I know your BT isn’t working. That’s why I offered you a 3rd party cheap and simple solution.
As BL said, it could be the phone BT , and your head unit BT is actually fine.
Or, what version of BT is your phone? And what version of BT is the head unit. I’m only asking as newer phones with BT 4.0 will not connect to the older BT 3.0 standard.
My old I stalled parrot system ran v3.0 and about 3 years ago, maybe the origanal moto g was first v4.0 I had, but it wouldn’t contect to my parrots over version. Check what version your head unit is running, and your phone, they may be incompatable.
So you’ll need to update one or the other, or but a compatable dongle like I suggested above.
I’ll take a punt and say your head unit is running the older v3.0. I don’t know what phone you have, but if you visit GSM arena and search the specs of your phone it will tell you what radio and version of the of BT your phone has.
Another theory, – Did your current phone ever connect to that head unit? If so, has your phone had an OS update lately, or rather a Play services update lately? As I know Bluetooth settings have not long been tweeted with via play services on the pixel. Maybe an PS update broke yours?
Ether way, find out what specs everything is running on, and you’ll be able to pinpoint the issue and offer a solid fix.
I think your confused about the product John. The device if for cars without Bluetooth. All it is is an Bluetooth receiver that plugs in to your cars/headings aux input.
I think he means of your phone doesn’t have BT its not worth it.
My car doesn’t Come with ,not without a 700£ optional extra. So I just got the above to give the car a BT connection.
All you need is an aux port for audio input, and a low voltage USB or 12v output to power it.
Here is a quick youtube video demoing/reviewing it. It’d not a full head unit replace like you asked for, but does a similar (ish) job.
The end result is you can play media and take called via your car stereo speakers.
Ive only skimmed the video. I’m out atm.
I use one of these
Anker SoundSync Drive Bluetooth car handsfree receiver, for cars with AUX input (3.5mm) compatible with iPhone, Samsung, LG, HTC and all other Bluetoo https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0177T3OEU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_ES8xm71KKZsTG
Ben Heck made one a few years back iirc.
Mostly under the hood tweaks, you should get a ‘speed bump’ smoother transitions and scrolling, and you should she better battery management.
Doze finally works excellent under 7+, my phone will now only loose a percent overnight. When ever your phone is lay still for an extended time it goes into a ‘sleep’ state, hence the term Doze they used it works well.
But overall it’s just a fixed 6.0. I’ve found over the years android finally gets good, then they make a big switch and it turns to dog mess, 2-4 (there was no 3 on phones) was bad, 5 fixed 4, then 6 was again an overhaul that looked good but was bug ridden, point updates ironed then out, 7 seems to be a mature 6.
Think my Nexus 6p is 7.1.2 my Pixel 7 .1.1 path ironed out the day one ‘quirks’, that day one 7.0 had.
All that said Richard, it’s a good update to get being a mid cycle. Wait till you get 8.0 in 12 months, it will have a bag fill of fleas attached lol.
I’m thinking of trying the 8.0 pre release on my Nexus next week.
Girl got hers a few days ago.
Richard the update will be readily larger. The monthly patches are about 30mb, this one is a whole os update, so I’d imagine about 1gb, I’m speculating, but just letting you kine it’s normal.
And it will take longer to install. Sadly my girls left fro work so can’t ask her how long. After download, I’d recon about 15mins, plus the initialisation time is about right.
Thankfully 7.0+ doesn’t make you wait for all the Apps to initialise aswell. As that historically took an age,and you couldn’t use the os while it was doing it. So you’d be tricked into thinking it was done, only to wait upto another ten mins.
March 23, 2017 at 10:47 am in reply to: Win 10 Cumulative Update KB4013429 (OS Build 14393.953) #5479I’ll have to look what I’m running in a bit.
Update. Just checked and I’m up to date. I have the one mentioned above plus a steady stream of others.
We can’t cover the whole country in bollards. Because one man, (maybe more), was a fruit cake.
From the way the press covered it yesterday, I thought we’d had a 9/11! If his intentions was to cause mass fear, the media defo made sure it worked. The coverage was watching ott.
Shouldn’t give this stuff such air time, report it and move on, show some British ‘stiff upper lip’, but that won’t fill 24/7 news channels.
There was just no point to it.
If he was a real terrorist that wanted to do harm to heads of state, why didn’t he casually walk up to the building, then stab any copper that may get in his way, instead of announcing his arrival trying to drive into the place.
Anyone that has been there would know your not diving a car into the building. So I can’t see this being a credible sophisticated terror cell work.
I don’t understand what the point was to do it there, as unless he was a total idiot he was never driving or even walking into that place. There is so many better ways and places to create mass death and injury that what he did.
Its not like he is striking fear on to Westminster, if anything it will make them feel safer to know the security barrier set up works. Not that they wouldn’t know that, I doubt you could breach them in a tank.
All seems rather pointless. Or it would if the media didn’t treat it as 9/11.
I was sad for the victims, confused about the motives, and annoyed at the media.
March 23, 2017 at 1:32 am in reply to: Win 10 Cumulative Update KB4013429 (OS Build 14393.953) #5469Do these updates install on their own if you leave your pc on 24/7 as ive not seen an update since anniversary, and that may of been as my pcs was all powered down as I was in EU at the time.
When lost alway get in the right lane of a round about, that way you can go round pick your exit and take it the second, sometimes 3rd time. Kids enjoy it to.
It’s usually “quiet time” in the car when dad’s lost.
I do find it funny when lost or reversing i’ll, and many others, will mute the audio. If the audio is that off putting shouldn’t I keep it off always lol.
I see you don’t like builders in transits Richard. You’d hate my side of the family then. It’s exactly what they ha e done for 40 years. I don’t recall fly flipping or ripping people off, though we, rather they, do alot of setting work right after gypsies have fleeced people. Sadly usually OAPs.
The large majority of van drivers are honest folk that work hard, very hard, alot for not a great deal of pay, like delivery drivers and young labours. They may not be educated jobs but they are vital for the community /country to keep turning.
I once knew a man they ran the local haven camp, he was an arse hole, if he deemed you below him, he was just ignorant and obnoxious to them. I don’t it when people see themselves better than others.
Not nice at all.
By setting it up, you know your setting yourself up for lifetime support.
I’d of told her, “I know nothing of neocore, never owned one sorry.”
It’s what I done with Windows 8 botherers
Would be funny if not so dangerous!
The school my older kids went to when they was small was at an end of a closed narrow road lined with house, I’d never live on that road.
It was a five min walk from mine, and i had neighbours that drove. Getting in and out of that road at in/out time could take an hour instead of a ten mins walk.
I could never understand their laziness. With the advent of the larger cars we have now, I’d hate to see it today.
The issue with the people that drive at 25mph everywhere is you can’t judge what you don’t expect, so they catch you off guard.
The most dangerous parts of the country are areas high with OAPs and roundabouts. No offence to any OAPs, it’s a bit of a generalisation, but I like in an oak retirement area, or coast of one, and they just don’t get roundabouts.
It’s not just OAPs my father in law, that is not quite there yet is just as bad. I don’t you older lot was taught how to use them for your tests, and the ones round mine just pick a lane and go with it.
I never assume the lamne they are in, is the one they aptly should be, do I’ll never pass one no matter how slow they are traveling. There speed is another issue completely. I especially the really old one.
We have alot of fast B roads, nothing like being stuck behind some one doing 25mph, then the snarl at you as you pass them!
Hate to be ageist, (I’m usually on an ‘ist’ man) but at 70, you should be tested each year. Thankfully if I make 70 cars will be autonomous by then.
It is on auto. But I don’t suspect that’s the issue, as the devices can see the router, and you can try to conect, but I get back ip configuration then authentication failed. It won’t give me the old, conect anyway tick box, I use to see.
I’ll have to dig the hootoo out later, I bet I can conect to that no bother, and get the conect any option.
Also when this happens I can connect to my guest network. Get no Internet (as that’s why the wobble to begin with) , and no access to my network or to the router set up page (by design), so it has to be somthing in my settings or just a bug with the current firmware.
Since this thread started my Internet had been solid, so it’s not happened since.
There is a great bit of road design on the A55 westbound coming out of Queens ferry, it’s a 70mph stretch of 3 lanes that also has an on ramp just at the point it abruptly drops to two lanes.
It’s so simple bad and ruthlessly dangerous. As the 3rd lane cars get surprised by the lane end out the blue, and have to jump to the second lane, just at the same moment as the 1st lane cars have to merge to the second lane to let cars off the on ramp, which is very long so the cars entering the 1st land are already doing 70!, so that is alot of cars all ‘darting to the center lane at peak times’.
Then about 300 yards later the 70 drops to 50, so as all the chaos is happening everyone is breaking in front just around the bend.
It is madness, also this is a new section of the road, that was all designed and built this way from scratch about 15 years ago, not something that has evolved this way. It not like there isn’t room either, so space or complexity wasn’t a limiting factor.
Cluster**+K come to mind. Such a simple bit of road but so dangerous and cause big delays!
Jayz 2 cents channel in YT is going to be an interesting 30 days. He is using the $500 Ryzen over his $1000intel for his media work for the next month to put it through its paces. He is an amd hater if you know him, it doesn’t come through on the video though, and he is impressed with his first ‘real world’ performance tests, rather than benchmark tests.
I got through every page and every option on my router the night this thread took off, and I can’t see anything that (I know of) that would make this happen.
Next time it happens it will spare me on to roll the router back.
If the router want in such a crappy position, I’d unpick the Internet and force it to happen, but its in a position that compromises my back to get to. I send the kids to turn it on off when needed. That’s the reason it’s such a pain as once Internet drops, the router just won’t let any of my devices conect to it,so I can’t remotely reboot it!
The only device I’ve not tried is the ipad, I’ll check k that out next time. If that can’t connect either, it has to be a router setting, in to stupid to spot.
Ive been looking around a few asus asuswrt forums and there is noting there that stands out, but the latest firmware does seem to have a few bugs for a few people.
