Hi everyone, I am struggling to get Auto Advance to work on my AnkiDroid. I have ensured that the auto advance deck settings are set, which work fine on the desktop version. Additionally I have enabled the “automatic display answer” option in the Ankidroid app. When I look at deck options on the Ankidroid app, the settings reflect the desktop version. However, when I open the deck, auto advance is non-functional. I tried to adjust the controls in the settings to “toggle auto advance”, but none of the controls I set work. Am I missing anything? ---

What your Deck Options \> Auto Advance look like, could you screenshot or post your settings in text here? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/6/0/608dbe16c94ea6c486d73e136c4afde995de9e2e.png) Check if your deck has the preset that contain your auto advance setting and click save at the top ---

Thanks for helping. Here is a screenshot of my Ankidroid settings. ![1000050023](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/7/1/71b7150b0f3720c022fdd5fe875a69ebe6336763.jpeg) It reflects the settings on my desktop Anki. I have also saved the settings. And here showing the auto display is activated. ![1000050026](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/9/0/90345c20ec485f27d7cb86b27e9de071f012ba6d.jpeg) ---

Hi, sorry for the delay, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the answer-long press time is set to 0 in my settings and the Auto Advance is still not working. I would sincerely appreciate any other suggestions. ---

Thank you! It was the first one. My “Dont play audio automatically” and “Wait for audio” were both enabled. Its working flawlessly now. ---
