Carstream lagging on youtube and video player - Android Auto General

Hello. I have a problem. I have an S7, Oneplus 3t with carteam enabled (the car is skoda Octavia 3 with bolero mib 2). The problem is that the image on youtube is lagging and on video player as well. What I am doing wrong? On an J3 2016 with 720p screen all works much better but not perfect. On my iphone se with carplay and carbrige all works like butter the best, but with carplay I can't use 2 phones at once but with android auto we can. My primiry phone is an OnePlus 7 Pro and I don't want to switch to iphone. Please help me.

P.S. I think is a codec problem I don't know.

please help me

I find out that on my j3 2016 all works ok , but with my s7 does not. the 2 phones has lineageos 14.1 , latest andoid auto and carstream 2.0.2 fork. what to do to work ok on my s7 phone?

I have the same problem with lagging Videos from Youtube and online streaming portals, by using carstream. I tried different things like clear cache from certain apps, all apps, enable/disable USB debugging, tried out different mediasystem with android auto (Opel, VW) -> nothing really helped. Sometimes it is better, sometimes its horrible. Unfortunately i have no possibility to try out another phone. So i dont know if it is a specific problem only on the Samsung S7 or it is a problem in general. I´m using stock android 8 on a samsung S7 Edge.
 @cboghiu: Have you got a solution in the meantime?

The same situation in my case. Galaxy S7 and skoda suberb with Columbus radio. Additionaly carstream often didnt remember passwords to online web pages ex. Horizon go. Car stream keyboard doesnt have "@" button so is very difficult when login is a mail adress.
Could somebody fix IT?

Compatibility with Android Auto

Is there someone who could test the compatibility of the P20 Pro extensively with Android Auto? I suspect the general incompatibility (waze, Google music, in call screen,...) of the Mate 10 Pro is still not solved and till now not one review pays attention to this glaring issue. Curious if Huawei has solved this problem with this new phone.

Interesting. I'll listen here before buying, because I use Android Auto quite a bit, so if it doesn't work it's a no go for me.
Unfortunately the first feedback reports the same incompatibility as with the Mate 10 Pro.

I'm having issues connecting the phone to the head unit now with the android 8.1. It is telling me that there is a error code of communication error 6
This is diabolical, for such a basic functionality!!!
I am awaiting delivery of my P20 Pro, and was literally 5 minutes away from ordering an Android Auto headunit!
You have just saved me a lot of money... thanks!
Hopefully more people on here will be able to test.
For me, the only thing that doesn't work is Play Music. The progress bar moves but there's no sound. BBC iPlayer Radio and TuneIn Radio both work fine. No problems with Maps and phone.
It's poor at best, if you get it working leave it and don't touch anything.
Had a trip in partners Ford Focus - Sync 3 head unit, works fine with Pixel 2XL/XZ1 Compact but this just either didn't want to play anything or when attempting to read a message would give the error "voice commands not available at the moment" same when attempting to use voice commands as well. Once I did get it playing music and maps I just left it as I didn't want to break anything but still no voice commands available.
Looks like Google will be making Android Auto fully compatible with the P20 Pro. Looks like our phone is a big enough launch from Huawei to attract attention from them.

I'm using a P20 Pro. I have been using android auto in my golf now and everything seems to work fine. The only issues I am having are that I can make calls, but I can't see the phone call on the screen which means I have to use the steering wheel to hangup. When someone rings me I can't see it on my. Infotainment screen. Also can't see all of my contacts. Only my most recent. Hopefully there is a fix coming for this

Just received my P20 Pro yesterday, and just like my all previous Huawei phones (P9, P10, Mate 10 Pro) - it works with AA fine enough (only issue - call screen is not being shown).
It's barely usable...
Well it's my first Huawei phone (coming from an S8) and I'm a big fan of AA probably because of Waze...
Here are my remarks:
- Google Maps works from time to time
- Waze doesn't work at all, I have a black screen
- and for the audio it's impossible to switch between the apps and there's no audio
So unless you're using Google Maps extensively, I don't see why you'd use the P20 Pro with AA.
For those who are thinking how it was with an S8, well it was kind of a all or nothing experience. I've had periods where the phone wouldn't connect to AA and suddenly start working again.
I have also noticed that the cable quality is very important.
Android auto working fine for me. Only issue is the phone charges very slowly when connected. My one plus used to charge much quicker when connected to car head unit
Hello I've P20 and vw sportvan, no map (waze or Google maps)... I've black screen. No sound when I want to use Google music... I hope Huawei make something to solve this....
I have AA in a Pioneer headunit, working with a P20 Pro, I get audio issues with Google Play Music, waze works fine...
Got a P20 Pro and Android auto is working perfect in my Volkswagen Passat GTE. Been using it daily and everything works fine for me including Waze and Spotify

Doesnt Work
Pioneer X8800BT headunit worked flawlessly with Sony Xperia Z5 Premium so it's not the headunit.
Waze worked for a hour or so with audio then this became a black screen. Google play music "plays" but no sound comes out. In the end I had to unplug the phone from headunit (which I paid good money for) and use the unit as a dumb bluetooth speaker while using Waze directly off the phone...
I think I'll be returning it and getting a Pixel 2 XL unless someone can give me hope that there is work being done to solve this? I don't want to root it just yet because my credit card / banking apps stop working.
Shame as it's an otherwise excellent phone - but this is a deal breaker for me.
From my point of view is essential to have a quality USB cable. Everything (Waze, Google maps, call screen) works seemly with original cable delivered with charger. With another cable work call screen only, Waze and Google maps shows black screen. With cheap USB cabel my mobil phone (Huawei P20 PRO) doesnt connect to car (Hyundai i30 2018).
yesterday an AA update hit the play store. anyone tried after that?

Yes, no substantial changes...

Car Bluetooth Audio Metadata Issues

I have just got my P20 Pro, it seems like a great phone so far, but I have one nagging issue.
When I connect my phone to my car's (2015 BMW 3 Series) Bluetooth the now playing metadata of the audio being played is not being passed correctly. So if I play audio from Google Play Music or Pocketcasts the head unit on my car will show either Unknown Track or the track data of the first item on the album or the playlist. The audio itself sounds fine and I am able to skip tracks, select new albums from the car's controls, so it seems some information is being passed correctly, it is just that the info of the track that is currently playing seems to not be working.
Has anyone else encountered this?
At this point I have to assume it is the phone, as my Galaxy S6, S7 & S8's all worked, but I guess it is technically possible that could have been a workaround put in by BMW as they were such popular phones. Hopefully Huawei will sort this out, it may be an underlying Oreo issue as threads like this suggest that Bluetooth issues were around when 8.0 launched https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/E9Q2lyFYRgI
I have done some more digging on this issue and I suspect that is might be something to do with the Bluetooth AVRCP version that the phone is using. Normally in Android (since 8.0) you could adjust the AVRCP version from within Developer Options, but for some reason this is not available on this phone. My Galaxy S8 was using AVRCP 1.4, so I suspect that this phone is using 1.5 or 1.6 and my car does not like it.
I have emailed Huawei to ask for clarification. At this point it is the only real issue I have with the phone, but it will annoy me if it isn't resolved quickly. I'm going to pester BMW too to see what versions of AVRCP they officially support.
Don't have these issues in the car, head display current track etc via Bluetooth ... Use this in a Nissan
Everything works as it should with my Pioneer headunit using Spotify
I just posted something related (possibly) in the RAM/Battery Management thread - I have issues with the Audi MMI Connect app, losing connectivity and so on.....does seem that the P20 Pro handles Bluetooth (no rsap?) and background process management quite differently to my previous phone (Galaxy S8+)....also hoping quick resolution, as love the phone!
Search facility not working in car
Hi
I've just put music onto my P20 pro and it plays fine on the device and the car, however, I can't use the search facility on the car (BMW, 3 series, 2017) to change track. I can do this on the phone. Any suggestions? I put the music onto the 'Music' app (dragged and dropped from my iTunes folder- don't know if this is relevant. Any help would be greatly appreciated as without being able to use the car's search facility and come in and out of albums/ artists is useless. Should I have put the music into somewhere else?

P20 PRO and BMW - bluetooth issue
Bojanglez, did you find a solution? I got the same issue with P20 PRO and BMW X4... so it seems a problem linked to that phone connected to the BMW multimedia system.
With my previous phone, an ASUS Zenfone, everything was fine.
It may be a BMW issue to, maby P20 pro isn't compatible with BMW or Audi. I know that some manufacturers put all in to be compatible with ios and some larger manufacturers of phones. It could be that car manufacturers don't test Huawei phones and don't support them.

No Huawei Garbage bloatware issue, my is random something is normal, most times it plays music but gets stuck on providing music playing info.
Same issue here with my 2016 Toyota rav4. It plays the first track and shows the metadata but then as the tracks keep playing the metada remains the one of the first song. Definitely an issue with Huawei. Their music player works just fine. I think it has to do with the poor Google integration and their need to force that half baked apple wanna be emui down our throats. It should be Oreo but looks and feels like gingerbread.
Hi all, I have an update. I have resolved the issue, but not quite sure which of the following specifically fixed it.
Huawei software update
Renamed by phone in Bluetooth settings
Updated to the latest BMW firmware (from their site)
Messed with some of the Bluetooth settings in Developer Options on the phone
Unfortunately I did all these at pretty much the same time so I can't say for certain which one fixed it, I think it was the Huawei software update as after I updated my BMW firmware I still had the same issue and also in other BMWs I tried. I also noticed that the Bluetooth was dropping constantly in my wife's Puegeot 3008 so that's why I played with the Developer Options. For anyone interested I havethe following now set:
Codec: SBC
sample rate: 44.1khz
channel mode: Stereo
LDAC playback quality: 990kbps/909kbps (optimised for connectivity quality)
HWA playback quality: Best effort (400KB Optimised for connectivity)
HWA Latency: 50-100ms
So I now have track information and basic controls using Google Play Music and Pocketcasts. It does not seem to like letting me browse my library though, but it is at least functional.
Also I changed my car, this was not because the BT didn't work It worked in my 2015 3 series before I changed it. I now have a 2018 4 series and the behaviour is the same, track listing and skip functionality but no browsing.
I have installed the most recent firmware update on my 2 Series 2017, I see two fundamental issues. One is, by using your phone normally, no issues should arise most of the time but still random sync issues with metadata can occur. The second issue is, no matter how good your phone behave and how well synchronized the metadata is, once you open Android Auto app, everything goes to hell and you are back in square one.
To fix it, you should deactivate auto start when connected in the app (or not using it at all), erase your car from devices in bluetooth config within your phone. Erase your phone from the list in your car. Change the phone name. Start over with the synching process. Check for correct metadata in the car. If not working repeat. That should fix the problem eventually.
If you like very Android Auto very much, get used to see the songs information in your phone screen rather than the car.
I am also having the same problem, Huawei P20 Pro and Sony XAV-601BT head unit. I've tried enabling all the permissions in Spotify, cycling the connections, renaming the phone.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. anyone else here having similar issue??

YouTube stutters while using bluetooth audio

Hi,
I'm currently using my P30 Pro and it seems that there's no way to watch a youtube clip without stuttering. My colleague has got the same problem on his phone.
When using my Bose Soundsport Free , YouTube keeps lagging (only the picture, not the sound). I already tried to reset my phone, delete all data of the app, and changed the codec.
The problem also appears when connecting to my car (youtube stutters). Please note : that was only for testing.
The bose Soundsport free did work without any problems on my Galaxy S9+. I'm also using the newest update.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I think there was a similar issue with instagram also on the previous build. Are you sure you are on the latest build ?
I updated a few days after the release of the phone to EMU 9.1.0.124.
My colleague's phone was using the previous one.
I'm having same problem with Bluetooth audio streaming, I'm on latest firmware...
Huawei phones are (in)famous for aggressive battery management.
I had the music stuttering issue with MX Player on P20 Pro & it only went away if I suspended power management for the MX Player app.
I have had issues with Bluetooth stuttering as well, on Samsung, Skullcandy & other noname knockoffs, but only in public transport where tons of other bluetooth devices are live in close vicinity.
However, on he recent software version on the P20 Pro & now the P30 Pro, I'm seeing the stutters less & less.
Not a solution for your issue, just my observations.
YMMV
This is happening on my p20 recently and it's super aggravating. It will work if I shut the screen of but if Im trying to watch a video I'm pretty much SOL
Hi I found the solution! Go in developer settings and change your Bluetooth code from AAC to SBS. AAC seems to be cpu intensive, therefore causes choppy video. Good luck!
For those facing this issue on Android TV youtube app, using bluetooth headsets, go to settings -- Device Preferences -- Sound -- Under Digital Audio Format, select Auto...restart.
This solved my issue

Galaxy Watch 46mm with P30 Pro

Hello!
Coming from a Galaxy S8 here.
Is there full support / compatibility to use the Galaxy Watch with Huawei P30 Pro?
Is there any missing functionality or issues?
Thank you!!
I have used. I don't have a Samsung phone, but think that the watch is full support with P30. I am very happy. Only problem is that the connection is lost sometimes and must reconnect, but it is rarely.

Nice to hear that.
Do you know the range of bluetooth to get the watch connected to the phone? Have u ever tested this?
Thanks.
i have the p30 pro and galaxy watch 46mm works good, just a disconnect here or there but there's no trouble in connecting to watch to p30pro...
works good throw Bluetooth
I have the Galaxy S10+ and the P30 Pro. I have not experience and random disconnects when the Galaxy Watch is connected to my P30 Pro and the P30 Pro actually holds a better Bluetooth connection to the Watch than the S10+ .
I have the Galaxy S10+ and the P30 Pro it works perfectly fine you just have to download samsung wear for it to work
Well, here I'm having some problems.
When my GWatch disconnects from my phone, in the most part of time I need to reconect manually.
Also, the weather isn't working here. I touch "weather" widget in the watch and it shows me to add my location in my phone. When I open the galaxy wearable app, I go to apps and then "settings" in weather, whatever option that I select (that are only two: Location and Settings) the screen blinks and comes back to the main menu of apps.
I did a factory reset in the phone and also in the watch, but the problem still there.

Apart from perhaps Bixby, all functionality seems fine on my Watch 46mm. I can’t spot the difference between having it paired up with P30 Pro vs when I used it with my S10+
Install Galaxy Wear and Samsung Health apps on your P30 Pro and you are good to go.
Be aware when you want to pair with a new phone the watch is reset so make sure you have a backup of any settings, faces and watch apps installed
Does this enable you to use contact less with the watch too?
How do I connect my p30pro with my galaxy watch as it only able to via Bluetooth I can't use it via a network?
I have Galaxy Watch 42mm and have few problems but nothing important all other things work fine... But you need download some Samsung **** apps to watch work proper with P30

Question Tab S8 keeps saying connected without internet - While using Youtube

As the title says, I only seem to have connectivity issues with my Galaxy Tab S8 when I'm using the youtube app. It will frequently claim connected without internet. Also that was with using an Arris G34 Gateway (modem/router in 1).
I can play Dragon Quest Tact for 3-4 hours straight or facebook or any other game really without it doing this. It seems that the second I switch to the youtube app is when it decides to do this, just got this thing about 4 days ago. My tab s6 lite, S20FE, roku streambar, xbox, alexa & lg tv do not suffer from a similar issue as this one... Is there an easy fix for this or did I just get a bad tablet?
I don't have the exact same issue, but did have for a couple of days the issue with youtube not wanting to load videos. When it eventually does, the quality is at the lowest format...changing the quality results in video not playing. I uninstalled the app, restarted the tablet, re-installed youtube and no issues so far
