S Voice isn't installed - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I noticed that the S Voice app was not present on this tablet. I tried to install the version of note 4 Android 5.1.1 without success. ... Is there anyone who has S Voice pre-installed on the machine and it can share the application. Tablet is WiFi 8 ". Thank you.

[Q] Gear and Note 8.0 3G right now?

Hi all, someone know if is possible connect a stock gear with a galaxy note 8.0 3g ( voice call )?
I 'll receive the note 8 next week and just find a special offer for the gear (200€ for only few pieces).
I think this is the best pairing for these product
P.S. Sorry for my fantastic english :laugh:
i am trying to figure out how to do it as i also have a note 8
It should be possible and most functions should work..
Gear manager will handle most of the connection stuff, so that won't be an issue, but i'm not sure about all the notifications..
I tried my gear with i9100 on 4.1.2, i9300 on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 (which worked a little better than 4.1.2) and i9505 on 4.2.2..
most of the functions worked, as i could make phone calls, 4.2.2 even loaded my contacts ! had no problem using the camera and have pics uploaded to my phone etc..
since 4.2.2 for Note8 is released, you should probably update.. i noticed that 4.2.2 handled the notifications a little better than 4.1.2 (but it doesn't do everything.. you need 4.3 for that)
1. update N5100 (or N5110)
2. install gear manager (you'll need the apk probably as it won't be available in the store i think)
3. connect your gear manually (no NFC available)
4. try to install apps through gear manager ! some devices show apps, others don't.. i'm not sure if the note8 will show any applications
5. if no apps (of only a few apps) show, you'll need adb or Wondershare MobileGo to install applications, but there's plenty of threads about that

Yes it works, but as it was already mentionned you don't have all the notifications, especially no text messages notifications. It seems that you need android 4.3 for that...
Ok, i want use the couple for work, use the Note 8 for take drawings and Gear for answer to the voice call outside my car leaving the tablet in my bag .
Maybe i will needed a headset, i hope not.

Android Auto voice Command issue on Tablet

Hello all, I am coming here because my limited Android knowledge and Google search has failed me. I am trying to make a voice activated Google Maps GPS for my father to use while trucking. He specifically asked for Google Maps because he uses it on his phone and knows the voice commands, but the phone screen is too small and a new law that just went into effect in my state makes it illegal for him to have anything in his hands. For a trucker, that violation could cause him to lose his CDL. SO I am trying to help him out with this.
NOTE: there is no Truck/headunit interface in this deal; simply the tablet acting as the Android Auto command point. The device has wireless data connection.
The hardware:
Galaxy Tab A 2016 7" 32-bit architecture
SM-T280
Lollipop 5.1.1
Kernel version 3.10.65-12484970
Google version - 10.92.10.21.arm
Google play services - 19.8.31
Google play store - 18.3.24-all [0] [PR] 288734092
Android Auto version - 4.9.594933-release (Sideloaded)
With that setup, Android Auto works, is stable. However, it is unable to do any voice commands. For example, if I say 'OK Google, open maps' it simply responds that is does not know how to help with that command yet. On My galaxy Note 8, this exact command works fine. I am wondering what service or item I need to sideload to force these commands to work. I am not averse to Rooting and ROM'ing if it is absolutely stable and as close to OEM as possible. I am trying to make this tablet GPS setup as seamless for him as possible, I will be using an app task launcher for when the device wakes up or boots, it will automatically launch into Android Auto for him.
Please, any advice or options would help. I was thinking to try and sideload/force everything to match my phone, but the tablet is 32 bit, and the phone is 64 bit so almost nothing can be matched due to architecture.
Interesting. My Tab S4 will not let me run Android Auto (tells me device is not compatible), but I was trying to AA into my Subaru head unit. My impression is tablets, or at least Samsung tablets, are not well supported in AA, either through intention or neglect. That said, does he really need AA? Can the tablet be set to never screen off if plugged in and he just run google maps straight-up on the tablet, using voice?

That's another idea I am going to try now. I think I can have Google Assistant and Maps launch at boot, and then google assistant might allow him to use voice commands such as 'navigate to xyz address' or so I am reading on Google Website. I am also experimenting with tethering widgets to make turning the data connection on and off easy for him when he pops in the truck. Plus downloading offline maps to the device as well, but I am wondering if there is voice navigation when offline.
I have exactly the same problem. I use a Lenovo Tab A7-10F with Android 5.0.
I installed the latest Google App, Google TTS and Maps (all 3 requirements for starting AA). AA v.4.5.592853 is working fine, but the assistant function in it not. It always answers "I don't know how to help with... navigate to New York" or similar. The same problem happens when using Maps directly.
Whereas when opening the Google App and ask something there works fine. F.e. I can start maps navigation with "Navigate to New York" or set an alert or similar.

Hey CJ, I haven't tested this in the hands of my father yet, but the solution I have been testing in my own car is I have Google Assistant and Maps launch at startup/unlock. Then, I have the google assistant voice matched so that it recognizes my voice and can be used at any time while the tablet is on. I then say 'OK google; Navigate to XYZ address' and it will open maps, set the navigation and begin in right away. This seems like the best solution I've come to in order to get around the stupid limitation on the AA voice command not working. I also downloaded the offline maps so that navigation will work even with weak cellular data signal.
So far that setup has been working. I had it tethered via Wifi Hotspot. I plan on finding a widget that will work for turning his wifi on and off so he doesn't have to navigate through Settings or worry about sliding down on his small screen when he is driving truck to activate. I have Android Pie on my phone and it seems like all the widgets for this stopped working after 8.0, so I can't test the viability of this tethering widget until I get his phone in front of me.
One thing to note; depending on the performance of your tablet, the autolaunch of Maps and Google Assistant on startup can be slow and cause errors. In one case I started using Google Assistant too fast and it just said 'something went wrong' and closed out. I rebooted and waited an extra minute and then it worked fine. This is on a Galaxy Tab A (2016) which is some very basic hardware compared to many other tablets.
I'll reply to this once I get this in my tech-challenged fathers hands and see how it works out for him.
Hi XTwarrior! Thanks for your answer.
Ok, I will probability also go this way and just use Maps with voice commands without AA.
Unfortunately I can't install Assistant on my tablet (Tab 2 A7-10F) due to Android 5.0 limitation, but the Google App works. With Google and Maps I still can use voice commands like " Ok google navigate to XYZ" and maps opens with navigation. But what is (mostly) not working is to further ask details during navigation such as:
when do I arrive?
Help
Exit Navigation
etc. They all are answered with "not sure how to help with [command repeated]..."
But strangely that works
How's traffic ahead?
Here is another nice trick described in this video : you could modify your Tablet such that it boots automatically when a charger is connected (i.e. starting the car) and shut down automatically after 20 sec of no charging connection (with a task of AutomateIt).

Wear os probs

hi team I have my p40pro plus and have gms installed. I have a wear os watch and can't get it to add my Google acc on watch. Has anyone had this issue and is there a workaround ?
Sorry, no work around for the account but you can use the watch by pairing it up without the wipe. Do a search on XDA as I found a thread that tells you how to do it. I had mine working with all the apps loaded via my account from an earlier phone.

Rooted Android 9, what is your working setup?

Guys, I've a rooted Moto Z2 force, I'm plannig to use it as an android auto device only. AA is not available in the play store, but I can sidelode any version (I've downloaded the 7.2.62).
I'm tried a couple of tools, AA Tweaker, AA installer, etc, but so far only the cartube application is showing in the car screen (but e.g. fermata auto is not)
I'm planning to use the some official AA applications
- spotify, gmaps, waze, abetterrouteplanner
and would like to have
-youtube, netflix and maybe carscanner on the car screen (in motion as well for the passengers)
Please share you working setup, which tools and which versions (including android auto) are you using with android 9 - or point me to a thread where it is already discussed
Hi.
I have a non root samsung note 9(android 9) with wireless AA set up to aftermarket smart module connected to OEM headunit in my peugeot. Uninstalled AA. Installed screen2auto with AA Ease. Downloaded and installed AA 6.6xxxx version. Activated developer options and selected download from unknown sources. Playstore forced update on my phone to latest version 7.1xxxx but kept original settings and third party apps. Enabled wireless projections on settings and this works quite well provided bluetooth pairing. So can use voice control to for maps, music apps and receive and send messages.

Thank you very much, the android version was the problem I've installed AA version 6.9.613744 (instead of the latest 7.*) and everything started working instantly.
Sorry to bring this topic up again, the solution works for me for a few days, than AA is not showing the extra apps anymore. If I uninstall and install android auto again, it works again for a few days. I have no idea why, is there a blacklist AA downloads?

My samsung note 9 is non root. I installed as described above and still have apps on galaxy note 8(android 9) and note 9 ( recently updated to android 10). You can try clearing cache of AA. But you should read through screen2auto rooted thread as you will probably find solution and/or somebody will offer good solution.

Yes, Google blocked again all 3rd party apps with Android Auto 7.1.
With 7.1 I have the 3rd party apps for about 2 minutes. If I don't start Android Auto in this time, I have to clear data and cache of Google Play Services and Android Auto and do all the setup again. That means I have to do this before every car ride.

Screen2auto 3.6.3 Xiaomi Note 8 pro black screen

Hi there, i have installed the screen2auto through the AAAD app, i did the right settings (i think so) and gave the permissions on Xiaomi Note 8 Pro (no root) but when i run the screen2auto 3.6.3 via Android auto i cannot see anything. If for example choose the instagram app or gmail app i can see only a black screen. Is there something i can do to resolve that issue? Or a good tutorial to watch and setup the right settings step by step?
Best regards.

Hi.
I have non rooted Samsung note 9 and using s2a 3.6.2 /wireless Android Auto connection in my car. I have been using it for the last 5 months and it works very well and the s2a app has not dropped off my AA apps. I started by uninstalling AA and installing older version of AA 6.6.xxx . Playstore forced update to newer version of AA. Under settings menu tap the 'Version' 10 times to enter developer settings. Under these setting select(tick) 'download from unknown sources', 'developer mode' and 'wireless projection'.
I know there is a newer version of S2A but I am using 3.6.2 version and will not upgrade because 3.6.3 may not work on my phone. Download S2A 3.6.2 and AA Ease page 94 of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rroring-only-for-root-devices.4062787/page-94.
Install S2A with AA Ease and this should install in Android Auto and S2A should show in app list or as one of apps under AA Version.
This has worked for me and not had to reinstall it on a non rooted samsung note 9. I can watch youtube, bbc iplayer but only get sound on netflix because of DRM protection. Also try AAAD because I paid for pro version and Carstream and Fermata Auto work on my phone/car head unit.
