So today I installed my new Eonon GA2185. I was hoping it would be able to tether my phone's internet on bluetooth automatically, without ever having to manually activate bluetooth or hotspot or something like that. It's a mythical function. Some say it's impossible, you'll always have to click at least one button to connect your head unit to the interwebs, some say it's a built in function.
When turning on the radio for the first time and connecting it to my phone's bluetooth I was so desperately hoping it would also borrow its internet, and apparantly it did! There was no wifi network, just bluetooth and I managed to visit some webpages and perform a speedtest (< 1Mb/s, but hey it was something!).
Unfortunately, after customising the unit with all my preferences, apps, accounts and appearances, I lost the bluetooth tethering. It simply stopped working. It only works on wifi now. Anyone know how to get it back or enable it in the first place? I've already reset it to factory settings but that didn't do it.
This unit works on bluetooth 4.0. Does the difference between 4 and 5 matter a lot in this aspect?

Ive got the same problem, I have the same unit as you.
I had it working when I first installed the unit, it just came on automatically when I entered the car. But since a firmware upgrade I cant get it to connect anymore! It was great for Spotify and maps.
If you manage to find a way let me know!
I believe I factory reseted everything again after updating. Then I tried connecting bluetooth first and then WiFi. For some reason that worked (after I rebooted the device, it would turn on wifi but my phone's wasn't broadcasting, and then it automatically switched to bluetooth).
I also noticed that whenever the unit was powered on, an extra setting in my iPhone appeared called 'Ethernet', which apparanly means that it's tethering through bluetooth. Not sure if Android has a similar way of showing.

hi
Im running the stock JK6 and rooted.
when Im running e.g. the liveview app my phone keeps some kind of freezing after a few minutes, first I tought it is app related but now I revieved my OBD2 scanner for my car and its just the same with the app "torque".
is this a hardware related problem or something wrong with this ROM.
did a HR several times and reflashed the ROM.
Edit: I noticed when bluetooth recieve or send data I cant get any other wireless date like on wifi or on radio.
please help
Seems to be a one time event with the data problem but the main thing keeps annoing me
Have you tried pulling the battery waiting 60 seconds placing the battery back in the phone and then rebooting?
Eh no cause on the galaxy tab the battery cant be removed

I don't Know, but if you have a Bluetooth PAN connection to the internet, then it should be not possible to have another connection to the internet. IP routing to the gateway would be confused if you could.
There are tools that "group" several separate internet connections into one virtual one.
no Im not using a bt PAN to connect the inet, only normal bluetooth data usage
Push
Just only me who is facing this annoing problem?
Same problem with OBD2 :s disable GPS reduc freeze loop. But not fully (30 minutes). Next time i will turn off Data conection.
Every time i've freeze now i see torque try reconnect to OBD2, seem like BT of SGT turned off or time out
I am having the same problem. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, it will hang the Tab within 30 min. All bluetooth connections are definitely gone. Turning off the bluetooth won't help. The only way is to reboot and never turn bluetooth on.
BTW, I have tried connecting LiveView or a normal bluetooth headset. Both cause the same problem.
I am on JK2.
It seems it is bluetooth driver conflicting with any other data connections.
Did a further testing. Disabled Wifi, but doing data communication via 3G network while turning bluetooth on. The tab hangs in a few minutes. Found a process called 'btld' sucking up all the CPU circle.
Any ideas what 'btld' is?
Thought this should not be a hardware problem because bluetooth works fine when all data connections are off and Wifi/3G data works fine when bluetooth is off. It must be some sort of default setting isn't correct. If this is the case, then root would be a must before manually tuning any parameters.
Found root cause. It is actually the SonyEricsson LiveView software causing troubles. After removing, everything goes well.
Checked on SonyEricsson's web site, it seems Froyo is yet to be supported.
try to use WO Webcam B-Lite out of market, you can open a bt connection by pressing activate and then while running, close via taskmanager, voila the freeze begun
I've got galaxy Tab and galaxy S, and torque badly freezes the devices almost every time I exit the application. It cannot be an hardware fault since I use lot of bluetooth devices and always 3g connected, never had issues. Just with torque, and I don't have any "sony liveview" thing.
Reading on the comments of Torque it seems that also other devices have the same freeze issue (especially a phone called "Evo 4G"). Many months ago I sent a mail to the developer explaining the bug but he bumped me away replying that the app is tested and working on GalaxyTab (and obviously it's not true, or he did some mistake in testing). Now lots of people with this Evo 4G are complaining and the developer is trying to fix. let's hope..
Ok so i got my Nexus 4 yesterday and of course BT (Motorola Elite Silver) connects and then within 3/4 seconds will disconnect and it does this continuously. I really need BT to work. I have flashed cm10.1-rc4, night-lies and other roms as well and the same problem persists. I went to three, thats right three T-Mobile stores today and tested the same BT on their phone and it worked flawlessly. One of the Nexus 4 had Android 4.2 (JOP40C) and base-band .33 while the other two had 4.2.2 and base-band .48. Wifi was ON on all these devices and i did not notice and issue with them. My BT stayed connected for over 5mins and i even turn it on/off as well as the BT toggle on the phone and every time it worked without disconnecting or exhibiting any issue. I should also mention that i have flashed base-band .33 and the problem still exists. Does anyone know where i can download a dump of the Nexus 4 for t-mobile?
Is it possible that i have a faulty hardware?
Is there a way to unload the BT stack and reload it to test?
I did discover that when i connect the phone to my computer and the "usb debugging connect" message shows up, the BT/WIFI does not disconnect and works as normal. Now if i disconnect the cable it starts acting up again. Maybe a dev here will be able to figure it out now but that is the behavior i have noticed all through out my testing.
PS: i also have a BlueAnt Q2 and it does connect and sometimes disconnects. WIFI when the BlueAnt Q2 is connected becomes really unstable and disconnects.
Are you undervolting? Any custom kernels? If not, try flashing one. Does it work fine with WiFi off?

No, i am not undervolting. I have tried CM10.1 nightlies and RC4. Even with WIFI off the problem still continues. I am trying to download google 4.2.1 and see if it still a problem.
I use a Bluetooth headset too, and from what I know, in many ROMs, Bluetooth does not work well with WiFi. If both is on, my WiFi will definitely lose connectivity, and/or my Bluetooth will lose connectivity. Either way, they just cannot coexist together.
Turning off my Wi-Fi is the only way I can get my Bluetooth to work.
I think our units are defective. I already called Google and they are sending NEW replacement out to me asap. I don't get how the t-mobile store once worked. The weird part about mine is if the phone is connected to my PC, it works fine. I just can't figure it out.
Tested another one today and it worked flawlessly.
Easyconnected works fine while it is connected. However I get this pop up on my phone every couple minutes. I can "remember" or not. It still comes up and I have to dig out the phone and give it permission.
Problem appears to be solved. I use the WiFi connect now. I still have to plug in usb to head unit and give the permission, but only once per day or so. Also have to make sure my hotspot is active on my phone. Huwaei Honor 5X
I didn't realize I could still tether via wi-fi, even after T-Mobile blocked the tethering data connection. I have a couple grandfathered T-ZOnes 5.99 plans, so I didnt want to mess with T-Mobile too much. Once they shut down the tethering data, I just thought that any tether was broken.
Easy connected is a decent app, nice to use the processing power of the phone instead of the pokey slow MTCD unit. I wish the hard keys on the HU worked with it, I get a little tired of the spot in the corner, then the house on the bottom, just to switch from app to app.
UPDATE: WiFi isn't that great either, enough disconnects to make me not use it.
So, back to rehash why this is happening with ADB over USB. It appears that the RSA key never gets saved (whitelisted)on my phone from the head unit. My phone is rooted and I can see in /data/misc/ADB_keys that nothing gets written in from the head unit. Only the key from from my notebook is in the file. If the key is not added, the phone will keep asking for the permission over and over.
Is there a way I can find the key on the headunit? That way I can manually add it to my phone, and hopefully the nagging will stop.
Last ditch would be to compile a custom ROM for my phone and set ro.adb.secure=0 eliminating the secure connection altogether.
I know this is not exactly Android head unit topic but it's closely related to using the device.
So here's what's going on. When I manually turn on wifi tethering (Hotspot) on my phone (NOA H10, 7.1.1 nougat), device (head unit) connects to it as it should, and everything works.
On the otherhand when I use tasker, or any other app to trigger wifi tethering on Bluetooth connection, the hotspot turns on but device can't connect to it. I get obtaining IP address issue, and when I set to static IP it connects for a few seconds and then drops the connection. It's really frustrating because I know it can work.
I know l can always turn the hotspot on manually when I get into the car but I want it to be automatically turned on when Bluetooth connects to my unit.
Anyone else has/had this kind of issues? Any ideas/solutions?
AFAIK most of these units don't support bluetooth tethering at all. Not really sure if any do at all.

I'm not talking about bluetooth tethering.
Ok I get it, trigger wifi on bluetooth connection with the triggering attempted on the phone side.
I have 0 experience with android phones but I know my iphone will never allow a connection (to anything) unless you open the hotspot setting manually. When I do that my units all automatically connect.

I use Macrodroid app to activate the hotspot when muy phone is conected by bluetooth, and all runs ok
I tried macrodroid. Same thing as the other apps. It turns on hotspot but can't connect to it.
So here's the SITREP, when I use connected to a bluetooth device trigger without specifying a device, the hotspot works. Only if variable, device name and/or mac address is specified the device will not connect to hotspot.
Install and use this plugin
Doesn't work. But I managed to get it work with secure settings and touch task plugins.

I'm using secure settings and touch task Tasker plugins to simulate manual hotspot toggle. When my phone connects to my headunit it triggers screen on then screen unlock to unlock the phone, then quick settings (drop down) menu and finally touch on hotspot tethering icon. Same command is executed on Bluetooth disconnected status.
This happens only recently.
I connect hu on internet through mobile hotspot, but "regular" hotspot too. Unit is connected but youtube, google play dont work.
Dont have slightless clue why?...

Try this: Go to Date & Time settings, turn off Automatic Date and Time, turn it on again.
Recently I experienced this as well out of nowhere. My HU uses Intel Sofia 3RG cpu.
Hm, i was dealing with time and date at that time, i ll try it and report with results.
Thank you.
Actually, it worked, t hank you
Today, when i was trying to fix that, i turned it off, but did not turn it on again.
