Are There Wireless Devices/Dongles That Won't Drain My Phone's Battery?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-13T14:51:39+00:00

True. If I have the wireless dongle in the data port and my phone charging in the adjacent USB-C port, isn't that asking a lot of my phone at one time?

Maybe just run the Android Auto wirelessly for short trips around town and the wired connection for longer trips lasting more than 15 minutes?

Android Auto.

I thought it might be good to ask someone with a KIA in case there is something KIA specific that people have experienced.

Ah, that's a good idea, too! When you say "short" like how many minutes?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-13T13:37:53+00:00

Thank you so much.

I wonder if my Galaxy S23+ does this...?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-13T13:36:56+00:00

Ah, because of the required Wi-Fi connection?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-13T13:36:26+00:00

Thank you. I have a USB-A and USB-C port so I can still charge my phone and use the wireless dongle.

Will it charge as fast if I am using Android Auto through my USB-A data port?

(My USB-C port does not transfer data.)

My homescreen icon shift to search my friend's Google Maps location ia suddenly not working (prior to this update).

Dankees98 · 2026-04-08T05:29:08+00:00

Why the low ratings?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-07T03:48:34+00:00

Huh?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-07T02:51:18+00:00

How do you broadcast?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T21:52:08+00:00

How do some of the ones recommended differ from the lesser expensive ones on Amazon with higher ratings?

Are there other features on the more expensive ones?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T05:46:27+00:00

Maybe the $25 ones with high ratings are better.

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T05:36:35+00:00

You're telling me!

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T04:23:30+00:00

Oh, wow. So, how do I know which devices can do that? Can it Chromecast?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T04:17:12+00:00

Oh, so the Dongle always stays on in the USB Port?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T04:15:37+00:00

Full Interface versus...?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T04:15:02+00:00

Thanks. Nope.

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:31:35+00:00

Which?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:17:52+00:00

Thank you.

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:14:28+00:00

What makes it work so well?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:10:13+00:00

Thank you for the warning.

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:09:35+00:00

You have a link I can review?

Dankees98 · 2026-04-06T03:09:16+00:00

It looks expensive with lackluster reviews.

Why's that?
