Given an option I'd like less bezel for sure but definitely not even close to a deal breaker. I have multiple phones Pixel XL is my daily driver, have iPhone 7 plus, S8+ and G6. The G6 and S8+ look great with minimal bezel but using Pixel or iPhone 7 plus doesn't bother me at all.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Not a deal breaker for me either im just not a fan of the aesthetics.

The 5.5 screen is something i can't deal with though ...my s7 edge has it and I hate it (although the U11 would be alot better due to the normal aspect ratio). Its mostly why i went with the S8 plus....just for the screen size.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] tkoreaper:
What is this, high school? It's easy to assume your fanboyism based on the phones you have in your signature and the fact that you had absolutely nothing good to say about the U11... Why are you even here? What is your assumption based off of... that fact that I disagree with you? If I'm an HTC fanboy then why would I even bother with the S8? I guess you just overlooked that. You also forget that barely 6 years ago the first Note came out with a 5.3" screen and that was considered huge at the time... And even now that is FAR from small.

If a smartphone can be too thin for its own good, we can agree the same applies to bezels. I wager that people wanting less and less bezels aren't accustomed to the issues that come with them. First, a bezel adds strength... I'll let you take a guess as to what effect shrinking it would have on that. Then there's the absolutely annoying accidental touching issues... and no, cases don't help with that unless you use a really bulky case. I've never held or owned a phone and said "I wish the bezels were smaller" nor have I ever felt that bezels impeded any phone's functionality and my ability to use them.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Ive owned lots of phones from various manufacturers over the years including HTC. Other than the 6P there hasnt been anything else that Ive really liked the last few years other than what sammy has delivered.

And i guess your reading comprehension is not that great as i mentioned 2 things i wasnt a fan of on the U11...and I also mentioned everything else looked great.

Im here because the device does hold some interest for me...and because I can be. Dont like what i say....move along...

And i wont bother with your silliness after this, dont want the mods in here now do we?

I actually got that dark blue
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
this is a tired and worn out argument. The performance of the U11 in all ways justifies the Bezels. Samsung wouldn't be able to pull off as great as a phone with their Bezel-less gimmick. The Bezels are there for good reason.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Please elaborate, Id like to see what exactly bezels...in particular top and bottom have to do with performance.

I could see before on the m7,m8 etc with the full front firing speakers but such is not the case with the U11.

And I wasnt remotely argumentative..i was merely sharing my first impression of the device as that is the thread title is it not?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hellspawm:
Hello Devs, i bought a Samsung S7 Edge from someone as second hand, when i bought it told me as is locked in UK network, i went somewhere abroad , of course i went to one shop in UK to unlock the mobile, then once i was abroad i insert a sim from a different country and it register to that network, was all good until i return in Uk and when i inserted the UK sim card is doesn`t want to register to any network, no matter if i swap the sim.

I have a question : If i flash a ROM from another country can i make it to work? Or there is any chance to unlock and to be able to use on any network?

Any answer is much appreciated, links or whatever solutions i can try.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AntonPres:
your phone seems to be blacklisted in UK
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hellspawm:
I understand that, but i was asking is there any way to get rid of this , flashing a new rom would keep the phone blacklisted?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AntonPres:
Flashing another rom won't fix that, phone is blacklisted, and is denied on registration by imei and serial number, get another phone to use in UK

AnyAutoAudio

So I was tired of not being able to use the audio apps I normally use in Auto and decided to try and do something about it. This app is the result :fingers-crossed:

How does it work?

By using the notification listener permission, the app is able to access the media session of any audio app that is running. This is then passed to Android Auto, which makes it possible to control as any normal Auto app. This also means that it is necessary to run the audio app(s) first before running Auto.

I have several ideas for future features, but would like some feedback first and get rid of bugs. Take it for a spin!

Howto:

- Setup AnyAutoAudio from the app

- Open and run music app(s)

- Run Android Auto from phone or dashboard

Latest progress update & ideas for the future:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72587291&postcount=67

Download:

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/dk.jonske.AnyAutoAudio

Install AnyAutoAudio directly from apk:

If downloading the APK directly you need to allow unknown sources in Auto,

- In the Android Auto app, tap the Hamburger menu.

- Tap About.

- Tap About Android Auto header 10 times, until a toast appears thar says "Developer mode enabled". Now you can access developer mode by selecting the overflow menu dots on the top right of the handheld screen.

- Select Developer settings from the overflow menu and check unknown sources.

Hi,

Tested and working with "Google Play Books". :good:

I suggest to try to support the FM Radio App.

Perhaps, you feel I'm fool but I like to check one DAB Radio App running in my phone... my car doesn't have DAB radio.
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Great to hear it works!

Do you have a link for the app? It should work as long as the app is playing audio the standard way in android, so I'll have a look :)
[Android Auto General] manos78:
For the RADIO (FM) it's the

stock

FM App... Try it in your phone, it isn't detected in the list of Audio Apps.

Regarding the DAB App it's this:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ex.dabplayer

Please, continue improving this great App!

For example, your App can send button events to the controlled App? Back, Play/Stop, Next...
[Android Auto General] PittBrad:
This is the app:

http://androidstereo.mobile.eu.org/default-apps/2.7.4/com.tw.radio_78cc.apk
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Ahh, the list is filtering out system apps. I will include them in the next update :)

There shouldn't be any problems with the DAB app. Have you tried it?

Yes, it will handle all button events like play, pause, next etc. I will look into if it can take special buttons some apps use :)
[Android Auto General] Mac31284:
Jusrt tested with local files and vlc and this works well. Its a Great idea.. Ill be a really happy camper if u can get it to pull the audio from firefox and chrome.

Youtube/netflix/hulu etc could all be nice too. But the browsers obviously would be top priority cuz then u could do anything (live tv news etc etc) in my opinion.

Regardless..Great job and idea!

keep at it. I Will report back after more experience with it.
[Android Auto General] manos78:
Great! Waiting for it! :fingers-crossed:

No. It's a wish for the future... if your tool works, then I'll purchase the dongle.

It will be interesenting if you introduce some additional interaction with the audio app. :good:
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Version 0.0.2 is now released, with system apps included and basic voice control.

As i have now included system apps Chrome works. Just tested it with a radio website :) The video apps wont run i the background so we cant use Android Auto at the same time, this is a Android limitation. I have read reports that some find it possible to open Youtube in Firefox though?

See if the Radio FM app works now :)
[Android Auto General] manos78:
Installed! Thank you!

Results:

- App FM don't show in the list. :crying:

- Voice control: Please, explain how to use it. :confused:

- No bugs detected. :good:

Regards.
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
If a app dosent show up, it is because it is not made in the standard way Android handles media. Maybe try a different FM app from the Play store? Just find one that has a notification widget, then it should work. I dont have fm in my phone so cant test it myself :)

For the voice control, only "play music" seems to work ("pause", "play" etc. fails on Google's side). This is a requirement from Google, so couldnt update the app without including this, but will expand it furter like "Play Chrome on AnyAutoAudio". :)
[Android Auto General] Dec64:
For most android head units you can not use a different FM radio app as far as i'm aware. The DAB app does not show up either which is a big shame, oh well.
[Android Auto General] manos78:
The stock FM Radio in my Moto G4 has "a notification widget". It's like any other audio app.

Please, can you provide some technical info about how you search for Apps? Can you include some logging tool inside your App?

Great! You will start the "AudioApp" when the command "Play [AudioApp] on AnyAutoAudio" is done, or will be required to have the AudioApp already open?
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Ahh so its a unit with Android onboard? Well it should still handle the apps the same way. The way this apps works is by connecting to the MediaSession that an audio app should create, if you follow Android Docs. But apps can still play audio without this, and some does so. I have tried it with different audio apps, and so far have not found other ways :)

My fault :) I assumed that audio apps with notification used standard implementation, but not all does have I found. Also see answer above :)

For the filtering it works by finding apps that use the intent "ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON". This is what an audio app is required to use to be able to handle volume and playback control, so any audio app using MediaSession will have this. Also in 0.0.3 it will filter out apps that already have Android Auto implementation :)

EDIT: Answer to last question

You will still need to have the audioapp already opened. I might be able to change that for head units but for the Auto app I can't as calling new apps will open ontop and that violates the rules..
[Android Auto General] Dec64:
So it's not possible to get the FM radio apps in question to work at all?
[Android Auto General] manos78:
Hi,

Perhaps a root mode to launch an App as background can be a temporal alternative.

What you think?
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Well the problem is not in the FM itself, you might be able to find other FM apps that will work. I will continue to seek solutions that will work across most apps :)

That's a good idea! I will add it to my todo list, but will focus on the basic features for now. I will look into it when that is working properly

:good:
[Android Auto General] jvvpc:
Also has anyone tried it with a head unit yet? When I use the emulator, the icons on the list of chosen apps in Auto disappears after first load. Not sure if this is a emulator error or in the app, as i don't get this on my phone :)
[Android Auto General] chocolatet:
Can you please pm version .02 as that allowed spotify to show up. For some reason after the 2.3 update to android auto my spotify no longer shows up at all. This app was only the way for my spotify to work.

[MENTION=2589487]chocolatet[/MENTION]: as I already wrote in other thread, to restore Spotify, you must install that app from adb shell (not from Play store).

Wait, does this mean AutoMate works with Android Auto headunits? Like can we customize it and stuff?
[Android Auto General] goughymachine:
I would like to use Android Auto on my phone in our car, even though we don't have an android auto head unit. I also use apple music. So while apple music shows up in anyandroidauto, I am unable to do anything with Apple Music - the back/skip/play/stop buttons don't work on my phone. I can press the menu, which opens and shows Apple Music and if I click on that apple music will open. I've seen some comment that while they can't control apple music from their cars head unit, they can on their phone. Just wondering if someone could put up a little guide on exactly how they got the apple music buttons functioning on their phone?

I realise Kdadds has mentioned using automate etc, but I have no idea what you mean when you say "set that up". Set it up how?

I'm really frustrated with how poorly apple music really functions and hate myself for using it, but the rest of my house are apple users and we have a family subscription so it feel like throwing money away subscribing to another service. Heck, I even had to find an older version of apple music because the latest one keeps pausing the music every one or two songs and it's a nightmare to get it playing again.

[Android Auto General] Pig Vomit:
Using a stock Pixel 2 XL with latest 8.1 update, not rooted, locked bootloader, with Android Auto on the newest factory 2018 Ford Sync3 running current 2.3 firmware (JL1T-14G381-AJ).

It does not work for me. Tried all suggestions listed in the thread (I read all the posts). No button for AnyAutoAndroid appears on Android Auto.

Coming from using AppRadio Unchained Rootless on a Pioneer head unit (without Android Auto). So frustrating not having full mirroring capability with touch. For anyone with a Pioneer NEX deck, you can have full touch enabled screen mirroring with AR Unchained (paid app, search xda).

What is most frustrating is that the Sirius app (the only reason I need this app) is not natively part of Android Auto, and the mobile version on Ford Sync3 is wonky and doesn't work most of the time.

Is there anybody running this app successfully on Oreo? Trying to figure out if the problem is with Oreo or is with Pixel/Google.

And.....please people.....if the app is not working for you, to help the dev track down problems and improve the app, you need to post

1. Phone make and model

2. Android build version

3. Make, model and firmware version of Android Auto capable head unit being used.

No control on OnePlus 3T with Oreo

Thanks for developing this!

I installed AnyAutoAudio and I'm able to get iTunes playing to my car stereo over bluetooth and iTunes showing as the audio source on my phone. The problem is, I cannot get any response out of the pause/play, previous track or next track buttons. I love the concept, but I suspect this needs updating for Oreo. I'm running a OnePlus 3T with the latest OxygenOS 5.0.1 release which is based on Oreo 8.0.

[Android Auto General] Allstar007:
Hello there is no update? What I would wish would be if you could do more setting in the app and search the tracks from the radio like google music directly.
[Android Auto General] valhallen.282:
The app does one. Simple. Thing. Allow you to control another app via listener service. If you need Google search function don't you think this isn't the right place?

Are you on the XDA Labs version? Or the direct download version. You need the labs version. I had this problem on the direct download Variant. Could you get some logs? Without that the Dev would be hard pressed to fix the problem you are having.

I'm on OOS on the 5 on Oreo and my GF has the 3T on 5.0.1 controls work perfectly. The only time they don't work is when the app is not auto-starting like it should. Or as I worked out if the app you are trying to control has stopped responding as is the case with Apple Music and Mixcloud. Could you explain more about your particular problem in detail?

First of all, thank for your hard genius work! Secondly, after you perfect this app do you think you could create a way to play videos stored on your phone onto the Android Auto.

I tried this with Apple Music on a Samsung Galaxy S9. It caused my Android Auto to freak out and it kept rebooting / refreshing the Android Auto interface on my car. It was an endless loop of my screen flickering until I closed out the AnyAutoAudio app. I will definitely keep an eye on this app for an update.

I have a Galaxy Note8 and my AnyAutoAudio bugs out as well when plugged in to my truck (Head unit is a Pioneer AVH4100NEX). It doesn't just bug on on Apple Music, but any non navtive audio source (I tried my Mycloud, Poweramp, Youtube Music, etc). . . The funny thing is, it was working fine and without the endless loop when i first downloaded and installed it 2 weeks ago. I hope this bug can be eliminated soon. I really enjoyed using AnyAutoAudio.
