One of the most useful and important tools of the operating system itself is Android Auto, which allows us to see an interface completely adapted to driving on the screen of our mobile, or on the dashboard itself when connecting the phone. However, the bugs of the latest versions have brought many complaints and it seems that they have not finished being solved.
With the arrival of the update to the Android Auto 7.7 version, everything seemed to be going for the better and the smartphones that until now did not have the ability to use the tool, because the interface did not even start, could recover its advantages. After the update is completed on the first mobiles, the solution seems even worse than what we can see in Android Auto 7.6.
Some Samsung mobiles if they solve the problems
Since the Galaxy S22 arrived on the market, they have been phones that have been hit hard by Android Auto bugs and despite Google’s attempts to put an end to them, it has not been achieved. The problem that prevented connecting Samsung mobiles to the car via cable, since previously it was only possible to charge and not transfer data, has been solved, although not in all cases, as we anticipated.
If we have a Samsung phone in our hands, we will have to access Google Play and update all the apps, to try to test if, in our case, the cable connected to the car allows us to use the Android interface in the car with Android again Car 7.7. In the event that we continue the same, our recommendation is based on trying other charging cables that we have at home, since the fault may also be at this point, since some only have the capacity to supply energy to the mobile, but not to transmit information.
In many others the failures multiply
Although we would like to congratulate Google for having managed to solve the previous problem in some cases or at least to have made progress in the solution, it is important to mention that the negative points have appeared, on the other hand, in the driving system. To the Samsung terminals, some Google Pixels are added, which have had to start encountering a black screen, both on the mobile itself and on the car screen. A story that has also been repeated on several Samsung phones and that raises many questions about what is happening.
A native Android function that should work perfectly like this is becoming the biggest impediment to comfortably using all the tools while driving. Therefore, until the problems are fixed, Google itself should stop sending updates that offer small improvements, but that turn into bugs over and over again. When it comes to taking the car, no one wants to have to take several minutes to realize that the situation is caused by our smartphone and that no matter how much we restart it or start and turn off the vehicle, we are not going to achieve anything.
The promises of the new Coolwalk interface are still on the horizon, although they do drag all these situations, it will be of no use to us.
