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
I updated my Samsung S21 Ultra (G998B) to Android 12 a couple of days ago. After that the default navigation app is set to Google Maps. I tried to figure out how to reset that to Waze but it can not be changed.
Before Android 12 is was just a matter of setting all apps to "not default" and a pop up appeared to ask you what you wanted to use.
But now it seems that you have to fnd the app in Apps and select the option "set as default". You can also choose the links that have to open the app. But when I want to set my default navigation app to Waze things go wrong. For some reason the links do not stay selected and are deselected as soon as I close the window. So there is no way to set the app as default. I already removed Maps but that doesnt help.
I already contacted Waze Support but the only replies I get from them is a simple answer on how to set default apps in Android 11. It seems they do not read questions.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
I'm using this
Thanks for the reply. Nice app!
But it doesn't work when you want something through a browser. At that point is still goes back to Google Maps, either the app itself or Maps on the internet.
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.
Dear all,
My problem with AA is the following:
Google Assistant (currently used in AA) does not work with many languages (most of the small languages are excluded) which is a big problem when pronouncing an address in Google Maps using that language.
In the past AA used the "Speech to text" module, which supports most "small" languages and works flawlessly (eg when pronouncing an address in Google Maps directly on a mobile phone).
Is there a way, patch or similar, to allow AA to use the "speech to text" module again, instead of Google assistant?
Thanks in advance
I have exactly the same problem. Wrote to Waze. I am considering getting an Iphone for Android auto...
Only with tricks. I made it work with Tasker script. But is a big script which does many other things, and if i remember well it needs root. The basic idea which I use Is this if anyone want to re create it:
- Detect if android auto is running.
-If android auto is running, change keyboard to Google voice (so now speak to every app instead of writing).
When you use any app in android auto, for example waze, just pressing the icon to open keyboard to mobile to write there, which is happening but now in phone what is actually open is Google voice (as this is now the "keyboard" so you just speak as you done at past. . It works the same.
- when you exit android auto, tasker detect it and put back the keyboard you was using..
The script to change keyboard need root as i remember. There was other most complicated ways which didn't need root. I don't know if still work. Most I tried wasn't..
You can make it more complicated. For example, using Google voice only to specific applications, and not all, if you also need this. I may create a YouTube video for this and post it here if i have time.
Problem solved with AA Speech 2 Text app.
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.
