Fix Android Auto issues: Android Auto is an official technology that enables smartphones to connect to the car display system. Vehicle manufacturers were provided legal authorization and technology to add it on several entry-level and high-end cars. The combination of vehicle and Android smartphone creates a unique communication line that prevents accidents, and consumers will never miss a call. It adds up additional functions such as listening to the songs in a vehicle without connecting USB flash drive or SD card and play music over the phone.

OnePlus exploded in the market, when the company launched flagship killer devices around the world. The budget-friendly high-end smartphone’s literally had every single piece of technology that rival brands were selling in the market. I have used the word “LITERALLY” because OnePlus manufacturer started to tone down smartphone features and hiking the price on newer devices.

Android Auto requires specific requirements and it includes Hardware + Software, and non-functioning services contribute to several aspects. Today, we are going to explore the reasons why Android Auto is not working, and how to fix them.

How to Fix Android Auto Not Working

1. Compatibility

An Android consumer cannot outrun hardware requirements. Several users could not figure out the contributing problem due to lack of information on the official website. Allow us to provide in-depth information on the Android software requirements, and specific Android Auto requirement.

Country:

Those, who are aware of the technology limitations, the Android Auto is not available in several countries. I’m going to list down a number of countries that integrated Android Auto on wide-range of vehicles.

Australia
Argentina
Austria
Bolivia
Brazil
Canada
Colombia
Costa Rica
Chile
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
Guatemala
Germany
France
India
Italy
Ireland
Mexico
New Zealand
Paraguay
Puerto Rico
Panama
Peru
Russia
Spain
Switzerland
United States
United Kingdom
Uruguay
Venezuela

If your native country or region is not listed above, then consider yourself unlucky. The officials are working on expanding the services globally, so do not lose faith in technology.

Android Version:

Don’t get surprised by device incompatibility because only 10.4% consumers are using Android 9.0 version. The official developers of Google’s Android announced that Android Auto supports on Android 5.0 or above devices. I recommend OnePlus consumers to update the software up to Nougat 7 and make sure to subscribe for a higher data plan.

I don’t prefer to repeat the same sentence twice, but your device must have an active internet connection. I recommend 3G connection or above for seamless connectivity.

2. Vehicle Compatibility

Android management reached out hundreds of popular vehicle manufacturers for collaboration. Google ahead of Apple in terms of collaboration and open projects, and they tied up with hundreds of car manufacturers.

Android Auto is an advanced technology that is not available on every single model of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Vauxhall, UniMax, Tata Motors, and more. Let us take Tata Motors for instance, where the manufacturer integrated Google’s Android technology on Nexon (2017) only.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors launches hundreds of passenger vehicles every year. The concept applies to big names in the industry such as Subaru, Suzuki, Skoda, Renault, Peugeot, etc. Of course, big brand names such as Audi, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Citroën, Ford, and more welcomed the technology in several cars.

In case, if you are scratching your head to learn about the vehicle compatibility, then check on the official car webpage or Android Auto webpage. Due to technology limitations and budget-friendly oriented solutions miss out Android Auto because it increases expenditure cost & eliminates budget-friendly tag in the vehicle market.

3. Double-check Hardware Connectivity

Currently, Android Auto supports USB cable connectivity and Car receiver technology. I did not mention limitations properly, but apparently cable length above 5ft long disturbs connectivity. The company also states that using an extension or unsupported USB cable can trigger the issue.

Android consumers must bring along USB cable bundled in the phone box and third-party or non-OEM verified USB cable can create distortions in connectivity. Using third-party USB cable is not allowed as the technology is fairly new for the Industrial manufacturers.

Millions of car commuters modify the vehicle in some way, and it invites drawbacks that they do not know about it. You must have witnessed people changing “Car Receivers” and choosing an aftermarket solution instead.

I recommend sticking to stock “Car Receivers” or “Bluetooth Receiver” because the drivers & compatibility meets official Android Auto application. Seeking support from the receiver manufacturer can resolve the problem, but switching back to the stock solution is recommended.

4. Video Flow Error

Despite owning a vehicle supporting AUTO technology, and pairing it successfully, still leading to “NO DISPLAY.” Millions of consumers suffering from Android Auto working smoothly on the device, but there is showing up on the car display. I’m not sure, whether it is a BUG or GLITCH, but you can resolve it by reconnecting it.

Step 1: Go to “Car Settings.”

Step 2: Click on “Smartphone Connections.”

Step 3: Reconnect to Android Auto

Your phone will appear in the list, but it will be disabled for some unknown reasons. The functions won’t appear & adjusting settings is not possible, when the vehicle is on the operation.

5. Enable Android Auto

Unfortunately, manufacturers keeping AUTO function disabled by default, and you need to enable it manually. The user-interface differs from one vehicle to another motor vehicle, but you should be able to find it after exploring through the settings.

Step 1: Open Car Settings.

Step 2: Swipe down until you find “APPS” and click on it to open more settings.

Step 3: Select “Android Auto.”

Step 4: Tap to enable “Enable after USB Connection.”

Make sure to set USB connection as “ALWAYS” and it will work every time you connect the phone.

Bottom Line

Applications crafted by brands prone to BUGS & GLITCHES and a reputed company would never accept it. I recommend uninstalling Android Auto on phone and resetting software of the car. A simple technique can resolve major problems, and I already mentioned that Android Auto is fairly new technology, so update the car firmware for a smoother experience.

[Fixed] Heating issues on OnePlus 6T, 7, 7 Pro and 7T

No Comments on [Fixed] Heating issues on OnePlus 6T, 7, 7 Pro and 7T

Fix Overheating Problem on OnePlus Phones: Hardware oriented Smartphone industry packed phones rose to fame, ever since Qualcomm & Mediatek started to sell Smartphone processors to manufacturers. Overheating is an issue that the majority of the low-end, mid-range, and high-end phones suffer from it. Of course, the phone processors may rival the PC mechanism, but they do not have enough space for the cooling system.

In a race to ship a dominant portable device, smartphone manufacturers cannot fit a physical cooling system in the device. Manufacturers such as AMD and Intel highly depending on the stock cooling system, but portable devices aren’t lucky in this case.

OnePlus successfully sold million devices all over the world and millions of consumers lining for the upgrade. The existing consumers don’t seem too satisfied as OnePlus 7, 7 Pro and 7T heating issues are coming up lately. The concept of “HEATING” contributes several factors and we cannot blame the brand over trivial cause. Allow us to list down some of the known issues that trigger overheating and slow down the performance.

How to Check Phone Temperature on OnePlus Phones

Overheating is a serious problem that can cause a smartphone Li-ion battery (Lithium-ion battery) to explode. Do not overlook the problem because it can convert into permanent damage to the phone motherboard, and you may end up paying for another OnePlus 7 device. Manufacturers do not cover negligence & intentional damages under warranty. Customer service center tries to convince consumers that they do not own a defective device, and you must learn the basics to avoid such scenarios.

Method 1: OnePlus Battery Settings

Step 1: From Android 6/Marshmallow, you can check the temperature by tapping on “Settings.”

Step 2: Scroll down till you find “battery” and tap on it to open.

Step 3: The battery temperature appears in the section, and it isn’t happening for me.

I got another method that will confirm overheating suspicions.

Method 2: Using CPU-Z App

Step 1: Head straight to the Google Play Store, and then search for CPU-Z. Make sure to download the application from the official store.

Step 2: Launch newly installed CPU-Z from the menu and then head straight to the “battery” section to check out the current temperature.

The modern specification application provides real-time temperature and it might not show you accurate numbers, but an approximate value instead. CPU-Z is a prominent & most trusted application developed for Windows OS, and then the official developers released an Android app.

How to Fix Heating issues on OnePlus 6T, 7, 7 Pro and 7T

1. Faulty Battery

OnePlus smartphone manufactured reputed Chinese hardware company and the computerized quality test thoroughly check them for faulty parts. One of my Android devices suffering from intensive heating and the temperature was reaching above 60° without connecting to the charger dock.

I replaced the stock battery with an alternative original battery that I purchased from a store. A faulty battery temperature rises significantly higher, even when the device is sitting idle and nothing is running in the background. OnePlus 7th generation phones come with a one-year warranty and claim the warranty immediately.

Solution: Reach out local authorised service centre.

2. Third-Party Variables

I do not carry USB cable & charging brick along with me during short journeys. Instead, I use my companion rig and it is not recommended whatsoever. Every USB-C or USB-B may seem similar technology, but the functions might differ from one and another.

By using third-party USB cable or charging brick can trigger heating and if you use it continuously, then it will impact charging port. You don’t want to cause chip-level damage and the extensive damage occurs by using it one-time.

OnePlus recommend using OEM certified charging brick and cable. Remember, even one volt & ampere (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) can cause chip-level damage. The $1 solutions and Amazon basic charging kit don’t count under OEM certified accessories.

Solution: Check out OnePlus Store (Automatically redirects to the country official website)

3. Multiple Applications Running

The android operating system evolved over the years, and RAM management has improved along the way. In modern times, utility applications prefer to run in the background such as Messenger, Twitter, WhatsApp, UPI Payments, Wire payment applications, Shopping apps, and more.

Google Chrome application runs in the background and it consumes a lot of RAM & resources. Chrome can work up the CPU and it can put a lot of stress on the remaining resources. Combining a few applications running in the background together drastically increases the CPU stress level.

Connecting to the internet triggers synchronization process and it connects to Google mail and Social media apps. Transferring large files over internet to cloud storage builds up a lot of heat inside the phone. OnePlus software developers recommend keeping the sync-on disabled permanently. The official Android developers also recommend keeping Sync-off, when connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi or 4G.

Solution: Close background apps

4. Using While Charging

Be it an Android phone or OnePlus phone, keeping the device busy, while charging does build up heat, and causing malfunction. Overtime usage, while charging a device does impact battery performance and chip-level disaster.

For smoother performance, Android consumers are recommended to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2G or 4G, and cloud synchronization. PUBG mobile players purchasing the beast 7th generation phones, but playing longer periods on a portable machine doesn’t have a happy ending.

Do not presume that using out of the box charging brick & USB cable does not promote overheating. You have to keep in mind that overheating triggered by using power banks & USB charging as well. Unfortunately, phone consumers cannot install the cooling system on a portable device.

5. Restart Android Phone

A small change can bring a big difference, and I believe in the popular saying. OnePlus consumers do not provide enough sleep time for the powerful machine in the smartphone market. Even though the 7th generation OnePlus device might stand out of the crowd, still it requires an hour of sleep.

The portable machine flows with electricity and it may not require an hour of shut down. However, experts claim that it is a good habit to provide OnePlus 7, 7 Pro and 7T edition a quick restart to free up RAM and other aspects of the phone.

Bottom Line

An overheating phone should never be ignored by consumer and service center because it can lead towards explosion. Even though previous generation of OnePlus reported for an explosion, and the newer devices weren’t yet, I recommend taking enough measures to avoid it. Let us know what causing your phone to overheat in the comment section below.

How to Fix OnePlus Microphone/Headphone is Not Working

1 Comment on How to Fix OnePlus Microphone/Headphone is Not Working

Fix OnePlus Microphone/Headphone is not working: OnePlus is a flagship killer smartphone arrived in the portable device market several years ago. The manufacturer left an appreciative scar in the hearts of millennial and it doesn’t seem to disappear anytime soon. Rival manufacturers are seeking for an opportunity to dethrone the flagship killer by utilizing a petty mistake.

Folks have reported that OnePlus latest models are failing to produce Audio output and Microphone input via headphone. There are numerous reports emerged stating that the Microphone and Speaker not working in OnePlus 6T, 7, 7 Pro and 7T in-game while playing multi-player games like PUBG-M.

One tiny mistake can turn the tables against the OnePlus manufacturer, but we have a few solutions that you might give a shot to stabilize the situation.

How to Fix OnePlus Microphone/Headphone is Not Working

1. Microphone, Earpiece and Headphone Jack Not Working

We have to address the elephant in the room and take on the major issue first hand. No one can communicate with the loved ones and business people if the entire audio chipset is not functioning. Recent software updates from the manufacturer messed up the entire build and the software failing to take hardware to full extent.

Android smartphones gifted with safe mode function, which load Android OS drivers only. The Safe Mode leaves other apps in the bunker, and the counter interruption application does not affect the performance whatsoever. You can use the opportunity to identify the culprit or the end zone of the root cause.

Solutions:

Get into OnePlus Android safe mode and test the functions for software failure.
Reach out the nearest OnePlus service centre to get it a quick checkup.

The audio chipset failure is occurring in latest 5.0.7 update + 5.0.6 update.

2. Turn Off Voice Apps

The 2019 year has witnessed innovation in voice commands applications and services. Android smartphone directly equipped with voice services such as “OK Google” and OnePlus-own voice service. These audio services run in the background listening to the conversation quietly like a night wolf. The microphone in the Headphones and Dual internal microphones are at work constantly.

Most demanding games such as PUBG-M have an algorithm to suppress noise gate, which requires maximum utilization of the Main microphone and Secondary microphone. The Google voice app running in the background cannot give away the main source of the function to another demanding app. Thus, we have a counter-fight between voice command apps and multiplayer games.

Solution: Turn off voice searches and actions.

3. Bluetooth Headset Microphone Not Working

Bluetooth headsets manufacturers are bundling the modern generation wireless headphones with an advanced microphone. Interestingly, folks have reported that callers are unable to pick up voice waves from the wireless headphones. No one has come across the solution on the issue yet, and Bluetooth 4.0+ does not have such drawbacks either.

Solution:

Launch an inbuilt audio recorder to test microphone functionalities quickly.
You can determine the quality based on the audio delay and shutters. Assuming the delay occurred then the wireless headphone microphone is not good enough to send & receive audio wave’s real-time.
The recording comes out sharp & crystal clear, and then you may have discovered an internal bug.

Report the bug to the OnePlus community so that the official developers can investigate the matter further.

4. Echo & Unclear Voice

The millennial consume considerable period to understand the hardware industry as none of the devices are 100% dust-proof in reality. There is always a probability of dust damages regardless of 100% protection against dust. The small dust particles are capable enough to enter into the vents to block the audio including microphone wavelengths as well.

The tiny particles do not seem to harm the device at the beginning, but they can gain mass over time by combining with other relevant dust particles. Cleaning the vents once in a while is a good habit, and it keeps the device from harvesting “inorganic” or “organic” dust.

Solution: Take a cotton bud and start cleaning the audio input and audio output vents.

5. Reset your OnePlus phone

OnePlus eliminated stock Android interface from the entire root system to apply Oxygen OS custom interface. The experts within the industry are familiar with the Oxygen OS bugs & glitches. I blame the Oxygen OS for causing dramatic & petty glitches that go unnoticed by the OnePlus team.

Solution: Hard Reset Android Device.

Worst Case Scenario: Do not update the software as it invites newer & unfamiliar bugs to the arsenal.

Conclusion

The obsession of manufacturers to take full control over the interface, we have to bear the consequences of custom ROMS like Oxygen OS. None of the blame goes to the Official Android developers as the stock Android OS smoothen millions of consumers end-user experience. Let us know what solution worked in your favour in the comment section below.
