I have an issue with Android Auto refusing to start. I always get an error: "Something went wrong: Google services doesn't seem to be working at the moment" and the app closes.
Stock, locked, global ROM pie.
Any idea on how to get it working? Thank you!
Problem solved. You need to disable dual apps.
In my case it does not work at all... I connect the phone, start android auto (and it starts on the phonefine, no problems) but nothing happens on the car side. I don't have dual apps enabled. Tried with USB debugging on, but still nothing. Running latest MIUI 10.2.1.0. Anyone can help? With my previous umidigi phone it worked (most times). It's like neither can see the other connected...

Hi guys,
After many hours and days of searching google for a solution to this I'm still stumped.
I have a Galaxy S i9000 running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (had same problem with previous versions also) and I am trying to connect it to my Nokia 616 car kit in "hands free" mode, however, it keeps automatically connecting via "remote sim mode". I can confirm there is no way to disable rSAP (remote sim mode) through the nokia 616, nokia staff were not very helpful either.
There was an option in my old Samsung Jet (i think it was running touchwiz) bluetooth settings which allowed me to switch remote sim mode on and off. The only setting that exists on my SGS is after I connect to the nokia 616 i get the "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode?" option from the drop down bar... However, when I do so, the connection to the car kit is lost and upon reconnect it automatically connects using "Remote Sim Mode", regardless of how many times i try an "deactivate" it...
The only posts I could find about deactivating remote sim mode tell me to hit "Yes" to "Deactivate Remote Sim Mode", then to switch bluetooth off and then on. This does not solve my issue. Problem persists.
The only thing I can think of now is somehow finding perhaps a command line instruction that I can run from terminal to disable remote sim mode or even change a config file somewhere to deactivate it.
Does anybody have any idea how this can be done or maybe just give me a lead on where I can search next, I've hit a dead end with this now and im sure it can be done, somehow.
Thanks heaps for your help.
I'm sorry I cannot help you with this problem, but at least you're not the only one: I have exactly the same problem, but then with a Nokia 616 and a Galaxy S2.
I want it to connect with the normal HFP, so I do not loose the internet connectivity on my phone...
SOLVED Finally!
So after a while of searching then giving up, then contemplating ripping out my nokia 616 car kit and setting it on fire, I decided to revisit this issue and here is how I managed to disable/remove/deactivate remote sim mode or rsap... please note that I havnt really tested to see if this affects any other bluetooth functionality (i dont think it does though) so do at your own risk...
I ended up flashing my galaxy s with Darkys rom 10.2 extreme edition which gave me some nifty options of removing some stock bluetooth apps... I noticed there were a number of bluetooth related apps there, Bluetooth.apk , BluetoothOpp.apk, BluetoothPbap.apk, BluetoothTestMode.apk and the devil himself BrcmBluetoothServices.apk... at first i uninstalled them all except Bluetooth.apk, my phone starting throwing some bluetooth error which was expected, these errors disappeared after I rebooted the phone... I noticed that the 616 no longer connected using rSap (victory!), however, I was almost certain that not all of the apps i removed above would be causing the issue, and im sure that if anything having them removed would cause issues elsewhere so the process of elimination began... I reinstalled them all again, rebooted my phone, sure enough remote sim mode was back, then one by one i uninstalled, rebooted, tested, etc etc untill i came to the conclusion that the app responsible to rSap was in fact BrcmBluetoothServices.apk, after uninstalling it and rebooting Hands Free mode works a treat, I still get a "download error" when i try to download my contacts to the 616 but Im not to fussed about it, at least i can still use all the functionality of my phone in my car now, internet etc etc... as mentioned earlier I dont know if this will have any effect on the other uses for bluetooth so do be careful, not a huge issue because it can be easily reinstalled if nessecary using DarkysRom Tool...
Now I am sure this can be done on a stock firmware, you would most definitely need to root the phone and then find some sort of system app manager to hunt down BrcmBluetoothServices.apk and remove it...
Thats it! If anybody can work out how to successfully download contacts to the nokia 616 please post it here or pm me.
Does anyone have a method for completely disabling or removing Android Auto? Every time I plug my phone in to charge in my wife's truck, it pops up and I have to say "no." I don't have the app installed and the required software will never land on my phone (stripped down Lineage OS install). Is there a system app I can remove or setting I can change that will make it stop popping up?

There should a setting in the radio to disable Android Auto. In my Ford it is under Android Auto settings.
My wife uses it, so doing that would increase the number of steps that I have to take. (Would have to toggle off while I'm driving and remember to toggle back on when done so she doesn't get annoyed.) I'm trying to figure out how to disable it entirely or block the intent that signals it to start.

It shouldn't be starting should it? When I plug my sons phone in which doesn't have the AA app installed it doesn't start AA on head unit. When I plug my phone in it says something like AA device detected & AA on the head unit starts. So something must be wrong with trucks AA, I think, or maybe different car manufactures do things differently?
Are you sure you can't install app on your phone? If you could install the AA on your phone there is a rejected car list option, you can add your wife's truck there and it won't start… I guess (as I've never used that option)
Alternatively you could just use one of those cigarette lighter USB chargers… I have one of those as passengers are always running low on battery LOL.
Installing the app requires installing and enabling at least one other piece of software that is well known for being bad for privacy: Google. Putting that on my phone is a non starter for anything. It's worth trying to see if I can change that setting without having to install all the dependent software though.
Just wondering if you were able to solve this? I have the exact same issue. Crazy thing is that I had gotten rid fof the annoying Android Auto prompts but then the super helpful techs at Samsung screwed up my phone trying and failing to do something else. Now the prompts are back and I can't remember how I got rid of them in the first place.
what about a cable like this ? https://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-Micro-USB-Cable-Charging/dp/B0088HTYUE
Please help. I highly recommend nobody update Android phones! Android auto does not stop popping up and is extremely annoying. It doesn't work. And causes all kinds of delays and disrupt other applications that work fine. Anybody know how to get rid of the current Android auto that was updated today?

So you are saying Android Auto was installed on your phone by default & you can't uninstall it? If you can't uninstall AA you could "freeze it" with an app, Google "freeze bloatware" there are a number of ways of doing this (even without root) depending on android version
But first is Bluetooth auto start turned off? Have you added car to reject list in settings?
If that doesn't work you can activate developer options & set USB Configuration to "charge only", though that might stop USB working how you want when connecting to something else. Or use the charge only cable as mentioned above.
Does anyone have a workaround about how to connect androidauto on MIUI?
I plugin the cable only got a blackscreen (the phone screen freeze as well)

I don't get a black screen at all, instead I get an error message about "no installed apps work with this usb accessory".

go to settings to allow android auto to autostart, you will get rid of the "no installed apps work with this usb accessory"

Just tried that didn't work same error. Even reinstalled to see. I know auto start if disabled can cause notification missed issues on other apps.

initially I have the same "no installed apps work with this usb accessory" as well, but all I do is opened up all the permission for android auto and other google services, and I got a black screen during connection.
What I notice is on CN version even if you allow it to auto-start, and the phone knows that(it pops a notice saying do you want to start android auto?) the android auto does not response to the start command it seems result in a black screen.
I'll try the permissions can you let me know which apps aside from Android Auto you flipped the permissions for? Let me try to get to the same spot as you.

I spent quite a lot of time on this. There's something broken on the Chinise firmware. I also got the pop up and then phone freezes. I tried beta 12.5.2 and still the same issues. I don't know if 12.5.3 fixed this, since I move to the global ROM - where Android Auto works just fine.
Also, I tried many many apk versions of Android Auto with the same luck...

I have encountered this in other phones like oneplus 8 pro CN version ROM, My guess is that all the CN ROM lacks a small crucial permission for android auto to start normally during the connection, but the thing is we don`t know what it is.
Well even without the Android Auto installed I get that USB message so I guess it didn't make a difference installed or not permission and what not. Something is just not registering with the phone.
What are the draw backs with a global rom and also does that enable smart lock? That is something else that seems to be missing from MIUI.

Android auto wont work on CN rom but on the EU rom it works just as you would expect, also wireless Auto works as well.

I am facing the same issue. Did you find a resolution for it?
don't forget to use original usb c cable (only one works with me)
I faced a bunch of issues too.
I had to do two things:
1) change my crappy USB-c cable
2) go to apps, manage apps, search for Android auto, then clear settings for Android auto: first cache and then all.
After I did that, I was greeted by the android auto setup and all work out!
Hope this helps!
Ps: I'm on 12.5.4 global
same issue with K30 Ultra China rom. i got this issue after upgrading to MIUI 12.5.4 from 12.0.20. every worked in last ROM but appeared right after i upgraded to 12.5.4. Has anyone fixed it?
Without the Android Auto installed I get that USB message so I guess it didn't make a difference installed or not permission and what not. If your phone is facing issues or slowing down because of Android Auto then you can disable Android auto. That is something else that seems to be missing from MIUI.
I'm getting this issue with my Mi 10 Ultra (Chinese version) MIUI 12.5.6.0
Any practical fix so far (without the need to flash any other rom)? This is really annoying!
If anyone finds this on google, clearing play services data solved the issue for me.

Switch on Hotspot on your phone, connect your car to your network and update the system/check for updates. Once updates are complete, you should be able to connect
After update to MIUI 12.5.1. (global ROM, official), all "remote" apps stopped working. Samsung remote for TV, Marantz AVR for home theater and Heos app for CD. Tried to reinstall and still doesn't work. It just can't recognize device on same wifi network. Worked fine on previous ROM, 12.0.3 I think it was.
Android auto, never worked. When i try to connect it with a car, nothing happens; phone asks to choose connection type and that's where story ends. All advices from web doesn't have effect (not using dual apps, tried to clear cash...)
Phone is still locked, stock condition when bought from operator.
Anyone have any idea how to solve this...?
Update: After auto update of MIUI Launcher and google security patch, all problems solved.
AA stil not working smooth
I have two OP's now, an 8T and 10 Pro, both on Android 12. While the 10 Pro came with 12, the 8T was just recently upgraded.
Neither of them will start Android Auto without me first unlocking the phone. This problem only started on the 8T after the 12 upgrade and then the minor update that followed.
I noticed when I unlock my phones the popup to specify what type of USB connection pops up, (charge only, file transfer, etc) - so wondering if this is part of the problem? I tried setting the default to file transfer which is the option for Android Auto, but I still have to unlock the phone every single time I connect to my car.
Did something change between 11 and 12 that would make this happen? Is this a bug?
Does anyone else have this issue, or a resolution idea?
TYIA
Try disabling the screensaver on your phone. I had similar issues on my OnePlus 7Pro, though not on Android 12. After I disabled the screensaver, it connected fine.

Thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by screensaver? Oxygen OS, at least, doesn't have anything like that in settings. We have a "lock screen" but I need security on my phone so I can't disable that.
I did find a "trusted devices" section where your phone will remain unlocked when it detects things like a location or connected device. I added my car to this, but it still doesn't work. "Trusted Devices" still requires you to unlock phone once before it works properly once connected, just like my Android Auto is doing
I went into developer options and set the default USB configuration to charging/Android Auto. It still shows when you plug it in but my phone still works with the screen off. Also, check the settings in AA as there is one which you have to toggle for starting Android Auto when the phone is locked.
