Troubleshooting tips to have Android Auto working again

The tech giant Google not only offers Android operating software for the smartphone but it also offers a similar experience for automobiles. Android Auto app is one of such company’s products that help you connect your phone to your car’s display in a format that makes it easy for you to keep your main focus on driving. This app was launched more than a year ago and grabbed a lot of attention then because of its UI and capabilities. But then for some using the app has become a nightmare as many times it stops working and especially for the Audi drivers. As of now, there is no ETA available but one of the company’s executives has responded to the issues on the new Android Auto version explaining that the company is now working on a fix. Till the company finds out a fix you can try out some of these Android Auto troubleshooting tips that will help you fix this issue.

Using the Android Auto app you can control features like navigation and maps, calls and text messages, and music. You can also use your voice to get help with your day. You can find routes, play your favourite songs and even check the weather. Just say “Hey Google” to get started. But if it isn’t working properly on your smartphone or car’s display then you can try some of our troubleshooting tips to make it work right.

How to troubleshoot Android Auto:

  • At any point of time, if Android Auto fails this might be because of a momentary fault within the app. SO in this case always restart your phone or else shut down or power off. Turn on your phone after a few minutes and launch Android Auto again to check if it’s working right.
  • If this doesn’t help then try updating your phone as well as the app as this will fix voice command issues. You can do this by heading to Settings on your device and check for Android updates. If any update is available then go for it. On updating your device go to the application and if Android Auto is in the list and then tap to update. In addition to the auto app, we would also recommend you to update other Google apps as well.
  • Check if your phone is compatible with the app or not. According to the company if you have Android 9 or below, get the Android Auto app on your phone. With Android 10, Android Auto is built in – so you don’t need the app to get started.
  • Also, check if the Android Auto app works in your country. Here in India, the app supports cars from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and more.
  • Do check that your car or stereo is compatible with Android Auto. Although the app is supported by more than 500 models, you can click here to check compatibility.
  • Also, try troubleshooting your car’s infotainment system. Check if you are opening an Android Auto app from the main menu. In case you don’t know how to restart the system then you can try switching off your cars for some time and then start it again.
  • Make an attempt to connect your phone to your vehicle using a USB cable while using the app on your vehicles’ display. Also, make sure your USB cable has support for data transfer as the app also doesn’t work if the cable is for charging purposes only.
  • Opening this option will slide out a list of approved and rejected cars. If accidentally it is in the rejected cars list then unblock it by removing this from the list and try pairing it again. But Check if the Add new cars to Android Auto option is enabled and then visit your Android Auto vehicle settings and then tap Previously connected cars. If this also doesn’t work then tap on the Menu and hit Forget all cars. Doing this will remove all the paired cars and you can again start fresh.
  • If none of the above works then clear cache and storage in the Android Auto app and start again while the app is not connected to your car. Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > See all X apps > Android Auto > Storage & cache.

How to turn on or off WhatsApp Disappearing messages feature on your smartphone

WhatsApp has officially announced the rollout of one of its much-awaited Disappearing Messages feature on its platform. This feature will allow the users to automatically delete a sent message after seven days, including any media sent. With the introduction of this feature your previously sent or received messages or any of the content will not be affected in the chat. This feature can be easily turned on or off for a particular chat or a group. If you are unaware of the WhatsApp disappearing messages feature then here our step-by-step guide to enable or disable this feature on your smartphone.

How to enable or disable disappearing messages on your device?

  • Open the WhatsApp chat.
  • Tap the contact’s name.
  • Tap Disappearing messages. Tap CONTINUE.
  • Select ON.
  • And to turn the feature off go on the contacts’ name
  • Tap disappearing messages
  • Continue and select off

In a similar way, this feature can be disabled or enabled in a group chat as well but only group admins can turn disappearing messages on or off. As we said earlier this setting won’t affect messages you previously sent or received in the chat. 

On turning this feature, the sent media, content, or message will disappear in the seven-day period. It should be noted the message will still disappear if the user doesn’t open WhatsApp in this set period however the preview of the message might still be displayed in notifications until WhatsApp is opened. In addition to this If a disappearing message is forwarded to a chat with disappearing messages off, the message won’t disappear in the forwarded chat.

Also, if you create a backup before a message disappears, the disappearing message will be contained within the backup. The messages will be erased when a user reinstates from a backup. So one can possibly forward or take a screenshot of a disappearing message and save it before it disappears. Also, you can save and copy the media content or take a photo of the disappearing message and save it before it disappears from your device.

Apple reduces App Store commission rate to 15 percent to support smaller developers

Apple has lifted curtains off a new App Store Small Business Program that aims benefit the vast majority of developers who sell digital goods and services on the store. Under this program, Apple will provide the developers with a reduced 15 percent commission on paid apps and in-app purchases if they earned up to $1 million in proceeds during the previous calendar year. Mind you! The App Store Small Business Program will launch on January 1, 2021.

During a period of unprecedented global economic challenge, apps have taken on new importance as many small businesses have built on their digital presence to reach their customers and communities. The program’s reduced commission means small developers and aspiring entrepreneurs will have more resources to invest in and grow their businesses in Apple’s App Store ecosystem.

Stating that small businesses are the backbone of the global economy and the beating heart of innovation and opportunity in communities around the world, Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, said, “We’re launching this program to help small business owners write the next chapter of creativity and prosperity on the App Store, and to build the kind of quality apps our customers love. The App Store has been an engine of economic growth like none other, creating millions of new jobs and a pathway to entrepreneurship accessible to anyone with a great idea. Our new program carries that progress forward — helping developers fund their small businesses, take risks on new ideas, expand their teams, and continue to make apps that enrich people’s lives.”

Apple further highlighted that the comprehensive details will be released in early December. Meanwhile, the App Store’s standard commission rate of 30 percent remains in place for apps selling digital goods and services and making more than $1 million in proceeds, defined as a developer’s post-commission earnings.

Additionally, small business owners will continue to benefit from Apple’s unparalleled suite of developer tools — including development applications, programming languages, a secure payment interface, and more than 250,000 essential software building blocks called APIs.

It was further added that the developers of all sizes have built successful businesses while benefitting from the App Store’s global reach encompassing users of the more than 1.5 billion Apple devices around the world in 175 countries and over 40 languages, with more than 180 local payment methods and 45 accepted currencies.

Apple concluded by adding that the new App Store Small Business Program will build on that progress to generate even more digital commerce and app innovations, support new jobs, and help small and independent developers continue to introducing amazing software to its users.

Is the iPhone 12 the best smartphone for gaming?

Is the iPhone 12 the best smartphone for gaming?

Apple has always been at the forefront of innovations in the smartphone market, ever since it released the original iPhone in 2007. That trend looks set to continue, with the iPhone 12 already making waves after its October release. The 14th generation of iPhone has undergone a few notable upgrades in its specifications, meaning that its gaming capabilities are much higher than its predecessors. For this reason, the 2020 offering could be set to once again change the face of the smartphone industry. Indeed, it could bring about a major shift in the way people play mobile games.

The Specs

Buyers of the iPhone 12 can choose between the standard iPhone storage options of 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. The new phones use the six-core Apple A14 Bionic processor, which is the brand new version of the central processing unit. The company claims that this runs up to 40 percent faster than the A12 version and 13 percent faster than the A14’s predecessor, the A13. It contains a next-generation neural engine, two Firestorm cores for high performance, and four Icestorm cores that are energy efficient. These enhanced specifications will vastly improve the smartphone’s capabilities.

In addition to performance, the display will be crisper and clearer than ever before. It uses Super Retina XDR OLED technology, a higher quality option that has been talked up for some time. In terms of resolution, the iPhone 12 offers 2532×1170 pixels with 460 ppi pixel density. One aspect that may be appealing to gamers who are at risk of dropping the phone on a regular basis is the Ceramic Shield. This glass-ceramic covering that was developed in collaboration with Corning Inc. makes the iPhone 12 tougher than any other smartphone and four times more likely to survive a drop.

What Does This Mean For the Gaming Market?

There is no doubt that the advanced specifications on Apple’s latest device will have a huge impact on the mobile gaming industry. In the early days of smartphones, simple, pick-up-and-play offerings reigned supreme because they loaded quickly and didn’t require state-of-the-art technology to work. But now that phones are capable of so much more, this could be set to change.

Of course, some games will still enjoy massive playing figures on the mobile screen. Casino titles, for instance, entered the latest phase of their evolution on mobile and this is now the preferred platform for online casino players. Some of the top Vegas online slots, such as Book of Dead, Monopoly Big Event, and Spartacus: Gladiator of Rome look much better when played from the smaller screen as the picture quality is more refined. Developers create new slots with mobile players in mind, and portable devices are one of their main considerations.

One of the most notable things about the iPhone 12 is its ability to play console-level games. Anyone who purchases the iPhone 12 series will be granted three months of access to Apple’s online gaming platform and Google Stadia rival, Apple Arcade. Because mobile players will now be able to play advanced games like Team Sonic Racing, The Pathless, and Dread Nautical, other mobile developers may look into how they can also offer a more advanced game library.

There is no denying that the iPhone 12 has some seriously powerful capabilities and could be about to change the mobile gaming scene. The biggest development could be the introduction of Apple Arcade, which will bring a console-style gaming experience to the portable phone.
