I'm having some trouble keeping it working on my qashqai.

It works about 20% of the time, usually when both slave ( nexus 6p root) and master ( s10+) are rebooted and setup, it'll work, but after exiting the vehicle and reentering a while later, it won't start.

The slave keeps asking to set the app as default, which i keep doing but it doesn't seem to stay, or realize it's default. So I have to keep re-set it as default. this happens almost every time.

The master doesn't seem to start or quit tethering all the time. Starting usually works, but disconnecting/stopping is a lot more trouble.

Any Ideas on where to start troubleshooting?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] drnightshadow:
Yes, simple answer is Tasker (automatic setting up default on wifi/bt connection). This "evil plan" saved me 1000x times, really easy and useful app (google for tutorial).

Good luck.

Rather weirdly I still cannot download apps from XDA labs (including AAGateway) but ONLY to the MK808B stick i plan to use as the slave. I too get the 'download failed! something went wrong' error.

Yet I can download apps from XDA las app to the master device (Xiaomi M1 A1) which would suggest the certificate issue is resolved?

So why is AAGatway and all other XDA app downloads still failing to the rooted slave/mk808b?

Suggestions welcome as I can't fathom it :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alexo95:
Try clearing cache for xdalabs on the mk808
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
On Android 10 (and OP7 Pro Open Beta... every version), XDA labs doesn't work. So I downloaded the app on my old OP5 with Android Pie and moved the apk to my phone.

I didn't used the app yet because of lack of time and doubt on does it works on AA of Android 10 ?

BTW I will test it :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] acrawle3:
Thanks alexo95, tried that but no joy.

Can;t seem to find any settings on the MK808B plus that would stop ALL downloads from XDA labs app.

Weird thing is that I can download the XDA apk and install, also app from the play store. It's just ANY app (including AAGatway) from the labs apps installed on the MK808b plus TV stick.

Works perfectly on my Phone though.

OK, Op7 pro as master with android 10, op5 as slave, head unit alfaromeo Giulia... Works: a bit tricky to work but... It works!!

Thinking of trying to use AA on a intel sofia joying 10.1. With my att note 9. ? Anybody have luck with this???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shafeey:
Tried today with the new version. Couldn't make it work.

Master: Galaxy S9+ on Pie

Slave: Nexus 5x on Oreo 8.1 (LineageOS)

Headunit: Honda Accord 2016

Problem:

1. Slave connects to the car, enables hotspot and shows the splashscreen - "Waiting for master to connect".

2. Master connects to the hotspot about two minutes later. I get notification that Android Auto is connected to the car. The black Android Auto screen on master starts to appear for a fraction of second and goes away.

3. At this point, master still shows that Android Auto is connected. Slave never changes its "waiting for master" state.

I tried rebooting master, turning on and off WiFi at this point but they don't work. My guess is the problem is on the Master side.

This is fine for a head unit with wi-fi connectivity but most head units do not have wi-fi. That is why Emil's solution will be such a game changer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
Most currently available head units don't have wireless capabilities. That's what this (AAGateway) project is all about.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] leodb:
Tried many times and different ways, but no luck.

head unit: Opel intellilink (Opel Astra sport tourer 2017)

Slave: LG L90 (Android 5.0.2 stock, no root)

Master: Asus ZenFone 3, android 8.1, stock, no root ( Tried with AA from 4.6 to 4.8)

Slave rarely connect, and when connect master is not able to connect to slave (maybe for moments, one time I saw two notifications, one was connected to master and other waiting for master).

Slave asks everytime which app to use as default.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Pedroenf:
I know that. I was using Emil app too. Just trying to help.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Kia promised me they will get back to me last week never did, I will keep trying to get my hands on a Kia to do some more digging. Apparently connection get dropped on some Audi cars as well. I'm gathering more data at the moment
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Shafeey:
Wanted to post an update. Used my Galaxy S9+ on Pie as slave, and Galaxy S10 on Pie as Master for testing. Rebooted HeadUnit and both phones, then connected slave using cable after headunit boot completed. Waiting screen popped up immediately on headunit. After about 90 seconds, Android Auto was running flawlessly. The interface was smooth.

However, after I disconnected master or slave, it won't reconnect before I reboot all of them. I will try some combinations to pinpoint the problem's source over next weekend.

In the meantime, I have a request for the wifilauncherforhur.apk used on the Master. Can there be a switch on the app to let the master (running Pie) choose to create the hotspot instead of tethering to slave. This isn't super necessary but might provide more flexibility in setup for some people.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Updated the Wifi Launcher for HUR, those how recently emailed me for the test apk and got all the instructions in email, but where not able to have the 2 device connected, should give it another try with the updated Wifi Launcher app. Those who did not participated in the test, please ignore this post.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] TheOriginalDrange:
If you need someone to test the new software on a KIA I drive a 2018 Sorento. My main phone is a Galaxy S10+ and the slave is a rooted Galaxy S5. I'd be willing to provide troubleshooting data to help with your KIA problem. I am not currenlty using your program as it would crash(the beta) on my S10+ and the alpha would require numerous reboots/restarts to get it working.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] XQC:
Can confirm Pixel 2 XL as master and Huawei P10 as auxiliary working :good::good::good:

I found this app for automated Wifi-hotspot, it starts a hotspot when it is connected to the car's bluetooth.

Pixel 2 XL as master device roughly uses 500mAh during the trip. That's ok, but it's getting pretty warm, too.

I only tested it for 10 minutes or so, so I can't say anything about stability or lag. For now I am trying a 5GHz hotspot which both devices support, in theory it should be a better and faster connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zsamson:
Is anyone getting the No defaults set for Android Auto USB when trying to setup? It says app needs to be set as default action for Android Auto. I am getting this message when using a rooted Android TV stick. I did give it root permissions and restarted but keep getting this message.

EDIT: MK809 IV running Android 5.1.1. I got it to go through once. But it seems like it doesn't remember the setting. Can anyone help on this or is anyone having the same issue? I'm stuck here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled without luck.

Does anyone know if fire stick would work? They are $20 today. Also, was wondering if the stick has to be plugged in directly into the car or if I could use an extension usb cord?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Not sure about the fire stick but the slave has to be plugged into a Android auto port.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mistermojorizin:
Can it go

AA Port --> USB extension cable --> slave?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Yes but depending on the slave device cable length can cause issues. Try the shortest possible for your application and a high end extension cable to match USB specs of the slave. Don't go cheap.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] R3define:
Same problem. Can't get it to connect and it says there is no default app setup for Android Auto.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zsamson:
Glad I'm not the only one. Been messing around for a couple hours and gave up for now. What device are you using and are is it rooted?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] R3define:
Haha. Same. And I meant to say I'm using the exact same thing. Rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] lyrical1278:
Same happened to me with my Moto being the slave.. I had to clear defaults and make sure the AA server was running on my Pixel 2 (it was, my radio was even saying AA was connected but it wasn't coming up)

So, a total reboot of all devices later, plugged the Moto (the slave phone) into my radio (Pioneer 2300 NEX), and i got the pop up asking to set AAGateway as the default, started the server on my Pixel, and everything worked as it should.

Even did everything from a cold start again a few times to see if it would work fine.

Now, I'll just wait to see if everything fires up properly in the morning

I think part of the problem is that it never pops up to use AAGateway as the default app for AA. :/ I've tried multiple different things and no luck.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Jainyankee1993:
Yeah I'm lost too. Tried with s8 as the slave. Didn't work. Going to try with the note 5 tomorrow. For some reason I think it's Samsung phones that are the problem
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] starslicer:
It works with my old Samsung S6 as a slave, and my S8 as a master. However, getting there took a while.

At first, I plugged in the S6 and it would just start charging and do nothing else. It wasn't giving me an option for USB to use MTP. I updated the S6s software and then took it back to my car and plugged it in. It gave me the ability to transfer with MTP instead of only charging. Then I fired up the S8s hotspot and connected the S6 to it. Then I fired up the S8s head unit emulator in Android Auto. Still nothing, I stared at the projection icon on my screen with dismay. Out of desperation I hit the projection button and a message came up saying only the S6 would show up on the screen. (May have been a coincidence) I was confused because it was the slave but hit the ok button anwyays. So then after that, the option of Android Auto or AAGateway came up. I picked AAGateway, then the icon changed and I was able to use everything. By the way, I had both phones paired to my cars bluetooth at the time also. Not sure if that will have any impact or not. I later unpaired them with no loss of service.

As for how it works. It works good. It skips music every like 3-5 minutes and lags a bit but its expected in an alpha. It's actually really impressive stuff.

My next experiment will be with my MK809IV. Then after that, I'm going to connect the MK809IV to my cars WIFI then try to share the wifi back to my S8 to see if all of this will run in reverse and I can keep the hotspot off my S8. I suspect it will not, but I want to try out everything.

Good work, Emil.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bggold:
Check to make sure aa is not installed on the slave phone. Also clear open defaults for aagateway. Worst case clear all data for it.

Also have found that once it works I sometimes have to kill GPS on the master.

I had about a 2 hour run of not working after it worked since it was released. Finally got it working again.

I've been automating most of the stuff so probably a good idea to add a kill for GPS after blue tooth disconnects and hotspot it turned off.

If I can be of any assistance while Emil is away feel free to ask.

[MENTION=5437072]bggold[/MENTION], can you write down detailed step by step instructions how to connect..

Also some dos and don'ts..

Tried last 3 hrs... No luck
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=5859142]zsamson[/MENTION], @ R3define- Try to disable Google Play Services on your TV stick (it can sometimes reset the defaults!) If rooted version cannot get it to work, please follow my instructions on how to do it without root.

[MENTION=4342019]Jainyankee1993[/MENTION] - Did you had a prompt on the slave asking AAGateWay to be the default app when you plugged into the car, if not try go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> Google Play services -> Clear defaults.

[MENTION=3838350]swasha123[/MENTION] - On some occasions Android Auto can get stuck on the master, try to force stop Google Play services on the master, then do a reconnect.

Also if you are using newer phones for the slave (mainly Samsung, they need to change the USB mode to MIDI to work when they are plugged into the car) which imho will make the whole setup very un-practical... my advice, dig out some older phones I've compiled the current version with a min-SDK of 14 that means the app can be installed on anything with IceCream and up will work. For the full release I will lower this hopefully to 2.3 so you could use the ancient Gingerbread phone which you still have at the bottom of the drawer :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I will need someone with a Kia near me or so, to be able to test in car (sometimes I do like 40-50 builds and much more plugs and unplugs till I can move a bit more closer to the final step)... thanks for the offer....

I will chase up Kia again, or try to find another dealer in some other city...

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Bit of a weird one, so i managed to get this far but couldn't get AA to actually show on the screen, music and media controls were working and the Android Auto info was displayed as shown and live updated but no actual AA interface.

To clarify i also tried selecting Android Auto and Maps but nothing happened.

I also don't think the internet connection was continuing to work while tethered to the slave which it's my understanding it should.

Hi all,

I report my experience with test app by Emil. I just send detailed mail to Emil but I post here my feedback anyway:

I tried many attemps with this configuration without success:

Slave MK809III rooted

Master: Xiaomi Mi9 Android 10 with Wifi launcher for HUR

VW Polo

Master connects right to slave hotspor with wifi launcher for hur, but nothing appear on dashboard of car, any splash screen “wait for master” show.

I see in SuperSU log that AaWifiGateway doesn’t ask any permission, I have set SuperSU on “always grant without prompt” and works correctly for another apps and for previous version of AAgateway that show on log, so I think is this why doesn’t works. What do you think about?

For these test I connected slave to the car like you describe in your guide and I connect HDMI to a mini portable tv in the car for see if it working correctly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alexo95:
I believe emil is aiming for this to work without root, which would be why it isnt asking for superuser permission
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] The Android Attorney:
Doesn't this already work without root?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
There is an optional part which require root on master and if you want to use a TV stick it must be rooted... Otherwise not.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nencio92:
Hi, now tested with slave Huawei P smart 2018 no root.

Dashboard of my car VW polo show that there's decice that can connect to android auto, but after select it doesn't connect succesfully; smartphone show setting for USB, charge or file transfer, but anytime car attempts to enstabilish connection it fail.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I wouldn't say that, indeed slower then I wanted, and while the new version had good test results on some cars it wasn't successful on the others. If you read trough the posts I was running test and renting cars to get it all working. But setbacks where way too many indeed, however project is not dead by far.

Anyone else get updated to AA version 4.8.59xxx on Android 10?

I'm having issues keeping a constant connection. Tried clearing all cars and AA data, tried various USB cables both hardwired and with AA gateway which was working flawlessly before on 4.7.

Can't uninstall AA or downgrade AA on this version since it's now a system app. Google frustrates me with their lack of consistent functionality
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sabaatworld:
Download the new version from APK Mirror and install it. I've tested it. You may also be able to uninstall updates for the system app using the built in settings after removing it as the default app etc.

Hi, testing AAgateway for about 2 months, such a cool stuff when have wireless charger in my car. I faced with only one problem, sometimes AAgateway getting stuck and i need to reboot my phone and kill AAgateway process. It happens randomly once a week or once a day.

I started to use tasker to shut down AAgate way after every car bluetooth disconnection and launch AAgateway after bluetooth is connected, but every time now, i have to tap on Manual start. Could anybody let me know the tasker command to make AAgateway manual start?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
The app itself is super awesome and I really thank the Dev a lot, but I have a weird problem of heating on my OP7 Pro, only when I'm using AA in WiFi through AAGateWay.

Yes, I do have the same problem of the master heating and it remains hot after it loses connection with the slave and until Aagateway auto closes.

Hey Emil, is it possible to make use of the Wifi Launcher for HUR to connect to a slave wireless hotspot to make this connect using the native implementation of Android auto so we don't need to have the headunit server running? I'm having difficulty having that automatically start (Android 10, but I am rooted if you have thoughts to do so).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rc_086:
Have the same problem, headunit server doesn't start automatically, but flag in Aagateway and im also rooted. One more thing, i used Runshell command in Tasker: am startservice -W com.google.android.projection.gearhead/com.google.android.projection.gearhead.companion.DeveloperHeadUnitNetworkService. It is show error 13. Command doesn't work.

Good first attempt, working on ironing out the bugs

I recently (yesterday) purchased a 2018 Nissan Rogue, I was considering a 2018.5 Rogue Sport, but they didn't seem fit to offer AA until 2019, and the head unit swap would have been very challenging and involved rewiring critical subsystem connections, and I'm not even 100% sure it would have worked. I digress, I came across this thread/app and after reading many pages of comments and notes, decides to give it a try. I happened to have a rooted 1st Gen Kindle Fire running CyanogenMod, which isn't really supported anymore, but it still runs fine. I disabled basically everything and after finding a workaround for the failed download from XDA labs app (it worked on my GS10+ running P) I got everything set up, running hotspot from my master and everything configured on the rooted slave. It took a few tries of rebooting, unplug-replug and rebooting the head unit server, but I finally got it working! I'm now trying to get it to consistently work, playing around with the USB WIFI toggles and power toggles on the slave. For some reason, it will alternate between saying root priveleges granted and asking me to set a default for AA over USB. Anyone have any tips on the order and configuration for settings/connections on the slave, and whether I need to keep the hotspot running all the time on the master? Or does the tethering automation kick in on BT connect with the cars head unit? Thanks in advance!
