Android auto UI lag

[matt095]

I have been experiencing issues with android auto on both my old S21 Ultra and S24 Ultra which I don't believe should be a problem given the resources both devices have.

When playing any sort of music or audio, the UI of android auto will become very laggy, causing maps among other things to be completely unusable.

Now, I'm trying to diagnose this problem and attempting to figure out if this is Android Auto itself, the phone, or my car's headunit.

Given the phone should be doing all of the heavy lifting, i heavly suspect this is some sort of issue on Samsung devices, and this is backed up by research I have done.

The video below demonstrates the problem i am having.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the same phone, on a different car? If not, then i may be able to rule out the phone and it might be the headunit

Many thanks for help in advance

Same here! I have a s24 ultra and the same thing has happened to me since the last update. Could you fix it?

Nope. Google are useless and just ask you for bug reports that they can't find an issue with.

I've tried downgrading AA, play services, clearing caches, upgrading to beta AA, resetting my headunit among anything else you can think of.

I believe this is some performance issue caused by Google assistant, as that is very unreliable.

Out of interest, when you experience this problem, can you activate Google assistant, then cancel and see if the lag disappears for a bit? That seems to help on my end

I found this comment:

Funnily enough, i was having issues with AA wired. Fixed it by turning off Ringtone Sync and Music Share in the Bluetooth options menu. Don't know why it fixed it but it did 😂

I tried it and for about 1 hour that I do not have the problem, I think it worked. Maybe you can try it!

Thanks mate that's really helpful, always down to try other options! I've disabled them - will report back if that helps when I next go on a drive

Unfortunately, that made no difference
