THANK YOU!!

You can fix this back to whatever you want in Good Lock -> Home up -> Home Screen Settings This annoyed me too and had to wait a week to fix my Galaxy tab as they had not updated home up for that device before rollout 1000% agreed with 1-4. At least #1 was sort of easily fixed with "combined"...

Does it work when you are on your home wifi? I had an issue with Comcast mail, where it worked on my home wifi, and when my phone was on verizon towers. But, I had an AT&T wifi hotspot in my car and the credentials always failed. Long investigation found Comcast was blocking the AT&T IP for my...

That is not a new feature. Been using that for years.

If I recall correctly, specifically for Sirius, if you check the box for the app on Android Auto, it will still open the app on your phone when you start Android Auto if you have used the app while not connected. It will not start playing with the Start Music Automatically. But it will open the...

You are correct. I had forgotten about Pandora since I stopped using it specifically because of that a very long time ago. If I remember correctly, if you have Pandora tied to your Google account (for Google home, etc), then it will open on your phone if someone plays from a speaker at your...

There are two things that can allow music to automatically start. Both are in the setting at: Settings-> Apps -> Android Auto-Configure in Android Auto. The first is the radio toggle in the "startup" section: "Start Music Automatically". Make sure it is turned off. The second is under the...

My S23 Ultra (Verizon) and my wife's got the July update on the 4th. So, at least two phones got it before the tablet.

And I make sure the cables, if not hardwired to the HU, are secured in a way that they do not pull out or disassemble from vibration (tight electrical tape wrap, zip ties, etc)

This used to be available within the main settings of the app. They removed it and put it in the developer settings for reasons that only Google knows. I only knew about it because using wireless AA interferes with any hotspots you might be using since it consumes the wifi antenna. I use the...

You can also turn off wireless AA connections in developer settings in AA. First you have to setup developer settings in Android Auto: Settings -> Connected Devices -> Android Auto Scroll down and tap "Version" about ten times (When you get close, a pop up tells you "x more times") Once you...

There is/was an issue with Wifi 6 and Samsung phones on One UI 6. It was supposedly fixed. But, you could try disabling wifi 6 on your router and see if that fixes it. You would have to refer to the manual for your specific router to find directions on how to do this. Others have reported that...

To be clear, RCS is not SMS (as you even mention that SMS is your fall back) SMS has been around for decades and is very reliable as all manufacturers and carriers have worked out the kinks. I remember when it all got started, and it wasn't nearly as reliable as it is today. Apple has no real...

Extend unlock also works with Bluetooth devices and on body detection. For me, this is better than the unlock with routines option for bluetooth

It does do some of the things that apps like Tasker will do. However, it is not NEARLY as versatile as Tasker in particular. Try calling an http get request, or linking to a home automation that ISN'T Smartthings, or activating a VPN tunnel. The user base is not the same and it isn't really a...
