Volkswagen car owners might be facing an issue with their hotspots due to a bug that was caused by an Android change. However, a fix for this has already been released for this issue which can be resolved by the car dealer.
How To Troubleshoot This Issue?
Additionally, some more troubleshooting solutions can be checking Android Auto settings in the car’s infotainment system, USB cable, and phone settings.
Samsung officially unveiled its 2024 flagship Galaxy S24 smartphone lineup comprised of the regular S24, S24 Plus, and premium S24 Ultra models. However, it still has not received an update to address the reported bugs and issues.
There is the possibility of Samsung releasing an update in the future; however, the support page states that the Android Auto connectivity issues can be fixed by the vehicle’s manufacturer. However, even if Google does release updates, there is a possibility that some Android issues will persist.
Google’s Assistant Drive Mode, which is an alternative to Android Auto will be retired later this month.
