I'm hoping someone will be able to help me troubleshooting this. I've been trying to get this work switching between three phones.

Nexus 5 running LineageOS 14.1 Android 7.1.2

Pixel 2 XL Running Android 10/11

OnePlus 6T Running Oxygen OS 10.3.5

I want the Nexus 5 to be the slave in the end but I have also tried using the Pixel 2 as the slave. I have tried Running AAGateway on the Nexus 5 with wifi launcher on both the Pixel 2 and 6T. I have also tried running AAGateway on the Pixel 2 and manually configuring the Hotspot on the other devices with running head unit server off and on on all devices. No matter what process I try it always ends up the same. AAGateway pops up on the slave screen for a quick second and then goes away, on my car's screen it just shows the Android Auto logo and that is it.

A small update on this, Kick-starter had a requirement which is very difficult to full-fill. They wanted us (the company) to have the account number opened in Netherlands as the company is registered there. Opening the account in Netherlands when one of the company owner is not from NL is more difficult then it sounds at first (we did try that when we set up the company), so we have opted for an online bank account to start with, but Kickstarter does not accept that. Therefore we will be launching the project on IndieGogo which has no problem with an online bank account, and does also allow us to set the goal in USD instead of EUR.

So with no further dues, here it is what you have all been waiting for:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aawireless#/

Now share the news :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Hazou:
Very cool the project has a Go on Indiegogo. I do like to pay a perk, but I don't have a credit card. It just not that common in my country. Any other way to make a payment?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 49ml:
Thanks, I will back this when I can. Will the device work with my cars hardware buttons just like if I was plugged in? I have a Honda headunit.

Edit - Also, how does it work with multiple phones? My wife and I both use android auto when we drive, so what if we are in the car together?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] empty_space:
Seems like the 30-ish sec delay is caused by the unit powering up.

The fix that I am thinking for "instant" connection, would be to have a battery pack that keeps the unit alive, and charges when the vehicle is powered.

Any current draw measurements for the device at all? I'll start sizing out the battery needed for it.

Nice working putting this together, can't wait for it to be shipped out
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=4479363]Hazou[/MENTION] - not at the moment sorry [MENTION=3819896]49ml[/MENTION] - it will automatically connect to the last device used, we will probably add a logic to start looping trough the previously used devices, here we are opened to suggestions from users. If the last used device is not in range you can use it from any other phone as well. [MENTION=10443479]empty_space[/MENTION] - not so much. The device boots up in about 8-10 seconds (with wifi and BT running), then it takes quite a few seconds for the BT to pair and then the phone takes it time to connect to the wifi and launch AA. So about half the time is on phone side.

Is it possible to order multiple devices to save shipping costs?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Habibmustafa:
Cannot wait! Been waiting for years. Shipping is going to be from the Netherlands or from China? A bit steep at $20 for me, but I'm willing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] schranzistor:
Good question.... Any answer yet ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Genebaby:
Fantastic, this is what I've been waiting for, I have ordered two so far, will share the news.

Thanks for the answer. I also had another question.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Currently there is no way to merge multiple products in one shipping, but probably it will be possible after the project is successful and we can turn it into a proper web-shop.

For US customers we are in a dilemma if we are going to ship from NL or CH? For EU customers it will surely be NL, for all others CN will be easier, BUT it will expose us way too much, since it will mean we have to hand over everything to a virtually unknown partner risking having the whole thing copied.... On the other hand logistics and taxes are a pain, get all the boards to NL, pay import VAT, then flash them all, assemble them all, hand it over to a fulfilment center and ship them, then claim back VAT on all those going outside the EU makes it way more complicated.

It is also hard to negotiate deals as everyone ask for an approximation quantity, monthly orders, etc, and honestly we have no clue at this point.

We did put the shipping price a bit higher indeed (instead of the board price) as this logistics problem does increase the shipping cost significantly, plus we are not going to use any "slow, cheap" postage where mail does 90 days in transit.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes sorry nothing changes AA works the same way.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
Awesome! Have ordered my unit already ... I know you've commented on shipping for the US being a dilemma. Assume Canada is the same dilemma. If it matters, shipping from EU is fine with me even if it takes a little bit longer to get here.

Paypal

Hi Emil,

For some reason I cannot get indiegogo to accept my card payment. Can I paypal you directly? I definitely want in on the first run.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Link2811:
Hi Emil !

2 quick questions :

1) Can your product be updated, in case of bugs or software improvement ?

2) I remember you saying your product will remove some limitation of AA like the 4 taps in a row, is it still the case ?

In my car, I can't read messages or type with the keyboard unless I'm park, will it remove that too ?

Thank you for your hard work ! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] shmykelsa:
Hi Emil,

First of all, good luck for the campaign!

My questions are:

What about Carplay compatibility? A while ago you mentioned it like it was going to make it into final product

Will the cable between the box and the port be user-replaceable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] speedyg0nz:
Now that the Indiegogo campaign has been launched, should there be a separate thread to discuss this? Kinda messy to have both the existing thread and new hardware solution being mixed into one discussion. Alternatively, perhaps there could be a Discord channel for backers to get updates and also share information?

You need the second flow to disable after reboot.

Reboot your phone after you have the flow running and have it disconnected from your car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattalbrecht1234:
Nice!!! Confirmed working on both phones now- HTC M9 and Samsung Alpha. Thanks for the advice. Starting the AA server was the last step I was doing previously which must have been the issue. Seems to be even less lag than when wired as well. Play Music stutters at the beginning of songs or occasionally but that is it. :D:D
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Sn4pdragon:
I've been playing with the app for a couple of days now. I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 as the slave and a Xiaomi mi5s as the master. I can get it to work if I make sure the aagateway is closed on the slave (using llama) before it connects to the WiFi hotspot of the master, but first I have to restart master phone and then go into AA and launch the head unit. There have been the odd occasion when it all works without master being restarted but I can't work out why
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] atari800:
I finally got mine set up:

Slave: Samsung Galaxy Core (rooted) with AAGateway

Master: Samsung Galaxy S8+

Created AUTOMATE flow (thanks to this thread) to:

Start

- disable usb

- wait for power source (car on)

- wait for wifi connection to hotspot on master phone

- enable usb

- wait for power source to change (car off)

- go to Start of Flow

On my master phone, when I get out of vehicle, I need to turn off android car mode (slide finger from top of phone down and the option is there to turn it off). If I don't do this, I get crazy message on my head unit that the phone is not recognized

Now my problem is the data rate is slow. I can listen to Pandora and use Waze and Google Maps but I get artifacting/blur on screen. Not severe, but not clean either. It is very noticeable when I use Google Maps in Satellite mode, my maps looks like fish scales in a few moments of driving.

Thinking it was the Galaxy Core not having enough oooomph, I tried a Galaxy S6 (not rooted) as a slave. Same problem. I tried setting the wifi hotspot to 5Ghz, same problem. I tried 2 different usb cables, a Samsung one (supposedly) which is like 6' long and a 18" cable. Both give same results.

*When I use the cables on my computer to connect to the phone, they don't have a problem. But if there is a lot of traffic used on it between the slave and the head unit, it might be the cables are crap causing the problem.

And for reference, when I connect Galaxy S8+ with USBc cable directly to the vehicle, the maps look clear.

Anyone else experience something like this?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IGNITEDX:
I find going to 5 GHz on the hotspot make the whole experience a lot smoother. Same phones, same cable, same head unit.

What is a suggestion for an android tv stick I can use for this? I do not currently have an extra phone for a slave.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
Still trying to figure out the "Connect to PC" issue. I took a look at the logcat when I turned the setting on and off, and this is what I found:

07-21 15:23:39.206 D/UsbSettings(1450): read form file /sys/bus/platform/drivers/usb20_otg/force_usb_mode
07-21 15:23:40.784 D/UsbSettings(1450): Write2File,write mode = 1
07-21 15:23:43.415 D/UsbSettings(1450): Write2File,write mode = 2

The setting was already turned on, so when it says "write mode = 1" is when I turned "Connect to PC" off. Hopefully somebody can recommend something to do with this information. Is there a way to force that setting with Tasker or Automate?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wowzors:
Just to make sure I am using the OTG port on the MK809IV and not the DC port? I tried using the stick today in the car with the OTG and got nothing. I started the car waited for phone to connect to Bluetooth then turned on the hotspot and then started the head unit server. The MK809IV was plugged into the car prior to start up via console USB to the MK809IV OTG port.

The stick has Automate with saklods AA flow and B flow set to start on boot and I used his quick boot changes to build.prop I also gave Automate SU access and Denied AAGateway SU access.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SLAB_8002:
So with my meager skills, I was at least able to figure out that if I used a root explorer, navigated to /sys/bus/platform/drivers/usb20_otg, and edited the file force_usb_mode to change the value from 1 to 2, it would turn on "Connect to PC". However, it resets the value to 1 every time it reboots. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to prevent that.

OK, I figured out a way to do this with Tasker on a rooted MK809iv. I created a new profile using Event > System > Device Boot as the trigger. That profile executes a task for which I set the action Code > Run Shell, then entered the command

echo 2 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/usb20_otg/force_usb_mode

I rebooted my stick, and although it took a few seconds, eventually the "Connect to PC" setting was turned on. Now I just need to figure out how to set the default app to AAGateway. It asks me that every time, even though I set it to Always.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

Did you check the "Connect to PC" setting was checked under Settings > USB? My first guess would be that the flows didn't work for some reason. Yes, it should be the OTG port and not the DC port.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
1st make sure all permissions needed are given in automate under each flow not just SU.

2nd Try to have the head unit server running then turn on the Hotspot and make sure to check if your stick has connected to it.

I have made some updates on the flows that should work even better, I will upload them soon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wowzors:
Are permissions given to the flows via properties? I didn't see any option to give the actual flows permissions there was a check box under start and stop but it seemed unrelated.

Thank you for all of your help and your work on the flows by the way. I do not mean to sound ungrateful I appreciate everyone in this thread helping.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
Actualy those checkbox's are the permissions :D

Check if both flows are given the permissions needed and try it then.

And you're most welcome, I just hope it works for you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
I've found two minor issues with using my old flows, one is that if I turned my car on remotely the stick will boot and turn USB on before it connects to my phone's Hotspot, so when I finally arrive to the car it won't work, so I changed my first flow to turn the USB connection only when it's connected to the Hotspot.

The second thing is that if I left my car while AA is working and the stick disconnects from my Hotspot AA will freeze and won't work even if the Hotspot is reconnected until I unplug the stick and replug it and wait for a reboot.

So I created flow C which will wait for a change in the wifi connection status and disable the USB when wifi is disconnected which will turn off AA and then once I come back to my car it will reactivate the USB which will launch Android Auto in a matter of seconds.

I'll post the new flows and the how to in a moment.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Salkod:
If you already have my flows just delete flow AA and add flow AAA and flow C, make sure to open both flows and edit the connected to wifi block by clicking on it then pick network and choose your hotspot.

And here's the new steps if you're starting from scratch:

1. Create a Hotspot on your master phone, then connect to it on your TV stick.(this is important for a later step).

2. Install AAGateway, open it and deny it SU permissions.

3. Download automate and from settings check start at boot.

4. Download the following flows (all three have to be running for this to work).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ejoyrrysps47o33/C.flo?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nzhs2e3yxaci3tg/AAA.flo?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4uk3zx3savmmpm/BB.flo?dl=0

5. Add them to automate then edit flow AAA and flow C to change the "connected to wifi" block by pressing on it then on pick network and choose the name of the Hotspot (the flows will not work of they don't know the name of the Hotspot so this is a must).

6. start the 3 flows and give them all the permissions required (you'll find them as checkboxs under Start and stop in each flow).

7. Make sure AA headunit server and the hotspot is running on your phone.

8. Connect your stick to your car and wait for the stick to boot.

To recap:

Flow AAA will take care of launching AAgateway and turning the connect to pc setting on only if the stick is already connected to your phone.

Flow BB will take care of picking AAgateway as default if the prompt appears.

Flow C will take care of disconnecting and reconnecting the stick to USB whenever the stick loses connection to your phone.

This will allow you to remotely start your car and the stick will wait for the WiFi connection to your hotspot to connect to USB which will launch Android Auto almost instantly, it will also allow for you to leave the car while running as the stick will disable the USB when it loses connection to your phone which will close AA and then once you're back and the connection is reestablished, USB connection will be reactivated and android auto will relaunch immediately.

This was only tested on an MK 809 IV stick but I've been told that it works on other similar sticks.

I hope this works with everyone, goodluck.

I noticed something in my setup using AAGATEWAY...

I got a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring Edition.... This has heads up display (reflects info off of windshield to driver - next turn road name, compass, distance to next turn count down), when I incorrectly connect this up (slave to head unit before master is ready for example), my navigation on HUD no longer appears even thought the head unit speaks directions. To fix this, I need to do a factory reset to get it back. This happened 3 times today, I am fairly certain its when it gets a "not supported" device detection. At least it is fixable.

Very much agree! 317 pages of this already dealing with troubleshooting the software package with various phone/media stick devices. Time for a new one that is dedicated to Emil's AAWireless singular hardware. Either here or Discord works for me although I would prefer the latter since I already spend so much time there.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rag3:
I think cycling is a good idea, maybe last 3-5 devices. At the same time it would be good to be able to force the device in pairing mode: when we are in the car with a known device which connects automatically but we want another phone to connect instead.

To answer the last few questions, sorry if anyone got a hint that carplay will be supported by launch, it is just a though where we might go next, not on the actual roadmap.

Whoa, turns out it was the cable/USB connector on the slave, which I've been using for months. Tried multiple USB cables, and then it finally worked again.

I have to say that if you're having trouble getting this to work, try switching out the cable. I never really believed this would be such a major source of trouble.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
I've been using it for more than a year with Nexus 6 (LineageOS) slave, Pixel 3 master, Honda Clarity head unit. AAGateway 2.03 (I believe; it's in my car) was the only one that worked consistently for me. I occasionally (10% of the time) have to unplug and replug the master to get it to work.

HUR On Rasp Pi 4 GB

Hi

Here's the link...

https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi4/LineageOS17.1/

My phone is running Android 10 and Rasp Pi 4 4gb is running Android 10 haven't tried on earlier phones OS. All I did was run HUR on Pi with phone plugged with no OTG adapter and make sure the USB recognizes the phone you see the phone pop up on screen with the Green Check Mark Tap OK. Of course you have AA on phone setup to Developers and Tap Start HU Server. Should Start up anytime you plug in.

Hope this helps

Johnny:cool:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] prabhjots:
Ah, I will try downgrading AAGateway version too. Which Android Auto version are you on? Also, what's your bluetooth setup? do you pair with the car or the slave?

I have been trying to get this working with the MK809V stick. It must have worked all of 2-3 times. Once it worked flawlessly, and once it started working and I changed from GPM to YT Music on the headunit, it "crashed", displaying "No device connected".

Since then, it goes on a continuous loop, it connects to HUR, the screen shows loading, home screen shows Android Auto Icon for 2 seconds, and goes back to "No device connected". A few seconds later it repeats the process.
