I had a similar problem with my S7 after upgrading to Oreo (8.0). Right after about 20 minutes, AA was crashing. Reconnecting USB was working sometimes, but finally I had to restart the phone somewhen.

It took me quite a long time (months :( ) to finally find a soution for that. The problem seems to be connected to Android 8.0 and the screen lock (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, ...). If I remove the screeen lock, everything runs fine again!

Luckily, Samsung has something implemented called "Smart Lock", which can unlock the phone automatically and permanently, when it is connected to a "trusted device", in my case now the Bluetooth of the car, so no problem with a permanentely unsecured phone or messing around with the lock, every time when I want to connect to my car! :)

Not sure, if it will solve your problem, but maybe it is worth a try...

My AA is not showing this app on my car unit. Is there a workaround for this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ahpigsy:
Thanks for the advice. I tried this but the problem still exists. Even when the screen is unlocked the 'SYNC can't initialize Android Auto message comes up."

Hello Emil,

I have recently moved from a Pioneer NEX unit to a Volvo OEM Sensus unit that can run Android Auto.

Android Auto works fine if I do not use OBD2.

However, if I use OBD2AA, I get the "Connection error, check device" message.

Could this be related to the resolution issues mentioned above?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yurodd:
When I select obd2aa when it prompt, nothing happen on my unit. I had hur server running too. Restarted my unit and phone many times. Went thru all the steps accordingly and still nothing happens on my unit. Can anyone help me?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Do you have developer options enabled?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yurodd:
Yes I have. How else can I turn on hur server
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I'm not talking about in aa but in system settings of phone.

Usb debug
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yurodd:
Yep that's enabled too. I got it to work once on my other honda car. But cant seem to get it work on this Hyundai
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Grab a bug report and email it to [MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION] to look at. Make sure to have logging enabled in Obd2aa. Also change your logging to 16m in debug options.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Did you try to force-stop obd2aa?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
And it worked fine with the NEX before?

There are some cases when it simply does NOT work and for no obvious reason... however do check that add new cars is enabled in Android Auto.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Will do. How do you capture logs?

Edit: I see on the first post now
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
Is it normal for the beeps to come from the phone instead of the headunit?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
For speed camera? There is a setting which adjust that, check preferences
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
Are there people using this app where it just works every time you plug your phone into your car? No intervention or special steps? I just cannot seem to get it to work consistently. I tried the Tasker created APK, didn't work. I paid for Tasker and two Tasker plugins, didn't work. I love the ability to start on the maps screen and have music play automatically, and to disable the scrolling limit, but if I had any hair I would have pulled it all out by now trying to get it to work more than once or twice in a row.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I once in a while will have an issue but it works 99% of the time for me.

Try starting the Hu server after a reboot and leave it running all the time. See if that helps reliability. By the way to help out what phone do you have and I assume that since you tried tasker to start the Hu server you do not have root.

Maybe if people can post their phone model, vehicle Hu, Android version and if they are rooted or not this will help [MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION] build a pattern to some of the issues.

Always remember to enable debugging in Obd2aa and make sure to change your logging buffer to 16meg in Dev options. Before sending your log. You would be amazed at how useful his logging is to resolve issues.

Remember we are here to help you so give us as much information as possible.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
AT&T Galaxy S9 on stock Oreo, unrooted, 2016 GMC Yukon stock head unit. I will forget the Tasker stuff and just try manually starting the head unit server after reboots, but it was not working that way for me before, which is why I resorted to Tasker. I'll make sure to have logging enabled correctly this time, though. Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
I must be special... but where do I enable logging and the 16meg option? I only see checkbox to enable debugging.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
In Dev options of the phone look for logger buffer sizes.

In Obd2aa in the options enable logging.

Once you have completed a debug to send you should turn off logging in Obd2aa unless you plan to grab more debug logs.

Hope this helps.

I'm on Version 3.3, I have no option to enable logging. See attached screenshots.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Sorry it is enable debugging you have enabled.

I edited my previous post with the correction.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
So it just happened again. After posting earlier, I reinstalled OBD2AA 3.3, set up my preferences and enabled debugging. Rebooted my phone, launched AA and started the head unit server. When I left for work a little while later, everything worked fine. Left work on my lunch break 3 hrs later and plugging in my phone got no response from the head unit. Clicking the "projection" option had no effect. Unplugged and replugged several times with no change. Forwarded bug report to Emil.

Now end of December... Sammy A5 and Alpine X208AU. Same problem. Methinks is an Alpine problem. Not any customer support with Alpine. Avoid them.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=9600527]CoupeS18[/MENTION] - If you are unhappy with the product I will refund you at any give point, all I need from you is the email address you used for purchase. Send it to borconie@gmail.com and I will process it straight away. This is valid for everyone else as well, if you are not happy, it doesn't work for some reasons, simply shoot me an email.

[MENTION=6810499]loaded_dog[/MENTION] - I do remember seeing this problem on another Alpine unit but logs did not conclude to anything. Do you have a spare device at hand (some old phone), I'm nearly ready with an updated on my AAGateWay app and I'm curious to see if that will help or not. But that will require 2 phones (one slave connected to the car and your normal daily phone in your pocket) since connection will be made over Wifi. Shoot me an email to borconie@gmail.com for more details.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loaded_dog:
Thanks Emil, Sorry, I dont have a spare phone... Would a tablet do ? Only diff is no SIM.

From my perspective, I only wanted AA to enable me to use Torque Pro. Maybe when the nav update subscription expires, and I dont want to pay exorbitant amounts for updates, (3 yrs from now), I will use Waze via AA. In it's current form, I dont even know what use AA is, given that host head units do nav, phone and audio already...

However, I am interested in what you are talking about and will em. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
Thanks for mentioning the trusted device info. I hope that solves recent issues.

One question regarding the use of Torque values.

I'd like to display horsepower at the wheels ff1226,0 on a radial gauge. The Torque profile has the weight of the car. However, I don't know how to make use of the measured values in OBD2AA.

if I enter the Max value (340) in the gauge config, the needle always stays way down. It shows 7 HP while accelerating to 100kmh and that cannot be right...

Any ideas?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Ahpigsy:
I do believe this might have fixed the problem. Ever since I've done a force-stop on obd2aa the 'Sync can't initialise AA' hasn't stayed on screen. Can't believe the fix was so easy for a problem I've had for months. Thanks.

The program is very stable now. Only thing I'm looking for is upgrades now. Like:

1/ Multiple pages

2/ Tell tail values like in Torque Pro (Highest values shown on the gauge).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
I noticed the same thing in AA on the 8100NEX I had; you had to adjust that DPI setting in the OBD2AA settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
In latest beta you can disable the DPI change.

Hi Emil. My car will not recognize the phone and will not load it on the car display. I cannot get android auto back up on the display unless I uninstall this app. Is this a known issue? This is after following the steps you laid out

I would suggest looking at the OP on how to send the logs to [MENTION=224120]Emil[/MENTION].
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] supream7:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] CoupeS18:
I have a problem when using for around 15 mins everything goes out to the screen that says check phone to run android auto coming from the HU I used to still hear music playing from AA no more now can't do anything with in the AA move the usb sometimes and you can see it flick back on screen and go back to the words any fixes I'm thinking it's a screen resolution issues and easy fix please help thanks. If uninstall obd2 AA app it run well.

Hey maybe it's the obd2 device can you send us a link to the one you use because it does not affect you. Your app tend to say to use android auto please park your car and check your android phone alot when everything else works in background. What's the deal Android auto by itself with out your app works and never says to use android auto please park your car and check your android phone. You need an update to deactivate that because your app is creating that issue.

Before all my best wishes for 2019.

I was able to test beta 3.4 with renault rlink2. Indeed the option of activation of the DPI allows to have a normal display. However, if I enable this option 240 dpi including a very big display. Strangely, at most we decrease the DPI at most the display becomes small and almost normal size ... I'm not down below 60 dpi .... Indeed, it is impossible to have an action on the buttons self android application. Is this due to the fact that the rlink2 is by default in portrait mode?

PS: If you have yet my email, could you send me your language file in order to complete french translation, otherwise I will send you a mail.

Was one ever developed for Cydia or apple car cuz that works fast last time checked too bad it's not as stable and compatible all in one app no menu stuff great Ideal plzz keep updating it so it work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Dr. Claw:
Good news. I was able to get OBD2AA to work by both uninstalling and reinstalling both apps, then setting it up again.

There's only one question. I know that there is a DPI setting that can be changed manually (and the beta has its own setting for this). Is there a way to adjust the width of the display output? It feels like the microphone icon on the screen is too far to the edge.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vegaman:
This is working reasonably well thanks. But the speed camera alerts are broken for me.

They go off right when I pass the camera and then continuously re-alert with longer and longer distances, as if they think I'm traveling in the opposite direction.

My audio also breaks when they go off - the music goes quiet when the speed camera alert goes off and never returns to full volume. I have to disconnect and reconnect my phone.

Is this a known issue? I'll attempt to get logs but there's not many speed cameras in the database around here so it's a little difficult.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shabloool:
Did you solve this?

I am using an S7 edge with superman rom and a Kia standard headunit. When I chose OBD2AA as the default app AA was greyed out. When choosing AA as the default, AA lunches properly, I got the OBD2AA notification on the phone and even got the notification of the engine temperature being fine in AA. However I was unable to see the dashboard using the fifth window. Just can't see the option.

BTW, what is HUR?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shabloool:
Hey, have you solved this with older AA version or other ways? I'm using the local version of the headunit on my Kia niro which seems to be similar in the stinger also with a Sammy phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Aberkoke:
It works perfectly on the Xiaomi Pocophone F1. Many thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Alphaelectric:
I never got this resolved either. It supposedly is a bug within AA since it is a function provided by the framework. Emil calls the function to lower and return volume and AA does the rest. If AA doesn't react to the command I guess there is little you can do from the programming side. Maybe it gets fixed by Google one day. I wouldn't count on it though...

Hi

I am using a galaxy s8 with Android Auto & OBD2AA/Torque for Sync 3

I can connect to android auto if i choose that as the default usb connection but once i choose Obd2aa it does not connect? Keeps saying headunit server not started? I have to uninstall Obd2aa for the Android auto to connect again

With Obd2aa selected as the default usb connection once plugging in usb it just keeps on popping up with allow connection but does not connect the Android auto to sync 3

Also when in Android auto and select about it goes to settings but there is no option to start headunit?

Can someone please help me sort this out

Thanks:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Are you sure you enabled developer mode in Android auto? You should see start headunit server.

Read the OP again if you are unsure.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mickos77:

Thanks for the reply much appreciated, when i am in Android Auto i tab about and it opens up another Android auto screen, and then i click on the top right hand corner and it doesnt have any option to start headunit? Will attach screenshot

Hi

Cant seem to attach a screenshot, is it an older version of Android Auto i should be using ro access the developer mode? I just downloaded the latest version of Android Auto from playstore

Thanks again
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Yes it is in all versions. The newest version will work fine for you.

Did you follow the steps in the first post to enable developer mode in AA and how to start the Hu server?

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!)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mickos77:
Hi

Thanks i was able to get aa into developer mode and start the headunit sever then it worked for a couple of mins and then no more kept saying OBD2AA keeps stopping? Also do you need ro have Torque app open as well?

Thanks again

---------- Post added at 05:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Also everytime i open aa on my phone it says paired to OBDii ? Is that correct?

---------- Post added at 05:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

Whenever i open Obd2aa, torque, android auto it has notification paired to Obdii device please select a more permanent connection?

Thanks for your help
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Did you configure obd2aa and torque? It is normal to see that pairing message until you set your adapter as the default in torque.

Are you running the latest version of obd2aa and torque?

Also might be a permissions issue. Did you grant all the permissions when you started obd2aa for the first time not connected to your car?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mickos77:
Hi

I have the latest version of apps, not sure if i have set up torque and obd2a? What to i have to do?

Can i adjust permisions for obd2a?

Thanks again really much appreciated
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I suggest you uninstall obd2aa and read the first post from start to finish. Emil has instructions on how to setup the app.

Also search the forum for others that have had the same issues or questions and many of us have helped out.

Trying not to reinvent the wheel here and spamming the forum since it is all there in the OP.

It is pretty easy to get all setup once you read his instructions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mickos77:

Hi bggold

Thanks mate, no problem i got it working its great app, just one question will all pid gauges work for each model car or is it a generic pid/obd list? Tried to check oil temperature and a couple of others but gauge came up but wasnt doing anything?

Kind Regards Mic

You might have to enable vehicle specific pids for car.

Not all work for all cars

Good news. I have gotten OBD2AA to work in my new car.

Problem is, every now and then, I get the dreaded "Connection error, check device" from my car's infotainment.

Reading above in the thread, this seems to be a common refrain with Samsung phones. After a while, I am greeted with this message:

On my 8100NEX, I hardly ever had this problem.

I'm going to send the log your way...

Well unfortunately this has gone back to it's old ways. AA won't show up on screen now unless I reboot then I get the dreaded 'Sync can't initialise AA'. If I uninstall OBD2AA AA will operate fine.

I have tested it on my Opel Corsa E and it works fine!

With my Galaxy S9 and Galaxy A5.

I think the RCD330plus Headunit is the problem!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
I have the same problem with my Samsung S9 on a factory GMC system, so it's not the head unit. It works fine without OBD2AA. Emil has my logs, both with and without OBD2AA. I think it has something to do with the permission dialog that comes up on Samsung devices whenever you connect to a USB device.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Hmm, bad luck today. I tried the new beta 3 and the phone did not connect at all.

I went back to the stable version that worked before and AA started again, but when I choose OBD2AA, the car display freezes and on the phone, I get the message that AAHacker has crashed.

Bad thing is that I did not use AA for quite a while, so I am not sure, if something got messed up badly today, or if it is connected to the last Android update that I also have installed since using AA last time.

Reinstalled everything multiple times, but finally gave up for today. Seems that I am now also got stuck in the "not working Samsung" dead end somehow... :eek:
