Mirrorlink is greyed out - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello,
I want to use Mirrorlink on my stock S7 Edge with a 2018 vw polo, but when I go to my settings > connections > more connections > mirrorlink, the option "connect to car with USB" is greyed out..
I cannot figure out why this is greyed out or maybe change a setting to enable this.
I see 2 mirrorlink apps on the mirrorlink settings page:
CarmodeStub and Car mode.
Developer settings are on.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try connecting phone to car usb first, maybe?

When connected to the car via usb this setting is still disabled.

Do you use any package Disabler?

No, just a stock s7 edge without any package disabler.
Or is this setting banned in the netherlands?
Because Android auto is also not allowed and not findable for me in the play store.

That could be definitely a reason. And very stupid as well. Why?

We are not allowed to use our smartphone while driving, which makes totally sense.
If i install a custom rom, would this setting be enabled?

That would void your warranty.
I would try installing oryginal software from other country, where it is not banned. I have BTU and I used to use at some point.
Plus, it does not make sense. In UK you are also not allowed using mobile whilst driving (meaning holding phone in the hands) , but that's the whole point of mirror link. To operate it using car controls.

You need another MirrorLink App. Carmode is not really a MirrorLink App.
For all Apps do this https://goo.gl/bMFjBm
If that does not work do that https://goo.gl/AyPhHN

Or try installing Android Auto.

Android auto is not available for the netherlands, cannot be found in the play store. Tried to install the apk but the latest version wont install. I installed an older version but it needed to update but that didnt work..

Why it would not install? Is there any message?
As mentioned before. The other option might be changing CSC to another country, maybe France? Germany? UK?

[Q] "The item cannot be installed in your country" - Marketplace error

i can't seem to install most apps from marketplace, eg angry birds. It prompts me that it cannot be installed in my country (Malaysia) but i was able to download it on my Galaxy S before and i can even download angry birds and other apps on my Samsung Galaxy tab without any issues. What's the issue with Iconia A500? Anyone with similar issues?

To access the market in unsupported countries you will have to set up a vpn to connect through. If you connect through an american vpn you will have full market access

Use market enabler for rooted devide. U won't have any issues
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hey everybody, major props to all the devs and everyone helping out on xda in general. So the whole "country" issue when it comes to installing apps is the same in dubai. I rooted my a500, installed tor n orbot and got them working with firefox... also installed marketenabler, not exactly sure about how its supposed to work... I long press any of the fake networks and choose the "run now" option. What's the right thing to do next? Total android noobie here and any help would be most appreciated. Thanks guys
If you can compile a small list of apps that you would like to download that are free (or not free if I happen to have them) that you would like to obtain, let me know and i'll place them in my Dropbox for download on here. Since i'll be doing this from my own account, though, try to keep the list to a minimum. So discuss the list amongst yourselves and try to narrow it to no more than 5-10 apps and i'll see what I can do!

Edit:
Something else you can try is www.4shared.com. If you search for apk files you may have pretty decent results too.
I have noticed that the Google Market on Android 3.0 is much more aggressive in enforcing the location limitation :-(
I was able to overcome the limitation and download some US-specific apps by following these steps on an rooted device:
1. run Market Enabler and choose a US carrier
2. make your tab location-blind by going to settings / location & security / uncheck all of the following: "use wireless network", "use GPS" and "use location for Google search"
3. go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Market. Click "Force stop" and click "clear data" (AFAIK, no important data will be lost, Market will retrieve the list of installed Apps automatically)
4. Activate US VPN account
5. run Market.
I now can download all types of goodies. Your mileage may vary. HTH.

actually how u get us vpn account?
am using bestfreevpn.com , it must be a us account right?
edit : can come to us market and install google earth, but still many apps i cant install
edit 2 : so now i can download all apps that befor i cant, the way is all above + make new google account using us based vpn ...
That's one heck of a generous offer and finally a solution... for some. Btw I think this is the first time this country/appmarket problem has been resolved. No other sound sources for a solution on the internet. You gentlemen r rockstars.
Which makes the persistence of my problem all the more frustrating. How would u suggest I use a U.S. vpn? I tried bestfreevpn since it obviously worked for the last post-er. Nothing happened, app market wouldn't stop 'loading' and internet browsing also stopped working (the telecom big brother in dubai is hitler on steroids, I'm sure they've got every thing to do with this and every other global tragedy). Anything I can do with orbot, tornetwork? Coz I tried accessing the app market thru firefox and it thought my IP was based in germany. I've also created a U.S. based gmail account but that didn't make any diff either.
Again, sorry for the noobieness and thanks.

[Solved] Mock locations - fake gps not working

Hey all,
Just got a 6p and have run into an issue. I need the ability to set a fake location but I can't seem to get it to stick on the 6p.
I have tried a few different apps and even ran the expert mode via root with the " Fake GPS" app by MegApps. The location settings are set to device only with both WiFi and Bluetooth scanning options turned off. Yet no matter what I seem to do, the phone still picks up its native gps signal canceling out my mock location.
Anyone know a fix or have any suggestion? Any insight would be appreciated
Running stock with root and tried android N
Edit: After trying numerous apps I finally found one that worked properly. Not sure what's different about it but "Location Cheater" in the play store works
Hey I saw three apps with "Location Cheater" as a name in the play store. Which one worked?

[Solved] How can I enable Wifi Assistant on Nougat?

Anyone get WiFi Assistant working on Nougat? most articles have the instructions below but I cannot find the networking option. Anyone have success with this?
If your phone is ready for WiFi Assistant, you should see the option in Settings>Google>Networking. You may also find it in Settings>WiFi>Gear icon (top right). From within there, you will see a toggle for “Use open Wi-Fi automatically.”
I’m not currently seeing it live on my Nexus devices, but you may. Be sure to head into Google Play and update to the latest version of Google Connectivity Services. You may also need an update to Play Services as well or maybe you just need to remain patient.
----------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION
Ok, I found the settings it wasn't under anything called networking though. had to go to advanced in the wifi options and use open Wifi automatically aka the wifi assistant feature -__- I love great instructions
who would've thought. and you have to actually click that option to see what it does.
It's in Settings --> Google --> Networking if thats what your referring to. Seems to work decently.

For me it's in the Settings>Google>Networking. Also if you have WiFi Assist, it will be called WiFi assist. It will actually prompt you about connecting to open networks and optimizing and securing them.
Anyone know why Nougat 7.1.1 wifi advanced setting set wifi region code is mising right now and mashmallow 6.0.1 has an option?
What about when the whole option is missing? Just noticed recently the always on vpn is greyed out and where wifi assistant *used to be* it now is not. I even reverted google connectivity services back to factory (uninstalled updates), nothing, updated it, still nothing.

Joying UL135N2 settings?

Hi. I recently purchased a Joying Android Head Unit JY-UL135N2. I have been watching alot of YouTube videos about setting up the device and I noticed that I have none of the settings that I see on the videos like "Driving Settings" and "Factory Settings". All I have is normal android settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there more settings that im not aware of? I did see a Icon that says "Car Media Settings" but the options in their are not the ones im looking for. Im trying to turn off the head unit guidelines for the backup camera because my camera that I purchased already has guidelines so Im seeing two sets of lines when it is active.
Thanks
My unit arrives on Thursday I'll let you know by then but a lot of those videos are of the older 5.1 units so it may be different or maybe try asking in the joying forums
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
In "carmediasettings", there is third tab look like settings icon.
Passwords "3368"
there is option for remove backup camera guideline.
Developer options in the main system settings menu also has the password 3368.

Viper is not quite worth the headache. Look into upgrading the audio chip in the unit itself

TS18

Could definitely use some help here. Diving back into the android head unit game after having an AN-21U long ago. Just got a kufine ts18 unit. Thinking of returning it. I can't get Netflix or other streaming services to play because of the play protect issue, I assume. Netflix not compatible. Disney plus error 39. Anyways, I'd like to keep it, but I need to figure out if it can be rooted. Notice some options for ts10, but no specific ts18 options. Help?
The main difference between TS10 and TS18 is the CPU, in addition to the difference in the main frequency and the production process is different, TS18 is a very good entry device, of course, more mature and stable is TS10. Recently TOPWAY will also launch the new TS6 platform, there is updated news I will release a new post in XDA public, TOPWAY platform can be used normally! NETFLIX, DISNEY and other APPs

I was having some wifi issues, so I did a factory reset.
But after the reset, the zlink app is missing... so I don't have CarPlay now...

Hi iskenderr. Were you able to install again zlink? I am stuck in the activation code. I've instaled several versions but is always the same. There is any other app or solution to connect your phone wireless?
TLink 1.8.6 comes installed even though I did a factory reset. I guess it registers automatically because only wifi is active.
Finally, I've contacted the seller and they send me a .zip with all the preinstalled apps. I've copied them in an external memory usb and directly install the apps, in my junsun ts18, include tlink5. Everything working like the first day. Excelent service by the seller, Junsun France.

Is anybody else having issues with navigation apps? If used normally all is ok with sound, but whenever any navigation app is set as the main navigation app it loses all sound
Its an Eonon Q03pro TS18 2.2 windowed mode latest firmware and latest mcu. These units use ilauncher themes and the windowed themes allow you to set whichever navigation app is the main one in a window on the launcher which is a great feature
I have tried Google maps, waze, tomtom go, sygic and igo all sounds and voice guidance works but only if not set as main navigation app.
Just wondered if anyone knows how to be able to set it as main system navigation but not lose sound as its pretty useless without sound

Fixed....well seems to be, found a thread on a similar problem on TS10 units so was worth a try i thought and it works....
The Solution in case it helps others
Go to Android settings -> Apps and notifications -> Advanced -> Apps with special permissions -> Access to notifications -> Uncheck "Google" option.
For some reason that service has broken notification chanel in Android sound output

Did you get your sound working? I too have a TS18, mine is AINAVI brand which I just finished installing. So far I've been using stock apps, and the TLink for CarPlay music and nav (Waze) using an iPhone. So far, I'm impressed, though would like to update nav and music for offline use. Perhaps you can share which Android apps you found worked best. I've installed VLC for playing video and found it to work much better than what came stock. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Yes I disabled Google services I think it was, I'm using sygic for nav, amazon music, the stock music player is ok apart from no search function, musicolet is good so is poweramp but unfortunately cant be displayed on music widget on homescreen but can always use another launcher like agama or car launcher pro
