Hi,

i dont know if i did right because i have the same issue but however i did this way :

My Master is a Galaxy Note 10 with Android 10 non Rooted

My Slave is Huawei P20 lite with Android 9 rooted.

1. Uninstalled any previous Version of AAgateway on both, Slave and Master.

1a. Turned off the Headserver Unit in Android Auto Developer Settings, because i run newer Versions of Android.

2. On Slave installed newaagateway-1.3.apk.

3. Opened AAgateway on slave and selected the BT Mac Adress of my Master (Note 10).

4. On Slave in AAgateway marked the “Start tethering“ Option, because Slave run Android 9.

5. Created on Slave in Tethering Settings (Phone System) a Hotspot whith Name HUR and with Password AndroidAutoConnect.

6. pushed Exit Button on AAgateway on Slave for Saving.

7. On Master installed HUR.apk

8. Opened HUR which is called Wifi Launcher app and selected BT device of my Car (the app need this for resetting of Wlan connection of Masters Wifi).

9. pushed Exit Button on Wifi Launcher on Master for Saving.

Connected Slave Phone to the Car.

-car recognized slave and in the Monitor appears the „ aagateway waiting to device"

Now i turned on my Masters Bluetooth.

-Master connected via BT to the Car

-Wifi Launcher on Master turned on and connects the master Wifi to the Hotspot of my Slave.

-Android Auto Starts on Master.

Slave recognized connection of Master and the „aagateway waiting to device" splashscreen disappears.

But then nothing happens, the Car Monitor stays dark.

Also nothing happens when i press the Android IcoN in Cars Minitor.

Seems to be a bug. I hope Emil can give us some tips when he finds time.

Did you saw message on the Slave screen to choose what app will be opened on HU connection - AA or AAGateway? I have mb808 without screen so can't see anything and when my slave in tethering mode i can't connect to it with teamviewer.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] smoki3:
Thanks for the reply :)

Besides of that the new version was not working on my Ford focus car, I think one of the main issues with the new version was, that if you use the slave as hotspot and it has no SIM that your master is also offline because it will use the wifi connection to get any connection.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Golubev:
I'm asking Emil about that and he answer me - "in Pie and above you can be connected to a Wifi network which has no internet and you can keep using your mobile internet data, hence specific instructions for Pie and above. In some cases you need to enable this in your settings, under Wifi -> Advance setting, but it it usually enabled by default."

Friend's how can i get the new ver of AAG ,Emil promised that he will update ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morpho26:
It doesn’t matter. I have only installed AAgateway on my Slave. So after Connection the AAgateway opens.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

You have to write a kindly email to Emil. He will forward to you the new version for testing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] saspo59:
Thanks,

I already pm to him kindly stil awaiting for qrismes goodies:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] propi62:
i also mailed kindly to him but still waiting. i would love to test the new version with my brand new 2019 seat leon VAG. my last car was the skoda octavia also VAG. i have the same problems with the new car.

it works in about 20%. the other 80% i have to replug the usb or do some other magic to make it work. the 2020 VAG cars will have wireless android auto, maybe i should have waited for them.

it would be extremly cool if your proxy/gateway method would work in 100% of times because at work i have to drive from customer to customer every day and waze and google maps are the best navis i could test so far.

PS: my mastercam and slave are rooted but i dont want to enable root on the slave for your apk because it disables google services i need for speed cam alert app. (camsam plus) would it be possible to only enable root to enable the wifi and usb option needed for VAG cars?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skatermike21988:
Gotta say, great app. I've got it working pretty well with a note 8 as master and rooted s7 as slave connected to my vehicles hotspot. I could've gone with the hotspot on master, but my dashcam uses wifi direct and turning on hotspot disables wifi direct. I don't have a data plan with my vehicles hotspot so took some time to get the master to finally use mobile data instead of wifi. Had to enable always keep mobile data in developer settings, switch to mobile data in wifi settings and also download booster under connections before my master would use the mobile connection but now it works well. My only issue is that my master constantly pops up a notification that it's waiting on slave even after it's connected to the slave and Android auto is displayed on the head unit.

This is all in a 2017 Chevy Cruze with a stock MyLink head unit. Now I can put my QI fast charger back on my dash and be 100% free from messing with wires in my car, LOVE IT!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
Just a suggestion, did you consider using a bluetooth tether to resolve your hotspot issue? In my previous vehicle (BMW which only support CarPlay not AA), I used an old iPhone for CP using my Pixel 3's mobile data through a BT tether and it provided more than enough bandwidth for things like Waze.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
Making progress on the audio skip issue. Reformatted slave phone and switched to Lineage 15.1 (Oreo). Bought a high quality Anker Powerline+ USB3.0 cable and did a 10 minute listen with a single skip over a 5GHz connection. Hopefully that was an anomaly. I am still using a 6' cable because of where I want to hide the slave but if the skip returns/continues, I think a 3' USB3.0 high quality cable might do the trick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] skatermike21988:
My current implementation seems to be working very well so far. Start car and in car hotspot turns on, devices connect to hotspot, master connects to Bluetooth and then aagateway starts up and is listening for the slave, all in all it takes about 30-45 seconds for the full connection to get established and aa displayed on the head unit which isn't bad. I do need to try and implement Tasker on the slave as I've noticed it doesn't seem to like to connect to the hotspot without first having the screen woke up. Once woken up by the home button it connects instantly.

Another issue I've had is that sometimes after disconnected aa on the master seems to think it's still connected to my car. I'll have an AA notification in my taskbar that says connected to your car and any subsequent connections will fail without me force closing aa and restarting the head unit server.

I also get the occasional audio dropouts and noticed navigation temporarily freezes. Seems to occur more the first minute or so of the connection being established and then kinda goes away and doesn't occur much after that. I got a shorter cable on the way that I'm gonna try and see if that helps the issue.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

Sorry with all my best intentions, the new version is not quite ready. I feel like I'm really close, but I need to work a bit more on it.

I really wanted to push it out this, year but I'm affraid it will slip into next year :(

I'm closing the office now and won't be back till 03.01.2020, but I'm planning long working weekend.

Sadly even with root not all phones could be used as slave, for example Pixel 2 is not a good candidate as there is no way to disable the USB port on it, but on others this can be achieved. However on some cars, where I can trick the car to think it connected to the phone correctly, a non-root phone will do just fine.

MK808 and MK809 devices should work fine with new version as well as Banana/Orange Pi.

Have a happy new year all of you, thanks for all the support and sorry I've failed to deliver as I wanted this year :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] martin.armstrong:
Thanks Emil for letting us all know.

I am sure everyone will join me in wishing you a happy new year and good luck with your work on the wireless AA app

dont worry emil! happy New year!!!!

raspberry??? wow¡!!! jejeje

What smartphone works flawlessly as a slave? I will use S10+ as master.

I want the slave to turn on when ignition on, i.e

when charging is started. Then turn it off after 10 minutes when charging disconnects.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sibesaver:
I used an original Pixel. Stripped most of the apps and disabled ones I couldn't uninstall. I likely will root it if needed since it received it's last update in December. It works flawlessly as the hotspot and AA gateway host.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mellda:
Do you mean the first google pixel? https://www.gsmarena.com/google_pixel-8346.php
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
It will be interesting, when emil launch the new version, make a list of phones compatibility.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] morpho26:
I don’t thinks that depends on which phone you use. Because i tried my whole ragbag of phones, nothing works. I think that the compability with brand of cars of the new version is not given at this moment.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] sibesaver:
Yes. The first Pixel.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
I'm using a first gen Moto Z without much issue. I am running LineageOS 15.1 (Oreo based), not a stock ROM. You may have to test several ROMs to find the one that works best. In my case, I don't have the slave turn on when power hits, but I do have it drop out of airplane mode and connect to my Master's hotspot. I have it set to reboot 12 minutes after power off. You will need to have it rooted and use Tasker to make any of that happen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Habibmustafa:
what makes a 'compatible' slave phone??

Hey, Emil. Holler if you need a current model VAGS (2018 A4) tester. Thanks for your support!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Hi emil ,

thankyou for the emailing v1.3 to me.

It seems to be working fine with my Peugeot 5008, samsung s10 master and moto g3 slave.

The only issue I encountered was it hanging at "waiting for device to connect" on my cars screen , this was resolved by permanently disabling google play services on the slave.

It's been connecting fine for the last few days :)

For anyone else who might benefit my setup is:

Master device is S10. with tasker autoenabling wifi hotspot when connected to my cars bluetooth,

AA Head unit server running all the time on the master.(I've hidden the head unit server notification)

Slave is a moto g3, but I've also had it working with a samsung s3.

V1.3 of aawifigateway installed , permanent wired connection to car, wifi is always on and setup to connect only to my s10 masters wifi hotspot. (I Removed all other wifi connections from the slave. )

Permanently disabled google play services on slave.

Aagateway set as default on first operation.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Hello jimsey,

I think one of the problem some users have is the exact procedure, that maybe have some diferent.

Can you detail the exacts steeps?

Master: install the v1.3 app? or only the wifi launcher for HUR? or other app?

Master: is your wifi hotspot?

android auto is installed in slave and master?

if you tell us more detail maybe we can solve our problems.

thanks a lot!!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Hi,

My master is a standard samsung s10 with the latest version of android auto jnstalled. It does not have any version of aagateway installed on the master.

The master has android auto head unit server running permanently.

The master is setup to automatically launch a mobile hotspot when connected to my cars bluetooth.

My slave is a moto g3 running lineage 15.

(But it also works with my galaxy s3 running stock kitkat.)

The slave does not have android auto installed. The only wifi connection its setup to connect to is the one from the master s10, this stops it inadvertantly connecting to any wifi other than my master device.

I've installed aawifigateway v1.3 which Emil emailed to me.

In aagateway I've selected the masters mobile hotspot, and the masters bluetooth.

I leave the slave plugged in to the cars usb port all the time with wifi enabled.

I was having issues connecting the master to slave so disabled google play services on the slave, after disabling google play services on the slave, the slave connects ok to the master and android auto launches ok on my car everytime I start the car.

Hope this helps.

I always start hotspot with the macrodroid app. (Tried different apps and macdroid was the best imo, compared to tasker, trigger)

Do i need to have aagateway running on master whene i start hotspot with macrodroid and have the aa mainunit always running with version 1.0?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] alireza_simkesh:
It is mentioned in OP that we can automate the start of the Headunit server by using adb shell command. Can you please explain what/how exactly will it be automated?

Does it mean that when we enter the car, the Headunit server starts automatically? Or when we turn on hotspot the headunit server starts automatically?

Or when the Master is connected to Slave the headunit server starts automatically?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Thanks a lot for your instrucctions!.

Now I use a xiaomi mi5s (with lineageOS without gapps) as slave. And a Xiaomi mix2s as master.

I follow your steps and works one time! only one time!! jajaja. Afther this, the app allways crash :(

[MENTION=842765]Emil Borconi[/MENTION]

over last year we did talked a few times over emails. usually after a few emails I stopped getting any reposnses from you or just back got standard instruction email no matter that things did not worked (aside of RC3 version, which with help of Automate scripts on boths phones and actually tethering on slave works OK on my phones).

I'm also developer (but electronics) for 17 years, so have bit of experience in projects getting out of the door. Of course I do not know all, but as side observer I see following:

1.You are smart guy who did amazing job

2.But the project is monster, too many cars/phones/OS versions/rooted/unrooted etc - too much for 1 person

3.You do also other projects in the same time - probably to make money for living

4.Since a year you are nearly there, but months are passing, and nothing really better was released - plenty of people still are on RC3 or even Alpha versions as far as I follow the thread - new versions do not work for huge part of people.

5.There is huge amount of people on the forum who can immediatelly test things on their phones/cars and report to you - great reasource but not really used

6.Interested people can't wait for another a few years to get finished and working product - I'm already loosing motivation and sticking with RC3 which every a few days crashes on master (Headunit server was stopped blablabla and so I need to reboot phone and restart HU server to get it back functional)

I think it is time to to make serious decison:

1.You cease work on other things, get somebody to help you on this and get the project perfect out of the door in 3-6 months time

2.Or you stop mezmerizing us with the product and we accept that it is one which can't be done for wide market/variety of cars/phones/OS versions etc, so at least you and we won't be wasting more of our time.

Of course I believe you are capable of making it perfect. I hope you should go path #1, but I think you need money to focus corectly on the project. Maybe setup crowd funding, collect EUR50-100k, in Romania it shoudl be enough for hiring some help, get a few cars rented for a day or two (others you can get from interested volunteers living nearby?), and make living for a few months a year out of it, while exclusively you focus on developing working solution. Give crowdfuners right for FOC lifetime updates etc, and sell then the app to others once it is ready. Get succeed and get living out of this apk for a few years until technology of cars/phones will bring something native and kick your current apk out. Then you coudl focus on new projects.

All the best

Leszek
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JohnnyCanuck:
That command requires root on the master (and I understand was disabled by Google in a recent revision to AA). If you have an unrooted Master, I believe your only option for automation is Tasker with AutoInput.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] calldown89:
If it helps I would love to test the new version for you, too. :)

Car: Kia Ceed GT 2020

Master: S10 on Android 10

Slave: Oneplus One or Oneplus X on Android 10
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] propi62:
The new testversion works great.

Car: Vag seat

Slave: nexus 5/galaxy s7 (both work/both lineage pie android 9)

Master: xiaomi mi a3 (android pie 9)

Nothing rooted.

I have disabled all automation task i made myself and followed instructions exactly sent by emil. Works perfect out of the box everytime i start the car.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Hi guys.

First of all, happy new year and some good news, new beta is out, please read the OP for instructions, I did my best to make them easy to follow, but I'm not good at that.

What is new in this version?

Firs of after lot of fiddling, trying and failing, I had to come to the conclusion it's impossible to have a product wich can work on any combinations of device (mainly without root), so on this version I focused on making sure that there is at least one slave which can be used in combination with any car and any master. The MK809V TV stick does exactly, this however it's not the only one, but it's one I know for sure it will work as expected. Many other devices with ROOT will work on any car, but not all, for example the Pixel family is not a good candidate as even with ROOT you can't turn off the USB. I will try to get my hands on as many possible phones and test them one by one so I can add them to the know to work list, but users are also welcome to input on this. A slave is considered a good slave, if it can turn off the USB port with help of ROOT.

For those who do not have the luxury of a rooted slave, the app will also work in non-root mode, but compatibility with cars might fail, for example, KIA/Hyundai won't play nice in case slave is not rooted, but many others will Ford, Nissan, Opel, Sony units, etc....

I will also like to apologise it took so long to push out the new beta (hopefully this will actually become stable and become available on PlayStore as well), it's not an excuse, but my last year wasn't the best, as [MENTION=9681536]epsonix[/MENTION] I stretched myself to thin and it had a negative effect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
[MENTION=9681536]epsonix[/MENTION] you are absolutely right however, let me give you a full inside of my last year, this is not an excuse, it's more just so you (and everybody else) can see the whole picture.

Last year I moved from UK to RO, which is a huge step, I also had the house completely renewed, which means you are dealing with builders, electrician, etc and if you are not behind them all the time, things don't get done. I did not imagine that project will take up so much time and energy (never mentioning the money). Even I did manage to move, I still have builders in the house working an all the things which where not completed before I moved, aka sometimes I still leave on the construction yard. Indeed I have some apps and in many cases I did prioritise my HUR app over the AAGateWay app, because it has way more users and because that is classed as a stable app, rather then beta. Due to my own stupidity in summer I lost a big chunk of my work, when my harddrive failed, and I did not had backup for an app build for a client, that costed me no less the 4 weeks of work. Beside my car apps, I'm maintaining 2 websites, where one needed massive changes this year, as I had to implement facial recognition and many other things, and by March 2020, I need to migrate one of the sites to a new server (where the servers are dedicated ones, so I need to do it all), plus I need to complete quite a lot of changes, because the whole project is going to be presented at a photography show in the UK. I did not considered crowd-sourcing, simply because I did not had the time and energy to look into it. I never done it and I'm not even sure how it will work. I'm considering hiring someone to help me because I have too much on my plate, but (and this is not moaning), I'm quite stuck. I do not earn enough to afford to pay someone who already knows everything, and if I hire someone who is a career starter, it means I need to spend a lot of time with him/her to train him/her up, but again I don't have that time. I haven't even mentioned, the amount of emails I reply each day, and the fact that I do have a family as well, which hardly gets anything from me...

All this being said, you are still right this did drag itself for way to long, but today's update should make good for it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
thanks emil!, tomorrow i will test it.

Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Nice one Emil,

Your instructions still refer to installing on both master and slave, Is this correct or is the new version only required on the slave?

I'll test on my 809v stick and on my other spare phones, moto, samsung and sony.

:)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] blejach:
Only on slave!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
im looking for 809v in aliexpres and dont find. i only find the IV version.

where do you buy it?

regards!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
Only on slave, on master it's a different app called WiFi launcher for HUR.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kleanphil:
Hi , i'm having a similar problem trying to find one of these sticks , I notice they are quite old are there other suitable sticks available .

I notice these sticks are hdmi , I assume you need a usb adapter ?

Also how do you wire these sticks for power , would it be possible to find a tv stick that is powered by usb .

My head unit is an Alpine Halo9 with AA/CP has anyone had success with these aftermarket units ?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Emil Borconi:
You don't use the HDMI at all. You plug in the otg to the car, that's all
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DAVIZINHO:
Works fine with a xiaomi mi5s (lineageOS an rooted) as slave!!!

WOW this is a great achievement for me!, jejeje. Now i try the same with a motoG (because my motoG is modified to boot when usb is poweron and poweroff with no power overusb in 15sg).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jimsey:
Thanks Emil,

Ive got tasker set up to launch my hotspot, so dont think I need wifi launcher for HUR? Unless it does something other than start and stop the hotspot on the master?

I Just tried the new version on an unrooted moto g3 slave with no success, ( v1.3 you sent me had been working on this slave without any problem)

Its now hanging at waiting for device.

when I installed it on a rooted samsung s3, it asked me to covert to a system app and move it, I accepted the request and rebooted the phone and the aawifigateway apps disappeared?

Gonna try the tv stick now ;)
