System crash with Android auto

[Flo354]

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 running Oreo 8.0 with latest version CRB7. Since I moved from Nougat to Oreo, I am experiencing system crash when my device is connected to my car with Android Auto. The system crashes after few minutes.

At the beginning I thought it was a problem related with the ROM, but by disabling XPosed Framework, there are no crashes anymore.

I tried to get some useful logs, don't know if it can help:
adb logcat output: https://pastebin.com/Nmz2GZV4
/data/anr/traces: https://pastebin.com/U4E6JjUE

Can you look at it when you have some time?

Thanks,

After some investigations, it turns out that the problem isn't Android Auto, but some apps.

Actually, after a few minutes using Google Maps (on Android auto or not), Clock app (with timer enabled), or Messenger (in video call), I am experiencing many force close of many apps, and finally "System UI".

The system don't crash each time... Sometime SystemUI restarts and everything comes back to normal.

In every crash I get logcat from, here is the recurring exception (from the logcat in preceding post):

Hope it will help :)

I'm using Android Auto myself, never had such issues. Could it be like in #339 / #325?

[Flo354]

Thanks for your answer. Yep, as stated in my last post, the issue is not with Android Auto but with some apps.

It doesn't seems like #339 and/or #325, since I don't have the message "Got request to deoptimize un-deoptimizable method" in the logcat.

It's an error with the AccessibilityManager and the event TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED, which leads to a DeadObjectException

@Flo354 Did you solve this?

[Flo354]

@harshad1 I am not using Xposed since this bug. Xposed is not maintained anymore.
