    AndroidAuto bug that's existed for years with ZERO fixes. How do we get Google's attention on this?

    Android Auto with what seems to be any vehicle head unit, and Android device, using the built in text messaging features is just straight up broken. There's a huge community post of it here...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 GS8+ VZW - Lock screen severely limited and gimped?

    GPS issue, satellites in view but not in use!!
