Sorry but noob here. I have a lot of question if someone can give me a little of his time would be great :) Just bought ibiza fr

- Is it safe to buy and use an obd2 adapter? can they track this? can they avoid my warranty?

- can you confirm that with torque i can only see a few parameters w/o accidentally edit somethings and mess up car's config?

- what adapter should i buy?

-i tried to install cartostream some days before and i get black screen. I was stucked until i disconnected the device (p9 Lite). Can i have same issue with this?

Thank in advance for the help

Would you think it's possible to add support for aftermarket TPMS ? , Or dose anyone know of a kit that you can connect to the CAN ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] :
In a few words, if your car have android auto (probably it has) then you don't have a problem, just take a generic cheap Bluetooth adapter and it will work. You won't have any problem.

First check that android auto running through your phone to the car ok.

Then read the 1st page.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Huawei generally doesn't play nice with android Auto. You shouldn't face the same problem with this app however if you do you are free to request a refund at any given stage.

As for Bluetooth adapter it's safe.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Uhh a bit more complicated, theoretically yes but... Every custom tpms sensor have different readings so it will be difficult to generalize... If the customer sensor can be fed trough torque it will be nice and easy....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bobbysue2:
I have a 2017 ford fiesta st, with a galaxy s7 edge. I have an obd2 Bluetooth adapter synced to torque pro (working) and I have obd2aa all setup and ready to go but I can't get anything to pop up on the dashboard with android auto. What am I missing? I have the standard version and my phone isn't rooted
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Are you using Android Auto 3.0? If yes have you applied the patch as per described and provided in opening post?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bobbysue2:
Yes i am. I realized I overlooked that step after I made the post! Should I stop android auto from auto updates?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No you can leave auto update on as long as you have applied the patch provided, that will make the app work with AA 3.0 as well.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Vanni47:
Brilliant app, patch worked a treat. Thanks a million EB very much appreciate all the hard work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bobbysue2:
Works perfectly! Thank you! I'm curious if there's an oil pressure gauge? I didn't see one but I'm not sure if maybe it's mislabelled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
This depends on your car, not on the ODB2-App.

If your car has no sensor for the oil pressure (or temperature), you will not be able to make a gauge for it.

You can only make gauges for parameters, your car offers you to read.

If you got to 'Adapter Status', from within the main menue of Torque Pro, it gives you a list of what values are available in you car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jerspiemar:
Can anyone help me, the app worked fine, but after the update from obd2aa and aa the program doesn't show anymore. Im still develloper in aa. And it allows programs from unknown source.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Did you install the patch? Please go to the first page of the thread and read the updated initial post from Emil.

After applying the patch, everything should work again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jerspiemar:
Yes it works again! Thank you!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Radish95:
This. I tried with waze app from playstore and i get balck screen too. I think it's my phone fault. Is there something that i can try to do or i'm locked with 2/3 stock app?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] juve010:
Thanks for this. App is great. Having an issue with the values being displayed on top of the gauges and are cut off. Using a 3 gauge style layout (with 1 larger gauge in center). Each gauge is setup as "clear" styles and each has custom gauge backgrounds. I'm also not getting any scales. Any ideas?

Bug Report: Traffic cam beeps override audio volume

Your app has become part of my every day driving and I don't want to miss it anymore. Thank you for that! However, while driving around a lot, I have discovered a bug that I wanted to bring to your attention.

Feature Description:

When nearing a traffic cam, the app produces an audible beep. The volume of Android audio or head unit tuner is lowered right before the beep and is returned to the previous setting after the beep. The beep pitch is increased right before approaching the traffic cam to warn the driver.

Bug Description:

The volume is not returned to normal after the last high pitched beep and the volume setting of the head unit is ignored. Android audio or head unit audio remains low and cannot be increased with volume controls.

Workaround:

The head unit volume level can be restored by switching to another source, e.g. from Android audio to tuner or from tuner to Android audio.

Tested with:

Sony XAV AX100

ODB2APP 2.0

Android Auto 3.0
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
With stock firmware your kind'a stuck you can try to use custom ROM's for your device, but please be aware that flashing custom ROM's can brick, so only consider that option if you are familiar with the procedures.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Can you email me your settings please? Select Export from settings and send them to borconie@gmail.com
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It's the media app's responsibility to act correctly on notifications (duck and unduck volume), personally I do not want to to lower it at all so I'm using a modified version of OpenRadio on my drives. I'm affraid I cannot do anything about that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Radish95:
Are custom ROM the only way for huawei devices? It's sound a little stupid :\ I can install a custom rom but it require time in find a good rom, backup/restore and so on..

So sad :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will say to send me a big report, but huawei makes that also very difficult because they disable logging by default, and even there is a hack to activate it I never seen a proper log report from any user with Huawei. From what I have gathered the culprit is the MIUI.

If Waze also fails I'm affraid you cannot do to much.

One last thing before using the nuclear option is try to uninstall and reinstall AA, in a couple of cases I saw that somehow when AA was installed the SDK implementation jar did not get installed rendering apps useless. Maybe try to download the AA apk from apkmirror.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] juve010:
Sent you the json file
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Radish95:
FYI i just reinstalled AA from playstore and everything started work. I need to test all a little before tell you it's ok, then i'll move on your app. In every case i'll not request refound, you are making great job. I'm still worried about obd2 adabtors, Seat tells me that "we can't ensure that with adaptors your warranty don't decaded because we don't know if read data can cause issue with the car or the central unit". I'm scared about this because i bought my car 2 weeks ago.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Honestly car deals will tell you anything.... obd2 readers are safe and they have NO impact on the warranty. OBD2 tuning boxes it's different... thos can actually void your warranty.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sven0xda:
feature request

Emil, great app & working good with the patch.

Could you add the option to change the color of the gauge data numbers? I have changed text color to a dark blue so they show up a a light colored custom background, and the gauge labels did change to blue but the data / numbers are still white.

Trying to get all text dark blue as in this pic...

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Guys, get the app patched, next Google Play Services will render it useless without it regardless of AA version you are using!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1seniorgeek:
Thanks that fixed it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbirch:
re "icy conditions"

Thanks for posting this. Finally I can shut up the icy conditions warning that happens 5-10 minutes down the road to work in -20c conditions !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Some updates.

I have been radio silent for a while but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything.

As it was expected the patch got out and others are sharing the knowledge on how-to get around this. Sadly this means (and I have a confirmation as well) that sooner or later Google will take action, it's only a matter of time. Therefore I'm trying hard to find an alternative way to keep this app going.

The bad news: - One of my idea is sadly not going to work. Google was careful to take all the steps needed to close all possible ways (well unless I somehow get my hands on the Google signing certificate, which is NEVER going to happen... :D ).

The good news: - I have managed to make HUR immune to this, now I need to find a way and implement this for all those who aren't using HUR.... AKA the ugly and difficult part, but probably doable so hopes aren't lost.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Gunde:
Such a bummer. I can live without the Torque stuff, but I'll really miss the speed cam warnings...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] scoobdude:
Keep up the good fight. I know I appreciate what you have done so far. And if there is anything anyone here can do to help please don't hesitate. I am sure someone might have an answer

Thank you for everything so far
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fbike:
Dear [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

As I wrote you an email, I had a trouble with drawed gauge and unit. If you don't want to display the name, unit value goes on top of gauge.

I had inserted a "." in gauge name in order to have an unit value displayed on down.

Here is the result.

These gauges have been designed on mod on torque.

But I think that it will be good idea to have a font color parameter and a size... look at the result.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1seniorgeek:
I have been trying to see the coloration between the Torque PIDS and ODBIIAA PIDS.

I have custom PIDS that work fine in Torque Pro but not in ODIIAA.

Example: PID =221e3f, short name =PTU temp, Unit type=C, equation = ((Signed(A)*256)+B)/12, ODB header= 703.

How do I transfer this to ODBIAA?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Can you explain a little more of how you were able to design the cluster? On mine, I get a vertical gap between gauges. Sure would be nice to maximize real estate and enlarge the numbers for better readability.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Just wanted to add that I bought a ScanTool ODBLink MX Bluetooth and it works quite a bit better than my cheap Amazon Elm adapter. Also smaller and firmware upgradable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
The warnings should work regardless of the blocks, applying patch will fix the problem (for now) and I'm trying to anticipate Google's next move, I'm just hoping they won't catch me off guard (aka I will be ready with a new workaround before they block this one)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Just replied to your email about this.... :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Don't worry it will fill the screen in the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yamarocket630:
Just to clarify, as a non-root user I need the stable version, not the beta, correct? I am aware of the need to patch the app with your tool.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
It does fit the screen, but some wasted space. The attached 8 and 12 gauge pics could probably fit a 5th column rather than another row making the gauges smaller. Essentially 10 gauges should fit with the same size gauges as the 8 gauge view.

Is this possible?

For reference this is a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX which is 800 x 480.

What resolution is the preview set to?

Thx
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
For non root users it doesn't make a difference. The beta version only incorporates the patch.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Will consider
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Thanks :good:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] psbankar:
Hi! In India we don't have speed cams nor the car provides all the kinds of sensors. So can I remove those functionalities from my app? Also I had one doubt. Since the phone will be connected to obd via Bluetooth, how will audio transfer take place to head unit because I read somewhere that usb only carries data and voice is transferred through Bluetooth.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
If you don't need the speed camera warnings simply disable it from the settings.

No audio is transferred over USB, exception phone call audio which use Bluetooth, but that will have no influence on OBD2.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slocav:
Just did the patch. Just wanted to say thank you for doing that and getting this working again. I wish Google would just let you make it and work. But thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elbubi:
Hi Emil.

First and foremost, thanks indeed for your great work and dedication.

I have one little doubt: since v2.0 CamSam is no longer needed for speed camera heads up to work? Are they fully standalone integrated in obd2aa now?

Kind regards and thanks in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yamarocket630:
Is it possible for the gauges display to have both a low and high warning level? For example, if I have a voltage gauge displayed, that has an 8v to 18v scale, I would ideally make the warning red zones on the gauge at less than 11v and over 15v.

If this has been discussed I'm sorry that I missed it but I can't find it.

EDIT: I almost forgot... THANK YOU! This is an awesome app. I've only played with it for a few minutes but I want to say that you are a genius.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] inlovewithsue:
Downloaded the patch, followed the instructions, but when I launch on my computer, a command prompt opens saying, "The system cannot find the file specified".

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Managed to get it sorted out. App works now. Thanks

I love this App!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi yes now camera warnings are fully integrated in obd2aa so you can safely uninstall CamSam
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will consider it for next version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] elbubi:
Thanks Emil.

Your app is getting better and better.

Congrats on your great job.

Hi

Sorry my english is not so good. So I don't understand "Cluster" even if I translated your post with google.

If your question is about my drawed gauge and about the arc, I had to fix start and angle of arc by hand and verify on my AA in the car because they are not WYSIWYG. Also I do the same with arc shift.

If your question was on arc gauge as in your attachment, these gauge are internal to ODB2AA and i think that emil uses several mask to fix text, arc, and so on !!!!!!

I hope in a next version, emil offers the ability to draw them

hi [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION],

Google broke your awesome app. I tried the patcher (admin mode) but it says

*IGNORE BELOW* i fixed it

Unkown error: * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037

could not read ok from ADB Server

* failed to start daemon

error: cannot connect to daemon

I tried running adb standalone and it works ok , any ideas ?

could I get the script for the patcher so I can try running it manually ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Goon818:
Try this. Copy your adb.exe in the folder from the Patcher and start it again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] froader:
Cluster is the term for multiple gauges and how they are arranged. We are on the same page. I wanted to get my gauges to fit like yours maximizing my AA screen. You have done this manually, which looks great. Yes, that will be great if Emil can give us some options to do this from the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amadare:
Thanks for the work and support you've given to the users here.

Just read all 145 pages here in a few days.

Getting a 2015 Smart Electric drive shipped to me across the country has everything I wanted except a nice radio. Looking at adding one of the Chinese android auto units probably running Android 6.

Questions:

Will I actually need an android phone? (I am iPhone user here).

Won't obd2aa run on the head unit along with torque pro ?

I have found another project some guy can capture all of the CAN bus data for the battery information but I think I'm going to somehow write something using the torque plugin module to get the data over to torque and eventually into obd2aa.

Does this all sound like I am wrapping my head around the process properly?

Thanks

Bobby

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mic18u:
The Chinese headunits don't run android auto usually just android in some form, so you can just run tourqe without obd2aa..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] amadare:
Okay thanks!

So this program IS meant to run on an android that is just being mirrored to a head unit which is locked down and not able to be manipulated like the Chinese units running a full blown android?

That helps a lot. It was still great reading the entire thread and seeing the passion Emil has shown for his program and wanting to make it as awesome at the thread makes it seem

Any chance the city can be added to the street name badge?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fbike:
Ok understood

I Will send a emil to [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] about a strange behavior of ODB2.AA when you use needle or not...

8-12 gauges on a 8,7" display :eek: or but it's fun. The difficulty is to make then readable. But I asked [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] to have the possibility of customizing data value display (size and color). In europe we use kPa instead of PSI, so injection pressure get up to 2 100000 (around 1800 bars). 28500 kPa is the value at 825 rpm (diesel engine)

I have customized gauge, but when you use arc gauge, there are some problems. Maybe a bug...

here are my jobs. Notice that color of rlink display depends on engine performance settings and/or users settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Looks like Google figured out how to prevent the app from working. Has been fine with your patch for weeks until tonight. Let me know if you need any info. I do run some beta Google apps, so it must have been one of those.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c3ph3us:
Hi. Same problem here, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the beta, applied the patch (no visible problem), but it didn't work...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] barry666:
Same here as well, did some updates on apps, but not AA , must have been another google app?

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Actually would have been through either Google+ or YouTube being updated, think the Google + update!

DAMN IT, Unistalled Google+ repatched OBD2AA tried in the car and the damage is done...... now workies :mad::( :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slocav:
Did Google kill it again? I did the patch last Saturday and it worked fine. Now a week later no go now. Ugh.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c3ph3us:
I haven't updated any Google app since 2 days ago, and it worked yesterday.

My phone automatically updated a few system (MIUI) apps yesterday, though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] barry666:
Mine was after today's update on Google +
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
That is not GOOD at all. Uhhh when I though I have a bit of time to catch up with myself here we go again... what a...

Can you guys please give me the following details:

1) Android Auto version

2) Google Play Services version

3) Google+ information

Also I will need some bug reports from the affected persons please, but they need to make sure that they enable force logging in Android Auto.

I have just updated to latest Google+, latest Google Play Services, latest Google app (some even in Beta) and it still works:

Google+ - 10.2

Google Play services - 12.5.20

AA - 3.0

Google - 7.23

Also running Oreo 8.1 beta so I'm on the latest bunch of the softwares and it still works, so the problem might be something else, or it might be a Server Side kill, which takes time to propagate and which is the ultimate nuke they can use.

I will really need to see some kind of bug reports and to be able to reproduce the problem in order to see what's causing it....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
Hi Emil, Just been out to my car and your app is no longer visible. I have had a SW update this morning on my Samsung S7 phone ( G903FXXU2DRB6 ) and yesterday the only Google apps that got updated were , Maps, YouTube Google text to speech. I did stop AA 3.0 from being updated, I am almost sure it was working yesterday when I popped out to town.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mikera67:
Out for me as well, don't remember updating anything.

One thing I did see driving today that might help is I did receive on my car screen was the engine has reached temp notification. The app itself is not visible anymore but somehow still displaying some info

Hope that helps
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jb.traveller:
My details.

AA 3.0 570554

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well this is bad... I will need to see some logs for those who are affected, or need to wait till I get blocked as well to start analysing....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I've currently disabled app sales till we know more
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c3ph3us:
Just to be sure, the debug log recording must be started before running AA, or after the error produces?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
For this you do not need to enable debugging in OBD2AA app, you need to enable "Force Logging" in Android Auto.

Open Android Auto, go to About, tap the "about android auto" header 10 times, now from the top right corner select developer options and make sure you enable force logging.

Close AA, connect to the car, disconnect and capture a bug report.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] c3ph3us:
Sent, hope it helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks to those who sent reports and helped with tests, the good new is I'm positive I can fix it, the bad news is, it will be a LONG and HARD battle, I don't want to give out ideas to others but I need to dive very deeply into things (like byte low level) to get it working, which means most probably it will take a while, but I have faith that I will be able to get to the bottom of it.
