Android Auto Connection Issues

[lordsnipe]

Hi all,

If anyone else has an issue with Android Auto frequently disconnecting, then try using a powered USB hub (I specifically had one with BC1.2 so the phone can charge up to 7.5W).

I recently moved from a Poco to Motorola phone, and whilst I had no issue with the Poco phone, the Motorola would continually disconnect with AA and the same cable. I put in a USB hub with BC1.2 ports, with supplemental power from the cigarette lighter, and my disconnection problems have gone.

Is the Motorola running newer software? Android recently made changes to both their Background Battery and Data services. You have to select "Unlimited" for both in submenus (beyond the power and data options in the app details).
