Android Auto not connecting? Try this one setting tweak - it worked for me

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-08-11 07:20:00

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it. Of course, the biggest reason I wanted to use Android Auto was for the Spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control the music from the phone itself, which I wouldn't do w

Here’s the truth behind Samsung Auto DeX, and why it’s not an Android Auto alternative

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-11 11:05:45

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung Auto already exists as an Android Auto alternative in China but requires specific regional software and hardware to function. “Samsung Auto DeX” refers to an unofficial workaround enabling Samsung Auto functionality on non-support head units via desktop mode casting. Despite ongoing speculation, we could not locate confirmed evidence that suggests Samsung is officially developing “Auto DeX” as a distinct feature. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

Samsung drops Snapdragon for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — here’s why it makes sense

After months of speculation about the status of Samsung’s custom Exynos chip program, we finally have an answer — it’s alive and kicking inside the new Galaxy Z Flip 7. This includes customers in the US, who had previously only been treated to a modern Exynos chip in the Galaxy S24 FE. However, this choice leaves Samsung with two different chips inside its latest flagship foldable portfolio.

After a year of fighting out his case in arbitration, a Tesla owner successfully forced Elon Musk's EV maker to reimburse him the $10,000 he paid for the company's misleadingly-called "Full Self-Driving" driver assistance package, Electrek reports.

Blackburn appears to have been motivated almost entirely by concerns about children’s online safety and the rights of country musicians to control their own likenesses; state lawmakers, meanwhile, were affronted by the federal government’s attempt to defang legislation that they had already passed.
