Hey guys. I just test drove the Charger and I like the car, but I was a little unsure if it's going to get Android Auto. I read a press release that Chrysler put out back in January saying that they were going to add Android auto "in 2016" but that didn't specify if their current 2016 lineup is going to get it. The dealer told me that all 2015 and 2016 vehicles with the 8.4 Uconnect screen are going to receive Android Auto, but I'm a little wary.
I don't want to buy a car based on it having Android Auto or not, but it's a huge nice to have for me and I'd be bummed to purchase a brand new vehicle and miss out by 1 model year.
Thanks.
I would assume 2015 is not getting it, but maybe 2016. My 2015 300c never got the update the 2016 got, where you could pin anything to the quick button area. I would assume only the 2017 models will get AA

Thanks for the info. I was thinking the same thing- only the 2017 Chrysler vehicles will see it. The screen on the Charger is resistive and I believe a requirement of Android Auto is a capacitive screen so that seems like a giveaway that none of the 2016 vehicles will be updated for it.
I received the Sprint OTA update 'N950USQU2BQJB' a few days ago here in California which carried a security patch and Google Play Services update version 11.7.46 which has been terrible on my battery and particularly Pixel XL & OnePlus users as well as other devices according to online reports.
Have you updated to these versions and seen a dip In your battery life like many others have?
And If so, have you seen any difference in performance after updating your device with Google's latest security patch update 'N950USQS2BQK3' which has started to roll out to Sprint customers today (12/04/17)?
Will this fix the issue of battery drain Sprint users have been experiencing in the past several weeks in your opinion?
Thanks.
Do I want this update or should I keep it blocked and permanently block future updates? In my past experiences they make my phones slower and eventually unusable. Thanks
I haven't updated in about 6 months, battery life is still amazing. I really can't see these updates helping anything.. I don't need a new version of android and I'm pretty happy with the camera. Would be interesting to see how much it affects performance and battery "new update"

I update regularly, on the whole i find it is for better.
I'm on threw newest firmware and I have no issues since I've been updating past the first Pie release.

I mainly upgrade because I can get the latest security patches. Besides I also have a pixel 3A that gets better update frequency than my note 9. plus I like having an unlockable bootloader to reverse updates if they get screwed up.

I haven't updated, since the December 1, 2018 security patch for Oreo 8.1.
Battery is outstanding, especially over my S9 with Pie.
I think phones work best on their original operating system.
Security patches? Meh. They probably cover old threats anyways.

Fam, there's been 5 major threats found this year alone. And they were exploited on a small scale this year.
There's no such thing as original operating system by the way. Not even slightly when it comes to Android. If you want a "original" Feeling, probably Pixel devices would be the best bet. It better yet, if it must be Note 9, strip all none essential items from a rom with hopes that there's no hyperlinking.
This part is not to ragg on older software, but when updates are made in good faith, it is to improve on previous versions of said software.??
Most of the time... Placebo ??

By "original OS", I meant the version that originally came on the phone, when it was released / purchased.
Apologies, for not being more clear.

I know what you meant, and it's a great thought to have as a consumer, but unfortunately it's just a placebo. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it has happened where the software a device shipped with was the best for it to be on for a long time. For me that was probably the Nexus 6P. But that phone was doomed from the get go.
I don't know. I'm glad you guys are happy with the software you're on, but I urge all of you to just update to get rid of those nasty vulnerabilities that your OS versions have. I don't think it's worth the trade off.
Performance isn't bad at all on Pie, but that's where phone use is relative for each person. Butchieboy get crazy SOT, I barely crack 4 hours on a lite day of use. Most likely due to my crappy coverage area and what I'm actually using my phone for throughout the day.

Oh OK, it didn't seem like it.
You were going off.
I appreciation your passion and warnings!
I think I understand the risks of what I'm doing.
I do have an S9 on Pie that I'm checking out and hope to get it on the Android 10 Beta to test drive. 10 seems to be more to my liking with a true dark mode.
If so, I may just let our Note 9s update to Android 10 Quindim
There has been a history of companies, namely apple, of slowing down devices as they age in an effort to 'save battery' or some junk. I think its to force you to upgrade your phone. The battery is the easiest way for them to age phones out to make sure we keep buying new ones. This can be pushed faster through software updates, beside the natural degradation of the battery over time.

I'm geteing 7 to 8 hours of SOT on my Note 9 on Oreo. I'm used to using a phone with an outdated security patch. I bought an S5 back in 2016 which came with Mashmallow and who's last update was all the way back to January 2018. The security patch is still 8/1/17. IWas forced to ditch it when 2 attempts by Sasmung to cure the screen flickering didn't help. Heck I install APK's on it and no viruses.
If you are using any online banking apps then I would advise that you install any updates onto your device for safety. As they will plug up any security flaws in the OS.
In my opinion it is extremely important to keep your devices up to date with the latest security patches. Now days most of our digital lives are stored on our phones. You wouldn't leave your front door wide open. Don't do the same with your phone.
I always keep my phone up to date so that all the security issues can be fixed and sometimes I get updates for the camera too.
Motorola Edge is not on the official Android 12 update list. Take a look - https://www.motorola.com/blog/post?id=387.
700$ phone with only one OS update.
Motorola is a **** and ass and a pile of stones

Well, it came to the Edge Plus. I have 4 of them and it updated to 12 and it totally sucks. The notification and status bars don't go all the way across the screen, leaving a gap on both sides.
I managed to fend off the update to 1 of them, but it snuck in and downloaded it under the radar, despite me having system updates shut off. I don't know why everyone is so fanatical about upgrades. More frequently for me, it's just a big headache and makes things worse.
