I would like to add that it look the reason for volume of streamed spotify being constantly lowered are notifications which pop up every now and again with street name - it happens all the time while driving. which one is it so I coudl disable - it is not clear in notification setting - there is 4 various types of notifications listed under OBD2 for AA. These notifications pop up also when my phone is not connected to USB/HU, e.g. today I driven without connection, listened Spotify via BT streaming and had the same, so looked at the phone and confirmed notifications keep popping up. I guess apk should sleep when not in use really. Now I'm away of car, and still have notification about with street name. I suspect also my phone battery is highly drained by the apk as it is all the time active - just ~2h ago I had 100%, ~1h ago I had 85% and only did single 3minutes call in the meantime, and now have 76%.

Also, I think OBD2AA (as well as WiFi Launcher for HUR) lack some switch to off the apk completely. Say yesterday I tried to use some OBD diagnostic software to dig in my car (change some settings), and had huge issues connecting BT with OBD2 interface - I suspect it coudl be that both OBD2AA and WiFi Laucher were interfering because phone was connecting to car's bluetooth. Such switch coudl be handly also to try quickly/easily AA Gateway in mode without WiFi Launcher for HUR runninng but manual WiFi/Hotspot/AAServer starts - currently I have to uninstall WiFi Launcher to rulling it out in my tries to get AA Gateway newer version (which still do not work on my phones/car)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] epsonix:
FYI, I uninstalled temporarily the current version (3.6b) as it drains my phone battery with rate of around 10-12% per hour on top of normal phone drain - phone over 3.5h of use (bearely used) has 56% of battery currently. I'm looking forward for future improved versions or advises on how to configure the apk correctly so it does not annoys with too many notifications and does not drain battery when not needed and does not interferee(possibly) with use of phone for OBD diagnostics with different apks (e.g. AlfaOBD).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PeQuEsan:
May be you're sufffering something I reported some time ago in this thread: ODB2AA doesn't close itself when only connected using BT to your car... you must close it manually using notification. If you connect the phone using USB to be able to use AA in the car, then yes, OBD2AA closes when you disconnect the USB.

I've done a workaround using a Tasker profile that "clicks" OBD2AA notification when disconnected of car's BT... but definitelly that's something to be addressed.

Hello I confirm that the carrillon is painful, if you have an idea how to delete it. I've handed over an old version and we've got the full notification.

I tested Android auto 5 and obd2aa didn't work. ?

Edition:

After removing Android Auto 5 and removing the notification it works just fine

I use obd2aa 3.4 beta 3 and I have well the radar display from 1000m to 0m

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DuBichNga:
I followed the steps correctly and it didn't work then i cleared cache and tried again. Screen prompts with "Android Auto cannot connect right now. When it is safe to do so, please check your Android phone."

Nvm got it working after uninstall and messing with it great app displays guages well
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chuppito:
Hi, after testing, we have more message notifications and calls if disabled. If you can cut that sound, would be great. Thank you

Hey Emil, have you found something?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] toolworker:
Works on a 2020 Hyundai Kona EV, displaying custom PIDs including power usage.

Current Beta version of app (3.6b) and Android Auto 4.9.

Thanks, Emil!

(Is there a way to display one decimal place instead of two?)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Sorry for the delay.

Finally had a look at it, and it seems the notification thing is intended to work like this.

Basically starting with Android Auto 5.0 we have an option to mute the notification sound, in which case no notification is being removed from the screen till we manually remove it. While Google have not confirmed that this is actually an intended behaviour, I suspect it is. Logic behind is pretty simple, if there is no sound and it's automatically being removed chances are really high that we will miss that notification completely. In the past there was a trick if you cancelled a notification in the background, that got removed from within AA as well. This does not work any more suspecting that it's tied with above theory.

For the headlight control, I've tested it now and it seems to work as intended on my OnePlus 7 Pro, but I'm sure others might have problems otherwise they won't report it, [MENTION=2115799]FormelLMS[/MENTION] what phone are you using?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Hi [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

Thanks for trying those things out. So on your OnePlus, you have Google maps bright even when you're switching on the headlights? Dang.

I'm on a Pixel 3 XL and it switches to dark when switching on the headlights, as it unfortunately do in Android Auto.

I've tried your other app in playstore for only change this behavior, but it doesn't work on Pixel, too.

Of course I'm on the latest software version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Is it stock ROM you have on the Pixel? I have a Pixel 2 XL so I will try on that as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] chuppito:
Hi, the same on pixel android auto goes by itself at night while it's still daylight. I tried to cut the headlights and it stays in night mode. I tested in the developer settings of Android auto and same result

Too bad for notifications, I leave them cut and I stay on an older version obd2aa (3.4 bêta 3)

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] epsonix:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] reminding my post from last week #3126, in Alfa Romeo Giulia when I change from 0 position headlights position on car's panel to Auto, your apk crashes every time when Overwrite Day/Night is on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Hey Emil, I'm on stock rom.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes looking and Pixel does not override the colors.

It looks to be a bug in Android.

Based on this: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/UiModeManager#setNightMode(int) it should work, documentation nowhere says it won't work. It only says that with API 29, the original state will be reverted when the app exists the car mode.

Sadly it's a void function so no return, but after setting the value (to day or night as it should be) and checking the value with getNightMode() the value is not changed.

Question if the bug is in AA or somewhere in Android Auto....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ok I might have found why:

E/UiModeManager: Night mode locked, requires MODIFY_DAY_NIGHT_MODE permission

But that is a system only permission and documentation does not mention it anywhere....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Looking at the source code of Android: https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../com/android/server/UiModeManagerService.java there is a new function there:

https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../android/server/UiModeManagerService.java#507 and it is used to check when you want to toggle day/night: https://android.googlesource.com/pl.../android/server/UiModeManagerService.java#452 however in the documentation of UIModeManager there is no mention of anything like this.

I will need to check if I can use reflection somehow to overcome this, or any other way to hack around it.

F*!KING GOOGLE, why do they keep messing things up.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Wow, Emil. Thats hard to understand, why google is doing such a mess. I really often have asked if it could be changed, so that we have a bright screen at the day and a dimmed screen at night. All I heard is, that this is intended and now they block the workarounds there. They are trolling the users.

Much of what they do, doesn’t make the biggest sense.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmcisal:
I'm having trouble getting this to run. I've tapped AA 10 times to go into developer mode, started the AA header, went to open plug in the phone, selected OBD2 and nothing. Phone is not rooted Samsung Galaxy S10E. Idk what I'm doing wrong, but I don't have a android auto app in my apps list, I'm on Android 10, AA is built into the OS now. I can still search and find the app, I have to go to permission to get to the settings screen, but that's the only AA screen I have. Any help or advice?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gimbit:
Hi.

I noticed that for me tapping the header 10 times did not work.

I had to go to settings then tap version at the bottom 10 times.

Ran the server. selected OBD2AA(always) and I got an error on the car saying it could not run android auto.

Any tips?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zac.davide:
Hello guys...

I can't see obd2AA when android auto is running in wireless mode, but I can see it if the phone is plugged by USB cable.

Can you help me to fix this issue?

Hey, we purchased this, app...no developer can help? WTF!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 0xyg3n:
Heya Emil, I recently got the newest Nissan Navara with the newest Android Auto. It looks like the latest version of AA makes your app crash as it tries to launch. The app crashes before it opens and the headunit throws up an error "Android Auto has stopped unexpectedly. Please check the device for errors". It does that several times before something times out and it stops trying to launch the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] txenglan:
I've given up on Android Auto. I have 3 Android phones and it only works on one of them. Google broke it in the Oct/Nov timeframe. I specifically bought a headunit just so I could run AA but it only worked for a week or so before Google broke it. This is the reason people dump Google and end up using iOS.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] eolivera1965:
It wont work, I tried to uninstall and reinstall, updated android auto and it wont open, it automatically comes with this error. Could not connect to torque pro, is this app installed in your device?

Wth?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] macak_pl:
Two cases

Hi everybody,

There I'm heavy daily user of this app for monitor DPF/ exhaust temperature in my car. It's works very well. At this moment I have one feature request and one issue.

Feature request: Usually if I drive the car, we prefer to have map view. It will be nice to have possibility add custom notification (eg if DPF or oil pressure is over written value). The will be the same as for engine temperature and low fuel.

Bug/not bug. Let's say 'issue': I found that if I chose OBD2AA as default app for USB, the app and Android Auto works perfectly in KIA Optima. But i can't connect to Skoda Octavia. Of course if Android Auto is selected as default app, both cars are connecting without issues. There is one 'but'. When AA is primary app for USB, OBD2AA took long time to get data from torque. Anybody have the same case or solution?

Mac.

Why I can't see it with android fuc*ing auto in wireless fuc*inh mode????
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Narmo70:
Hello everyone,

I need your help because when I use odb2aa with my rlink 2 of my car, I always have a message on my rlink 2 of my car which tells me that Android auto could not be connect and if I plug in while driving, I have another message on my rlink 2 which tells me that the 1st connection cannot be done while driving while it is not the 1st time that I have connected my phone !

If I delete odb2aa, I no longer have these 2 messages. My phone is a Samsung a3 2017, root with updated stock rom.

I use Android auto up to date with patcher phenotype.

Do you have a solution?

Thank you in advance for your reply

TPMS

Hi, I've recently downloaded this app and in the process of setting it up. One issue I'm having is setting the PID's for TPMS. When I go to the TPMS menu, and click next to one of the sensors to select a PID, the app freezes and closes. I'm running a OnePlus 7T. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

James

Edit: After searching and reviewing multiple posts - I believe the solution has already been documented here.

did you sort this i have the same issue on my OnePlus 7T Pro
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jaygee83:
When using OBD2AA, I can't use maps to navigate to destination. After inputting a destination the screen goes black very briefly (as soon as I start driving, if stationary) and then when it comes back, maps doesn't have the destination any more. I've tried both stable and beta version, with same result. When I do the same on regular AA, it works fine. Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] gakamp12:
Found that on my OP7TP McLaren does the same... I found it shows only if you open torque before opening the app. It worked when I was unrooted but now it isn't. Also when I connect to AA it doesn't automatically load torque anymore either... Tried to uninstall, reinstall, stable & beta version, clearing cache in AA, Torque & OBD2AA. Also did Google play services once. It all works for me but I have to start torque before I open OBD2AA or plug it in
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dgc333:
I can't seem to get AA into developer mode no matter how many times i tap the header. I have a Moto G7 with Android 9.

I don't believe you tap header anymore.

Go to About > Tap the gear icon on the top right > Scroll to the bottom > Tap Version until Developer Mode is enabled.

Torque is not being opened automatically. I have to manually do it. Any work around?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Which method /option you use? Look in the first Thread.

Have you Torque PRO?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Master32:
Yes I have torque pro paid not cracked and using self mode.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brannons24@gmail.com:
None of the 5 options to select for transmission temp work. 3 of them shoe 0, the other two just show 32*. It works fine in the torque app, and with an aeroforce gauge. This is the most important thing I need to monitor with this and it doesn't work. Please fix
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Can you see temp in Torque Pro? If not, there is you issue. Find out which one you are using in Torque Pro and make sure it is the same. I have the same issue with another temp setting, if I pull the wrong one it doesn't work. This is true if you added PIDs like the Ford ones. I have also had issues where some PIDs are not displaying.

For this I find if I start car, connect Torque Pro, and view level, then connect to AA, it displays. If you can see it in Torque Pro and have the same pid set in as it should work. Check the pid again and be careful. View it working on the Torque Pro app, and the plug it in as is, with luck it should work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brannons24@gmail.com:
Yes, I can see it in torque pro. Torque pro has "transmission fluid temp" (gm method 1, 2, and 3), and also "transmission temperature" (method 1 and 2). In torque pro its the fluid temp method 2 that works, perfectly. In the obd2aa app, the last two options aren't even there, but the 3 transmission fluid temps are displayed as method 1, method 1, and method 3. I have all 3 of thode selected.

Method 1 and 2 in torque pro, the PIDs settings are visually the same, so not sure what's going on there, but method 1 does not read. Only method 2.

I tried your suggestion, viewed the temp in torque pro, which was at 144*. Connected to radio, and the obd2aa gauge for the second method 1 (whish I assume is method 2) showed 86.5*, so different then the 32* they all usually display (or 0*). But that wasn't the correct reading, and it never changed over a 36 mile drive.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
I will need to recheck, I use method 2 and last I used it, it worked, but I haven't really driven in over a month, but will try to recheck later.

Hi, I have OnePlus 5.

I was trying to connect with the car as per your steps, But I faced 2 issues

Issue no.1 - when I opened this app, it failed to find the torque pro app.

After opening & closing the app more than 2 times it showed all the features and after sometime "fail to find the torque pro app"error came again.

Issue no.2 - when I tried to start android auto in car, it failed to start & keeps on showing me "Device not supported error" even after changing from 2 original cables.

Please help me out.

Hi Emil,

I am facing the same issue with the Blitzer.de app.

It is running and shows up speed cams while driving by sound, widget, android notification on top of the screen and a box at the bottom.

After reading the hints which you offered in the last post I enabled unknown sources in AA and will test again tomorrow.

To complete my post: the packages name is: de.blitzer.plus

Are you using OBD2AA version 1.3b from the beta channel, because version 1.2 does not support speedcam warnings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] renndachserl:
Yes, 1.3.b
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
What is your problem, I've don't understand. On mine blitzer.de notifications are working like a champ
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] renndachserl:
Well basically it is the same problem which [MENTION=4314520]jb.traveller[/MENTION] has got with camsam: No notifications on the AA headunit from the app.

But let me test again today before we do any further troubleshooting.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
You can test it at home. With the app lockito from play store you can fake the GPS position to a route along a known traffic camera. So you can try in the Android auto app if there are the toast messages. When there are toast messages, you will get headsup notifications in Android auto headunit, too.

So you can test without driving.

You have to enable two things first to get this to work:

1. In blitzer.de Einstellungen - Warnung auf der smartwatch

2. In Handy Einstellungen: search for Benachrichtigungszugriff and be sure to have it enabled for Android Auto and OBD2AA

I think you're German speaking, so I've written the settings in German to help. Hopefully I'm right.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] renndachserl:
Hi, thank you very much. Yes I'm from Germany too.

Tested it with lockito and got the attached result.

Maybe you can verify that this is the right "toast"

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Yes, confirmed. This is the right toast.
