Hello everyone!
I'm having an extremely frustrating issue. It seems that no matter what I do, I cannot make this phone work with Android Auto. I saw one other thread on here regarding AA, but there were no solutions and I wasn't sure if it was the same problem or not, so I thought I'd ask you all for some help.
My car is the 2016 Chevy Spark. AA worked perfectly fine in this car with my LG G3 on both Lollipop and Marshmallow.
My current phone is the KIW-L24. When I first got it, it was on Lollipop. Android Auto had zero function--the phone didn't even detect it at all, it would only charge. I tried several different cords, pre-installing the AA app, every USB mode and debugger mode, nothing. I updated to Marshmallow. I tried all of that again. After that, I began to wonder if maybe the issue was with the Emui OS. So I installed Resurrection Remix. With Resurrection Remix, I have actually made some progress. Using the cord that came with the phone, I can plug it into the car and get the Google Play Services notification saying that my phone is connected. However, when I first connect it the screen just goes black for a second, then goes back to the home screen. Despite the fact that Google Play Services says it's running AA, there is zero projection happening. Just that notification bar, and the Android Auto app as a black, unresponsive square if I check my currently running apps. If I tap it to open it, I just get the same flicker of a black screen before returning to my home screen. It does, however, say in the AA app that it has been paired with my car. So it's sort of working... but still doesn't appear on the car's touchscreen.
I read on one forum that a newer update of Google Play services apparently messed up AA for some phones, and was wondering if that could be the issue. However, when I try to install the apk for 9.0.83 (which was apparently the last one to work), it just says "Application not installed." Because of my inability to downgrade to that version, I've been unable to test if that is the issue.
I have tried calling the Huawei Support. They basically just said "We don't know--tough luck."
Does anyone have any ideas that might help? One of the reasons I bought this car in the first place was that I really like AA, and I seem to be one of very few people to encounter this issue. All I want is for this phone to do what it's supposed to do I'm already sort of feeling hopeless, like I threw my money down the drain with this phone. I would prefer to stay with RR if possible, but will really do anything to my phone if it means getting AA to work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Car: Chevy Spark 2016
Phone: Huawei Honor 5X
Model: KIW-L24
Current OS: ResurrectionRemix 5.7.0-20160626-kiwi
I have the same issue running the unofficial CM 13 on my Honor 5x and Android Auto on a Honda Civic EX-T 2016. Phone charges just isn't detected at all, don't even get a USB type option like when on a computer (the options for just charging, mtp, etc).

I'm in the 2016 Civic Touring, same exact issue, but even charing is iffy. On a nightly of CM13 for my Honor5x from like 2 weeks ago, hadn't seen any mention of improvements and was wondering if it was worth upgrading to a new build?
My Honor 5X worked fine with Android Auto on Lollipop with my Kia Optima. When I upgraded to Marshmallow the audio stopped working. I went back to Lollipop and it worked fine. I wiped my phone then updated to Marshmallow again and it works fine with AA again.

I installed android auto and it says "incopatible phone". How did you get pass that?
I never saw that message.

So i'd updated to the nightly build on the 10th, and it worked fine for a few days. Now im getting the incompatible phone message, and updating to the latest nightly didn't fix it. What happaned? Was there a silent Android Auto app update that i missed?
I am trying to figure out what makes this issue happen, unfortunately I can't find an explanation.
maybe u should do a factory reset

Try a factory reset or a clean install.
I did a clean install of the CM13 nightly 10/22, no change. Wondering if anyone else has android auto working on any of the newer CM13 nightlies? The last one that i had that worked was an unofficial built from like 9/20, before it got official support.
I am on stock marshmallow and Android Auto doesn't work either.
CM 12 on an S3 Mini works fine.

You can extend your concerns with the CM13 developers.

In a couple hours I will try my 5X stock on my brand new car. Will let you know.

I have a feeling you will be disappointed. It seems both the stock ROM and custom ROMs don't work with AA.

Ok. I didn't know how to use, therefore I could have done things not in an optimal way, but it worked. I could see Maps and notifications from, for example, WhatsApp. I did nothing extensive, but it seems to work.
My feeling is that it is slow, but my 5X is slow doing almost everything

That was with a USB physically attached to the car, right? Recently AndroidAuto made an update to connect to cards with BlueTooth, but that does not do screen mirroring FROM phone TO car. (aka, everythign still shows on the phone and not in in-dash infotainment unit).
Yes. Connected via USB cable.

Hello everybody,
Since the OREO update, it is impossible to connect dji drone to your phone.
That say if someone find a workaround, lets us know
If you want to flight your drone, do not update your phone... I seems that the USB detection is lost and not stable....
Cheers
Hi, for me everything seems fine. I've used DJI go 4 app on Oreo few days ago and didn't have any problems. Do you have issues when connecting to controller or to drone?
mmmh have you wipe your phone after the update?
the phone is recognised 1 seconds by the app and then disconnected. Le remote <-> drone link works.
I have tried to reboot everything, update drone and remote.... reinstall dji go 4... nothing change.
my last idea is the factory reset but I would like to avoid this solution..
Thank you for your feedback

The actual workaround is to downgrade to android 7..
OK for LG G6 Android 8.0.0 + DJI Spark + RC (no cable)
Hi all,
I'm from Italy.
I received Oreo Android 8.0.0 on my LG G6 yesterday and I have just done my first flight with my Spark without any problem.
So, for me everything it's all right.
I didn't use the cable between rc and phone.
After a downgrade to android 7.0, everything works fine! Not satisfied with this workaround but i have not found a better solution
Hi guys and gals!
I've recently purchased my DJI Spark and wanted to connect it via OTG cable to my LG G6. Seems like I've hit the same wall as you, meaning G6 doesn't connect to RC anymore via OTG cable after the Oreo update.
That said I started an official thread on DJI Forum and also contacted LG Support department. Agent that I talked to, promised to pass the issue to another (appropriate) department for the investigation.
It would be great if all of us contact LG and report this problem. Maybe, in that case, they would release some fix (maybe with next update) for something that apparently worked perfectly fine with Android 7.0.
hey everybody! I got h870ds and mavic pro and had the same issue (phone couldn't connect to dji go app, though drone was perfectly connected to RC) after oreo update. What helped me was downgrade of drone and RC's firmwares using DJI Assistant to previous version. Today I launched the drone, everything went without any problems.
I didn't want to downgrade my phone bc I love oreo much more than nougat on lg g6. Hope my story will help you guys. Also I would recommend using dji assistant on mac since windows version was kinda buggy (no progress after reaching 99 per cent) just fyi
To which exact version have you downgraded RC and Mevic firmware?
What about DJI Go app? Which versing are you using?

In this terms dji go app version is not key factor. The latest actual version of the app should work perfectly
speaking of the drone and rc, I installed 01.04.0300 (february one) for both devices. The one I had problems with was the latest 01.04.0400.
I am not telling you that this was the root of the problem but results are speaking for themselves: now lg g6 with oreo connects with RC and drone.
Ok. I'll not be able to test this as I have spark and it didn't follow the same firmware numbering.
Maybe others with Mavic Pro and LG G6 would benefit from your finding.
Out of curiosity, what made you downgraded the firmware? Did you know it's gonna help or just trying different things?

I tried different cables, different apps, different combinations of powering up sequences, using debug mode - none would do the thing. I ve seen messages about downgrading the phone but for me it was not the option since I was really waiting oreo update and I liked it. If downgrading rc and drone wouldn't work I have a backup xiaomi redmi note 2, that still works ok, but videostream was lagging as well as the manual commands (lame backup phone).
Hi.I found out that contact DJI was useless.They won't fix the software problem.They only tell me is to swap to another capable phone that DJI supported.
Got exactly the same answer yesterday in my thread in Dji forum.
There is one other way we can "force" DJI to do something about it. One guy on DJI forum made the thread in the form of poll/vote for people experiencing the same issue as he did to vote.
Then he opened DJI support ticket and linked that thread.
Finally DJI acknowledged the issue and fixed it in one of the next releases.
UPDATE!
One of the users called Plujesz from the DJI forum found a way to connect LG G6 running OREO to RC via OTG cable. The workaround is pretty simple and works for both DJI Spark (I checked that myself) and DJI Mavic Pro. Have a look at this video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_4tltiX3uk&feature=youtu.be
I tested this workaround on the following setup and it worked fine:
Spark firmware: V 01.00.1000
RC firmware: V 01.00.0600
DJI GO 4: v4.2.21
LG G6: Oreo (V20b-EUR-XX)
All credits go to Plujesz for finding this workaround.
Works for me
With my spark and the latest version of firmwares and app today 2019/03/08.
I went using the debug mode until I got a stable connection (it stops vibrating and it appears that a device has just been connected).
After opening the application without marking that always opens when you connect that device, if you mark it there is a problem and you have to delete the applications that are opened by default.
And finally you have to close and reopen the application.
I have just aquired an Honor 10 and gear s3 watch. Try as I might, no amount of clearing data/cache has worked. Everything reinstalled multiple times... I have upgraded the firmware on the watch by pairing with another phone.
Basically the watch will pair with the phone, but the app/plugin crashes as soon as I accept the pairing. I think the S plugin fails to open, and the galaxy app then crashes. I'm not sure if this is better posted here or in the gear s3 forum, but to be honest this is driving me mad.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could throw any light on this!!

Don't really have experience with this myself but I heard that majority of non-samsung phones have issues with Samsung galaxy gear watches. You might consider refunding them and getting some wear OS watch instead, snapdragon 3100 for watches is launching soon and it'll be better anyway.
Gearbest is selling the GTR international version that supports English. I'm in the US and I was wondering if I buy the international version now, will it be 100% the same as the US version of the GTR when available?
Another question. Is a phone with bluetooth 4.2 compatible with the new Amazfit GTR bluetooth 5.0?
Usually there are only two versions :Chinese and International, there was never an US only version of BIP, Pace, Stratos or Verge...

This is text from Xiaomi Today: "Being the smartwatch, the Amazfit GTR concludes multiple connectivity options for better performance. It comes with jam-packed features like Bluetooth 5.0v for wireless connectivity". It doesn't matter which operating system running in yours device, bluetooth technology in all devices is just bluetooth. So if is written 5th version, that's mean must be 5th version and it's doesn't matter iPhone or Samsung, Xiaomi, Sony, Huawei and ect. android or Apple's software.
I can't quite follow what Xiaomi Today is saying in your quoted text. Will my phone need Bluetooth 5.0 for it to work with the GTR? Or will 4.2 be compatible?

With a quick google search I found that the watch has Bluetooth 5.0 or 4.2 LE (and there where shops naming both -.-), it may be the different released versions... Sorry for the comment but... Chinese being Chinese...
Anyway back to the question, I found an article pointing out that Bluetooth v5.0 is backwards compatible with v4 and also improves the connection, hence, it should work.
I guess the confusion is that the articles I have seen only mention that phones with Bluetooth v5.0 will work with accessories (speakers,watches,etc) that only have Bluetooth v4+ and not the other way around. Do accessories with Bluetooth v5.0 work with phones with only Bluetooth 4+?

I'm not aware of a pairing issue. Where are you hearing this?
I read under some YouTube comments. But back to the first question it will work correctly with 4.2 Bluetooth system or we need 5.0 on our phone. Any experience? (I talked some people but all of them used Bluetooth 5.0 so now I don't have correct info about working with older sys). I want to buy this watch but I have a xiaomi mi a2 lite and now I don't want to change the phone

I'm still waiting to receive my GTR so I can't answer whether a 4.2 bluetooth phone will work with it. Being that only a few high end phones with bluetooth 5.0 are available at this time, I would think we'd be hearing complaints about the GTR not working on older phones (4.x). So I'm leaning toward it will work fine. I will come back to this post to confirm the 4.2 question when I receive my GTR.
What do people think the outlook is like in terms of updates to this watch, new faces etc?

Amazfit ensures that GTR paring works fine starting from Android 5.0, and there were no Bluetooth 5.0 devices at the time it was released. That's why I assume that a 4.2 Bluetooth phone will have no pairing issues.

Xiaomi devices are known for their popularity in the developer community, I expect the same to continue with this device. The Mi Band 4 was recently released and there are already over a thousand watch faces for that bad boy, and it has already gotten a few firmware updates.

Hello,
I just received the beautiful Amazfit GTR 47mm aluminum version. I made all the updates of the watch, the font, the A-GPS... but the GPS can't be found / detected in France! I stay more than 3 minutes in the same place, in a clear place where there are no or very few buildings, but the GPS doesn't work...
I compared with my Amazfit Pace... which finds the GPS signal in less than 15 seconds! Look : i.ibb.co/8z5rwzZ/pace-vs-gtr-fr.jpg
By the way, I already reset the Amazfit GTR, I restarted the watch several times, I did the calibration to the compass. Nothing works
Someone had the same problem?

For me everything work ok on GTR Global version...
For Compass did u make this (∞) motion?
One more thing, this ceramic bezel is very soft, I already have a micro scratch! I didn’t drop it, I take it off at night ...
I can confirm, that GTR (international) pairs with my iPhone7 (bt 4.2) no problem. Battery life seems very good 4% battery used on the first day and night (with all the initial tinkering with a new toy ) without continuous HR and gps.

Hello i have a similar problem. GPS fixing is very very slow and GPS isnt working until A-GPS data is updated. But i can't find anywhere in Amazfit app where i can manually update A-GPS data. Do you know is there any option in Amazfit app to update A-GPS manually? Also have alluminium Aloy version.
Hey guys!
Bought myself a Stratos 3 early this summer which was replaced under warranty because the battery was drained in a few hours, GPS unable to locate etc.
However, I could pair it with the (then) Amazfit App on my iPhone 11.
Last week I got my brand new replacement device which is impossible to pair with the (new) Zepp app. I’ve tried a million tips found online but it just won’t pair with my phone. I’ve scanned the QR code about 5000 times without success.
Tried with a friend’s Samsung model whatever and managed to link the device to my account. Then the watch is “unlocked”.
However, when trying to open the settings I keep getting the message “Unfortunately settings has stopped”. It still won’t sync with the iPhone and when resetting the device to factory settings I’m back at square one, unable to pair with iPhone.
Latest firmware in place according to the device when it’s “working”.
I’ve already contacted the company I’ve bought it from and I will return it the coming Monday.
However, I do like the looks of it and functions (when it’s working) so I thought I’d check with you guys if there are any ideas to get it working properly.
Thanks in advance!
Just update thé watch to latest Fw (search New Fw from the watch connected in WiFi) the app is unable to find it.
How do I do that when the watch says it has the latest fw?
Connect the watch to the WiFi then check update from the watch
So, i did pair it again with the Android, updated the device to latest fw.
It still won’t sync with my iPhone
Wonder if it’s something wrong with the Zepp app?
Anyway, I’ve had it with Amazfit. I’m returning it tomorrow.
I’m sorry to hear that, hope you approached [email protected]
I did the same thing, made a video and shared it with them selling hello. Eventually with a lot of issues. I gave up on the Stratos 3 Watch.
Now I don’t have to worry.
Plppppppppp
I haven’t reached out to their support, I cannot really see that they could help me out with this.
Anyway, fed up with trying to get it to work with me so it’s being sent back.
Might get an Honor Magicwatch 2 instead, they seem quite similar both in appearance and function.
Are you sure?? Does it work with iPhone as in iOS
As a last resort sort of try, I reached out to their support but to say the least, their support sucks a*s!
Haven’t sent it back yet, but will any day now.
Can anyone confirm that their Stratos 3 works fine with the iOS Zepp app? Particularly, Stratos 3 and an iOS iPhone 11? The fact that the watch works fine with Samsung Android devices but not with my (or anyone else’s iOS) device suggests that it’s their iOS Zepp app that’s corrupt!
Thanks!
Here many problems with iOS an Stratos 3. But same problems with both Zepp and Amazfit
New Zepp update for iOS released today
They’ve released numerous app updates during the past weeks/months but none of them has cured my problem
I’m traveling today but will check when I get home, fingers crossed.
Nope, doesn’t work.
With this I give up on any Amazfit/Huami watches (and all other products).
When clearly pointing out that Stratos 3 and the iOS Zepp app doesn’t work, total silence from the Amazfit support.
Never have I had a worser customer experience but I guess that I shouldn’t expect more..
