Good to see them working on the important issues affecting Android auto.

Glad they aren’t wasting time on things like notifications blocking navigation!

I disable the app on every phone, but now Maps has a mini version attached to navigation mode :/

How many phones do you own? One for every weekday? :)

And here I am just wanting the clock back in a safer location and the return of the weather.

Counterpoint for the sake of discussion: can’t you see what the weather is from inside your car?
I’m a weather nut myself so I want the weather back, but I can’t help but thinking: but why?

Sorry, I don’t have Android Auto… What you mean a safer location?
- bestusername ( @bestusername@aussie.zone ) English1•11 months ago
Closer to the drivers line of sight; like it used to be.
I’ve got a nice big 9" screen and the clock is still tiny, at the bottom of the screen and on the passenger side.
That’s just bloody stupid!
- XTornado ( @XTornado@lemmy.ml ) English1•11 months ago
Oh I see. I guess that depends also on the car and their screen position but yeah I guess the top and left (or right if driving on the other side) would be best.
My car is pretty old tbh, does new cars don’t put a clock on dashboard any more?
- bestusername ( @bestusername@aussie.zone ) English1•11 months ago
The main screen is my vehicles only clock.
If I close Android Auto, the factory clock is in a good spot and bigger.

My phone wallpaper is vertical. The car screen is horizontal. This is just going to annoy me.

This seems like it should have been an 0.9 feature.

Especially when all the default launcher background images suck, I just left mine dark
- db2 ( @db2@sopuli.xyz ) English2•11 months ago
I’ve been putting my thumb over the camera and taking a picture to get a black background since 2.2, at least until I get around to putting an actual black image on the device.

Imagine your car display suddenly revealing your nude big tiddie goth waifu to your passengers.

Who even asked for this? Give us proper features like allowing placing calls from third party apps.

Anyone have a fix for the VPN no connection issue?
- DeltaTangoLima ( @DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com ) English1•11 months ago
Sadly, my only fix is to use Tasker to disconnect Wireguard when connected to my car, then turn it back on again afterwards. It’s a shit answer to the problem, but it works. And, honestly, I probably wouldn’t benefit much from VPN while driving anyway.

WOW! So cool! Oh wait, the other word - meh.
