Android Auto (Do Not Disturb Issue) - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I have an unrooted Google Pixel 2 XL running the Android P Developer Preview. When Android Auto comes on (via my car's Bluetooth) my phone ALWAYS goes into Do Not Disturb mode. It's a pain to have to turn it off once the app launches every time. Does anyone know why this happens?

It's a safety feature. You could always adjust your Do Not Disturb settings to allow text messages.

I also have a unrooted pixel XL with Android p. Mine is also doing this and I hate it. I can't here any directions if I am using the app for directions on how to get somewhere and I can't use the music part of Android auto either because I can't here it either. Is there anyway to turn it off. It is defeating the whole reason I use the app.

slide down the notification shade, and turn of DND once its plugged in and/or connected to your vehicle.
not ideal, but simple fix.

I hear directions just fine. Check the settings attached in the screenshot.

Thank you I am going to give this a try.

I could of sworn there was a setting that you can adjust for DND for Android Auto?

This did Not happen in 8.1. Really annoying.

Permanently grant Bluetooth access to messages

My phone keeps asking me every time Bluetooth connects to my car if I would like to grant access to messages. Why is this not being remembered? How can I make this happen?

Try resetting BT in the car and phone and pair afresh. When it pairs, normally a dialogue box will appear on the phone asking to which apps access should be given. Enable messages and whatever else you need.

Thanks for the response. I've done this. I factory reset the phone (for other reasons) and repaired. No change.
Strange that message access isn't listed in the settings. When I select my car in my phone's Bluetooth settings:

Reg. the screen shot, did you try to scroll down and see if messages was there?
EDIT : for me message access comes after contact sharing. Since my dpi is 420, it is shown within the box without scrolling.

No, I don't have anything after contact sharing. It doesn't scroll past what is posted on the screen shot.

Navbar keeps turning white on home screen

I recently installed the unlocked firmware (XAA, G955U1UEU1AQG2) on my Verizon S8+ and every time I come out of using split-screen (multi-window), the navbar on the home screen will change from transparent with white buttons to white with gray buttons. It doesn't matter what mode the navbar is in. The only way to clear it is to restart the phone. Is anyone else that's running the most most recent version of the unlocked firmware seeing this?

I figured out what was happening. I needed to exit out of split-screen, not swipe down on the bottom window.

Yeah, I love it, it runs smoothly. It doesn't have WiFi calling or Verizon voicemail built in. I know there are mods for WiFi calling, but I don't wanna go through the headache of setting it up. I just use Hangouts (with my Google Voice number) if I ever need to make a WiFi call and Google Voice for my voicemail.

What do you mean exit out of it. I'm having the same issue?

First select select which window you want to close (by physically touching). You'll see the blue line between the windows move in the direction of the window you touch. Then press the little white hash in the middle and then a menu will pop up. Then press X.

Android Auto & MMS

Are there any Pixel 2 XL owners who also use Android Auto? My SMS messages come in just fine, but my MMS ones never show up on the Android Auto home screen. Do I need to adjust anything settings-wise in order to see/receive incoming MMSs on Android Auto?

Yep...
Oh just realized you said it's specifically MMS messages. I rarely get MMS to notice whether or not it shows up for me.

Yeah. It could be only SMS messages that will only pop up on Android Auto. Grrrrr!
Are you using the stock Messages app or something else?

correct, sms only. no way to display mms in android auto, which sucks because there can be text associated with the media, but cant be accessed.
Kind of makes sense cause it's assuming MMS is a media and not containing text like a group text does. I use instant messengers for group texting so I don't deal with it but I can see the annoyance.

Google Assistant & unlocking phone

My 2 XL is running all stock everything and have read both that Assistant CAN and other places CANNOT open phone when locked.
So what is the actual verdict? If phone is locked and asleep, will "Ok Google" unlock it? Up till now it awakens my phone but does not unlock it. Am I missing a step?

Does the same for me, drives me crazy and pretty much makes it worthless as a feature when I have squeeze as an option by the time I've manually unlocked the phone. Wish I could get it working since I was pretty sure it's supposed to work that way.
Do you have "Unlock with Voice Match" checked?

- Open the Google App or tap the "G" in the search bar.
- Tap "More" on the bottom right corner.
- Tap "Settings"
- Tap "Voice"
- Tap "Voice Match"
It's actually a setting/feature that's no longer on the Pixel 3 and I guess newer Pixels moving on.

My Notification pull down stuck in Dark theme

Not sure what the heck is going on by my pull down notification is ALWAYS dark no matter what I do. I even tired forcing the Device Theme to Light vs auto depending on wallpaper and the darn thing is always dark.
Any ideas??

Wow, what in the world is Google thinking? Why does changing messager to dark mode impacts the notification color? That's crazy. Is this a known bug?
Thank you buy the way, it was driving me nuts as to why it is happening.

Hahahahahaha....beats me bruh, better ask google that one. But yes, it's a known issue. Guess they figured that if you have dark mode enabled, might as well have dark notifications to go with it! Your welcome my friend
