Disable Android Auto? - Moto X Q&A

Have a car dock which triggers car mode as before, only with Lollipop it triggers Android Auto, which hijacks the home screen - if I'm running Google maps and want to go to home to open another app (music player, Sirius, etc.) when I hit the home button I get quick flash of a green Android Auto screen, then it snaps back to maps - can't get to home - if Maps is running and you hit the back button, it closes or stops navigation, which means i would have restart maps again just so can launch another app - this was not an issue on Kit Kat - only choice so far is to exit Car Mode via the drop down screen, but then unless I'm running nav the phone goes to sleep -
As I understand it, Android Auto is meant to allow phone to interface with enabled car radios, and is not needed/usable on radios which are not Android Auto enabled, like mine - any ideas/solutions/work arounds would be much appreciated -
FYI, I'm running Lollipop 5.1 bone stock from OTA update - I have done a factory reset since the upgrade -
Thanks to all -

Having the same problem. Can anyone help?

How to disable automatic apk launch

I've made car install of the Nexus 7 (Citroën DS5 French car, here is one dedicated topic).
My installation is Nexus 7 2012 with Timur USB Rom + USB camera for rear view.
When I start the car, the tablet is going back from sleep mode and all the USB are also powered on the same time.
The consequence is few seconds after going back from standby, an automatic prompt appears asking if "USB Camera Pro" is the right application to launch as the USB camera is detected. If I click on 'Ok' and choose by default, as soon as the tablet goes back from standby, the Camera app launches.
And I don't want this. I prefer being able to start the application manually.
Do you know if there is possibility to disable this?
Thank you for help.

[Q] Torch not working with volume button since stock upgrade to lollipop

I'm on stock android S4 Active I9295. Since official Samsung upgrade to lollipop 5.0.1 the function and setting has disappeared to be able to use volume button to switch on torch when screen is off. Does anybody have a way to get it working again? Would very much appreciate if anybody can help. Made different searches but couldn't find anybody else mention this problem or solution.
This has been removed from Android Lollipop
It still works on mine, also official lollipop. Although when it times out and you it's 'up volume' again it doesn't turn on unless you turn the screen on and off.
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Bluetooth problems

Have my 7 plus exactly a week.
Specs as follows: Model TA 1046, Android 8.1, 1st June 2018 Security patch
I've connected my phone to my car system with bluetooth but everytime when I start the car the phone is connected to the car system by bluetooth but after 2 min de BT connection is lost when I look at my screen of the phone I see that Bluetooth icon is still connected but it isn't. I already forget the BT connection in the phone and in the car and reconnect but problem remains. In the manual of the car audio system they refer to change the bluetooth settings of the phone where you need to set keep connections always. But when I search for that in the phone I can't find that option.
Does somebody know how to fix it?
I experience the same problem. I have this problem since the latest update.
I recently got Bluetooth headphones and found that playback easily got choppy if a part of my body was in between my headset and phone, or if the phone got locked. I did find a solution to this however, and not sure if it would work for anyone that has Bluetooth issues as well.
It seems as if Bluetooth has its own app on Android 8.1, and due to this, it's getting managed by Doze or the automatic app power saving that's on by default. I switched off battery management using the following steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Apps & Notifications
3. Tap on the option that says "See all x apps"
4. Tap on the top right hand 3 dots.
5. Tap on "Show system"
6. Scroll down until you find "Bluetooth" and tap on it
7. Tap on Battery
8. Tap on Battery Optimisation
9. Press the blue dropdown that should say "Not optimised", and select "All apps"
10. Find Bluetooth again, tap on it.
11. Optimise should be ticked, tick "Don't Optimise" instead, then press Done.

I've had the same problem after the Januari update of Pie.
Could not find any BT device anymore.
Tried everything that I could find on the internet, without factory reset.
Then I came across the Bluetooth Discovery app in the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manjul.bluetoothsdp
With the motto: It's already broken, so what the heck, just installed it, opened it and .... there were the BT devices that were not visible from the BT settings in Android itself.
Connected to my car stereo and .... voila. Music streaming and phoning working again
I have been in contact with Nokia and they have said to try this
In the meantime, we can suggest you a workaround in order to sort it out:
1.
- Please go to settings > network and internet > 3 dots on the top > reset network preferences. Keep in mind that this will erase all the Wi Fi passwords.
- After that, please do a Soft reset: Press the Power button and Volume UP button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds, release them when you feel the phone vibrate and you see "Powered by Android" on the screen.
2. Check in safe mode:
- Press and hold the Power button.
- In the window that will appear on the screen, select and hold the "Power off" option.
- It will appear a new window called "Safe Mode". Then, press OK.
The device will restart in safe mode. An inscription about this will appear at the bottom left of the screen. After going into safe mode, use the device as usual. Check if the problem has disappeared. Remember that only preinstalled applications are available to you. If you want to go back to the normal mode, you just need to restart the device.

Home button animation after Android Auto install

So I was just messing about with my phone. Using it, you know? (that's what you're supposed to do with a phone, right?)
When all of a sudden, I realize that when pressing the home button, I get the home button animation that is on Pixel and most Android 8.1 devices.
After searching a bit, it seems to be related to installing and setting up Android Auto.
It also seems to go away after a reboot and come back again when you open Android Auto. A little trick for you all!
