I've set up AA Mirror in my mokka X so passengers can watch TV on long journeys. However when automatic light go on or off when a shadow is cast over the sensor it resets/turns off whatever is playing.
I've tried turning automatic light off however shadows that cast over the sensor still activate night mode in the car.
Anyone had this problem that could shed some light on the matter.
Thanks
By AA you meant Android Auto? How are you watching videos in it?

It's an app Android Auto mirror, mirrors your phone you can play youtube, and other video playing apps on your car's touch screen.
but every time my auto night lights come on when shadow is cast over the sensor in my car it resets the video that's playing.
I tried this and it does nothing for me?

Is root needed for this?
I can't even get this to work ..
Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk
It works I've been using it for 6 months Google it.
This could be better answered in the ACTUAL AA Mirror thread found here
I can provide a little insight as I just did my Android Auto install and do use AA mirror and some other apps with success. First, I believe you need the video bypass harness to even force your head unit to let you watch video while in motion. If you skipped that step, you might be out of luck, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
You need a rooted phone, the AA mirror app, the Android Auto 3rd party enabler app (it reads your apps, you check the ones you want to show on your head unit, tap unlock, then apply), probably AA phenotype Patcher. You also need to unlock dev mode on the AA App, on your phone, NOT on your head unit.
Once you get everything done on your phone, the AA mirror should show up in the far right button on your AA screen, NOT the headphones icon. There are a lot of quirks with it though. It works, but you need to force the phone into landscape mode from what I can see (unless I am missing something in settings to display in landscape), and even then it's not a full picture.
If you want to watch movies I would suggest using the carstream app and use that to bring up youtube, your plex account, or whatever else you can stream video on. That one is web-based, so once it works, it works on whatever media from whichever host you want. All of these are not without their quirks, like I said. Your mileage may very and might find it more of a pain than it's worth.

Yes you'll need to root, unless there's been more development on it, not used it in a while so not sure now.

Me also, was using Firmware 0202 and he was Rooted.
Rooted. Latest firmware. I've only had freezing when playing The Walking Dead. I have not experienced it with anything else yet. I use MOJO for 1080 movies, streaming, playing android games and emulation, surfing etc. without any issues with those.
I got bad freezing yesterday tried different things fans and stuff was getting freezing while streaming on XBMC and downloading from the play store so today I decided to have no fans disconnected the Ethernet cable just used WiFi been streaming all day and have downloaded big games from the play store and it hasn't crashed yet

I heard about this mounts ago, so why have Mad Catz not fixed this BIG problem yet with a Firmware update???
I think because it's a hardware problem, why else would they not fix that problem with a Firmware?
Rooted latest firmware.
My mojo also locks up while playing Walking Dead and pauses/freezes while downloading from play/app store!
Wifi seemed better for a while but eventually got pauses/freezing on wifi as well.
I have had a support ticket open with Mad Catz for a while now and so far they are blaming it on software
and keep asking me to reset/clear data.
I have asked for a replacement unit to prove it is not hardware but have had no response!
I have two Mojo units and have never experienced any type of freezing issue such as you gentleman (or gentlewoman) speak of. Perhaps you received a bad batch?
So I have recently been experiencing more freezing. First only noticed it when I played Walking Dead as stated above. After a couple of episodes of freezing on that game I just uninstalled it and moved on. More recently after using the MOJO for streaming shows from apps I've been getting the freezing and it will make a humming noise when it freezes. I have noticed this both on a wired connection and wireless. I've also experienced the screen going black while playing a video, but you can still hear the audio. This requires exiting to the home screen and going back into the app and starting the video again from where it left off. Ticket submitted today. I like my MOJO, but this is not acceptable.
Have u still had the Ethernet lead in when u where on WiFi pull the lead out completely mine freezes when the lead is in but I don't get any freezing when I keep the lead out and just use WiFi give it a go
I discovered that my MOJO was freezing in Walking Dead due to the "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" app! If I do not hide the softkeys it doesn't seem to freeze. I have tried "full!screen" (I don't like to see the softkeys while playing games) and it hasn't frozen/locked yet. The only problem I still have is the pausing/freezing when downloading from play/app store. It is better on wifi but not perfect. I prefer wired!

I have the lead out and have still had the freezing. Everything works great on my Wi-Fi right up until a freezing episode occurs during streaming.

I also thought it may have been the GMD Auto hide so I uninstalled it and installed "fullscreen". I have had freezing with fullscreen installed as well. It seems to happen randomly during streaming. I'm going to keep testing things out and will probably try The Walking Dead again. I may try a factory reset at some point after I finish playing GTA III if it's still occurring That game has run perfectly though.

Another app that requires root and does modification to the default user interface. Guys, be careful regarding apps that require root access. If the mojo is not on the supported list for any of these types of apps that actually modify the interface, I would say to proceed with caution. Root is a powerful thing.

Agreed my wifi is dead locks webpages if it's on with ethernet in,i guess it's a conflict of the m.o.j.o probably saying wifi ethernet wifi ethernet wifi ethernet forever and can't decide so just [email protected] up in a timeout (hangs).Not tried on wifi only yet though must have a go at that,possibly could be the update messed the wifi up on root or on both none root and rooted devices?
I haven't had any recent freezing issues during streaming. I have gone back to ethernet with wifi turned off and seems to be doing ok. I unplug the unit every couple of days.
I have one really weird issue. It only occurs when streaming video, such as from HBOGO, never when playing games. I will be watching and the video will go black. There is still volume, but no video. Hitting the volume button on my tv remote brings the video back immediately. I only found out the fix by trial and error as the MOJO controller won't bring back the video, only the TV remote. Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? HDMI issue? It happens randomly and will happen multiple times during a show. Sometimes within a few minutes of starting a show, other times it takes a bit before it will do it.
no more freezing
Just like to report that I have now been going a few weeks now and have had no freezing what soever since I stopped using Ethernet really glad now I didn't send mine of working like a charm

Your not using a mouse by any chance?Or leaving the mouse cursor on the top black area of the screen,as on my unit if i leave the mouse cursor on the top bar from time to time i get intermitent flickering (black screen/normal screen) or the screen just goes solid black.So i just place the cursor anywhere but when i am using the unit and it does not happen then.

Yeah, I get that too, only on at the top and it's only a few pixels (hoz lines), just blanks out the display.
not sure what's going on there, just figured it's the TV which has overscan issues anyway.

got my Nexus Player tonight and, while there are definitely things that need improvement, overall it's pretty good.. I was watching netflix with no issue for about 3 hours, then went to get some dinner.. Came back and it was having issues connecting.. error NW-4-8. signed out and back in and it was able to connect, but now, any time that I start to stream something on netflix, it crashes the entire unit.. my tv starts flashing "No Signal" and i have to unplug/replug it.. This happening to anyone else? I haven't tried reseting it to defaults yet, and will try that if it's not fixed tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the same issues..
Haven't seen that myself but try clearing cache/data for netflix before resetting the whole box.
Sent from my Nexus 5
ill give that a try.. from the apps menu, right? i dont think i've seen any way to do that from within netflix.

Settings (bottom left icon, looks like a gear)-> Apps, find netflix, clear data.
You'll need to resign in, ect. I had to do this the other night on one of my ADT-1's because I had a similar error, and it wouldn't connect to netflix.
ok, so after doing this, it worked for awhile.. now i can't play anything on netflix at all.. just gives a blank screen when i select something to watch.. the netflix app is crap on the player, unfortunatly.. hulu/plex/ted... all others are working with no issues, but netflix is extremely inconsistant.. such a disappointment for an app that should have been ready at launch.

Same! Netflix works great here.
Both Plex and Netflix have plenty of bugs on Android TV. I'm speaking from my experience on the ADT-1. Neither company has been actively fixing bugs. .. Plex has their forums, but the devs just ignore you.. and update **** no one cares about, like sync, or previews.

I dont mind a bug or two here and there, plex at least works, just like hulu and all the other basic apps from large streaming companies.. But netflix just freaking crashes the unit.. Its fully unusable with no rhyme or reason why. I've uninstalled, signed in and out, tried both 5ghz and normal networks, reset and started over even and its just not working.. And without root, i cant even install logcat to track down the issue in a more logical manner. Whata even more frustrating is that i seem to be alone wih the issue.. The only thing ive noticed is that when netflix tries to load a video, it'll count 1-6%, jump to 63%, then to 99%, then goes to a black screen. Then my screen flashes no signal. If i hit the home button a few times, itll come back to the home screen, but nothing changes... Anyone elae with ideas, pkease feel free to chime in. Im fairly comfortable with adb abd faatboot if that helps..

I have this problem as well, trying to watch anything on Netflix turns the video signal off to the TV, pressing back takes me back and turns the display back on. I'm using an older viewsonic TV so I tried moving the player to a newer Samsung tv and it works fine. So I'm just going to go ahead and point my finger at those DRM demons and blame them based solely on conjecture and sit and wait hoping for a patch or fix. (Netflix plays on the viewsonic fine with Roku and Chromecast, just not the nexus player.)
I'm having this same issue. Is there any resolution yet? The TV will flicker about an HDMI-CEC failure when this occurs, so I'm curious if there's a connection there.
Nope -- no connection. I disabled HDMI-CEC on the television, and Netflix still pretends to load the video and then displays a black screen. Tried clearing the Netflix cache and data, but this does nothing to solve the problem. Netflix worked fine for two days, and now this.
Had the same thing happen with the movie play store movie I rented. . Video would go black and only hear the audio. . I can unplug the hdmi from the tv and plug it back in and it will work for awhile. .. called Google they tried to blame it on the movie app.. and of course while on the phone it works fine. . Call google everyone. .
so, got root tonight and was able to grab a logcat.. looks like it's the HDCP authentication thats breaking, like we all thought.. here's the link to the log info, in case anyone smarter than me wants to take a look and maybe find something helpful (google docs link)::

Yeah -- it doesn't make any sense to me either. I didn't have issues with any of the other apps when I was having the problem with Netflix going black. Fortunately, I haven't had the Netflix problem since changing the HDMI cable several days ago <knock wood>.
Per my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/netflix-buffering-issues-t2961438, reinstalling NetFlix addressed NetFlix failing to work at all.
since I started this post, I wanted to post an update.. I never was able to get netflix to work in my setup.. I have my tv, hooked into a monoprice HDMI switch, then into the NP.. no other apps were having any issues at all except for the netflix app.. because netflix is 99% of what I would do on the player right now (seeing as there's very little development for it currently), I've returned my NP. I may grab another one at a later date, if development picks up, but right now, that's a device killing issue for me. hopefully nobody else runs into this issue.
I purchased a Nexus Player the other day and rooted the device. Did all sorts of cool things for testing to see how I'd like to get a final setup going. Once I had everything set, I decided to catch a movie on Netflix. After choosing a movie, I hit play and the movie starts to load. However, right when it got ready to play, the screen started to flicker green. I backed out and tried again but same green flickering.
At that point, I tried to cast from my phone and tablet to the Nexus Player and still got the green flickering screen. I then tried to just play something from Netflix directly from my TV's Netflix app to see if it was an issue with the TV or the Netflix service but it played fine.
So, seems like the Netflix app was broken on the Nexus Player. That's when I decided to try Google Play Movies on the Nexus Player. Same deal... Screen flickers green when I hit play on a movie. I then tried to cast to it and still get green flickering. If I cast to the Chromecast on that same TV, it works fine. So, I thought "ok so looks like video playback is broken on the Nexus Player" .
Wrong again! I tried the Hulu app and YouTube app directly from the Nexus Player and those stream fine. Looked like only Netflix and Google Play Movies apps were broken. So I uninstalled the apps and cleared data/cache but still the same issue.
I unrooted and did a factory reset but still got the green flickering. I checked for updates but I was already updated. I returned my unit thinking I had a defect and when I got the new one, I tested again. This time without a rooted unit. Before I did an app update on the new device and fresh out of the box, I tried Netflix and Google Play Movies. Same deal...green screen flickers when I hit play. So, I then proceed to update Google Play Movies and Netflix since they had updates available. Still the same issue.
With that said, the two units (rooted and stock) have issues with those two apps. I called Google for support and we got up to level three support. They suggested I try to exchange it one more time and now I have a third unit with the same issue on those two apps. Still green flickering. Even my HDHomeRun works well streaming live TV to it.
I don't know what to do at this point. Is anyone experiencing these issues with Netflix and Google Play Movies on their Nexus Player? Any other suggestions? I switched the HDMI cable and even the ports. For what it's worth, my TV has HDMI 2.0
For what it's worth, it sounds like the only thing you haven't tried is a different tv/monitor. Do you have another screen you can try it out on? What kind of TV is it?
Google results are weird on this one. Free recommendations to find and install Netflix 1.3 and if that doesn't work then try installing "Full!Screen" or a screen rotation forcing app and rotate it a few times to make the flicker go away. Not a solution, I know, but maybe a workaround.
Same here

I've had these exact same problems with mine since day 1. these things are trash.
I am not sure if this is a NP issue, Android TV issue or a Plex issue but when i use the voice search in the plex app it takes a long time to find anything. It was working for a while then just stopped.
Now I have my plex library on a NAS drive so i assume it will take a little longer ot index a search but not as long as it takes. Has anyone experienced this? The voice search was one of the reasons I switched from AppleTV to NP.
Me too, it's very inconsistent. Search query is recognised, but returns no results. Sometimes after 3 tries I get a response, but at least half the time I give up and type the search. This always works without problems.
I have the same thing across apps voice search doesn't stop listening till it times out and fails. Factory reset and then stop auto updates in play store seems to have fixed it for me. Seems to have been a recent search app update.
Works much, much better on NVIDIA Shield that I have changed to. I think it's the hardware that sucks.

Hello All,
My first post but I've been lurking the forums for some time. Always finding answers to my questions. Thank you all for that!
With the S8 being so new I'm not sure if anyone else has had these issues, and only found one subject that was close but not my issue. On to the goodness and question I have.... I have a 2016 Chevy Camaro and use the Android Auto on my S8 (used to be S7 Edge) to listen to Spotify mostly. With the update to the S8 it isn't allowing me to access Spotify under double tapping the music icon. Anyone else Having this issue?
So far I've tried removing all the apps, and starting with a fresh install of both.
I've tried multiple data cables connected to the car/phone.
I have also noticed that when Android Auto is turned on it doesn't allow you home button out of it. I used to be able to use the home button after hitting my minimize app button to get to my home screen. Allowing me to access other applications, or texting. I know shame on me texting in the car but not using the car to do it.
Let me know if there are any suggestions or fixes for these issues. I would expect that since the phone is so new there will be updates to fix it but I'm honestly thinking of going back to my S7E. However I was excited to have the S8. It's a pretty solid phone!
Having a similar issue with my Audi Q7. I had a Galaxy S6 and used Spotify under Android Auto. Now when I click on the little headphone icon I get play music instead. I can play Spotify using bluetooth audio but no longer get any track information or control over the app from the car controls.
---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------
OK, just as an update in case it helps @EnCincy or anyone with the same problem I got Spotify working again. Fully uninstalled both Spotify and Android Auto on the phone then reinstalled them again. I did Spotify first but not sure if it matters. When I went back to the car I had a choice of either Spotify or Play Music.
Thanks cheesy. After a few deletes of the app and reinstall it works. Sometimes it tells me Spotify isn't working and has a spinning icon. I have to restart the phone and car to remedy. This has been happening since android 7 came out to update on my devices. S7Edge before and now the S8
Ahh you can count on the forums to inform you of an issue you thought you were dealing with alone, I've also got the issue intermittently but a restart tends to help. I wasn't sure if maybe a disabled package is to blame when using Package Disabler
Same here - an unistall and reinstall worked.
Spotify works fine for me with my Hyundai head unit. If you use Smart Switch to move your apps over you have to uninstall and reinstall any apps Android Auto works with. Make sure AA is installed first before any apps that it allows access to.
Didn't work for me, none of my music apps are working on Android Auto, this worked on my LG V10, but doesnt work on the GS8+
Had the same problem with Audible and Pocketcast, uninstalled and reinstalled both and they showed up
This fixed my Pandora issue as well. Thanks guys!
I haven't run any of the updates yet on the S8 , no problems with android auto or any of the music apps.
Since its happening across various devices I'm wondering if it was the update the was pushed out a few days ago.

I'm testing this now to see it if helps getting other music apps to work again in AA.
Also the 2nd part of the OP question was how to get out of AA on your like like you could on other galaxy variants? I'm looking for an answer to that as well.
Uninstall/reinstall worked for me. Then was having the spotify unable to start issue from time to time... restarting the phone would fix it each time but that was annoying. Turned off the music controller under the lock screen facewidgets settings and haven't had the problem since! It's only been a couple days but....

Also the 2nd part of the OP question was how to get out of AA on your like like you could on other galaxy variants? I'm looking for an answer to that as well.

I still haven't figured out the way to get out of AA while the cord is hooked up to the car. Please share if you do. I also join an AA forum and posted. No responses yet!

Uninstall/reinstall worked for me. Then was having the spotify unable to start issue from time to time... restarting the phone would fix it each time but that was annoying. Turned off the music controller under the lock screen facewidgets settings and haven't had the problem since! It's only been a couple days but....

Thanks. I will try the music controller being turned off.
Just to quickly help anyone with the unable to minimise thing, download a bixby button remapper and remap it to the multitask feature and you'll have the same functionality like on the phones with hardware buttons

OK, just as an update in case it helps @EnCincy or anyone with the same problem I got Spotify working again. Fully uninstalled both Spotify and Android Auto on the phone then reinstalled them again. I did Spotify first but not sure if it matters. When I went back to the car I had a choice of either Spotify or Play Music.

This worked on my S8 too. Used Samsung Smart Switch (hopeless) to get everything across from S6 and Android Auto would not 'see' Pandora, Spotify or TuneIn. Uninstalled all music apps and Android Auto and then installed, selecting AA last. Works now.

Posted this in AA section, some here may find useful.
Do not use this as a way to use your phone while driving. I put this here so a passenger can safely control a phone.
On the S8/S8+ enable your edge bar and install Soft Key egde. A few other settings in The main android settings > advanced features > Multi window > both options enabled.
Generally the apps should be running before you start android auto and connect to car, from there you can use edge bar soft keys to access recent programs. Split screen or pop up multi windows can be opened and used while android auto continues to run on head unit.
I'd post SS but now allowed yet
What head units are you guys using? I have a Kenwood DDX-9703S and have had no issues with android auto.
