It's the cable. I had the hardest time with Android Auto until I got the right cable. I've used 6 different Android phones without issue using that cable.

This cable works (temp out of stock in black but available in white).

I have a 20176 Hyundai Sonata and PH-1. Tried using the AmazonBasics cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYR2O/) and still doens't work. I've also tried this Anker cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNAAEJ2/) and it also doesn't work!

I looked at some of the amazon basic cables. They seem okay, I guess. They are decently priced so I may go for them as I need multiple. I need one for my car so I can use my phone for android auto, one for my PC and a third as a backup in case I lose/break one.

Edit: I have gone ahead and ordered 3 of the Amazon basic cables here. The reviews seem really good and at a good price. 3 of these cost around the same as a single cable in local stores around me. Thanks for the help.

u/Ajedi32 · 2 pointsr/OculusLink

FYI, I don't think it makes sense to say that a passive extension cable "Works" without saying which other cable you used it with. I submitted the entry for the "Cable Matters USB to USB Extension Cable", and it worked for me with the 3ft adapter cable I used (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYR2O/) but that doesn't mean it'd work for someone else hooking it up to a 10ft adapter cable, for example.

Probably less of an issue for the active extension cables, since those usually act as a powered hub at the endpoint where the A-to-C cable connects, but for the passive extension cables it's a very important consideration.

u/Rayn322 · 2 pointsr/OculusQuest

I have this cable and it works fine for sideloading and stuff. It's a little short though.

For anyone who might be in the same boat I purchased this dock which came with a USB C to C cable:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01FKTZLBS/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And then I purchased this USB A to C cable to connect my Lenovo to the dock:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01GGKYR2O/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This setup works perfectly for both my thinkpad and my chromebook.

u/eNonsense · 2 pointsr/AndroidAuto

In doing more research and making threads in VW specific forums, I've picked up this cable to try to see if it solves the issue. So often with AA, problems are caused by the cable you're using. This one is the most recent and advanced spec "USB 3.1 Gen 2" which is 10gb/s where Gen 1 was 5gb/s. I'm hoping this does it, since one symptom I did see was slowness. I've got a bit of a road trip this weekend, so I'll see if it works out.

I also read someone say that if your AA freezes up like that again, instead of turning off your car to do a full reboot, you can hold down the power button/volume knob until the infotainment system does a hard shutdown/reboot. Haven't needed to try that yet. I don't really drive during the week.

u/freshcoast · 2 pointsr/MotoX4

I have had good luck so far with the AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters). At the same time I updated to the April 1st 2019 security update. Since both of those Auto has been rock solid. Before that I'd get several disconnects to the point of getting a similar USB device error, even on short drives.

I still have to unlock the phone to get Auto started, unlike all the other phones in my household that connect automatically even when locked.

My HU is a Sony XAV-AX100.

You're looking for an USB3 type C (the symmetrical, rounded connector) to type A (the old rectangular connector with blue on the inside).

u/aschwartzmann · 2 pointsr/ElgatoGaming

I've had mixed results using other cables than what came with the HD60s some worked others didn't. I think the ones that come with some devices to be used to charge them aren't compatible because they cheeped out and made a cable to could handle the power but not the data. This should work though since it says it's USB 3.1 not just 3.0 https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Type-C-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B01GGKYR2O

I strongly suspect the bootloop is related to overheating. I only charge my 5X using older "slow" chargers for this reason. I also try to avoid "flexing" the phone. So don't put it in your back pocket or a tight front pocket. Going on 5 months so far and no bootloop yet.

This is the cable that I'm using with my older "slow" chargers...

u/elmerohueso · 1 pointr/AndroidAuto

My wife and I both have the Moto X4 and have never had any AA issues related to the phone itself. I have a Pioneer AVH-2300NEX head unit in my car, and have used my phone with factory AA units in several rental cars.

The only consistent issue I had for a while was AA thinking my phone was disconnected every time I went over a speed bump or sometimes even touched the cable. I tried several cables and all had some level of that issue, until I got this AmazonBasics cable. I haven't had any connection issue for months since I got that. I have that cable connecting through my cigarette lighter USB connection, and heated the USB cable with a hair dryer and wrapped it around a pencil to curl it and make it shorter. Works like a dream.

The only AA issue specific to the phone itself (Moto X4) that I know of is with LineageOS 16, which has a known bug that keeps AA from launching (several phones have the same issue with Lineage). As long as you're on the stock ROM, or at least a ROM built on stock, you should be fine.

u/Takeabyte · 1 pointr/mac

So... your old MacBook with TB2... It's got USB 3.0 ports on it too right? Try a cable like this one...

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Type-C-Adapter-Charger-Cable/dp/B01GGKYR2O1915

So it would only go 5 Gbps, but that's better than nothing and you still have a drive that will work with TB3 when you eventually need to rely on that port.

u/BillGatesfan · 1 pointr/AndroidAuto

I'm not going to say one brand/type of cable is the best. Because there is no perfect cable, each type/brand of cable has their downsides for everyone.

Here's my history with it. Originally we had tried to save some money and bought some cheap braided USB C cables. Pretty soon the braiding wore out and the cable would random disconnect. This for all of our phones, Samsung S8 (dad), Pixel 3 XL (mom), and Pixel 4 (me). We then tried some "AmazonBasics" USB type C 2.0 cables, and they've working perfect for almost a whole year, compared to the other cheap cables we had, where we through 2 in the short span of a few months.

With my original Pixel Xl that I had before my 4, I have tried the official Google cable, and while they are expensive, here's what I have to say about them.

It's not worth it. First complaint is that the material wrap around the cable begins to darken as dirt begins to collect around it. Nothing a isopropyl alcohol wipe can't do, but over time it really gets stuck on there, and the cable begins to darken. Mine haven't darken'd too terribly, but there is some noticeable darkening. Second complaint, is the cable material bulging. If you leave the cable bent in a certain position long enough, then unbend it, a small bulge is left from the outside corner of that part of the cable being bent. It does not affect the cables performance, just a minor aesthetic thing. Aside from those issues, these cables look great. They function at the full USB 3 speeds they say it can, and its a perfect middle length for me, and works great across anything USB C, including my USB SSD, an elgato HD60S HDMI capture card, and a few other peripherals.

Like user DM725 said in a lower post,

>It needs to be a high speed cable with decent transfer speeds. This cable is 10gbps and has worked with every Android phone I've tested it on without issue. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKYR2O/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_KthYDbGJFT82X

I use the USB 2.0 version of that cable, and like I said, it works great.

I have two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports in USB-A form. Can I connect this USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 to USB-C cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-Type-C-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B01GGKYR2O, then my USB-C to HDMI adapter to get a 3440 x 1440 display resolution?

> I'm gonna add a discrete GPU to my Ryzen 5 2400G build. Don't worry, I'm gonna upgrade that too. Price wise, the 2060 is in my price range, but I've found used 1070 Tis' for around that same or a bit lower. I've seen head to head comparisons but none of them seem to say ones out right the better value. The 1070 has more VRAM, but is that such a big deal if I don't plan on gaming in 4K anytime soon? Getting a NEW GPU over one that's been used for god knows what for god knows how long always sounds better, but a lot of people do lean more towards 1070 Tis'.

Yes and I was saying I think the armrest being closed basically immobilized it.

I also posted on the Mazda6 Skyactiv FB group and somebody suggested I might not have the right cable. Suggested this one:

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Type-C-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B01GGKYR2O/?fbclid=IwAR0sN7IlpGNOTcc-kPquZn5T71CbYxFBP60xG5I1WHfIWeeFTzxytYFfrdk

So I purchased that. Will update when it arrives on Sunday.

u/neilmahal42 · 1 pointr/leaf

I've been working on this problem for a while... you are right, its not the phone or the USB port. I think it is related to the data transfer rate of the cable. I tried Anker's cable. It helped but still crashed.

​

I had some better luck after I bought this cable which is USB 3.1 (keep in mind that usb data rates are backward compatible) - I still get crashed but much less frequently:

Other people had similar issues with similar Chinese M.2 NvMe enclosures according to Amazon Japan reviews here which was mentioned in this video and this video.

As shown in the second video, use this cable and it should work. Hope this helps.
