So, I just switched to Android from Windows Phone after being a very happy Windows user for a decade. Something I'm used to just working is Cortana's Driving Mode. It would automatically start when my phone paired to the Bluetooth in my car & it would announce all calls & text messages and allow me to respond to texts with voice dictation. These announcements would automatically pause whatever audio I had coming from my phone, or present itself as a "phone call" and Ford Sync would interrupt radio to allow the announcement to be made. All other notifications would be silenced. I could say Hey Cortana whenever & ask it to do whatever I wanted it to. It worked & it worked well.
Since switching to Android a month ago, I have been frustrated beyond words. I've used Android Auto, Car Dashdroid, & Drivemode apps. It's all trash. While driving, my phone constantly locks up & doesn't notify me when I get texts. It just goes crazy. I don't need or want a driving interface. I don't want anything to draw over the screen, & I don't want there to be tons of complicated options. Cortana for Android doesn't have near the functionality that it's Windows 10 Mobile counterpart has, so that's not an option. I just want something similar to what I'm used to. Something that works without being intrusive or slowing my phone down. Can someone help me please?
