Hey all, just "upgraded" from a Note4 to the OP5.
I was mostly expecting this to happen, but still it disappointed me; the new handset doesn't connect to my Kenwood car h/u via USB. It's a Kenwood X500. I seem to have read that Android 7+ has a lot of issues with usb audio out. I stream almost all my music via google music, so something like usb audio player won't work for me (I haven't tried it).
I tried playing with the USB setting in developer options, but that didn't do anything for me. USB debugging on/off made no difference. Selecting USB mode from the notification drop down didn't change anything. Sometimes it would outright "no device", but usually it just sat there at "reading device". I get the "Open Kenwood blah blah app?" message when I plug in initially, but selecting yes doesn't launch the app, selecting cancel doesn't do anything. Manually opening the app both before and after plugging the phone in results in the same non-connection.
My last 3 phones did, obviously the Note4(TW), a S6(TW), and the Nexus 5(stock/AOSP).
On my last 2 Samsung TW phones, I'd plug in, the notification would appear. I'd ignore the first one and it would go away after 2 seconds, then a second later the same message would come back up. I could click cancel or hit the back button on the second one, and I'd be in streaming mode, or what the deck calls "hands mode". I could then play whatever music from whatever app I wanted.
I'm currently in the process of flashing a AOSP based ROM to see if it'll help, but wondering if anyone has any help on the topic. Yes yes, bluetooth this, bluetooth that.. bluetooth sounds terrible even with aptX.
Thanks for any kind of help.
