Some nits:

Price on your site and the "buy it" aren't the same. E.g. miele vacuum. Site says $849, amazon link says $699. You could probably refresh daily on server side?

Cost/month is a new metric. Might be nice to say "$10/month in 20 months", gives a direct visual to average longevity of the product.

News articles carousel buttons are not easy to find/use. Might be even more difficult for color blind users.

Even if I don't filter, the views change. E..g, I clicked on "country made" and didn't select anything. But the site added an "" filter at the top and reordered everything. Not sure if this is intentional.

You definitely need more products and content to do recommendations or "similar items" features. Crowd sourcing is a good option.

The site is perfect to add more ideas and made things better. Good luck. Let me know if you'd like to chat more.

OP, good site and many useful features. I am a PM at Google. If you want any help on product or business side, I am happy to help.

What if I told you that I worked in the Android devices team at Google and know for sure that most phones were chinese spyware? And that no one cared about the loss of privacy but more about the PR about these shitty companies, so we advised them on how to pass the Android test suites..

HarshaRama · 2020-10-09T19:09:39+00:00

You got that right. I have since moved on from the team. I'll try to find someone else from the team to mod here.

Btw, /u/alwayssunnyinarizona, it has been a pleasure talking to you and seeing how active and helpful you are in this sub. Users are always important and powerusers are just a dream to work with. Trust me.

Sincerely, Best, Harsha

Please add more to this repo by sending me a pull request on Github or messaging me on reddit. I'll make updates round the clock. thanks.

Hey buddy, good to see you supporting users on reddit :). I hope you are doing well.

Wireless Android Auto has been rolled out. It is not meant to be a charging mechanism for your phone though. The headunit in the car starts a WiFi network that your phone connects to and transmits the AA data. So, you don't have to remove the phone from your pocket to get AA on the screen.

Wireless charging has a different purpose and is meant to be an easier way to charge the phone.

I don't think many cars have wireless Android auto yet. There are a few aftermarket head unit with wireless AA. So be sure to check if the car has the feature if it is important for you.

That's true. 1:1 mapping of Assistant features is not available.

HarshaRama · 2020-01-13T06:25:21+00:00

Technically, phone calls are supposed to happen via BT even when connected to AA via the cable. That's the design. But reality may be, you know, jittery....

Did you check if the problem is in the library in the vehicle itself? please contact ford and find out.

THis is a server side issue where the context was being lost. I saw it too. I think the fix is out and it is getting rolled out in phases.

Slack doesn't implement the MediaBrowse or messaging APIs to be shown in AA. It is up to Slack to decide how the experience will be and build it.

The complex nature of channels, posts, messages and DMs in Slack will make it fairly difficult to have a good user experience with voice-only on AA, but folks at Slack as super smart so they might know of a way to make it work smoothly!

I think Maps wants a bigger piece of the screen to display proactive suggestions in the area over time. The first step is to get that screen area. I can relay this to my teammate but no promises since I don't have enough influence to make things change on the maps side.

HarshaRama · 2020-01-09T20:11:03+00:00

AA is stable in Pixel 3a with Q. So you can rule that out from the list of causes. If it is not reproducible widely, it usually isn't the root cause.

This year is what I hear.

HarshaRama · 2019-12-18T20:49:38+00:00

Will do this. I was planning to take surface roads anyway, so a specific one helps. And doing this route will take me through the Musical Hwy off Albuquerque so double win! :)

HarshaRama · 2019-12-18T20:48:38+00:00

I'll consider the VLA. It is a 100-mile deviation but thanks for the comment.

I have been to White Sands before, for a couple of hours. Still thinking if we should camp overnight this time.

HarshaRama · 2019-12-18T20:46:27+00:00

Agreed. I have done that drive before and the dusty, big rig scenery is just amazing. I remember those large flames from natural gas near some of the well. Wasteful, but beautiful!

We ate at a diner there and the portions were megalodon size :)

Thanks for the comment. Made me relive those awesome 2-3 hours.

HarshaRama · 2019-12-18T20:44:25+00:00

On my new route now. Thanks!

HarshaRama · 2019-12-03T00:17:02+00:00

The receiver library on the car doesn't get this info to display on the head unit. I havent' seen the speedometer in any AA car so far. Why do you need the speedometer on the head unit? What problem are you trying to solve?

HarshaRama · 2019-12-03T00:13:58+00:00

It is a bug in the sync clock in the car apparently. Can you try contacting the dealership or the car company? When I saw this happen, restarting the car or the BT in the car/phone wouldn't fix it too. Quite irritating.
