Android Auto issues with my phone - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

Hello XDA,
I'm having issues with my Android Auto. I'm using it with OnePlus 7T Pro (with the latest OOS 10.0.13 and the latest AA 5.9.604634).
After a click or few inside an application (no matter if it is a Phone, Spotify, Waze,...), the cursor disappears from the app. I can control the bottom bar only - that one works flawlessly. When this happens, the application still normally works, it doesn't freeze or anything, I just cannot control it. It behaves the same wired and wireless.
I recorded a quick video presenting the issue:
YouTube
The thing is, when I tried it with Samsung Galaxy S8 and there were no issues, so it looks to be something wrong with my OnePlus.
Do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this? How to find out what is causing it and possibly how to fix this?
I tried to delete all data from AA application on my phone, but no luck.
I'll be happy for any advice, thank you.

[H] XTZ with docking station

Hi all,
I got my XTZ with docking station the other week.
When I first connected to the cradle it started some app I just dismissed and didn't really care about at the time.
Now its started every time I dock the tablet, but there is a bug I think. The volume starts to go crazy ON/OFF on the tablet.
As if the volume down button is hold, but when I try to volume up with the HW the button it automatically gets down again. When I remove the tablet everything is OK.
I didn't find it to be a known issue and any way to resolve it.
Is there a workaround?
Hate to use the tablet just as photo frame when docket, I would like to use it as a player also.

Take a look at Smart Connect - in the "View" tab it allows you add start and end actions when charging via the dock - this includes starting apps, open webpages, playing media tracks etc ... I suspect your offending app is being triggered by this - simply delete it and add your own (or have it do nothing like I did).

The misbehaving app is most likely the Crackle app (see THIS THREAD) that came pre-installed on the tablet and currently, no amount of tinkering with it or Smart Connect will cause it to not start when the tablet is placed into the charging cradle. My research has found it to be a Crackle bug, not a Sony bug. You can solve the problem by uninstalling the pre-installed Crackle app and then installing the Crackle app (version 3.0.2) provided by Amazon.com. Do not install the Crackle app provided by Google's Play Store, it is the same version (3.0.11) that is pre-installed on the tablet. The main difference I have experienced between Crackle 3.0.2 from Amazon.com and Crackle 3.0.11 from Google's Play Store is 3.0.2 displays its selection screens in portrait mode whereas 3.0.11 displays its selection screens in landscape mode. Both versions of Crackle display videos in landscape mode.
Its actually Smart Connect (LiveWareâ„¢ Mgr) I think. I downloaded and tested some other apps for cradle like Night clock and even when not docked it behaves the same way if started - Smart connect was not started.
Any workaround? Seems like XTZ issue to me if other apps from the market behave like this as well. I think I found a menu where I can set what to happen if connect to dock/charger, but it has no option to remove auto Silent mode.
It seems strange as my dock station is completely controllable. My XTZ behaves exactly the way I want it to.
Maybe you can try to uninstall ane reinstall Smart Connect. Then go to Dock tab, set the sound to normal whenever your tablet is docked

Haha thats funny.
I actually can't find SmartConnect as an app. Tried to tinker a bit more with the settings, but realized it is only accessible if started by docking in the cradle. Not in either app browser or app management .
Didn't have access to the cradle yesterday, and when I have access I usually don't have the time.
Today when I connect it automatically started with music playback (still muted) and gallery slideshow. I found it has 4 types of events connect to dock (labeled View??), When on Mobile, When in Home, etc. But none had added option to turn sound OFF. When I added clock to View event, it didn't start the clock, but actually turned on the music player
Any idea how the app is labeled in App managed, or if it is in the app browser with a different name?
Go to Play Store and search for Smart Connect. If it is not installed, install it. If it is, you will see an option to open it.
So far I cannot think of any other solutions for you except Smart Connect. Sorry if I am not helpful
I don't know if Smart Conncet is pre-installed because apps are automatically installed when I link XTZ to my Google account. All apps in my Xperia phone are downloaded to XTZ.
Whenever I dock my tablet I get a popup asking me to choose one of my dowloaded bedside clock/alarm apps. I went into Smart Connect and deleted all events but the popp continues to show. Any ideas what could be causing the auto launch? Thanks.

[Q] Connection with car's Bluetooth, no media.

Hi
Whenever I connect my car's Bluetooth with my phone, I can make/receive calls but I can't access the media on my phone. I have tried clearing the cache, unparing and paring back again but still doesn't work. The option to use media in my phone is also enabled.
I previously had HTC Sensation and it worked absolutely fine with the same car, even media worked fine too.
Can someone please help me?
My phone is:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon and 3GB RAM Variant.
Screenshot of the ROM below.
Thanks
Edit: My phone is not rooted. But if it is guaranteed that rooting will solve the problem then I would root it.
i have a similar issue and like you many other phones work fine. I have a bug fix request into google if you'd like to add your info maybe we can get this resolved. Do you have BT 4.2? What kind of car do you have?

Chromebook Pixel 2013 with Acer r11 Software Issues

So I finally have Android Apps working on the Chromebook Pixel 2013. It was an easy matter installing the R11 firmware. The issues I am facing have to do with the sound. It plays sound, although the volume does not seem to work as it should. It only really changes when I set it to either mute or on at full volume.
Also, there seems to be an issue with the headphones. I need to go into the Alsamixer and unmute the channels. The issue is I can not save this setting (tried the normal Linux way with no success) so when ever the comp is restart have to go back into the Alsa mixer. It is not a major issue, but it is one thing keeping it from being flawless.
The only other thing is the mouse pointer in android apps is very small. I am thinking this has to do with the way Android is rendered on Chrome OS and the resolution of the screen, so not sure if there is any way of fixing it, but thought it I would bring it up. Beyond that, if anyone has a Chromebook Pixel and wants Android apps, the process is easy. If anyone needs me to outline the full process, just let me know! The Chromebook Pixel 2013 is far from dead, and still one of the most stunning laptops you can buy!
I'll probably be doing this myself shortly. I'll investigate the audio issues and alsamixer. I assume this is you? https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/c...pixel_2013_but_now/?ref=share&ref_source=link
Thanks,

Did you ever get this working? I've tried and after installing the R11 firmware it won't boot.
How do you install the firmware?

Andoid Auto doesn't work

Guys, i got a new pocof1 yesterday. I tried everything possible but android auto doesn't work when i connect it to the car. I get black bars on to and bottom. Please let me know if anyone has a fix for this.
Android auto on POCO f1
No issues for me. Android auto is working as expected. Only issue seems to be with auto launching the app even after connecting to my car's Bluetooth

The issue is when you connect it with the car.

It's issue, I guess it's specifically with POCO F1 and car device. I have tried with Ford Sync and it's exactly same issues which i am facing

Multi-sim - Disable 1 of the sim cards possible?

Hello,
Previously, I was using a OnePlus 5.
This phone had the ability on Oxygen OS to disable one sim-card.
This was very nice and important for me.
Currently my Pocophone runs on Lineage OS 16, and it seems not possible to disable one sim-card.
Is there an app our a way to disable one sim-card?
I would like to use this every day, because I don't need to be available for my work after the office hours.
If there isn't an app, cli is also fine.
If somebody is running Miui stock and it's possible there, please let me know.
Also if you're running on Miui stock, are the bluetooth hickups solved when listening to audio on your car radio, streamed through bluetooth?
