Can you grab me a bug report please from the master? Did you give Wifi Launcher for HUR app on the master permission to draw over other apps, that's required if you're phone is running Android 10. If your master is running Pie, you don't need to give that permission.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Got it, had a look at it, the master actually does connect all good, it also initiates the connection to the slave, but then it simply dies off (Android Auto that is).

Is the Auto Launch option inside Android Auto turned off?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] uns33n:
I'm looking in to this now I've got a 5008 myself. What TV stick have you used and maybe it's just me being new to the car but is there a way to make Android Auto the default so it goes straight to it rather than apps > android ?

Where to get a TV stick at this time of night! :laugh:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Yep auto launch is off.

I do have another log where I pull the usb out from the head unit and plug back in several tomes. Each time the master shoes the AA notification but it then disappears. I can send that if you like, but by the sounds of things will show exactly the same as the last log.

I have just dug out an old Nexus 7 which is rooted running Android 7. So going to test with that too.

So have...

S7 rooted android 9

Nexus 7 rooted android 7.1

Xiaomi Mi8 not rooted android 9

Happy to test any scenarios which may help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
It's actually the AA on the master which is playing up, not wanting to fire up correctly. For sh!t and giggles, install AA on the S7 and try to use the Nexus 7 as the slave and the S7 as the master, with exactly same setup as you have now, curious to see if AA will launch correctly in that case, my bottom dollar says it will.

Do OnePlus phone's not allow mobile data while connected to the slave hotspot?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes it does. I'm on OP7 Pro, however it might be turned off.

Go to Settings -> Wifi -> Wifi Preferences and make sure that "Auto switch to mobile data" is enabled.

If you are talking about the selection of the master BT on the slave, it is my experience with the new version is that it is the other way round. On my rooted stick it is enabled but on my non-routed slave phone it is disabled. I will try to clear the cache and data tomorrow to see if that changes.

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

you must be thinking of somebody else with this 20 sec. timeout.

How do I get round the problem on the stick with not reporting that is charging?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
At the moment you can't pass the charging limit. I might add an option to specify if it's a TV stick.

When non-root mode is enabled only then the BT selection should be available

I've now got it working perfectly with the 809v and my moto g3 as slaves.

Had to do full wipe and root the moto g, its running stock moto android 6

In both instances I'm using my master s10 as the hotspot and connecting the slave to it rather than the other way around
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Just installed fresh ROMs on both and tried as suggested.

The master (S7) starts to connect to HUR, states it's obtaining IP address for a while then connects and says no internet. Whilst this is happening I can see the hotspot on the slave turn off then back on and the loop starts again.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
What was the slave? Was it the Nexus? Can you grab a bug report please from it?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
The slave was the nexus. It was about 10 mins ago. Will a big report still work of taken now?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Not sure... If not tomorrow is fine I'm not doing more work tonight anyway.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
I'll grab a fresh one tomorrow when I try again. To confirm this a bug report from the slave?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes bug report from the slave after the hotspot did a couple of loops
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
Perfect. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Just sent the bug reports now.

I know i have a rooted one plus one somewhere. If neither the nexus or the s7 work, I'll try and find that.

Again thanks for all the help with this :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] charles8814:
could you let me know how to export the bug report? My master is Galaxy s10 5g running with android10

+

And I have a suggestion, I used a systemless root ROM for my slave phone. In this case if I move the AA gateway app to system, then the app disappear when I reboot the phone. But it works fine with just giving root permission without move to system(I clicked NO in every time). So please make a 'do not ask forever' option.

Thanks

Here is my setup

Car Head unit: Kia Sorento 2019 OEM

Master : Samsung Galaxy S10 running android 10

Slave : Xiomi mi A1 running android 9

Installed AAwifigateway beta on the slave

Setup hotspot and tethering on the slave

Connected slave to the Car head unit vis USB

Got the message on the slave “choose an app for the USB device and out of two options (AAwifigatewaye and Android auto) I selected AAwifigateway option

On the slave got the message that Head unit reloaded wifi service running.

On the master, connected Master to slave using hotspot created by the slave. Master is also connected to Car head unit via Bluetooth. But on the Car head unit no option to start android auto?????

In a normal situation if I connect my S10 (master) directly to my car’s head unit via USB I get an option to click on android auto but in this case not sure what am I missing here. Any suggestions ???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sibesaver:
I have a Kenwood head unit and it comes up to a black/blank screen. Then I have to hit the home/apps button on the head unit to get to the Android Auto button choice. Not sure you're seeing the same thing though.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Ive Not figured a way to set the car to auto launch android auto.

I'm using an mk809v, I bought one on ebay about a year ago when Emil first suggested this was his main test device.

The 809v is old and getting hard to find now, its still available on alibaba/aliexpress,

Emil, the orange/banana pi might be best way to go for the standard recommended device?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
In Kia, the moment I connect my S10 thru USB , the Android auto button shows up on the main screen which is not showing up when I connect through this app. I checked all other places too still no go :(

Hi , in a moment of impertinant's I bought one of these Android TV Stick H96 Pro Android 7.1 TV Box Mini PC Amlogic S912 Octa-core 64 Bit True 4K HDR TV Dongle Smart TV Box 2G/16G , could you let me know if this atleast has a chance of working ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes will add an option.

1. Enabling Developer Mode

1. Open Settings > About phone.

2. Scroll down to the Build number.

3. Tap the Build number 7 times in quick succession until "You're now a developer" appears.

4. Return to the Settings menu and select Developer options.

5. At the top of the screen, make sure 'Developer options' is set to On (green).

6. Scroll down to Debugging and enable both USB debugging and Bug Report Shortcut on (green).

7. Tab on Logger buffer sizes: Default setting is 256K. Select 16M to help capture more information for debugging. Of note, it can affect the apps performance especially with lower spec phone, so change it back after you have finished submitting bug reports.

2. Capturing a Bug Report

It's very important to do this right after you experience the issue again, so your device can log at least one occurrence of the issue.

1. Hold the Power button down until the menu appears.

2. Select Take bug report. and wait for the device to capture the bug report.

3. Tap the 'Bug report captured' notification when it appears.

4. Share the bug report. (I recommend to email it to yourself.)

5. Download the bug report to your computer.

6. Send the bug report by email to borconie@gmail.com

Was the slave running in ROOT or NON-ROOT mode?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yes doing tests on this, I did found some promising devices, sub $30 with EMMC as well, which mean fast boot... but I need to make sure things will work before endorsing it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
Here's my experience (Honda Clarity headunit, slave is rooted Nexus 6 running Android 9, master is unrooted Pixel 3 running Android 10). With the root option activated, I could never get the slave to connect: the headunit would always say "No device connected." With the no-root option activated, things seem to work fine, as they did with the most-recent private beta.

My only problem with the most-recent beta is that the system would stop working every half hour or so, requiring unplugging/replugging of the slave and toggling Bluetooth on the master. Also, if the master wasn't immediately available when the car was turned on (if a valet was getting my car, for instance), I would have to unplug/replug and toggle Bluetooth.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Emil, I have a question. My car is a honda civic X.

The headunit is android device and with a little hack (honda hack) its posible to install apps that not have google services.

I think...... its posible install the app directly in the headunit and not use a slave device???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Unfortunately I get the same thing I've got previously with this release

Not able to select android auto or maps and usually it would automatically go on this.

Ford focus MK3.5 ST sync 3

OnePlus 7t pro master android 10

Samsung j5 2017 android 9 rooted non system app
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] propi62:
i have exactly the same problem.

new version does not work but the privat beta works for about 30min and thene (crashes? disconnect)

i would love to test a new version and report back...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You can install HUR directly on the Honda instead of using the Gateway app.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Apparently the exact 30 minutes disconnect is caused by the WiFi launcher on the master. Once the 2 device connects exit the WiFi launcher and you should be good for more then 30 minutes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Sorry Emil, but i dont understand you.

My honda radio have android auto but i need to connect by cable to my phone

If I install HUR app in the honda, android auto conects with my android phone without cable???? :-O

My intention is use android auto of my phone with the honda without cables. And for this i use the slave phone and master with the apps of this post.

Is there any other solution?

thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
HUR is the car software with many other enhancements, which allows you to use any Android powered unit to act as a head unit, it allows wireless connection, DPI adjust, etc... So you can give it a try
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Ok thanks a lot. I will try to test it in the next days.

The problem with my honda "android radio" is that not support google services. I can install apps from a pendrive but not from google play store. Maybe this is a problem.

on the other had, i test today the proxy/Gateway method with a new slave: Motorola MotoG gen1 whin lineageOS and whithout google apps. And works fine!! The slave is the hotspot and master conect to it.

But i have a question. Whit this method in the master apears a message that the wifi dont have internet conection and i must push in a buton to "use data mobile". Its posible that the hotspot is the master and not the slave??? If the hotspot was the slave the internet works and this was not a problem. Its posible?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
Emil, I can't get root slave mode working with my Honda. I think it expects whatever waiting screen that non-root mode does. Maybe the window to establish the connection is too narrow in root mode. Has this been your experience?

Speaking in general with respect to HUR on rooted Hondas and my experience: AAGateway is a much better solution. Native steering wheel controls, climate control silencing during OK Google, better audio mixing, etc. HUR can't do any of that unless the app is completely rewritten to hook into completely undocumented frameworks. And for Hondas in particular, I believe that we're forced to have the phone running the headunit server and hotspot. Wifi Direct isn't an option. I've never considered these trade-offs to be worth it even if the Honda headunit is uniquely flexible. If the situation has changed in the past few months, I'm definitely willing to try again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
hello, wich honda do you have?.

I have a Civic X (typer) and i thing the HUR maybe was better but maybe you are right, the HONDA android is slow slow slow. maybe is not the best solution.

For the AAGateway i use 2 phones as slave and works fine, the trick for me is not install google apps in the phone. I use a custom rom (lineageOS) and never installe google apps. This works for me in the 2 phones i try as slave.

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

Yes I can confirm that the BT selection on the slave is only enabled in non-root mode.

Tried it in non root mode , selecting the master BT but also no success with either hotspot on master or slave.

I'm waiting on your change to the app to enable user to specify whether the slave is a stick or not, as it is not necessary to check whether the stick has power as it will not work without it as it has no battery!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] propi62:
i tested alot of different things: all apk versions available, different slaves, rooted and non rooted, all possible methodes-slave hotspot/master hospot, and all possible settings in your apks and android auto. i uninstalled about 100 times/cleared cache/force stopped apps/gave permissions, etc. i tried for many hours till late at night in the holyday time. one problem was the waiting time for my car to shut down the system completely, with power off the car and open the door so i could make another try. outdoor it was very could because the car heating unit was not running and i could not turn of the lights completely. (maybe my neighbours think im crazy now because ot many door slams and light problem)

what worked best for me was the slave HUR hotspot with AndroidAutoConnect on private beta.

i also think the problem is the app on the master that triggers to connect to the slave predefined hotspot)

i tried to automate it with macrodroid app. (connect to HUR Wifi whene bluetooth connects to car with android head unit running in the background with no success.

at one time i gave up and i wait for new versions to test.

//EDIT

i will try to close wifi launcher after connect and report back if its running longer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
With your slave with no Google apps, do you use root or without?

Also what version of Android is the slave?

Interested to see if I can try a similar set up to you to see if I can get it to work too.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
I use 2 diferente slaves:

MotoG gen1: LineageOS 17 unnoficial (Android 10). Not Google Apps instaled. Root with Magisk 20.2

Xiaomi mi5s: LineageOS 16 official (Android 9). Not Google Apps instaled. Root with Magisk 20.2

Whith the same motoG gen1 with other lineageOS and google apps i have problems. maybe google apps are the problem? i dont know
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] LLStarks:
2018 CR-V EX

And it doesn't look like the newer headunit in the Accord is rootable, yet.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Just set up my slave (S7) with lineageOS 16 rooted and didn't install gapps, but same outcome as if had installed gapps.

The android auto notification pops up on my master (Xiaomi Mi8) but then disappears about 5 seconds later and nothing on the head unit.

I have also tried the non root way, but I get the splash screen for about 2 seconds then my head unit says it's disconnected from the slave.

Not sure which part out of the 3 is causing the issues, but will try another master when I can get my hands on one just to rule out it's not miui that's causing the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
my master is xiaomi mix2s with xiaomi.eu rom (rooted with magisk too).

one the master is connected to the slave (via wifi) try to launch the headunit server in the master manually (in android auto app)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Thanks I'll give this a go tomorrow. Is this for using root or non rooted way?

My Mi8 is still running stock, but you give me hope as yours is working! Will have a look into rooting it this weekend.

Are you running Android 10 or 9 on your mix2s?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
The slave is running in a I guess root mode?? Non root mode button is greyed out, here is the screenshot

[IMG="screenshot"]https://ibb.co/W6B8b66[/IMG]
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
I use android 10 because xiaomi.eu is a rom that use the base os betas of miui chinese with a lot of languajes (spanish in my case)

I use the root mode in slave because slave are rooted. In master i onlye use the "wifi launcher for HUR" and this not need rooted
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
I get exactly the same on my Ford focus mk4 with sync 3. I use a Oneplus 7 pro as master and a rooted OnePlus one as slave
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Thanks. Just tried manually starting AA head unit server, but unfortunately it made no difference.

Have just found an old oneplus1 running Android 6 rooted. Which I have put the gateway app onto. This have given me the exact same outcome as when i use the s7 as the slave. AA notification showing on the master for 5 seconds and then disappears.

To me this means it's either my master (Mi8) that's the issue or my head unit.

Next test is using my S7 as a master to see if that works with the oneplus1 as the slave.

Apologies for spamming this thread btw! Just keen to get this working if I can.

Edit....

Using the s7 as the master and the oneplus1 as the slave gave the same result. AA notification stating connected to car but then disappears after 5 seconds. But nothing happening on the head unit.

Which I believe leaves only the head unit which is the issue. Or possibly the way the slave is trying to reconnect to my head unit once the connection between the slave and master has completed.

These steps Emil gave me works successfully, so fingers crossed there's still some hope left!

1) Master, manually start the Headunit Server

2) Master create a Wifi hotspot

3) Slave connect slave to master hostpot

4) Open AAgateWay, turn off tethering option and select the masters Wifi, leave it in ROOT mode!

5) Exit AAGateWay

6) While the devices are still connected plug in slave to the car, watch both screens to see what's happening.

I saw today some bug report where the slave acted in an un-intended way, not sure what was causing it at all.

I'm away till Friday, I've ordered 2 new devices to test as slave (but that will take time till they arrive, one from Poland one from China).

2 bugs where discovered in the Wifi Launhcer for HUR app as well, one is fixed (where user experienced strange returning to home screen out of the blue) and one where users got disconnected at exactly 30 minutes after the connection took place. I've addressed the first one but second one is still work in progress.

[MENTION=7106033]Marshy33[/MENTION] I will be sending you some test versions for the slave. [MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION] - That is really strange I know for fact that Ford will work with both ways... I'll email you on the weekend or early next week to do some step by step debugging see where the problem is.

Also I saw someone saying that the private beta worked/works fine but not this one, not sure who it was, can that please email me as well (after Friday) so I can see what's happening...

Hi Emil, I've only had it working on my car on the old releases it never worked on the private beta or this one.

Happy to do testing with you over the weekend. Email me on the usual address. Can possible step by step debug next week but weekends are best if possible your end.

I can try other devices my work has loads of old android phones but I'm not sure it will make a difference. Although both me and the other guy do have OnePlus as the master in common with our fords so maybe relating to that, but I think it never worked for me on the private beta on my note 9 either.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I'm on OnePlus master as well (stock no root) so... well... odd, but loads of old phones will be nice down the line for test and making list of good slave devices, but that's only after we have it running correctly and reliable one at least a handful of them.
