android

The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the public release of its first beta on November 5, 2007. The first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released on September 23, 2008. The operating system is developed by Google on a yearly cycle since at least 2011. New major releases are announced at Google I/O along with its first public beta to supported Google Pixel devices. The stable version is then released later in the year.

    Night Mode on start up via Android Auto

    Does anyone know how set night mode permanently when using google maps via Android auto? Everytime I start the car it's in day mode which for me is too bright, I've selected night mode both via the car and developer settings but no difference when the car starts again. I have noticed, if I start...

    Android connection cable drops out frequently

    I like Google Waze as a navigator so connected my Galaxy s20 to my MG4 Trophy and things worked well for a few miles. Then the connection was lost. Pulling the USB out and replugging (easier than messing with the phone end when driving) restores the data for another few miles. Some research...

    Weird Android Auto behaviour

    I usually run Android Auto with the voice prompts on mute, because I'm only checking to see how the traffic is and if it might be advisable to take a different route. Also the voice prompts annoy the hell out of me. All was well on Wednesday the last time I used it, and it saved me a...

    CarPlay and Android Auto stopped working

    We sent our car to Peterborough today to see if they could fix the radio. It’s a bit crashy, and recently both CarPlay and AndroidAuto stopped working. After most of a day (and no courtesy car) they’ve said it wouldn’t take a software update and MG need to fix it. We don’t know when that will be...

    Android Auto not picking up my voice - Facelift 5.

    I've been swapped into a facelift 5 as my company car for the last 3 weeks and I love it. However, I think the microphone may be busted as Andriod Auto doesn't pick up my voice. I'm using the same phone that worked well with my old PFL5, everything else on AA works well, does anyone have any...

    USB Cable for Android Auto/CarPlay

    Hey all, What USB cables are you using for Android Auto/CarPlay? I'm trying to find one that's short enough without dangling all the excess wires and ideally one that actually makes the phone fit on the platform. If it's a standard straight USB, the phone takes up the whole platform and with a...

    Android Auto issues

    I have been having a couple of issues while on Android Auto on my ZS Trophy facelift. Sometimes I connect the USB to the phone and although the Google Map works, I lose the facility to get the DAB radio working. Today I had to restart the infotainment on the MG by holding the Home button for a...

    Speedo alternatives

    On a LKA post some have mentioned that Android auto/ google maps have accurate speedometer readings, does anyone know of an associated app which would display this on the infotainment screen in an old fashioned dial and needle configuration. I find that the constant changing digital display...

    Generic android device

    After logging into Amazon Music on the car, the Amazon app tells me an 'unknown generic android device' is trying to sign in. It's surely only a matter of time until somebody works out how to install unapproved third party software onto the infotainment...

    New to Android Auto - any tips?

    I finally got my new phone with Android Auto installed, so I plugged it in to see what would happen. Pretty impressed so far, but I have a feeling I'm not aware of all its capabilities and how to get the most out of it. I thought I'd try the "call so-and-so" feature, and said "call Elsie"...

    Android AI box - seamless connection - Hotpspot on

    OK got my AI box and trying to work out the easiest connection using the car hotspot. My phone looks for the hotspot as does the AI box, however the hotspot resets to off each time. Any bright ideas to get round this or do folk just use their own data or am I missing something.

    Updated iSmart app - android only

    Hi On FB they’re reporting a new android iSmart version with additional features. Credit to Daniel Brown. But no update to the iOS app. Let’s hope it’s not another software divergence as evident for the Trophy and SE car software packages.

    iSmart not working for Android users (apparently)

    Since I received my car on Monday I've not been able to get the iSmart app to work. The dealer is saying there is a nationwide issue where it isn't working for Android users and might not be fixed for a couple of weeks. Can I just confirm that other Android users are having issues? To clarify...
