We continue with the Android Auto crashes.

I drive over 200 km every day. I keep trying to use MyRouteApp on my wireless Android Auto (I'm not interested in whether it works well with a cable or on iOS or Android... I just want to use it on wireless Android Auto) and it's impossible. It crashes constantly.
It seems to crash whenever my smartphone loses internet signal. I suspect this because whenever I drive through an area where I lose signal, MyRouteApp also crashes. Please, we need to find a solution.

@b0hd1 Have you tried navigating completely offline? Offline navigation only requires a gps signal.

Hi,

When data connection is lost, only CP/AA screen is locked up. Phone screen works fine and following path.

I do not use CP/AA every day, but phone. How screen and phone interact in such way that signal strength on phone freezes app on CP/AA?

Perhaps offline navigation solves this as a test scenario (I can’t test in near future) but this is not what we need for normal use.

@Nick-Carthew Yes. It's very sad for me to see immediately afterward how Kurviger, Osmand, TomTom, Waze, and Google Maps work perfectly. And the program I've promoted and defended for the last five years among all my groups and followers, DOES NOT.
@Corjan-Meijerink We need a little hope for possible solutions.

@b0hd1 do you use the app on you One Plus and a Android Auto device in your car or the combination with the chiquer device.

@Marinus-van-Deudekom I've tested several phones with various WIRELESS Android Auto devices, both in my car (Mazda CX30 2025) and on my motorcycle (Chigee AIO-6, Carabc DB1, RiderNav R7N, etc.). But @Lluis-Arasanz has also tested it with another Samsung phone in a different car, and other users have reported the same error on this forum. It's an issue with MRA and WIRELESS ANDROID AUTO.
The test is so simple that I don't understand why the MRA staff's response has been silence. It's very sad and disappointing.

In my case, I know I'm passing through areas with poor coverage because I listen to the radio online, and sometimes, in those same spots, the station cuts out. That's where it always gets blocked (coincidentally? I don't know. That's the programmers' job). I think it would be very easy for the staff to repeat that test.

But the worst part isn't the failure. It's the lack of response.

As i said before, I tested o Samsung A14 And iPhone, both wired.
Android is more sensible to problems and freezes than iPhone, but both freezes CP/AA when data signal is lost. As phone recovers when signal returns, CP/AA screen remains frizzed.

Like Oscar, silence for technical staff does not helps to know if someone is working on this behavior or others than App has.
And I use other CP/AA apps on both phones with NO error, no freezes nor other issues and all of them, recovers perfectly on signal lost

I hope a neat solution, because I love app (when works as expected)

@b0hd1 I use AA wireless with my Samsung S24FE and never have problems like you've stated. We know that the combination of some Android phones in combination with AA devices result in problems. The Devs are certainly busy trying to solve the issues buth since ther are various phones finding the excact cause of the problem is not easy. Whem I look at your experiances and compare them with mine one things stick out for and that is the internet connection. In my case, I only use android Auto in the Netherlands, there's great coverage through all of our country. Have you put in a ticket and include the logfiles. That could help the Devs isolating the problem.
The problems discussed on the forum regarding AA made me search for a solution outside those devices. AA and CP works but........ It's an extra device and an extra source of trouble. In my car I don't care very much but on my bike it must be absolute working 100%. My solution was an expensive one but it works great and without any problem. Like @Con-Hennekens frequentky stated there are other less expensive solutions to be found.

@b0hd1 said in We continue with the Android Auto crashes.:

Well I would be glad to test this "easy" scenario, but the trouble is that in the Netherlands we practically have no areas without cell phone coverage anymore... I can try (and will) do a test by enabling flightmode while driving (while maintaining wifi, else the connection with the AA/CP device gets lost too) but I doubt that will be the same...

@Con-Hennekens

As Idea, perhaps after 10 or 12 kilometers is a good possibility to wrap the phone with aluminum foil in order to isolate it from phone network. This can be simulate a "near real" signal loss while route.

In Spain Network coverage is not perfect and also, we have a lot of mountains and areas with no citizens, so phone companies do not spend in network coverage.
