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.

    Playing Bluetooth music

    Hi all. This is something I've wanted to ask for ages but hasn't been a priority. I plug the phone in with a usb to the first port. It connects to Android auto and Bluetooth. Everything works. No problem. (Phone calls, apps like Spotify). But if I want to play a YouTube video on my phone...

    Android auto screen ratio stretched

    All fine with the system until today -android auto suddenly displays in a thinner, stretched screen aspect ratio. Weirdly, the buttons are clearly still in the same place in terms of touch (so to hit the right button you have to tap where it would normally be in terms of layout). This is not an...

    Android Auto issues

    If I hold down the voice button in my ZS EV LS Trophy for a second or two, it goes to Android Auto. I then only appear to be able to say one thing, and then it appears to time out. So if I say "Text wife", it gets that, then the phone feeds back what's your message, and the voice doesn't appear...

    ABRP, Android Auto and OBD2

    I've run into a little problem with getting ABRP to work with OBD2 data (using a VLink MC+) over Android Auto and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue.

    USB cables for Android auto

    I am looking for 0.75m long USB A to USB C, like rocking horse manure unless you want to spend mega bucks. I also want 0.75m long USB C TO USBC And 0.75m long USB C TO LIGHTNING. I can easily get 0,5m but too short, and 1m too long, I hate dangling cables.
