Android phone repeatedly disconnecting from Android Auto (Cause and solution for some folk)
-
I recently got a new phone a Motorola edge 40 neo. When I used it for Android Auto plugged into the car for AA or if I tried it on my Africa Twin it would invariably operate normally for a while, then repeatedly cycle on and off AA every couple of minutes. I never had this when using my old Motorola G8 or G7. I tried a few different leads and that did not make any difference, then I tried using wireless AA in the car and it never glitched. Long story short after a lot off Googling and my own observations, I realised that the glitching started when the phone Battery was 100% full. Some phones are set up so that Android issues regular notifications when the battery is 100% full. Flashing the phone screen at a regular interval (completely pointless??). This appears to cause Android auto to glitch. Anyhow, I turned this notification off on the phone (not easy to find as its part of the OS) and have had no issues since. My old MotoG8 (Android 11) and my wifes old MotoG7 (Android 10) had the 100% charged warning switched off by default. This might help someone who is using a Carpuride or Chigee device and has had disconnect issues. Before I found out about this issue I tried the phone on the bike running MRA natively and when the phone screen was live running the app it did not glitch even if the battery was at 100%.

It is a good suggestion if your phone has this notifcation. I've never encounter issues with 100% full. But as far as i know my phone does give any notifications when full. Maybe i did disable it already.
I have a phone for navigation only. So i disabled everything what is not used for navigation. App notifications is one them.
