![]() Right now, however, it’s not clear if the patch is projected to be part of the next Android Auto update scheduled to land in just a few days or it is supposed to be included in the first Android 11 update expected shortly too. Several users have already confirmed that disabling the screensaver on their devices restores phone calls on Android Auto after the Android 11 update, so it’s now just a matter of time until Google comes up with a full fix for everybody. Please inform whether disabling it fixes the problem with placing outbound calls,” a member of the Android Auto team said a few hours ago. Then ‘When to start’ should be set to ‘Never’. If yes, try turning screensaver off in Settings > Display > Advanced > Screen saver. If the xscreensaver-auth(6) program is installed setuid, it attempts to tell the OOM-killer to leave the XScreenSaver daemon alone. GETTING STARTED¶ XScreenSaver is a daemon that runs in the background. “ For further investigation of the issue, we want to confirm if you have the Screen Saver settings enabled on the device. XScreenSaver is also available on macOS, iOS and Android. So the temporary workaround until Google rolls out a full patch is to just disable this screensaver on your device. Then in the GUI go to Preferences > Screensaver > Display Modes > Select disable screen saver from the dropdown. The issue appears to be caused by the screensaver feature that is enabled on the devices powering Android Auto and running Android 11. An easy way to achieve this is to install xscreensaver then configure it to disable (its also the Raspberry Pi recommended way) sudo apt-get install xscreensaver. Google confirmed last week it was looking into the whole thing, and a few hours ago, the company finally came up with a fix that seems to bring things back to normal. ![]() More specifically, some of those who installed Android 11 said the phone call didn’t start unless the device was unlocked, while others claimed that the sound was routed to the smartphone and not to the car’s speakers. Shortly after the first smartphones were updated, users started turning to Google’s forums to report various issues with Android Auto, including broken phone calls. The company officially announced the release of Android 11 earlier this month, at which point the first wave of devices, including its very own Pixel, were allowed to install this update.
