Android auto / battery life

[Stevengreen78]

Had nothing but trouble since downloading the beta. Shorter battery life, can't connect properly to android auto in the car, phone constantly resets itself and overheats when connected. Constant freezing.

Have you cleared the system cache after installing Beta? Battery life seems improved for me and no connection issues.

@Richmar83 Same here regarding battery life, and noticed as well that the phone gets less warmer even while using android auto in wireless mode.
There's a few bugs all around the experience but in the overall found that is way faster and better, just needs the stable version to be released now

Battery life seems good for me, and the Android Auto issue was present in the non beta version. It is always good to do a full reset after installing the beta to clear out any left over bits of Android 12. Also with Android Auto, I have changed my setting to always connect and this has made a big difference to the disconnecting, doesn't happen for me now but overheating was present in Android 12 as it is now but only when Auto is connected.

@Stevengreen78 ,

I understand it's frustrating when your device gets in the way of your routine activities. 🙁 However, during the Beta Programme not all apps will work as expected. This is due to app incompatibility. Nevertheless, it is assumed that this problem will be resolved with the release of the official software version.

The same applies to battery performance, software is still in the optimization phase and battery performance can vary constantly and be unsatisfactory at times. 

Have you tried @theoracle 's tips? 🙂

Yes I understand there will be issues, and I have tried the above suggestions but still no better. The general battery life has shortened

Have you changed the cable? It may be as simple as that.
