review where the hand was used to cover the display to turn it off. Is it possible? It is not working and can not find anything in settings?
Second problem is connection with Iphone 6s. It is very unstable, watch is loosing connection and does not sync with phone often even both Bluetooth connections (one for the phone function and one for the sync I suppose?) are connected.
Anyone with the same problem?
Anyone know if the new S23 update fixes Android Auto?
I've used it since day one on android auto using aawireless and same with zfold3 for nearly a year and never had any problems and still not having issues on s23u
Yea there's a lot of people with the s23 ultra not able to use Android Auto
I have not had any issues using the Motorola MA1 for AA wireless. It seems to connect a little more slowly than my S20+ did, but it always connects.
What are the issues that people are having?
Idk what AA wireless is. I'm referring to Android Auto when you connect your phone to the vehicle via USB

Some cars have hardware that allows for native wireless Android Auto connections. If you don't have a car like that you can buy a dongle like the one I mentioned which plugs into your car's USB port and then allows for wireless AA.
What are the issues that people are having with wired AA?
I'm using it since day one on a company car (Ford Focus)
Works only wired but perfectly good with no issues
Have no issue with AA wired. Car is Renault Captur 2021
No problems here on my VW Polo 2018 with wired AA, I was worried when getting the new phone because the S21 Ultra had problems at first but thankfully all good this time, hope you can explain your issues here and get some help to fix them soon.
It's a car issue not a phone issue. Buy a new car if you are having issues?
I have the JVC KW-Z1000W for 2 years and I have never had a issue with Android auto and I still don`t have issue with the s23 ultra, also I use wireless android auto, I never plus it in.
Confirmed working on SYNC3 wired and with AA Wireless dongle. Car is parked for the winter but curiosity got the better of me. Went in the garage and set up my phone to confirm. Lo and behold AA Coolwalk is working too!
