So, like promised the update from my first test drive:

OBD2 is working like a charm! No lagging or hanging, works just fine, like before.

6 tap limit remover is NOT working. Got some stupid waiting progress bar and a beep afterwards. Never seen this before, must be new in AA 3.x.

Bluetooth audio is working, music and the traffic cam alarms, but:

Switching back volume after an alarm works not for Bluetooth audio, only for radio. Bluetooth audio volume is too low after switching back from an alarm to music. In the past, this worked well on my HU.

Anyway, since I am mostly listen to radio, I am more than happy at the moment that OBD2 and the traffic cam alarm is working well again when listening to the radio.

Emil, thank you again for your phantastic work! :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
Emil you genius! It works!!! Thank you so much for sticking through with this!

Just made the first trip and the dash is once more complete. App worked fluent and flawlessly on my Samsung S6 no root with Sony XAV AX 100.

Highest regards
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you for this. Ok I will investigate the 6 tap limit, further. As for the bluetooth audio, as I have described in the OP, this will depend a LOT on how this is implemented on the headunit/car it's a hack so it might not work on all cars, I consider it a bonus if it works if not then sorry, but yeah I wan't to make sure that the 6 tap limit is removed....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thank you.

Just wait for my next idea, which will allow you to turn a cheap Android TV stick, into a Wifi receiver for Android Auto on any car, allowing people to upgrade to wireless without the need of paying huge extra frees and without needing to wait for Android P (if that will ever arrive on their phone)....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Since you can turn off the alarms for the speed cams, or use the speaker of the phone for it, this is completely ok for me. Just want to mention it, since I noticed the difference, no complaining at all. ;)

6 tap limit remover working would be great! I hope you will find a solution!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] compnerd2k7:
Thank you Emil. Finally good to see the gauges back. However, I am experiencing a lag which was not there when the app worked last time months back. Am I missing something? Using it on OnePlus5T running Android 8.1.0, latest version of Android Auto with Ford SYNC3
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] esteptoporoto:
Should I buy the app again ???

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Is the lag with the Gauges or with the whole Android Auto?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No, simply log in with your credentials to XDA Labs and download the new version.

Hmm all I s set, but nothing visible in AA
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you be more specific please?

- Does AA not start at all, or is OBD2AA not showing?

- What's your phone/car combination please?

- What do you see on the phone screen?

- What do you see on the car screen?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
I'd buy that!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well I do hope that a few people will be interested in it :D

Phone: Oneplus 5 (Android 8.1 stock)

Car: opel astra k st

Aa its working, obd2aa is not showing in aa.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Have you followed the steps from the OP, especially point 6? By the sounds of it you have missed that step.... uninstall obd2aa, plug the phone in to the car, wait for aa to start, reinstall it and follow the steps exactly as below.

Install

Make sure you do not have any other 3rd party app Android Auto app installed.

Open the app and hopefully it will be quite self explanatory on how to set it up (choose colours, set gauge number, etc)

Open Android Auto (on the phone), go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times, once you are a developer from the 3 dotted right corner menu select "Start Headunit Server" (ROOT users can skip this step!)

Close Android Auto

MAKE SURE YOUR SCREEN IS UNLOCKED and connect to the car, when prompted which app to use select "OBD2AA" and always (this needs to be done one time only) - If you are a HUR user select Android Auto and always!

Select the last tab on the right, by pressing it again you should see an app selector and choose OBD2AA

Give it a bit of time to start pulling the data from Torque.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Max-SK:
What means any 3rd party aa apps?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
CarStream, etc - other unofficial Android Auto apps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Max-SK:
Ok, understand. Tomorrow I willing try again and give feedback
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
App stopped working for me after updating today. Everything worked great on my drive to work this morning. Now after updating I get a message across the top of my head unit "Connection failed. Please check if your mobile device is unlocked." Phone is unlocked. Phone stays on my home screen AA never launches. Updating the app was the only thing i changed. I uninstalled AA_Unlock and OBD2AA in an attempt to reinstall. I don't see any mention of AA_Unlock in the instructions. Is that no longer needed? I reinstalled OBD2AA and tried again, same message.

I'm using a rooted Pixel XL.

No other 3rd party AA apps.

Thanks,

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi Mike.

No there is no more need for the unlocker, this version will work on both rooted and un-rooted devices, however there is a small change on the first run of the app, which I have documented in the instructions in the OP. Basically after installing OBD2AA, on the first occasion you connect your phone, you will need to have the screen unlocked, and chose the default app for action, you will have a selection between Android Auto and OBD2AA, you will need to choose OBD2AA. See OP for all details.

Delete
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Sorry should have mentioned I did that.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Chose obd2aa and got a message to grant it su rights. Will try and clear play services.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Sorry to delete thought Emil beat me to the punch. Gps clear was the only other thing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
That is odd... if the problem persists please enabled debugging in obd2aa settings, reconnect, and then capture a bug report. Also you might want to try to reboot both the phone and the car/headunit just to make sure something is not stuck from the old world.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Will do, thanks. Awesome app btw thanks for that as well.[emoji106]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShannonPricePhoto:
I'm not getting the choice to pick ob2aa as default. If deleted AA and reinstalled and re installed obd2aa as well...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Is your phone unlocked when you plug it in to the car?

Try going to Settings -> Apps -> All apps -> Google Play Services -> Defaults -> Clear Defaults ( Not clear data!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Still no go. As soon as I uninstall OBD2AA, Android Auto launches again without issue. I just read up on how to capture a bug report but I'm out of time for tonight. Will try and capture one tomorrow.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sorry to read that. Let me quickly recap, you got the choice between Android Auto and OBD2AA, you selected OBD2AA, granted root and nothing happens on the phone, and the car says to check the phone?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Correct. I actually was able to get a bug report. I just emailed it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ShannonPricePhoto:
Ok that worked! Up and running!

Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
It looks like a timing issue between the hu server starting and obd2aa checking on a rooted phone.

I let Emil know and sent bug reports.

The work around is to denie obd2aa root access and manually start the hu server.

That works for me until he can look into it.

Hope that helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Cool thanks. Emil said the same via email. Going to try it on my way to work tomorrow.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
Happened to me too.

First start was perfect.

Off course I had couple of messages asking to remove all unauthorized 3rd party apps.

I Turned car off phone and I couldn't reconnect to HU.

I had to delete app and reinstall and restarted phone.

This happened one more time. But now every thing is working...

Thanks.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] compnerd2k7:
Just the gauges - more noticeable when monitoring engine rpm. Checked on phone directly in the Torque app and there is no lag in pulling data from OBD2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeromeo01:
It's funny as my Rpm has no lag but some others do. (Ex power kw)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
I want to correct myself regarding the Bluetooth audio.

I was not aware yesterday that "Use Bluetooth for Audio Output" was not enabled in the settings of OBD2AA.

If I do so, I will get a big red screen when connecting, that says something like "version of AA is not compatible with the version of the HU".
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
I have this first generation chromecast thingy lying around....are you referring to those? I'd definitely buy the app !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
One more thing, I noticed.

It seems that sometimes OBD2AA is not closed completely, even if you close it in the overview of the active apps.

I noticed that, because I got speed cam alarms, even the app was closed. Also OBD2AA uses GPS all the time and draines the battery while it is hanging in the background.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Sadly it's not working on my Corsa . After selecting OBD2AA always, music is played from my Samsung phone. I have lost Waze. Please how do I get AA working again what setting to change back.

PS Phone notification saying "Android Auto connected to your car" . I am out all day and was hoping to use Waze to get around.

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm not in front of the pc yet, simply uninstall obd2aa
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=5437072]bggold[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5398355]horrorshow21[/MENTION] it seems that restarting Google Play Services does affect the obd2aa app as well, I'll investigate that till then as you have mentioned simply please deny root to app and do like non-rooted users.

[MENTION=5169360]barry666[/MENTION] - app is on xda labs as stable

[MENTION=9084669]jeromeo01[/MENTION] - if this happens again can you please try to force-stop obd2aa and then try again and see if that does the trick?

[MENTION=2093186]compnerd2k7[/MENTION], [MENTION=9084669]jeromeo01[/MENTION] - Lag in polling will be dealt at a later stage sorry inconvenience. At the moment the focus is on getting everybody to be able to run the app, also I need to updated some very overdue things on my other app (HUR) and I'm going on holiday on the 17th of July, so I don't want to make promises. Also since now I did some training in Java, I realise how ugly is my previous code so at some stage this year I'm planning to do a major refactoring on both of my apps. A question is does the lag changes depending on the number of gauges?

[MENTION=8646602]Kingcraft[/MENTION] - Thanks for the updated. I will investigate the close issue.

Hi Emil, thanks for the good work!!! I have oneplus 3t non root and Ford sync 3..

I have 2 questions, 1st, do i have to start and stop Head unit server each time i want to use it? Also, i connected just fine with all the gauzes responding perfectly, but if i switch back to AA from obd2aa and try to get to obd2aa again, AA stops on the phone. Don't know why.. I 'll check it more later.. Thanks in advance..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

1) no you can leave the headunit server running all the time.

2) Also, i connected just fine, but if i switch back to AA from obd2aa, AA stops on the phone - Sorry not following this, what do you mean you switch back to AA from obd2aa?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] denis_kos:
I have obd2aa on the screen of my car and everything is working fine. If i switch to AA screen in order to use the maps for example, when i try to hit the top right button to enter obd2aa screen again, the Car screen freezes and the AA at the phone exits or crashes.. dont knot exactly..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
1) By top right bottom, I guess you mean bottom right button, right? (the last icon in the icons row).

2) is this happening all the time?

3) Can you please capture a bug report (see op how to)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] horrorshow21:
Thanks Emil and bggold. Gauges were back for my morning commute.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] denis_kos:
Yes thats what i mean. I'm at work currently so i 'll check it in a few hours, but 3-4 times that i checked it, it did that way.

Also i have to mention that in AA in developer options i have checked Video output 720p, 1080p and unknown sources.

I 'll do that yes, thanks mate.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Is "Use Bluetooth for Audio Output" any use for HUR?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No, neither the tap limit, those are features already implemented in HUR.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Thought as much, great work getting this working, although obviously it never affected me anyway ;)

---------- Post added at 16:05 ---------- Previous post was at 16:01 ----------

I presume on HUR i literally just need to select "Android Auto" always and thats it? no headunit server, no root, etc?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gotimebort:
Hello Emil Borconi:

Just wanted to say thanks:good: for the new version. Playing with it on a 2017 Honda head unit and is working good.

If I may I would like to ask about selecting a background image for the app . . .

There are a few directories to choose from and all stem from /mnt. Is it looking for an image stored on the head unit or the phone?

I seem to remember in the old version I could select an image from the download directory on the phone.

No matter though, just curious .:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Background image should be located on the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Max-SK:
So instruction 6 not happen. Screen unlocked and no prompt
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Try going to Settings -> Apps -> All apps -> Google Play Services -> Defaults -> Clear Defaults ( Not clear data!)

Then try to plug the phone in again with the screen being unlocked.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Good evening Emil, I have uninstalled and installed OBD2AA and followed your instructions, on item six I selected OBD2AA and ticked only once ( just so it doesn't hang and can disconnect the phone and then select AA again only once ). OBD2AA just gives no Projection on the cars display selecting AA and Waze works.

I will have a go at getting a bug report tomorrow, can you please refresh how to take one.

PS I am running Oreo Android 8.0

Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sorry to read that....

How to produce bug report?

Step 1 you need to enabled debugging in OBD2AA app, then follow this instruction set:

2. Enabling Developer Mode

Open Settings > About phone.

Scroll down to the Build number.

Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.

Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.

At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).

Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).

Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.

3. Capturing a Bug Report

It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.

Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.

Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.

Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.

Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)

Download the bug report to your computer.

Send the bug report by email to borconie@gmail.com
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] compnerd2k7:
Seems the lag is not limited to gauges but sometimes it does not switch between Google maps and the OBD2AA. Couldn't check with reduced number of gauges but am happy that the app is working and more importantly I can monitor the tyre pressures :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Max-SK:
Hi Emil, that tip for clearing defaults saved my day. App is working. You made again a perfect work. Thank you ??

You should select run obd2AA as always not AA

[MENTION=5169360]barry666[/MENTION] - If you are a HUR user make sure you are using the beta version not the stable.

[MENTION=351703]froader[/MENTION] - It looks like whent he rooted script stop/starts the headunit server it also affects the obd2aa apps, I need to look deeper into this, till then simply do not grant root rights to obd2aa and make sure that the headunit server is started manually.

[MENTION=4184038]funkyirishman[/MENTION] - Connection problems with obd2aa and waze?

[MENTION=406850]quailallstar[/MENTION] - Please email me to borconie@gmail.com

I got some bug reports and I will investigate further it seems that Waze & obd2aa does cause some problems to some users.
