Android Auto - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

So Huawei devices have been having a lot of problems with Android Auto, the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro inclusive. They cannot connect and leave the screen in the car black after a connection attempt has been made.
Huawei is working on this and it should be fixed in OTAs, which some users of other devices reported to be the case for them.
Since I'm stuck on the European version C432, I haven't gotten any OTAs since B156. Is anybody on newer firmwares able to test if the problem has been solved for them?

Works fine for me on C432B181. Worked on B176 too. Didn't try on B138/B156.

Yeah, it's great news. Doesn't seem to work for the Mate 9 Pro yet, since it doesn't have a SD card. But there must be a way around this.
Hope updating to newer firmware will fix the problems with Android Auto, since this is my biggest concern with this phone.
Thanks for the answers

Really? Damn.. there doesn't seem to be any consistency to this.. what model do you have?
Which version of Android Auto are you using?

No problems whatsoever for me either. Mine works perfectly.
However, when I had my Note 4 I had to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work. It took weeks of investigation and trial and error. It's simply a very inconsistent app. And from my experience, type of car and google services version play as much of a role as your phone's firmware does. Visit any other phone sub forum if you need proof of that. It gives problems on all phones.

Actually, once AA refused to connect. Only way to fix it was to redownload and reinstall Android Auto. Make sure you're on the latest version too.
It didn't leave the screen black though, just refused to connect.
Latest is 2.2.710804, and you should probably get the arm64 version.
I had to get it from apkmirror as it's not released in Sweden yet.
I guess it's worth a shot to reinstall/update.

If this is the case, rebranding might be our solution!

Oh.. then it doesn't make sense.. might still be the case, as I have the Mate 9 Pro.

Any change? Just got a vw golf with android auto and am mega frustrated. Black screen because the phone keeps switching from USB data using mtp to USB charge only.
Mate 9 with uk firmware
EMUI 5.0.1
MHA-L09C432B198
Check for updates says there isn't one.

You can and are supposed to use charge only for Android Auto, not mtp.

[G920I] [ZEROFLTEDV] Galaxy S6 Discussion, Custom ROMS and more

I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Can you advise your software details as the Australian variant hasn't had an update and I'd be interested to see the difference in software.
I wonder if the Edge has had an update as well?

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

Apparently it is not a normal feature and samsung has been made aware of this issue and they are working on it. Saw this today on the xda channel.
Whew, just got this today.
Are there any custom ROMs for the S6 that are in development?

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.
I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.
Thanks Jedi.Tester

althou this was a few weeks back, as ive been on the leaked Nougat.... but thought i would email them anyhows !!
but they never replied back after stating that i had the Active, was on nougat, and that i had followed links from their site, and the google play store had sttated not compitable on my version too ..
hope they do get it sorted thou.,.. very much liked it !
even tried to get it via a backup from MM, but didnt work .
The exact response I received too. I've even use Samsung's main contact us page, still no response.

Spent time with Samsung live chat and they connected to my phone. "I check information and your device is not compatible, a update to the app will allow you to download from the Play Store"
Contacted the Kids Mode support team again, probably one of the slowest response rates out there but still nothing.

There is a way to force it if you have root but according to the article your mileage may vary, You can find the instructions for what you need to do here https://www.xda-developers.com/try-android-messges-for-web-now/
