Hi folks,
I'm using a Huawei P20 Pro with Android 9.1 from factory and have a VW Arteon with AA on the car head-unit. All worked fine until a few weeks ago - when I connect, everything works fine for about 10 mins and then freezes. If I choose waze, it freezes after a few minutes so I'd try and choose Google Maps. I press the icon then wait about 10 seconds before it switches to Google Maps.
Same with Spotify - If I choose Spotify, it takes about 10 seconds for spotify to open and another 10 seconds to skip tracks etc.
As I said before, it's fine for the first 10 mins but goes slow after a while!
If I try and use assistant to send a text etc, it times out after a few seconds.
When I unplug the phone from the car, it it unresponsive as well for a few seconds and then goes back to normal.
I've un-installed AA and re-s installed it but have the same issue.
Huawei just sent a new OTA update with the October security patch and I still have the same issues
Can anyone help me? It's driving me crazy!
Thanks!

Hello,
there is this strange issue I am facing at the moment:
When I boot up my phone, there is internet, I can browse via Chrome, I can fetch mails and everything.
But after 10 seconds, 99% of my connectivity is gone. Chrome says, "Oh no! there is a problem with the website" I am trying to visit (every website). Tugabrowser force-closes then, Aqua-Mail tells me the SSL-Certificate is invalid, Youtube just closes without any error. I can search for apps in the PlayStore and see results, but cannot download anything.
It doesn't matter if I try it using the LTE-connection of my phone or using WiFi.
When I reboot the phone, it works completely for the first 10 seconds and then I get the same problems.
To complete the strangeness: WhatsApp and Spotify work every time (I mean even after those 10 seconds, when everything else stopped working).
Help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
Hecke
I've had this happen in numerous GM Vehicles from 2016-2018 Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC units with AA.
While using Waze or Maps I can run fin 90 percent of the time
While using the above and a music source like I heart or Stitcher I get frequent crashes. My phone will reboot. But when it reboots, I dont have bluetooth connectivity. I have to unplug the phone, Reboot a second time and pluf it back in.
This is annoying and hope there is a solution
Im running the latest versions of Apps on my Galaxy S8 with a Samsung Data cable that came with my phone.
I was recently using an oppo r7sf with lineageos installed and had similar problems. Spontaneous Communications error 12 but no reboot. AA would crash on the head unit and I'd have to reboot in order to get it working properly. Tried many many things but in the end got a new phone and havent had an issue since.
I'm not sure if this has to do with recent updates to Android Auto or if it's specific to the make and model of my device (I got the new phone around the same time as the latest AA updates were released), but I'm now experiencing endless frustrations with constant connection failures between my phone and my Jeep's Uconnect 8.4 head unit again. I went through a similar thing, as did many others, around this time last year and the year before. It's infuriating.
Most of the time, when I plug my phone into the vehicle's USB port, the Android auto icon appears on the display of the head unit for a moment or two and then disappears. There's a notification in the shade on my phone that says something like "Connecting to Android Auto" or "Starting Android Auto." But then it never really starts.
Occasionally I try clearing the data, storage and cache from the Android Auto app and sometimes Google Play Services. Sometimes I'll also have to go into the Uconnect settings menu and tell my head unit to "Forget device." Every so often, as long as I then turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle and then reboot my phone, this will bring me back to the Android auto setup screen and I'll be able to use Android auto for a single drive cycle. as soon as I cut the engine and unplug my phone, it's over. When I get back into the vehicle I'm back where I started: with the head unit seemingly able to recognize that an Android Auto device is connected for a moment and then Android Auto just quits out.
It's insane. Seems like Google can't just get this right. As soon as they release a build that works, they follow up with an update that completely breaks functionality.
Anyone else have a similar experience and, hopefully, have suggestions and how to resolve this nonsense?
Used my iPhone with my 2018 Challenger for a year and it worked perfectly. Switched to a Note 20 Ultra last month and it worked for about 2 weeks. Same issue you're experiencing. I'm going back to iPhone.
Hello everyone.
I was using UleFone Power 3 (Android 7.1.1) with my RCD330+ without any problems (on VW Golf Mk6 2011 year).
However, phone became old and started developing issues, so I was forced to buy new one.
A few weeks ago I purchased Realme GT Master Edition which runs Android 11.
However, now I am having problems since day one with the phone and RCD330+.
When using Waze, the display on RCD completely freezes for 30-40 seconds every 3-5 minutes. You can pass a few intersections with Waze still showing you frozen far behind. Everything is frozen - map, speed display, etc.
After ~30-40 seconds, it unfreezes and is displayed all fine again for next 3-5 minutes where it freezes again and all repeats.
Could anyone please help me toubleshoot where the problem is?
Only the phone has changed, no configuration changes were done in RCD330+, USB cable also remained the same.
RCD330+ firmware version 5614
Android Auto version 7.6.621703-release
Waze release 4.82.5.1
Another question - what's the best tool to use to switch off Bluetooth after device is being disconnected from USB?
Thank you
I'm having the same problem and I managed to reduce a little bit the freezing. And don't know if it'd work for you.
Enable developers options and go almost to the bottom, under applications there's an option called "Limite de procesos en segundo plano" which might be something like "Limit backgroud processes" and set it to MAX 4 instead of Standard.
It helped quite a bit. Please let me know if you find something else.
Hello everyone,
DEVICE
Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro / Redmi K20 Pro
Custom ROM : Pixel Experience Android 13 ("PixelExperience_raphael-13.0-20221120-1632-OFFICIAL.zip")
Used Apps : Youtube / Youtube Music (I also tried with other media sources on internet) & Maps / Waze
ISSUE
Launching Waze or clicking "Start" the route in Google Maps while playing
a media makes my phone freeze for 1s every 2 to 3s.
This makes listening to music impossible while following the GPS.
(The sound also freezes with the screen)
EXPECTED RESULT
Smartphone not freezing / non-"stuttering" sound.
HOW TO REPLICATE THE BUG
Open Youtube Music and start playing music.
Open Waze (Instantly freezing the sound at regular intervals) or Google Maps, plan a route, then press "Start".
I don't think I've ever needed to play music while opening a Maps or Waze route before so i don't think it is due to an update (I was on PixelExperience 12 the first time I encountered the bug)
Since this summer, I need it regularly, and it is impossible to use both applications simultaneously without the music cutting out at regular intervals which is very annoying.
The problem still occurs even after closing / force closing the 3 applications.
The only way i found to get my music back is to reboot my phone. With this I can use both for a few minutes before the problem comes back.
I hope someone will understand my problem and will be able to help me.
EDIT March 25, 2023 : I have found that the problem does not occur with Mappy, but I still don't know why...
EDIT April 13, 2023 : After a clean flash of the new Pixel Experience Plus version "PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-13.0-20230405-0231-OFFICIAL.zip" from April 5, 2023, everything is back to normal...
I can use Waze again now !
Thanks.
