I use a bluetooth mouse while I am at work to control my phone and it has worked great on my galaxy nexus for the past year. This past friday, I got my VZW Dev edition Moto X, updated to 4.4, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. Today, when arriving back at work, I paired my phone with the mouse and everything was working great.
I use tasker to automatically turn on bluetooth whenever I plug my phone in at work so it will connect to my mouse. After my break I came back to my desk and plugged my phone back in and the mouse didnt connect. With my Gnex, my mouse would reconnect automatically with no problems. Unfortunately, that is not the case with my moto x. I am not sure if it is 4.4 or the moto x that is the problem. The only way to reconnect to the mouse is to go into the bluetooth settings and manually click the paired mouse to connect to it. Sometimes not even this would work and I would have to unpair and repair to reconnect.
Has anyone else experienced something similar to this? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Bump...anyone?
Hey all,
My home internet is crazy slow. I average 1.2 - 1.5 megs down, and that's when everyone is asleep in town! We don't have any other choices, so I wanted to see if I could bridge my X's wifi to my home router. So it would look like this:
Hotspot -> Client Bridge -> Home Network -> Wi-Fi and hardwired devices
I bought a cheap TP-Link WR702N off of Amazon because it said it could operate as a bridge or a client. So I figured I could set the 702N up as a client, have it connect to my X via wi-fi, and then connect the 702N to my home router (Netgear WNDR4500), via the WAN port. Should work in theory, but I can't get my 702N to connect to my X no matter what I try.
I can use my phone's hotspot on my computer, tablet, chromecasts, and so on, but the 702N doesn't work with it. I can get the 702N to act as a client off my WNDR4500, but that's going backwards from what I want to do!
Is there something I'm missing on the X? I've also tried my wife's GS4, and it is also a no-go. I've tried disabling any sort of security on the X, trying 2.4ghz band only, 5ghz band only, restarting, using it as a bridge instead of a client, etc... no dice.
Any suggestions? Suggestions about different hardware that works would also be appreciated!
Thanks, and have a good day!
Hey all,
I just bought an Asus RT-AC66u because it says that you can use your phone's USB tethering as the WAN. I'm having trouble connecting the phone to the router.
I have the phone, a 2013 X, 4.4.4, on Verizon, connected to the router. It shows up as USB modem on the main page on the router settings, but I can't get an internet connection between the two. On the USB WAN settings page I don't know what to put as the settings. I've left it as default, #777... I've tried putting in a username/password as ###@vzw4g.com, vzw... I've tried putting in APN services as vzwinternet... nothing works!
Could anyone spare a few moments and help me? I'd be much obliged!
Edit: I should mention that if I plug my phone directly into my computer it works just fine.
Hello,
I kindly request your support for this issue. I can not connect my Moto Z (XT-1650-03, Type: M1B90) Android Auto to my VW Golf 2016.
- Stock Android 7.0, all related apps including the Play Services up to date.
- Recently updated to 7.0, but same behavior as 6.0.1 (factory version)
I read that this could be a cable issue but I already tried 4 cables without success (including stock cable).
Problem: Android Auto is not connected with my Moto Z phone.
Question:
Am I missing something?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behaviors:
- The phone is always charging while the cable is connected to the car.
- When the cable is connected, the car and the phone attempt to connect but the connection is broken afterwards. The car displays that the connection is on going and the phone prompts to me the connection type, after some seconds the connection is "broken" before it was finished
- Sometimes after several tries I can see my phone listed in the car for less than a second and then the connection is "broken".
- The default connection for USB is set for MTP in my Moto Z, but, the charging mode is always triggered first when connected.
- I can only see in my car "Reading USB device" which keep flashing.
- In my phone I can see an upcoming notification about this connection and then it disappears. This notification flashes every ~5 seconds.
- I can connect my phone with the PC and connect it as MTP to copying files and the connection is never lost (using the same cables).
Cables:
All cables were Male USB Type A to Male USB Type C.
1. Moto Z Stock Cable:
The connection is started but never finished, the phone and the car keep trying to connect while the cable is connected.
2. Belkin USB-IF Certified 2.0: Same as the Moto Z stock cable. Bought from amazon:
3. Generic 'White' Cable: No connection at all.
4. Generic 'Black' Cable:
Similar to Moto Z stock and Belkin cable, the only difference is that this cable sometimes the connection was finished and the Moto Z was listed in the car phone list for a brief moment (~1 second).
All the cables are 3 Feet lenght but the Belkin which was 6 Feet lenght.
Additional Information:
I purchased the Moto Z one week ago, before this phone I had a Moto X 2nd (XT-1097) which was working correctly with my car. I tried several micro USB cables for the Moto X without any problem (stock and other brands).
Using the same car and my Moto X 2nd I tried two android versions:
- Stock Lollipop 5.x, worked OK but the contact pictures were not synced.
- Custom CM14.1 Nougat 7.1, worked OK (contact pictures synced correctly).
Have you got Bluetooth connected before you start?
Have you got app connect on the head unit?
Mtp is a red herring in my experience.
Sony z5, 2016 golf with nav pro and app connect working well.

I have a Skoda Octavia VRs with same head unit and it works flawlessly with a HTC 10 (personal) but is always problematic with my work Moto G Play. Both are running versions of Marshmallow.
Sometimes the Moto G will stop working mid way through a navigation session which seems to be a result of the head unit "losing" the Moto G.
I have got it to work by uninstalling the AA app on the Moto G and reinstalling then ensuring i follow ALL on screen requests on the Moto G (both AA and system requests) before it works. However i have little confidence in it working..........
I have a Skode Superb with the same head unit. One of the problems most people have is with the clock of the headunit. You have to set the time to "Automatic (GPS)" or something alike. My headunit is in dutch so unfortunately I can't tell you what the exact words are. This might solve your problem.
Hi, I had the same issue on Polo 2016.
In my case, the issue was the connecting mode on the Android phone.
If you have in notification area the shortcut to change the USB connecting mode while cable connected, try to change it to MTP or other (mine worked with MIDI).
If you don't have it, just enable the Developer mode (tap 5 times on Compilation Number on Settings App > About).
Then on Settings app under developer options, check on network section the USB mode; switch there to more appropriate mode.
Hope to have helped.
Hello,
Thanks for your support and sorry for the delay, I was pretty busy. I already tried everything that you suggested without luck:
@goRt: Yes my car has App Connect, in fact the android auto works fine with my Moto X CM 14.1. I tried with bluetooth on and off.
@freenfast: I uninstalled the android auto app, even I performed a factory reset for my Moto Z and for the car, afterwards I only installed the android auto and it didn't worked.
@ljo13: I could not find that option in my car, I searched in all the menues without luck. In date & time menu I only found the summer time option and time and date formats.
My car do not have an in built navy, so, it is possible we have a different HU. My phone is set to get the cell network time zone.
@bluryfusion: In the past I only tried with MTP, but, unfortunately it didn't worked. If I select as default other connections, then, the car displayed "USB device not supported" and then the connection is automatically changed to MTP again. I tried with: Charging, PTP, RNDIS, Audio Source and MIDI.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The android auto connection is only possible with MTP with my phone and car, but, the problem is that the connection is broken every single time. Sometimes my device is recognized by the car for a brief moment (~1 second) and then the connection is broken and it tries to connect again; so, what I see in my phone and car is an 'inifnite' loop of Trying to connect -> Connection broken -> Trying to connect.
Note: I also get a new Belkin USB 3.1 type A to Type C cable and it's the same issue.
Hello,
A little update, I found that in the notification access I had two Android Auto entries:
1. Android Auto
2. Android Auto (Car Mode)
When you install the AA into your phone, you are prompted to activate the first one only, meaning that the Car Mode remains inactive.
Anyhow, I activate both entries and still the same behavior
To find this, open Settings > Apps > click cogwheel > Special Access > Notification access
Sorry to resurrect an old thread here guys, but I think I have found the solution to this problem...
I was having the same issue with my Ford Sync 3, would work with my old Moto x play but would just disconnect when trying to load android auto with my new Moto z play
After playing about with both phones, I noticed on my Moto x that when connected I would get a Google play services notification saying that my car was now connected, which wasn't happening g on my Moto z
Checking the Google play services version number I noticed that my Moto x (which is on lineage 14.1) is running a later version then my Moto z (which is on stock 7.0 ROM). A quick Google gave me a link for the latest version of Google play apps apk, after installing android auto now boots up fine on my Moto z!!!
Hello, all, I looked on various forums and it looks like the Stock firmware of this the phone I have (see specs in the title) has issues with USB devices plugged to the phone. I have a USB-C FLIR ONE camera that is normally compatible with the X4. It however does not get recognized when plugged into the charging USB port of the phone. The camera is working (brand new) on my wife's phone (Alcatel IDOL 5S). I tried USB debugging and USB by default checked for file transfer with no luck. Most of the menu in the USB preference is grayed. The phone does USB connect fine to my PC and I can exchange files fine .
I desperately hard reset the phone and even with a fresh stock, it still is not working with my FLIR ONE camera. I then unlocked the bootloader and tried OREO 8 to find out that the camera would work, but then I have no wifi and no cell service. I tried loading Havoc OS and I did not have cell or wifi either.
Do you guys have a solution? My phone is now rooted and I run the stock Payton firmware. Still is no go for my camera but at least I have cell and wifi, but lost a lot of time in the making. If there is rom that would work on my phone and that has no issues with USB, then I take it. I heard that LineageOS 16.0 should work on my phone?
Thanks for helping. This is a really frustrating situation but I have seen on other forums that I am not alone.
Cheers to all.
Hydro.
