VW android auto connectivity issue

[yzh112]

I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It always disconnects when I plug the physical data cable to my Allspace. My wife's iphone never has this issue with same car. Does it to do with Huawei's compatibility with VW or it's a generic Android thing? Any solution for this? Many thanks.

I have a Pixel and very very rarely have any issues
Occasionally it won’t connect if I jump out and then back into the car very quickly

Wife's iphone hasnt skipped a beat

my AA on Huawei Mate 20 Pro can be fine on one trip but the next it drops in and out - always when i start the next trip shortly after stopping the car form the first

ive posted a video on the Tigaun Australia FB page

Same issue here. Samsung Galaxy S20 and Android Auto can be quite flaky at times. I used to think it was the cable, but I have spent money on high quality USB-C cables and have churned through quite a few. I'll be taking mine back to the dealer.

it looks like a common problem for Android users.

I’ve had a couple of these issues with my Google pixel. I’ve cleaned out the pocket fluff from the phones connection slot and that seems to have helped so far.

how did you clean it. thanks

I use a pin to clean it out. Seems a common problem with other method suggested online.

Have also ordered a cable with a connector that stays in the phone and connects magnetically to the cable to see if this makes a difference.

I bought some of these Universal Fast Charge Data USB-Type-C-Magnetic-Cable-For-Google-HUAWEI-OPPO. They have a plug that stays in the phone’s USB-c Slot permanently, and keeps the pocket dust out. Sits in there firmly. No android auto connection problems since. Needed to buy a couple so I can charge the phone when not in the car!

If you buy one, make sure it says for data and charge- the first one I bought did not do the data.
