Evening all,

I recently acquired a 2016 Peugeot 208 - Much to my dismay however it only supports Apple Carplay and mirrorlink, which is not ideal for me as a Samsung S7 edge user with the advent of Android Auto as the very superior UX.

Whilst mirrorlink works for the odd app I find it all in all useless and so for now I just have my phone mounted below the head unit using the android auto UI on my phone.

Peugeot have iced the cake by telling me that they can't add Android Auto functionality to my head unit in February when they release the new 208s with it, which strikes me as ridiculous given it has a USB interface which means if it can run Apple Carplay it should be able to run Android Auto (if someone can confirm this for me just so I know I'm not being stupid that'd be great as I'm going to go and push them in the garage in February if I dont hear otherwise).

After quite some googling I have come across nothing: Does anyone have a way to completely mirror the screen of my android phone to the head unit of my car, or alternatively make it so Android Auto is miraculously supported by Mirrorlink? The wonders of rocksound appears to have been patched since it immediately recognises I'm trying to access my home screen and tells me it is not supported. For now I'm stuck either with my phone mounted or alternatively plugging an old iPhone in and tethering it, but that's not ideal given I want all my notifications etc, plus Android is just better anyway. I considered ripping out the entire head unit and putting an entire new one in but that's impractical and expensive.

If anyone has any input on this (or a link to something I've missed explaining how to fully mirror it) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Try this MirrorLink Samsung How-to
[Connected Car] blaz1ng:
Thanks - that seems to partially work, however I am finding that whenever I interact with anything within for example android auto, or when I try to launch an app, the smeg says that the application is not supported and I have to reselect LG mirrordrive to keep going (the same happens when starting voice control since presumably the launching of the google now overlay that triggers it) - okay whilst Im sitting still but a touch impractical for when Im driving. It's certainly a decent workaround for now, however if there's something I can change that will make it either so it doesnt error with every app being opened or an alternative, that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

I'm in a very similar (worse) situation as you are. I have a Nexus 6P, which doesn't even support MirrorLink... only Android Auto. And my 208 has CarPlay and MirrorLink, but no Android Auto :rolleyes:.

Is this true, that the new 2017 models have the Android Auto installed? We should see which SMEG unit and version 2017 models have installed... the 2016 model has a SMEG IV2 unit and software versions starting with 6.x.x.x (my current installed version is 6.1.D.R8).

I found a 6.3.C.R11 update on the internet, but i'm not sure if it includes the Android Auto.
[Connected Car] F_Jones1993:
I have a 2017 model and a htc one m8s. The idea behind android auto is fantastic - unfortunately, my phone keeps disconnecting and rendering the google maps redundant after 4 mins driving! I think this is probably my phone's fault, but I am interested to see that others are having trouble....

I have a 2017 rental 208, but it doesn't even launch android auto. It completely fails to detect IT. Using a Nexus 6P

Could you let us know what SMEG version you are running? Then we can try to update our older 208s to it
[Connected Car] erSchistan:
Works for me. With the right cable.

My reply comes a little late, but might help others coming here with the same problem...

I got my 2017 Peugot 208 yesterday and one of the first things, I tried, was connecting it to my phone(s). Although the manual only says, it supported Apple Carplay and Android Mirrorlink, I can confirm, that it also supports Android Auto. At first, it didn't work for me. I had to use 6 different USB cables, until I found one, it worked with.

With the first cable, it tried to connect, but before I even had a chance to press OK, the dialog disappeared. The phone showed a android auto communication error 16.

With the next four cables, nothing happend. Neither on the car display, nor on the phone. Manually opening the Android Auto app, didn't help either. It only showed it on the phone.

When I was already about to give up, I tried one last cable, that I brought to the car with me. It was a very short one (about 15 cm) from Aukey. With that cable, it worked like a charm. I could confirm the dialog on the car display and instantly saw Android Auto after that.

Later, I found this article: productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-auto/LV5HsOjkPyI/MlyOoBoPBAAJ. It seems to be a common problem and in that article, you can find a list of cables, that are supposed to work. One good idea seems to be to use the original usb cable, that came with your phone. I tried that today and it worked right away. It's a Samsung cable in my case (connected to a Galaxy S7 running SuperMan Mod). Here is a link to the cable together with a charger: amazon.de/Samsung-ETA-U90EWE-Ladeger%C3%A4t-Netzadapter-DatenKabel-Wei%C3%9F/dp/B01E9G4IHG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1514492334&sr=1-6&keywords=original+samsung+micro+usb+kabel&linkCode=ll1&tag=yammade-21&linkId=237d676f3199eb607c4e07f09e3fdafb" (Note: I linked to the one with the charger, because this one has good ratings. There are a lot of fake cables on amazon with poor ratings.)

I didn't have a lot of luck with cables from Aukey amazon.de/Ladekabel-Datenkabel-Samsung-Android-Smartphones-Wei%C3%9F/dp/B00TALGDMO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1514491813&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=aukey+usb+kabel+wei%C3%9F+5+st%C3%BCck&linkCode=ll1&tag=yammade-21&linkId=9101b8f12129b7290ece34d35a4f27db". But at least one in four worked, so in case you're desperate, you might give them a try...

Btw, Apple Carplay works too. I used a third party cable and it connected instantly without any problems.

PS: I'm not allowed to post real links, because I'm new in the forums.
[Connected Car] ni4rkx:
Hi everyone,

I'm on the same problem than you, I got a 2016 208 with SMEG+IV2 and sadly just like you, android auto is not supported.

Since i'm French I may have found more infos about why and how in French forums.

So basically since february 2017, 208, and most likely all the new Peugeot cars, have a different head unit NAC (Navigation Audio Connectée; Connected Audio Navigation). Which has a better touch screen quality, firmware, buttons and so on. There is no more useless mirrorlink but Android Auto just like Apple Car.

That was my bad when (2 months ago when I recieved my car) I found out that the car I bought was 6 months too old.

I tried to contact Peugeot's staff, they told me they had no idea about if we could replace the head unit to the newest (physically), but they will "keep an eye on the situation and come back to me" ... still no feedback, and even if it was possible, I think it would be hard to find a dealer that would know how to do it.

Anyway that's what I know. (Tried my best to explain).
[Connected Car] NeO_ReVoLuTiOn89:
Hi,

I have the same situation and my local service doesn't know it either. Does anyone have any news?

Thanks.
[Connected Car] Pangadaywalker:
In Brazil only Peugeot cars from 2017/2018 have this new Head Unit. I have a 2017/2017 and I can only work with Mirror Link which is fine at the moment. I can work with all apps I want, the only thing is the microphone. I can't seem to make it work on specific applications suck as the search for google maps, or the microphone on the Android Auto App from the phone.

Though if I make a phone call it will work just fine. Strangely enough.

I just got my OP3T and the first thing i want to do is root it. Im not sure though if rooting now will cause me issues installing the nougat update when it arrives. Should i just wait? Thank you for your time.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] jbw716:
If I were you, I would first just go ahead and unlock your bootloader. Then you can wait for the Nougat update, and then root.

Actually you can install​ Nougat already, OTA update via VPN changing to Germany or Canada
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Solnir:
Really? i guess ill go figure out how to do that lol
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Amar97:
Download Opera free VPN from playstore, change your server to Germany, and when you receive the notification for the update turn off the server again for better download speed
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Solnir:
how long does it normally take to get the notification?

EDIT: i just went to check for updates and got it, thanks!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Amar97:
If you didn't get the notification then just go check for updates
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] dj945:
will we recive a new update once the one in our own region actually has the update available.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Solnir:
why didn't they just release the update in all regions at once.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] smilirulz:
All phone manufacturers do that, because thousands or even millions of people will download in the same time from their servers, which will make the process very very slow. And then, you`re going to be mad on them even more.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
So the glass covering the camera lens recently broke on my girlfriend's Galaxy S7. The camera still worked and focused correctly, but I tried to replace the glass.

I used a heat gun to remove all of the broken glass and adhesive. Ever since I did that, everything looks "foggy" in the camera app. It's like there's moisture covering the lens. We tried cleaning the lens with a Q-tip, but it still looks the same.

Anyone know why this would happen? Did I damage the camera unit with the heat? Any advice on what to do? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HugePotato:
Maybe some adhesive is left between camera module and lens? Are lens exactly the same as the ones before? Just throwing some ideas around because I am honestly not an expert on this, might be damaged module but I don't know enough to say anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that is possible. Although if that's the case, I don't know why it won't come off. I haven't actually put the new glass cover over the camera unit lens yet, and I tried cleaning the module lens with a Q-tip. Same result. So, I'm wondering if I damaged the unit, or maybe melted the lens slightly. I guess it is what it is. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HugePotato:
Wait but is it foggy when you put lens over it? I mean is the whole package there or not? Because that's what lens are for, to focus stuff on the camera sensor. It's not clear from your post if you actually did that or not. Camera without lens with always be "foggy".

Edit: Reading it for 3rd time, is the exterior glass the only thing broken or is there more? Flat glass will not focus image so that is no the issue then. For a second I thought that you have camera module without any glass. Post some pictures I guess, from the camera and of the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, the exterior glass was the only thing broken. When it first broke, I ripped the shards off, and bought a replacement glass cover online. The camera was still working until I used a heat gun to remove the residual glass and adhesive.

After I did that, I tested the camera again, and that's when it looked foggy. Anyway, I'll post some pictures when I get the chance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NeoDJW:
Why would u even use heat gun for that? I changed about 20 camera lenses and all without heat gun, just break the glass and ripp it off, clean the leftover residue , put new glass and bam works... maybe u have condensation?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ttf:
Can you share a photo taken with the camera? it'll help to figure out what's happening.

Maybe some clues :

- If the lens is made with other material than glass they are heat and chemicals sensitive

- Some humidity got under the lens

- Deep scratch on the lens

- The lens barrel moved for some reason (pushed or not in his rail anymore) or is not calibrated anymore

(btw never use Q-tips to clean lenses they can scratch the lens and coating - Use optical cleaning paper)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
I was following a tutorial video I found online. The said that any residual adhesive from the old glass might cause an imperfect seal, and any old glass pieces might cause the new glass to crack. So, they removed it with a heat gun. How do you go about cleaning the leftover residue? Just curious. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Here's some photos. This is what an image looks like when taken with the camera currently:

Here's a picture taken with my S7, which doesn't have a damaged camera. This is what the image should look like:

Here's a closeup shot of the damaged camera. I haven't put the replacement glass on yet. I am waiting until this issue is resolved.

Looking at that close up shot of the lens, it does look like there's something on it. I can't tell if those are scratches or residue. Any idea what might be a good way to go about cleaning it? It seems like it would be hard to clean something that small with optical cleaning paper, especially since the unit moves. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ttf:
Thanks for the pics.

Somehow hard to figure out if it's some Q-tips dust of some melted plastic coating gel.

Yes it's hard to clean such a little surface but try to wrap your Qtips or a small non abrasive tool with the optical paper, add some 100% ethanol or 98% rubbing alcohol on it.

Do you have a air blower pump for camera?, if yes try with that first and if it still stuck on the lens then something melted, Gel coating? not sure. If it's inside well it's probably some gel...unfortunately there is nothing much you can do but changing the camera module.

Hope it's only dust, good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
Thanks for the advice! I don't have an air blower pump. Can I use a can of air? Anyway, I'll try these tips when I get back in town tomorrow. Thank you again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ttf:
Sure a can of air can do the trick, be careful though, some spray liquid and let some residue, test it on a piece of paper first. Tell us how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Us3rNam3d:
Have you washed the phone with water before the glass broke?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] juicejuice:
If the gunk doesn't clear with alcohol (e.g. lens cleaner) then it may be that the lens itself is damaged. If the heat gun made the lens too hot it may have damaged the actual lens itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mxl180:
That rear glass looks like the coating is flaking. You might need to replace the module. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...ont-Rear-Lens-Flex-Cable-Module-/192066941308
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
Thanks for all the help, everyone! So, I tried cleaning the lens with a can of air, and also with lens cleaner on a Q-tip covered with optical cleaning paper. Same results.

Looks like whatever the problem is, it's gonna require replacing the camera unit :( Darn, wish I hadn't touched it. Was working fine. Anyway, thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ttf:
Thanks for the follow up and sorry to hear it didn't fixed the problem. Maybe you could ask samsung to get you a price quote for the replacement or if you're really adventurous you could buy the camera module as a DIY project, be extra careful though you'll most likely avoid your warranty and the IP67/68 (someone posted a link in the thread for the camera unit), or ask a quote in a 3rd party shop?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JOFowler:
I'm having the exact same problem and same question! I just finished replacing my LCD. I took a picture to test it out, before putting the back cover back on, and it worked perfect. Then, I used to the heat gun to replace my camera lens, after putting the new back cover on, and now nothing buy blurry, and even looks like a couple of round water spots. I took the lens back off and tried cleaning it, I've shaken in, reset the camera settings, at this point...I'm afraid I damaged the camera with the heat gun and have to open it back up and have replace the whole camera. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Airman1947:
Aw man, yeah looks like the same thing happened to you. :( Yeah, I think that the heat damages the lens on the camera unit. I couldn't find a way to get rid of the blurriness.

I ended up just cashing in on the phone insurance for mine. If you have it, I'd suggest doing the same, unless you're feeling adventurous and wanna try and replace the camera unit. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck!

So, here in KC, I was curious to see if an update was available for my Sprint S7 Edge to 7.0 and its installing now. No notification or announcement (or I am oblivious to the obvious) from Sprint and my phone is set only to check manually, once I selected to check it came up with a 1628MB download. Mods, please delete if this is in the wrong spot or redundant, but a quick search did not show anything but the beta. I tried to join the beta but was too slow so unless this is a fluke, or I suddenly got included in the beta this looks to be available. I'll delete or update once it is done.
