That's the same charger I got. The charger itself is great and if I'm just streaming music via Bluetooth it works awesome. But the combo of aawireless plus wireless charging is just too much. I think a lot of it is just the flip 4 being a less than ideal form factor to keep cool. I know I've seen reports of the flip heating up quite a bit during gaming as well.

I don't know how high of a temp will cause damage. I know I've seen as high as 46c at which point the phone will shut off the wireless charging, which in turn shuts off the fan on the charger.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
46c is too high.

40-45c is the max according to different battery data sheets.

I monitor the battery temp in summer and stop charging at 39.7c. I reach this temp after 15-45 minutes in summer time (depending on outside temps). In winter times I can leave my phone for 2 hours on the charger without reaching 39.7c.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, this is already kind of possible by enabling start/stop and selecting some random Bluetooth device to start the connection (not the HU handsfree), so it will not actually start based on BT handsfree. You can then start the connection manually with the the "force connect" widget and kill the connection from the notification. If you want we can work together on making these things part of the public API. Please join us at https://join.slack.com/t/aawireless/shared_invite/zt-1rgddavyq-BKI4rW_Lh0tYRVTOaAPU4g

Hello, I'm on beta test with firmware 3.0.

I'm very interested in using AA through CP cause my car(Mercedes) has poor AA interface as you know. Being not MBUX, it displays CP full screen which is very cool. I've installed v3.0 and set CP and AA through CP enabled but keep failing to connect. Blue light keep blinking and my phone blinking from time to time but nothing had happened. Is there any options I can try? I'm using Samsung Note20 with my Mercedes E300 for your reference.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
I (my son literally) have made some simple app with two very very large switches (easy clickable during the driving without losing the look to the road and focussing to hit some miniature text-switch) named "Disable AA" and "Enable AA". This app when launched does nothing untill "Disable" is pressed - it blocks AA service in Android (package hide) so AA connection drops and I can easy use origin car BT features without crazy AA phone service. "Enable" makes AA unhidden and wireless (or wired as well) connection is re-established.

Disadvantage is that hide-unhide package commands require the phone to be rooted (no problem in my case). You could probably do it without any problem on the AAW hardware level.

From my POV, the best possibility (optional) could be to block phone service via AA only - leaving map and other services running. But this I guess is realy hard (or impossible) to do.

Joint to the slack if something.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
Maybe try the passthrough mode?

Have you tried the set (AAW+your phone) with other car, or your AAW but with other phone?
[Android Auto General] JOHN197835:
Hello i need help please. I have a portable car dvr with android auto and this item have bad sound quality when i connect with aux to my car unit to have sound to my speakers. So my question is if i can with AAWIRELESS device send the android auto audio to my car unit with bluetooth. Thanks for help.

New update released for Xiaomi mi 11 lite today, it is the first global miui 14 / Android 13 for my device.

It is MIUI 14.0.2

Connected via AAwireless as usual.

Tried to change mobile data manually from

4G/LTE to 3G = no disconnection

4G to 2G = no disconnection

3G to 2G = no disconnection

3G to 4G = no disconnection

Disabled mobile data toggle = no internet = no disconnection

So what would be the result ?!
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Test

Tested this Xiaomi issue and all fine. Tested several times and fine.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Just to clarify, you were on the Global 14.0.1.0.TKBMIXM ROM then received an update to 14.0.2.0 and it has fixed the linked data/wireless issue?

Or do you mean you upgraded from A12/MIUI13 to EEA 14.0.2.0.TKBEUXM and you no longer have the data/wireless issue?
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Nah I was on the global 13, as I said above this is my first miui 14 upgrade. Yeah no longer this issue.

Took some pics with and without mobile data:
[Android Auto General] festor:
Can you go into Settings > About phone, and provide details of the MIUI ROM you're on, including the letters within the brackets? It would also be good to know what Android Auto version you're on.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Here you are:
[Android Auto General] festor:
So it looks like you have a Mi 11 Lite 4G and AA beta.

You're the first person I've seen mention that MIUI14 fixes the data/wifi issue so I wonder if it's an extended AA timeout added to the beta that's stopping the dropout. Have you enabled Start/Stop in the AAWireless app?

@Snirpo is that a Redmi Note 9 you used for the video above? It doesn't look like it will get MIUI 14 unfortunately.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
No, never needed start/stop. I will stick to this update and don’t jump to miui future updates.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Updated to new AA version which was released today.

Tested about 2 hours driving and all fine. Disabled mobile data toggle several times then back. No issue yet.
[Android Auto General] Netzmark:
As my app (the one with AA process hide/unhide) is not a good solution (requires entire AA "registration" process to come through), so finally I use Start/Stop mode. It's because I don't want to force an AA connection every time I get in the car.

May I know how should look the process of the connection establishing?

When I'm connected and want to break it - notification and "stop", it's clear.

But how to make a connection? I can't see any switch for it. I can run AAW app but connection is not getting (searching AA... and nothing). So, I go to settings and choosing "Save" - it establishes the connection. Is it normal way as intended by author? Seems be little weird, isn't it?
[Android Auto General] r0x:
My Phone Display turns on, every time AA gets connected, and it stays on, til I turn it off.

I don't know whether it is AAWireless or AndroidAuto itself.

Anyone knows if there is such a setting for this somewhere?
[Android Auto General] jonnywells:
Unfortunately seems like my Poco F3 which yesterday updated to miui 14.0.7 is still suffering the WiFi dropout in bad mobile signal areas 😞
[Android Auto General] festor:
In my case, I think it was a coincidental carrier/network update that's helped me. I still disconnect when manually disabling data etc, but I've had 2 dropouts over the past few weeks when I would normally have several every day.

The only report that MIUI 14/A13 fixes the Xiaomi issue is from a Mi 11 Lite 4G (Global) user on this forum and there was no video. It could also be the AA beta they are using.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
I recorded a special video for you, I updated AA this morning as well and all fine:
[Android Auto General] welshblob:
Well that looks promising, is your phone the Mi 11 Lite? I have the Poco F3 and I upgraded it to 14.0.7 Global yesterday. AA wired just didn't want to kick into life the first time I tried it when connecting the cable. Went shopping in Lidl and tried it after that and it worked! So trick is to go shopping in Lidl and things will magically fix themselves!

I'm not holding out much hope as to whether the mobile data dropout bug has been fixed on the F3 with AA Wireless from the comment above but I will try it later.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Yeah 11 Lite 4G,

I heard it is fixed in xiaomi.eu for some users there as well:

New - Android Auto wireless connection aborts - network change

Hello, I think many of you know the error that on Xiaomi devices wireless Android Auto does not work stably. As I understand it, it is due to the fact that when changing mobile cells or a failure of mobile reception, the WLAN and BT module is reset briefly. Thus, the wireless Android Auto...

MIUI 14 - 23.2.21/23

Is this version of MIUI 14 has Photon motor technology? I heard it's not in every version of MIUI. Photon Motor Technology is just a marketing name to push MIUI 14. Technically speaking it's a core code optimization that had been building step-by-step by Xiaomi. Legacy devices that be...

xiaomi.eu

Maybe you need to downgrade to 14.0 2?! Really don't know.
[Android Auto General] festor:
Thanks for the video.

Looking at those posts, it seems to be a specific version of AA that fixed the issue. One guy subsequently updated MIUI and the issue came back until he went back to AA 9.0.630824.

It makes me think AA might have fixed the issues with a (less demanding) lengthy timeout. I'm not using the beta like you, but I took a store update to 9.1.631044 yesterday and will give it a test. I'm actually waiting for LOS 20, but I might experiment with AA versions before the switch.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Like I said above I updated my AA today and my posted video is with this AA version:
[Android Auto General] festor:
So you switched from the beta to the official release? You previously posted an image of a beta version number.
[Android Auto General] italodance:
Nah, beta testers always get both releases one by one.
[Android Auto General] festor:
I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I have now tested 9.2.131204 beta you were previously using and 9.2.631214 stable release you currently use and I still have the same issue. I reverted back to 9.1.631044 (store release) which also doesn't fix the problem.

Unless there is another factor at play, it seems like MIUI 14 fixes the problem, but only for the Mi 11 Lite 4G (Global) so far. It's a relatively niche issue so there may be other handsets that are fixed. I'm sure plenty of AAW users don't even know their Xiaomi is the cause of dropouts, but I have seen dozens of people say MIUI 14 doesn't fix the problem. Mostly POCO users on Reddit, but also for the Xiaomi 12X, 12T Pro, Mi 11T Pro and a Redmi Note 11T.

In the thread you posted, Mardeck with a Mi 11 Ultra and another user with a Xiaomi 12 say it's fixed after changing the version of Android Auto, but I wonder if they are just getting far fewer disconnections like me. Or maybe Mardeck and his Mi 11 Ultra handset shares something with your Mi 11 Lite. Birraque, a Poco F3 user who said it was confirmed working doesn't appear to use AAW and was just linking to Mardeck's post.
[Android Auto General] zaang:
I have the xiaomi 12 pro and miui 14 don't solve the problem...

I have a Xiaomi phone since Mi4

Fu** xiaomi, this is my last xiaomi phone...
[Android Auto General] MoshuXXL:
Hi folks. I've just bought and installed AAWireless. Everything works great and no problems whatsoever with the wireless adapter. The only thing is I used to have a routine on my Galaxy A52S that turned on the hotspot when connected to my car bluetooth. But when hotspot is on the Wireless Android Auto doesn't connect anymore. I've tried both 5GHz and 2.4GHz. Is it possible to share my phone internet connection with other devices without breaking Android Auto Wireless projection via AAWireless? Thanks in advance.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Depends on the phone. On some phones this is possible, on others not.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Delete, duplicate.
[Android Auto General] Fifth313ment:
Sorry for the late response. I turned on start/stop and android auto notification appears and says looking for android auto. Then the aawireless app notification icon says connecting to device and then connected to android auto but the icon on my head unit never appears. It also disconnects quickly and does the whole process over and over and over. Then when I try to make another log I had to bring it inside again and I start debugging and then press stop debug and create bug report but it keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over and I get errors could not change debug mode and could not get debugging status I your aawireless device powered on? Then I get log downloaded failed while my phone vibrates over and over while trying to start stop Android Auto. I think something happened when I updated my device when I got my new s23 ultra as it was working fine till after that update. And maybe the new phone is being blamed for something that happened to brick the device during the update. But I'm down to try anything else you might have up your sleeves?
[Android Auto General] MoshuXXL:
On Galaxy A52s is possible to turn on Hotspot while connected to WiFi. I`ve done it in the past. But when connected to AAWireless I receive a message saying that the current WiFi network can`t be shared.
[Android Auto General] andreaslev:
Hello,

I have installed the last app version 3.22, but when I leave the vehicle and disconnect from BT, the app does not close and continues to try to connect to the AAWireless dongle. It still worked in version 3.19.

I use the AAWireless dongle in client mode via the vehicle's WiFi.

Otherwise great support, many thanks :-)

:)
[Android Auto General] cristi4an:
Hello everyone, I'm new here :).

I'm a AAWireless dongle user since February I think. With the first one I had random disconnection issues, sometimes it would stay connected a few seconds, sometimes 5-10 minutes.

Then with the second and current one I had a better experience, but again, frequent disconnections (sometimes it takes 15-20 mins, other times 1 minute...). I've tried all sorts of cables/settings in the companion app, tried an S22 and an S23, but no luck, same behavior.

At the moment I have an S21 Ultra and Skoda Superb 3 with Columbus HU.

All the apps are up to date, the HU as well.

Device name: AAW2ac7e959.

App version: 3.21.

AA version: 9.1.631044

Any help will be much appreciated!
[Android Auto General] cristi4an:
Anyone :D?
[Android Auto General] italodance:
It is different phone by phone, My configuration is:

Wifi 5 GHz

Channel 161

Passthrough Disabled

DONGLE Mode Enabled

Try it, you have to try and test it yourself.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Very likely to be this issue: https://github.com/cpebit/aawireless-issues/issues/124 . This issue manifests mostly on some VW models. We have a hardware fix for this issue in the next batch. Unfortunately we were never able to fix this issue with the Chinese, because they bassiccly could care less. Now that we produce in Europe, we could finally figure it out properly. Please contact support at support@aawireless.io to be put on the list for replacements regarding this issue.

Big credits to @worldonfire who helped us a lot with testing and providing VW head units.
[Android Auto General] huppejue:
Hello everyone, there is hope. My wife has the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 (Sweet) and has received yesterday via OTA update to V14.0.2.0.TKFEUXM (Android Auto Version 9.2 .631214-release). Now there are no more disconnections when switching networks. Xiaomi has finally fixed the problem. Best regards
[Android Auto General] Jackalito:
Best news I've heard in a while. I've got a Mi 11 5G. Hopefully, I'll get the MIUI 14 OTA update in the coming weeks and I'll be able to test it myself.

Thanks for the heads up!
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
I want to help @Snirpo ,but I get this message : The project can't host more strings because its owner reached their plan's limit. They've been notified, no worries.

So how can I add my language? 😅
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Thanks! We switched to crowdin a while ago: https://crowdin.com/project/aawireless
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Ahh tnx! I'm looking in to it.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
@Snirpo because AAWireless has some origens of the Netherlands, and a Dutch translation in my opinion is just a must because of this.. I took the time and did the whole Dutch translation of the app. It's at 100% now 😁.

Hopefully it's useful for you and everyone!

Hopelijk heb je er wat aan 😉
[Android Auto General] josefsch:
This could be related to the notifications created when Android Auto connects. You can verify this by turning off all notifications for Android Auto in the phone's settings. If that is the case, you can proceed with more sophisticated settings ...
[Android Auto General] zaang:
I have the Xiaomi 12 pro (Zeus) EEA 14.0.8.0 and the problem remains...
[Android Auto General] brackenhill_mob:
@Emil Borconi @Snirpo Trying to buy one of these in the UK. The link on your website (with the new offer price) takes me to Amazon UK but the page says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." and has done for the last few days.

How do I buy one??!!
[Android Auto General] Emil Borconi:
Yeah, UPS in UK wasn't able to deliver the packages to Amazon warehouse in one week.... should be back in stock in a few days. Sorry about inconvenience.
[Android Auto General] brackenhill_mob:
Will you still honour the reduced price?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Agreed, it's maybe a bit stupid to have a product of Dutch origin and not have a Dutch translation. I'll check the translation! Dankjewel! You can check the result of the translation in the dev app btw: https://appdistribution.firebase.dev/i/210fc06c9667e5f8
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Let's replace it, please contact support@aawireless.io
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Nice! Sometimes the suggested translations were good btw. But sometimes really weird haha.
[Android Auto General] r0x:
Hi, all AA notifications were already off, so it must be something else, what causes this behavior.
[Android Auto General] kostiksimb:
Wow

5 days without disconnects.

How to?

Last config: Samsung S21+ (500$) + aawireless + aa 9.6

New config: Vivo Y35 (120$ :D) + aawireless + aa 9.6
[Android Auto General] MarcVS123:
I have a Samsung xcover 4s. I can make the connection with aawireless and I can see AA on my screen in my car. But all the apps are offline.

in enabled on the phone in Wi-Fi settings, under Advanced, the option "Switch to mobile data" .

I've also enabled in Developer options 'mobile data always active'. Also no luck.

Any Ideas?
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
Question, I got the aawireless but the packing is different then what I saw on YouTube. On Youtube you have a nice packiging and is the aa wirles wrapped in a sack. What I got was an all cardboard packing with no protection around the aawirrles device little bit surface scratch? Is this normal or?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Yes, we changed the packaging to more environmental friendly packaging without any extra plastics. Surface scratches are not normal though. We had a few more reports of this and are looking into optimizing it.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Good chance this phone cannot support Wi-Fi and mobile internet simultaneously. Is the 4g icon still visible on the phone when connected to Android Auto wireless?
[Android Auto General] MarcVS123:
I found the problem. It seems that sometimes 4G doesn't work at all on this phone. The only thing that helps then is restarting the phone. After that 4G worked, also when connected to aawireless.

Thanks for your help.
[Android Auto General] androidjel:
AH okay, that's a bummer... When ever I receive a product that's not cheap it needs to be scratch free for me, otherwise I return an device. So I'm in a dubio now, because you are not a big company and I don't want to send a product back that I think works (did not test it yet).
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We are definitely not a big company no :) If you want to return it, no problem, no hard feelings.
[Android Auto General] sToRm1nG:
@Snirpo

Is there any update on Android Auto over CarPlay and if this will be possible as an update without any hardware changes?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
We first have to get CarPlay (with an iPhone) working on as many head units as we can. AA over CP works, but it's buggy.

We will provide CP as an (free) OTA update for the gen2 (rv1109 SoC) based devices. We've tried to get it to work on gen1 (rk3308 SoC, indiegogo) devices as well, but this involves some major kernel hacking. We might figure this out in the future as well but for now this is too much work.

CP is hard, much harder then we thought, with all kinds of quirks on different head units. VW for example is a sh*tfest. And also the fact we don't have an MFI chip on board, like all the Chinese products (illegally) do, makes it harder.

We are planning to release the 3.0.0 firmware with native CP (in beta) soon. AA over CP will probably be released later this year. Realistically though, this is only useful for a minor part of the head units.
[Android Auto General] Koshara:
Good day, Everyone!

Truth/Disclaimer - I did not read 265 pages of this thread, apologies.

Truth/Disclaimer 2 - I did sent below question to support, but figured I'd ask hivemind too ;)

I just purchased AAWireless and am happy to say that it does work as expected right out of the box with the default settings after initial set-up via the app.

There is one issue though - I carry my phone in my pant's front pocket and just after a few minutes of driving I can feel my phone heating up significantly up to unpleasant temperatures and I'm forced to remove it from my pocket - action which kind of defies the purpose of the device, doesn't it?

And of course, with heat comes rapid battery drain.

I'm wondering if there is anything that can be done about this either via device or phone settings?

Change Wi-Fi settings? Use 2.4 GHz? Use passthrough? Something else?

Device - AAW721902ec (FW ver. 2.2.0)

Phone - Samsung Galaxy S22 (SM-S901B/DS) Android 13 / OneUI 5.1 / Android Security Patch - 1 April 2023

Car - KIA Sorento (Model year 2019), Multimedia - Standard Class Gen5

Thank you for your suggestions and I'm happy to help troubleshoot.
[Android Auto General] milanxx:
Wireless AA has this temperature characteristic and discharge too. It's just a mobile issue.
[Android Auto General] _Big_Lebowski_:
Hi everyone, sorry if this has been addressed before but 256 pages is a lot!

I have an aa wireless, love it and it works very well. I just have one issue with it, if I unlock my car, it powers on the USB which is actually great because it means by the time I get in and turn the engine on etc, android auto normally has already loaded. This leads me to my issue though, I have noticed if my phone does connect to the android auto first, it does not connect to my "cars" bluetooth, so if I make or receive a call, I can't hear anything or they can't hear me, even though the call is displated inside android auto on the head unit. If I get in the car, let it connect to the head unit first, then connect to android auto, phone calls work perfectly fine.

Has anyone come across this issue? Since the aawireless connects through wifi, could I 'forget' the aawireless on the Bluetooth side? Meaning it can only connect to the car's Bluetooth?

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Enabling "dongle mode" will fix this. This will make AA wait for the handsfree of the car before starting up AA.
[Android Auto General] abefre:
Hi, I have a Xiaomi MI11T Pro and it connects to AA without any issues however it disconnects frequently, I have a Toyota Prado 2020, is there anything that I could do in the AA settings or the phone. Looking forward to your response. Many thanks
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
There's a good chance it's this issue:

This is an Xiaomi issue and will happen on any native wireless head unit or dongle.
[Android Auto General] sandbaky:
I have a Xiaomi 10t lite 5G, AAWIRELESS works great, but sometimes it disconnects.

It saddens me that Xiaomi does not fix this error.
[Android Auto General] _Big_Lebowski_:
Thanks, I'll try this later. I did try stop/start and that didn't work, I'll give dongle mode a try!
[Android Auto General] abefre:
Thanks for the info my phone worked well with MIUI 13 but disconnects in MIUI 14. I will try the dongle mode and see if it works. Many thanks
