Android Auto Waze problem since Pie - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
This week end I updated my P20 pro to Pie. Since then Waze in android Auto doesn't work. When I input any routes it always get stuck on: "Proceed to highlighted route". Google maps works fine but I prefer Waze.
Waze on the phone itself works flawlessly. Only appends on Android Auto. It was working fine before. I also had this problem with my old phone: "ZTE Axon 7".
My car is a Honda Civic SI 2017 if it matters.
Anything I can try to fix this?
Thx

Turn off automatic power management for AndroidAuto, Waze (and anything else you want not to be stopped constantly) Settings -> Battery -> App launch.
Also, go over the app (AndroidAuto, Waze) permissions and make sure everything is in place Settings -> Apps -> Apps.
P.S. If it doesn't help you can try clearing the phones cache or reinstalling the apps.

Thx for your suggestion.
I turned off the automatic power management.
The permission seems to be ok. Android auto has permission to everything and waze to "location".
I will try it after work if it makes any difference. If it still doen't work i'll try to reinstall. But I did that in the past with the Axon 7 to no avail.
thx

Android Auto on Android Q

Installed custom Android Q ROM and Android Auto stopped working. Looking around learned Android 10 muggles around Assistant Driving mode and some promised AA for Phone Screen etc but common ground is no solution for running AA on Q I found.
Digging more, found out working solution:
1. Grab latest apks of AA, Play Services and Google apps (apkmirror or so). Pay attention to look for latest version designated specifically for Android 10 if there are such!!! (otherwise get whatever is latest)
2. Install in following order: Play Services, Google and AA latest.
3. Move AA to system apps. Use Titanium or manually
http://www.friendfactor.org/install-user-apps-as-system-apps-on-android/
4. Reboot to recovery, clear cache & davlink.
5. Reboot to system
AA is installed but not visible in launcher. Check it is installed by going to settings - apps and look for it. On bottom of its details, there is option for more settings in application - there you can get int AA settings and activate Dev mode and other options.
So, AA is there but you cannot launch it as normal app.
YET...
After plugging phone to car, AA started automatically and now works flawlessly.
BTW in Dev options now is possible to activate option I'm main settings to use WiFi connection. Tried and working with my Audi
Tested also CarStream 2.0.4 and it works
I've tried it multiple times, with reinstall and reconfiguration both the smartphone and the car. It works for some time and is back to the same behaviour after that.
Was it rock stable for you?

Yes it is stable for me. Today I also updated with latest Open gapps and it works Ok. I use it for a half an hour commute to work.

Can't launch Android Auto app

I have problem with Android Auto on Anroid 10. It looks like AA is preinstalled because in the Settings>Apps & Notifications I can deactivate the application or uninstall updates. However, I don't see the icon in the installed applications. I found that solution should be to turn on Autolaunch option in Additional Settings in the App, but I don't have that option there. Is it possible that this is due to the fact that AA is not officially supported in the Czech Republic? Any idea how to solve it?

Here is your answer... I wanted to install the app "android auto for phone screens" like suggested in the support article but got the message" not available in your country"
Funny thing is that on my pixel 3a android 10, its working just fine here in Greece, i just have the system language set to english so that the assistant works....
Edit: here is the apk Android auto for phone screens
Android auto for phone screens solved it! Thanks

No Keyboard on Android Auto - P40 Pro

Hi Guys,
Since I bought P40 Pro, keyboard not appearing when I want to search something on Waze or Google Maps.
Not working even when in Park.
I installed GMS since out of the box.
Tried clearing cache and data on SwiftKey and AA, installed Gboard, gave all permissions.
Nothing works.
Same happened on P30 Pro (10.1).
Plugged in a friend's P30 and keyboard works..
Also tried with a Samsung S10..working.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I got exactly the same issue at the first connection Waze didn't show up keyboard at all, Google maps have shown it once but at the second connection keyboard was gone as well for GMaps. Tried SwiftKey and Gboard
Currently running AA 5.6.6034
Android version (compile) 10.1.0.147
What I have found strange as well driving yesterday with Waze - when it switched to the night mode (dark theme) reporting lines (to be precise descriptions what is written on the button) were not visible. I could see the divider lines but not the button descriptions :/
I did not get those errors.
Just the keyboard not appearing.
I tried resetting apps settings,but still not working.
I found somewere that Android Auto is not letting you use keyboard,but on other phones i am connecting with..no issues.
So it is something that has to do with the phone settings,or because the Google Services are sideloaded....
I do not know what to do.
It is hard to use only voice...
As a workaround I type in the address before connecting the phone to the car and then use history. In Poland voice recognition isn't working too good yet :/
I am doing it,but sometimes need to go to a new address.
So i disconnect, enter destination and reconnect.
Google style, to complicate and destroy all the usefulness.
Here also the voice commands are not so good.(Romania)

Rooted Android 9, what is your working setup?

Guys, I've a rooted Moto Z2 force, I'm plannig to use it as an android auto device only. AA is not available in the play store, but I can sidelode any version (I've downloaded the 7.2.62).
I'm tried a couple of tools, AA Tweaker, AA installer, etc, but so far only the cartube application is showing in the car screen (but e.g. fermata auto is not)
I'm planning to use the some official AA applications
- spotify, gmaps, waze, abetterrouteplanner
and would like to have
-youtube, netflix and maybe carscanner on the car screen (in motion as well for the passengers)
Please share you working setup, which tools and which versions (including android auto) are you using with android 9 - or point me to a thread where it is already discussed
Hi.
I have a non root samsung note 9(android 9) with wireless AA set up to aftermarket smart module connected to OEM headunit in my peugeot. Uninstalled AA. Installed screen2auto with AA Ease. Downloaded and installed AA 6.6xxxx version. Activated developer options and selected download from unknown sources. Playstore forced update on my phone to latest version 7.1xxxx but kept original settings and third party apps. Enabled wireless projections on settings and this works quite well provided bluetooth pairing. So can use voice control to for maps, music apps and receive and send messages.

Thank you very much, the android version was the problem I've installed AA version 6.9.613744 (instead of the latest 7.*) and everything started working instantly.
Sorry to bring this topic up again, the solution works for me for a few days, than AA is not showing the extra apps anymore. If I uninstall and install android auto again, it works again for a few days. I have no idea why, is there a blacklist AA downloads?

My samsung note 9 is non root. I installed as described above and still have apps on galaxy note 8(android 9) and note 9 ( recently updated to android 10). You can try clearing cache of AA. But you should read through screen2auto rooted thread as you will probably find solution and/or somebody will offer good solution.

Yes, Google blocked again all 3rd party apps with Android Auto 7.1.
With 7.1 I have the 3rd party apps for about 2 minutes. If I don't start Android Auto in this time, I have to clear data and cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and do all the setup again. That means I have to do this before every car ride.

Android Auto updated to 7.8.622514-release --> "Google" app now available on Android Auto

Hello,
Today I was unfortunately forced to update Android Auto to 7.8.622514-release. My Android Auto was running really stable with 7.5 (and I had really bad experience with 7.1 and 7.3 --> therefore I'm absolutely no fan of this forced updates).
I checked the functionality with a second phone with the app "Headunit Reloaded".
I noticed that I have a now the "Google" app available in Android Auto.
But it seems to me that the app has no function at all. I just have the message "no new messages during your drive".
Moreover it also does not appear in the launcher settings on my phone. Therefore I can't even deactivate the Google app.
Does anyone else have this? Does anyone know what kind of function the app should have?
I really do not think that I need this app. I prefer to have a clean Android Auto. Is there any other way to deactivate this app from Android Auto?
Thanks a lot.
Update: I also noticed that the Google Assistant shortcuts vanished and can't get brought back...Where are my Google Assistant shortcuts now?
Update 2: now after using Android Auto today for some drives in my car, everything is normal again. The Google app was gone after the 2nd drive and I could add my Assistant shortcuts again after the 3rd drive. I'm really curious why this happened...
I just hate these forced updates.
