[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I truly don't understand how Google managed to make this app work more and more poorly since first using it last January in a new vehicle. Back then...it just worked....every time. Now we need special cords to get this to work on our phones. Even after the update the app still fails to launch sometimes. Adding Assistant to it has made voice input even more likely to fail, or more likely to repeat things twice, once in high quality voice and once in low quality. Google created a bug where while streaming music over bluetooth if you use Assistant the music switches to the Voice audio stream when it continues playback instead of the Media audio stream. I have to pause then unpause the music to fix it. Google Maps regularly renders the map like an 8 bit Nintendo game. Many times when going to a new destination if I start the navigation my phone, then plug it in, Android Auto not only kills the navigation, but also erases the destination from the search history so I'm not able to see it in Google Maps on Android Auto. This was an absolute nightmare on a recent trip to Gatlinburg, I almost threw my ****ing phone out the window it was so frustrating. Also.....WHY CAN I NOT SEE ALL MY MUSIC GOOGLE YOU IDIOTS!!!! I almost regret that a car having android auto was the hugest influence on my vehicle purchase over how ****ty this app has become.

I've had a ton of issues since I started using Android Auto, but it's gotten worse in the past week. I'm lucky to get the phone to connect to my 2018 Accord. Seems to work about 10% of the time. I need to unplug/replug, reboot phone to get it to connect. It's so frustrating. Even if I just want to use bluetooth to connect....half the time the two don't see each other. I'm not sure if it's the March security update, or maybe phone is going bad?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrShibby:
Same Problem. The Pixel works for maximum of 2 minutes, sometimes it just shows the AA Button on the car radio (FORD SYNC3) and then disconnects immediately. It worked with my OP3T and Mix2 without a problem. Just the Pixel 2XL having problems. I tried 3 different Cables still no success.

This combined with the poor RAM management of the pixel....

I´m really disappointed in the Pixel and probably getting rid of it ASAP and going for a OP5T.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigblueshock:
There should be an option within Audi's settings to enable/disable Android Auto capability. I have the option on my Ford Sync 3 system at least... Can simply enable/disable. If disabled and I plug in USB to my phone, nothing automatically starts up on phone side or infotainment system.

I was facing connectivity issues with couple of cables... Android Auto would randomly not pop up on my Car head unit (faced this issues once in a day).

I ended up buying a new Anker Powerline+ Type C cable (link below)

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B01GN0M6NE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

After getting this cable never had a issue, it connects flawlessly every time... so it Quality of the cable which matters
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] slg60:
I also used a lot of phones in my Golf 7 GTD and the XL is the only one which works perfectly with no disconnection and so on. Second best was Oneplus 5 which produced one disconnect per week..... For me all this has a lot to do with cabeling and for myself I found the cable which generates nearly no issues. Take the Cable from Oneplus. This cable works pefectly... I ordered another short one from amazon, also no reconnects but sound quality was bad. I thougt that the connection is digital, but sound quality definetly depends on good or bad cable...

Just bought one to give it a try. I have bought others people claimed worked. I will let you know. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MechaBouncer:
I'm going to say it's not just Pixel 2 phones. I have a Sony Xperia X Compact that has been having problems since the Oreo update as well as seen mention of Samsung Galaxy S8 phones after the Oreo update. There is definitely an issue involving Oreo, but the exact cause seems to be escaping everyone.

One thing I've noticed in my case is that when Android Auto fails to start, Google Play Services gets stuck with an Android Auto icon in the notifications saying that it is connected to the car. As long as that is there, Android Auto will never automatically start after that. I'll have to go into Developer Options to force stop the service and reboot the phone. And even that won't always work.

Some people have claimed that enabling USB debugging will get things working, but I've had it enabled and it doesn't help. It sometimes helps if I turn it off, turn it back on, clear the pairing on the car and phone, and reboot both systems, but that also doesn't always work.

At this point, I cannot reliably determine a way to get Android Auto to start when it stops working, nor can I determine if it will work the next time I use it even if it does work the first time. It's so infuriating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fliptwister:
Well as much as I was expecting this cable to not make the difference for me it actually did. I finally got around to testing this cable on a longer road trip this weekend and it worked. I had a nearly 3 hour drive and it worked the whole time perfectly. I was doubtful because I had tried 3 other cables before trying this one. Thanks for the recommendation!

Android Auto Failure OS Based?

I have been battling this issue since last December after purchasing a Pixel 2XL and receiving the update.

I currently carry two cell phones; one a Google Pixel XL, and the other a Google Pixel2 XL. The Pixel XL is running 8.0 (not letting it update) and the Pixel 2XL is running 8.1 OS and both have an identical installed app list. The Pixel XL will successfully connect to Android Auto in three vehicles equipped with AA Head Units.

If I attempt to connect the Pixel2 XL via the USB cable to any of the three AA head units, Android Auto never launches and will not let me AUX or Bluetooth music, etc. I do notice a ‘flash’ on the screen like it is attempting to launch but does not. It may also display a message indicating that I should ‘stop the vehicle and check the connection on the phone’. It is interesting to note that the issue with Android Auto and the Pixel 2 XL did not start until after the late December update. Once the update installed the Pixel 2 XL would never connect again.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the apps multiple times with no luck. I have done 3 FDR’s on the Pixel2 XL with the same results. I have also swapped out the sims cards and the issue stayed with the Pixel2 XL and did not follow the sims card to the Pixel XL. I have also updated the firmware on both units without success. I have also replaced the USB cable with a factory OEM cable. I have pulled the head unit and ‘wiggled’ the cable at the head unit as well as the device port with no change. I have enable USB debugging with no success. I have been on the phone with Google Tech Support for hours and they refuse to warranty the device even though they have for others. Considering that both Pixels are identical excluding the chipset I keep coming back to the Pixel2 XL or their update being defective.

At this point I have deactivated the Pixel 2 XL and reactivated the Pixel XL and have altered settings so that it can’t update to 8.1.0 and suffer the same outcome. Needless to say, this is my first and last device purchased directly from Google. I love the device but can’t stomach doing business with a company that only wants to BS me with their scripted responses while never getting to the issue after I spent $1,000 for their product. Epic fail Google!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] techlogik:
Sad situation with Android Auto....was going to maybe throw Android P Beta on the phone just to test. Likely isn't going to work. Obvious issue with the phone itself and Android version running on it. Gosh I wish OnePlus supported Verizon...would ditch this phone is a second and go back to them. Don't care about some minor camera quality issues...I use a $4K DSLR and $5K lens if I want to do some pro quality photos, which is rare. Whatever most phones can muster is usually good enough for everyday photos.

Yeah...what to do...maybe wait for the HTC U12 price to drop down and move back to them...their Dev support is better anyway on XDA IMO, at least not any worse than Google's....haha...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] R3define:
Anyone have any updates on this? My XL flashes back and forth between charging and not. I've bought and tried the cable that others have had luck with. Debugging on and off and switching back and forth between plug ins. No dice. This is pretty irritating at this point. :(

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] famousface:
I have a Pixel 2xl with a 2017 Honda CRV. My old Samsung worked fine but the Pixel kept disconnecting. I bought a thicker cable and it disconnected a little less. I bought the Anker three foot USB C cable which is pretty thick. Doesn't disconnect now. My guess is that the Pixel with the USB C combo is touchy. Had no problems with my Samsung before. At least with the Pixel 2xl, the cable needs to be short and thick so there is no loss otherwise it disconnects. I messed with software, firmware updates, etc. The cable was it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Elbimster:
Hi all, I seem to be unable to get individual text notifications working on my S8+. That is, I go into the contact, I find where it says "Message Tone" and I set the tone I'd like to use. When I go in and look, everything seems to be correct.

Then when a text comes in, the default notification is still used. This is the case when both a tone that I added is used, or a built in tone. I had thought perhaps it was because I was using a 3rd party texting app (Textra, was not a fan of the default Samsung app), but even when I reset to the Samsung messages app, this was still the case (I even tried restarting the phone after setting messages as the default, just to make sure).

Anybody else having this issue? Anybody fix it? I've tried everything I can find, hopefully one of you can point out something obvious that I've missed.

Why did you return it just out of curiosity?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rodeojones:
Interestingly enough, it had nothing to do with the display. Mine was actually quite decent. I had issues with call quality, dropped signals, etc. But the kicker was the charging time. It was anything but rapid. Hadn't noticed it until today as I hadn't had to use the OEM charger until this afternoon. I only charged it once prior, and that was overnight with a 3rd party non rapid charger the first night I had it so I wasn't able to observe the speed. When I finally plugged it in with the included charger and cable it took 40 minutes to go from 13% to 20% and it was saying it would be fully charged in 5 hours.

If you want to know if it is cid unlocked try flashing a rom to it. If it is the rom will work if it isnt cid unlocked the RUU program will inform you that the rom was not designed for your device.

I am guessing that you have a G3 wizard if so download this

that contains the love rom lokiwiz (all versions) and an o2 official rom WM5 extract it and try running lokiwiz that will tell you if your device is unlocked or try flashing the o2 rom if it works its cid unlocked, if it reports back it is not designed for your device its locked.
