Ghosting letters and numbers across Android auto At&t S5

[Jonathan Lemoine]

Just installed a new Pioneer AVH 4100NEX. I have an At&t galaxy S5. I updated firmware and such. When I connect my phone to the head unit and Android auto starts I see this. An email address and numbers. I connected with a brand new usb 3.0 cable.

Has anyone seen this?

Did you update the Pioneer unit or the phone? In any case, did you use official updates or did you manually update from a file download? That seems like a weird watermark or something... have you tried a different phone just to see if it shows the same? (If it does, then it's the unit, not the phone).

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

I updated the firmware in the head unit and the phone to lollipop. Both from their correct sources. I'm going to try the usb extension cable and maybe a usb 2.0 cable tomorrow. I'll also try a different phone, if I can find a friend who has one.

Also, that's one of my email addresses and phone numbers. It only shows up in Android Auto, so I know it's coming from the phone.

Oh... if this is your actual info, I'd blurr out the image a bit to hide parts of the address and/or number. Just a tip

Did you factory/reset your phone after the update? Or at least clear cache from Recovery Mode?

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

I had done a factory reset recently before the Lollipop update. I have not cleared any cache. I couldnt really think of a way to blur it, while still showing what it's doing.

LOL, this is a bug in Google's latest AA update. I'm working on a Headunit app and I see the same with the latest update.

Looks like it might be a "dogfood" instead of a proper "release": Android Auto 1.1.069102 (1882838-dogfood) APK Download - APKMirror

AA is NOT ready for prime-time.

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

Sooo, I downloaded AA directly from Google play. Does this mean they released this version officially? I guess there is not anything wrong with my hardware. It does still function, it's just ugly.

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

I'm actually running AA Version 1.1.069670 (1891547-release)

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

After reading the latest AA reviews on the Play store, it seems others are having the same issue with the latest release.
Is there anyway to submit bug reports?

I actually joined the forum just to let you know I was having the same issue. I contacted pioneer and they said they have no idea what the issue is.

If you uninstall the app and download the last version from apk mirror dot com, it fixes it.

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

Is that possible to do on a non rooted device?

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

I installed the latest from apk mirror dot com. I will test and let you know if that fixed the issue.

 

[Jonathan Lemoine]

I installed Android Auto 1.0.062923 (1788739-release) and that seems to be working correctly. this newer versions do not.

 

[cjackson234]

Correct. You can do this without root. Glad you got it working. Let's hope the next version they release actually works.

Yeah when I said "the last version" I meant the previous build. So 1.0.06 is correct.

Running the Pioneer AVH 4100NEX with the Samsung Galaxy Note3 Lolipop. It was all good until the matrix ghost popped up onto my Pioneer
. Went into Android Market and rated the software 1 star and stated it was great before the updates. Thanks all for the info, just installed the first version apk from mirrorlink....Back in business!!!
