Hey guys,
Im trying to use my 32G v2 Nexus 7(wifi) to PAN connect to my iPhone I also need to make a wifi connection to a device in my car (WIFI OBDII ELM327 Adapter). Seems that while Bluetooth PAN is active wifi wont work at all, I can force a scan but when I try and connect to an AP it just disconnects.
Any ideas, custom roms, or other fixes?
I have paired and connected my N6P to my Laptop over Bluetooth. Unfortunately whenever I go out of range or turn off my Bluetooth, my connection does not reconnect after getting back into range or after having turned back BT back on. This is very annoying as I have to delete the connection on both devices and repair and reconnect to get them to talk to each other. Does anybody know why this is happening?
I have this strange issue with my G4
It's my workphone and i use it in my van with hotspot-starter app.
i get in the car, turn on ignition and my phone connects to the inbuild handsfree system.
The hotspot-starter app toggles the hotspot so my tablet wich running navigation has internet for live traffic information......
This worked flawless with my previous phone but with my G4 the tablet won't stay connected to the phones hotspot, it keeps connecting and disconnecting every minute or so. But when i toggle bluetooth off and on again everything works fine and keeps working without any problem.
It seems like if the bluetooth connection is made before the hotspot is turned on, the hotspot fails to maintain a connection....

Interesting; haven't seen this. A possible workaround is to use Bluetooth tethering vs a WiFi hotspot to deliver internet connectivity to the tablet. Works great, connects faster and has a side benefit of consuming less juice on both ends. I use a similar config due to the crappy G4P GPS receiver.
Is it possible to use 2 bt connections simultaniously?
Handsfree set and tether to the tablet?

Give it a shot. It is certainly possible to establish multiple BT connections simultaneously. I occasionally use a BT keyboard, mouse and speaker with a cheap Amazon tablet. Doesn't miss a beat.
OK..... I got bluetooth connection made between phone and tab, checked bt tether on both devices otherwise it won't connect at all....... But no internet passtrough ?

Hum, sorry to hear that. Make sure WiFi is disabled on the tab. Have to believe the fault lies with the tablet as I'm able to successfully tether several different devices (individually) to my G4P via BT. Works a treat and cuts power drain on the G4P by half meaning I don't have to keep it on charge during longer trips.
I bought an Android screen for my Mercedes that came with Zlink5 installed. My iPhone 13 automatically connects wirelessly to Carplay with no issues. The problem I'm having is with my wife's iPhone 13. When she gets in the car by herself with her phone it never connects to Carplay. If I go through the pairing again with her phone, then it connects with no issues. The problem with that is that the next time I get in the car by myself then my phone doesn't connect. I tried solving the issue with the seller but they are based in China and there's a language barrier there. The seller thinks I'm trying to connect both phones at the same time as if both phones are in the car at the same time. I've explained it 50 different ways and he still thinks I'm connecting both phones at once.
How exactly does Zlink work? Does it need a Bluetooth connection or does it connect through Wifi? Our phones won't connect until we pair the phones to the screen's BT first and then Zlink connects. If I don't pair the BT then Zlink never connects.
I purchased ac8227l android head unit which came with Zlink 5 installed which supports wireless carplay and Android Auto.
It connects just fine but the problem is with calls. As soon as Android Auto is connected, the bluetooth disconnects and the Android Auto only works through the WiFi hotspot that is created by the headunit.
Now the problem is, when I try to make a call or receive a call, the call is routed to my phone's earpiece because bluetooth is not connected.
I tried with wired Android Auto but had the same problem.
I also tried to go into bluetooth settings and manually force connect bluetooth but I get an error saying "Wireless Zlink mode now! Connect bt not permitted". I get this error even with wired connection for some reason.
My Zlink version is 5.3.5 and Android version is 11.
Hello
I have the same problem. My device is AC8257 based.
But contrary to your situation, i can re-establish the Bluetooth manually.
Another issue, the icons are very small and Google assistant does not listen to my voice.
In carplay mode, everything works fine.
