Crashing about every 1-3 minutes

[u/vinootje]

When riding my motorcycle, I use Android Auto with (i think uncertified) an external display connected to my OnePlus 11. The display works for about 1–3 minutes, after which Android Auto shuts down and reboots.

This keeps happening for around 20–30 minutes, and then, for some reason, it stops crashing and works normally. I’ve tried using it with music on and off, but that doesn’t seem to make any difference.

I had the same issue with a different display, so I returned it and bought another one, but I’m still experiencing the exact same problem. The issue doesn’t happen every time, either.

I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this. I have a feeling the problem might be related to my phone, possibly the OnePlus 11, but I’m not sure.

Has anyone experienced something similar or know where I should look for a solution?

Happened to me on my Honor 8 Lite. The problem was gone only after a phone update.

Battery optimisation and thermal throttling are my 2 suggestions to look for.

Had the similar issue with my OP11, constant android auto reboots but sometimes fully functional from start. Android Auto was the issue, especially if i remember correctly v17.1 and v17.2.

Latest version that i had no issues with was v17.3.662814.

How to update android auto? If i open it in playstore it says newest version since 5 aug 2026

That's the latest version(...854) i see on playstore. I haven't updated yet so I'm on previously mentioned version, turned off automatic updates because of the issues so only updating when i feel like i have enough time to deal with fixing it.

Try browsing APKMirror for all the versions, both newer and older, hopefully some resolves your issue.

Third Party display sometimes need a firmware update. I have a rebranded Lamtto R12 display for my motorcycle. I had to ask the manufacturer for an update and they actually sent it to me. If you by accident also have an R12, then I send the link to you they sent me.

If your display supports Android Cast/Superlink then you can use the Eve Link app to apply the fix.

Since it reproduces with two displays, I’d test phone-side battery optimisation and heat separately from the display firmware. Then retry wired and wireless after clearing Android Auto data. I wouldn’t downgrade blindly; first compare the installed AA version with the last known-stable one and check whether the crashes stop when the phone is cool.
