Unfortunately not all VPN products have this capability. I can’t find it on Google Wifi Assistant VPN
What do you mean by BOTH AA apps?
Which settings? Android or the VPN app?
What do you mean, both apps?
What does a viola have to do with this
What phone and android version?
Android Auto functionality has been migrated to Google assistant driving mode.
The app exists mainly for configuring settings. Google has been doing this migration that started in Android 10. They made it very unstable for quite a while. Seems pretty stable to me since a few months into Android 12. I was also in P4XL. Now on P6Pro.
I strongly recommend you migrate off the 4Xl before the power circuit or battery fails. I went through 2 motherboards in less than 2 years.
My wife’s battery swelled. Broken wireless charging was the symptom.
P6P and P6P are pretty stable now
I would suggest creating a new post to get the widest audience.
Because unless your VPN program supports split tunnel all network traffic goes through the VPN tunnel
VPN isn’t going to help with this.
VPN is internet facing, AA is user facing.
I doubt that Spotify even knows that you’re using AA. It’s AA that blocks video. It’s all about “safety” and keeping the government agencies from going after them.
Google one VPN is a newer version of Google’s automatic on known public network VPN. Per usual Google is continually changing their products with minimal information provided to their users.
Thanks for the information. Will check it out
Been quite a while since I did the original post.
Why do you want to disable it?
I believe the newest version of the Google one vpn is compatible with Wireless Android Auto. And some other vendor VPNs as well
Nope. But I am pretty sure that at least with Android 14 the problem was fixed for the Google one VPN
No it does not. If you force a split tunnel, you’re giving up all the privacy features you’d get on a VPN. You cannot have both.
It does make sense, Android update th flip out this problem. This is what updates are for not more surveillance
Regarding the video and other setti is for AA: you can start the ‘Developer Mode’ of AA within the settings of it. You can choose different options, onenof which relates to video resolution.
That’s said, I’m only here because I’m onenof millions trying to find a way to circumvent Google’s user privacy circumvention… all they want is to snoop, and that’s the ONLY valid reason they haven’t pursued a vehicle for ‘fixing’ this error or bug that’s 99.9% by design.
Any other speculation you find, or reports from Google PR articles is horseshit gaslighting the customers they feel they can pull one over on, until they get slapped by whichever commission or court decides to give a shot.
Why do we have to sacrifice our right to privacy with our internet communication just because they want to snoop and sell what they find…? Reflect and try to approach the answer logically.
Look, no offense, but if you really understood this area of networking, you probably wouldn’t be asking this question, and probably wouldn’t be using a VPN for “privacy” either.
Saying “I use a VPN to protect my communications” while actively signed into a Google device is an oxymoron. Obviously that’s not the purpose of the post, I’m just pointing out that you might not quite understand VPNs the way you think you do, just based on what you have said.
You can absolutely manually edit the route table, but then you lose the “benefit” of the VPN, since the VPN, by design, changes your default route to the tunnel, forcing all traffic through.
Ah, a resupply of optimism after the disappointment. Scroll on, I shall!
You are correct. The VPN is the problem. Not android auto.
No different from not being able to access a share drive at home when you’re on a VPN. It’s a networking issue, 100% independent of AA.
Wireless android auto uses wifi.
Has a mountain of options for tuning.
