Hello,
Previously I made with my Samsung S7 contact through AAwireless with android auto and that has always worked perfectly. I mainly used Waze for navigation.
Now I have a Samsung S20 but Waze doesn't work well on it. After a few minutes, Waze freezes and is no longer usable. I have connected the mobile with the cable and then it aldo does not work correct. So it's not AAWireless.
I have adjusted the battery settings as far as I can find but the problem remains. And if I install other navigation systems (TomTom/Sygic or Google maps), then I don't have the problem. So it's really in the Samsung S20 and Waze.
Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

Hi guys,
the moto 360 doesnt connects to my phone. I hope someone knows a solution for this problem.
My situation:
The phone is a Lenovo S920 with chinese firmware. It has android 4.4.2 Vibe UI 2.0 and i flashed gapps-micro. the latest version of play services, google search and android wear are installed. Everything works perfect.
The website from google with the wear compatibility check works.
Pairing with the watch works also but it doesnt stay connected, just for a few milliseconds.
With other phones the watch is working and the bluetooth from my phone works with other devices, like speakers or computer.
For me it sounds there is a problem with the bluetooth. Is there a opperntunity to fix this. I'm wearing the watch since two weeks without any functionality. Well, it just does what a watch does, telling me the time
I fixes it. After I installed new firmware on my phone android wear asked for a permission to use bluetooth. But after any disconnection the pop up displays again. It doesnt remember my choice.
Hello, just bought a SW3.
Does Google Maps work with the built in GPS? I noticed that it starts to look immediatly for the phone...also is it possibile to move the offline maps I downloaded to the smartwatch internal memory? How does it work? I am new thanks.
I've got an LG G5 which is affected by the GPS hardware issues (ie GPS is non-existent) - my SW3 works fine in maps when paired to this phone so would guess the watches GPS is working well. Guess it could be using the phone to grab location via phone masts, but not as slow as phone location so doubt it.

In fact I was wandering if it was possible to use the smartwatch alone for running, with its built-in GPS (and perhaps offline maps loaded) but without the 4G connection of the phone.
Sony said the point of this smartwatch was to leave the smartphone at home, but I saw that the location doesn't fix if the smartwatch doesn't connect to phone first (Bluetooth and 4G).
Am I doing something wrong?

I have two of these devices. In order to use the google fit stand alone gps, i suggest that you turn off your phone or BT connection between the phone and watch as well as the wifi setting on the watch prior to a run. When you go outside, turn on the google fit app and wait a few moments while you warm up, this will give the watch a chance to lock into GPS. Then all you have to do is start moving and the standalone gps will work. The problem with google fit is that it so dependent on communications between the phone and device as well as not having a gps locking icon. I prefer to use Ghostrunner app for the sony smartwatch 3, its completely independent from the phones gps and has such a setting in the app to force the watches gps to work over the phone.
Thanks and what about google maps? Can it be used in standalone for running? Just for mapping andò routes
And what about runtastic? Can I use it with position on the phone turned off but watch GPS turned on? Apparently it doesn't work for me
I use mine for running and I use Endomondo. I just use the watch GPS on its own and after the run it syncs via bluetooth to the phone. I've heard there has been issues with this but with my LG G4 it's all worked fine.
Does anyone know how to use the smartwatch in standalone with Google Maps tracking while running? It searches for the phone connection everytime...do I have to turn BT off or follow specific steps?
thank you in advance

What do you mean? Maps doesn't record your path, if that's what you're after.
If you want to see yourself on a map, including your trail where you've been, use ghostracer. You can also load a gpx path and follow it on the map, but it doesn't give you navigation instructions, you have to watch for the turns yourself.
Navigation is in osm offline maps, but I never had much luck with it.
Hi all,
just a simple question - had anybody succeeded with MirrorLink? And with full phone mirroring (not just with the limited number of apps allowed)? If so, how? My A320FL is updated to the latest available Android 6.0.1, then rooted.
I tried several apps and guides together with two cars (Toyota & Skoda) with no success:
1) Samsung CarMode - the latest available from the market is not the latest, as I found somewhere here, but anyway: it doesn't do anything with Skoda and does show "Your phone is connected through MirrorLink" when connected with Toyota Touch 2, but shows nothing on the display. No option to start it is displayed on Toyota display, Skoda Amundsen says "no compatible app found".
2) LG MirrorDrive - does not even start, but it's shown as compatible app in Skoda. And once, I got the display in portrait mode shown on Skoda display for few seconds.
3) Android Auto - even though it's not accessible in my country (don't know why), I installed the latest version, but it is possible to start this app only on the phone, no car sees it.

Thanks for idea, but it's unfortunately not the right thing - this deals with app flickering when the phone is already connected via MirrorLink. In my case, I don't see anything related to phone display on the car's display. In the meantime, I found out, that the possible problem could be system incompatibility - Samsung supports only MirrorLink 1.1 and Toyota is MirrorLink 1.0 (that's why all the videos online with Toyota are shown with the old S3). I also found out, that Samsung dropped the backward compatibility on Bluetooth, so i.e. old integrated handsfree in 2007 Yaris is now unusable. Shame on Samsung, did those people ever see a car?
Finally, got it working. But not thanks only to myself
The first is thanks to Toyota - there has to be at least HE3934 firmware version loaded (that I found out only when trying to make the mirrorlink running in a new Yaris).
The second is, that in phone, only one mirrorlink app is allowed and it shall be LG MirrorDrive for make it running in Toyota (Samsung CarMode app supports only VW group vehicles - possibly because they provide VW with the whole infotainment and related electronics).
The third and most important is the cable - it has to be a cable that "somehow" supports mirrorlink - Samsung original cable is ok, but I firstly tested it with another "noname" cable, which works only sometimes. Only during longer continuous driving period I found out, that the "impossible to connect" periods happen when the phone and cable shake - maybe some contact is doubled in the original cable.
As last I need to say, that LG MirrorDrive mirrors any running app, but after you run an app, mirroring quits with message, that the function is not available during driving. But it starts the app in background anyway, so when you run LG MirrorDrive on the infotainment again (without disconnecting or anyhow touching the phone), the system opens directly in the app you started before. It's also good to turn off the notifications for LG MirrorDrive, as it shows a message about incompatibility every time it's started.
So I hope that the lines above help also somebody else.

Since receiving my note10+5g the goodle assistant either via the button or voice doesn't work when connected to my ford sync 3 head unit
My OnePlus 7pro works perfectly. I'm using the same build of android Auto on both. So has to be an Samsung galaxy note 10 or Samsung OS issue.
Any ideas

I just got mine on Thursday and noticed it being buggy as well. Also, my AA reverted back to the "old" style (for now, I'm sure).
My voice assistant is about 80% so far on my 6+ hot drive today, but I've been dropping in an out of service and roaming, so YMMV.
Hello there, current owners! I am thinking about buying this phone, but I must know whether the Android Auto feature works as it's an importance for me. Thanks in advance
Works for me with Ford sync 3 BUT I am not shure if it is not probably country dependant.
What is strange Androidauto icon dissapeared from the apps list but it activates upon connecting to car.
