AAWireless - General discussion and support

[cript0n]

I contacted support and we went through all the possible settings again. In the end, I got a new adapter and no more problems since then. I therefore assume that it was the device.

Did you buy a new one or they sent you a new one? I put in Contact with them and they ask me for my AAWireless-****** device number. Lets see what they say. I Will put here as soon as they answer me.

Edit:. They answer me: "This is unfortunately a phone side issue which we cannot help with. You can try different Wi-Fi channels using the companion app.". I tried several channels and nothing... So It is Xiaomi problem. Hope the fix It soon.

First post after using AAW successfully for months without issue. Unfortunately also have GPS issues. Thought it was my phone but tested this for a few days connected with AAW and then directly connected to car. AAW has been constantly failing to get GPS lock but no issues directly connected to car via cable. I am running what I believe is the latest version 2.1.0. Phone is Oneplus 8T on Android 12 but since I've seen reports of different phones, going to say it's this version of AAW. Please let me know if there are any potential work arounds, settings changes. I've always run with the stock settings without issue. Car is 2019 Jeep Cherokee running UConnect.

What do you mean with it? are there any other devices? i have a galaxy s21 with latest android 12. as I have already written, with the new device i have no issues. maybe you can get a new one as well if you send yours back.

I meant if you bought a diferent device instead of AAW. But now i see they sent you a new one. For me, as i told you before, they amswered me that is Xiaomi Phone problem that they cant solve. So lets wait Xiaomi fix It some day on next uldates. Thanks.

Sorry, I must have missed it.
maybe it's not a specific problem, even if they say it is. ask if you can get a new adapter if you send the old one back. they can only say no

Xiaomi Mi10. USB default Mode. Passthrough enabled. Dongle Mode disabled. Wifi set to 5Gh and highest Channel. Everything works fine till I loose data Signal in mobile phone and it doesn't reconnect again unless I turn off the car and turn it on again. My car: Corolla MY22 with smartconnect. I read most of the thread about disconect and reconnect but nothing solve my problem. Any tip to get reconnect by itself as soon as the data Signal come back?? Thanks!

I have a very similar problem, but for me, AAW reconnects itself after disconnecting. So it's not as frustrating as yours. Xiaomi POCO F3 phone, Skoda Octavia 3 car.
I received a message that XIAOMI phones will disconnect WiFi when mobile signal is lost. And now I don't know if it's a feature or a bug. If it's a bug, there's hope for a fix (I'm waiting for Android 12), if it's a feature, I have to learn to live with it.

I have the same disconnections with a POCO F3, but since AAW 2.0.1 firmware (or possibly dongle mode?) my calls no longer disconnect when the phone cuts wifi. Android Auto stops working but the call continues seamlessly. I have to reconnect AAWireless manually when this happens, but all other dropouts reconnect automatically when I’m not on a call. My route even continues in Waze so I can live with this.

I considered switching to PixelExperience many times, but the potential issues and quirks that people report always seem worse than the disconnections. I also thought about going for a Pixel 7 then I see various posts about connection issues. I’ll hold out for the official A13 based MIUI and switch to a Pixel if Xiaomi still haven’t fixed the problem by then.

Hey @Snirpo , could you please get me back to regular update branch? Thanks.
( AndroidAuto-AAW89883494 )

After trying the 2.0.2 for some more time sometimes it worked but now it's most times not working that good anymore, too. I found two things
1. I had no issues most of the time when I would completely disconnect/decouple phone, car and AAWireless and reconnect everything from scratch
2. It feels like I have fewer problems when using 2,4Ghz instead of 5Ghz WLAN. With 2,4Ghz there are some stutters every now and then but it feels like on 5Ghz those would have been disconnects instead of stutters.

You're back on the regular branch. It doesn't sound right though, good chance your device is defective. If you contact support ([email protected]) and reference this post, my colleagues will take care of a replacement.

Question on [removed]

This works as described, wireless AA, YouTube, Netflix good now.

Does it work with Car only? or can I use it with TVs?

​

It’s 10 times the price of a Chromecast so you clearly have no interest in using it on a TV. You need to be more creative with your very obvious advertising spam.

What / Where was the question ?...

 

[festor]

I removed their link and image from my post. It was someone promoting an android head unit adapter from a dodgy website. It was even more obvious from their history.

If I knew that admin would be so efficient at deleting their account, I wouldn’t have replied

I have recently discovered that using android auto would cause my ringer/notification sounds to stop working after its disconnected. I would require to restart my phone to get my ringer back. I am on S22 Ultra AA 2.1.0

I have tried resetting the dongle, have not tried factory resetting my phone yet. anyone has experienced this too?

I'm also an AAWireless beta tester;

I've tested Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite;
With my Kia Rio from 2017

Hi, I just got my AAW a month ago and It has the same exact issue, randomly disconnects on my Peugeot 208 (2023). It reconects but I have to select the AA app on the screen. I also have a POCO F4 and I've always felt that MIUI software is too aggressive or has issues cause youtube music app is always closed (not running) in the mornings or after a while. Its annoying having to disconnect the AAW dongle or go into airplane mode, open YT music app and then reconect the phone.

Are you sure YT Music is set to Autostart? I don’t have that issue myself, but I don’t use the app that much. It wouldn’t be a surprise if there was a weird issue with YT Music though, the WiFi dropping when the mobile data connection is lost has been an issue for over a year.

If you haven’t done it already, change the app to “No restrictions” under Battery Saver then padlock the app on running apps screen (press and hold on the app). You could also try running in performance mode, but none of the apps I use in AA need to be running on the phone first. They only need Autostart to be enabled.
