Question Android Auto not working - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Anyone else not having any luck connecting to Android auto?
Vehicle is a 2020 Lotus Evora GT and my previous Huawei mate 20 Pro connects just fine. My S21 ultra on the other hand doesn't. Pretty annoying. Tried multiple cords no luck.

When i fist hook it up tiday with a usb cable it wouldnt work, but finally it came on. Then wireless worked for a while too . It seems to wok ok with the usb cable. but haven had alot of time to mess with it yet. I have a Kenwood head unit. My old Pixel 3z XL work like a champ....

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.

Android auto

Hello,
Maby not the first question.
Someone can tell me about Android auto and Mi A2 (Stock Pie)?
Not working on Opel Corsa 2016...
Thanks!
With stock pie, Android Auto is ok for me on Kia Rio. I don't test on Opel.
Anyone else???
For what its worth since this thread is a few months old I cannot get my Mi A2 to connect to my Android Auto head unit. It runs on the phone will auto start when it BT to the car but the head unit just doesn't see it. Have tried different usb cables, cleared the cache but have not done a full reset of the phone because too much effort. The phone is on Android 9 with the latest security updates. Waiting to see if Android 10 will fix it.
It seems it is a known issue with many reports on both the Android Auto forums as well as the Xiaomi forums. Haven't tested with another car or phone (got new car and new phone at pretty much the same time).
Although my connection has been working lately I did initially have issues.
I had some success getting my car (Suzuki Ignis) to recognise the phone by doing the following.
Plugging phone into car.
Clicking the USB options notification.
Changing it from charging to file transfer.
It would then flip back to charging automatically and the car would recognise the phone as an Android Auto device.

P30Pro and Android Auto

Hello,
i have a P30 Pro with the Firmware VOG-L29 9.1.0.178(C431E4R2P2) and a problem with Android Auto.
If i connect the P30Pro with my car, there is a connection error.
The USB Settings on the phone switch automaticly to only charging. If i switch to data transfer it changes automaticly to only charging.
On the last Firmware i have no problems with the connections to Android Auto.
Have anybody the same probleme or an idea?
Thank you
Lapidu
Sometimes, I have to select the data transfer setting two or three times before it will connect to the car. But it always works after 2 or 3 times. USB debugging might also make it work better.
I have no problems and never had. Also i never changed the connection mode, nor did i enable usb debugging. I'm using the original cable, though. Some cars/phones seem to have problems with cheap usb cables, my dad also noticed that but is fine after using the original one.
Was it working once? Did you registered the car in Android Auto or has is failed ever since? Is there a message on the phone?
Witch firmware do you have? And what for a model?
Worked on every firmware since beginning (185 atm). 128 GB Version
I have similar issue, the connection "dies" everytime I connect it to the car for the first time after being parked. Takes about 1-2 minutes, then it disconnects. I haven't investigated what the phone does, but my quickfix is usually to plug the cable in/out. After that, the connection is stable. The issue started around .162 or .165
Hi all. I have this problem as well. Just bought a carplay, but my P30 Pro (Android 10) wouldn't connect at all. I tried with different cables, including original one, still no luck. WIth any other cable it works fine from a Samsung Note 10+. Any idea?
I have the same issue with my P30 pro and civicX
After emui 10 I just can't use android auto in the car.
I have the app on my phone, and it works on the phone. But when I connect to the car it wont work.
(all the Samsungs and apple that I have home work perfectly)
I'm using emui 10 and android auto.
I have the same problem as all people here.
After usb plug, only charge (that's not important) . Some times connects at first time and some other i have to select other usb connection mode (i discovered unplug cable is not necessary)
Will try to change usb cable with the original one
Hello there! I'm trying to connect my P30 Pro with Android Auto on a Seat Leon. I always receive an error message and the connection with android auto always fails. I tried to enable Usb Debug, to install old versions of AA on my phone (for example v. 5.3 and v. 5.4). I'm using the originale data cable (actually two of them since I have two P30 pro at home). AA worked well with my old Samsung Note 8 and Mate 10 Pro. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you!
you guys need better cables, use the factory Huawei one and you'll have no issues.
I'm using two original cables (I have two P30 Pro at home). It isn't a cable problem but probably an issue with Android 10 and Android Auto. This problem affects different recent models of Huawei (P30 pro, mate 20 pro..).
Hello there! Just an update, AA doesn't work only with the Seat Leon. I tried other cars and everything is ok. I will try to update Full Link Seat.. It should solve the issue. Byee

same here, my Xiaomi Mi 10T 5G device works fine with Android Auto, pretty strange.
No problem so far with 3 hyundai vehicles
I faced similar issues and by changing 4th cable I got it working . Never faced any issue with my NOTE 20 ultra earlier .
I installed a Kenwood Unit in my car that has Wireless and USB connections for Android Auto. Both are working fine with my S21 Ultra. No Issues so far....

what's the make and model of the cable you used that works?
My 2 cents. This May not be relevent to your issue ,but I also was having problems
I have the samsung leather case.
Opening is too small to properly seat USB C cable( the plug shoulders make contact with case) I removed case and seated USB cable and it worked.
I again say this may not apply.

P30 PRO not working Android Auto - Wired

Hello,
I have a Huawei P30 Pro sw EMUI 12.0.0.134(C461E1R1P2) VLOG-L29 and I cannot connect to Android Auto (Mercedes Benz). the problem must be an incompatibility of P30 PRO since the AA works fine with other Phones.
I've reset Mem&cache of AA App, updated the AA SW version and the other Apps. Also testing developer AA menu optons.
I have come to connect sometimes with difficulty to AA car but I am not able to find a pattern so that it works well continuously. When I try to connect again it doesn't work.
My AA version is 8.3.624134.
I am surprised that there is no posts about it since I imagine that Huawei phones will have many compatibility problems with AA.
Anybody can help me?
BR

Works fine with Dacia AA(wired). Don't have a MB to test...same version AA
Did it work with EMUI 11?
Now I can connect. I've done three actions:
1. Buy a new official cable.
2. Update all the Apps. It's important that Google assistant works well.
3. In developers menu, tick on developer mode.
Now AA works fine but sometimes it disconnects. Maybe I have to revise battery savings App conf., or the screen must be ON all the time. I don't know ..
I've used P30 pro for both wired and wireless AA without any problem for more than year. So .
- You dont need official Huawei USB cable, any decent cable will do. I believe that was your problem, bad cable
- Updating all apps is in general good thing to do, but it doesn't influence connection with AA at all
- Forget developers mode, please . No need to think about it, and you actually may harm your phone by playing with it. It doesn't have any influence on AA
Enjoy AA in your vehicle

I completely agree with your appreciations. I’ve forgotten using developers mode and it seems to work. I bought a high quality cable and I cleaned the USB-C connector.
Currently I only have a problem: disconnections every few minutes (variable from 2-10 minutes). I am testing some things: AA permissions, non Battery savings, always on of the screen … but I can't find a pattern. Any idea what can be the problem? Does it happened the same to you with your P30 PRO wired to AA?

I've switched to S22U last two months, so i cant share fresh experiences, but i can say that i haven't had any disconnection issues while P30p was not moving while connected to car.
But, when i moved phone for any reason, it would lost connection occasionaly. I've concluded that was caused by weak connection, and haven't investigated it further.
well, In my case it seems to be a cabling problem. I bought 2 high-quality cables, 1-meter long and 2-meter long. I had tested the shorter one. This morning I tested the longest one and my P30 isn't able to connect AA.
I'll buy a shorter cable (0,3 or 0,5m) in order to test again..
