Just noticed today that when using YT Music in Drive mode/Android Auto it shows that it is 'offilne', and only allows me to play music that I downloaded to the device (Pixel 6 Pro) however when using the app itself it shows to be online. This only occurs in Drive Mode and Android Auto. I have 'Stream via Wi-Fi only' set to the off position. Is there something else I should check? If I bypass AA and use YT Music straight through Bluetooth it works fine
Thanks!
Where is/what is showing "offline"? Can you provide a screenshot?

Every time I switch a track or a new podcast it wakes up my screen. Is there a way to disable this? It's never happened on any other phone before.

I am, it happens on Pocketcast too.
I'm using Google Play Music, don't have that problem (tried by leaving app in the foreground with screen off as well as with app running in background in the notification area).
Possible Pushbullet sync issue?
I have this exact issue in Google Play Music when connected to my cars via bluetooth. But it is only when I force switch tracks if it's just playing its fine.

Does anyone know if it is possible to send a command to the Android Auto inteface?
For instance. "Play"
Right now if you play music on the phone after connecting to android auto for instance using Tasker, the music will play but the Android Auto interface doesn't pick up that music has started playing. It will notice if you manually click on the Music button at the bottom but until then it has no idea that music started playing.
So. No song info on the main screen. All headunit control buttons don't work.
The Android Auto protocol allows a Headunit to send a Play command and that tends to be triggered by a physical Play button on the HU.
But you still need an Android Auto compatible audio app to actually DO something with a received Play command.
Google COULD choose to allow any normal audio app to work under Android Auto, but they choose not to, IMO because it increases competition for Google's Play Music app.
I think that a third party Android Auto compatible app could act as a "middle-man" between a non AA app and AA. But I'm sure such an app would never be allowed on Play, so there's not much incentive for professional devs to build one. I've considered it, but I'm busy enough.
Hi,
the Spotify and Netflix lockscreen controls are not working very well on my P9.
At least they appear on my lockscreen after the last EMUI Update. But using them still isn't very satisfying.
My current problem: When using Spotify or Netflix the controls disappear from the lockscreen after 30 min or something. Even if the music or Movie is still running. This especially happens if I stream to Chromecast or Spotify Connect. have to unlock my phone, open Spotify or Netflix and reconnect.
Both apps are given full lockscreen rights and excluded from automatic shutdown after screen lock.
Why is that and how can I get the apps to stay on the lockscreen as long as music/movie is running?
Netflix has android app? I cant find it, possiby unavailable in my country.
Does nobody have an idea?

If your phone is rooted you will not find it on the Play Store. But you can download the apk
Hey
So I took delivery of my new Vauxhall Crossland X with Android Auto yesterday. Its great to have a headunit that will work with android auto. However I have a very annoying issue.
Nav, calls and spotify work without issue. However I have recently switched to google play music. Now the app opens and when you press play the track starts progressing and you can see the time line moving, however no sound is coming through.
If I change to spotify it works without issue and I can listen to music, albeit in a lesser sound quality (in my opinion) .
Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?
Appreciate your help.
Best wishes
Andy
AFAIK there's sadly no solution for this yet. I can't post links yet because I'm haven't posted much yet, but if you google for "Play music not working on android auto" you'll find a thread in the Google product forums.
Seems to be a Huawei specific problem...
It most certainly is a Huawei issue for which they have no answer. My issue isn't with Android Auto but the Google play music app is glitchy on my car stereo. The album art is from the first song that played the first time I connected the phone to my car and it hasn't changed since. The native music app and spotify have no such issue. I think it has to do with the lack of integration. The play music app's colour should match the album art in the drop down (since Oreo 8.0) but it's just a big orange box. There's definitely something wrong with Huawei's play music.

Installing equalizer from Play store (equalizer by Smart Android apps) make sure eq is ON, and stays on, skip to next song and now Android Auto works.
But first:
Remove and clear data from Android Auto, reboot
Clear all Bluetooth devices from car, and under system in your car remove Android Play devices.
Clean fresh set-up.

Wow, this finally seemed to fix it. I installed the app and reset the Android Auto settings and it's now working again. Thanks a lot!
I gave up before seeing this last post - I sold my p20 pro and bought a pixel 2 xl - have to say it worked straight away and the sound quality on android auto is better too. Gutted Ive lost the p20 pro camera as that was amazing but its nice to have a clean stock phone again. Lets hope the pixel 3 xl has the 3 camera setup that my p20 pro had.
Do I have to leave equaliser on permanently or just for the initial reset of android auto?

EQ option turns on automatically everytime I open Google music
Same issue with Oneplus 6 and Vivo V9. Apart from plethora of issues this issue is the most annoying.
Other issues- Music stops playing and then suddenly resume from beginning of song, Blank screen, no voice control(it used to work before), Whatapps messages are not read(used to work before)
When you try and send a message through voice does it go "uh, something went wrong"?
Hi guys
A few questions on EMUI Desktop Mode. I recently grabbed a second hand Nexdock 2 which I plan to use for travelling and powered by my phone's Desktop Mode (PO30 Pro of course).
My question is does anybody know how to default the mode it launches in, from PHone to Desktop?
Additionally, anybody know how to remove some of the limits relating to media? YouTube 1080p/4k videos seem to only play in 360 or 480 depending on the video...very strange.
Use web browser to do it. Eventually use Youtube Vanced and in options search for ,,use unsupported resolutions,, or something like that. This option eneables to play 4k content on phone. But you have to turn it on.
