Android auto acting flaky

[cables2590]

Does anyone know how Android auto is detected through USB C port? For some reason my phone will charge with absolutely no issues, but when I try to use Android auto, the slightest movement can disconnect the phone and not detect Android auto. At the same time the phone continues to be charging fine. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

AA has been rock solid for me. What cable are you using?

I'm having issues with Android auto as well. Sometimes it'll just charge my phone and not open Android auto. When it does open, navigation freezes the majority of the time. I'm using cable from Google

Try updating Android to NMF26O. That will probably solve your problems.

So, you're on 7.1.1, your'e using a Google USB cable and AA is still flaky? What car, if I might ask?

I'm using a Google cable. You might try one.

I know this might sound funny, but I cleaned out the type C port on the phone because it was really dusty. After I cleaned it I drove for 45 min and the phone did not disconnect once. Usually in my drive home from work I have to keep reconnecting it every time I move it. So this might have been my problem. Thanks guys

Excellent suggestion.

Excellent suggestion.

Flaky for me too and it has been for the last 4-5 weeks:

ROMs tried: 7.1.1 and 7.12 ROMs like Resurrection Remix, PureNexus, PixelDust (my current one with 7.1.2 May update).

Cables I've tried: Google official cable for the Google Pixel (I have the Pixel not the XL), iOrange braided USBC to USBA cable

Vehicle: Audi A4 2017

Symptoms: sometimes when I connect my phone to the car via USB, the Audi will say please check your device's screen for instructions...a few seconds later, car will just disconnect. I'll notice on the phone that Substratum will say that Google Play Services keeps stopping.

What helps:
- A fresh reboot. It's not definite yet, but because this ROM has the ability to change auto-start / keep awake / run in background for apps, for both Google Play Services and Android Auto, I just told it the following:
- Don't keep in background
- Don't keep awake
- Allow auto-start

- On fresh reboot, don't connect USB cable until car starts playing music over bluetooth.

I don't think it's an issue with my USB-C connector but i'll try cleaning it per the suggestions here. Haven't tried that yet.
