I have been using android auto for the past 3-4 weeks flawlessly. However in the last day when I plug my phone in I now get the red page stating this device cannot work with android auto on the phone. I have tried everything from reinstalling the android auto app/clearing cache/data and the same for google play services to factory resetting the phone. Has anyone else encountered this? does anyone have any ideas?
Phone: Nexus 6, stock, never rooted, never unlocked
Headunit: Pioneer AVIC8100NEX
Edit: I've been messing around with this, I am starting to suspect the 7.3.29 update to google play services is the culprit. downgrading to 7.0.99 seems to make it work up until the google play service updates itself automatically. I've tried connecting the phone in airplane mode to prevent this but android auto doesn't launch at all when the phone is in airplane mode.
Send a bug report.

Better send a bug report to Google and the Android Auto support team. After I took that update I had some problems with other devices, not sure where but there is a list of devices and applications that have switches to allow/not allow them and all of them were switched to off. Had to turn many of them back on for me to get any information from them. Don't know about the AA application. I have not used it much because there is no Pandora Radio support yet and I have not had to go on any long trips so all I've needed was the voice navigation from Google maps on my phone. Hoping Pandora gets added soon, then it will be all I ever use.

7.3.29 is installed on my Nexus6, with the same HU, and I have no problems. Have you updated the avic8100NEX's firmware to 1.0.3?
Yea, I updated to 1.03 the first day I got it installed. There seems to be some people with a similar issue, and others dont experience it at all.
I started a post over at androidcentral http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...y-states-device-cannot-work-android-auto.html
Two others chimed in with the same problem. Started about the same time google play servivce update rolled out. But if that is the problem then I am at a loss why only a few of us are having this problem.
Yeah, I think the update caused issues on some devices. I tested with 6 different phones the other day. HTC One M8 w/ CM12 seems OK, as does MotoG stock or CM12, and I think GS2 w/ 5.1 ROM. GS3 was among the problem devices.
I see a permissions problem in the logcat; Google's own Android Auto app can't get the permissions it needs.
I'm not positive this is all directly related though.
What build of Android?

You nailed the nail on the head...
I think I've figured it out. It definitely is the google play services update 7.3.29 on a N6 running Android 5.0.1. I can out my SIM and block google play through my home firewalls then downgrade to 7.0.99 and it works flawlessly. I then manually updated to Android 5.1.0 with google play services 7.3.29 and it also works flawlessly. So my recommendation is to manually apply the 5.1 update. I just tried to go back to 5.0.1 and once 7.3.29 services come down it no longer works. And went back to 5.1 and it works again. Definitely an issue with 5.0.1 and google play services 7.3.29 combination.
All of this testing was done with factory images, the only non factory application installed was android auto. all partitions on the device were formatted prior to applying system images.

This also worked for me. I was so confused as to why my Nexus 6 all of a sudden didn't work with Android Auto... I was running 5.0.1 with the updated Google Play Services 7.3.29 (auto updated). Switched to a ROM with 5.1 and it works again. Thanks!
Hey Gyus,
I have HTC One mini 2 for two years on Android 4.4.2 all stock without any big problems until now.
I came home on last Sunday with GPS working. I do not install any new app but GPS on Monday stop working. All apps have the same problem no gps signal.
I tried sports tracker, gps test, google maps, sygic navigation. Same problem. I tried unistall every app which can use GPS( or I think that I tried unistall all of them) and nothing helps.
My last try was disable google play app and after restarting my phone, problem solved GPS working again.
Then I activate google play app again, reinstall some apps again and it was ok until next morning, situation was the same. So I deactivated google play again and after restart it was ok.
Could you give me some hint where should be my problem? )
I would like to use GPS based apps and google play together without activate/deactivate google play app.
There is some pictures for this.

where exacly gps not working? car, house?
works but not satellite lock.
wont work at all? no icon on notification bar?

I do not have house without roof so I tested it in a car, and open air.
works but not satellite lock.
Without satellite fix and when google play is activated all satellites "are off", after deactivating and restart, satellites imidiately works and after few second fix is on too.
wont work at all? no icon on notification bar?
Icon in notification bar works for a first time since restart. In my opinion there some "looping or deadlock", because after first try "gps using app"(for example gps test) after restart, sometimes icon stays blinking.

i only asked because it happen to me when i installed an mp3 transmitter in my car.
it turn out that GPS wont lock if a 89.5 frequency in the air.
i used this APP for problem solving. you can reset sat and see all satellites with force signal.
have you tried resenting your phone? you can do a backup with HTC Sync and then restore.

Exactly it starts approx. 10days ago.
Do you find any solution? Try to deactivate google play, restart your phone if it helps... But it is only temporary solution. I am looking for better solution.
I think that there was some secret update of some google services and there is a bug.

I had a similar problem with a cheap chinese dashboard camera when it runs from 12V car socket, gps signal was weaker, but it is not this case.
I use simple version of your app called GPS test - I cant post links yet so there it is:
play(dot)google(dot)com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest
I have not tried reseting yet, because I think it is a SW problem and I think it is possible to fix it... I hope.

I have done factory reset and GPS worked over the weekend but now same problem again. If I restart 1, 2 or 3 times in a row it may start working again. I will test your solution deactivate Google Play services and restart.

OK. I think you will face a problem with deactivate google play services. It was my first try to solve the problem, but I cant deactivate this in my phone. So insted of google play services I disabled google play store and it finally works(after restart).
Now I have another idea. I will try to unistall all updates from google play store app and we will see. Now it is working, but I will be more confident if it will work tomorrow(over the night) too.

so i just tested mine and sat nav wouldn't get a lock.
however using the app and reloading xdata it fixed the problem.
Hi.
Same problem here.
Disabled most Google services without success. Can't disable Google play store itself.
Have tried GPS fix apps without success. Any assistance here would be great as its been about a week now and starting to have a real negative impact.
Cheers
I tried to unistal google play store update, so I had a stock version and it works ok, but I have to have internet connection disabled.
When Internet is on google play store is automaticly updated to last version which is the bad one and problem persist.
So maybe new question - it is possible to block updates for google play store app? Or is it possible to install previous version of this app?
I can use only two of them, the stock one(very very old) and automaticly updated last one. I would prefer last one minus one version that one was ok for me. Any hints how to revert to older version?
If a reset doent fix the issue, i would try to contact HTC and see what they say.
I can write to HTC, but I think I know that they will not able to do anything...
After I enable net connection google play store app update a new version(automaticly during the night even if I disable background data for this app).
Now I have version 6.9.15.G-all [0] 3104571 and after update everything works until phone restart.
Again same situation, but there is a solution, if you kill the google play store app, delete app cache and data, GPS work again.
But I think that works only to the next restart or to the next google play app start(background or by user).

Yes, with factory version of Google Play Store (4.8.2.0) GPS works without having anything disabled

in order to disable Google play store (1)
First, you must have version 4.8.2 installed (just replace it in /system/app with the new com.android.vending.apk)
Download a root service from the store called "Disable service" (again make sure root is installed and the app is given root permission)
Now, in the disable service app, navigate to the system app tab and find Google play store. Tap on it and you will get a list of services
Scroll to the bottom and uncheck "check Wifi And Update" service.
You will see a "please wait" notification, and at the bottom busybox should appear, notifying you that the app was given root access
Exit the app and voila! Google play store will never update itself or Google play services ever again (unless you install a new version, in which case you would need to repeat the process)
Thank you, it is good to know for users with rooted phone.
I have my one in stock conf. without root.
I made a call to HTC and they told me that it is known problem for about two weeks for HTC One, One mini 2 and One M7.
They are trying to do their best to solve the problem but HTC support from Poland resend this problem to HTC support to Egypt and them works on it.
I think that there is only two solutions - new version of Google play store app or HTC software update for One mini 2, both are very complicated, because google do not care about HTC people and HTC stops to pruduce updates for mini 2 for about year and half ago...
They wanted to know IMEI, telephone number and they call me maybe, baby ))

I thought that you will have the problem next day and I do not want to write it there.
I think that problem is somewhere between google play store app and HTC modification of Android in our devices.
I think users cant do anything except disable google play store app, unistal google play store app and disable net connection or wait for HTC update or wait for next version of google play store app.
After updating AW 2.0 to my watch, I am having trouble trying to set up google account on my watch. I have factory resetted the watch a several times, and I have cleared the cache of Android wear and Google service app.
Put the button on the watch. Go to the parameter, then go to personnalisation and enter your google account. Voil
I have the same issue. Did you manage to get a resolution?
or anyone have any ideas.
Running on Android wear 2.0 and Lenovo P2 on 7.0
Can anyone offer any advice on things to check or steps to try.
Basically when i try and add an account on either the initial set up or later, it never finds my Google Account. Just get the loading circle spinning and spinning.
I am pretty sure the problem is actually either the Android Wear app or the Lenovo ROM, as i can connect it fine with my LG G4.
Also have posts on the Lenovo forum and Android wear forum.

I am having the same problem. If you check google product forums, there are more people with various watches and phones having the same problem. I think its something on google's side. I wonder if downgrading to an older version of the wear phone app will work.

I was having this issue until today. I uninstalled the Android Wear app, Wiped Google Play services cache and data, downloaded and installed a Wear APK from february off of apkmirror, installed it, wiped cache and data for the app, reset my watch, and it worked! Rather than sitting at the loading animation forever, I was instantly brought to the copy accounts screen.
I tried going back to an old version, but I didn't go back to Feb. Thanks.

Thanks but no dice. Does this on both wifi and cell data.
solution is create a second google accout on the phone, disconnect and reset the watch, when you re-pair it to the phone both the old and new google accounts should show up, add the account you want and once the set up is complete go to accounts on the phone and delete the account you don't want.......worked for me on Sony z5 and moto 360
I just got the same problem, but found the solutions now. here's what the solutions i found from someone in the internet and it did work on mine. First, Remove your secondary or more google accounts in your mobile phone (make sure there's one left only), you can add it again later. And then you can try again to add account/ copy account from your watch.
The point is, the watch somehow can only copy account if there's only one google account on mobile phone.
Hope this help.

I tried everything and realized it was either downgrade to 1.5 or suck it up. I said forget this and bought a Samsung Gear S3.
Anyway, Google (and I say Google because this has happened across numerous brands on AW2) messed up on this one. I would have stuck with AW but for this, but their response has been totally unacceptable.

I got my P40 Pro Plus yesterday, pretty flawless install of GMS on the factory .137 firmware. Google Maps is now installed and it kept shutting down, but I was able to get a longer time in between oncr to download a map of a selected area. Afterward and about three restarts of the phone later it worked. All except for voice assistance. The voices is there, as I did a test, but there are no prompts. Has anyone been able to fix this and get the prompts?

Yep, a couple of times. The behavior changes, though and it's inconsistent. Right now, the app will open and function so long as I never turn wifi on. The moment wifi goes on, the app shuts off.
If you have any tips on reinstall, I'd be happy to try them out.

Yes, reinstalled numerous times, also from APKPure. I reinstalled again after clearing the data and cache and it works fine now,but still no voice assistance,which others widely report as well, including in this very forum. The recovery mode thing you posted sounds sketchy. This is a brand new phone and Google Maps is widely reported throughout the internet as having broken voice assistance.

I think I was very lucky, I got mine in early Sept which is prior to existing GMS method stopped working and near all g. apps working fine.
Fingercross my GMS will not break during firmware OTA update.
Outta nowhere it's working now, no issues. I don't get why sometimes I can't even reopen the app while on wifi to having it work perfectly.
Now to try and figure out how to fix Google Assistant.
I have a Note 20 Ultra which has been working great since last September on my Hyundai I20N with the same cable and no automatic updates.
Last week it worked great one morning and later on that day it started throwing an error saying the phone is not recognised.
I have updated the car's head unit software, tries several versions of AA, cleared cache and data, switched cables, used a Samsung cable, uninstall and reinstalled, cleared Play Services cache, all short of a phone reset.
Meanwhile, my wife's S20 FE works fine on my car, and mine doesn't work on any car.
Ideas?
Try to delete cache and data of Google Play Services app.

Already tried it. Also removed all updates to Play Services. Still no go...
I'm seriously baffled by this one.
Also tried connecting my Galaxy Tab S6 LTE to my car and it worked flawlessly. Same AA version, same updates, same options on AA... and still my Note won't connect. Reproduce me sideways....
Android auto was working for me less than 24 hours ago. I factory reset my phone and boom my android auto no longer works. Did the whole uninstalling and cache thing and nothing. I am able to get to the welcome to android auto and then when I click it on my head unit, it crashes

Exactly the same as with my Note 20, although I did not do a factory reset. As a matter os fact, between AA working and no longer working, I did nothing on my phone.
But my Tab S6 has all the same software, versions and updates, and it works just fine...

I saw some stuff about that.
What's weird, though, is that in my case it was working in the morning and stopped on the afternoon of the same day, and I didn't update anything in the meantime. Weird.
Following that previous tip regarding the Google Android Auto help forum, someone suggested something that I tried and actually worked: download and install AA version 8.0.623314 and that's it, it seems to solve the issues.
