So there seems to be some type of weird bug with Android Auto and the GS8. Everything works perfectly fine but basically after 1-2 uses of Android Auto I always notice the UI will start stuttering and slowing down like crazy. At first I thought it was the launcher but it happens when you pull down notification shade and the multitasking view as well which is OS level. I also noticed that changing resolutions (FHD to WQHD or vice versa) would "fix" the issue until it happened again. Doing this resolution switch I believe kills all processes and clears memory/VRAM.etc.
So anyway, after days of trying to find the culprit I uninstalled Android Auto and did a reboot. Been over 24 hours now and phone is still as smooth as after a clean restart - I've used Maps to navigate and all the usual stuff I do in 24 hours without using Android Auto and it's still perfectly fine.
I really am upset with this because I loved using Android Auto - it worked perfectly. I'm going to wait a bit and see if they update either Android Auto and/or after the next GS8 software update. I doubt it's anything to do with Android Auto and more to do with whatever changes Samsung made to Nougat on GS8. Oh well.

Works fine and connects faster to my car than s7 edge.

What receiver are you using? I'm shopping for one and I have it in mind but I know the stereo companies don't really make firmware a big priority. Android Auto isn't a deal breaker, but it'd be good to know.
I have 0 issue with mine
I also have no issue with android auto, and I use it every day.
Yeah I had the weird UI slowdown 2 days after uninstalling Android Auto. I'm getting irritated now.

This.
Did you use SmartSwitch or another automated method to restore your phone? Android Auto doesn't like to be moved vs. installed and all the apps available for use in AA have to be installed after AA and not before. Try uninstalling AA and all the apps accessible to it and then reinstall starting with AA.
I'm having weird issue not able to connect my S8+. I don't see android auto on stock unit. ( Hyundai Elantra )

I'm using Android Auto just on the device with BT connection to my BMW which does't support Android Auto in the car. The app itself works well but after using it causes what appears to be UI slowdown with the notification shade and application switcher . I uninstalled it again and again the performance on my phone is better so far. I'm not sure it is causing some issue because it launches itself over the lock screen and whatnot. It functions fine but I haven't found anything else that helps with my phones performance than removing Auto. Will keep testing
I just got a Kenwood DDX9703S installed and Android Auto plays great with the S8.

Does your BMW support Mirror Link? If so, if you have a unlocked S8, it supports Mirror Link too. I haven't used Mirror Link in years and my car natively supports Android Auto but it might be a better solution.
using android auto on a kenwood receiver here, works fine to me no slowdowns
Y does Android Auto need Bluetooth ? Cant we use only with usb like CarPlay ?

Yes and I prefer to since my receiver has quick charge.
I have the DDX9703s and galaxy S8 as well. Everything is working fine but I'm not getting my text messages through the head unit. Did you ever have that problem?

Yes, though I'm sure there's a setting that's the culprit because I do get them sometimes.
Hey guys,
I've been having a strange issue with my KGL unit since I purchased it.
My car came from the factory with a reversing camera and everything was fine with it on the original multimedia system.
Since I've installed the KGL unit, the image i get from the reversing camera is mirrored... left is right and right is left...
Also it seams that the picture quality is a lot worse (to me it looks a lot like when you connect an NTSC signal to a PAL TV or vice versa)
During the day I can see OK but at night is is almost impossible to distinguish anything... (it was OK with the original multimedia unit)
I've tried different KGL MCUs, tried different settings in the factory menu, stock and custom firmwares.
When I purchased my KGL unit, it was a PX3, since yesterday I upgraded it to PX5.
Any ideas?
Never mind guys!
I've just flashed the latest HA MCU 2.59a on my KGL unit and oh miracle! The camera is no longer mirrored!
I'm happy now!
That mirroring can easily be fixed in settings, extra settings ,
I have a GKL unit as well , might try that mcu I'm still on kgl 2.54-4

Does it sometimes take a second or 2 even 3 to before see the image from the rearview camera on the screen after putting the car in reverse? My stock headunit used to switch instantly. This kinda bugs me since I need to parallel park in tight spots all the time. I just want to see if this is only happening to me or this is a known issue. Mine is a PX3 with 2GB ram with HA MCU.
Hi, I have an px5 xtrons and a problem with the clock on Android 8 (stock and malaysk rom) When I restart the car the unit have the old time of shutdown. (Unit connected to battery and no problem with android 6) Canbus is set on my model car and I have this problem, but if I set canbus model to none the clock works ok. I try to change canbus box but same issue. Anyone have a solution? Thanks
edit: even with the last malaysk android 6 rom same problem. Is it possible to solve putting downgrade version of clock app?

I've had the same issue for probably the past year or so when I first started playing with custom roms. I'm pretty sure it happened after doing an MCU update. I have GS PX3 MTCD running hal9 rom. I've tried disabling network time etc but no difference.
When booting the headunit the time appears to be correct, then it changes to the wrong time, then after a few mins when either GPS or wifi has got a connection it corrects itself. I haven't tried changing the canbus model in factory settings as it's already correct.
I've found that the Clock app from Google works. All other including the stock clock keeps the shutoff time.
same problem here after upgrading Xtrons PX5 unit to Android 8.... it seems that somethings changed in CAN-Bus communication. Where bevore the car could write the correct time into the HU it's not possible anymore and the wrong (stucked) time get written into the Dashboard. The time will not synced when the HU is in standby (fastboot)... but will synced within 1 minute if i make a full boot.

Hi I'm having the same issue with my xtrons head unit. Did anybody figure out a fix for this?
Hello,
I have the same problem. I have tried to add clock app to the whitelist, (mtce-utils) but It doesn't work. The canbuis I don't know is working correctly, Torque applicacion can not detect ODB unit and I can not view any value.
I set the clock to get the time from GPS only and I ve never had a problem.

Yes, but it only works if you have GPS connection (outdoor). If you are into garage there is no GPS udpate.
I have XTRON PX5 unit with Malaysk 8.0 and I have set the following things on whitelist:
com.android.settings
com.android.providers.settings
com.microtek.hctwidget
com.android.deskclock
com.cyanogenmod.lockclock
I have used mtce-utils ehitelist and Graser Daisata Xposed modules and none of them works.
I have connected the unit to the battery to avoid losing memory.
What can be the problem?
Thanks!
Same problem here :|
Android 6.0 clock also not working
As of 11/30/2018 after doing an MCU update 2.83 for Android 6.0, my clock also stopped syncing with the car's when turning it back on. It also display the last time right before the car was turned off.
Turning on/off GPS update or network update or setting the clock manually makes no difference and does not fix issue. Hope to see a solution to this.
If you revert back to the original MCU version, does the clock start working normally again? I'm assuming it would... I would just revert back to the original MCU version and be done with it. Unless, of course, there is some specific fix in the newer MCU that you needed?

Did you export you MCU config before updating the MCU ?
I don't mind reverting back to the original MCU version I had but the problem I had with that one was my audio kept going back to sounding like mono instead of stereo each time I started the car. When I played video or music sound would only come out on my right door speakers. I kept having to do a factory reset each time to get it to come out at both sides.
I haven't browsed through the forum enough to see if anyone else experienced similar issues or if there were fixes for this.

You could try the latest MCU, they may have sorted it out, you dont say what unit you have.
You could also try updating to Ore, it may also be fixed in the latest ROM.
Thanks I'll have to give it a try. My unit is the HA 2150 V600 with the px5 chip.
HI did anybody manage to sort the clock issue out on the headunits thanks
I have been having this same issue for a long time and hoping to find a fix for it.
I have tried the Google Clock app, that did not work.
I have updated my MCU from Ver 1.81 to 2.65 to 2.75 and now on 3.0.1. None of these MCU versions fix this issue.
I have also tried the V2.75_sp and no change (Did not think this would help with this issue, but tried it anyways)
On each of the MCU versions above, I have tired multiple roms (Stock, Malyask and Hal9K) and no luck fixing the problem.
The only time I have been able for this to work is if I have wifi enabled and connected to a Hotspot and Network time sync selected in the settings/Date&Time. With this configuration the time sync works everytime.
Now when the time does not Sync and if I open the GPS Plus app, the time displayed in the app is correct. So based on this, the only thing I can think of is that somehow the time from GPS is not being pushed to the clock app.
Guys I think I found the solution, at least it works in my case. What happens actually is that the unit is set to autosleep and not to shut it down. So when the unit goes to sleep, everything freezes including the clock time. When you put back the key contact, the unit goes back to live and all the apps start again from the moment when they went to sleep.
The solution which seems to work in my case, is to set the unit to shut down after I turn off the engine. Of course, it takes around a minute to turn on back when I put the contact key, but because the whole unit has been shut down, when it starts again it checks also the time clock and it syncs with either the GPS time or with the network provider time zone (depends what you have set). In my case I use the GPS time zone and with this workaround everything works well now.
It's not so much the MCU updates but the actual system update. Going backwards to the 20171214 system update will get the clock working fine again and should work with the most recent MCU update (my instance). With this version I didn't have to bother with changing the auto sleep or shutdown settings since it's an inconvenience to wait for a full minute for the unit to boot up. Also did not have to change GPS or network time sync either. I turn the key ON and the clock just works right away.
Hi guys
This device has just been launched in Ireland.. my current oneplus device is getting on a bit so time to upgrade...
Anyway,can anyone tell me if the mix 2s works with android auto head units in their cars?? this is kinda important as I use it daily for work as I travel a lot...
From searching on the web,it seems to be hit and miss with users getting two large black bars on their cars screen,so was hoping maybe the good folk here can chime in... maybe a recent update sorted the problem or something??
btw it's a kenwood head unit i would be plugging into
Thanks

Thanks man, I haven't actually got the mix 2s yet....
Does your mix 2 work in your car head unit without any issues????
or have you got the black bar issue like in this thread?? https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/android-auto-car-screen-t3833709
No any problem
Work well
After installation and before the launch of Android Auto
It is necessary to
Accept all permissions
Create a WiFi access point (menu - paramètres- Point accès wifi mobile )
Recognize on the car Bluetooth connection and WiFi connection by Access point wifi mobile
and only after connecting the phone USB cable to the car and running Android Auto
Thanks man,really appreciate your input...will take the plunge and buy the phone anyway

Android Auto works for me. Using Mi Mix 2s on latest mi.eu 10.2 (Android P). I have a KIA Rio 2018 which is compatible with both Android Auto and the Apple equivalent. Only hickup I've encountered is that Auto refuses to start Spotify/Audible/audio players when connected to car. Easily avoided by starting said app before connecting to the car. Minor bug but still annoying. This might be a isolated problem though since Auto isn't avaliable in my country yet. Other than that I haven't encountered any more bugs.

I can not use waze, always frozen when try to look for an address, anyone knows why?
I have same issue with Spotify and pocketcasts. So don't believe it's a isolated issue.

You have to give android auto and the music or whatever app you are trying to use the right to start other apps in the background. miui is limiting this by default, therefore you have to allow it first. after that this will work without a problem. it is in the miui seetings of the corresponding app, the top option "allow app to start in the background" or "allow other apps to start in the background". Something like that it was called
Ok,
So I got a on some recommendations here.
now what? Are there any custom roms I can use?
I would recommend read trough the forums...
And no, there are no modded Android 9 Roms at the moment.
You have to wait for Hal9k_ and Malaysk to come out with one when they are done.

I've spent hours on the forums but there is so much out there its hard to get a handle on. the last unit I had was a nu3001 and was a bit more straight forward.
I'm not sure I care about android 9 if there is a ROM I can put on mine that is android 8 or whatever I don't care as long as it de-china-fied. I'll continue to look but was hoping for a quicker answer as I'm about to pull the trigger on buttoning up the car with wiring and dash....
Thanks!

Your px6 came with android 9 anyway. There is no custom roms for px6 at the moment. With that said, android 9 is what I'm running (px5) and has been the most stable out of any modded ROM available from Hal9k or anyone else. You'll need to wait before a modded release is issued . They are being worked on.
For the time being, you could install FCC Launcher for A9. There's a thread in the forums here.

Furthermore you could root your unit aswell. Even it is just possible by using SuperSu at the moment with Android 9.
Youll find the guides in the forums.

My Dasaita Px6 head unit has been working flawlessly for a little bit less than a month aside from a few disconnects with Android Auto.
However, today my head unit crashed 2x. Each time I heard a speaker popping distortion noise for a second and then the head unit restarted.
The only app that was running was Spotify with the unit connected to my phone's hot spot. Weather was about 60F so it wasn't a very hot day.
Has anyone encountered this before and if so, do you know what might be causing it?

I'm having the same issue and was blaming Malaysk mod for this...
Have you solved the issue? I will go back to stock and factory reset everything next week (is there a MCU factory reset option?).
I too have experienced the same exact problem and it happens once or twice a day. The UI freezes for a few seconds then there is a loud crackling sound coming from the speakers for another few seconds followed by a crash and reboot. It appears to happen randomly when I'm interacting with apps and more than likely is not heat related since it's been only a few degrees above freezing here and has happened only a few minutes after turning on my car. I've also had freezes where the UI and all buttons stop working but the radio keeps playing and only a forced reboot fixes it. I'm on Malaysk full mod and plan to go back to stock to do some troubleshooting and see if it's hardware or software-related.

I tried going back to stock and changing many different MCU versions with the same exact issues you are describing: freezing or rebooting in the first few minutes after starting the car.
Today I had another new issue: I had one of the described freezes but after shutting down the car the display of Dasaita went black but the touch buttons remained on (LEDs on). I had to disassemble the HU to unplug the power cable... This is not a small bug anymore, this is a huge issue, I am trying to contact support with no answers. Did you find a solution or have any suggestion?
Do you have stock recovery? Do you know how to install stock recovery?
I also would like to factory reset MCU setting but I have no idea how to do it. Did you change any setting in factory settings menu? I'm worried that it could be something there.

I have the same issue sometimes my HU crashes with popping sound. I blame MCU 3.37 but i am not sure. Maybe i should re-update it without cfg settings files because i flashed it with exported MCU settings and put the cfg file next to the img file when i flashed the new MCU

Where do you get the cfg file? I always flashed MCU without cfg file but maybe we could get a cfg file from a device with no issues and flash it alongside the MCU.

You create it for your unit from factory config menu. Or document factory settings before updating MCU, right. Perhaps search for more info or read wiki.

You have a Dasaita MAX6, right?
If yes, can you send me a dmcu.cfg file generated with your device?
If you changed only that setting it is pratically a stock configuration, I think I changed something more...
I'm not sure if it is the normal behaviour but when I update the MCU or if I wipe data from recovery or if I do a factory reset from system settings, the MCU settings are never changed. My custom configuration is never overwritten or deleted.
Thank you,
