Searching for GPS only with AA - Android Auto General

I have seen this issue when searching the interwebs, but only solution I keep seeing is adjusting battery optimization, which has not worked for me.
I have a stock Note 8, that at random when plugged into Android Auto, I get searching for GPS. Maps does not work nor Waze.
They both work fine without Android Auto.
Figured I would check here to see if anyone is aware of this issue and knows of another solution?

Here you'll find a list of known issues on actual version of AA: https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2475001?hl=en&msgid=2475001

Facebook and GPS issues

I apologize if this is a repost. I've done extensive searching on this and found only limited results.
My girlfriend has a Droid 1. We had her first Droid replaced due to a bad proximity sensor.
The replacement worked fine for about a month or so. Now she is having issues.
First, the Facebook app won't load at all. Additionally, we tried loading it on the browser and that didn't work. That makes me think that it's a Facebook issue not a Droid issue. Is anyone else having this problem?
Second, the GPS doesn't work at all now. It can't find her location. It just keeps searching. I've read a few posts where an app may interfere with the GPS. Has anyone had this experience? Also, I've heard of the app GPS Test and the fact that it can potentially fix the problem. Could this be true?
I am willing to try anything to make her happy considering I have to deal with the complaints.
Her phone is all stock 2.2. I haven't rooted it or customized it in any way.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: Now I can't access my facebook. I have a Droid also.

Fickle Wifi

Hello all, I have my nexus 6 on my homes WiFi and from time to time while loading content I'll see that there is no data coming in or out(status bar let's me know), yet I'm still connected to the WiFi and other devices are able to load things at the same time. And then at other times it will disconnect from the network, fiddle with LTE for about 10 seconds and then reconnect, it makes all my apps believe I'm offline until it reconnects like 30 seconds later. Anything you can think of thats messing with me?
Have you posted in the Pure Nexus or Elemental thread to see if anyone is experiencing something similar? You might consider flashing back to stock to see if it's hardware.

Some have luck freezing Google Connectivity Service. Read the reviews here.

Switching to legacy wifi in Developer Opions, Networking helps some.
I get drops from my bluetooth to my watch and then wifi drops. It comes back in a few seconds, but frustrating. I've seen more reports of the N6, but all Nexii seem affected. Search the N6 forum to see the reports, there are plenty, instead of posting the same questions again, it is not a large number of us, but it is constant irritation to those of us who have it.

Are you referring to "Use legacy DHCP client" in Developer options? That's the only option I see that looks like it might be legacy WiFi. I've been having lots of Bluetooth dropouts on both my headset and Android Wear watch.
Also, what would I lose if I freeze Google Connectivity Service?

Yes, legacy DHCP client.
On freezing Google Connectivity Services, all I know is what is in the play store link, or if you Google it, there are plenty of hits on this Bt and Wifi drop issue with Nexus. I see no real changes with freezing it and changing the legacy DHCP. Since BT and Wifi are controlled by kernel modules, I've tried all kinds of kernels, and nothing seems to help much.
I'm running Pure Nexus ROM (July) and ElementalX kernel (August). I've tried stock Nexus ROM and kernel and all kinds of ROM/kernel combos.
From what I see, it is a Nexus problem with some devices.
I turned off Wifi in my Huawei watch and turned off cloud sync in the Android Wear app, and they has helped with watch BT dropouts.
this sucks, im suffering from the same issue, thought this was my router problem,changed it, didnot work , now i know it was google services, any solution? freezing the connectivity services didnt help
Have y'all tried different radios? flashable radios thread

Radios are only for cellular data.
Bluetooth and Wifi are controlled by the kernel modules, so radios have no effect on bluetooth or wifi.

Thanks again! I just turned off cloud sync too, so hopefully these changes will help.
I am having the same issue with Wifi, the only thing that helped was upgrading to Android N beta. That solved my connection problems but since I can't use exposed I went back to 6.0.

Did you mange to establish a successful connection with Android Auto?

Hi folks,
I've been struggling for almost two weeks to got OP3T work with Android Auto. I know it's not only me who is having such issue. The connection itself may be established be it randlomy disconnects after few minutes or even seconds.
Do you have any clue what is going on?
There is a ticket open on OP forums, people are having exactly the same issue.

Do you know any workarounds? I can't live without Android Auto anymore

It is an interface in your car. It lets you mirror android to the built in mulitmedia system in a vehicle. There are only main features like dialer, maps, spotify. Works great if you travel a lot and the voice commands helps. Totally hands free.
You gotta have a car which supports Android Auto obviuosly.
I drive Opel Astra MY2017.

I had to download an apk, since AA is not yet officialy released where I live.
Android auto works flawless for me now that I have a Oneplus 3t. It Never worked when I had the LG V10. You may want to see if it's a problem with the headunit itself and bring it to the dealer.
I have a 2017 Ford Fusion.
I never had any problems on LG G4 and same vehicle. Once switched to OP3T start having difficulties. It's not only me.
Doesn't work with OOS.
I tried, and tried to get my op3t to work with android auto, but everything I tried failed. I recently started rooting, and was able to use android auto with LineageOS, and RR roms. Turns out these
two are based on ASOP, not OOS.
So far Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 has been the most stable, and have had zero issues with Android Auto.
I don't know why OOS doesn't handle this well (at least for me), but I hope they fix it. I really like OOS, except for that one bug which is a big one for me.
Have the issue..Have not found a work around.
On any OOS build i got it to work but it will freeze when phone gets hot... When I use any other rom it works flawlessly... Right now I'm on Phoenix AOSP extended and works great..

No issue here. I'm using cheap 3rd party USB and on a Kenwood unit.

Well this is disappointing. Android Auto is one of the main features I'm looking for in my next car which I plan to get this year...
Works without a problem on my Nexus 6p and now on my 3t Car is a Civic 2016

Recently purchased a 3T and having the same issue with OOS 4.1.3. My (soon to be sold unless I go refund my 3T) Nexus 6p never had an issue with AA w/ 2016 Golf GTI.
After reading the official forum's support thread (linked in OP), I updated to the recent Open 5 Beta and gave the "change to MIDI" for USB options a shot and it works for a period of time ~10-15 min but then the OS switches back to USB charging. I have to do the same procedure again to get another short successful duration out of AA. I have roughly a dozen different branded Type C cables and only 2/10 of them work with this method (the official Dash cable being one of them).
I'm going to give RR / Lineage a go and see if they can produce steady AA connections. Since I'm also still playing Pokemon Go I can't root / will have to try the Magisk route. I currently can't seem to get my Pokemon Go Plus to Bluetooth sync with the Go app on either 4.1.3 or Open 5.

Note 9 GPS problems after updating to One UI

Hello guys,
After updating my note 9 to the One UI I encounter some really annoying problems with my GPS.
I can't really use Waze or Gmaps because the location is not working properly. The GPS keeps losing signal all the time, city or highway.
I downloaded GPS test and it seems like the phone can't lock the signal properly, even when it succeeded, the accuracy is really bad, around 32 - 64 meter, and sometimes more.
I tried to look for other cases on the internet but I couldn't find anything.
Is anyone encounter this problem? Can offer a solution that might solve it?
Thanks.
Obviously thinking that not having problems before with Oreo excludes hardware issues, try first of all to make a wipe cache in recovery mode to see if resolves and if not, try wipe data in settings - applications of every single app involved and if all done is worthless, try even to reinstall the single app. If not resolving I think that a factory reset, always from recovery, is needed because don't know others, me included, having this issue .
I'm using a Note FE and I recently updated my device to Pie with One UI and my GPS problem is exactly like yours. I need help too. Can't seem to find any solution.

I had that issue with my note 9 sprint version when i flashed tmobile u1 android pie, i ended doing a factory reset and everything worked fine after that. My google maps would lose signal when i put phone into standby it would say lost gps signal or something like that. But if i used the app it would work fine.

Anyone got problem with GPS for a tencent version with global rom?

My rog phone 2 tencent version with a global rom and fingerprint. Apparently the GPS is not working at all. Google maps and other apps not detecting any location at all.
Anyone got the same problem or solution?
thanks in advance
Works fine for me, not sure what would cause that. Do you have "Use location" on in privacy settings?

Yep. Checked all options about gps. Actually after waiting so long, the gps worked but really slow to lock the location.

No problems here and it locks on quickly - even indoors. Around 50 satellites in view and 20 in use according to GPS Test.

Thx for info pal, hope it will get better after another firmware update here ?
Have the same problem
I noticed also a problem with GPS locking, the problem persist also with the Android 10 beta rom i uodated like 2 weeks ago. Interresting fact is, i only get this when using Waze, either on the phone or through Android Auto, with Google Maps for example i working flawlessly. The only fix i got is installing an app called GPS Lock, which apparently forces the phone to lock on the satellites, but it's quite a battery consumer though. Hope also for a fix in future updates.
I happen to encounter this a lot especially when I travel. Download and install the app ''GPS Status & Toolbox" then turn off Wi-Fi. Once your Wi-Fi is turned off, open the app and that should fix it.
I had the same issue. Can see gps satellite but can't lock onto them. It was my metal bumper casing. Wasted my whole day testing things out.
Anyone figured out a solution to this ?
I'm having this issue as well. I'm using the global version btw. Hope someone posts a solution for this.
