Themes / Apps / Mods VW Car-Net app - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Are there any other users experiencing (solved?) issues with the Volkswagen remote access app? This app had been working well up until march of this year. Then the app just started throwing an error stating "unable to log in at this time" when I attempt to log in, but before I even enter any data.
I have tried all the usual steps including factory reset of my S21-Ultra to no avail. VW tech support has not responded to my requests for assistance. I had given up hope. Then, during July I had to switch handsets for a short time. On a moto stylus 5G, the app worked correctly with my existing account data. When switching back to my S21 I have the same error message.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For the record - issue solved by pure focus, commitment, and sheer f*cking will.
It seems the car net app REQUIRES chrome to perform the initial connection setup. It does not utilize the default internet application. I prefer the samsung internet beta and promptly disable chrome after resetting to avoid downloading any updates for it. While I was on the temporary phone (knowing it was temporary) i did not go through my usual customizing / disabling. Once set up I check the "keep me logged in" option and I can disable chrome again.

Wow, talk about browser monopoly. Really dumb implementation, thanks sharing the cure

Remote Wipe in Froyo?

So far, I have not managed to remote wipe my Froyo Nexus One from Exchange. It just didn't work.
I'm wondering if this hasn't been implemented yet in the version I downloaded (the one that was publicized up last weekend) or if there's something I'm missing.
Has anyone every done this successfully?
Maybe when the finalized Froyo build is out. I would try it myself but what if it works
I'm stil unable to do this using FRF83. Has anyone else tried and had it successfully work?
Exchange sends the remote wipe command but the phone just doesn't acknowledge it.
I'm hoping Google isn't trying to quietly not include full ActiveSync capability into Froyo... it seems awfully late not to have features baked into incremental test builds after the source has been released.
You don't have the final release yet, chillax and wait for, then you can complain to your hearts desire about what isn't included.
I'm on FRF85B. Still doesn't work.
The admnistration settings are correctly configured I assume?(both server side and phone side)
I have the device setup connecting to my Exchange server. I can get mail fine. It updates my calendar fine.
Within Exchange, the device is setup and seen.
But when a Remote Wipe is initiated, nothing happens. I can see the request being sent, but the phone never acknowledges it. I get the standard security error the next time I try to sync and I can't send or receive any new mail, but I still have access to all mail that has already been pushed to me.
Even though our policy says that a PIN is required, I've never been prompted for a PIN. (Although, I do have a security pattern setup, so I dunno how that affects anything.)
Inside the device's Location & Security settings, there is an option for Select Device Administrators, but it doesn't do anything.
I don't know of any other configuration or administration options.
You may have to do a factory reset and implement the administrator from first boot.
You probably can't gain admin access to a device after the device is set up. That'd be a huge sercurity flaw.
Here's what the option looks like, under Location & Security Settings:
Device Administration
Select device administrators
Add or remove device administrators
It doesn't sound like I'd have to wipe in order to add.
ive tried a remote wipe too, but it didnt work :/
Probaby time to get in touch with Google Support.
I posted a bug report and heard back from someone at Google, saying that my issue only exists if Exchange is allowing unprovisioned devices.
So I turned that off. Now I'm getting "This Exchange Activesync Server requires security features your phone does not support."
At least it's a different message.
Now the word I'm getting from Google is:
(via http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9426)
"That's probably the "correct" response, as we only support the basic (EAS 2.5) features in Froyo. So if your server requires, for example, password history or expiration, or complex characters, then it won't be provisionable in Froyo. Our goal is to provide more policy support in future versions, but for now we support - password (PIN/alpha), minimum characters, max. fails to wipe, inactivity timeout, and remote wipe."
So there you have... still no full ActiveSync support in Froyo.
Success!
The password recovery policy is what was causing the holdup.
I had to create a custom policy for Android devices that didn't include this and everything worked as designed.
The next time I attempted to sync I had to confirm the Email app as functioning with a Device Administrator (which explains the odd Location & Security/Select Device Administrators button that nobody really knew what it did.). After allowing that, a PIN was enforced and a remote wipe was successful.
The only concern was that I was able to go in and remove Email as functioning with a Device Administrator. This prevented me from sending or receiving any new mail, but any already-synchronized email remained visible and readable.

Xperia Z3C Live on YouTube Unable To Sign In

Hi there. Been using the Z3C all week and really enjoying it, but I've found one persistent problem with one of the built-in apps and am hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction for getting a fix.
I'm unable to get the Live On YouTube camera app (v 01.00.21) to sign in to my Google account. Firing up the app, I get the page requiring me to read and accept the terms and conditions of use. Fine, accepted. I then get the popup outlining the permissions - no problem, accepted. After this message disappears, I get a few seconds of the "loading" animation and then a popup tells me "Your YouTube account does not have the necessary permissions to create a live stream. Want to change your permissions now? ||No|Yes||".
When the error first occurred it was right enough - logging into YouTube on desktop I was able to establish that I didn't have live streaming enabled but despite now having enabled it, the camera app still returns the error saying my account doesn't have the necessary permissions. If I hit "Yes" it loads a YouTube URL and now when I land on the site there's a popup saying "You are already enabled for this feature".
I've tried wiping all the Live On YouTube application data via settings, I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, but I keep getting hit with this error.
Can anyone suggest anything else I might want to try to get this feature working? Or does anyone have a suggestion of a better place to ask the question if it doesn't belong in this forum?
I can get mine working or at least set up ok, however, upon trying to run the option I just get a 'Creating Live Event' dialogue that stays on forever.
Its rather annoying I can do a share to my social media network of choice, so people can get to the right web page to see my live event, I just can't seem to get the phone to actually start streaming, despite setting up youtube ok. Has anyone yet managed to do a youtube live broadcast from their phone, and if so, can they detail what they did please.
I had this issue too. It was because I had 2 youtube profiles on my google account, so I enabled Live permissions on both profiles, and it worked.

We have a winner!
I was using YT under my original username, not realising that this meant my G+ identity had a whole separate profile on YT. Switched over to the "real name" profile and found live streaming wasn't enabled there. Enabled it and Robert is now my father's brother.
Fixed! Thanks very much.
How about the 'Creating Live Event' dialogue that stays on forever. Do you have that or does your stream ok.

Hi techguyone, the first time I tried it I got your message for a few seconds before it came back with an error message saying "unable to create live event". When I retried I got your message again for another few seconds before it appeared to work. I'm still waiting on the processing, but both the "failed" event and the longer test are now visible in my uploads, even if I can only currently view the (very short) failed one.
It looks like it's going to work for me.
Have you tried the old clearing-out-the-app-data-via-settings trick already?
Mine worked eventually, but its still kinda clunky, interestingly enough I found the other live app (Facebook one) to work straight away, and was a lot easier. I think I'll be using Facebook over Youtube in the future for any impromptu streaming.
This worked for me...
What I did is that I clicked on the avatar in the upper left corner of the screen,and scrolled down and signed out,and the signed in again with one of my two existing youtube accounts,and accepted all the terms and everything again from the beggining....Then I pressed the record button, it took a while to create an event,but it actually started the live streaming!!!!! :

Help! Note5 is no longer recognizing my fingerprint

So, this sounds simple; but I guarantee you it is not.
I just got my Note5 about 2 weeks ago; and despite some missing key features, I really like it. Until today.
Carrier: Sprint (who apparently doesn't have 24/7 customer service)
My fingers were a little dirty (which they have been before) and my scanner wouldn't unlock the phone. Cleaned them and now it's already locked and seems to not really check the prints anymore?
First attempted fix: backup password, I know I set it up...but it doesn't work. None of the passwords I might use will work.
Second attempted fix: Google signin, I have a free google apps account and apparently using my whole email address as username doesn't work on this; also tried just using the plain username just in case. I know the password is correct. I'm the domain administrator.
Third attempted fix: Android device manager, tried setting a new password on the lock screen and was greeted by the infuriating message "Since google has verified that your screen is already locked, the password you set won't be needed"
Fourth attempted fix: chat with samsung support, which was utterly useless. Although I did find out that samsung has their own unlock utility...except that it has to be setup beforehand.
Fifth attempted fix: bang head on cement...hasn't shown any signs of working yet. Although I feel less frustrated.......and less conscious.
Theories: free version of Google Apps, sucks (the apps themselves are great)...I've had tons of trouble getting signed into certain google features over the years. Also I have no option for a support PIN to use to contact google support.
I think that my latest OTA update may have somehow changed or reset my backup password.
The last theory is whomever changed Android device manager to not reset lockscreen passwords whenever you want to...basically made that tool half as useful as it should be and completely useless to me.
Anyone have any other ideas, that don't involve a full wipe?
I was finally able to gain access to my phone. I had to disable two-step verification in order to sign into my google apps account from the lock screen.
I am having the same issues and tried ALL of the fixes you tried except I didn't get the notification to login with google. When does that happen?
I had the problem, too. I ended up having to factory reset. REALLY irritated by this.

[APP][5.0+]AndroidAuto carNotifier (Multi-language and Email support)

Beta 1.0 released
I will like to start saying a very big thank you to @bggold who asked me to consider this in the first place
While there isn't any way to use the nice Google Assistant voice, and it's still rough around the edges, this demonstrates how we can use Android Auto in a multi-lingual environment as well as how to read out and reply emails.
The concept is very simple, instead of relaying on Android Auto to read out the notifications I have created a small app which mimics that behaviour, with some extras:
1) It try to do a language detection for each test, and use the appropriate TextToSpeech
2) It allows the user to select which app notification does he/she want's to read
3) If the content is really long (like a lengthy email) the app will prompt the user if it want's to go ahead with the message readout or not
4) If notification supports quick-reply the app will prompt the user for a reply (in the same language as the the original message)
Planning to support a lot of languages but there I will need user input, I have translated the basic strings to around 70 languages using Google translator, but I can tell it's not quite right (I can see with the languages I do speak)
Best part, app won't be affected by 3rd party restriction at all and it won't require root either, however I'm pretty sure Google will not allow it on the PlayStore
Beta version available now on XDA Labs.
App will be payable, however current beta is free so grab a copy while you can
To use the app you will need to enable unknown sources in Android Auto, simply open Android Auto, go to About, tap the "About Android Auto" header 10 times till you become a developer, then from the 3 dotted right menu select developer options and enable "Unknown sources"

Thanks for making this app!
After first start it asked for notification permission and then it was gone to build the list of installed apps/services - endless...
So I've forced close the app after minutes, went to app info/permissions, and enabled unselected permissions for it.
After that the app works now, as it should!
I'll test the functionality today while using AA in my car.

Thanks. It was 3 am )) updating the app now.
This is exactly what I needed. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. Using Samsung S9 plus running Oreo. Gave read permission to the app, enabled developer settings on Android Auto, enabled unknown sources, enabled whatsapp and Gmail.
Whatsapp notifications haven't changed and it continues to read the foreign text in English. Gmail notifications don't pop up at all.
Any suggestions?

Not sure if you saw but there is a new release. It fixes this issue. Just remember to reboot after updating.
Unfortunately I have the same problem as @yavuzyay. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with Android 7.0 and Carnotifier Beta v3.
Thanks to @yavuzyay for bugreport and Turkish language input.
I have identified the problem where the app was crashing in case you where using AA on the phone only, and this has been now fixed.
@CeldeSuS - Are you phone only or are you using AA on the car? If phone only, download the new beta 1.4

I'm using AA on the car (Alpine X802D-U head unit). I'll try the new beta anyway and report back.
Awesome. Works perfectly.
V4 work fine with SM960F(android 8.0) & RLink1 !
Great job!
Very good stuff!
I use it with the now playing feature - basically phone picks up music on the radio,.detects the song and artist and throws a notification. This app picks that up and shows it as a notification on the car screen! I have disabled read out. So it stays as a simple notification.
Quick question - haven't been able to try it - if I set zero seconds as the duration, will it leave the notification forever?
Tested but not working as expected. Line is an application which doesn't support Android Auto.
Positive: Yes, Car Notifier shows there is a message on Line.
Negative: Can't do anything, it won't read the message, the notification stays in grey color and nothing happens when I click on the message.
Cheers

You can't click the notification to have it read at this time. If you want them read to you enable the read option.
"Read out notifications" is enabled in the settings, my Honda headunit is hacked and I have root access, so I don't think this is related to that.

I'm sure you have but have you checked all the permissions?
CarNotifier asks only permissions to Microphone and Phone, both are granted.
Wondering now whether it has something to do with the new Android Auto v3.8.584554 where some on Reddit claim, that notification is broken
Cheers
Tom
Edit: Maybe the the new AA version interferes with CarNotifier, because AA can show now also message preview
More edit: My friend tested on the Samsung S7 (I have a OnePlus 3T). Also on his mobile nothing happens with Line.
Can't read out and nothing happens in AA when click on it
Is there an app for Speed cams like in your obd2aa app, to have only the speed cam notification?

I am running the new aa and it is working. Get Emil a bug report right after it happens.
The only thing you can do at this time is swip away the notifications. Clicking them will not do anything.
Thanks
After more testing, I do believe the culprit is Line. Gmail works as expected, Facebook also (just for test).
However, Line refuses, which is actually the reason to install the program in the first place.
Probably one of the few programs which won't work.
Great program though.
Cheers

Hi guys.
I'm finally back in the UK and in front of my PC, I've also managed to tied up quiet a few of my loose ends and I have no big project starting this year. I will dedicated the last 2 weeks of this years to the following:
1) Looking into fixing some of the FC for obd2aa, also try to find a solution for non-standard PIDs
2) Get AA GateWay to Beta/Stable version (most work needs to be done on this app)
3) Fix some issues and FC with HUR (including Waze sound cut off).
4) Get the carNotifier to a stable version.
January and February are again fully booked so I will focus on stability rather then adding new features especially because obd2aa and HUR and fairly mature apps with most of the functions already covered.
For some reason I'm not really getting any notifications from XDA and being a lot on the road I don't visit the site too often lately, therefore I will kindly ask you if you need support, please email me directly to [email protected].

Question Casting restriction caused by rear screen

Hello guys,
the "WOW"-App (formerly known as Sky Ticket) is a streaming app from the pay-tv service sky (watch live sports and films and so on).
The app has a cast-function to cast it to a chromecast capable device.
The problem is, that the app doesn't stream at all since the A12 update, the app gives me an error indicating that i try to cast the phone screen via hdmi which is not allowed., so i can't watch anything, the stream doesn't even start.
This is caused by the rear screen (i spoke to sky support). Support says, they cant give solutions because the mi 11 ultra is a "exotic device".
Toggling off the settings or disabling the rear screen system app didn't resolve the issue.
Under AOSP ccustom rom (pixel experience and crdroid the app worked because the reaar screen is disabled there).
I tried to look into the permissions using Lucky Patcher but can't figure out the corresponding permission.
Anybody know which peersmission i have to deactivate or can help to disable the rear screen?
It happened with me as well, i wasn't able to use wireless display feature on my windows laptop. Everytime i tried to connect this phone to laptop for casting. It will try but won't succeed so i turned of rear display from settings and restart and casting started working but when ever i used to go to phone settings' main page it will disconnect everytime. So i had to minimize using home button everytime i connected.
I am from India and I bought my ultra on the day of its launch.
From the day one my satellite TV app Tata Sky refused to work with "Casting is on" message.
TataSky helpdesk blames this issue to this particular model and ask me to get support from Xiaomi.
I switched off casting/screen mirroring etc etc etc but nothing works.
I searched a lot but came to know this issue is because off rear display and switching it off via default settings doesn't resolve this issue.
I was OK to live without TataSky as I started loveing my Ultra .
But now need a resolution on this urgently PLEASE as update version of my ICICI bank app refused to work as casting is not allowed as security measure.
Uninstall it and install older version to work but I know it is a temporary solution because anytime my main banking app will force me to update.
There must me something in setting text file which could edit with Setedit to switch off "back display" as we were able to increase its switch on time by fiddling with this file.
(Use setedit to edit the time of the rear screen from 3000 (30s) to what number you want )
Any solution will be very much appreciated.

Go for custom rom -> EvoX, Project404 or PixelExperience, my Sky App works because rear display is deactivated in these roms
