I have a JCV head unit I put in my car and Android Auto is finicky. Specifically the first time I click on Maps it just shows a black screen with purple lines. I have to click off of it and then back on for it to actually pull up. Second, when I make calls I cannot answer or hang them up using my steering wheel controls. I know for a fact it is due to the Huawai Mate 10 now because when I plugged my wife's Nexus 5x in it worked just fine. Steering wheel controls and all. It even showed the person who was calling in the Android Auto system and had an onscreen hang up button--with my Mate 10 this button wasn't even on the screen at all.
Has anyone else had issues or know what might be the problem? Guess I'm going to have to go back to Pixel if I can't figure it out...
Huawei Phone is well known with poor Android Auto support. Try to search the forum for similar discussion.
I cannot play music probably with my Mate 10 too.
I thought I was the only one with the issue. I've got to uninstall / reinstall that App to get it to work properly. Sometimes Google Maps won't display on my Pioneer, sometimes Waze won't work. It's been a PITA for sure.

I've only had my watch 16 hours or so (7 of which I was asleep), and I like it, and plan to develop apps for it..... but I have the following issues:
Updated (9 Jul)
Take a note voice command just sends me an email, instead of using something like Google Keep
The screen dims for a second before screen turns off (or goes to clock) - if I do OK Google during this time it ignores it
Set a Timer voice command does not work - options set an alarm menu
No music controls when I use default music player, or RocketPlayer Solved my Wear Music Controller
When doing a voice search, it often says Disconnected. 6 times so far, one time I had to restart watch before it could reconnect.
Dictating a longish email will eventually fail, even though it recognized loads of the words.
Step count often not updated on homescreen widget, despite it showing a higher number in the actual watch app
Dismissing a google now card (weather for example), you can't get it back if you did it by mistake
Navigation started from watch sits on Calulating route... if music playing on phone with screen locked.
Screen stays on while charging (reported by dunjamon) Solved by Slumber
I have it paired with HTC One S with Liberty S4 MAX custom ROM.
Anyone else have these issues (what device do you have it paired with)? Or know how to fix/work around them?
I have 4 and 7 8 D:
Number 1 confused me for a while. I searched everything on my phone before I realised that it had just emailed me. With number 7, I've turned off the step count...yet it still tells me my total of 0.
Also, is with the screen always on settings set to no, when you put it on charge the screen stays on. It's a nightmare at night, I have to turn it off and then boot it back up in the morning. There needs to be some kind of sleep mode or setting to allow the screen to be off while charging.
I've had 3 and 5
5 is a bit annoying. I'm hoping a restart means it won't recur as I go thru the day...

I didn't know about these developer options: Tapping build version several times works, same as a phone. The "Stay awake when charging" option is disabled by default however. I've only recently enabled the "always keep screen on" mode, so will be interesting to see what happens when charging tonight...
Regarding 1) It has started working! I installed Evernote for Android Wear from play store, also Baby Time and Draw Watch. I also resycn'ed all apps using the option in the Android Wear companion app.
Next time I did "take a note", it asked if I wanted to complete Action using Keep or Evernote, so I chose Keep. I also can see Keep in the list of apps on watch (before it wasn't there). The note was stored in Keep. Still works after uninstalling Evernote.
Regarding 4) I installed Music (Remix) Trial from play store, and Pause, Prev, Next actions are now on my watch. Unfortunately, the buttons do nothing. Not sure if this is an issue with my particular phone or what... Anyone else tried this app?

I've already disabled the stay awake while charging option. Unless it needs to be activated and then the watch itself to be set to not be always on. Will have another play tonight.
I've also noticed Keep show up in the apps now after another update. Will test out another note and see where it goes.
Got none of these problems with my watch. Fix for 8: If eg you swiped away the weather just say "ok google, what's the weather". after it told you the card should be back. this works for me, also with others like world clock, steps etc.
Just tried the screen off while charging and it doesn't work. The only way I can get the screen to turn off is to put it on charge and then on my phone set the screen to go off.
I actually have none of these issues...

I hope it isn't the case where everything will only work flawlessly with the latest Nexus devices. Have Google tested Wear with anything older?
I suppose it would make good business sense to encourage peeps to fork out for a Nexus 5 after spending money on a Wear watch...
Another issue I'm seeing is starting a Navigation from the watch won't work if I have music playing on my phone (phone lockscreen has music player UI). It just sits there on Calculating route... I'll add this to my list (and others from other peeps)

Number 4, music control, works well with Pandora. I like that I can start Pandora by voice, but there's no way to shut it down the same way.
Number 8, the disappearing cards was giving me hell on stocks. To resolve, I opened a browser on my workstation, Googled "quote xom" or whatever stock, and then the stocks card reappeared. I suspect a simple "Ok, Google...quote XOM" might do the same thing.
None of these issues. Nexus 5 Stock 4.4.4. You are also using a custom ROM so.....

No 3. Timer kicks straight into Alarm picker. Timer does work when you get to Google screen, swipe up and manually select it. But that's not a solution. I'm on stock 4.3.
Having the control issue with google play music and youtube when connected to chromecast he buttons wouldn't work and with youtube wven tho there was nothing playing the buttons were still on the watch and couldn't be dismissed
also having the connection issues if i take the watch out of the reach of the phone the app won't reconnect unless i go into the app myself to do it even then the watch says it's not connected when using ok google
EDIT: Happened again this time can't get the Ok Google working at all
Anybody else having issues where raising your arm to activate "Ok Google"isn't working consistently? We've got 2 watches in the house, and I've worn both. Same issue. Seems like if you don't use it for awhile, the arm motion won't wake the watch back up.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I'm having some of the same issues. I've had a few smart watches to compare.
-My Gear 2 worked way better as far as waking up when raising my arm. The LG G is difficult to wake by raising my arm.
-Bluetooth doesn't connect automatically when I get back in range of my phone. The other smart watches have done this that I have owned so not sure why this issue exists.
-There's no way to set the screen timeout. This thing times out very quick. Personally, I have no problem charging my batt every night so I would like to take advantage of the 30 or so % that is left on the watch each night by increasing the screen time out, vibration duration etc.
-I have a difficult time getting cards back after deleting even if I search for the stock, weather, etc. again.
-No way to reply to text messages.
I'll add more as they hit me.
Just received my phone today, and I was very susprised first that it didn't embed any gyro sensor (as it is very common in todays' phones) but only accelerometer and magnetic sensors. You can see that notably trying to play with google cardboard VR program which doesn't let you navigate in it..
But even more worrying, I noticed that the geomagnetic field sensor which can determine phone orientation (even without gyro) wasn't working properly..
Indeed, whyle trying to use google sky map app I noticed after 1 or 2 min that orientation started to completely mess up...
It seems sensor is loosing calibration anytime (usually in a few minutes).... I tryed many sensors app to be sure it wasn't software issue but they all fail the same way..
For instance if you try "Phone Tester" and go to sensors status, you can see in compass that there are 3 orientations:
- rotation which points directions (North -Est-West-South)
- pitch which is a rotation on 2nd axe (range going from -90° to +90°; 0° when phone laying on flat surface)
- roll rotation on 3rd axe (range going from -180° to + 180°; 0° when phone laying on flat surface)
As soon as you play with these rotations, you can see they are all okay for some minutes, but after a whyle, one of them remains stucked (for instance compass pointing South all the time) no matter how you rotate the phone...
This is really annoying as all apps relying on 3d orientation (Virtual Reality for instance) aren't able to work for decent time without going crazy. What is strange is that sometimes you just need to restart the app without calibrating sensor again to have it work again but only for 1 minute or so..
It is like if sensor needed to be reset all the time.
I don't know if this is firmware or faulty hardware?
Does anyone has encountered the same issue? I don't know if I need to send it back to store...
If anyone is willing to test using google sky map to see if he has the same issue as me, I'd be glad
I have the same issue using Google Sky Map. In my case, the effect is like the sky in the app vibrate. It happens to me from the beggining, when I start the app.
ok thanks for trying,
well maybe if it does this right at the begining is because you need calibration first? it would be interesting to see if you loose calibration then as I do..
But vibration is normal, it does this also with my galaxy note 8. What is abnormal is that at some point you don't see the sky moving as it should, e.g. there is one direction which is stuck. For instance, you look at south, and then you move your phone to the north, but it stays on the south.. we
but this might be a hint that this phone has an issue with magnetic sensors... maybe firmware issue...
Finally, I have observed that Sky Maps doesnt work as smooth as expected. I tried it in several phones (Xperia S, S4 mini) and i can check that it doesn't work as well as in the other devices. Also, it appears that sometimes one direction is stuck (as you say) but it isn't very noticeable and after move some times the device finally works. I think that is a firmware issue (I have the vodafone spain firmware 26.1.A.1.112).
I hope that my experience can help you
Indeed, your feedback seems quite similar.
I'm still thinking about returning it to shop and take z3 compact instead even if i would loose dual sim... Because im also bothered by the usb OTG issue reported.
Will see...
False alert?
To correct what i reported before. After further successful attempts seems like device isn't faulty and is behaving as expected when used properly . I think mistake was trying to use Google's Cardboard VR kit which simply doesn't work with this device because it doesn't have gyro. I think cardboard's magnet prevent compass from working as expected and might uncalibrate device as well. I don't know why cardboard exclusively use gyro and doesn't support compass as a way of moving head because it should works too...
Just in case someone would have the same issue.
Has anyone else had issues with Android Auto and this phone?
It's a complete disaster.
Google Assistant doesn't stay as the default Assistant app. It stops being the default app after two minutes so you can't even use Google Assistant on Android Auto.
Not to mention, Android Auto completely freezes in your dashboard screen if you use it for more than three minutes.
It's an absolute disaster on my end.
How has it been for you guys?
On my nex with global rom and VW touareg all is working fine. Maybe problem is with chinese devices?
Maybe... I am using the Chinese device
Same on Global Rom... Android Auto "restart" after 5min of utiliazation...
Have been using Android Auto from the day I got the phone and I must report that the above issues haven't ever surfaced.
What does happen regularly is that the music starts playing via the phone speaker on hanging up a phone calls. That's really annoying and requires disconnecting the phone from usb and reconnecting.
Anyone else facing this issue?
Bug AndroidAuto
I have the same problem, I use the Phone in Brazil with Portuguese PT (not BR) and the App seens restar when I use Waze or Maps.

Have you found a fix for this? Happens to me too, Android Auto restarts every 5 mins
Can't get Android Auto to see my car at all.
Android Auto/ settings/ connected cars/ doesn't even see my Kia Forte although after much work I was able to get the Bluetooth to connect to the car, so my contacts list and phone and music are accessible on the car system. I had no problems connecting with my prior Motorola MOTO G5 Plus.
My Global edition is working perfectly with Android Auto in my Hyundai. Make sure you're using a quality USB C cable.
I've had tons of problems with Android Auto on other phones though. A lot of times, clearing the app data helps it get going again.
background power consumption
For Chinese version, make sure you allow high background power consumption for google maps or any other navigation and music apps. Since when you are using Android Auto, those apps were actually running in the background and the phone will treat them as suspicious apps and close them. This can be done in battery settings.
So I've had my Mate 20 Pro for about a month now, and while I love the phone, there are some things that really bug me. Not sure if anyone else has run into the following issues but, if anyone knows of a fix for these things I'd greatly appreciate it!
1) Not sure why, but my car stereo cannot control (skip, go back) media playing via bluetooth from my phone. Find it odd due to it being compatible with my previous phone. Any setting I'm supposed to toggle or is it a stereo side problem?
2) When I am connected to Spotify to a bluetooth device, when waking the screen up, the 'Connecting to Spotify' notification is on constantly and in turn, blocks me from having access to spotify music controls from the locked screen. Anyone know how to block specific notifications from an app like that?
3) For the always on display, is there a way to get more notification symbols on there other than messages? I'd like to see from that screen if I have a messenger message or a whatsapp message and so on.
4) The last question is a bit more of a stretch, but I just received the official Huawei Smart View cover case, and regardless if I have always on display active or not, the small window only shows the time for a short period of time before turning off, and I am unable to see the time unless I open it or toggle the lock button. Any chance someone knows how I could make always on display stay on while using the official case?
I know the questions are all over the place, but I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks

Brother, may I know your car model and annual model?
Hey. PLEASE, does anyone know of any way at all, to disable okay Google detection, only for when the screen is off?
I am using wear OS, have the Fossil Gen 5, the assistant access is brilliant, but Jebus Cripes, it is useless when literally every time I try to use it on my watch, both it and my phone respond. I still want it to work on my phone, but when it is in my hand, there is no detection on my watch while it is showing the AOD so it works fine that way round. But I can't believe there is no way to disable it on a phone while it's screen is off. I believe there used to be, but they got rid of it fairly recently.
Edit:
Also another viable option would be an app or something that simply mutes the mic when the screen is off. I see hundreds of mute mic apps in the play store. but, they're all apps you need to open and toggle the mic system wide until you turn it back on. I don't want to have to do that every single time I put my phone down and pick it up.
