Great when parked

[Amsl27]

Simple app that does the job. Wish there was a work around for the motion detection.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad the app is doing the job for you.

You hit the nail on the head with the motion detection. Honestly, that's the biggest headache I'm trying to fix right now! I know that workaround is the key feature, so I'm actively pouring time into finding a stable solution, focused on passenger use.

Once I lock that fix down, I'll push it live ASAP. That stable workaround is definitely the signal for us to drop the 'beta' tag!

Appreciate your support!

I've been testing for a week now... and with AABrowser, I finally managed to open the browser via Android Auto and play YouTube videos in great quality.

I thought I'd finally found the solution... but when I suddenly turned on the GPS signal on my phone, the browser closed... and since then, I haven't been able to get it to start.

I tested the same settings with my old Samsung S22+... there, it only works with a cable in Android Auto if I tap the AA Browser app very quickly (tap tap).

Either it's a setting on the Samsung, but it simply doesn't work with the new Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra.

Is this the motion sensor?

Could this sensor be switched off?

@XmahaudiX
Try opening a different map application (such as Waze) first before launching AABrowser. Doing so might allow it to work without crashing.
​Also, does it work if you turn off the GPS? Motion restrictions are triggered by several factors, such as speed pulses, parking gear detection, GPS, and the accelerometer. When motion restrictions are active, the app icon usually turns gray. Is that what's happening in your case? Or can you not open it even when the car is completely stopped?

I initially tested it with my Xiaomi Poco F8 Ultra, connecting it to the car via cable... everything worked perfectly... until I activated Google Maps via GPS for the very first time.

Since then, the app won't open. It flickers briefly, flashes a tiny window, and then the browser window appears, and that's it.

My car is parked. I have a BMW F31 with a 10.25" XTRONS Android 10 display.

I've tried uninstalling the app several times, but it doesn't help.

The first time you install an unknown app in Android Auto, a notification always appears on the BMW display saying it's now available... but that notification doesn't appear anymore, even though I've installed and uninstalled it multiple times.

It's as if there's still some data on my phone, and Google immediately recognizes the app but is preventing it from launching in Android Auto in the car.

[XmahaudiX]

It doesn't work even with GPS disabled.

I have to install Waze first.

[XmahaudiX]

I installed Waze and, what can I say, it works.

It even works wirelessly.

However, I've noticed that the audio on YouTube isn't in sync.

Is there a way to adjust that?

Netflix starts in the browser, but once I'm logged in, I can't proceed because Netflix insists I use an app... and therefore I can't access the main page to watch movies.

@XmahaudiX
I'm glad it worked.
​Could you please try opening Netflix in Desktop Mode to see if it works?
Also, regarding the audio delay on YouTube, does this happen on other websites as well, or is it specific to YouTube?
​Is there an audio delay when you open AABrowser on your phone?

[XmahaudiX]

Youtube ....AABrowser directly via mobile phone........Audio are sync...thats good!

I'll have to look for a video that doesn't go through YouTube.

Netflix @ Desktop Mode ....doesn't work either

Supported Netflix browsers in Germnay :

Google Chrome
Microsoft Edge
Firefox
Opera
Safari

The AABrowser app also has problems when I try to open YouTube in Desktop mode. It's not a big deal though... mobile works fine.

[XmahaudiX]

I have tested...the audio are also not sync. @ another Video.
Person speak and Audio around 1 sec. later

And this ist when i take Desktop Mode @ YouTube

@kododake the reason it becomes grayed out is setting the contenttype to game, ive been debugging it and i think thats the main reason it becomes grayed out , also the app works perfectly fine when in park mode but as soon as i switch the gear to drive it becomes blocked

[ImGGAAVVIINN]

false, there is no such thing as contenttype in the repo

[morad-z]
