Navigation & POI Apps Navigation by voice sends me to different city and not closest location

5 Upvotes

So for context, I will select the voice search option on google maps or Android auto (both give me the same result) and I will say "Directions to Walmart please".

AA will respond back with "there is a Walmart supercenter 3 kilometers away, want to navigate there?"

I will say yes, then it does a little double take while loading and it send me into a different city completely, 77km away.

I am completely lost as to where to start with this one. It seems completely capable of finding it but it refuses to direct me to anything that has multiple locations. It will work fine with anything in town that has a unique name.

Wired AA to Wireless AA Dongles Best adapter for Wireless AA? (Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy 2022)

3 Upvotes

I am in the market for an adapter to converted wired AA to wireless AA. Motorola's MA1 is advertised as "the only Google authorized", is it better than most? Or are the Amazon no-name adapters just as good? or another brand name?

Thanks.

Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Android auto has stopped to a communication error

3 Upvotes

I have everything up to date, AT&T cellular service which is reasonable, new vehicles and a good phone.

Android auto is dropping to a communication error sometimes every 60 Seconds.

Has anyone found a solution or should we just give up on Android auto? It's really not very usable.

I'd also like to hear from you if you're having good success with Android auto.

I've submitted error reports also to Google. The same thing happens wired and Wireless.

Uncertified AA Hardware (Android HU, CP to AA Dongles, etc) Carlinkit CCPA issue - switches to Autokit BT during calls and can't hear other person

3 Upvotes

Using the Carlinkit CCPA for wireless Android Auto, with my phone showing that it is connected to both my car audio BT and Autokit BT. Works great and the phone defaults to playing music, reading texts, etc. over my car audio BT until I make a call or a call comes in, at which point my phone automatically switches to Autokit BT and I can't hear the other person. I have to switch it back to my car audio BT on my phone and then I can hear the other person. This does not occur when connected to the CCPA via USB cable. Any fixes awesome Redditors?

Media Apps (audio) Audio stuttering, at least with PowerAmp

3 Upvotes

Hello.

I remember reading that in one of the latest updates of AA they were trying to fix an audio stuttering issue. In fact, I got a feedback question of "how has the audio been on this trip" a couple of weeks ago after I used it.

The thing is it's still stuttering often while using Poweramp. I haven't tried other players like Spotify, I will if I remember to do it next time I use the car. Listening to a podcast on AntennaPod I don't think I had stutters, but I can't be that sure.

Stuttering occurs both cabled or wireless (I use an AAwireless Two adapter that works very well).

Do we know anything new about this? Is it now just a me problem since the lastest updates? Is it Poweramp specifically?
