Hey Emil. First of I want to say this is awesome. I had been trying to figure out a way to integrate a nice obdii set up in my car (gauge, mirror, phone etc) but never found an option that was really speed with the interior. This integrates very nicely and can't wait to see what comes from this.

Now for the quirk I am noticing. I am running a pixel, on Oreo, with a pioneer 4200 in a 2015 Kia forte5, and cheap elm 327 device (found one with an actual on/off button). Had always worked great and still does. But when I first set it up (fresh install of torque and your app I had 5 gauges and it was super fast at updating. Then the next day it slowed down. Tried it on my co-workers new truck (2017 chevy) to see if it was my car. App was still slow. Cleared and reset up your app back on my car with no change. Cleared torque and left it default and still the same slow polling of the data (about once a second updates on the screen). Verified in torque and it was much faster than in your app. So then I rebooted, unlocked phone and interstate plugged it in. As soon as it started showing it it was young awesome again but after a few seconds it slowed down again. So I tried it one more time with the same results but this time I watched the data light on the obd adaptor. It matched the update speed when fast and when slow. I also tried the alternative polling method in your app as well as the different options in torque.

Since this is from a cold reboot how would you like me to go about getting the log for you? And is there anything else you would like me to try. I read the entire thread but did not see this issue come up.

Thanks for all your awesome work on this and your awesome response time so far from reading this thread.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

I'm actually working on a few tweaks on the gauges, I did considered the possibility to use custom background image as well, but probably not at the moment, let me get the changes I'm working on out of the way (new gauge graphic and some custom layout).

Once completed Youtube app will be in the works as well.

I'll email you about the finish translation, it will be nice to have it is more languages..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Interesting one.. and not sure what logs will actually help on this... I do not really have control on how torque is returning/reading the data I can only request it.

Do enable the debugging in the obd2aa app and capture a bur report please I will see if there is anything there which could have a potential explanation to this...

Unless it's the battery optimization.... can you try to disable any power saver mode and see if that improves, disable doze as well for test purpose, or try keeping the screen on for a long time and see if the slowdown is correlated to the screen going off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
Still have not had a chance to pull the log. But if I open torque and go to live view it polls much better. I also made sure battery saver was not on and cleared torque and your app from doze (at least I think that's what I did). So if there is anywhere else I need to change settings let me know.

Also I came across another bug where whenever I change to another Android auto screen or the tpms screen it will redraw like the last screen shot. I only have 3 gauges selected, but it draws some below it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I just stumbled across the issue of redraw myself last ? so I'm investigating that.

For doze actually you probably need to disable it for torque as well since torque is the one pulling the data (try both torque+obd2aa) if slowness persist please send a bug report to see if there is any hint on what could be causing that.

Have you tried to keep the screen on just toss see if its related?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Version 1.7 available in beta channel, here are the changes:

- Fixed redraw of existing gauges.

- Added new layout option

- Added styled gauged

- Option for custom background on each gauge.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Not sure if this has happened before but the list of pids are repeated in 1.7. Haven't tried in the car yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you check if the list is still repeated after you close and open the app, if yes can you try to clear data?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Only one list now. :D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Still having an issue with distance until empty not registering either at all or a very lengthy time. Torque show it right away.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm really sorry but I have no control over how Torque is returning the data. I did sent a couple of emails to the developer asking for some support/info on this but never got an answer. Unless I write a new app from scratch which could pull data from an OBD2 adapter I'm not sure what else can I do... :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
No worries. Just wanted you to know just in case you find something.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks to [MENTION=5798958]Pyrres[/MENTION] next version will feature Finnish translation as well :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
Just tried and noticed that if I made custom backgrounds to gauges I'd have to make the sides transparent manually as currently it just shows 1x1 background pic without sizing it to gauge size. Witch I think it's the right way to do it, but if it's easy maybe add option that automatically cuts out the part outside gauges arc? Don't know how hard it is to implement but would certainly add a bit of polish to the app as it would make it easier to make yours.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I have a saying everything is possible, however that might be more complicated then it sounds, especially with the current construction of the app, so probably that will be a no go I'm affraid.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Values appear on top of units in this version for me. On 1.6 values were at the bottom above text.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
Hey, you never get anything if you don't ask. I thought it might be harder than it sounds. But I assume it understands transparent textures so it's not going to be hard to make such background files.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes this was mentioned by some so going to investigate. It shouldn't...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] stabby:
For my Fuel Flow Rate/Hour gauge says it is showing in gallons, however the values I see are much higher and I'm pretty sure the numbers it is showing are in liters. In the torque app it is set to gallons and shows gallons. Is there anyway to get obd2aa to show the correct number?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pyrres:
Could be the same thing that leads me to have bug that I see possibly PSI values when all is is set to show BAR in TPMS screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] UmMeL©:
Hi.

I use a LG G4 and I got the same problem with the actually version. Every startup the software freezes after one minute or two and restarts after a few minutes by itself.

Any informations about this problem?

Any fixes available?

Btw...THE BEST APP EVER ...Thanks for that!:good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
The problem described was caused by Torque crashing in the background which I cannot help/fix. Please do send me a bug report so I can have a look if it's the same reason or something else. Please make sure you enable debugging in the app before capturing the bug report.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
If anybody want's me to add custom layout to the app for the gauges, please email me an XML file and I will be happy to do so.

Here is an example of the XML structure required:

<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:tag="wrapper_layout">
<!-- Left column -->

<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|start"
android:tag="gauge_2"
/>

<!-- Middle column -->
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:tag="gauge_1" />

<!-- right column -->

<View
android:layout_width="226dp"
android:layout_height="226dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|end"
android:tag="gauge_3" />

</FrameLayout>

Important

Each view must contain a tag, which is formated like in the example, where the number corresponds to the Gauge number from the setting screen.

The layout which wraps everything together must have a tag called: wrapper_layout

You are free to use any Layout you want, except ScrollView.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Version 1.7a published.

Changelog:

- Fixed overlapping text

- Fixed Liter/hour, Gal/hour conversion problem.

Please let me know if you find any other problems.

For TPMS conversion issues I will need some logs please, to see how the units are reported in order to make sure the conversion is correct.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Thanks, but unfortunately there are still problems with text. It jumps around depending on setting (scale, units, text) and name of PID (lower case, upper case, symbol)...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Text is due to change position depending on the gauge setting, to prevent overlapping.

If you have no needle enabled the text will be in the middle for big nice read, however it you do have a needle enabled that won't be to readable so the text will be on the bottom.

On the first screen as far as I can tell you haven't configured the last 3 pid (which does cause the text to be up over the arc itself), but I wouldn't expect anybody to have gauges set up without pids associated to them in a normal use case.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drc13:
Thanks Emil,

Can someone confirm if Litres Per 100km (instant) is working for anyone. It has stopped working for me on the last couple of builds.

My phone is also running super hot and the battery draining while plugged in but I haven't investigated it any further so it my have nothing to do with this app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will check the liters per 100km, but as of hit battery it shouldn't really happen.... Indicates something is wrong... Question is it obd2aa side or torque side?

Can you produce a logcat please? Make sure you enable debugging before producing one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] technopeer:
Emil, I love the app. So far I have not had too many issues and the new guages look great. Do you have any plans to add the ability to have multiple OBD2 screens like you have TPMS and Main OBD2? Thanks for a great app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drc13:
Emil, just an update after 2 couple of days of not working my L/100km is working again today. Not sure why but good news :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will consider.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Now those are the type of errors I hate.... it makes it very very difficult to find the root cause....

Also I did some testing regarding the usage, with 6 gauges the cpu usage was around 4%-6%, with 15 gauges and all set up to do all the drawings (needle, text, background, arch) the CPU usage was around 14%-18% which is getting a bit high have to admit, so I will see how and what I can restructure to reduce this, on the other hand while I did give the option of 15 gauges I strongly believe that was a bit of an overkill and in practice probably you wont use more than 8 which shouldn't use that much CPU.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Haxxa:
App is awesome, very pleased, Dev is fantastic with updates!

Feature Request: Until values start coming in is it possible to have a loading screen something that simply says "Loading..." or "Waiting for ODB" in White Bold Text.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I had that.... Not sure why I have removed it :) I'll add it back in the future.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Haxxa:
Awesome :D :good: :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
This has nothing to do with OBD2 Plugin, only with camsam app.

I just tested where it won't work, and decided just to write it..

I entered to a 3km tunnel where i knew there is camera only to one end of the tunnel. So when you enter from one side where is the camera, camsam worked ok, i saw the notification in OBD2, all ok.

But when you enter to tunnel from the other direction, this time the camera is at the end of the tunnel. So by entering the tunnel you won't have any notification because camera is far from there. When you are inside the tunel, gps looses signal, so when you are at the end of the tunnel where is the camera, you won't get any notification because gps doesn't have signal yet..

It is entirely camsam issue , just to notice. In tunnel you should be more focus.. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] birdbrainuk:
Picked up my new Skoda Octavia a few day ago and was looking forward to using the app.

Since using I have 2 issues.

1. I get no notifications from Samcam on the android auto screen (smart watch is enabled and I do get notifications on my watch) Any thoughts

2.I use "trip time" "moving" "stopped" these show as seconds can this be changed to hours minutes seconds.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Did you allowed obd2aa to access notifications?

I will look into the requeste for problem 2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] birdbrainuk:
I thought I did but have seen this get turned off.

Now I can't find the setting in the menu. Can you give me a pointer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well one option is to enable the CamSam auto start in the app preferences, normally that will trigger a prompt. If not depending on your phone is this setting can be found in different places for Nougat go to settings, apps press the cog, special settings, notification access.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Quick question: Can OBD2AA pick up and display any notifications or only from CamSam?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
At the moment it's limited to CamSam, what do you have in mind?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Oh, I can think of plenty of cases where that would be helpful :)

But mostly, I live in a country with no fixed speed cameras so CamSam is of no use to me. We do have local apps for mobile speed cams, though...

Also, my new car has an official app that among other things can notify me of any recalls and service reminders based on milage - that would also be useful on the car screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Send me a link to the speed camera app you are using I will test if I can access the notifications for it, not all app shares information over notifications (for example Waze and TomTom don't so I cannot tap into them).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Thanks. I just sent it to you by e-mail.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreasy:
Any other channel to buy this plugin? or even better a trial to test it if it works? Assuming you buy it from xda app, how to you get future updates?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WarBird87:
I am unable to purchase the app. It keeps telling me there is something wrong and to try again later...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

There is a free mini version of it available here: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...p-free-mini-obd2-plugin-android-auto-t3679166

XDA labs works same way like play store, when I push an update XDA labs gives you a notification that there is an update for an app, you just updated from there. No I'm affraid XDA labs is the o my way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you send me a screenshot please (by email to borconie@gmail.con)

Version 1.7b in Beta.

Changes:

- Added Danish (Credit to [MENTION=536872]Gunde[/MENTION])

- Added compatibility with FartKontrol.nu (speed camera alerts for Denmark)

- Some code optimization for better memory usage when drawing the gauges.

Let me know if everything works correctly so I can move it to stable version please.

Hey Emil,

Still have not had a chance to pull a log, but thought I would add a pic and let you know what new info I got on the issue of slow refresh rate. If I just plug the phone it the refresh rate is slow. If I turn it on and use the notification to open torque and leave it in the opening screen it updates nice and quick. If I turn off the screen it slows down again. I have standby and dude disabled for both your app and torque. Is there maybe a service I need to remove from doze as well?

Also my only issue with this is the phone heats up when I leave the screen on like that

P.s. just updated to beta b from a and it seems the indicator bar inside the gauges on the left and right are no longer showing up. The one that indicates where your reading is on the gauge.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you try disabling the whole power management altogether? (just for test purpose)

I'll check the bar not showing problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
How should I do that? I found "Android system" under battery optimization settings. Is that what I should turn off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
What phone/rom do you have?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
Also here is a screen shot from the preview image and my settings for the left gauge. Already tried clearing data and reconfiguring from scratch.

Torque not working with Android Auto

Hi everyone

For some time now I have been using the Torque Pro App and CamSam Plus.

I am very pleased to have found the OBD2AA app.

Unfortunately, my radio display doesn't show Torque and CamSam!

When I connect the USB cable to my smartphone and the car radio, Android auto starts automatically. At the same time Torque and CamSam will be started on my mobile phone. Unfortunately, however, nothing is transferred to the radio display.

I have installed everything according to the instructions. My Android smartphone is a Sony Xperia Z5 (E6653) with Android version 7.1.1. I tested the features on a SUBARU Impreza MY18.

Can someone help me?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Please try to enable unknown sources inside Android Auto (see op for how to)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] themefw:
Hi Emil

Thank you for your quick answer. I have already enable unknown sources inside Android Auto.

What else can I do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Have you pressed the right button on the Android auto screen and chosen the OBD2AA app? There you find the gauges.

Camsam only shows up, when there is an alert.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] themefw:
Hi FormelLMS

Thank you for you replay.

Yes, I have chosen the right button, unfortunately the OBD2AA App is not displayed...

What am I doing wrong?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You have enabled unknown sources and the obd2aa doesn't show up as a choice on the 5th tab??? That is very strange, have you tried restarting the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] themefw:
Yes, I have also done a restart of the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
On Android Auto enable force logging from the developer settings than follow instructions on op and send me a bug report.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WarBird87:
I have noticed my boost/vaccum reading is off... The reading from the torque app matches my actual boost gauge, which at idle reads -22 and on the screen or will read -7, but boost is accurate.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] halfnium:
I've noticed the same thing. However, on my indication I read around -11 to -9 psi when off the throttle. At -11 psi from atmospheric pressure would be around 22" Hg. That would be correct for an engine at a strong manifold pressure. At -7 that would be roughly 14" Hg or so (not the 22" on the analog gauge). It appears to be a lack of unit conversion on a scale that normally goes from "Hg to pounds per square inch. I don't fully understand why - since the torque program displays "Hg and PSI - the AA gauge only displays PSI.

Whatever is going on there - as you said, something isn't quite right. You need two different scales on the same digital gauge...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] WarBird87:
Yea it weird, but I just replaced the boost gauge with a time I've gauge since i have a regular electronic boost gauge already mounted. Everything else works well. Even better now that I turned off battery optimization
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=3006930]WarBird87[/MENTION]

Ok do I understand correctly that there should be a gauge which has 2 values? I wasn't aware of that (sorry...)

I had a look on what Torque is reporting and this is what I'm getting:

Pid name: Turbo Boost & Vacuum Gauge Units: psi

I will try to see if my car supports this PID and try to understand the readings (sorry I'm not too mechanical...)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] halfnium:
Typically, on a vacuum / boost gauge, positive pressure is expressed as PSI, but under vacuum (or positive pressure less than atmospheric pressure) the units are expressed in inches of mercury. That's how most will recognize engine manifold pressure / vacuum. It looks like the gauge as is expresses manifold vacuum by negative PSI. There's roughly 2 "Hg / PSI (rough conversion) vacuum because 30 "Hg is about a perfect vacuum and there's just about 15 PSI in one atmosphere. Anyway, does this explanation help?
