Is anyone else using the n920c variant of this phone with a stock firmware and android auto?
I've used a nexus 6 and the AT&T "n920A" variant of the phone with android auto and haven't had any issues. With this "c" version, however, most android auto features work, but it doesn't seem to want to read back text messages to me. Sometimes it works, but usually it doesn't.
I'll get the notification on the android auto screen, and then tap the notification. Then there's the little tone that plays before it reads the message, but the tone gets cut off and the message is never read.
Every other feature of android auto that I've been able to test seems to work fine. I can ask random questions, send text messages, use navigation, listen to music, etc. It's just the reading back of text messages that seems to be whacked.
I've tried both the 1.2 and 1.3 versions of android auto with the same lack of success. If I clear cache/data and re-setup android auto, it MIGHT read text messages once or twice before it stops again...
If others are using the same phone (with stock firmware) and having the same issue, I'll really feel much better about this. If others using the same phone are NOT having the same issues, I'll start wondering if something is wrong with my particular device...
thanks

Maybe more of a hardware question than an app question, but it happens with this particular app. I needed a texting app for my stock K1 running LP 5.1.1
I decided upon MightyText as I didn't want another phone number as some of the other apps provide. MightyText syncs my phone and the K1 within seconds. If I get a text to the phone, I get a notification on the tab within a second or two. Same happens if I send a text from the tablet, I get a notification on the phone again within a second or two. I realize that the phone is using it's cellular radio to send the text. Phone is a rooted LG Optimus G Pro running KK.
Here's where it gets strange! If I turn off WiFi and BT on the phone, when I write a text on the tablet and hit send, my phone receives and sends the text. WiFi and BT are still off. I looked to see if the app was somehow turning the radios on, on the phone, but it looks like they are staying off (unless they are coming on for a fraction of a second). I'm trying to figure out how the tablet is communicating with the phone if the radios are turned off. Also, the app has a phone icon. if I hit the phone icon on the tablet app, the phone makes a call to whoever I happened to be texting. I cannot talk through the tablet (I don't think), but the call does go through. I'm unsure what the functionality of this item is...why would I want the tablet to initiate a phone call when I cannot talk through the tablet?
Phone radio you mean phone, internet (3G/4G) here?
Mighty text working through network/internet. I will take simple explanation like this. SMS -> your phone -> SMS send to mighty text service -> mighty text service passes it to your table. Similar your tablet sends the text -> text go to mighty text service -> Mightytext service passes it to your device AND to the receiver on your behalf.
MightyText function like a bridge to connect your phone and other device and running through the internet.
Once your device connects with MightyText service, MightyText will become a behalf assistant to receiving and send your message.
Thats mean your sensitive information will be readable by a 3rd person (or group person who know?)
My nexus 6p has been working perfectly with my 2016 vw for past couple of months. Now, I can no longer send a text message or hangouts message. Still connects perfectly, makes calls and navigates by voice but no longer listens when I want to dictate a message. This seemed to happen overnight as it has always worked perfectly before and I am not aware of having made any changes to my phone or car. How weird. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm having the same issue with my Galaxy S7 Edge running Android Auto on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. I went on vacation and my car sat for a while and now when I'm in Android Auto mode I can't receive and send text messages. I ask Google for the weather or to do a calculation and I get nothing. However, if I ask Google to dial someone whether in my contacts for not, it dials the number. Does this make any sense? There doesn't appear to be any official Android Auto support. I contact Pioneer and they told me my contacts weren't syncing with Android Auto which was strange enough when they said it, but given the fact that I don't get a reply when I ask GoogleNow for the weather means my contacts shouldn't have anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all,
Phone: N960U from T-Mobile, 128GB version.
I am by in large not getting notifications unless I open any given app, then I receive all notifications for the given app instantly.
Exception seems to be SMS messages.
This also seems to be impacted by my cell coverage, as the issue happens more at work where my cell service is poor, but we have strong wifi which I automatically connect to.
For example, someone sends me a message in Signal, I won't get any notification until I open Signal. However, if someone sends me a text message, Signal will present that SMS notification right away, but not message notifications even if they are waiting.
Same situation applies for anything that is data backed (email, browser, etc.) I say data because I know SMS is not handled the same way as data. I also do get notifications for things like reminders, phone calls (not sure that's a notification), and other non network related situations.
I am not using any power save modes and have exhausted all my google search finds of enabling/disabling different kind of notification settings.
My phone is not set to do not disturb either.
It almost seems like when the screen is off, I am losing data connectivity which is causing the apps to not update, but I would expect them to update when the screen turns on. Instead I have to manually open the app to trigger the sync.
Anyone have suggestions?
These notifications issues all started for me when my note 8 got upgraded to Android 8.0 and continue to be issues on the note 9. Sorry no consolation.
Primarily Telegram and i think what's app.

I've been having issues with notifications in general for a year or so now across a few devices on and before Oreo, WhatsApp is the worst, it doesn't play well with custom ROMs, but even on the note9 pure stock is still a problem, my last ROM on my le eco le max 2 I used to have to lock these apps in the task switcher, I'm not certain if that's an option with the note9, I wasn't getting Gmail notifications either on this but that seems to be okay now I've disabled battery optimisation for it, have you tried that?
So I have a Sprint stock Galaxy S10 5G (U.S. model) with the latest version of Google Assistant. In order to use my phone with Android Auto, I need two services turned on: "App info from your devices" and "Contact info from your devices" must both be enabled.
The strange thing is that at random intervals (could be a couple minutes, could be several days) both of those settings will automatically switch from "On" to "Paused". I don't know what causes it, but I often don't discover it until I am already driving and want to use voice recognition to place a call or send a text, which I can't. Instead I get this annoyingly cheery voice that says, "Sure. Let me get some more information to help with that.", and I have to pull over, reach for the phone, and turn those permissions back on again.
I even tried, sitting at my desk, enabling those Google Assistant settings, rebooting the phone in safe mode, and it immediately came up with the permissions turned back off. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing them to automatically turn off like that? Thanks.
Getting the exact same error as well as auto fill update prediction error from Google. Using latest google services v19.6.28 beta and 10.81.10.21 for Google app (also beta). Also when selecting voice match->Add devices it populates face match instead as shown in the attached picture...
This is happening on 3 different A71 devices in my family.
When someone calls, to them, the phone is ringing. However, to me, nothing is happening. After they give up and hang up, I receive a notification from the phone app, stating that I had a missed call. This started occurring after the Android 11 update. This must be a widespread issue because it's happening frequently (but not always) on 3 our of 3 devices we own. I wish Samsung would get their stuff together.
I have android 11 too and it works fine for me you can try to backup your photos and your stuff and reinstall android 11 using odin
i have the same issue. i found out that turning off mobile data that i can recieve calls. But i need my mobile data to be on. i tried flashing the stock firmware but with no luck, even firmware from a different region.
i hope someone has a solution for this problem.
