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.

    I usually run Android Auto with the voice prompts on mute, because I'm only checking to see how the traffic is and if it might be advisable to take a different route. Also the voice prompts annoy the hell out of me. All was well on Wednesday the last time I used it, and it saved me a...

    CarPlay and Android Auto stopped working

    We sent our car to Peterborough today to see if they could fix the radio. It’s a bit crashy, and recently both CarPlay and AndroidAuto stopped working.

    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.
