I will need a bug report please.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
[MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION] Thanks for the update. Will root be more successful at starting and stopping the head unit server?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ish... with newer Androids it getting more and more difficult to do background automated tasks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Wow, that was a quick response. Got it and I won't bother trying then.

Thx!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
On the way, thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
I had an issue connecting, and sent the logs to Emil. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (model SM-N950U1, US unlocked).

Emil said in the logs that the Head Unit Server indicated it could not make a connection with the device.

I then shut off Head Unit Server, then reactivated it with a new USB cord in place of the old one. I have since had no errors connecting to AA with OBD2AA activated.

I realized the USB cable I was using was one that did not work well with AA in my old vehicle, so from here on out I will not use that USB cable.

Hi everyone. I have a Samsung galaxy s9+ with official android pie NO ROOT and with this latest beta the app finally works with my android headunit using Chinese carkit dongle. Until now it has never worked. Emil thank you for Athens good work. I will test it with HUR WiFi connection as well in the coming days
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amarinos:
App doesn't work on a Galaxy S8 on Ford Kuga SYNC3. With latest AndroidAuto installed, enabled Developers Mode, and although I select the OBD2AA in the first connection to SYNC3, app doesn't launch, and I have to uninstall and reinstall everything in order to get AA operational again. Moreover, selecting the TPMS settings screen crashes the app entirely.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
I want to say a few words about USB-cables. There are a lot of problems with cheap cables and there is even a thread at the official Android Auto forum about working/recommended cables.

I did a lot of research on that topic and finally found some criterias that I want to have fullfilled for my cable to be as sure as possible:

as short as possible

pure copper wires

profile of the single cables as big as possible

very good shielding, double with foil and braid preferred

ferrite for filtering interference FROM phone and headunit back to each other and to the car

high quality connectors

working with Quick Charge

meets USB 2.0 HighSpeed specifications

For all of you living in Germany, i can recommend this cable, it fulfills all of the above requirements for a ridiculous cheap price:

https://www.kab24.de/computer/kab24-usb-20-premium-highspeed-kabel-a-stecker-auf-micro-stecker-hq-schwarz-ferrit-vergoldet-awg-28-24-max-2a-ladestrom.html

I am using the 0.25m version now for quite a while and for many hours of driving and it works flawlessly. Of course, there is always a little downside. The cable is a bit bulky and not very flexible, but if if you put it in a matching shape once, connecting and disconnecting the phone should be fine.

Help!!

Gentlemen, I kindly ask you to solve the problem of connecting to OBD2AA, I have a xiaomi A2 with Android one root magisck, I follow the procedure step by step and every time I give "always" to OBD2AA I get this writing: need to make sure that Headunit Server is running on the phone ..... what can I do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Read the first post of the thread:

"App won't work with XIAOMI phones, due to MIUI mainupulating Google Play Services"

Yes, I read before buying a smartphone, xiaomi A2 has not miui but Android a stok. I think it's okay ...

Must I have to Root an Samsung S8 to TRY this plugin?

I do know I can not root my S8 since it is on Oreo. I also noted that sometimes Samsung devices disconnect the USB for an unknown reason. I found that out using a MHL adapter (usbc-hdmi) and found that by enabling the Samsung Dex mode (https://developer.samsung.com/samsung-dex/how-it-works), it usually would stay connected. I just want to experiment with Android Auto using OpenAuto on a Raspberry Pi3 B+ and Attempt to use Torque on it as well. I am not a complete noob to this scene, but it has been a while. I Know I can install unknown sources in Android, and that is how I installed XDA-Labs. My question is must I have to Root an to TRY this plugin? Thank you in advance.

Uconnect

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 with Uconnect 8.4. Samsung Galaxy 7 phone running Android 7. All updates latest. I installed the Obd2aa newest version and followed the instructions as best I could. If I choose Obd2aa when asked the AA screen on the truck is garbled and unreadable. If I choose Android Auto, everything works except I can’t choose Obd2aa from the buttons at bottom of the screen, it just has option to return to Uconnect. The camera warnings and vehicle at operating temp notifications still work

Thanks

Bryan
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sorry as I specified in op and on XDA labs will not work with Xiaomi phones which runs miui

Disable change DPI in the preferences and screen should be fine.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] murryrulz:
I cannot get the to work this to work on my Sony ax5000 and my OP6T. The farthest I've gotten is the head unit telling to me open Android auto and follow the prompts. Then when that goes away the head unit then says this USB device is not supported. I've tried with root enabled and disabled but still no luck. Any suggestions?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ayrton70:
xiaomi A2 does not have miui but android one stock, I think it should be fine, right?

Unable to setup TPMS

Thanks for the great app. I can use it with my Sync 3.0

However, the app auto restart when I tried to setup TPMS.

Therefore, unable to see TPMS status~

is there any other way to configure TPMS? maybe directly in .json file?

ps. unable to setup TPMS on both of my Samsung S6 and HTC One
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
I have posted the JSON for my Sync 3 with the TPMS values. Search this thread for my post. It has details

I tried to connect two devices to my Sony xav-ax3005db.

Samsung S7 Edge touchwiz rom rooted with magisk. On connect error "Local headunitserver not running", but it is running because I see notification.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z stock android 8.1, no root. On connect nothing happens.

Android Auto without obd2aa works without any problems.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sweetolbryan:
Still not working

“Disable change DPI in the preferences and screen should be fine.”

First of all, THANKS for your quick reply...

I do not see an option to disable the change DPI. I selected change DPI dialog and it would let me enter a number. I tried leaving blank and putting “0” in the field. Both of those caused Obd2aa to try to load and connect over and over until I got an “Obd2aa keeps stopping” error

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
You have to install tle latest Beta, there you can disable the DPI change.

Does anyone know a workaround for Samsung phones? I love this app, gutted its not working anymore
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hasanity:
Emil, I finally got this to work again with your new beta update! So happy to finally see it on my head unit again. Whatever you did with the update worked well! So far no issues. Thanks and keep up the good work!

-I'm using Lenovo P2 phone on a VW head unit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
I also use VW head unit. And it always been working. As long as i start the car and head unit before plugging in the phone. And unplug phone strait away before I remove the key from ignition.

I’m still on previous version of OBD2AA and non rooted Samsung S9+
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
Does anyone know if there's any way to make a display an On/Off similar to how torque does it? It's off when value = 0 and on when value > 0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Yes you need to create extra pid in torque, set minimum value at 0 and max at 1.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sportwagen3:
Yeah I have it set up like that right now, but wondering if it can just say "ON" and "OFF" instead.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
I know I wanted to be able to do it too.

But unfortunately I don't think its possible.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Crapping_Bricks:
Hey guys just wondering how to take proper advantage of the setting to make night mode change on sunset and sunrise? When I tick it my AA is always in night mode so I'm assuming that it isn't obtaining my location to use the correct time zone. Can I manually set this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Give me more info on this one and I'll see what can be done.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It takes the timezone from your phone settings + location to work it out, the problem might be the new Dark theme on Android which pushes AA into night mode...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Latest beta apparently solved one set of problems but created some others :) I'm looking into getting them fixed and probably push it to stable in the next week or so.

For Samsung devices please try latest beta and see if that helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
P.S. May I ask why are you using an expensive Chinese box, instead of simply installing HUR on your headunit? (assuming your unit isn't a WinCe one)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
On torque you can create a simple “on/off” display.

Ex DPF is doing regeneration then green light is on, when the regeneration is finished the light is off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NU13:
Samsung A8+ I am unable to open AA with obd2aa on the phone let alone get it to run lol. Guess for me it is completely broken. Still thinking about buying a different brand of phone just so I can use this app. Any suggestions for phones??
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
That's not normal. Email me for support.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] matrixx1:
Hi sorry for the late answer. I bought the Chinese dongle when HUR was not working for me at all. Also unfortunately HUR over usb used to randomly freeze and reboot my headunit. Over WiFi I have the issue that when pressing FF the HUR skips always two songs instead of one except with Google play music where it is randomly sometimes working good sometimes also skips two tracks. With the Chinese dongle I don't have these issues.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joel.r1:
Hi All,

my recent OBD2 purchase is unfortunately not working on my Samsung Galaxy S7 under R-Link.

Once I have to select in between OBD2 and AA at first run, AA is running as usual, but when I select OBD2, I not longer have access to AA ('cannot connect' message).

I went through most of the 255 pages of this forum, where I've seen similar problem, but didn't saw a fix. I may have missed the solution.

Alternately, I could be dumb enough to not have captured a critical step, which may also be a valid scenario :p

or Emil, you were right, it does not work on some Samsung devices...

To be honest, I'm not using Torque Pro, my only objective is to be able to use a modified w*ze version with AA without being locked out by Google...

Any suggestion from users who have a S7 + OBD2 working on RLink ?

Thanks, OH
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=3583906]matrixx1[/MENTION] - Yeah I heard about the bug, about skipping but was never able to reproduce it.... [MENTION=9714213]joel.r1[/MENTION] - Are you using the latest beta?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joel.r1:
Yes, I tried with standard and Beta. BTW how can I be sure this is Beta, both looks really identical :)

Android Auto Hacker is running in background. AA try to connect, but exact message is 'Android Auto cannot connect now. Check your Android Phone'.

On the phone, I've got twice the message 'an USB device cannot connect on your phone' - or similar.

I also tried multiple usb mode (file, image, charging) and alternate mode to recover data in OBD2.

Many thanks

OH
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you send me a bug report please?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 9h05t:
Is there a setting or a fix to just make speed camera notifications appear once and disappear based on the 3 audio settings we make?

Right now it stays on top of the screen with the distance counting down.

My issue here is that while the notification stays on top, there is no way I can interact with the rest of the screen.

It seems like it keeps refreshing itself, even if i try to dismiss it, it will reappear again.

See video and notice the little "x" or "+" at the top right corner:

Tried searching the thread but dont think anyone had brought this up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tge101:
So, my car has GPS capability but I don't have the subscription to use it. Will the tap limit be disabled? I'd love to try but I have no reason for this app other than to use it for that.

Edit - my question is about disabling the Android Auto limitations.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] James4.0:
Are you able to add a transmission gear indicator? Just a numeric 1 thru 10 value would be perfect. Also, the ability to color code the gear # would be awesome. I am using by car for autocross and majority of the time I will be in 2nd gear, so being able to change 3rd gear to a different color would help in knowing what gear the car is in.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] solarius:
Hi,

Hoping that I can get some help here... This used to work a long time ago but I don't seem to be able to have it work anymore. Followed the instructions on the latest version, what I'm using is an Audi head unit with a Oneplus 6T. When i install the app I manage to get the notification screen after I select to start the OBD2AA, to follow the instructions on the phone. After that I would only see my phone on my list of Audi Smartphone devices available for connect, but when I try to click on it to connect, nothing happens
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mazubo:
Hello, I have a Sony XAV AX3000 head unit, and a OnePlus 6T. I've followed the instructions from the original post, however when I click on the option which would show the ability to select Torque on the head unit, all it says is "go back to Android Auto". I've checked, and have seen that my phone is connected to torque via the notification on the phone.

Any thoughts? Cheers,

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] I am a very happy man today as your wonder app has started working again. My only issue now is that Google maps looks like a negative photograph, the colours look wrong. Is there a fix for this? Thank you again.

**Update**

Still very pleased to have the progress you have made Emil. However tested it further today and found while the app now loads up on AA where it wouldn't in the past it is now not pulling any data from Torque so the gauges arnt working. Check Torque it's self and it's defiantly displaying data so there seems to be an issue between Torque and OBD2AA. Looking forward to your advice.

Thanks

So this app won't work (3rd party apps) if you have AAMirror. And aastream?

That's a shame.... I was willing to use this app for bypassing the lock screen.

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] would it be possible to develop an app which can achieve this?

Bêta 3.4. Samsung S9+

Worked at first for 5 minutes and totally crashed. Even restarting phone and car didn’t fixed it.

Cleared cache and deleted data of AA and Obd2AA fixed problemes .

But now Messenger stop working. When trying to read message I got annonce saying "something wrong happens try later."

Also navigation voice from wake is not coming from car but my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

I'm back on working on AA related prohjects to the end of this month, this includes obd2aa, HUR and AAGateWay.

[MENTION=1430968]*justintime*[/MENTION] - in that case use AAUnlock. [MENTION=4147343]mazubo[/MENTION] - do you have any other 3rd party apps installed? [MENTION=9084669]jeromeo01[/MENTION] - is that happening if you are not running obd2aa as well?

Anyone who cannot get it to connect in a 50 miles radius are from Wakefield UK by any chance? Till now I wasn't able to reproduce the issue of not being able to connect, I'm willing to travel and meet the person face to face and try to debug find the solution there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m0tyrider:
Don't mind a cheap one, as long as it works 100% of the time.

Maybe some others will have some recommendation's :)

Same problem here. Did clean install of 1.3 beta, Uninstalled 1.2. First time at startup on AA all gauges appeared and working, conversion of C to F seemed to be fixed as well. After disconnection from AA attempted to reestablish connection when the car and headunit was turned on, unfortunately, the OBD2 turned on but all gauges were not connected and not displaying data feeds from ODB adapter. I reset my phone and OBDAA reestablished connection when connected with AA. Again, after disconnect, and reconnect, guages were completely blank. Possible issue here... Reloaded 1.2

I've been pleased with my PLX adapters, a little pricy, but they work. I have 2 or 3 of the original Kiwi BT, 1 Kiwi2 BT and 1 Kiwi3 BT/WiFi. I like having one for each car so I don't have to move them and in the car profile can define the adapter to use.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
Emil...

Just wondered if there was any value in providing another bug report. I just got a new phone (Pixel XL - thanks to Google replacing my Nexus 6P with battery issues!), and I installed torque and the 1.3a beta. I still have issues getting the gauges to show any of the Prius specific extended PIDs. I tried showing MG1-RPM, MG2-RPM, EngineRPM, and MPG as a quick test on my way to work this morning (in that order). The only gauge that worked was the MPG value. The first three were Prius-specific PIDs, and the 4th was a "standard" PID in Torque.

I have not tried reverting back to the 1.1 version that was half-working for me before, but I don't think a new phone would make a difference there.

I am running the OTA release of Oreo (8.0.0) on the Pixel XL.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks for everybodies feedback, it looks like I fixed some problems new ones have arisen. I will have a very busy weekend, I'm travelling up to the highlands tomorrow and only returning home on Monday, so probably I won't be able to work on this project for a couple of days. Beside the issues mentioned here, it seems that version 1.3 doesn't play nice with Android Auto 2.6 (today's update). I might be contacting some of you who reported problems in private, for more details and bug reports in order to be able to iron out all the problems.

Thank you for bearing with me till we get it to perfection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Added 1.3b beta.

Had no time to test if the fixes work, but should.

Also added possibility to alternative pulling, see which method works better for you.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I wish it would be a holiday but it's work. Driving around 1000 miles, collecting about 90.000 jpg from various photographers, process, resize them and upload them.... So not to much joy :)

I haven't got the chance to check the logs which you sent me this evening, but if you have time you can try the version 1.3b with both ways normal and with alternative polling enabled as well (that might actually fix it for you)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
I actually factory reset my phone again today and installed Torque Pro and OBD2AA fresh. I used the 1.3b version but still no Prius PIDs are working. I scattered some around my 6 gauges and the Prius-specific gauges all read zero. The others MPG and OBD adapter voltage worked fine. I tried both polling methods with same result.

I can pull logs if needed. Thanks again for your efforts on this app!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm just wondering if the very first version was actually pulling the right data or just some data? I will try to focus on it after the weekend.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spiff72:
From what I saw, the data made sense (RPM values) for the motors and the current draw from the HV battery.
