Each time I get into my car and connect my OnePlus 6 via USB, I have to change the USB connection type on the phone to MTP in order for Android Auto to connect. Once I change the setting and it connects, Android Auto runs well and stays connected until I turn off my car. Without changing the USB setting, the phone will stay in charging mode and Android Auto does not connect.
My car is a 2016 Honda Accord EX and I am using an OEM cable. The phone is rooted, developer options are enabled, and USB debugging is off. When I go into the developer options and try to change the default USB connection mode to something other than charging, the setting change doesn't seem to take.
Is there a way to automatically use MTP mode when I connect the phone to my car? Or something else I can do to get it connected without having to change a setting on my phone each time I get in my car?
I would clear data, force stop, and reinstall Android Auto. I use it every day and have no problems at all. Connects automatically.
My HTC M9 had no end of problems with AA. Would not connect half time time unless I replugged it in, and the voice-to-text function was buggy as hell. My OP6 is smooth as silk.
Thanks. I tried that and even deleted the phone from my car. It didn't work. I had to change the mode to mpt to get it to do the initial connection. Same for reconnecting. Doh!
Do you use Tasker? I wrote a task that will automatically change the setting to MTP. It requires the Tasker plugin - AutoInput as well.
I do have tasker. How do I set it up to do that? Thanks.

So I actually created two different profiles/tasks.
1) Detects when USB power is plugged and then opens developer settings and scrolls automatically to usb configuration and makes the change. This profile/task requires the plugin AutoInput.
2) Uses AutoNotification to detect when there is a notification in your tray stating that the device is being charged. Then it will use AutoInput again to click on the notification and change it to 'USB for file transfer'.
I only attached #1. Import it into to Tasker and see if that works. If not, I can add the second option.

God, it's annoying. It happens in all the modern androids. My S8+ 5T and now my OP6
My OP6 has no issues connecting to my Pioneer AVH-2330NEX. Just plug it in and AA starts right up. Bluetooth is pretty reliable as well, which is how I connect most of the time.
It usually takes a minute or 2 for my AA to come up on my screen (2017 Charger). Once it's connected, it runs super smooth. But I wish it was a little more responsive once I plug in the cable. Now I have to wait for it to come up before I can launch any app (Maps, Spotify, etc)
I"m going to see if the MTP method makes it connect "faster". If so, I'll look into building a Tasker Profile as well like @azsl1326

This is really close. I had to add one more scroll down step in the developer menu and change the mode to MIDI. It doesn't work 100% though. If the developer options menu is already open, it reopens wherever it was and sometimes the scroll down goes too far... Perhaps there is a more stable way to do this?
Attached is my modified tasker profile.

I have another profile that uses AutoNotifications to detect when there is a notification in the tray regarding USB charging. It will then use AutoInput to select this option from the notification tray and change it to 'Transfer files'. I can post that here if you are interested. It does require two paid plugins.
You could add a task to clear recents before running the AndroidAuto task - that way it should ensure that Developers Option screen is no longer active.

I replied to you in the other thread, OnePlus 6 and Android Auto
But to fix your issue, this MIGHT be the solution for you specifically. Setup an appointment with your local Honda dealer, and ask to get Technical Service Bulletin 16-059 installed.
This fixed my issue for my '16 Accord when AA wasn't working at all with my PH-1
Or you can just simply choose this option to mtp as default on USB connection. It's in developer settings.

Didn't know that..
I had the same issue with a VW Passat 2016, and the solution was to enable USB debugging, and after that everything is working ok.
Unfortunately I'm facing another issue. If I'm initiating a call with the phone connected to AA, usually by voice command, the sound is routed randomly on the headset, speaker and sometime to Bluetooth.
Every time I have to set manually from phone app in AA on the car screen to route the sound to Bluetooth, and this is annoying. . Do you experience this issue as well?
Thanks!

Whenever my device (Nexus 5, Android 6.0) connects via USB, the USB config always defaults to "charging only".
This is a big problem since whenever I'd like to listen mp3 connecting nexus 5 to my car stereo I have to manually set the mode to MTP.
The big annoyance is that whenever I turn off the car engine and then restart it the nexus 5 USB connection go back to "charging only" !!!
I already tried debugging mode:
Develop settings -> USB Configuration is set to MTP.
Any chance to set USB default as MTP?
Thanks
i want that too..its very anoying..

Sorry, this is not helping me in solving this issue.
I want this the other way around. I want it to default to Charging Only and not MTP...which it always does on my unit. This happened since the last update, before that it always defaulted to Charge Only, which was fine for me as I don't MTP often.
Annoying to me for different reasons. Point is we should be able to set a default action, and I can't for the life of me work out how to change this behaviour. In Dev Options, I can change the default behaviour, but it doesn persist or stick. As soon as I pull the USB cord, it flips back to MTP for me every time. Very annoying.
...so bumpity bump bump.
I have a MTCD head unit MX (witson) with Android 5.1, my problem is that the USB port cannot recognize my phones, A note 4 with Android 6.0 (eRobot ROM) and a Samsung GT386T no rooted with stock ROM 4.4.2. The USB port works find with a usb stick, I can play music, pictures, etc. but not my phones. Both have the USB debugging enable.
When I plug a phone it is charging but nothing happens, my note 4 after a few minutes pop a windows saying that there is a problem with the connection MTP and that I need to download samsung Sync etc.
What I want to do is to use the mirror link function.
Any of you know something about this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe i read that there is a specific app that you have to run on these to do the mirror link...easy connect, maybe? Did your HU come with an instruction booklet? I was looking through mine earlier and it went over in detail how to setup mirroring through that app.
Yes, when I tried to use EasyConnected is when I saw the problem. The app waits for my phone to be connected, It says that it must be turned on USB debugging, but it is on. Then I checked in the File manager and the USB was not enable there, like if nothing is plug it. If I plug a USB memory it works fine.
I will try today to do a factory reset.
Thank you!

You ever get this solved? My easyconnected never stays connected. WiFi and USB both are garbage.
WiFi randomly disconnects.
USB also disconnects asks me to allow USB debugging every couple of minutes. The phone never remembers the headunit, so it constantly asks me again to allow connection. Must be a crap RSA fingerprint coming from the headunit.

Nope, Still does not work for me. Same symptoms as you. I already tried with 3 differents phones, factory reset and different versions of easyconnected.
I seem to have USB connection working now with only one "allow USB Debugging?" popup, only when I first connect.
What I did was turn wifi off on the headunit. I am not sure why it worked, but I just wanted to turn everything not needed off, and see if the headunit would stop disconnecting all the time. So far so good. I can probably live with one annoying popup, instead of one every few minutes.
Of course you have to keep the screen on the phone on, and the battery in the phone will deplete faster than the headunit charges it, but still an improvement. I had a 30 minute drive today, and the USB never disconnected!

Hi,
I am not sure if this problem is related to
- Mobile Phone
- Android Auto
- Car
So my question is: Does someone already has a working Android Auto connection with a car´s radio with this phone?
If so, I will continue this in Android Auto section.
Today I upgraded build to: MHA-L29C432B138
Car/Radio: Opel Astra K (MY2017)/ Intellilink R4.0
The connection could be established. But screen of car stays black. When touching screen or saying "OK Google" it accepts voice command.
My Mate 7 works perfectly...
Best regards,
Robert
no idea... working oke on my golf 7 2015 mib2 unit..
u using original cable... i also try ith lumia 950 cable, also usb-c but random disconnecting with this cable.
P9 is also working. I guess the problem is Mate 9.
Mine works with Pioneer but doesn't work well. It Will not play anything already downloaded to the device unless you connect phone to head unit forest and actually play something through Bluetooth first and THEN connect it. All permissions are set correctly etc. And what is with having to give it permission to use the data on the phone EVERY SINGLE TIME?
US model working flawlessly with 2016 VW Golf R... I did have to reinstall audible and spotify after connecting the first time in order for them to show up in the menu, but other than that, no issues with connecting, audio skips, etc. Very happy! Samsung S7 Edge was unusable with AA.
Got the International Mate 9 Pro and AA is working perfectly fine with my Pioneer 4100nex. I'm on the latest Pioneer firmware 1.09 if that helps anyone.
Works like a charm
What settings do you guys have? Do you have usb debugging or anything like that enabled in dev settings? Every time I hook up it comes up with the dialogue box to enable data access. Whether I click enable or not it will not play anything stored on phone. I've had this confirmed by Huawei Australia. They couldn't get it going either.
I have all the correct permissions set for all apps including android auto.
Any hints?

In developer options I do have "Always prompt when connecting to USB" turned off and "Select USB Configuration" set to MTP. I don't get prompted for anything on the phone. USB Debugging is off. I don't try to play anything from USB though, just use AA, Spotify, and Audible.
Other than that, I do have an Automagic script that when car ui mode is entered, the screen gets turned on, Waze is launched, slide to unlock keyguard is dismissed, and wifi is turned off. I won't need to do most of this when Waze is AA compatible, but until then, I can't live without it. This script works about 90% of the time, still haven't finished tweaking it for 100% success. Worst case, I have to turn the phone back on, swipe down on the notification panel, then select waze from "Notification Shortcuts".

Seems this is possibly the issue. Whenever I connect usb it automatically changes the usb connection type to charge only. Won't let me change it to mtp, audio or anything else. Wonder if there is a hidden setting somewhere in emui that does this... Tried it in dev settings. Same issue. Charge only

Did you change both of those settings I mentioned? If so, when you go back into dev settings does "Select USB Configuration" still say MTP, or did it default back to Charge Only? Maybe you have to reboot after? dunno...

Open android auto, go to about, tap the Android auto title 10 times, you will see a toast saying your developer. Now from the 3 dotted menu on the right select developer options locate force logging and make sure it's enabled
Ever since the Oreo update my phone displays a modal dialog when I connect to the USB port in my Subaru for charging. The dialog suggests that the phone resources can't be accessed and that I should download a samsung app (the one you use to port data to a new phone). All I want is to charge the phone like I've been doing for the past 6 months. It's inconvenient because I have to wake up the phone and hit OK to dismiss the dialog box. Is there any way to tell the phone to just use the USB for charging only by default? I tried changing to charge phone only in the drop down notification panel but it doesn't stick for the next session. I looked through the very extensive list of settings and couldn't find anything relevant. I know that I could try to find a cable that offers charging only or perhaps connect the phone to a cigarette style charger. These are inconvenient as I already have the appropriate USB-C cable and charging port. Am I missing the setting or solution? Thank you.

I set USB to file transfer but it immediately switches to 'No data transfer' and AA crashes
As for the solutions suggested in the above threads
I tried disabling battery optimization for AA
I tried to delete working profile / parallel apps, but there was none
I tried removing data access restrictions
I tried using USB mode MIDI, and only this seems to work for now...
For whatever reason, Android Auto would not launch on the car side until I set the USB mode to MIDI on the phone. I know, this seems to make absolutely no sense, but I tried it twice to test the theory and indeed it solves the problem in my case.
I'm not even sure where the USB setting is found, but if one searches the Settings panel, it appears as "USB Preferences".
Strangely enough, when I select MIDI and Android Auto launches, the radio button selection changes automatically to "No data transfer" and cannot be changed while connected.
In any case, I found this solution to be unexpected and strange and thought it to be worth sharing. I was ready to give up!
