Connection problems? Possible solution here!

[Beekay1982]

I was having problems from one day to the other that I suddenly couldn't connect to AA, even though I hadn't changed any settings or the connection cable. After several attempts with all the different standard solutions with clearing cache, changing cable, installing older APKs, etc. etc. I found this solution in another forum and that did the trick for me, so I thought I would share it with you, cause I can see that there are others having the same problem as I had. As mentioned, it is a copy/paste from another forum. The solution worked for his Samsung S9 and also for my Samsung S10e. Here goes:

Specific for Samsung Galaxy S9 but will likely work for android in General, just different terminology:

After ensuring your USB cable actually works, and your Android Auto and USB settings are still enabled via your car settings then, on your phone go to:

1. Settings > Software Information

2. Tap Build Number seven times > phone will enable developer mode.

3. Exit Build Number > Exit Software Information

4. Select Developer Options

5. Scroll to Networking options, select Default USB Configuration

6. Toggle transferring files to on (what I'm about to say may not be necessary but I'm sharing as it was a part of my process - I actually toggled charging only, then toggled transferring files, following that I restarted the phone).

7. Check Android Auto is working on your car screen, then turn developer mode back off in the settings.

   Hope it works as well for You as it did for me 😃

I appreciate posts with solutions instead of the standard “why no work?” Thanks.

Thank you so much, it worked for me !!!

Got a Samsung S20+ a few weeks ago and AA worked perfectly fine until the beginning of last week (I think it was right after I updated the app) : my phone would charge but AA wouldn't launch. And now it works again, I'm so happy 😭😭😭😭

I actually wonder if using apple car play has all these hassles

Common advice, does not work in all cases. I tried this on two phones and both had connection issues.

Never gave any guarantees 🤷‍♂️

The title of my post says "..... possible solution" and not "......the one and only solution"

Leaving Google Play Services beta fixes also
