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.

    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...

    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.

    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.

    Android Auto

    Android auto only works from the right socket in my car. I like to charge my phone with a more powerful, quicker PD (Power delivery) adapter. Is there some sort of splitter cable that can split data and power so I can use the 12V and a PD adapter socket and the data port? My previous car the...
