What you need to know
- The new owners of the Pixel 10 series report “insensitive” problems with the connection of the phone to Android Auto.
- Users report that their screen updates approximately every five minutes, freeze terribly and its visual elements do not update.
- Google seems to be aware of the problem because a member of the Android team responded to an assistance thread for more information.
Consumers who pre -ordered the Pixel 10 when launching get their hands on the phone and compete with strange Android car problems.
Users quickly took Google Pixel Subdreddit To express their grievances with the Pixel 10 series and an “insensitive” auto Android (via 9TO5GOOGLE). The original poster (OP) on Reddit, Utan, indicates that not only their Pixel 10 and Android Auto have been “super insensitive”, but that the screen is quite rarely updated, once every five minutes.
Others with similar problems have added their reports, with an indicator Their Pixel 10 has trouble with their 2018 Chevy. Their Android Auto freezes, but the “Visuals do not update” despite the screen buttons that work perfectly well. The report indicates that a Pixel 10 Pro XL works on a Mitsubishi 2023 without problem, as well as a Pixel 7 Pro.
A Another report said That their Pixel 9 Pro works well, but not their Pixel 10 Pro.
OP has referenced a Google support forumwhich reports the same problems with which they are struggling with. The user says: “When I connect to my car, the phone is recognized but the screen remains gray with the watermark of the AA logo.” The user adds that they have entered the settings, by wiping their cache and application data, but in vain. A complete reset of the factory was also carried out, and still nothing.
There is no clear catalyst behind these problems. Some thought it was limited to the use of a USB; However, a user reported states he had problems with USB and wireless.
A member of the Android team from Google responded during its assistance forum. So, at least it seems that the company is aware of the growing problem. I hope we see a patch entering September, because it quite strongly afflicts the last flagship series of Google.
Google Pixel users had problems with the company’s Pixel 9 series at the end of last year with Android Auto. Users have reported stammering audio problems when they are wirelessly connected while reading music and cards. Other problems that users have declared did not consider audio reading during music streaming via Android Auto, it was for a Pixel 9 Pro XL. Calls also gave user problems, as users could send and receive calls, but the audio heard was not the best.
At the time, Google encouraged users to stay on Android Auto V13.3 to avoid problems. We do not know if we will see this again with the Pixel 10.
Android automatic connectivity problems were reported with the Pixel 7 and 6 series in 2023. Temporary fixes for the restart / cleaning of the covers.
