I had a Samsung S5 and had an issue with it connecting to the car for internet connection. Now I have an S7 and the same probelem.....anyone else have this problem.

 

Must enable sharing internet over bluetooth or USB in android settings.

It is off by default and you have to turn it on every time.

 

tried that , will not let me do it

 

Looks like your provider or a company security setting is blocking this. I have an S4 and don't have any problems. I installed a tiny utility though that switches the Bluetooth tethering on when my phone connects to the car. It seemed that the setting was switched of after a certain period. Since then never had any problems.

 

It's funny at the dealership they had an S4 and no problem, Iphone no problem....S5 problem now the S7. I think I will have to teather it via a cable

 

How does this work ? It is only with command that you can use your phone to make your car connect to internet ?

 

Hi mate, can you please link the app? It drives me insane every time I have to turn it on manually.

 

I have the S7 Edge and no issues with internet connectivity.

 

I can't really get you a link but if you search Google play for "btauto tethering" you should find it. The developer is "m.takemi" (Japanese)
It has the simplest UI you can imagine. Just select the BT connection that needs to trigger the tethering. But it does what it needs to do.

 

Do you use wifi or bluetooth? It works when manually tethered to the usb
