Hello everyone!
I'm having an extremely frustrating issue. It seems that no matter what I do, I cannot make this phone work with Android Auto. I saw one other thread on here regarding AA, but there were no solutions and I wasn't sure if it was the same problem or not, so I thought I'd ask you all for some help.
My car is the 2016 Chevy Spark. AA worked perfectly fine in this car with my LG G3 on both Lollipop and Marshmallow.
My current phone is the KIW-L24. When I first got it, it was on Lollipop. Android Auto had zero function--the phone didn't even detect it at all, it would only charge. I tried several different cords, pre-installing the AA app, every USB mode and debugger mode, nothing. I updated to Marshmallow. I tried all of that again. After that, I began to wonder if maybe the issue was with the Emui OS. So I installed Resurrection Remix. With Resurrection Remix, I have actually made some progress. Using the cord that came with the phone, I can plug it into the car and get the Google Play Services notification saying that my phone is connected. However, when I first connect it the screen just goes black for a second, then goes back to the home screen. Despite the fact that Google Play Services says it's running AA, there is zero projection happening. Just that notification bar, and the Android Auto app as a black, unresponsive square if I check my currently running apps. If I tap it to open it, I just get the same flicker of a black screen before returning to my home screen. It does, however, say in the AA app that it has been paired with my car. So it's sort of working... but still doesn't appear on the car's touchscreen.
I read on one forum that a newer update of Google Play services apparently messed up AA for some phones, and was wondering if that could be the issue. However, when I try to install the apk for 9.0.83 (which was apparently the last one to work), it just says "Application not installed." Because of my inability to downgrade to that version, I've been unable to test if that is the issue.
I have tried calling the Huawei Support. They basically just said "We don't know--tough luck."
Does anyone have any ideas that might help? One of the reasons I bought this car in the first place was that I really like AA, and I seem to be one of very few people to encounter this issue. All I want is for this phone to do what it's supposed to do I'm already sort of feeling hopeless, like I threw my money down the drain with this phone. I would prefer to stay with RR if possible, but will really do anything to my phone if it means getting AA to work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Car: Chevy Spark 2016
Phone: Huawei Honor 5X
Model: KIW-L24
Current OS: ResurrectionRemix 5.7.0-20160626-kiwi
I have the same issue running the unofficial CM 13 on my Honor 5x and Android Auto on a Honda Civic EX-T 2016. Phone charges just isn't detected at all, don't even get a USB type option like when on a computer (the options for just charging, mtp, etc).

I'm in the 2016 Civic Touring, same exact issue, but even charing is iffy. On a nightly of CM13 for my Honor5x from like 2 weeks ago, hadn't seen any mention of improvements and was wondering if it was worth upgrading to a new build?
My Honor 5X worked fine with Android Auto on Lollipop with my Kia Optima. When I upgraded to Marshmallow the audio stopped working. I went back to Lollipop and it worked fine. I wiped my phone then updated to Marshmallow again and it works fine with AA again.

I installed android auto and it says "incopatible phone". How did you get pass that?
I never saw that message.

So i'd updated to the nightly build on the 10th, and it worked fine for a few days. Now im getting the incompatible phone message, and updating to the latest nightly didn't fix it. What happaned? Was there a silent Android Auto app update that i missed?
I am trying to figure out what makes this issue happen, unfortunately I can't find an explanation.
maybe u should do a factory reset

Try a factory reset or a clean install.
I did a clean install of the CM13 nightly 10/22, no change. Wondering if anyone else has android auto working on any of the newer CM13 nightlies? The last one that i had that worked was an unofficial built from like 9/20, before it got official support.
I am on stock marshmallow and Android Auto doesn't work either.
CM 12 on an S3 Mini works fine.

You can extend your concerns with the CM13 developers.

In a couple hours I will try my 5X stock on my brand new car. Will let you know.

I have a feeling you will be disappointed. It seems both the stock ROM and custom ROMs don't work with AA.

Ok. I didn't know how to use, therefore I could have done things not in an optimal way, but it worked. I could see Maps and notifications from, for example, WhatsApp. I did nothing extensive, but it seems to work.
My feeling is that it is slow, but my 5X is slow doing almost everything

That was with a USB physically attached to the car, right? Recently AndroidAuto made an update to connect to cards with BlueTooth, but that does not do screen mirroring FROM phone TO car. (aka, everythign still shows on the phone and not in in-dash infotainment unit).
Yes. Connected via USB cable.

hey all. ive posted a similar thread in the Connected Car forum but I wanted ti ask you guys if there were any reason why my V10 wont work right with the Sync3 to get Android auto to work?
in a nutshell, when the V10 is connected Auto comes up on the head unit and then crashes and then does it over and over till its disconnected. i tried a Galaxy s7 and it worked fine.
my V10 is stock not rooted. what setting should I be looking at to make this work?

I have complained on multiple thread of how bad the bluetooth is on this phone. I have a gmc 2015 canyon and bluetooth has been nothing but horrendous since marshmallow. I called LG and they keep refusing to acknowledge the issue. You are not alone , google v10 bluetooth issues and you will find plenty online. No resolution. Please call T-mobile and LG, the more ppl that call the more likely of them to address it. It happens mostly on american cars. Some c/o random disconnects, most commonly ppl c/o crackles. Other c/o of connection without any media output, even though it does show the song information playing.
Needless to say, this is my last LG phone.
Hello,
since i have updatet to Android Nougat 7.0 last week i am unable to start the Android Wear app. The only thing i see is the Android Wear and the Google logo.
I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and it wouldn't be very nice if this wouldn't work any more.
Could someone try, if the App works with another Z5C on Nougat?
Best Regards
Zillinda
it works on mine, i have a moto 260 gen 2, that is on wear 1.5.
i have intermittent bluetooth problems, the phone disables bluetooth sometimes.
I also have a smartwatch 3 at home that i stopped using a while ago, if you want i can check if i can pair it with my phone.
Also, i did a clean install of 32.3.0.378 and i wiped my watch to re-pair it with my phone

I am having the same problem. Have you found a fix for it yet. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with a Huawei watch. I am just getting the Android Wear Google logo and the app won't open. With that I can't resync my apps. It just started when my phone updated to nougat

I tried to reset my phone to factory status and now the app works.. I don't know what the problem was and it was really annoying to reinstall every app but now it works.

Hi all,
Just OTA upgraded my Z5 to Nougat and it immediately stopped my Sony Smartwatch 3 connecting, have tried resetting both phone and watch, to no avail. I then tried connecting my SW3 to my wives older sony phone and it worked perfectly, is anyone else having the same problem.
I have been a very loyal Sony customer over the years, but now after promising in writing that they would upgrade the SW3 to android wear 2.0 and then going back on their word and now not being able to use it at all since their official nougat upgrade, don't think I will buying another Sony Phone or accessory ever again, they used to be brilliant, really don't know what has happened to them lately.
Many thanks for your time in this matter, I look forward to reading your comments on this matter.
Kindest Regards - Ashe.
Any one is getting the same issue?? did any one solved?

A lot of people had this problem on Mate 9 as well.
It works fine for me.
Are you using original USB-c cable?
Yes, im using the original USB-c and two alternatives and is the same problem , looks like is not running , may be some task is stopped or killed by the phone.
Did you turned off something on your phone?

Nope, nothing turned off. I do have USB debugging turned on in Developer options.

worked on my Sony without problems. In my new car (Skoda Amundsen System), I get the black screen... No solution yet
I had same problem so I uninstall AA then reinstalled it. Works perfect even with a Brodit iPhone mount with a lightning to USB C adapter. I have the best of both worlds AA or carplay USB debugging on by the way..

Correct. This seems to be an issue with EMUI itself as it's not an issue with vanilla Android 7, 8 or 8.1.
I have no problems using AA with my Seat Leon (MY2015). Before Mate 10 Pro i was using Huawei P9 and P10 also without problems.

No, that's the only issue - on the previous phones (P9/P10) it works. But for me no problem to use phone controls.
I've had mixed problems with my Mate 10 and Android Auto. Most things like Spotify and TuneIn work, but Waze and Google Maps crash it. You need to clear the cache and data from the Android Auto app and any app that doesn't work, that fixed it for me

Extactly, that temporary fixes the problem until you reboot.
Project treble could give hope. Just flesh the aosp android.
But I don't want to try it without knowing if it helps

Haha. That's so far off being ready that you'll likely have a new phone before it's ready.
Hello everybody,
Since the OREO update, it is impossible to connect dji drone to your phone.
That say if someone find a workaround, lets us know
If you want to flight your drone, do not update your phone... I seems that the USB detection is lost and not stable....
Cheers
Hi, for me everything seems fine. I've used DJI go 4 app on Oreo few days ago and didn't have any problems. Do you have issues when connecting to controller or to drone?
mmmh have you wipe your phone after the update?
the phone is recognised 1 seconds by the app and then disconnected. Le remote <-> drone link works.
I have tried to reboot everything, update drone and remote.... reinstall dji go 4... nothing change.
my last idea is the factory reset but I would like to avoid this solution..
Thank you for your feedback

The actual workaround is to downgrade to android 7..
OK for LG G6 Android 8.0.0 + DJI Spark + RC (no cable)
Hi all,
I'm from Italy.
I received Oreo Android 8.0.0 on my LG G6 yesterday and I have just done my first flight with my Spark without any problem.
So, for me everything it's all right.
I didn't use the cable between rc and phone.
After a downgrade to android 7.0, everything works fine! Not satisfied with this workaround but i have not found a better solution
Hi guys and gals!
I've recently purchased my DJI Spark and wanted to connect it via OTG cable to my LG G6. Seems like I've hit the same wall as you, meaning G6 doesn't connect to RC anymore via OTG cable after the Oreo update.
That said I started an official thread on DJI Forum and also contacted LG Support department. Agent that I talked to, promised to pass the issue to another (appropriate) department for the investigation.
It would be great if all of us contact LG and report this problem. Maybe, in that case, they would release some fix (maybe with next update) for something that apparently worked perfectly fine with Android 7.0.
hey everybody! I got h870ds and mavic pro and had the same issue (phone couldn't connect to dji go app, though drone was perfectly connected to RC) after oreo update. What helped me was downgrade of drone and RC's firmwares using DJI Assistant to previous version. Today I launched the drone, everything went without any problems.
I didn't want to downgrade my phone bc I love oreo much more than nougat on lg g6. Hope my story will help you guys. Also I would recommend using dji assistant on mac since windows version was kinda buggy (no progress after reaching 99 per cent) just fyi
To which exact version have you downgraded RC and Mevic firmware?
What about DJI Go app? Which versing are you using?

In this terms dji go app version is not key factor. The latest actual version of the app should work perfectly
speaking of the drone and rc, I installed 01.04.0300 (february one) for both devices. The one I had problems with was the latest 01.04.0400.
I am not telling you that this was the root of the problem but results are speaking for themselves: now lg g6 with oreo connects with RC and drone.
Ok. I'll not be able to test this as I have spark and it didn't follow the same firmware numbering.
Maybe others with Mavic Pro and LG G6 would benefit from your finding.
Out of curiosity, what made you downgraded the firmware? Did you know it's gonna help or just trying different things?

I tried different cables, different apps, different combinations of powering up sequences, using debug mode - none would do the thing. I ve seen messages about downgrading the phone but for me it was not the option since I was really waiting oreo update and I liked it. If downgrading rc and drone wouldn't work I have a backup xiaomi redmi note 2, that still works ok, but videostream was lagging as well as the manual commands (lame backup phone).
Hi.I found out that contact DJI was useless.They won't fix the software problem.They only tell me is to swap to another capable phone that DJI supported.
Got exactly the same answer yesterday in my thread in Dji forum.
There is one other way we can "force" DJI to do something about it. One guy on DJI forum made the thread in the form of poll/vote for people experiencing the same issue as he did to vote.
Then he opened DJI support ticket and linked that thread.
Finally DJI acknowledged the issue and fixed it in one of the next releases.
UPDATE!
One of the users called Plujesz from the DJI forum found a way to connect LG G6 running OREO to RC via OTG cable. The workaround is pretty simple and works for both DJI Spark (I checked that myself) and DJI Mavic Pro. Have a look at this video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4tltiX3uk&feature=youtu.be
I tested this workaround on the following setup and it worked fine:
Spark firmware: V 01.00.1000
RC firmware: V 01.00.0600
DJI GO 4: v4.2.21
LG G6: Oreo (V20b-EUR-XX)
All credits go to Plujesz for finding this workaround.
Works for me
With my spark and the latest version of firmwares and app today 2019/03/08.
I went using the debug mode until I got a stable connection (it stops vibrating and it appears that a device has just been connected).
After opening the application without marking that always opens when you connect that device, if you mark it there is a problem and you have to delete the applications that are opened by default.
And finally you have to close and reopen the application.
Hey there.
As part of an insurance claim I managed to get ahold of a HD1910 (power plug is american.)
After setting up the device, it seems to contain considerably more bugs than my old HD1913 (European, Danish).
I am experiencing issues from lack of stability of the bluetooth connection to my OnePlus Buds, through Spotify cutting out for a moment when starting some games, to Android Auto selector button disappearing. All on the new phone. The old one, which I still have, works fine in regards to all of the above.
Can anyone tell me if I should expect a different experience between the two phones? And what I can do to investigate further?
HD1910 runs OOS 10.0.10.HD01AA
HD1913 runs OOS 10.0.9.HD01BA
Thanks in advance!
Sanniya
Did you update and do a factory reset after?
HD1910 LATEST OOS is actually 10.0.11.HD01AA via Oxygen updater.
First thing I did was update. I received the phone on Friday.
Today I did factory reset in an attempt to fix the issues, but at least the Bluetooth one still is there.
Havent checked android auto, as I figured it wouldn't make much difference.
Ok, so I updated both phones to 10.0.11 using oxygen updater..
Turns out the Spotify interruption is the HD audio: aac setting on Bluetooth headset.
I'll give the new phone another android auto chance tomorrow
