Waze in Android auto issues - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Anyone have so many problems as me when using Waze in Android auto?
1) street names text is so pixelated and not crisp/smooth
2) freezing
3) sometime it doesn't even update the location and blank map
Etc..

Are you using a Oneplus 6T? I just got off the phone with Oneplus support because I cannot get Android Auto to work at all.

I'm in similar boat too.
Android Auto is messed up on this phone.
OnePlus has been of no help whatsoever.
I have been providing them logs they requested. No reply from them.

Yes 6T international ver..

damn... sucks seeing all of you having issues with AA
works great for me... I'm on the latest 9.0.11 with root and twrp and haven't seen any problems

I ranted about this on Twitter. Probably not gonna make a difference, but did it anyway..

I posted on another thread, but I'll update this one too. I have an almost clean install as my phone was only hours old. I upgraded to the latest oxygen build (non-beta) and still no-dice. Tier 1 customer support was worthless, as was the advanced support team. It wasn't until after they told me to return the phone and hope for the feature to be fixed eventually in another build, that I again tried but with the factory dash cable. Android Auto worked immediately! I'm not sure why, but the cable that I was using with my other phone for AA wouldn't work for the 6T. Now that it is working, it works amazing.
I hope this helps someone else... Best of luck.

I can tell you my non-standard cables on my Essential phone are intermittent with AA in my car, but the stock cord, works...only phone I now that didn't work at all is the Pixel 2 XL...sold it anyway. But I use AA daily and about to buy this phone because I'm on Verizon and been awaiting support. So as long as the cable is just the issue, no biggie..can always buy a spare one for the car.

Yah, but missing cops info.

Fixed the blank screen in Waze on AA by going to the battery optimization of the app and disabling it.
Works flawlessly

Anyone having issues with Android auto? I keep getting an error 7 my cars security doesn't meet the requirements for..... I've reset my phone already and made sure my navigation was up to date.
Any suggestions?

Is it factory or after-market radio? I'm waiting on my S8 to arrive today...Android Auto is one thing I've been wondering about...whether it's going to screw up or not with the new phone. Mine is an after-market (Pioneer).
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as well. I have the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX and I have come to rely on AA with my S7E, it didn't work at first a while back, but after an (phone) update it works fine. I can't see going without it at this point, very useful. I'll chime in when I get my S8+ (hopefully tomorrow) if I have any issues.

Same here...that's exactly what I have and I've gotten so used to it, it's a must have for my new phone to work with it! My S8 should be arriving any minute and top of my priority list is connecting it to my car. I'll keep you posted.
Works fine for me. Hyundai with AVN 4.0 (latest) stock head unit. Remember too that if you used Smart Switch to set up your phone you need to uninstall and reinstall all your AA dependent apps. AA doesn't see them for some reason when they're copied vs. installed from scratch.

It worked flawlessly on my way home from work!
Finally figured it out. Turns out the play services app need updating and wouldn't update unless connected to Wi-Fi. All works now!
Also having some issues it seems with android auto, s8, and connection to my car.
I love having new technology but I wish things like this were already hammered out.

Did you try uninstalling Android Auto app? I uninstalled mine then went plug it up in my car and let it prompt me to download everything and allow permissions, etc. I had to put my emergency brake on and go through the whole nine yards, but it worked perfectly once all done.

Yes. This was the first step I did. Uninstalled AA, Spotify, and then installed AA. Once done with that I went into android auto and downloaded Spotify. Still not listed as an option. Also tried another USB cord just for good measure.
Finally got to use android auto this morning. I used a micro USB to USB C adapter I had bought earlier. Everything ran perfectly, I didn't need to install anything, spotify worked, everything so far exactly as before with no hiccups.

I had to do this twice to get it working right lol.
But now... 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
I hadn't realized it till over the weekend that my iHeart Radio wasn't appearing in my music choice either. I uninstalled and re-installed iHeart Radio app to see if that helped but it didn't. Then suddenly I get in my car this morning and it's working! IDK what the deal is.
Android auto, s8, google maps
Somebody please help. 2016 jeep wrangled. When I TRY to use Google maps nav as soon as my s8+ display goes black I get the searching for GPS. So frustrating. Any advice??? Please and thank you

NFC Not showing up in Connected Devices menu w/Essential Phone PH-1 on Android 9 Pie

Just got the phone a few days ago, was super excited as I was tired of using my old 2013 Moto X w/a cracked screen after my iPhone 6 stopped recognizing any SIM card (no service). But I digress....
There was an Android Pie update which I downloaded since I've heard how people enjoyed the phone more with it, plus it was still fresh so I updated. Spent the past few days tweaking things here and there, downloading my usual apps. Excited to try Google Pay via NFC as I was used to Apple Pay (which seems to have more banks supporting it, my Cash App card and my credit union card both don't work on Google Pay but they do on Apple Pay).
Tried it at a Staples earlier with a back to school rush and lines down the entire wall of the store, and it wouldn't work! With the app open or not. Had to pull out my iPhone to finish the transaction (embarassing...).
Got home, tried it again on my Square NFC/chip reader, NOTHING. Read up on how the sensor is on the bottom of the device, no go. Go to Google Pay options, says "to use Google Pay, you need to turn on NFC. Click settings, NFC isn't listed in Connected devices, nor does anything but an NFC Services show up when I search "nf" in the settings app.
I'll be highly disappointed if I can't use Google Pay on this phone. I didn't get a chance to try on Android 8.1 as I updated to Pie pretty much immediately. Help please!?

That's the same as mine (which works). For info, I'm on 9.0 (stock original, August), rooted, with adaway and an always on vpn.
Until someone else suggests another fix, I recommend an essential website fastboot reinstall of a full image. That's what I've done every time an I don't have the issues that others report.

To have to do all of this on a brand new phone (literally got this last saturday) that I already had frustrations with due to Amazon's shipping partner is even more frustrating. Not sure how to do a reinstall. Wonder if amazon or essential would send a replacement phone.
Then return it to Amazon for a replacement! You're within the return period and the longer warranty.

True, wasn't sure if it was an issue specific to this copy of the phone or a setting I inadvertently changed. Should be getting a replacement tomorrow so hopefully there aren't any issues - I'll still upgrade to Android 9 Pie if it doesn't have it already. I'll update the thread if so.
Same issue
Fwiw, I'm on a pixel 2 and have the exact same issue after the Pie update. Trying to use a Daydream headset and get the same NFC issues (says it is not enabled, not listed in Connected Devices but running). Hope there's a fix in the pipeline.

new pie update 47.2.A.8.24

hello, how about battery drain after the latest update? I just saw a video recommending to do not update to Pie, because many features of Oreo and Nougat are gone and functions are limited, and a battery life is reduced. the review was made few months ago, though. are there any major changes with following updates? do you recommend to update? thank you.
Hi, what do you all think of the new Pie update?
What happens if, for once, there is a system update notification, it is being ignored and nothing done?
My first smartphone being HTC, then switching to Samsung twice, i don't recall getting system update notifications every now & then from the mentioned brands.
yesterday I have updated to this version via OTA.
today I notice GPS does not work (tested with Maps and GPS test).
does anyone have experienced this issue?
Not going to update my XZ1 to Pie. It seems Google has disabled third party call recording apps such as ACR within Pie. This functionality is very important to me in my work. So unless I'm going to root my phone in order to get around this I can't use call recording app. This is a major to me and many many others.

I got four darker spots on camera - two are darker and two are barely noticeable. At first I thought it was a hardware issue (dirty lens or faulty sensor), but I found, that this happened to some of the different Xperia phone users before after a software update. Can anyone else confirm that?
Just updated. GPS and camera are fine and everything seems really quick. Or maybe that's because I just rebooted and I don't do that so often
I can't use my device anymore, it's laggy as hell and so bad, that no one wants to buy it for even 150€

OnePlus 7T Pro Mclaren Edition - GPS constantly not working right

Hey all, I really need some help, borderline might send this phone back even though I love it so far. GPS location is absolute garbage.
Countless google searches show this issue persisted even back during OnePlus 5 phones. This is my first OnePlus device and I am slowly ( I am patient) having some issues creep up. The GPS issue doesn't have any official fix from my search, only some tricks that work temporarily.
How has OnePlus ignored this for so long?
Waze barely ever GPS locks and when it does its for a few minutes. Google maps is the same way. No amount of reboots, clearing location cache, toggling power savings etc has worked enough for me to say "its fixed". I never experienced this on other devices. This is why I came to XDA (back when I used to flash everything). Has anyone discovered a real fix? Do I have to flash some new ROM to resolve this?

You might want to say TMobile version. But I'm guessing you don't have root access bc TMobile locks the bootloader?
If you had root you could just edit and replace the gpsconfig file
Yes TMobile version it's new just got it a few days ago, untouched. I haven't been in the rom flashing game in awhile, kind of veered off that but your reply tells me that will fix my issue? Is there another thread I missed that explains why that would work?
If so please kindly link me.
I have an update for those having this issue. I have done more testing with GPS locker and noticed random results. It definitely helped usability by 20% but by no l means is this a fix.
GPS locker once locked around 10-15 seconds I open Waze and immediately it loses all connections, it's as if Waze itself is not working right, perhaps it's Android 10 or 5g. Ultimately you can sit and wait and Waze will eventually work for a few minutes or so then die out again.
Google maps was better by about 15% due to GPS locker although it too will from time to time lose GPS and you may end up missing an exit.
Last thing I tried was switching network mobile mode from automatic 2g/3g/lte/5g to the one below that without 5g and noticed considerable improvement but I do not have enough testing time to conclude that works.
No one has GPS issues? It's all honky Dory? There's plenty of threads on this but no bite. I am more curious for those on 7tpro.
I wonder if it's a 5g problem. I have been seeing a similar experience on the note 10+ 5g boards.
https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...Note10-5G/GPS-loss-when-5G-is-on/td-p/1338709
Is one example,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/gps-issue-t3965662/amp/
Another.
Anyone with 5g chime in?
I'm having these issues too, I notice it a lot on Waze. Google's cool.

Alright I have confirmed my suspicions with the help of this same issue on the Note 10 5G forums. After I left home today I set my phone on a navigation drive using Waze, it connected right up on 4G LTE (I guess no 5G towers nearby). As I was driving, rock solid for 15 minutes it suddenly connected to 5G, you know what happened next, it disconnected GPS immediately. This confirmed what everyone else is saying. There is a bug or some problem when these new 5G phones switch between 4G lTE -> 5G and back, more specifically, I dont think 5G is ready for prime time when it comes to GPS locking.
I switch my network settings to not search for 5G and GPS with Waze was rock solid. This is indeed the fix / workaround for now when your using navigation apps until Oneplus / T mobile releases a fix. I am more disgusted that these 2 flagships (Note 10 + 5G included) was not properly tested and vetted before marketing shoved it down our throats.
I've noticed the same issues. Although I've posted on Reddit about it.
Waze as an app has issues with GPS if you read the reviews so it's a tough one.
I did do a small test like you in regards to 5g and GPS and it seems to have been better.
Very unfortunate. I'm debating whether to keep the phone and simply put it to 4g or just return and get like a note 10+ (standard 4g) for the time being since 5g seems to have issues
Edit:
Looking at the above linked topic it seems like the issue was fixed with an update for the Galaxy
I wouldn't worry too much, 5G is still new and I am confident they will iron things out. I thought about switching phones too but for what? The other 5g had the same issue(note).
In time it will be fixed, for now when I am on the road I leave it at 4g lte and I am good to go.
confirmed with GPS locker app...
Using GPS locker I can notice the 5G issues like others on my op7Tp 5G ... an easy fix (until this gets addressed by t-mobile) is to disable 5G and use 4G instead :crying:
For some reason it seems to be a oneplus wide issue like you said since the OP5. I had an OP5 damaged the screen and went back to my MI MIX 2. Had 0 issues with my MI MIX 2 other than the weird location of the selfie cam (bottom right of the screen). Recently upgraded to the OP7 pro (non 5g) unlocked version (i know you have the 7t pro but figure we could all help each other) and definitely still have some GPS issues. Google works, however waze is intermittent and especially bad while making phone calls (EX android auto+waze, while hands free talking on the phone).
GPS Locker definitely helps for me. i have it auto-lock then launch waze (settings in the GPS Locker app).
I've also used compass steel app and used it to calibrate the compass in the phone. This also seems to help some.
The only other thing worth investigating i think would be to check a few settings and see how they pan out. Related to the battery optimization settings in android 9 and 10. Adaptive battery (seems to be system wide), and battery optimization options (seems to be app specific) for waze gps locker, etc. Let me know what everyone finds out. Seriously tempted to trade in my OP7 pro if the mi mix 4 looks promising. My Mi Mix 2 was solid and im a huge OP fan....
Maybe it's worth it now to bring this to the OnePlus forum community. When I have time I'll whip something up and link it here so we can add to it. More eyes are needed from there end.

No issues on my end . Tested Waze and Google maps with 5g connection.

I believe it is worth it. Get enough people with enough devices across different carriers making the issues visible and hopefully someone will fix it!
I've even edited the GPSconfig file to no avail. I would love to get my hands on a similar device (GPS hardware) that is carrier branded and see if that helps the issue. How can I find identical hardware? Maybe a Samsung?

Yep indeed it does, I've already made a topic about this issue on reddit aswell.
Nice!
I have the tmobile 5g version and gps is horrible. I tried both google maps and Waze. It takes 5 minutes to lock on GPS initially and then while driving it will freeze up and not move for a few minutes (as I get lost) then randomly reconnect and disconnect again. Frustrating since I drive use GPS often in the LA area.

What are the pros and cons of using Lineage OS over Oxygen OS?

I'm considering trying Lineage given the odd quirks I'm seeing with my rooted Oxygen.
What will I lose or gain by switching from Oxygen to Lineage?
Personally I like youtube vanced and, viper which I get from nolimits 12.0, I also like the native call record. So in my case, I stick to oos.

Thanks for the response. If I could resolve two quirks with OOS, I'd be happy to stay.
1. SMS/MMS database wiped at every restart. (Or is it the messages were never committed to system database?)
2. EcoBee & August use the same API or third party library to add smart home devices. They fail while all other vendors works fine. I had to add devices using a different unrooted phone.
#2 is annoying. #1 is a bigger deal.

I went from OOS to LineageOS 18.1. While I love LineageOS, I am having problems with all my calls going to Real Time Text mode after a hardware answer. I have Verizon as my carrier and this might be the issue. I cannot say for sure. There is no Google on my phone and I get along just fine without them. If I can solve this issue it would otherwise be almost perfect. My 2 cents.

I have Verizon too and same thing happens. It's a known issue with most Android 11 ROMs on this phone, except for one or two, who's developers found a workaround.

Holy cow....thanks for the tip off. You don't dial 911 unless it's an emergency so I never knew. That would be complete NO NO and if I were LineageOS I would have a BIG warning to Verizon users NOT to use this. I went back to Android 10, HavocOS. Only issue I have is with MMS, but QKSMS is work around for it. I am going to place a test call to 911 now just to be sure. Thanks again.

Pixen OS, but it's no longer supported and gave me battery issues. I think Jaguar OS has it fixed too. Not sure about pixel experience.

No problem, it could just be me but I think it's maybe related to the rtt issue. You should be fine on Android 10 based ROMs.
