Začátek Konec. Na delší trase do neznáma to přináší problém, kdy AAW při ztrátě signálu jde na trať. Za jízdy je velmi nepraktické otevírat flipcover pro odemykání telefonu a stahování anotací, kliknutím na miniaturní šipku vyvoláte tlačítko RESTART. Zkoušel jsem to přes OK Google, ale apk to nezkusil a otevřel web. Možná, kdyby se to stalo na hodinkách? Jinak vím, že to není chyba, ale funkce aplikace AAW nepomůže ani odpojení kabelu USB.

A jezdím na něm s 2,4GHz, protože mi na 5GHz několik dní po sobě vypadával přesně na stejných místech

Weird issue on my AAwireless with 2.0 firmware.

When I start the car (Volvo with Sensus head unit), AAwireless starts fast and starts playing latest played song in Spotify almost instantly. After 3-5 sec music stops and Spotify says that is was paused in Android Auto.

Is this a common issue with a workaround, or am i doing something wrong?
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
I enabled the development firmware for you.

Hmm this is weird, can you try dongle mode?
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
Dongle mode acctualy solved it!

But i have the same issue as some others here with the sound not working sometimes when driving. Was this fixed in 2.1?
[Android Auto General] kb_79:
Same here no sound randomly when calling with Pixel 6 phone and Peugeot car device AAWfR8ar1TO mode dongle enabled
[Android Auto General] festor:
@Snirpo I wonder if it might be helpful if I tried the newer firmware?

Since 2.0 I still get the random disconnections, but I also now get screen lockups. Every 10 min (roughly) the screen freezes and is unresponsive to touch and audio stops completely. I can switch to the radio and use other HU options so it just seems to be AA. I have left it for several min and it doesn't clear, I have to unplug and reconnect AAWireless.

Until today I didn't have a chance to properly test things, but I've now tried with and without dongle mode coupled with and without passthrough mode. I also tried the four highest 5g channels with the UK region set. I then factory reset (with the app), cleared all data for the AAWireless and AA apps and removed the BT pairing. I setup from scratch (by cable first to help dongle mode) and it didn't fix things. I also tried a fresh 6" cable and two used ones that seemed OK (no freezing) in the past. I have yet to try running without the VAG fix enabled or change USB mode from default.

It bizarrely seems to alternate between a freeze and a disconnection, they seem to follow each other every 5 - 10 min. I notice the freeze can happen after sitting stationary, but the disconnections (auto reconnection) seem to only happen while travelling. There are no issues when running on the cable.

[Android Auto General] Swap_File:
Is there a way to force trying a connection like the AAwireless "Force Connect" widget, but from a MacroDroid or Tasker macro?

"Force Connect" doesn't show up as a shortcut I can launch, and I don't think I see an intent I can trigger.
[Android Auto General] SOFO888:
@Swap_File

The plugin Autotools has a function to force a Bluetooth connection. I also use it in case of disconnects to my car entertainment system.
[Android Auto General] Franco10:
@Snirpo, could you allow me to try FW 2.1? I am experiencing frozen black screen in dongle mode. AAWNs5W1ZZx. Thank you sir!

Done.

[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
It will help for the freezing issue, but it will probably not help for the disconnection issues. I'll enable the firmware for your device.
[Android Auto General] RealNBB:
If u want please enable firmware 2.1 also for me! :)

Is it "final" 2.1? Thanks!

AndroidAuto-AAWOXuUG3hm
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
MIUI somehow pushes Android auto to togle wireless connection. Before AAWireless firmware 2.0 it reconnected in few seconds, but in 2.0 it causes freezing. As Snirpo mentioned 2.1 will solve freezing, but will not solve disconnections- they are caused by MIUI.

The only workaround I have found is to flash xiaomi.eu MIUI 12.6 21.10.22 beta A12 rom. I have tested later versions, but for me only this one works without disconnection on Mi 11. That rom release may have some minor bugs, but I have not noticed any. I use it as deily driver and all is OK - bank apps, NFC payments etc...

I suppose it should be OK for POCO F3 as well.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
I wouldn't generalise it quite like that. Poco x4 pro 5g running MIUI and I've got zero disconnects, no freezing and running rock solid on firmware 2.0 currently. Only time I've got any disconnects is when going out of signal range and MIUI changes networks - that is something all MIUI phones are plagued by.
[Android Auto General] valeri_s_k:
That is right - as you say, may be all MIUI phones have disconnections when going out of signal, at least these ones with A12. That is an issue when using Android Auto wirelessly (cars' build in or dongles) and you drive in an area with unstable signal, or in roaming when phone swithces operators.

With the rom release I have mentioned ( I think it was first A12 MIUI rom), connections stay stable no matter mobile data/cell connection is lost.

Ofcourse, if someone does not want to unlock bootloader and flash cutom rom, should stay on official versions and hope xiaomi to fix it... If they will at all...
[Android Auto General] festor:
@valeri_s_k thanks for the info. I might be up for trying another ROM, but I don't like the idea of being stuck on a beta version. It's really disheartening that later versions don't work.

@1qazwsx4 very interesting. Could I ask what settings you use in the app? Or if you changed any settings in MIUI?

Is there any way to confirm what causes a disconnection?

@Snirpo thanks very much, that's great thanks. I have joined the channel and will let you know how it goes with 2.1.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Haha we would be dreaming for Xiaomi to preform a fix 😁 I'm running MIUI EU ROM too. Perhaps Emil and the team might come up with a Xiaomi network fix for rooted users 😎 can't have it all I guess - I have accepted that I need to unplug AAW when the reception is bad.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
Running the latest MIUI EU ROM rooted with magisk, AAW runs great except for the MIUI bug which will disconnect from AA when data signal is lost and you go to 2g signal. So you should be able to technically replicate by changing data/network connectivity while using AA if you wanted to replicate it - or drive somewhere with no signal
[Android Auto General] janz25:
Hi @Snirpo , would like to join testing 2.1 firmware as well.

@Snirpo

Velký problém dne.

Zařízení se opět odpojilo a mám S/S takže po zastavení ručně restartovat z anotace a nastartovat AA na jednotce. Řekl jsem, že zkusím vypnout S/S a v autě se mi nepodařilo připojit přes BT. Ok restartujte jednotku a vidím nové číslo jednotky Změním S/S a jednotka pak jen bliká zeleně, ale mobilní telefon se nepřipojil nebo se nepodařilo spárovat. Vzal jsem ji domů k PC a tam vše fungovalo. Zpátky do auta a tam to zase jen zablikalo zeleně. Ok resetujte znovu a už mám číslo 5 jednotek a znovu se nemohu spárovat. Zadní pc spárovaný a jdu k autu. Opět tam bliká pouze zelená. Několik pokusů pak vedlo k připojení k jednotce a zapnul jsem S/S a vidím, že si pamatuje moje auto. Ušetřím a mám AA na jednotce

hello everybody. i have a strange issue after upgrating firmware to 2.0.0. AA wont start with no reason after few days of normal working.

if i reset app, and delete AAW from my car unit , delete bt connection, and i configure it again it starts to work again. but after some days my car says: device unsupported. tried to change usb mode but with no luck, also tried passtrought mode.. not help at all

when my car says device unsupported i need to delete AAW from the car and configure it again..

it never happens under firmware 1.8.0 (it works really really great this firmware), is it possible to downgrade to that firmware? i asked to support center but they told me that is no possible..

here is my configuration:

car: JEEP COMPASS MY20

phone: ONEPLUS 6T (android 11)

AAW APP VERSION: 2.12.0

AAW FIRMWARE: 2.0.0

DEVICE NAME: AAW0NaI4e4g
[Android Auto General] ilbarba77:
EDIT:

Every time I start the car after a few minutes everything freezes, voice commands and touch screen.

Then I disconnect and reconnect to restart AAwireless and then it works without any problems until the end of the journey.

How can I solve it?

[Android Auto General] jonnywells:
Received my aawireless unit a few weeks back and finally got around to trying it but run into a problem straight away.

When plugged into my Audi A7 with a MIB2+ HU I can't seem to connect to the aawireless at all using the app nor can my mobile see anything if I try manually.

Tried it in another car and the same. Plugged it into a standard usb port on my pc see if that worked and nothing.

The unit just has a little light green/blue light on nothing else.

[Android Auto General] CAT1210:
I have an issue with my Z Fold3 where the AAWireless app will reset it's battery setting to "Optimized" after some time. This means I have to unlock the phone and open it for AAWireless to start, usually while driving down the road. I have assured the phone is not optimizing apps at any time, uninstalled AAWireless app, removed myself from beta, factory reset the AAWireless device, cleared cache, everything AAWireless support has said to do and it still does it. I go in change the settings for the app, and it reverts back to optimized after a couple of days. Can anybody help me understand why?? No other app on my phone does this....
[Android Auto General] FrankieG64:
I'm experiencing a similar problem after updating the firmware to 2.0. It seems that the Bluetooth connection doens't complete. Most of the time if I manually go into my phone and make the connection it starts up. Other times, mostly when I am making short trips in and out of the vehicle, it refuses to connect. Using firmware 1.8 and usb MTP connection it was fairly reliable. Still would have connasction problems after short trips, but the next day it would connect without issue. I have a 2020 Ram 1500 with uConnect and a Samsung s10.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Downgrading to 1.8 is possible, I'll enable it. Please make sure you disable dongle mode before downgrading.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Are you using start / stop? If not, it doesn't matter if the AAWireless app is battery optimized because it doesn't do anything functional regarding AA itself.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Solid green, DOA unfortunately, please contact support@cpeb.it for a replacement.
[Android Auto General] bagadj:
Thank you, how to do this?
[Android Auto General] CAT1210:
Yes, that is a setting that I switched to AAWireless for because the MA1 would drive me nuts as my CX-5 leaves USBs on for a few minutes on shut-off. For me, optimized does make a difference as changing it back to unrestricted allows me to not have to unlock and open the phone to get it to start on the head unit....even when enabling start/stop for my vehicle bluetooth.
[Android Auto General] Snirpo:
Ah ok, then it makes sense! Care to join us on Slack for some debugging?

You can downgrade via the app now. Please make sure dongle mode is disabled beforehand.
[Android Auto General] CAT1210:
Sure. Give me just a few minutes to get out to my vehicle and I will jump out there.

There is definitely something going on with uconnect. I have a 2020 Durango and the same thing happens.

After getting out and back in before the USB turns off (1 hr delay). It never restarts the Android Auto app on the uconnect.

Mine says it's connected to AAwireless and Android Auto on the phone, but the headunit never switches. Selecting the BT does nothing almost like the button is disabled when you press it but it's not obviously. Saving the AAwireless settings to reboot the device doesn't do anything either.

You have to really mess with it to get it to work, or wait till the next day and it will usually work.

I have a Google Pixel 4a 5g so AA and Android are up to date more then most phones. The same cable works 100% of the time all the time when connected direct so I know the headunit works properly also.

Uconnect is really popular so you think they would figure it out but it's never really worked 100% since I got it.

[Android Auto General] mnunes:
I'm in the same situation. Dodge Durango with Uconnect (2018 model). It's very hit or miss, and nearly never reconnects if I'm getting back in during the 1 hour power delay.

My settings:

Dongle mode = on

Passthrough mode = on

Start/Stop = on

Firmware = 2.0.0

App = 2.12.0

Phone = Samsung Galaxy S22

The USB cable I'm using works 100% of the time when I plug my phone in directly to it.
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
Apparently not. I moved it to a friend's car to try out, because he didn't see his car listed in the list of known working cars. However, it worked perfectly.

However, when I moved it back to my car, there was nothing I could do, to get it to work. I got the steady blue LED, but nothing on the car screen. I tried resetting; I tried uninstalling AA; nothing worked for six hours of trying to find the problem.

Then I noticed on the help site, that this might mean that the cable was bad. However, the cable worked in my car earlier in the day.

End of story: The cable apparently failed when I moved AAW between the cars !! With a new cable, AAW is now working perfectly.
[Android Auto General] Kingcool88:
Today the error came up even in dongle mode:(
[Android Auto General] cichy222:
For anyone interested. Upgrading to 2.0 fixed the problem described by me. The set Wi-Fi channel is 153. Finally, now everything works as it should at 5 GHz, so far I haven't had any disconnection, it's perfect !!! .
[Android Auto General] sidofido:
I still have some disconnections even with the dongle mode turned on. I tried multiple wifi channels, but it didn't help. Sometimes it's reconnects again, but sometimes I need to re-plug the USB
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
I found the boxes for the two such hubs that I have:

Sabrent HB-UMLS 4-port USB 2.0 hub with individual power switches (does not support charging).

Unitek Portable USB 3.0 hub. 3 ports on top, 1 port on the end.

Both have an attached 6" USB-A cable & are unpowered.

I think #2 above is the better unit (more rugged), but I currently use #1 due to the switches. The switches allow me to reboot or disable the AAW without repeatedly pulling the USB cable out (which caused one cable to fail).

On one of my two AAWireless devices I noticed some issues during the past weeks.

Somehow my phone can't always connect to the device's Bluetooth any more. I have to unplug and replug the AAWireless device. Afterwards it works again. It started a couple of weeks ago, but it became more and more often . This happens now every 2nd time I want to to connect.

I made a reset today. Let's see if this helps.

Is this a known topic?
[Android Auto General] Lord Paulus Cobris:
Hello,

I have purchased and AAWireless, and got it 2 days ago, but im having a problem...

I have a good android phone (octa core, 3 gb ram, 64gb storage), but the manufacturer never updated him to Android 9 or up...

Im still stuck on Android 8.1, but that have never been a problem until now!

I can´t instal the AAWireless APP because it says Android 9 or superior...

Why?

I can run all the important apps with no problem at!

The phone is : Vodafone Smart X9

What can be done?

With my very best Regards,

LPC
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
I can't speak for the developers, but new releases of OS system software usually provide new features, which may be required for new software to work.

As I understand it, many (most?) users don't even need the app in order to use the AAW dongle. It is only needed to change settings if necessary. In many (most?) cases the app is not needed. If you need to change a setting, you may be able to borrow a newer phone from a friend.
[Android Auto General] Lord Paulus Cobris:
Hello,

Thanks for your kind reply.

I believe we need the app, to pair the phone to the AAWireless.

Without that you can´t do the pairing process.

Android 8.1 is not so old... so i don´t see the reason why we (android 8.1 users), can´t have the app working.

Maybe if installing the APK directly could work?

I really would not like to purchase a new phone, just because one aplication, everything else works great... (Android Auto, PowerAmp, Waze, Maps, etc...).

Thanks again...

Best Regards,

LPC
[Android Auto General] DeanGibson:
You do NOT need the app to pair. I've done it several times, & I just pair directly:

Connect the AAW dongle to the car (I think even a USB power outlet in the house will work, but I have not tried that).

Open your phone to the Bluetooth settings screen, & select "pair to new device".

Your phone should show a device named "AAWireless-????".

Select it & wait for pairing to complete.

Now plug the device into your car, if not already there. If you have set Android Auto settings as described in the documentation, Android Auto should connect within a few seconds.

This is an essential page to read: AAW setup -- just start with the latter part of paragraph #3.
[Android Auto General] 1qazwsx4:
I've never used the app to pair because it has never worked for me. I've tried to pair two of my phones without any luck (android 10, 11 and android 12) I had to manually connect it with Bluetooth but once I had, I can then use it fine and could use the app fine too. Obviously having the app is beneficial because you can alter settings/mods or tweak things incase something's not working correctly. To be blunt, android 8.1 is pretty obsolete and a security risk anyways imo I'd be buying a new phone before purchasing AAW if I had to choose...
[Android Auto General] AggelosGR:
hello.

where exactly is the downgrade option?thanks in advance.

1.8 was working perfect for me.

but with 2.0 i have a lot of bluetooth issues
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
when snirpo has set up a downgrade for you, you just select update in the app and it will offer the 1.8 version as an 'update'
[Android Auto General] AggelosGR:
and how i can inform him so i can downgrade?
[Android Auto General] martin.armstrong:
the fact that snirpo has told you that you can downgrade means that he has already set up the app specifically for you, to offer 1.8 as an 'update'!

I am assuming that the message from snirpo that you quoted was a message to you and not to someone else!

If you post a message on this forum requesting a downgrade, if snirpo sees it he can offer a downgrade but there is no specific 'downgrade' option in the app so he has to specifically set up the downgrade for your device.
[Android Auto General] AggelosGR:
he didnt told me.he was talking to other guy.i just quoted him cause i couldnt find any downgrade option

Thanks Snirpo, downgrade done.

While AAWireless is connected to the cars headunit, my phone says that the bluetooth connection to the car can not be established.

Is this the expected behaviour while Android Auto is running or is something wrong on my side?

I stumbled about this because I experienced phone calls getting directed to the phone instead of Android Auto while driving ....
[Android Auto General] SoNic67:
I have an issue that I am not sure if originates in my headend or in the AAWireless.

Basically, when I use the navigation (Google Maps or Waze), spoken directions mute the music. After the spoken direction ends, the music returns, but, after like 5 seconds, there is another short muting of music (less than 1 sec), with no sound.

I have that happen on all the firmware, including the 2.0. I tried the USB dongle mode too... no change.

This doesn't happen with the USB cable connected to the phone.

Any ideas?
[Android Auto General] AggelosGR:
same happens with me.

dont use dongle mode.

when you see android auto to your car screen w8 for a minute to pass and try a phone call and see if its working through car speakers
[Android Auto General] -Loom-:
I was using normal mode already, never tried dongle mode.

I was just curious if bluetooth connection from smartphone to headunit is disable once Android Auto is connected and handling all the stuff.

Maybe Snirpo could clarify this?
[Android Auto General] AggelosGR:
Its not disabled.

Phone is disabled but it starts to work again after around 1min

Since I updated to the 2.0 Firmware Android Auto has freezed up a few times. I had to unplug AAWIRELESS to fix it.
