    Android Auto and Pandora Issue

    Does the same thing happen with Google Music (or Spotify)? Why not use Android Auto to answer your call (it sounds like you're using your car's phone system to do so)?

    Voice Control Spotify

    Yes you can, no problem. I use it every day for just that purpose. I say things like, "play songs by moxy fruvous" or "play album bargainville".

    Double tap side-button for Lens stopped working

    When I got the phone, the double-tap side button to launch Google Lens worked fine (albeit of questionable value.) Now I just get this error: I've done the normal clear-cache/reboot, force stop, etc. steps. (This isn't my first rodeo.) Thoughts? It's not a big deal, really, as it's not...
