Ok quite surprising.... Apparently the stale connection detection is triggering for your HU... That means the HU isn't sending any messages for 10+ seconds. Thats normally not really possible at all because the HU should respond to ping messages from the phone. Can you maybe do a run with debug logging on (until it crashes)?

EDIT: Passthrough mode is enabled of course so I cannot see any messages going through. I'll enable the latest develop firmware for you which should make non-passthrough mode also work again.
[Android Auto General] donn2:
Just to report back, updating to 2.0.1 did not resolve issue. Enabling passthrough mode resolved the issue.

@josefsch I had seen you previous post but I failed to find the qr code you mention. I assumed that might be phone specific.
[Android Auto General] Winrahr:
I've been getting more frequent disconnections even while stopped at a light, even after latest firmware and trying a bunch of different wifi channels. What I've noticed though is that it's been getting warmer in the past month or so with the more frequent disconnections.

Has anyone faced heat issues? I keep it away from the sun and it is only about 27C here so it isn't extreme climate by any means.

I also read earlier in the thread that someone claimed to have fixed their issues with a v2, but I don't know if that is just a one time coincidence.
[Android Auto General] dscline:
Well, I updated to the developmental firmware you enabled, but I still can't disable passthrough mode. It just won't connect w/o passthrough (though it did when I first got it, I ASSUME it's the HU update that broke it, but not sure). So I drove home with passthrough on (not sure where debug logging needs to be enabled, but maybe it doesn't matter if I can't disable passthrough?). I did have a disconnect on the way home, light seemed to be blinking green. Then it eventually turns blue and reconnects.

I have received the downgrade to version 1.8 and updated device today. I will update about the situation after some days of testing. I hope no more video "blackouts" disconnections.
[Android Auto General] Gee11:
im still waiting for 1.8.. i have mail but in my app only 2.0.1 appears
[Android Auto General] xPhrostx:
I have had an issue since I received the unit but I've delt with it "Device Not Supported" it will launch Android Auto sometimes. Once it throws this error a couple times I am unable to even connect with direct USB to my phone. I have to pull fuses to reset my radio or wait until the next day. I've tried all the different modes and different USB cables. I've updated from 18 to 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 with the same issue. Definitely frustrated and I've sent tickets to support. I am starting to wonder if it's a heat issue as it seems worse the longer I run it or the hotter the day. Can only uninstall and factory reset so many times. Car is 18 Challenger with 8.4 Nav. Phone is pixel 3a xl.

Update to 2.0.1
[Android Auto General] Tony7533:
I am trying, but update is not working.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Disable your VPN, if you have one. If you're using mobile data, try downloading the update separately over wifi then connect back up to AAWirelss and perform the install. If the download fails on wifi, then switch to mobile data.

If you still have problems, post info about what stage it's failing and the error you're getting.
[Android Auto General] Lord Paulus Cobris:
Hello,

Im the guy of the Vodafone SmartX9 (that didn´t work on the AAWireless).

Since then i updated to a Realme 8, and after managed to update the AAWireless to 2.0.0 and then 2.0.1 i can say with that phone i didn´t have any problem at all.

But the phone stopped working, battery faulty it seems. And i was forced to send it back.

Yesterday i got a brand new Samsung Galaxy A52s, and i was worried about some problems reported by some collegues of forum here.

But im happy to report that i have tested and AAWireless is running like a champ.

Here how i did it...

After updating the phone to the latests versions of software and apps, i went to Android Auto App or option inside Android 12.

And activated the developer menu (go to version number and press until it says so...).

then i went there and activate the Wireless Projection.

Went back and checked if Android Auto Wireless was selected (if not, select it).

I then exited and went to the car, and plugged the phone to usb with cable, it detected android auto and i configure all the options on the phone and on the infotaiment.

I let AA runn and open some apps inside the infotaiment (waze, phone, Maps), then i unplug the phone.

I then plug the AAWireless unit and start the AAW App on the phone.

I follow the steps but on my case the app didin´t detected the unit on BT.

I went manually to Bluetooth and selected the unit.

After connected, i went back to the app and finished the procedure.

After going to the main menu i waited 20 secs and the Android Auto app started runing as expected.

I didn´t alter any option on the options menu.

And the AAW is using 5G connection for better speed and stability.

I since then, have disconnected BT on my phone, reconected, removed the unit, inserted the unit back.

And so far, flawless function... everything works, audio works, music works, steering controls works, phone works (using Mic and Speakers of the car), Waze works.

No disconnect so far...

Im using now:

AAWireless on 2.0.1

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G (Running Android 12 and latest versions)

Citroen C5 Aircross 1.2 from 2019 with latest version of NAC infotaiment.

I hope i can help with my report.

Best Regards,

LPC
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
FYI, I had the S20+, it's doesn't do the disconnecting thing like those other phones, and I had mobile data on and wifi for my kids devices.
[Android Auto General] Gee11:
but u dont drive an Audi A6 4G
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
This behaviour with that other brand of phones is not headunit dependant, and I do drive a VAG vehicle. What the other people are experiencing with MUI OS phones doesn't occur with Samsung. Any issue you're having is something else.
[Android Auto General] Genebaby:
I went for a few trips in the GTI this morning and everything was great again in terms of AAW starting up on the screen, responsiveness and dropout free. I did think stop/start was fixed at the 2.0 FW but will see again maybe in 2.1.

The one issue that has been there for a long time is the Assistant being mute, and it happened again. First drive all good. Go into a store for a few minutes and second drive the Assistant can't be heard.

That's my only issue at the moment.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
One again to everyone with passthrough issues or in general having connection issues... Do the following and it will fix majority of issues.

Step zero: update your AAW to the latest firmware - if you've got issues connecting, there may be bug fixes that help.

Step one: DISABLE passthrough mode in your AAW app settings. Now

reset your AAW device using the small pinhole on the side of the device (hold for approx 5 seconds and you'll see the LED change/stop flashing etc so you'll know when it's reset)

Step two: WIPE YOUR ANDROID AUTO DATA on your device (in settings, search for android auto)

Step three: Clear your headunits Bluetooth connection to your phone.

Step four: Plug in your device to headunit and setup android auto.

Step five: Disconnect your phone and alter the android auto device settings to enable wireless AA (and other desired changes)

Step six: Now plug in your AAW device and set it up and connect (if it doesn't connect, simply open your Bluetooth connections and do it manually)

Step seven: Congrats, you're running AAW without passthrough mode and can now alter the settings within the AAW app.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
Yesterday noticed very weird behavior.

Connection worked ~5-10 minutes and then dropped. And then aawireless started "bootlooping". Headunit showed to choose Android Auto or Mirrorlink (it did not restore previously chosen android auto like usual). Stayd ~10-20 sec like so and then lost again the connection. And it did not manage to show android auto even when I clicked to "android auto" on headunit. And this loop remained to the end of my drive. After few hours started another drive. At first it worked some time and after first drop, it started same "bootloop" again.

I don't know if it may be connected with enabling passthrough mode day before (because regular dongle mode still very unstable and trying different settings still...)
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Strange indeed, can you send in a bug report via help and support --> bug report? Please inform me if you did, then I can see what's happening :)
[Android Auto General] rodmoore:
This failure sounds like the boot looping I am seeing. I uploaded a log to support ticket https://cpeb.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/28709 yesterday...maybe of some use.
[Android Auto General] Tony7533:
Loading is ok. The update process is interrupted by restarting the device.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
You can try to update via another power source (laptop/power adapter). Some cars actively repower the device when AA is killed (which we do when starting OTA). In firmware 2.1.0 we removed the killing of AA, which will solve these issues.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I checked. For some reason your phone is disconnecting from wifi 10 seconds after the wifi connection has been setup. Do you have any apps running which may cause this? Like tasker?
[Android Auto General] rodmoore:
no not tht i know of. Pretty much stock android an very little other stuff on top.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
As I can understand "bug report" has to be initiated manually, like start driving, then enable bug report, if problem appears, then stop and send right?

Does bug report work when passtrough is enabled (as this problem I described, was when passtrough was enabled).

Today morning disabled passtrough, but still constant connection drops. Should I try to send bug report with passtrough enabled or disabled or both?
[Android Auto General] rodmoore:
Just been back out and tried anything I could find to see if it made a difference.

So far nothing, just same connect then almost instant disconnect.

Tried:

1.Disabling Adaptive Battery

2.Turned off mobile network

3.Forgot my home wifi network incase it was trying to relog into that

4.Turned off "Turn on Wifi automatically" option in wifi preferences.

5.uninstalled the Wifi analyser i did have installed

Happy to try anything anyone else can throw at me.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, passthrough is also fine, but the logging is less detailed. In this case it's probably fine though.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Can you possibly send a phone side log? I'll PM you my email address.

You can generate a log via developer settings of the phone: https://support.wizyemm.com/hc/en-us/articles/360059933253-How-to-generate-an-Android-bug-report

I am having basically the same issue with my 2020 Gladiator and the 8.4 screen, but with an S22. Mine had been working flawlessly since I got it and one morning it just stopped connecting. I am able to get it to connect after factory resets like you, but if I like the truck sit for a few hours and the USB power off, I am back to square one.
[Android Auto General] LKnzw:
These steps worked when connecting for first time in my case, unfortunately. Every subsequent connection it got stuck.

With 1.8 firmware AAW used to work fine without passthrough. Since 2.0.0 the only way to make it work with my headunit is using passthrough.
[Android Auto General] Roy47:
I use this in passthrough mode were it works flawlessly. Would love to get it working normally so I could have auto focus. Also problem with it running so hot it cuts out the induction charging meaning your back to a cable connection for longer journeys
[Android Auto General] grac:
Hello :)

What do these features mean in the app?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Checked it, definitly seems like the device is fully rebooting. Like in fully going back to solid green, blinking green, blue. Can you confirm this?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
That sounds very odd. Does the device actually not boot anymore in these cases? I mean does the LED stay solid green? If so, it's most likely defective. If not, there's something else going on.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Do you have a Hyundai / Kia by any chance?
[Android Auto General] Aberk:
I think the device boots. I can make settings changes using the companion app. My phone appears to think it is connected to AA, but I get device not supported on my truck's screen.

The LEDs vary. I sometimes see it solid green, but usually it blinks blue with 2 quick blue flashes then a delay and 2 more quick blue flashes. This blue flashing sequence just keeps repeating itself.
[Android Auto General] LKnzw:
Peugeot 208 - Device ID JTF9GGyz
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Aah blue flashing is the HU side not sending the start command. Can you try to switch to MTP usb mode? that will atleast make the "USB device not supported" go away.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
Yes, at first led goes off. Then solid green, blinking green. Then blinking blue and solid blue. Sometimes it does not even reach to solid blue and starts over...

Tomorrow i'll check what the leds do with passthrough disabled. If I remember correctly, then it does the same, but I will confirm it just to be sure.
[Android Auto General] Aberk:
When I switched to MTP, I didnt get the not supported message. I got no device connected instead. I tried all 3 flavors of MTP with the same results. MTP with force start made the LED green, but the other 2 did the double blue blink I keep seeing.
[Android Auto General] Marsou77:
Hello!

I have been using AAWireless for almost a year and I am very happy with it, everything working as intended with a Google Pixel 6 & Samsung Galaxy A7 and with a Peugeot 208 I.

Since the introduction of AAWireless 2.0 it is advertised that we can easily switch between many smartphone. But in my experience it is not working for me. I have set the AAWireless to firstly connect to the Pixel, and if not found, connect to the Samsung. But it connects only to the last connected phone and obviously I have unchecked the box "connect to the last connected phone".

Did I miss something?

Thanks for your help :)
[Android Auto General] mnunes:
I have an update for my Dodge Durango Uconnect (2018). It seems that once I get AAWireless to work, it only works for 1-2 trips/connections. After that, the next time it tries to connect I see the unit boot, then the LED flashes blue for a little while like it's trying to connect, then the LED goes solid white. If the USB port was still powered (1 hour delay after the ignition turns off), the LED starts solid white, then flashes blue, then goes solid white again. In either case, AAWireless doesn't work.

I did identify a work-around so I don't have to completely setup from scratch each time. In the UConnect screen, I go to paired devices and make it forget the AAWireless device that's been discovered for Android Auto. Then (also on the UConnect unit) I disconnect my phone, wait a few seconds, then reconnect the phone. After about 15-20 seconds AAWireless comes up just fine.

If it matters, I do also regularly see the message "device not supported" on the UConnect screen like others have mentioned. Changing USB mode to the various MTP modes did not help (never connects this way).

My current settings:

Dongle mode = on

Passthrough mode = enabled

Start/Stop = enabled <<< because the USB port stays powered for 1 hour

Firmware = 2.0.1

App = 2.14.0

Phone = Samsung Galaxy S22
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Do you have dongle mode enabled?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
When this happens, this device going back to solid white. Can you try to disconnect handsfree to the car on the phone side, and then reconnect handsfree? That should make it start up.
[Android Auto General] worldonfire:
@Snirpo looks like when passtrough is disabled, then it acts the same. Only difference is that then it is able to show aa for some time again.
[Android Auto General] Marsou77:
Nope, I'm running AAWireless without customizing anything. It's factory settings.

[Android Auto General] bagadj:
this is exactly the same problem i had... now back to 1.8.0 solve this problem, even if the message: "device not supported" shows in my uconnect for a while then disappear.. but AA starts regular with no problems.

maybe it could be an uconnect problem?
[Android Auto General] Flame Red:
I have used the AAWireless on a GM and Mazda, it works perfectly.

On the Volvo I have, the voice directions from Waze are cut off at the end of whatever is said. It does not do this on the other cars I have it installed on. Phone is a Samsung Fold on all.

Might there be an setting I need to tweak for the Volvo to have it not cut off the end of the spoken Waze directions on the Volvo? Everything else works perfectly.

I have th 2.0 software installed.

Thank you.
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
+1 experiencing the same issue with a 2020 Ram 1500, 12" Uconnect, Samsung S10. It happened occasionally prior to firmware 2.0, but now occurs on a regular basis especially during short trips. I can usually solve it by removing AAWireless from the "projection" settings in Uconnect and then restarting AAWireless. Tried dongle mode but it made no difference. Also tried with start/stop enabled and disabled, again no difference.

Hello

I am writing to you for a small problem.

I have for three weeks AA Wireless on Opel Astra with Intellilink and OnePlus 8T.

It often happens that android auto starts up correctly, but the phone doesn't work. I can manage phone calls from Android Auto but you can't hear the voice from the speakerphone but I have to switch to putting the phone to my ear, selecting call, phone in the menu. Not the best thing since I'm driving!

How can I do? I have updated to the latest firmware. Thank you
[Android Auto General] mnunes:
@Snirpo

When I disconnect and reconnect from the phone, the AAW blinks blue for about 10 seconds then goes back to solid white. Similarly, when I just disconnect and reconnect from the headunit it will blink blue then go back to solid white. The only way I've been able to get it to work is to have the headunit forget AAW, then disconnect and reconnect from either the headujit or the phone.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Pretty crazy stuff. One of our testers has the same car. He seems to be using "MTP with restart" USB mode. Can you check if that fixes it for you?
[Android Auto General] mnunes:
I just retried this, but the AAW device goes into what looks like a boot loop.

LED is green (booting).

LED goes white for a few seconds.

Phone screen flashes once like it's going to start projecting.

LED flashes blue for 2-3 seconds.

LED goes green again and the process starts over.
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
I will give it a shot.
[Android Auto General] von975:
hello, I have recently purchased AAWireless installed on Golf 7.5 of 2017 and S21 5g phone, when I configure the device on the machine it works correctly but from that moment on the phone is no longer able to connect to the home wifi network. I don't know where I'm wrong.
[Android Auto General] tallleroy:
Yes @von975, when AAWireless is working, your WiFi is connected to the AAWireless device. The WiFi is a substitute for the USB cable. This works the same way as Android Auto does with Wireless Android Auto head units.

Since WiFi is connected to the AAWireless device, it cannot be connected to your home network at the same time.

If your Golf leaves the USB port powered after you leave your car, try Start/Stop in Settings for AAWireless.
[Android Auto General] smirle:
Hi all - how do we request a feature in the app? I'd love to see a 'soft reboot' option so I don't have to unplug and replug in my AAWireless unit every time I have issues.

I realize that unplugging and replugging is a great solution but my AAWireless unit is in a bit of an inconvenient location for aesthetic purposes.
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
Try Sabrent HB-UMLS 4-port USB 2.0 hub with switches,
[Android Auto General] RealNBB:
And for what this switch?
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
It allows you to turn the AAW on & off without unplugging & re-plugging the cable. Aside from being more convenient, it saves wear & tear on the cable & its connectors.
[Android Auto General] smirle:
I like that out of the box thinking! Unfortunately that won't work in the space that I have allocated for the AAWireless. Hopefully the dev will see this and add a reboot option. Could just be a button in the settings menu.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Hmm can you shoot in a bug report via the app? Help and support --> bug report
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I can, but it feels more like a bandaid solution. What kind of problems do you have?
[Android Auto General] mnunes:
Device AAWHu0f11f0

I sent two debug reports.

1 - device is in USB normal/default mode and fails to connect.

2 - device is in USB normal/default mode and I manually forget AAW in the headunit, then it reconnects and works.

Between those two, I tried to do a debug with USB in MTP with Restart, but it wasn't able to complete a debug report cycle. Perhaps the log data is in report #2.
