Still having issues with Android Auto after all this time. Regularly receive a message that I can't use it with the cable I have, but restarting the phone fixes the issue everytime so it's not the cable. Never happened with any of my Samsung phones or my wife's S10 in the same car (Zafira).

Is a lottery when I plug my phone in if it will decide to work that day or not. Not the end of the world I know but always decides to go up the creek when I'm late or in a rush...

Have you tried a different cable? I've had issues similar to yours with mine and a new cable sorted it.

I think I also cleared the data/cache from my android auto app and set it up fresh again. Have you done that?

The Pixel 6 Pro Got a June Feature Drop and Bunch of Goodies

For many months now, Google let us test a big quarterly update that would eventually turn into the June Pixel Feature Drop. It arrived via Android Beta program beginning in March and is on the 3rd beta at the moment. During testing, it lacked the “feature” part of the Feature Drop, as it was...

Not a single function I'll ever use :cry:

Yep tried a bunch of different cables, all of them worked with the S10 but none with the Pixel until I restart the phone and then AA works fine.

I think I did try clearing the cache etc. but was a while back so worth starting from scratch again, will give it a go and report back.

Anyone managed to get the at a glance features working?? I did the update last night but I can't get the doorbell camera or torch at a glance widget to work

I don't know if it's Fitbit or my Pixel 6 but I have to keep turning bluetooth off and on again to get it to connect and sync. I have a Versa 3.
This was happening before the June patch and continues after it also.

Similar thing with my Sense. I think it's a Fitbit issue as BT is solid for everything else.

I think you maybe right looking on the Fitbit forums. Cheers.

I was going to mull over buying a new handset for a bit longer but our Huawei Mate 20 Pro handsets are acting up more and more.

One more question for handset owners - how satisfied are you with the fingerprint sensor? I have read that it can be a bit faffy by not working first try or two, but a work-around would be to register the same finger twice?

It's not very good. Definitely the worst sensor I've used, and much much worse than the capacitive one that was on my P5. I reckon it works about 75% of the time. I'm yet to figure out how to get it to be more reliable too - you can put your whole thumb on there and it fails, then just a partial and it works. I've tried a factory reset, and registering fingerprints multiple times, but it's frustrating you can only register 5 total.

Fitbit bluetooth is horrible. Had no end of issues with Huawei lite series phones.

Well, my phone turned up today. Except I received a black non pro instead of the white pro I ordered! Absolutely unbelievable!

And get this, they want me to send it back for a refund and then order another one!

This is exactly what I thought!

Beats me for sure

I have given them a screenshot of the details on the phone.

That is cheeky monkey behaviour all right... I'd be telling them where to stick it at that point.

If they don't sort it today, that's exactly what I'll be doing.

I wonder if it could be the port in the phone or the car? Or is it even possible, the cable from the car port to the head unit?
