Is anybody else having issues getting moto assist to work? Specifically while driving?
I have the driving feature set to talk to me and resume music play when my device detects that I am driving, however it doesn't look like this is working for me. The meetings feature is working fine, but even though my X displays the driving notification in the status bar, it doesn't read texts or announce who is calling or texting me.
I've looked for solutions to this issue on the mighty internet and found that there are others with similar problems and all they had to do was reset Moto Assist by clearing data and cache for the following apps:
Motorola Assist
Motorola Assist Framework
Motorola Assist Engine
Motorola Assist Talk To Me
Here is the issue for me. My apps list only shows the first two apps in that list. It appears that Motorola Assist Engine and Talk To Me are missing from my device (which would explain why I'm having issues). The problem is I don't know how to get these apps.
I have tried uninstalling updates for Motorola Assist and updating it again. I also tried a factory reset. Neither of these solutions brought these missing apps to my device and clearing data and cache for the apps that I do have doesn't solve the issue. I am on android 4.4. I updated my phone as soon as I got it so I don't know if this was broken by the update or not.
Does anybody else have this issue? Anybody here have an idea how I can fix this?
It looks like this guy over at the moto forums is having the same issue with no luck: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/e1788e31bf

Just took a drive and its working here... and I don't have those other two binaries.
I don't have the other two either and moto assist works fine.

Hello everybody,
I'm struggling to find a way to automatically answer incoming calls on my Moto G 2nd gen (stock ROM) when the Bluetooth headset is connected. When I bought the phone, i.e., before the Lollipop update, I used a third-party application (Handsfree) to answer incoming calls when the Bluetooth is connected. After the update to v5.0.2, neither Handsfree nor any other similar application I found on the Play Store seems to work anymore, and I always have to manually click the headset button to answer the call, which is quite unpractical.
I searched on the internet a little bit, and it looks like this feature has been removed (!!??) with the Lollipop update, but other websites report that the feature is still present in Motorola Assist, which I couldn't manage to get working since I couldn't find any option for automatic answer in the Driving Mode, nor anywhere else. Any ideas? Is perhaps this feature available on some custom ROM, such as Cyanogenmod?
Thank you very much!
Even i am looking for the solution might be lollipop update broken all apps which use to automatically answer the calls

Tasker can do this, and SO much more. Its brilliant for automating anything on your android device

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried to achieve this functionality with a Tasker script, taking inspiration from here: tasker.wikidot.com/btautoanswer. Actually, the link seems to refer to some older version of Tasker, because I had to to do slightly different steps. However, the functinality "Take call" which seems to be crucial to do what I want is "unavailable on this device". This is confirmed by the tasker changelog: tasker.dinglisch.net/changes/changes4.6.html
Removed
action Take Call: not available on Lollipop+ (Google not granting the needed permission)

How did you do that with Lollipop?
U need to root for tasker to work for picking up the call automatically... google ruined the lollipop
I see. I will try and let you know. Should I see the Take Call action as available upon rooting?

Sorry for not following up. I don't have access to the device at the moment since the request for help in this thread was originally meant for another person. I won't be able to try the solution bloodhound42 suggested before a couple of months, unfortunately. Feedback is appreciated if some adventurer wants to try first!
Hi. I posted briefly before about a problem I was having. I have a nexus 6p and a vw 2016 head unit. Everything works really well & connects instantly etc except: I am not getting any notification sound for incoming text or hangouts messages. This is not very safe as you have to keep looking at the screen to make sure you haven't missed anything important. The strange thing is that this corrected itself on a recent journey and it was bleeping incoming messages just fine. But now it's gone back to complete silence again?! I'm not aware of having changed anything in set up. Is there anything I could have missed in terms of settings?
Any thoughts or experiences welcome.
Thanks.

You're not alone. I have found a post somewhere were someone was experiencing the same issue. I also have this issue. No matter what application, there is no notification sound. I think they've changed something in the code that doesn't allow the notifications to gain audio focus, therefore it doesn't play notification sounds. I made a work around using tasker. It seems when I use tasker and use the "say" command (for TTS) and have it set to respect audio focus, then it will interrupt (audio ducking) the audio on the stereo and say whatever I need it to say. I use Autonotification and a few other things to trigger the TTS. For example, if I get a telegram message it will say "New Telegram Message".

Ok. Thanks for your thoughts on this. The thing I find quite strange too, is that the time it was functioning correctly, was definately since the last AA update version. End of March I believe. Now it no longer functions in my case and to my knowledge there have been no software updates to either AA or the phone itself since then to change anything . Stranger and stranger!
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm having exactly this issue on a Nexus 5x connecting to a Kia Niro stock Android Auto head unit.
When connected, new messages received in Google Messenger and WhatsApp generate notification cards on the head unit and are read when tapping the card. However no notification tone is generated when the message is received.
Are you guys still having the same issue? Or did you find a resolution..

Hi. In my experience, I don't think there are any solutions as such. There are many "solutions" talked about on forums and it seems some of them work for some & not others and even amongst those that they work for, they may not work all the time. Therefore they can hardly be called a solution really. My experience of this is that it seems to depend on the software of the phone rather than just the AA app. By that I mean that after I upgraded my Nexus 6p from android 6 to android 7, performance on android auto in the car has been much more reliable. Pretty much 100% as it should work in fact.

Thanks for responding - I expected as much, just wanted to avoid a DenverCoder9 scenario.
I've implemented a workaround for now using existing an existing Tasker + OutLoud profile to announce the message arrival over the media connection. Hopefully it'll simply start working one day..
And my notifications on a vw at are too loud. Try to increase the volume while you have a notification playing
I, too was having this issue and I think I have it solved, at least for my situation. Once I turned off AT&T's Advanced Messaging, I began to receive all my text notifications again. I know this solution might not apply to everyone but I know other carriers have similar features that may also cause issues.

I had to switch to a yaata messaging app to fix it. and wondered if it was advanced messaging
Hey, so I'm fairly new to android auto, having been in my 2016 civic for only a couple weeks. Everything is working great apart from the text message issue. Basically when I receive a text, it shows up on the home screen but when I click it, aa won't read it to me. The screen goes dark and the microphone icon goes blue as if it's trying to read it, but nothing happens and it returns to the home screen. Interestingly, if I press the microphone and use a voice command like 'read my last text message' aa says: "actually, I can't read your messages yet". Any help would be massively appreciated, it's really the only issue I've had so far with the vehicle or Android auto. Thanks.
Sorry, forgot to mention the phone is a nexus 5 with 6.0.1. The usb cord is the original that came with the phone, plugged into the usb port in the car designated for smartphone connection. Also I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Have you checked the permissions on the android app on your phone? Sounds like it doesn't have permissions to view your SMS?

Yah I went to settings/apps/app permissions/sms and enabled all the apps in there. I also went to android auto, messenger, hangouts, Google play services, Google app, and contacts individually to make sure sms permissions were granted. I'm able to send a text from android auto, but it won't read out texts that I receive.
I'm having the same issue with my Galaxy S7 Edge running Android Auto on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. I went on vacation and my car sat for a while and now when I'm in Android Auto mode I can't receive and send text messages. I ask Google for the weather or to do a calculation and I get nothing. However, if I ask Google to dial someone whether in my contacts for not, it dials the number. Does this make any sense? There doesn't appear to be any official Android Auto support. I contact Pioneer and they told me my contacts weren't syncing with Android Auto which was strange enough when they said it, but given the fact that I don't get a reply when I ask GoogleNow for the weather means my contacts shouldn't have anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
Same here: SEAT Ibiza with Full Link, Nexus 6 with 6.0.1 with SMS and WhatsApp. Could that be caused by some setting for language, text-to-speech? Everything else works fine, also sending messages.
PS: The system language ist German...
Similar.. it'll occassionaly read one message. But only one. Not always the first one per time I connect the phone to the car. Hyundai elantra 2017, vzw gs5.

Made an account just so I could maybe help a few people. I'm using a Galaxy S6 with an AVH-4100NEX unit, and I was getting the same issue. Could send messages fine. Tap to read message - agonizing silence. Managed to solve it by factory resetting my device with Samsung's Smart Switch software. Backup. Reset to factory setting. Restore. Success. All the best!
**SOLVED** this problem has been driving me crazy, but I found the problem. Go to your Google Now settings, click "Voice" and turn OFF Bluetooth Headset.
Its to bad we can't have that on and use Android Auto. You have to choose either the built-in system in the car with Bluetooth or use Android Auto.
Anyways, I hope this solves your problems.
I was hoping Build A Wall's post was the fix but it didn't change anything at least for me. My GoogleNow works fine if I'm just using the phone in my hand. But ever since the end of June, when connected to my car, I can't text or ask for the weather but GoogleNow understand if I ask it to call someone or ask for directions. And even when it does work like making a call, it doesn't reply by saying "Calling Steve" like it used to. It's really weird. I'm wondering if Android Auto came out with an update and it screwed up things.
I don't think there has been another update, I just think it is primitive software that still doesn't quite work as it should. I have had similar problems that I have posted on here in that I could no longer send text messages but could still navigate etc. My situation now is that I have changed nothing on my Nexus or my car unit yet now it is working perfectly again! Hopefully, that is encouraging for you. I hope they will stabilise the software with some updates.

@mpisani sorry that didn't work. It sounds like your problem is a little different than mine. I was having the same issues as the fiest post in this thread. It just wouldn't read my text to me, but everything else worked great.
I hope you get it figured out.
I turned off Bluetooth entirley before starting the car, it didn't help.
Having the same issue. Next text will come in, screen will show that there is a new text and from whom, but when you touch the card the microphone in the right corner turns blue while rest of screen changes tone a bit to show its in background but there is no audio of text message being read. ask google to read new texts and google says it cannot do that at this time. I'm wondering if it can tell thru gps if you are in a state that has banned all texting while driving and they are trying to cover their ass.

Thank you so much - it worked!!! My Voice commands did not work at all, no matter what I tried (which was a lot) - it just turned on, listened, turned off, repeated. This fixed it. Now I can again give voice commands, and it will read messages to me as well!

I've been having the same issues with my new 2017 Elantra. It's sporadic in reading it, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Interestingly, when reading messages it uses the other TTS service and not the one from Google Now.
Going to try the BT setting and see how it works. Also was wondering if the issue was from the SMS app.

I don't believe it is the sms app purely because the fault is the same for me also with google hangouts which is of course a different app.
I'm really bored with it now sometimes working sometimes not no matter what solutions we come up with on here and try out.
Does Apple car play have all these issues with working just when it feels like it? Maybe we should all get iPhones so we can have software that just works as it should.
What about mirror link? Does anyone have experience with that? Or is it just music apps rather than communication like texting etc?

Since this new update, my LG v10 Android Auto experience is horrible - essentially voice commands hardly every work - I'm not getting full prompts all the time (sometimes I get audio beeps before/after, sometimes just before, sometimes just after, sometimes never!). I've found I can guess at what I should be saying when it's listening for voice input to send a text, but I get zero feedback from the system. And my received texts will not read back. Very Very frustrating. As I work for a Honda dealer, our engineers have informed me it's all on Android. I think I'll fire up my iPhone today and go back to CarPlay for a while and hope the next release fixes my issues - it's just not usable in its current form.
The Bluetooth setting worked for me. Really odd fix that I would have never guessed to try. Thanks for the tip

So far, like others, that odd setting fixed it. Google Now update must have introduced it.
Hey Guys,
Today i upgraded from MM to Nougat and flashed the Moonlight ROM (nobody answered in the thread) ...so far everything works fine, but I have massive problems with push notifications...i receive push notifications just from whatsapp or email...from apps like flashscore (sports app) I dont get notifications
Can someone help me?
Could a new flash of this rom help?
Edit: everytime I turn off WIFI and turn it on again, it works for a few Moments...and I receive all the messages I missed at once
The same happens with mobile internet
I have exactly the same problem and can say it's definitely GCM related, as i first experienced it while trying to get the "Join" app (great pushbullet alternative) to work properly and ran the diagnostics that are included within it. The problem seems to pass for a while when the network status changes, then no pushes come through at all until it changes again, eg. connecting or disconnecting WiFi or turning airplane mode on and off. Im pretty sure it's not battery-saving related as it occurs regardless of if the app is active or working in the background, unless it's the Google play services part that gets killed after some time but i have no idea how to check it. I've tried some heartbeat interval changing apps but unfortunately none did the trick and I'm out of ideas and this is pretty frustrating
