Car connection

Just received this, coming from an S8+. Problem being when trying to connect to my car via USB, I've used the original cord and it recognises initially but then stops charging. Other phone is fine and I need to use android auto, don't want to take it back but it's a key feature I use. Anyone else experience this?

You are talking about Android Auto? The Huawei phones have a long history of incompatibility with that. Looks like the P20 Pro made a big enough splash to attract attention from Google though, as they are apparently looking in to making it compatible.

Not sure if it's even just an Android Auto issue as when connecting via USB it doesn't stay connected, it's weird.

Same problem for me...
Sometimes AA stop working and the P20 pro stop charging.

Easy projection on HP LapDock

Hello!
Right now, I'm a Samsung S8 user due to its release on dex mode. In near time, I'm planning to change to P20 Pro (actually, any Huawei phone with easy projection system)..
I'm using hp lap dock on my S8 to have a portable laptop experience.. But I'm wondering whether easy projection works on HP lapdock out of the box? (since Samsung dex system runs with some problems with it).
Anyone can share experience?

Ask to try a demo unit at a store with your lapdock.

Sadly, not yet, and I couldn't check it out either, because P20 Pro is not officially available in my country yet, so there are no place to check the compability...
Wouldn't take a risk, so I still stay on my rooted galaxy S8..

i have tried to connect an Huawei p20 with same results. Looks like keyboard is the only thing connecting... Both Phone and lapdock on latest Firmware.

I tried with a Mate 20 x. Wired or wireless is a no go. The weird part is that I can screen cast with my Galaxy Note 9 but not with the Mate 20 x. I though this was standard protocol.

i tried a huawei mate 20 pro as well. Did not work wired and wireless. i updated the wireless firmware to the latest. just the keyboard seems to work.
Did someone updated the wired firmware and tried it?

Is any developer reading this thread? Especially from Phoenix.
I'd like to read the dmesg (or equivalent for the right daemon). I suspect the kernel build in the 8.1 release for the P20, does not handle DP over USB-C properly. Either power handling or resolution. hotplug events during modeset? Any powerstate change errors?
In case anyone can make sense out of this, so far I believe it's kernel related.
Mate 10 Pro did not work with Microsoft Display dock.
P20 Pro does
Mate 10 Pro worked with the apple USB-C to HDMI dongle. But in 720p only
P20 Pro works with the same dongle, but in 1080p
Macbook Pro can connect to the Lap Dock and use it in 720p or 1080p.
The Microsoft Display Dock also supports 1080p. So why on earth can the P20 "talk" to the display dock fine but not the lap dock? It can't be just resolution setting. I believe the Note 9 supports the same resolutions. In reddit, it appears someone at least, got their Mate 20 Pro connected. So I suspect it's how Display Port alternat mode is handled, precisely how the host device is detected, that is the issue. Hence, dmesg could help.
Anyone able to upgrade to 9.0 pie with a lap dock can try? Mine won't upgrade, HiSuite keeps complaining that I am not connected to the internet! I tried 5.0.1.300, 5.0.2.300, 8.0.1.300 all to no avail.

So my Huawei Mate 20 PD has worked on lapdock. After a few tries of disconnecting and reconnecting it worked.

Thats good news. My lapdock is in the mail. Going to try it with my X, ASUS ROG Phone, and my Razer Phone 2

I haven't gotten my m20x to work yet with it. What error were you getting that was fixed by just plugging/unplugging a few times? At first I thought it was the cable, so I got a thunderbolt 3 cable. I get a different error now but still no dice. Works on my Razer phone 2.

Huawei p20 pro android auto

Hi all
I have a question regarding the p20 pro and android auto. Whenever I connect the phone it automatically switches from file transfer to charge only in the usb setting. I've tried enabling developer options-turn on USB debugging and changing the usb settings in developer options to MTP. Nothing helps. As soon as I connect the phone, it reverts back to charge only. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Try turning on Bluetooth. Works for me.

I have a Huawei p20 pro and waiting for a car with Android Auto.
Someone told me he is able to use Android Auto on the same car with a Samsung Note 9 with no cable!
However i do not intend to change the brand. Anyone managed to do it?
The spotify opens and works with no cable but that is it all

Did you check this setting? It should set the default: Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Select USB configuration
Does it actually affect any AA functionality? I don't remember using File Transfer with AA and everything worked great.

I don't think AA supports wireless functionality right now, maybe he talks about music apps.

I asked and he says maps are working. Some mirror thing. And no root

Android Auto Wireless w. P40 Pro?

Hi all,
I am currently trying to connect Android Auto (wireless) to my P40 Pro and my car. Google services run on the phone, Android Auto also runs on the smartphone, but I can't get AA to show up on the display in the car. The car can though (Skoda Enyaq iV 80, similar to a VW ID.4).
In AA on the smartphone I can read a note: "Android Auto was not pre-installed on your device..." blah blah. Does anyone have Android Auto on the P40 Pro and can use it with the car's infotainment system? And what do you have to do to do that? Am I missing any specific google service?
Thanks, jennix

This might sound silly but it might work --- try a different USB cable.

Hi svetius, thanks, until now i've tried only wireless Android Auto, because the car has only USB C connectors (the small ones) and i do not own an appropriate cable yet. I ordered one...

hi first you need to connect the phone to the car with the cable once and then it will be normally automatically

Hi, today the cable should be delivered. I'll try then and we'll see...

Yesterday i tried to connect the phone via cable to the Infotainment System to use Android Auto. This works, but only if the phone is not connected to the Infotainment System in parallel via Bluetooth.
Wireless Android Auto still doesn't work at all with this phone and this Infotainment System, even if it was previously connected via cable.

So you say that android auto it's not compatible with p40 pro gms sideloaded?

At least it seems so. I have an older Xiaomi Pocofone F1 with LineageOS 18.1 and gApps. This phone works with AA Wireless, but it can not charge wirelessly (which the car can because a Qi charging cradle with antenna amplifier is built in). Therefore, I would already like to use the Huawei, because that is my everyday phone.

I have the same issue! And all the trouble is caused by the phone!
P40 doesn't know to move to his mobile data when the connection is made so is not providing internet.
What about the internet connection of the phone? Android Auto connects via wifi and not via wifi hotspot of the phone. So how does the internet work? Usually the phone tries to use the internet connection of the wifi when it is connected to a wifi. In this case the headunit provides wifi but no internet. Will the internet connection work anyway? How?

My car multimedia device has no wireless AA. Only using cable I can run AA. I ordered this device to use it for wireless AA. I will let you know if it works when it will arrive (few days).

Whoops ! I finally manage to connect my Huawei P40 Pro wirelessly with Android Auto on my Skoda Kodiaq My 2021.
First the car multimedia has to support AA wireless, in my case , yes.
For almost 4 months i have used AA connecting the phone with the usb cable because a small error wich i didnt realise for all this time !
After initially connect the phone thru usb you can go ahead and do it wireless and when you get the message on the phone : this Skoda not have internet connection, you want to connect ? - Choose CANCEL , and thats is. On my case , choosing CONNECT was wrong and took all tis time to understand and to look for a fix !!! Practic you need to have phone wifi on but not connected to a car network.
I have to mention : my P40 pro have Google Services

Hi Ishy,
Not sure how you connected your Galaxy phone through Android Auto on BMW I drive . OEM do not support Android Auto function yet unless you have a IMI 1000 retrofitted. If that's the case, try uninstalling Android Auto on your Mi 11tpro and re install it again. This should solve the problem in most cases.

Im not sure what that means but I have a 2019 BMW 330e which comes with standard android auto and apples version of it whatever its called from factory.
I can connect my samsung to it and it connects via Bluetooth and wifi.
But my mi 11t pro connects via bluetooth but the wifi doesnt connect to it
I get a notification saying android auto-continue through vehicle.
And then it fails to connect.

I had same problem some time ago. You should install Android auto as system apk. There is a guide somewhere with termux to do that. I don't remember where I found it, but I'm my case that trick did the job

Im going to try and find it. Just tried to install android auto as an apk through some random apk website but that didnt work.
