The plugin uses the oil or water temp reading to determine when the engine is warm enough, in the preference of the app you can set the value of the temperature which you consider to be OK. From what you are saying it sounds that your adapter / car / torque doesn't return the actual values but somehow older (max) values, which will explain why the app instantly says engine temperature is OK.

PayPal issues.

A few persons mentioned problem on checking out, it's not something in my control but I'm going to be in touch with the XDA Labs developers to see if we can solve the problem, also considering to add a checkout option directly on my own homepage, but that also requires updates to be handled so please bare with me till I get to the bottom of this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:

Thanks Emil for taking the time to answer.

The settings had it at 80 degrees, just curious what you mean by older values?

Are these adapter specific, ie the adpater returns the max?

because in Torque, or even in this App (if I add the PID) I get value zero (which is reasonable if the adapter or vehicle does not support it)

I tried Another OBD2 device (v1.5) and it didn't make a difference (Mine is v1.4)

What about this?

You think this is due to the adapter? or the car? or the app?

Thanks a bunch.

Hi, I just checked out with PayPal without issue so I'm turning from the mini version to full. I now face a new problem though. Here it is:

I have been evaluating the mini obdii plugin with an old plx kiwi device which was working just fine. Since I liked it I decided to sell the old unit and buy the new one which can be permanently on without consuming battery and after this I bought the full version from here. I now face a new problem where torque cannot connect properly if it's paired in Bluetooth settings. It can only work if you don't pair and let torque directly access it. (I don't know why it's like this but it must be the new kiwi design). Now I don't see the option in android auto for the obd plugin. How should I proceed from this point?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Do I understand correctly that it doesn't work properly in torque either?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Make sure that unknown sources are enabled in Android Auto.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreasy:
It is otherwise it wouldn't allow it to be installed. And it was working fine a few weeks ago when I installed it for testing
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
There are 2 different places for unknown sources, one in developer settings of the phone that will allow/deny installing unsigned apps.

The one I'm referring to in inside Android Auto.

Open android Auto on your phone go to about, tap the "about android Auto" header 10 times,from top right menu select developer options, scroll down and make sure unknown sources are enabled.

If problem persists, try rebooting the phone and checking that the option is still enabled.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreasy:
Oh yes I remembered doing this originally but it must have been reset when I updated android auto version. I changed it now so I'll test it after work when I go to my car. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
If your are referring to the temperature reading, that is correct, Torque does not display it either.

However if you are referring to the values that get stuck (while at zero), no there are no issues in Torque.

Torque sees them correctly.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Ok I will need to check.

Since I came back from my holiday I'm fighting deadlines and I have some more for this week, but once they are done I will have more time to dedicate to this and move the beta to production add some final touches, sort out issues, add new translation, etc. I might need to get some logs from you regarding the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
Sure, take your time, no rush, your have priorities and commitments, I understand, we all do, this is fun but not a priority, whenever you get to it is fine with me.

Please don't mind me if I post more observations, they are not meant to pressure you, but rather to provide more input.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] andreasy:
Yes that was it. It worked but I got 2 new problems:

1. TPMS Sensors display unknown 0

2. How can I get the 15 gauges? I used a layout with 5 gauges and later added all 15 but when I tried to connect my phone the app just crashes and it doesn't start. Something else I should do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jack13580:
I need a refund I try all the instructions and nothing appear on my screen only a dark screen I try bot stable and beta build
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] spyderr:
Hi Emil

I just wanted to say thanks for a great app, it works great in the Ford Sync 3 head unit. Only thing on my wish list would be to have a numerical value without dial for a gauge option.. Thanks again for a great app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
1) You need to adjust the PIDS for TPMS Sensors in the TPMS Settings part (assuming that your Torque/OBD2/Car combination supports it)

2) Set layout to auto, then change gauge number to 15.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Please send me an email to borconie@gmail.com, I need to know your email address to process the refund. I will issue the refund as soon as I have that. That being said I will like to understand why is that happening, I haven't really had this complain before so if you are OK, can you please send me a bug report as described in the OP?

Thank you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Hi Emil,

As I've said I'm really happy with street names and your speed camera integration.

But there is one bug:

If you are in an area without mobile data coverage for a time, both things are crashing and never come back to life again except when stopping and re starting OBD2AA manually which I don't wanna do while driving.

I've seen this while talking. When you start a phone call in 4g area, everything is fine. If you get into a non 3g/4g area while talking, the phones fall back to 2g and never come back to 3g/4g again, when the call is active.

So using 2g while making a call, you can't get any data connection, because 2g is one way only.

So if talking in a 2g net you never have a chance to get warnings for speed cameras.

This is the only thing which isn't working for me.

Hi Emil,

This is the guy from the GOLFMK7 forum. Thanks for sharing the link to this site to look at this App. I'm trying to purchase it, but I'm not sure what is going on as at my phone only shows "Payment in progress". Any clue if something else is required? I'm trying to purchase your App using XDA Labs at a Samsung Note5.

Thanks in advance.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chillout:
Lovely app!

I tested it today on my Volkswagen Discover Pro MIB2, lovely. Using custom backgrounds is perfect. All that's missing is a bitmap for the needle.

I extracted a couple of images from the VW Firmware, and made dial backgrounds for them, to match the original "Sports mode" dials:

Feel free to use them, just don't claim them as your own work if you decide to use them :D

Background, not proportioned 1x2, so you might need to crop:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mursepaolo:
I'm getting a force close whenever I apply these gauge backgrounds and try to preview. Haven't tried plugging into car yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
I did some more tests, and had them both running at the same time, when the data in this APP (in AA) appeared frozen, Torque was showing no-data

I suppose this app keeps the most recent value and does not show 0 if torque is saying no-data

On another note [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

If you are considering developing other Android Auto Apps, one app I find particularly missing is Mirroring Android notifications to AA

I know some apps mirror by default (like SMS) but most don't.

It would be awesome (I would buy) if there was an app that allowed me to select which app notifications (selectable) I wanted mirrored.

If AA read the notification, that would even be better.

Being able to act (voice reply or otherwise) would be the icing on the cake.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
I'm not sure if this was previously reported, I used the background [MENTION=1083535]Chillout[/MENTION] (thanks) (resized it at 2x1 ratio) plus a dial background (the one before last with no red)

When I preview in the App, the App crashes.

However on the car HU, it shows up properly.

No biggy, as it works, but am just reporting it in case it hasn't been.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chillout:
Some more backgrounds for dials, Seat style. This time with needle (in case the [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] decides to add custom needle bitmaps ;) ) and a properly sized background
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks, I will check how well the arch fits on them or if I need to create a tweaked arch to fit better, they do look GOOD!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will check this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Some updates.

Ok guys I have been radio silent for about a month now, so I do apologize for this, a good chunk of it was my holiday and another good chunk of it was trying to catch up with myself after the holiday - The disadvantages of being self-employed, nobody does the work instead of you when you are away : (

Anyway enough with the moaning and excuses here is my schedule for things, short run:

1) About 2 more days till I fully catch up with all my work, worth case scenario end of this week,

2) Changes planned next week on Beta:

- Adjustable warning distance (speed sensitive)

- Selectable warnings

- Improve audio for warnings

Once this is done, should move to stable version and I'm not sure what should be the order of new features, so please do send me your suggestions/requests and I will make a list on what to implement and in what order.

Other apps:

- I'm considering creating a "plugin" app between Android Auto and Lyft/Uber driver app but I will need some Uber drivers if there are any on this forum to help me out

- Again requests, ideas, suggestion are welcomed as well as potential collaboration with other devs out there to bring more apps to the AA world next year.

Long term:

- For next year I plan to take some course on coding so I can improve my skills and I want to slowly move away from my current day to day tasks (website and similar) and start dedicating more and more time on app development especially car/Android Auto related.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] iuhorts:
Hello I recenly intalled but dosen't work on my sync3 unit. A black screen is showed only, i wait for more than 10 minutes but no news. I followed step by step all ponts on instructions. Tested beta and stable version.

Any suggestion?

Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
No not sure, but I will need to see a log in order to be able to give you more information on it. Please see my OP for instructions on how to collect a logcat and email it over to borconie@gmail.com so I can check. Also you can use the email address if you will like to get a refund.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chillout:
I am curious if there is any sensor data being sent by the car to Android Auto, and if this can be displayed in any way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
From the data collected from users not too much, I think only the Corsa send RPM, current gear, fuel level to the car others don't
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chillout:
hmm, on the VW Discover Pro MIB2 i've seen several sensors mentioned in the Green Dev Menu, including an update frequency. I've set the update frequency from "disabled" to a bit higher, maybe it pushes it to AA. And.. light-on-light-off too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
BEside the standard sensors, there is a so called vendor extension service, as far as I understand it (from reverse engineer) this extension can be used to send any kind of data from the car to the phone, but you will need an app (vendor specific) which understands this data... but I haven't seen any unit's taking advantage of this yet.

If you have a WV and you want to know what sensors are declared on your car please do as follow:

1) Open Android Auto

2) Go to About, tap the "about android auto" header 10 times

3) From the 3 dotted right menu, select developer options and enable force loging

4) Connect your phone to the car and wait for AA to start then disconnect the phone.

5) Collect a logcat (bug report)

6) Send the report over to me and I can tell you what sensors are supported by your car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
By the way, starting with Android Auto 2.8 notifications are also visible on the phone screen not only on the car screen (like street name + speed limit and Speedcam)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Wow, looks very promising! But take your time. The actual version is working really good. I really can't drive without anymore.

Only one thing is bugged with the street names and speedcams. If you are not covered with mobile data some times it seems, that the service breaks down and never comes up again (without restarting the whole Android auto thing)

So could be that you've been catched by police because OBD2AA was quiet after that.

My idea to this app is to get a statistics screen beside the main screen and the TPMS screen. I would really love to see some statistics.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I think the issue is related to Play Services, any chance you can capture a bug report when that happens and email it over to me? I saw similar problems now on my phone since I updated to Oreo Beta and they are related to some functions of Play Services stopping altogether (like Fused Location Provider and GeoCoding ) so it might actually be a problem/bug on PlayService...

If you do capture a but report please make sure that debugging is enabled in the OBD2AA app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
How the app looks on phone with Android Auto 2.8
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Chillout:
Allright, I generated a log, going through it I noticed some vendor extension and vw stuff, and the com.vwag.infotainment.gal.exlap service. I've found some info online regarding VW's exlap, looks to be pretty straightforward, there might be an easy way to read it with a client.

I'll email you the logcat. I'm really curious if there's useful data there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Well that's how I started all this, having a look at Seat Drive App which again uses exlap and it's compatible with Android Auto, but only available in Spain and for Seat.... Never actually read any of the exlap stuff but indeed a quick Google did reveal a lot of documentation. Theoretically speaking with exlap you should be able to do much more then just display some stats of your car on the screen, you could potentially even control things (like set cruise control, etc) now I'm going super futuristic but take that and add a Google Assistant API to the mix and you could potentially end up saying: "Ok Google set my cruise control to 70 miles per hour" :)

Now back to reality, send me over the log and I will have a look....

Just run into a ford android app that works with Android Auto. It claims to record rpm and other data, and i see no mention of an obd2 adapter, so i guess it reads the data directly from the car inteface.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...&rdid=com.ford.performance.android.experience

Works only for Ford GT but promises to be releases for other "performance" ford models. Perhaps you can retrieve some information from the app itself? Add some functionality to ford owners without the need of an OBD adapter?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Some data might be usable, I will need to check same as exlap... Just need time :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maurizio1953:
Finally I received my obdii receiver and tried to use it with obd2aa app, but on my android auto hud I see only 6 gauges without any value inside, so I understood that I must configure the gauges inside the app. As I am really new to this technology, may I ask some configs you use so I can easily import inside my obd2aa app? In this way I can easily understand how to configure following my wishes.... I see there is an import feature inside the settings so is really easy to import other configs? If not, can someone explain me how to configure the gauges to begin to see how the receiver works?

Thanks in advance to all of you who want to help me.....

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
I know it's not very obvious at first.

Hit the plus button next to any gauge setting in the app, then hit the pid, it should open up a list, select the one you want to see, repeat for the other gauges, you can tweak the look later.

This should work, and you should be able to figure out the rest easily.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maurizio1953:
Thanks.. I found some examples but cannot find the gauge which is called MPG... What is the meaning of that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badabing2003:
MPG?

Miles per gallon
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m00n61:
OBD2AA is essentially an AA frontend for Torque. You should start by understanding how Torque works, what are PIDs, etc.

There is no universal config, we all have different interests and want to see different parameters. If you don't know what a certain PID means and the relevant values for a specific engine/car it is useless to have it displayed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Maurizio1953:
Are there custom pids for Citroen c3 available?
