Wireless Android Auto not working after latest Samsung update - Android 11 with One UI 3.0

[spud_41]

So I installed 6.1 today, sat in the driveway with the truck running and couldn't get it to connect. Tried turning off bluetooth etc, nothing, plugged it in, got the reboot cycle. Started driving out of the neighborhood just listening through bluetooth and got a notification telling me to pull over, park, and set up AA through my phone. Clicked one button and it connected. Now for the first two songs it kept cutting out every 5 -10 seconds, after that it was fine. When I tried using Waze it told me to type on my phone, started typing via phone and it would disappear, wouldn't work typing on the 12" screen either (I was parked) so I just used the built in nav.

I did have it set up for 6.0 so location off etc so maybe I should try turning that stuff back on. Also I should have tried plugging the phone back in after I accepted 6.1's terms or whatever, neighbor hopped in his truck and I was blocking his driveway so I just pressed continue until it said it was connected.

I just installed Android Auto 6.1 from the above site and it connected right away. I also updated Chrome to version 88.0.4324.52 and the reboot issue is gone as well. Life is good. Everything appears to be working as it should.

Ford finally addressing the issue officially:

I have a Samsung S21+ and my AA doesn't work wired or wireless. I hope they fix it soon.

Got that same message from Ford this morning.

However with the android auto 6.1 and chrome update my system has been working just fine for about a week or so. AA connects wireless whenever I enter the truck. Boot loop when plugged in is now gone too.

Did you side loaded the update? I am checking the Play store everyday from my Note 20 and haven't seen the update yet.

Yes I pulled it from apkmirror. Link was from this article:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/...-soon-get-12-new-more-car-oriented-backdrops/

That's about the only apk site I've ever played with. The chrome update came down on the phone automatically.

With both of those in place my AA is working.

And the Google play store still shows the older version for me as well.

I'm still getting the reboot cycle when I plug in and it usually doesn't connect wirelessly the first drive of the day but does every time after that. Still can't use Waze unless it's a saved address because it cuts out when I try typing. AA 6.1 Chrome is updated, Samsung S10e.

One other thing that I had done but I chalked this up to chrome update fixing my issue but maybe not.

When I was getting the loop issue that was with a usb-a to usb-c cable. Granted it was a higher quality one that worked everywhere else I've ever used it.

I had managed to leave that cable in my office the last time I went to work so when I tried the AA 6.1 and it worked I wanted to see if the boot loop was still there but only had the Samsung usb-c to usb-c cable at the house. I plugged my phone in with that cable and no boot loop.

I have since retrieved the usb-a to usb-c cable and that is no longer boot looping either. I can use either cable in their respective port and the phone no longer boot loops.

I use Google maps but so far have not had any issues typing nor asking the Google assistant for directions.

I "uninstalled" the updates for Chrome and then did an update which went to the latest version. It now works fine with my Pixel 4XL on Android 11.

I bought a bundle of usb-c cords just for the truck so that's what I've been using. @JFR0317 I'll try uninstalling the updates for Chrome, thanks.

I uninstalled and updated Chrome, plugged it in and didn't get the reboot cycle but I did get this and i don't know what I'm supposed to do. AA works, didn't mess with it too much cause I was running errands.

Might have figured it out, I think it was just for Waze, and I think it's because I had Editor Maps set up on the app. Switched it to Standard or whatever and it went away. Still can't search anything via phone or 12" screen though.
