V40 XC Entertainment - USB connection to smart phone
Afternoon - I've recently picked up a really rather nice V40 Cross Country and everything has worked like a dream ... with one minor exception.
Within the in-car system (HTC & Samsung phones) - Bluetooth for phone works fine - Bluetooth for streaming works fine - USB for charging works fine - USB as a media device only works for HTC and does not work for the Samsung phone. Samsung Galaxy phone reports successfully connected as media device but the in-car systems just stays on 'connecting' Anybody played with any of this and have any insight or comparisons? thanks Rob |

Right then, my phone streams music over Bluetooth without issue. I have only ever used the USB for charging, but tried to use it as a USB device. Car tries to connect and I get an error message on the phone to say no software found XP service pack 3 and to download Kies Air. So looks like its a Samsung issue rather than a Volvo issue.

V40 XC Entertainment - USB connection to smart phone
Quote:
(HTC was running v2, Samsung is v4) * Samsung Android invokes the Media Transfer Protocol when connecting to another device. It's means you can keep using your phone. * Volvo Ents expects device to be connected as USB Mass Storage device (which would disable other functions on the phone) So I guess I'll just get a massive USB stick and drop all my music on to that, leave the phone on bluetooth and away we go. (Don't have time to start messing with the Phone OS) |

Have you tried audio output mode in accessories? What about PTP instead of MTP connection? I will try to see if I can get anywhere with these tomorrow. Phone just updated from Andriod 4.2.2 to 4.3

No joy with either of these either. Is it Samsung or Android that's the problem? My old HTC Desire Z had the choices of charge only, media device or disc drive when connected to USB, it was on gingerbread until I installed the dev rom of jelly bean. Have you had a look for a solution on xdadevelopers forum?

For info - the ipod works through the USB without any problems.
Likewise i'll have to invest in a suitable USB stick
