Gear S3 & Android Auto issues

[SMD]

Exactly that.

Download this .flo file and import it into Automate. You will have to download a couple permissions plugins. It will tell you which ones.

Once imported, you will have to edit the flow to watch for your Gear instead of mine.

1. Open the flow and tap the pencil at the top.
2. Tap 'Flowchart'.
3. Tap the first Bluetooth box.
4. Tap 'Pick device...'
5. Choose your Gear from the list.
6. Do the same for the second Bluetooth box.

Any questions, let me know.

Just did this. Thanks for the clear explanation. I hate this aspect of the watch/AA so I'm excited to see if this fixes it. Will test tonight! Now I just have to roll back my watch to regain the swipe-down-to-go-back feature that they removed in Tizen 3.0 (I'm a long time user so that feature is an every day necessity now, plus I wear my watch on my right wrist so tapping the back button every time which is on the "wrong" side of the watch for me is awkward and awful all at once. Ugh.)

Thanks for your help though with the AA!

There is an updated version in the Automate Community that works a bit better.
