Prevent forced update of Android Auto? - Android Auto General

AA is forcing me onto the latest version, but I want to keep an earlier pre-coolwalk version. If I uninstall the updates back to factory and install a previous version the app works fine, but the next time I use the car it forces the update again. I'd rather not have to uninstall/reinstall every time I use the car.
Any way for me to retain the old app?

No, unfortunately there is no way. A lot of people have the same question.

Android Auto stopped working

I have been using android auto for the past 3-4 weeks flawlessly. However in the last day when I plug my phone in I now get the red page stating this device cannot work with android auto on the phone. I have tried everything from reinstalling the android auto app/clearing cache/data and the same for google play services to factory resetting the phone. Has anyone else encountered this? does anyone have any ideas?
Phone: Nexus 6, stock, never rooted, never unlocked
Headunit: Pioneer AVIC8100NEX
Edit: I've been messing around with this, I am starting to suspect the 7.3.29 update to google play services is the culprit. downgrading to 7.0.99 seems to make it work up until the google play service updates itself automatically. I've tried connecting the phone in airplane mode to prevent this but android auto doesn't launch at all when the phone is in airplane mode.
Send a bug report.

Better send a bug report to Google and the Android Auto support team. After I took that update I had some problems with other devices, not sure where but there is a list of devices and applications that have switches to allow/not allow them and all of them were switched to off. Had to turn many of them back on for me to get any information from them. Don't know about the AA application. I have not used it much because there is no Pandora Radio support yet and I have not had to go on any long trips so all I've needed was the voice navigation from Google maps on my phone. Hoping Pandora gets added soon, then it will be all I ever use.

7.3.29 is installed on my Nexus6, with the same HU, and I have no problems. Have you updated the avic8100NEX's firmware to 1.0.3?
Yea, I updated to 1.03 the first day I got it installed. There seems to be some people with a similar issue, and others dont experience it at all.
I started a post over at androidcentral http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...y-states-device-cannot-work-android-auto.html
Two others chimed in with the same problem. Started about the same time google play servivce update rolled out. But if that is the problem then I am at a loss why only a few of us are having this problem.
Yeah, I think the update caused issues on some devices. I tested with 6 different phones the other day. HTC One M8 w/ CM12 seems OK, as does MotoG stock or CM12, and I think GS2 w/ 5.1 ROM. GS3 was among the problem devices.
I see a permissions problem in the logcat; Google's own Android Auto app can't get the permissions it needs.
I'm not positive this is all directly related though.
What build of Android?

You nailed the nail on the head...
I think I've figured it out. It definitely is the google play services update 7.3.29 on a N6 running Android 5.0.1. I can out my SIM and block google play through my home firewalls then downgrade to 7.0.99 and it works flawlessly. I then manually updated to Android 5.1.0 with google play services 7.3.29 and it also works flawlessly. So my recommendation is to manually apply the 5.1 update. I just tried to go back to 5.0.1 and once 7.3.29 services come down it no longer works. And went back to 5.1 and it works again. Definitely an issue with 5.0.1 and google play services 7.3.29 combination.
All of this testing was done with factory images, the only non factory application installed was android auto. all partitions on the device were formatted prior to applying system images.

This also worked for me. I was so confused as to why my Nexus 6 all of a sudden didn't work with Android Auto... I was running 5.0.1 with the updated Google Play Services 7.3.29 (auto updated). Switched to a ROM with 5.1 and it works again. Thanks!

Completely remove/disable android auto?

Does anyone have a method for completely disabling or removing Android Auto? Every time I plug my phone in to charge in my wife's truck, it pops up and I have to say "no." I don't have the app installed and the required software will never land on my phone (stripped down Lineage OS install). Is there a system app I can remove or setting I can change that will make it stop popping up?

There should a setting in the radio to disable Android Auto. In my Ford it is under Android Auto settings.
My wife uses it, so doing that would increase the number of steps that I have to take. (Would have to toggle off while I'm driving and remember to toggle back on when done so she doesn't get annoyed.) I'm trying to figure out how to disable it entirely or block the intent that signals it to start.

It shouldn't be starting should it? When I plug my sons phone in which doesn't have the AA app installed it doesn't start AA on head unit. When I plug my phone in it says something like AA device detected & AA on the head unit starts. So something must be wrong with trucks AA, I think, or maybe different car manufactures do things differently?
Are you sure you can't install app on your phone? If you could install the AA on your phone there is a rejected car list option, you can add your wife's truck there and it won't start… I guess (as I've never used that option)
Alternatively you could just use one of those cigarette lighter USB chargers… I have one of those as passengers are always running low on battery LOL.
Installing the app requires installing and enabling at least one other piece of software that is well known for being bad for privacy: Google. Putting that on my phone is a non starter for anything. It's worth trying to see if I can change that setting without having to install all the dependent software though.
Just wondering if you were able to solve this? I have the exact same issue. Crazy thing is that I had gotten rid fof the annoying Android Auto prompts but then the super helpful techs at Samsung screwed up my phone trying and failing to do something else. Now the prompts are back and I can't remember how I got rid of them in the first place.
what about a cable like this ? https://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-Micro-USB-Cable-Charging/dp/B0088HTYUE
Please help. I highly recommend nobody update Android phones! Android auto does not stop popping up and is extremely annoying. It doesn't work. And causes all kinds of delays and disrupt other applications that work fine. Anybody know how to get rid of the current Android auto that was updated today?

So you are saying Android Auto was installed on your phone by default & you can't uninstall it? If you can't uninstall AA you could "freeze it" with an app, Google "freeze bloatware" there are a number of ways of doing this (even without root) depending on android version
But first is Bluetooth auto start turned off? Have you added car to reject list in settings?
If that doesn't work you can activate developer options & set USB Configuration to "charge only", though that might stop USB working how you want when connecting to something else. Or use the charge only cable as mentioned above.

Recent GPS problems

I had posted this over on the Note 8 Verizon board but dont think it is really a Verizon problem but more of a Note 8 problem and might get a better response here.
Just recently over the last couple months, I have been having a problem with getting a good gps signal in programs such as Waze and Google maps. I have done all kinds of searches and many mention to go into settings and in location settings, turn on High Accuracy. That option is bo longer available and not sure if it was eliminated in Pie. I have been doing all the latest updates and believe I am current. The only thing I have been able to find is to go into settings, then Google, and then Account Services and there I found location. The only choices under Improve Accuracy is to turn on Wifi scanning and Bluetooth scanning which I have done. There no longer is a choice of High Accuracy and the ability to turn GPS on or off like I had in previous phones and previous versions of Android. I have even tried turning on High Performance under Battery Power settings and turned off any choices to optimize battery or disable apps. I ended up downloading 2 different GPS apps from Store, GPS Status and GPS Fix/Optimizer. I will normally use Waze or Google maps through Android Auto. I can tell when there is a problem when the position indicator keeps bouncing all over the place in Waze and cant find exactly where I am. When that happens, I will check on GPS Status and it always shows that it is having a problem acquiring the satellite signals. I will then open up GPS Fix/Optimizer and on the home screen, there is a button that will say Service Off. I press it and it will then read Service On. Switching back to GPS Status will now show that it is starting to acquire multiple satellite signals. When I switch back to Waze, now it is able to show my exact location and begins to work properly.
This is driving me nuts. I never had this problem on any other of multiple different phones or Android versions. I can get GPS working but have to jump through all these hoops each time and it sucks. So what other steps can I do to be able to fire up Waze and have it find me right away?
I've had this problem for YEARS on all my Samsung devices running the latest firmware updates and unrooted while connected to a LTE data plan. The issue doesn't affect my other (new) Samsung A30 however. I've always had the latest note series since the Note2, 3, 4, 5, 8.
If I have my Samsung A30 and Note 8 with Google Maps giving me turn by turn directions, my Note 8 (as with my current phones) will stop reporting my location from the very begining of the trip while my Samsung A30 is giving the correct updates. All phones are connected to the same carrier, and same GPS / App settings.
---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------
What is consistent about all my Notes is that I've been using Samsung Smart Switch to transfer over the data from the previous Note to the next. I wonder if I transferred over some corrupt settings somewhere. No GPS app works as it should for me unless I'm connected to WiFi, or restart my device, then it works for a few minutes, then gets "lost" again.

The more I've looked into it, it seems to have occurred following the early Feb update. It also seems to have affected S9 phones and Note 9 and 10 and possibly others after they got the Android 10 update. But it seems to be only a Samsung problem. Samsung, Google, and Verizon are all blaming each other instead of trying to figure out a fix. The biggest issue I see is the lack of control of being able to change the GPS from off to on. Without being able to control the GPS, we are at the mercy of the software to do that and it is obviously failing. The only workaround I have found was what I posted above and utilizing GPS Fix/Optimizer and GPS Status apps, I can get both Waze and Google Maps to work properly. It just bugs me that I have to go through several steps to do this instead of just firing up my navigation app and taking off...
And just to add, I too have used Smart Switch many times before and never had problem. It only started recently. As far as the control for GPS, I'm not sure when that setting was removed. I never paid much attention before because it wasnt necessary. But what I did find curious was that Location setting was buried instead of it being one of the main settings. You really have to dig to find it now...

I have noticed that certain apps like GPS apps require that you reinstall them onto your new device from scratch. As SmartSwitch doesn't seem to transfer the data files corrected to other Samsung devices.

I agree with that but this is not a new device nor have I done any kind of restore or transfer from an old phone in quite a while. All my apps have been fine for over a year now on this Note 8. This only started after the first February "Security" update.

Im pretty sure that's not the case. My Note is still on Android 9 (Pie) which it has been for almost a year now. It has only gotten security and various minor updates but not any kind of OS update. Note 8 will not be getting Android 10, only security updates. I always update Waze and Google maps anytime an update comes out. I usually update all the other apps at least once a week. The GPS apps that I recently downloaded are the only reason that I am able to access and use my GPS through Waze and Google maps.

I've cleared cache, app data, uninstalled all GPS apps, before re-installing in an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the issue.
I even left the Google Maps "beta testing programme" thinking that a beta copy of the app might have been the issue.

Download the 2 apps I mentioned and run them. You may have to do that every time before using Google Maps but it should get you working. It's just aggravating to have to go through several steps when I should be able to open the main app I want and have it work.
Something weird just happened. I know that a couple days ago to find the location setting, I had to go to settings, Google, Account Services, and I found location there. Tonight just messing around, I noticed that it is no longer there. Instead, it is now found under settings, and then Biometrics and Security. It is down towards the bottom. Not sure how this happened as I have not received any kind of system updates. Also GPS Status app seems to just run in the background. When I open up Waze, it seems to find my location right away. I will have to keep monitoring this and see if the problem has actually been worked out.

I've already done this from even before this thread was created, but as you said, it is frustrating for me to have to do this every 10 or so minutes, as GPS stops working quite frequently on my Note 8. GPS was fine with the bone-stock firmware out of the box.

Hey Mikey,
I've noticed that it has improved, but definitely not resolved.
I'm wondering if a factory reset will revert all software updates? I have an appointment tomorrow at the samsung store, and they are going to factory reset and install the most recent software update via their system rather than an OTA which builds upon other updates. I'm backing up my phone now... which in itself is a pain. If not, I did try the GPS fix and the other GPS software, but I did not try them concurrently together, as I found GPS fix to work better. Ultimately though, I didn't think it helped by itself.

No.
I'm bumping this back up to the top. One thing I have noticed is that if I haven't used any location type apps such as google maps or Waze in a while and then open up Android Auto in my Chevy, I have a 50/50 shot of the gps actually working. Actually probably less although occasionally it will work right away. When it doesnt, I have to pull the cord out of the phone disconnecting the Chevy from My Note 8 and even if I only open up Waze or google maps after that, it will still not be able to locate my exact position. When this happens, I have opened up GPS status app and the phone gps is definitely not working. I will then open up GPS fix/optimizer and in the bottom left of the home screen, I will toggle the Service Off to Service On. Checking back with GPS Status, within a couple seconds, it shows that the GPS is now working. I can then plug my phone back into my Chevy and Android Auto with either Waze or Google Maps will be working fine for as long as I'm using it.
I originally thought it was a Samsung software issue. Now I'm starting to wonder. If I use Waze or Google Maps as standalone, they seem to work most of the time. It seems to happen mostly using Android Auto first which then opens the navigation software and if I haven't used any apps that call for location recently. I'm stumped...
Looks like I may be on the right track and Android Auto could be the cause of my issues: https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/17860576
I also found some other info that Adaptive Battery and battery optimization might also have something to do with it. I turned off adaptive battery by going into settings, then device care, then clicked on the battery icon. There are 3 dots in upper right which let you into battery settings. You can turn off adaptive battery there. Next, I went into settings, then apps, and first selected Android Auto. I clicked on the battery choice and then optimize battery usage. There in the top left, I switched from apps not optimized to all. From there I then found Android Auto and turned it off. I then while ein same screen turned off optimization for Maps and Waze. Unfortunately I dont drive that often and now with the VID, I am driving even less so it may be a while before I can verify that this worked.
An update to this. I reached out to the sub forum for Android Auto over on Google Support and got semi confirmation that the problem could actually be coming from Android Auto. One of the explanations given had something to do with Android Auto trying to get info from the vehicles gps device to make it more accurate but it may have problems communicating with the vehicle gps system. I do not have a dedicated navigation in my vehicle so not sure what it is trying to actually connect to so this could partially explain the problem. Why Android Auto would need to connect to any gps device in vehicle is beyond me because for years, my phones have always relied on the in phone GPS and have worked just fine. Here is that thread:
https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/45792804?hl=en
So I'm having the same issue on an unbranded note 8. But I'm not using android auto. I can use gps tools and it holds a lock fine. But if additional programs are launched, waze, maps, jbv1 I lose lock.

Android Auto - Android 10 and a non compatible country

Everything was perfect until i decided to upgrade to a device with Android 10. Android auto is preinstalled in that version and I can't install the apk (no reason though) in order to use android auto in my car.
I live in a country where android auto is not officially launched and by using the apk method in older versions, I could bypass the check. Now that has changed since it's preinstalled and it says that I live in a country where android auto doesn't support.
Is there any workaround for this ?
Thanks
The only thing I can tell is that I also live in a country where AA apk is not available in the Play store and I had to sideload it from Apkmirror. I am still on Android 9.
But, a friend of mine, which recently bought a Samsung S20 Ultra with Android 10, is able to use the built-in AA, besides the fact that officially AA is not available in our country.
You should know that, in Android 10, you won't find an icon for AA apk, because there isn't one. Due to the fact that AA is part of the operating system, it is not possible to start it manually, but it will be automatically activated when the phone is connected to the car's infotainment system, supporting AA. If you try to connect your phone wirelessly from the first time, it probably won't work. For the first connection and settings, you should use an USB cable.

Simple solution... use VPN and set it up to a country where AA is supported(mocked location)... or use apkmirror or Aurora store(aka free Google play, use XDA search for thread )
SOLVED
It was simpler than this, for whatever reason the usb cable only charged the device not giving a data connection and without having an option to change this. Tried 2-3 cables and one of them did the trick, everything was sorted out.

Android Auto stopped working

I have a Note 20 Ultra which has been working great since last September on my Hyundai I20N with the same cable and no automatic updates.
Last week it worked great one morning and later on that day it started throwing an error saying the phone is not recognised.
I have updated the car's head unit software, tries several versions of AA, cleared cache and data, switched cables, used a Samsung cable, uninstall and reinstalled, cleared Play Services cache, all short of a phone reset.
Meanwhile, my wife's S20 FE works fine on my car, and mine doesn't work on any car.
Ideas?
Try to delete cache and data of Google Play Services app.

Already tried it. Also removed all updates to Play Services. Still no go...
I'm seriously baffled by this one.
Also tried connecting my Galaxy Tab S6 LTE to my car and it worked flawlessly. Same AA version, same updates, same options on AA... and still my Note won't connect. Reproduce me sideways....
Android auto was working for me less than 24 hours ago. I factory reset my phone and boom my android auto no longer works. Did the whole uninstalling and cache thing and nothing. I am able to get to the welcome to android auto and then when I click it on my head unit, it crashes

Exactly the same as with my Note 20, although I did not do a factory reset. As a matter os fact, between AA working and no longer working, I did nothing on my phone.
But my Tab S6 has all the same software, versions and updates, and it works just fine...

But my Tab S6 has all the same software, versions and updates, and it works just fine...
I'm losing my crap, here

I posted my issue on the Google android auto help forum and they sent me to another post similar to our issue. Look like the issue started about a week ago

I saw some stuff about that.
What's weird, though, is that in my case it was working in the morning and stopped on the afternoon of the same day, and I didn't update anything in the meantime. Weird.
Following that previous tip regarding the Google Android Auto help forum, someone suggested something that I tried and actually worked: download and install AA version 8.0.623314 and that's it, it seems to solve the issues.
