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.

    MG5 Android Auto disconnecting over bumps

    Hi all. I have a 2024 MG5 Trophy, on about 5000 miles. Recently I'm having an issue where Android Auto (connected via USB cable) keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. It happens when the car hits a bump or vibration in the road, not all the time, but that is what often triggers it. Sometimes...

    Recommend me a wireless Android Auto dongle for a FL MG5

    Looking through the forums, It seems that plenty of MG EV owners have played around with Android Auto wireless dongles, with varying levels of success. What I`m not seeing, is many reports of long term reliability of dongles attached to an MG5. Would those with some experience be able to...

    Android Auto (r63) audio volume behaviour

    I was just taking a brief drive to test out my new Cross Climate 2 tyres, and whilst listening to my Spotify, I heard a "ding!" warning noise and the volume dropped significantly despite the media volume remaining constant. I know that when I'm listening via headphones to my phone that...

    Android Auto/ABRP - unable to use full screen

    Spent a couple of hours one afternoon playing with ABRB on my phone and re-familiarising myself with Android Auto. About to set off for 500km drive, plugged phone in with route planned, AA selected on car's 'home' screen and get a display which is ⅔ ABRP and ⅓ audio player. OK so far, but...

    Wanted: Android App to show real time consumption data

    Hi, I'm looking for an app which shows a realtime display of the actual consumption/use of energy while driving, like an old fashioned 'economy gauge' . I've tried Car Scanner (the free version) but it doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for. I've got an ODB bluetooth adapter, so it's just an...

    Android Auto

    Hi all, had my new to me '21 plate dropped off by the non-MG dealers on Tuesday. I had tried briefly connecting my phone up during the test drive, but it didn't work, so I put it down to possibly being a dodgy charge-only cable, so I'd seen this recommended elsewhere and bought it in readiness...

    Android Apps like EV Watchdog

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Android Apps like "EV Watchdog"? I think it's really for Kia EVs. It looks like it's got great ability to record, and display, all sorts of useful data about trips and driving. I've got a particular need for being able to track and display exactly how...

    Android auto

    Android auto keeps disconnecting and I have to pull the cable out of phone or usb socket to re establish a connection. This only lasts for 10/15 minutes before it disconnects again. Does anyone know of a way to obtain a lasting connection. Thanks.

    I am having the utmost difficulty in persuading my Mg4 and smartphone to talk to each other in order to use Android Auto. The dealership has been very helpful, and 2 of their staff have given me an hour of their time to no avail. They are as baffled as me. I have not owned a smartphone until...
