Ever since I believe around the 3rd Android 9 beta update, pandora kept crashing on my Android Auto. I was hoping the full "street" version of 9 released yesterday would resolve this but it didnt. I also noticed the screen on my car blacking out at times and then coming back on during android auto. The problem is I can go a song or two on pandora and then it stops and says pandora inaccessible on the screen and then a new song starts playing. Sometimes, it will cut off 3 songs in a row within the first minute of each song. Its really frustrating and I cant tell if its a pandora thing or android auto thing. Used to think it was a beta thing but thats clearly not it anymore.
I do keep my phone in my cupholder area and was wondering if when the proximity or light sensor gets changed in there, would that affect anything? It didnt before, Im just wondering if theres any new settings that could be making that change.
My original pixel xl did that on the betas but I replaced that phone with a pixel 2 xl over the weekend and I haven't noticed it happening with the new phone.

I even tried turning off battery management in the app and lowering the audio quality like I read in a couple other places but neither worked. Its still crapping out and then starting a new song.
Just saw an update from AA so hopefully that works. Ill report back.

Has anyone noticed their music skipping? Poweramp/stock player. Its getting annoying as my g3 does it too. Is it an android problem or a phone issue? My phone is the h815; no root/bootloader is locked.
Update: I have emailed lg support and will hopefully get it dealt with. If its a phone fault I will just switch it for something else. This problem has persisted since the g3 and is just plain frustrating.
New update: I investigated my microsd card and have found there is a problem with it. When i transfer items from and to the card i get an io eror under Windows. I put my music onto a 64GB card and now the skipping appears to have disappeared. I was using a 128GB lexar card. I suppose the skipping could be from where the os cant read the file properly. It was doing it every minute or so.

FWIW, since lollipop I've had random music glitches when playing over bluetooth. This goes back to my HTC M8 as well. 4.4.4 no issues.... lollipop, random skipping/distortion. Usually most noticeable when the screen turns off/locks

Thanks for the response, I guess I'll just have to hope that the software developers find a way to deal with the issue. I'm glad its not tied to just lg.

I use Dogcatcher for podcasts during my commute. I have noticed the audio dropouts with Wifidirect/Miracast as well. This seems to happen multiple times per minute. As stated, 4.4.4 had no issues on my prior SGS4.

As I use Bluetooth streaming from my LG G4 everytime I get in the car, this problem really annoyed me. Like you, I had tried many different settings without luck. I noticed these issues mostly in Doggcatcher and Spotify, but also heard drops in waze and maps. My issue was due to the location settings.
In location settings, I disabled wifi and only enabled GPS. I also use quite a bit of Tasker and leave the screen dimmed while connected to Bluetooth as the mirracast that I hacked into my car won't display with the screen off.
The other setting that may help is set in a program called carhome ultra, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=spinninghead.carhome which is a great car dashboard app. The setting will slow the GPS update rate. My phone is stock and unrooted.
I hope this fix works for you. If you have any questions, reply to this thread.
I've been using Ghostrace with a Polar H7 and Jaybird Bluebud X headphones. While running and listening to offline Google Play music, about 30-40 minutes into my run, the songs start to get cut short and a new one starts, then, eventually, everything freezes and I have to reset by holding the button. My ghostrace logs are recovered and I am able to get all my stats, but they are broken and not very useful. Also, doing this 3-4 times during a long run is REALLY counter productive. My songs, even from the beginning of a run, seem to not finish completely before it moves on to the next one. It is rather annoying when you are expecting your song to continue and it just stops mid way and a new one starts.
I've done a factory reset and re-downloaded all my music and it still seems to be happening. A
Any suggestions?
Getting worse now. Can only run about 10-15 minutes and it starts to happen and then freezes. Factory reset watch. Cleared cache on phone and redownloaded and installed everything. Still happening.
Hi, just trying to figure out whats causing this bug, though yours sounds different in that you have to reset. I've seen other reports of it just resetting on its own.
Anyway, what version of Ghostracer do you have? You can see on the watch, on the 3rd page down. Just wanting to find out if its a new problem I've created or if its something to do with the google play update the last month.
Cheers
Craig

0.9.2
Don't really have a problem with Ghostracer. It seems to work fine. It appears to be a bluetooth issue (leaning this way since I started experiencing issues transferring files from my phone occasionally) or google play music issue since many times I haven't been using Ghostracer when the issue occurs.
Is it possible that sweat is the culprit? I have heard of people having problems with sweat during their runs messing up their SW3 - that's because although the SW3 is water-resistant, that applies to fresh water only, not salt-water like sweat. Try running with a sweat band under your watch and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for your info Colinmb, I was going crazy thinking I had broken something in the latest beta. So it looks like its a bluetooth problem created in the last update of the wear app/google play update, which came out around the 7th of November I think. Might make a post on the Sony site, see if anyone cares.
Problem solved with latest Google Play Services update.
Hello all.
This question isn't Pixel-specific (as far as I know) but I wanted to ask it here.
For the last week or so, my Pixel XL will suddenly and loudly play an the audio from what I assume is an advertisement video. If I unlock the phone while it's playing, the audio stops and there's nothing to see (other it it seemingly switching from landscape back to portrait).
I tried to delete all apps I've installed in the last 2 weeks, but it still happens.
Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue?

Try running some of the adware and virus scanners. There are some good ones on the play store now. I would suggest you also look at what services are running. Sounds like it is infected.
I tried running two of the top virus and malware scanners, and nothing was found.
Regarding running services, I don't see anything unusual in the list (from Developer options). But then again, I'm not sure what I'm looking for.
Try killing the processes until the audio stops. That should help find out the cause.
Best way to fix would be to do a factory reset.
Sounds like your best bet is a factory reset.
I think it's a Facebook issue. I have same issue only after playing video thru Facebook app.

Hello XDA,
I have reviewed everything that is out there on the internet and have not been able to resolve my issue.
I have LG G3 Rogers version, unlocked, never rooted. It used to work fine before. I started noticing my Youtube videos from the app stopped playing giving an error message (Error code is different every time) Youtube videos from the browser play but without sound, Instagram videos/live streams/stories (anything that has sound; IG videos with no sound when posted by the user works fine) stopped playing, spotify wouldn't play music but the timer of the track would keep going. This is with headphones, without headphones. Doesn't matter. Then when I restart my phone, the issue is completely fixed, for some time until it starts again. The way I know it will mess up is my pattern unlock sound goes out first. Then my lock sound and eventually certain key taps are not recognized. But again, when I restart the phone, everything is fine. I use Action Launcher 3, I've tried without it. I have factory reset my phone and I am running Marshmallow.
Any ideas? Much appreciated.
Thank you.

If you have been using it for more than three years in a row, The android version wears out... (gets old)...
you might have to check for system updates or (in rare cases (or) you cannot tolerate kinda case) you can flash another rom on your LG G3.
Android ROMs give you a better battery life (which also eventually wears out after three years of usage) and better performance...
Hello,
I got a new battery about 6 months ago so not so worried about that part. Is there any to troubleshoot and deduce what could be causing this issue?
Hello,
Quick update: I have not had any issues with the phone for about 2-3 days now. I had pattern unlock set on my device with rain dew drops as the dots. Since I've removed the dew drops, this issues has stopped. Currently I have knock code set on as screen lock. I will now try pattern unlock again, but with basic dots only to see if this occurs again. Keep you posted.
Got my phone today and installed the android auto app, enabled all the permissions, etc. When I plug it into my truck, the android auto tab shows up at the bottom for a brief moment, then goes away. I didn't have any issues like this with my OG XL(which also had 8.0 on it) or my OP3. I tried doing some troubleshooting by reinstalling the app, removing my phone from know android auto devices and enabling USB debugging. Nothing so far has worked. Anyone else having issues? Car is a '16 F-150. Thanks.
ETA: Well, got it working! Went into the app itself and it's settings. Under connected cars, SYNC was listed as "rejected". I cleared all cars and re-added mine. Now it's working great lol!
Pixel 2 XL connects very slowly with Android auto
Tried to setup Android auto head unit with the Pixel 2 XL after switching from Pixel XL with normal function. The Pixel 2 XL takes way longer than expected to connect with Android auto on the head unit but, it does work. However, I had to reinstalled the Android auto app several times to even get a usable configuration. I called Google support but, they had no answer about the problem as of Oct. 27, 2017.
Android auto 2016 VW Tiguan
I was having troubles getting my VW's system to recognize the phone. I kept getting USB device not supported. That is until I went into my cars android auto
menu and manually selected my Pixel 2 XL. After doing that, Android auto connects automatically when I plug it in.
Seems to connect about as fast as my OG Pixel (7.1.2 & 8.0), and op3t.
no issues setting up or connecting for me.
only issue I have is no ringing on incoming phone calls, I get notification and all, just no sound.
had this issue intermittently on original pixel xl also.
Negative.
Using a Sony XAV-AX100, works for maybe a minute sometimes at first. Then cuts in and out rapidly. Then other times it won't even recognize it.
I'm having issues as well. I have a 2017 GTI and mines connect similar as the pixel XL, the issue is that the Pixel 2 XL disconnect and reconnect often times and that's very annoying. Probably every 5-10 minutes. I have cleared cache and data from the app and reset the phone and still with the issue. It happens with 8.0 and 8.1
BTW I'm using the USB cable came with Nexus 6p. Have been using the same one since.
hmmmm 2 VW owners with this issue. No other vehicle manufacturer's mentioned. Looks like it's related to the emissions cheating if you ask me.
Just kidding. I really hope they get this figured out - I currently don't have android auto in my 2016 - it will be in my car I get next July.
Same Issue

I'm having the same issue. I have a 2015 Kia Optima and Android Auto worked flawlessly with my Nexus 6p. On the Pixel 2 XL, it disconnects every 5-10 minutes. Tried all the same troubleshooting steps with no resolution.

Exact same problem with xav ax100.
No problems with OG XL on 8.0
I think this thread makes it pretty clear this is a pixel 2 XL issue
It works perfectly in my 2017 Honda Accord. I upgraded yesterday to 8.1 and it still works great. And I have the 2 xl. It even allows me to use "hey google" in the car. Love android auto

Me too, with new 2017 Pilot, use maps, use ok google, send texts all without touching phone, love it.
Works like a champ on my Chevy where I used to have some issues with the onePlus 3t
First day it kept closing every 10 mins. Now it works perfectly. Not sure what changed. 2017 Ford fusion
Earlier this year I had trouble with AA stopping/disconnecting. I had a Pixel XL and a new crv. I read in a crv forum that Google Maps beta caused problems for some. I was on the beta. I deleted the app and got off the beta channel, then reinstalled everything. It worked well after that. That was 6 months ago, not sure if it applies any more but if you are on the beta channel & having issues I'd try changing. My son has a new GTI and also had trouble with AA. He was on Maps beta also and going stable helped him. You need to delete the app and its data then reinstall.
im having issues with it working then 2 -3 mins later i get error 12 and AA crashes :/ anyone else getting this

Fwiw. My fix was manually selecting my 2XL in my 2016 VW Tiguan's AA car's menu, after I did that it connects automatically every time I plug it in.
I 'Forgot' my Sony XAV-AX100 and reconnected and went on a 35 minute drive with no issues (see my previous post about my issues).
Time will tell.

I have the same Sony but I have no sound when navigating using Google Maps, It's the same for my OnePlus 3T as well ifI use the XAV-AX100. You can tell the navigation is running because it pauses the podcasts. Waze is working though.

Since they added Waze I totally gave up on Google maps...Especially because you cant get satellite on google maps.
