Hi All,
Since last 4 weeks Android Auto isn't working properly with my One Plus 6.
As soon as I connect the USB with the phone, the Car HU shows "Android Auto Connected" & then there's a black screen. Nothing pops up any further in the Car HU.
I've zero clue so as to why all this is happening.
I've tired reinstalling but of no use.
Observation on Phone: When I click Android Auto app on my OP6, the App opens momentarily & then crashes. Second time when I try to open the App again it does open.
Unable to to use AA is very annoying. I'd be more than glad if anyone can come up with a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Received this phone (THL W8S) 5 days ago, and straight out of the box it has had a serious issue where the phone will lock up, the screen will fade slowly to black, and then reboot itself. The problem occurs both after factory resetting AND in safe mode.
The phone is unrooted and running the stock ROM.
Basically during use, the screen suddenly becomes unresponsive to touch and the physical buttons (home, volume, power) all stop functioning. As soon as the phone locks up this way, the screen slowly fades to black over about 60 seconds, at which point I have to leave it to fade completely before it reboots itself.
It happens most frequently when using any browser (stock, or otherwise) taking from less than 5 seconds to around 5min before the random lock up occurs) but also happens when scrolling through messages; scrolling through emails in either of the stock apps; using a compass app which came pre-installed (very quickly).
Initially I thought it might have to do with WiFi, but problem also cropped up with WiFi off, using 2/3G. Then in troubleshooting also managed to get it to happen using the camera (lot of motion, and repeatedly taking snaps).
Also odd is that the batteries I received in the box were generic black ones, not the official stamped/logo'ed THL ones I've seen on every website and every unboxing of this particular phone. So while there's a possibility this may be a battery issue, the fact that the phone hasn't done this while using a more battery draining app (Beach Buggy Blitz; Rayman Jungle Run) makes me think this is a deeper hardware fault related to , although I don't know enough about voltages and such to rule it out completely.
I have a couple videos showing the problem, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to put the links here. Should both be easily found by searching:

Hello, I wanted to inform you that lately the reboot occur concurrently with application updates.
They are like your impressions.
Best regards
THL W8S the screen fade and reboot too!!
Hello!
I received the phone on 12 September. The screen faded from the first minutes of use. Yesterday I came three times. In "THL mobile store" recommend updating the firmware. But the update I have not found anywhere.
any suggestions
Thank you very much in advance.
Has any one used Android Auto on Pie? During navigation it blanks out for a couple of seconds and then resumes for no reason.
Just checking if anyone else is facing a similar issue.
AA has been doing this during the beta stages. I have the problem where sometimes it works & sometimes just a black screen on Pie

I'm not having any more issues than the very rare issues I saw on Oreo where reconnecting resolving them. It'd be a black screen with just the icons at bottom. No difference with Pie and it's super rare.
I'd honestly check the USB cable you are using. Some are finicky. You can Google the most recommended ones
Worse...
After the OTA Pie update (VZW Pixel 2) my phone just goes into a charging/not charging cycle every 1.5 seconds, never connecting to my Pioneer AVH-2300NEX.
Doesn't seem to be the same issue as the Pixel XL not quick charging, but might be related.
I might just have to go back to my N6... The Pie update also removed the ability to unlock the bootloader.
Working here (using AA on the phone, not the car). Only issue is that, only when running AA, Spotify's track metadata doesn't show on the car properly over Bluetooth.
Was the same with Oreo (actually slightly better with Pie)
Google Play Music works fine
Spotify works fine outside of AA
Pandora under AA on Pie restarts every couple of minutes, interrupting the current song and starting a new one, with AA displaying an error message when it happens. Pandora also can no longer be launched by the app that's built into my head unit (2018 Outback), so these are probably both app issues as opposed to being in AA.
Hey guys,
I just got my op7 this morning, does anyone use google photo too?
I found when I used google photo to browse photos, the screen will automatically become yellowish, and I'm sure the night mode is close.
Can anyone help me to solve the problem? By the way, when the phone is charging, the screen will wake up in sometimes... also need some helps to solve it...
Thanks
That sounds really strange. Did you install any apps with eye care behaviour? Does a factory reset fix the issue? Can you post a picture of the issue?
Yes,, there is an issue appeared in after the recent update, in my case, When I am using the OOS with Night mode turned on, while opening images in full screen with in the Google Photos app, the Night Mode turns off automatically,
I thought that this would be a feature of Google Photos to show us the accurate color of the images, but on going back from Google photos, the Night mode remains turned off , I have to manually toggle the Night mode agian to turn it on , or it turns on during the squeal unlock, Assuming this could be an issue of Google Photos and tried to revoke the "Modify System Settings" permission, but still the issue exists. This is an issue of OOS , appeared in 9.5.6, still in 9.5.7,
Ever since updating to ColourOS11, android auto has been freezing on me when the screen is off however activating the screen will unfreeze it.
Is anyone else experiencing this or if anyone knows a fix besides 30m screen timeout.
The issue's been mentioned on a couple of other threads, from what I've read it seems to be a Android 11 issue in general, not just limited to Oppo / ColorOS. Haven't seen a way to fix this so far, seems like one has to wait for an update to fix it and until then keep the screen on...

Yea I had a look through some other threads. Turning off AOD and Fingerprint while screen off seems to somewhat work abiet still glitchly. Been in contact with Oppo who seems to only want me to send the phone into the service centre but I am waiting for Christmas break to be over and send it then otherwise hopefully a update by then but doubts.
I just had the issue, but by leaving it plugged in and letting the connection time out, it reset and connected. Took about a minute.
I finally got the ColorOS 11 update and now Android Auto is having this issue. Really rather annoying as I've only just got a new car and had Android Auto so was enjoying it!
Basically same issue where the car screen just locks up until you unlock the phone screen (i still get audio prompts for directions in google maps etc so Android Auto is still running). Seems to be a standoff between the OEM's and Google. Looking at other forums some OnePlus phones have the same issue (BBK group thing perhaps!)
Google answer...

I solved this issue going into developer options and activating the "keep screen on while charging" mode. The display will remain on, but with a very low brightness level.
Hi there,
Can anyone please let me know if android auto is working fine with this device?
Thanks a lot!
Android auto is working for me, but it's not fast, so sometimes you have to be patient and reconnect phone, because car screen gives error "device not responding, try again".
I use it like 3 days a week for many hours.
If you have bigger budget, then go for 9T or something with normal cpu
Thanks a lot!
