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.

    Bluetooth/Android Auto

    Hi all. Apologies if this has been answered-can't find it. I have the MG4 EV (standard range).

Is this known and...

    GPS Gone Silent

    Using Google Maps via Android Auto has stopped providing voice directions. Voice directions ok on phone. I've tried Mute/Un mute. Suspect I have turned volume down but believe volume adjust only works when instruction being given. Ideas please.

    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...
