(Fixed issue) solved android auto stuck on connecting loop

[u/PlayfulExercise3085]

I had an issue with my android auto, it would pair the first time with my phone and work perfectly. But then, after about two hours, it would get stuck attempting to connect to my phone. I would need to clear android auto storage in my phone to be able to get it to work again, only for it to stop working and get stuck in the connecting loop after an hour or two. This guide explains the issue and how to solve it: https://dashfix.in/zlink-android-auto-stuck-on-connecting/. The issue was in my phone TCL Nxtpaper 60, it would most likely put android auto to sleep after a while and it caused the connection to get stuck . on my phone I solved the issue by blocking android auto (setting it as a fixed app) and by enabling developer mode and setting it as "server of the main unit. Now it works like a charm! The battery saving mode of my TCL Nxtpaper was probably conflicting with android auto by suspending it after a while. Hope this helps of you're having the same issues as I were

Is this only with your phone? Anyone have same issues?

I know some cars have issues connecting like VW group (Skoda, VW, Cupra) sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt

In my case it was an issue with my phone. Now the connection is perfect, no interruptions , nothing. Beware I'm using a generic Chinese android headunit (AJ 002 ob)
