[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION] I'm super happy that you working like a mad right now on fixing issues - that is what I was hoping you do for last year - you looks liek are full speed on the project. Super news!

Please let us know when there is quite OK version to have multiple of testers do another attempt, when such version of WiFi Launcher and AAGW is available on XDALabs (vs private test versions).

Please add information into first post on how to give you log report - I seen it somewhere within posts, but with amount of posts in recent a few days, it is hard to find anything.

Fingers crossed for you and your success. And, anyway, get maybe crowd funding for this - may give you piece of mind with money side so you can not limit yourself with necessary buys/car rentals or just earnigng for life.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Yeah this is what I wanted/hoped to do last year as well... But...

I still have some other works on on my table but the pressure is not as big as it was as last year, and I've started looking into sub-ing out some of the work to freelancers so I can have more time on AA related projects...

This one needs finishing, obd2aa needs updating, carnotifier needs work, and I have some other ideas as well.

I might look into crowd funding, if the orange pi with emmc works as expected, then I might be able to come up with a small, cheap device which can be sued for this purpose only, which can be simply bought, plugged in and used, without all the hassle, and cost wise can stay sub $30.

Anyway I'm off now I won't be back before Friday, believe it or not this is my first holiday since 2018 ended...

I purchased the app a few days ago, but can't get the aagateway to install on any slave I have. Note II or S3. I should be able to try on a note 4 tonight... I think the problem is with xda labs, had no issues with the master. Frustrating that the easiest step in the process has been the most difficult for me. :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mtcolombo:
Thanks for the response. I will try rooting the S7 and report back.

Thank you for all of your hard work. I was totally under the impression the X96 supported OTG, but looks like I was misled. No worries! It's a process :)

Hello everyone.

I have a general question.

Now i have this working fine but i have a litle problem:

My slave is the hotspot and my master connect to it. But the internet data is on the master. Because the phone is a xiaomi, i must push a confirmation that the master conect throught data mobile while is connected to the wifi of slave. This is a little problem.

Because the phone is a xiaomi and i cant config nothing to conect directly to data while is connect to the phone im looking for other options.

Its posible to automatice something in the master for activate the hotspot and launch the android auto server???

thanks

On my Mi8, in WiFi, additional settings, wifi assistant, there is a setting to enable/disable prompt.

Not sure if it will be the same in android 10 as I'm still on 9 or even if it's the right setting, but worth having a look.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
hello.

thanks for your reply.

In this menu i have activate de first option (use mobile data where wifi is week) and disable (show alert of data usage).

And when the phone connect to the wifi of slave. Apears a promt and if i dont push "use data mobile" the phone dont have internet :(

I think is a MIUI problem, and its a problem for me:(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dogiex:
Try to enable this option from Developer options if it helps:
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Crowd funding a plug in and play device is definitely worth looking into, orange pi based or similar would work.

Theres clearly a market for a proper consumer device, as it's unlikely any existing cars running android auto will ever get an update from the car manufacturer to enable a wireless android auto connection, most car makers dont do new features via software upgrades.

however a consumer device would be best self contained with the ability to receive OTA updates and be setup remotely from an app on the master. All things that can be prebaked into a rom .

All that said, people would likely pay an annual subscription of $5 or $10 if you can get the app to reliably work on any old phone as slave and guarantee to keep it working via upgrades as android evolves.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
done since the first day i have a problem and dont work :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] -DDD-:
When i already have an LTE-USB Hotspot in my car, can i use this for the Connection between master and slave? How to configure both then?

Master Sony xz1c with Android9, Slave with Android7, both not rooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
I wrote a Tasker profile using Autonotification to click on the "Exit" button on the Wifi Launcher notification on the master 5 minutes after the notification is detected. This doesn't interfere with AAGateway, but I have yet to take a 30-minute drive to see if it solves the problem.

I don't understand why this wouldn't be simple to implement in the app itself, but I don't claim to understand what's going on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
Here my experience: I updated the app from previous official beta (which was working perfectly) to the newest one, doing a full reset of my slave (OP5 rooted).

I follow the instructions and sadly this version is not working on my configuration (as said, Slave OP5 with Android 9, Master OP7 Pro with Android 10, HeadUnit AA Alfa Romeo Giulia).

When I start the car, Slave starts hotspot (the fist time ask which app to start and I selected AAGateWay always), master connect to it and to car bluetooth (most probably in the opposite order), AA on master starts (but I believe it's because of the automatic setting in AA, later I will test without) but nothing happens.

Still, I will do a couple of tests (non root and no automatic AA start) then... someone have still the previous beta apk ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] martin.armstrong:
Master: Asus Zenfone 6 (unrooted)

Slave: Motorola one (now rooted)

car: Audi A4 2017

Finally a sort of slight success!

Having bitten the bullet and managed to root the motorola one without bricking it, I have managed to get it working with the slave providing the hotspot in rooted mode, having not moved the app to the system tray to avoid problems with going to an older version (having previously managed to get it working with an old test version RC1 with the master providing the hotspot)

Unfortunately it only worked once, the first time I tried it!

Subsequent attempts after trying various things like restarting both phones + the mmi system on the car, also opening the door of the car in between to cause the bluetooth connection to the car to drop could not reproduce the success!

I will try it again sometime in the coming days to see if I can reproduce it.

By the way, with my car you do not have to actually start the engine to test the app, it is sufficient to turn on the ignition and once I have a connection I can turn off the ignition and the picture on the car screen disappears for one second and then reappears, and stays usable for several minutes unless I open the driver's door. You can test if your car works similarly by trying wired AA as the behaviour should be the same as with the app. Only when I want to test the messaging using voice do I have to have the engine running, as otherwise it will not work properly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
I also have the same issue . If you find any solution then let me know . Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
In one of the post Emil has mentioned that " A slave is considered a good slave, if it can turn off the USB port with help of ROOT." I have Xiaomi mi A1 rooted and planning to use it as a slave. How do I turn off USB port?? just wondering isn’t it counter productive to turn off USB port when we have to connect the slave to the Car unit using USB.???
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
I believe he means if you can turn the usb off, you can simulate pulling the usb out and plugging it back in (turning usb back on).

Some headunits time out if no android auto connection is established within a certain time frame of the usb being plugged in. Being able to turn off usb and turn it back on, means this timer can be reset and the head unit should be able to establish the connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
Thanks for the clarification. Do you know how do I do that on my Mi A1? is there any app available?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mellda:
The wireless AA works but far from the way as need. I have these phones:

- slave: Samsung S3 (rooted, Android 4.3)

- master: Samsung S10 (not-rooted, Android 10)

Slave:

I installed the latest AAGateWay release (04.01.2020). When I moved the app to system apps, it is not working at all, so I reinstalled it and leave it not in system apps.

Master:

I installed "Wifi Launcher for HUR" app. I selected my car BT. I started the headunit server in AA app.

I tried several combinations and only this one works:

I turn on the hotspot on the master (name HUR, password AndroidAutoConnect), I turn on the wifi on the slave and connect the slave to the master. Then I connect the slave to the car usb. Then after couple of seconds I can use AA. When I disconnect the slave or the master and want to connect it again, it doesn't work. I tried restarting only the master or only the slave and found out I must restart both of them.

I tried these combinations as well:

I enabled the "Start thetering" option on the slave. I configured the hotspot (HUR/AndroidAutoConnect) and leave it disabled. Then I enable the wifi on master and start headunit server. Then I plugged in the usb and I could see the hotspot is activated and the master connects to the slave. But the AA didn't start. I restarted the phones and activated the hotspot before I plugged in the usb. It doesn't work as well.

I want to connect the slave to the car permanently and does not touch it at all. I will configure it to turn it on when the car is turned on and to turn it off when the car is turned off. And I will leave the headunit server running permanently on the master.

Desired scenario:

I will get in the car with the master smartphone in my pocket. I will start the car, the slave will be then turned on as well. After couple of minutes the master connects to the slave and android auto is turned on. When leaving the car for a couple of minutes, the connection may be lost. When I come back to the car, the AA should connect automatically. If not I can run manually a script which turns the slave's usb port off and on.

[MENTION=10298471]loveall27[/MENTION]

emil wrote in a previous post that should execute the following adb commands when the phone is connected via usb to a PC; (The line 'adb shell' is inserted by me as it is needed to get into adb shell mode):

adb devices

( this should respond with a string of letters which is the identifier for your device and if it also responds with 'unauthorised ' you need to respond to pop-up on phone, also your phone should have usb debugging switched on in development settings)

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /sys

cat /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/enable

The last line starting with 'cat' should be input all on one line.

I believe the good response is '1' which means the usb can be switched off.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
Anyone has the previous official beta ?

The new one doesn't work to me, so I would love to back to a working version...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

Sorry I was planning to be in office today, but only got home now (8:30PM). Tomorrow morning I'm at the mechanic with the car, but I do plan office hours for afternoon.

I will read trough the last 2 days post and update you on what's happening. I saw a couple of guys asking for previous beta, please email me and I'll send the files (tomorrow).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] martin.armstrong:
[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

While testing in rooted mode with my slave phone I have noticed that every 15 secs or so the usb connection is turned off and on and at the same time the slave hotspot is turned off and on. I assume this is to reset the usb to trigger an AA connection if one does not happen but is the turning off and on of the slave hotspot also intentional?

You wrote in your instructions that it can take from 30-50 secs for the master to connect to the slave hotspot and that is certainly true when the home wifi is still in range because the master has to first recognise that there is another wifi connection that is available, for which it has the password, and also to recognise that the signal is stronger than the home wifi signal, only then will it switch to the slave hotspot.

This is ok for testing because one can tap on the slave hotspot when it appears in the list on the master and therefore mostly force a connection to happen before the 15 secs is up. Also when the home wifi is out of range then the 15 secs is probably sufficient but I would suggest you make the delay longer between usb resets to make it work automatically in all situations.

If the switching off and on of the slave hotspot is not intentional and can be removed then 15 secs is ok.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
I had the same happen on a slave I was using. I don't believe it was intentional as Emil asked me to send him a log. He said the it was getting to a part of the code which it shouldn't. So believe he is aware of the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=7106033]Marshy33[/MENTION] I will email you in about 30 minutes to 1 hour with a test version. [MENTION=9760396]martin.armstrong[/MENTION] - can you please email me?

At this point I don't need other testers please as it will be really difficult to keep track of what I'm testing, hence asking only this 2 members. If all goes well updates will follow.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] nencio92:
The same for me, I'll try to test in opposite mode, slave connect to the master
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
Working with the new version, if I don't make Gateway a system app and engage non-root mode, it starts fine and I get the splash screen. However, the launcher for HUR will not start AA. Given the stability of HUR, there must be a fix (I will look through that XDA thread, but anyone have an idea?).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NYZack:
Did you enter the master's Bluetooth address in the AAGateway app on the slave?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Matt_black_90:
Have had a try with this during the weekend without success. Any ideas?

Slave: nexus 5, android 9, root.

Installed aagateway from xda labs

Enabeled "start theathering"

made an hotspot with correct name and password

Converted app to system

Master: vivo nex s, Android 9, non root.

Installed "wifi launcher for HUR" from xda labs

Selected my cars Bluetooth.

Car: Skoda Octavia RS 2019. Stereo: Amundsen mib2

A hotspot is created by the slave and the master connects to it.

An AA notifications pops up on the master saying something like "connected to your car" but it disappears after a few seconds.

The stereo seams to recognize the slave as an android auto unit because the button for it appears on the screen.

When i press it it fails to connect.

I can try one more time but fails again.

After that it doesn't get recognized anymore, not even after unplugging and plugging it in again, need to restart the slave.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
I think I did, but its possible I didn't so I will try that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] loveall27:
can anyone confirm the proper connection method, please? there are lots of conflicting and confusing posts :) it looks like some are saying they are connecting slave to master and some are saying they connecting the master to slave. So which one is the correct method from the following

Method 1:

Create hotspot on the slave and connect the master to this Hotspot which has been created on the slave

OR

Method 2

Create Hotspot on the Master and connect Slave to this hotspot which has been created on the Master
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Updated both the Wifi Launcher app and the AAGateWay, still more work needs to be done on the apps.

I'm waiting for the TV Stick to arrive to be able to give a green light for the MK809 devices generally.

I will update the thread with more info in the next few days with more info on what's happening and if needed with newer version of the app.

For those trying the app without root do make sure you select the masters BT otherwise you are most likely going to fail to make a connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] RoyDaGeneral:
For Slave, "Tested and know to work: - MK809V................."

Is it MK809V or MK809lV? I can't find any MK809V. Thanks.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
I have an MK809V but since it's an end of life product I've ordered an MK809IV as well which should arrive in a week or so, I will update as soon as I have it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
I have the same car (but 2016) and same Amundsen mib2 head unit.

I also get the same outcome as you. I have tried pretty much every set up I can think of without much success.

Emil is doing lots of work on this app, so I'm sure we will be up and running before long :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Thanks.

Check todays apps update.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] propi62:
Tested new version with rooted slave.

Worked 2 out of 4 times.

Tomorrow morning i have a 1.5 hour drive and will report back if the 30 min problem is solved.

Thank you emil
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Marshy33:
Just gave it a quick go. On first start up hotspot starts on slave and master connects. AA notification shows in master for a few seconds and then disappears.

On next start up hotspot starts on slave and then stops after a few seconds.

Will have more of a play around tomorrow.

The WiFi launcher is far better though. It starts instantly when BT connects on master. Previous could take up 20 - 30 seconds to start.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] IlD4nX:
I gave also a quick look at the update... I had to remove the previous version of WiFi for HUR otherwise it doesn't found any BT device but now it working good.

Tomorrow I will test connection with the car. Finger crossed!!

---------------------

Edit after slave update: for some reason after updating the slave to the newest version, and moving it to system the app disappears from my phone... I had to reset my slave (not a big deal, 5 minute work). After doing it, as the phone booted, it ask for the root permission and now the app works.

I did not try to use it in the car: again, finger crossed !
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
How to update if I moved the app to system? I am not able to remove the old version
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You don't need to remove it, juts update it
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
Then it ask everytime I open the APP if I want to move it to system. If I press yes nothig happens
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Press yes close the all and reboot the phone. If the popup still appears you should have an option to "never ask me again"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sibesaver:
Anyone know why the settings are unavailable? Slave is Pixel non-rooted. Fresh install rebooted, cleared data and cache.

Tried install on Pixel 2 XL same result. Private beta works but not the last 2 versions in XDA labs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
Got the new version installed. But I is still not working on my Ford Focus MK4 with Sync 3.4.

Master: Oneplus 7 pro

Slave: Oneplus One mit Lineage 16 without GAPPS

As soon I connect the slave the Headunit detect the phone but I am not able to click on Android Auto.

Got exactly the same as described in post #1821
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Updated the app, fixed options being disabled on non-root phone.

[MENTION=4348417]fma965[/MENTION] , [MENTION=3115338]smoki3[/MENTION] - The ford sync won't show anything till the slave and the master are not connected properly. Only once that connection is established the Ford will/should detect the device. I suggest both of you put the app in root mode and enable tethering, update the Wifi Launcher for HUR on the master with the newest version.

On the master select the Sync masters BT from the list (in the Wifi Launcher for HUR app) leave all other options off and exit the app.

On the slave, once AAGateway is installed (no need to convert it to system app) make sure it's in root mode and make sure tethering is enabled, then reboot the slave.

Now go to the car plug in the slave and start the car.

1) Check if the slave actually creates the hotspot

2) Check if master actually connects to slave

3) Check if you see AA icon showing up on master

4) After AA icon appears on master, check if sync detects the phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fma965:
Hi Emil, This is exactly what i did previously and the phones connect but my car still shows nothing, i will try again on the new version later.

I think i need to clarify that the car does know a AA device is connected, the AA and Maps icons are usually "navigation" and "apps" when AA isn't detected, when the slave and master connects the car changed to "AA" and "Maps" icons but the display of AA itself doesn't appear.

EDIT: i also haven't been able to get it to display since a really old version, unfortunately can't remember the exact version that it was. the private beta and your last release (not tried this one yet) both had the same outcome.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
This is also exactly what I did. Tested it this morning with the new versions. It's still the same.

So the hotspot is created fine also the master connects to the slave.

As soon I connect the slave the headunit turn it detects the slave as a Android auto device. But I can not switch to Android auto. On my master I got the message HUR enabled then Android auto pops up in the notificationbar just for a few seconds the it disappears.
