Awesome, 1.3a update appears to have fixed Torque continuing to run in background after disconnect.

Did have an issue on the way into work this morning, connected phone started car, started music in Play Music, let it sit for a bit then switched to OBD2AA and gauges were there right away as expected with updates from 1.3. A while later I needed to pause the music so I switched back to Play Music and paused the music while ordering food. After resuming music and going back to OBD2AA the gauges were not updating, just showing value that was last there when I left to pause the music. Not sure if it is a bug or just a fluke yet, will see how it does at lunch or after work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes I can, thank you, DOH why did they build the same app with different names as titles???? Can you email so I can send you a test APK with blitzer.de added to the filter list to see if it works?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Possibly bug, strange I do remember fixing that behaviour before releasing 1.3 I will check.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
Yes, I've sent you an email. Glad that you want to work it out.

Thanks :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ControlNode:
I do not know, I've never used it. But, if you need a tester let me know.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] FormelLMS:
This man is faster than his shadow. Wow!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Send me an email please so I can share with you a test apk to address the gauge not updating issue you have mentioned, thanks

What obd2 dongles is everybody using? I have a cheap ELM327 mini bluetooth dongle that is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it connects, other times it doesn't.

Is there one that is more reliable ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi.

Hard to say, but as a general advice stay away from the £2-£3 ones they can be more trouble than gain. But I think jumping on the other side of the fence and going bunkers and spending £20-£50 on it it again probably an overkill. So try to find something in between with good reviews.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] m0tyrider:
What one do you personally use?

I have two super cheap ones, they are hit and miss in terms of getting them actually connected to my phone. They won't pair through my phones menu, but only sometimes pair when using a app like Torque.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I have one of the cheap ones, but don't ask me how cheap and which one, I have it for about 4 years.... so cannot recall where did I got it from exactly and how much did I paid for it....
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
I just did the search for obd2 and it came right up on xda labs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 1seniorgeek:
the search for "torque" worked just fine. I now have obd2aa.

thanks, guys for your help.

Strange... This is right on my phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tahoe916:
Is there anything like this that you can run on your phone? I have a Ford Sync3 HU that I plug my Pixel 3 XL into, I would love to see my diesel PIDs for EGT, boost, tranny temps, etc.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
This runs on your phone. Check out the OP.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tahoe916:
Sorry, it seemed like the OP said it would only run on your phone or on an Android HU, but not on a phone plugged into a HU that supports AA. Is that true? I use AA on my phone, but it displays on my Ford Sync 3 HU. Hope that makes sense.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
It sure makes sense I use it on my Ford sync 3. Works well. You just need a obd bt adaptor and torques. Fell free to ask for help if needed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DanGarion:
Does anyone have this working with a Kenwood DMX905S. I have an LG v30 and whenever I follow the directions to get this working I end up with the unsupported device error message (4446). My unit works fine with normal AA operations.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] tahoe916:
Awesome, thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cameronkelley28:
Is anyone else having an issue with the display being slightly stretched?

I'm guessing it's related to the DPI adjustment. My headunit is a Pioneer 4100NEX with a standard 16:9 800x480 screen. The stretching is very minor like it might be outputting 16:10 so it doesn't bother me too much.

I'm thinking it could possibly be not scaling correctly to match the nav bar but that's just a stab in the dark.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dptrumpeter:
Edit: Dropped down from 5 displays to 3. I got rid of Revs & Voltage and kept Coolant Temp, Intake Temp, and Boost/Vacuum gauge. This SIGNIFICANTLY sped up the readouts on screen. Still a little bit delayed but it doesn't seem to be worse than the torque app itself.

Has anybody had an issues with pretty bad latency? I'm curious if it's the fact that I'm using a $15 OBD adapter or if it's an issues with processing. The weird part is that Torque Pro sends out the readings in close to real time (maybe a half second off, vs maybe 1 or 2 seconds on the head unit).

Do you guys think a WiFi OBDII reader would have faster readouts?

Specs: ELM327 Bluetooth Adapter (the basic blue one), Sync 3 with Android Auto (up to date), OnePlus 6 Rooted, running Pixel Experience ROM,

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Lemonato:
I've got 8 displays going and no issues with latency. Also running a cheap elm327 Bluetooth adaptor. Have you confirmed that 'faster communication' is checked in torques settings? Otherwise it could be your HU maybe?

I'm using a Galaxy S9 with a Pioneer MVH-Z5050 HU

Help for obd2aa for Honor 7x

Good morning, I need help to use obd2AA on my car, Android AA works fine, but when I connect via USB cable and I give the "always" consent to obd2AA nothing is opened. I state that I perform the procedure as described on my Honor 7x, do you have any suggestions? Thank you
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
Yes it is crashing for me too.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Came here to post the same thing. Was fine before the upgrade, now they don't seem to work, and trying to change them crashed it. I am using Sync 3 in case that is an issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Can one of you grab a bug report and send it to Emil. Check the OP for instructions if needed.

Thanks

How do we enter custom PID in OBD2AA? I have some custom PID's for my Ford, which also have an equation. What do I add to OBD2AA?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TeamHackura:
You must add then through toque. They should then be available to select in obd2aa
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
I have created a task in Tasker to start AA server. It needs Auto Input and Auto Shortcuts to be installed. It doesn't need root.

I have set it to run after device boots.

The exported APK, XML and screenshot are attached.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] , I have sent you two bug reports for the TPMS PID selection issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
I have had a quick look and can't see where our how to send big report sorry! I have attached a screenshot of what is happening if this helps? Otherwise the app is working great with no issues at all well done guys.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
Does anyone have TPMS configured in OBD2AA? Could you share your export file?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
It depends on the Cat, I have a file that works with Ford, bit you have to add the PIDs in torque. They have them in the presets.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Should have attached my file. This should have the Ford settings for TMPS.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
Thanks, I'll take the TPMS tags and put them in my backup, and place the PID's in there. I have a Ford too and have the TPMS configured in Torque.

I wanted to try this workaround because selecting PID for TPMS is crashing for now. Will see if this method of editing the JSON works :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
First of all, Thanks to [MENTION=648646]nygmam[/MENTION] for providing his OBD2AA backup.

I was able to add TPMS PID's in OBD2AA using the below method.

Take a backup of your OBD2AA settings

Find your TPMS PID's by selecting them as gauges in OBD2AA

Keep a note of the PID's

Replace your PID's in the below text against the relevant tag

[
"front_left_pressure",
"222813,-583734605",
"S"
],
[
"front_right_pressure",
"222814,-583734605",
"S"
],

[
"rear_left_pressure",
"222816,-583734605",
"S"
],
[
"rear_right_pressure",
"222815,-583734605",
"S"
]

Add a "," after the second last "]"

]
]

Place the updated text below this line

],
[
"front_left_pressure",
"222813,-583734605",
"S"
],
[
"front_right_pressure",
"222814,-583734605",
"S"
],

[
"rear_left_pressure",
"222816,-583734605",
"S"
],
[
"rear_right_pressure",
"222815,-583734605",
"S"
]
]

Import this updated JSON in OBD2AA

You should now see the TPMS PID's in the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
This may be probably is a dumb question, but do I need Tasker to use your apk? What do I do with the XML file?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] suku_patel_22:
You don't need Tasker, but you need Auto Input and Auto Shortcuts.

You can set it to run on boot using any app, or run it manually too.

It's a Tasker task exported as an app.

The XML is for someone who wants to import it to Tasker.

So I upgraded my radio from a pioneer nex4200 to a Kenwood dmx905s (wireless Android auto). Still using the same Nexus 2. Without any changes other than the radio I cannot get OBD2AA to work. I run through the normal steps, hacker is running but Android auto fails to open. Radio says unsupported device. I turned off wireless projection and still no change. Any ideas to try?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
I'm getting force close every time. Do I need to activate the accessibility feature of Auto Input or configure something?

EDIT: After enabling accessibility settings for Auto Input, your app just force closed non stop. Had to uninstall. Any thoughts?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
What is everyone else doing with this... manually starting the head unit server every time you get in your car?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
If you don't have root you can try the tasker setup a couple posts back.

You can actually leave it running all the time.

I have root and have it start on boot and hide the notification. Never has it stop after it has been running for any length of time.

Hope this helps.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
The Tasker setup isn't working for me, that's why I asked... Thx though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Just start it when you reboot and leave it running. Doesn't hurt performance or battery life.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jonesy66:
Hi guys thanks for looking and getting a result with the TPMS in OBD2AA.

Can you please send info on how to:

Save backup and follow on for doing this from my side so I can get mine working?

I'm not totally understanding what is going on sorry with this "JSON" file!

I have added the PID's in the gauges and it works fine, but still crashes when I try and add them in the TPMS?

Thanks guys great work I love this app.

Has anyone seen this issue, everything seem to load ok on my Samsung s9+ but when I select obd2aa my screen on my ram 1500 goes funny like it's a bad refresh rate. Something is there but I cant make it out. If I select AA it works fine but only has the standard AA screen. Any ideas
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

I'm finally back in the UK and in front of my PC, I've also managed to tied up quiet a few of my loose ends and I have no big project starting this year. I will dedicated the last 2 weeks of this years to the following:

1) Looking into fixing some of the FC for obd2aa, also try to find a solution for non-standard PIDs

2) Get AA GateWay to Beta/Stable version (most work needs to be done on this app)

3) Fix some issues and FC with HUR

4) Get the carNotifier to a stable version.

January and February are again fully booked so I will focus on stability rather then adding new features especially because obd2aa and HUR and fairly mature apps with most of the functions already covered.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] krull37:
Hi Emil I just bought your app, thanks for your great work ! I am wondering why I'm having an issue with the DPI setting overriding the 1080p setting from AA which was working fine for me, I have the same car as Fbike (Megane 4 GT) and I'm waiting for his settings but you might be able to answer :

Before using your app I used android Auto itself, using the developper option to get a bigger screen with the 1080p source, never had any problems. Now when I try to use obd2aa I have to adjust the DPI manually and can't find anything that works (resolution is terrible, touch screen is poorly calibrated...). Is there a way to make it so obd2aa doesn't override the display setup ?

Thanks !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not really, but I will advice against using 1080p in the first place, there is really no visual difference between 720p and 1080p but you put a lot of additional stress on the phone and headunit as well for coding/decoding the stream, plus you increase the amount of data transferred.

I will suggest to switch back to 720p in the developer settings and then set the DPI to 240 in obd2aa, that will make it look the same as 1080p, then if you want to tweak the looks a bit play with the 240 value, decrease it to 220 - 210 to add more content to the screen or increase it to 250-260 to reduce it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] krull37:
Thank you I will give this a try and see how it goes ! The issue I had with high DPI and 1080p was that I could barely see anything it was all zoomed in (like I had two icons on screen and that's it). I'll give it a try tomorrow and keep you updated, thanks for your help !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vdunn:
Hi Emil anything for me try, the app sound like it would be great but is pretty much useless to me at the moment.

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

Hi Emil

I wanted to tell you about a problem that we encounter with version 3.3 and more particularly the "dpi" option.

On renault rlink2, whatever the value chosen, the screen is not displayed correctly. Several users of a renault rlink section forum, as me, told me about this problem. Also, would it be possible to envisage in version 3.4 the possibility of desactivating dpi setting option in order to use the standard dpi resolution ?

Best regards,

Christian
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Will do, but even version 3.3 should work correctly if you set the resolution to 720p in Android Auto and DPI to 240 in obd2aa.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fbike:
Hi [MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

Will try this week but my AA is set to both 720p and 1080p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
Getting frustrated trying to make this work consistently. Set it up on my Galaxy S9 running Oreo. Works fine for awhile, then when I come back to my car after work AA won't display on my screen. No error message, but clicking the AA icon on my GMC Yukon's screen has no effect. Unplugging/replugging has no effect. Manually launch AA on my phone to check the head unit server, but it's already running. Stopped it and exited AA which then causes OBD error message that the app has stopped. Nothing I do seems to get it working again. Reboot and manually start head unit server, still won't work. Uninstalled and AA connects instantly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Updated to v3.4 beta, changes:

- Should now work with custom PID's

- Option to keep original DPI (just in case you where between the unlucky few where DPI change gets things broken for you).

Let me know if there are any major problems, if not I'm looking to move it from Beta to Release in a couple of weeks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
Really appreciate the fix, it's great to have my gauges back in working order. I've missed these for some time this fixes great. I do however have a question, I use this app on two cars one a turbo 1 naturally aspirated and while I like a big boost gauge in the center of my screen on the turbo car I'd like a different screen on my non turbo car. It would be great to have the ability to switch profiles within the app or to identify which profile is loaded with in torque and adjust the gauges accordingly. Is this a possibility?

I can also confirm j still can not change my TPMS settings in 3.4 beta app, I have to load my exported settings.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Short answer, nope, your best bet is to export the settings in 2 different json's and import them accordingly, at some DISTANT point in feature I might add this, but for sure I won't be able to include such a feature in the next 6-9 month I'm affraid.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
That's what I do now, which is why I had the export files to set the TMPS as that still crashes the app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
About that I wasn't able to reproduce it any more... Does it still occure?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nygmam:
When I checked I see the PIDs but on tapping they still crashes the app. Since they are set and saved, it is less of an issue for me, but maybe for new users without them defined. Of course maybe it works fine when the value is null. Honestly besides trying to edit to see if fixed I haven't troubleshooted this issue much more.

Went and cleared data, and still crashed when I went to edit. Reloaded my export and all is right in the world again, unless I need to ever change the TPMS PIDs again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cameronkelley28:
Does OBD2AA ever display an error something like "local headunit server not running"?

I have an S7 on oreo and I've got it pretty dialed in now. I have Tasker launch OBD2AA 5 seconds after bluetooth connects and don't plug it in until then.

That has helped immensely but I still occasionally get the error above. When I do, I unplug the phone, force close OBD2AA, launch it again, and then it works when I plug it in.

Granted, killing apps is easy for me since I have long press recent key set to kill foreground, but you could try it manually and see if it works for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 911jason:
I don't have Tasker, but I did try the automated apk someone made with Tasker and it just caused non stop error messages. I'll spring for Tasker and give it another try in the next couple days. Thanks for the advice.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kingcraft:
Hello Emil,

I would like to ask, if it would be possible to also add the option to correct the GPS height to sea level readings in v3.4?

Since the height of the GPS is always connected to the WGS84 reference ellipsoid, for getting the "real altitude", we have to use an additional geoide model.

Actually, for whole Europe, this would simply mean to subtract 48m from the GPS height.

Instead of implementing the hole EGM96 geoide model, the user could just give the difference ellipsoid/geoid, valid for his continent/country, to make it more easy.

So basically something like two more entries in the settings would be cool:

"Use geoid correction for the GPS height: y/n"

"Geoid correction value (m): -48"

The topic is explained in more detail here:

https://eos-gnss.com/elevation-for-beginners/

And here you can see a world map with the differences between the height of WGS84 and the geoide model EGM96.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earth_Gravitational_Model_1996.png

I tried to make this work with a custom PID, but this does not work for the GPS readings.

It would be really cool to see the real altitude in my car when driving over the black forest here (1000m+ sea level), without any additional calculations.

Thanks for considering! :)

Regards,

Kingcraft
