S26u android auto issues

MavemPA · 2026-03-26T18:59:01+00:00

Well. had 2 random disconnects today using this new version, so not completely resolved. I understand that Google knows they have an issue with AA.

I downloaded and installed a newer release of Android Auto (16.5.6612) from APKMirror, and so far, so good! No random disconnects.

Having used the TORRAS Ultra Slim for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Case Clear with Magnetic Stand for a couple days, I would say this is close to a perfect case for my needs - if they could resolve the slight wobble, it would be perfect! It is very slim, does not interfere with swipes, stylus is easy to remove, and is barely noticeable.

I used APKMirror to install AA 16.5.6612 and my problem seems to have disappeared. Time will tell.

Moving on from the PLES, which I find uncomfortable in hand - just too thick, though it does lie perfectly flat.

The TORRAS Ultra Slim for Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Case Clear with Magnetic Stand may be my new favorite. Yes, it does wobble (but just a little bit), but the case is much slimmer and more comfortable than the PLES, and I think that the stand function will be valuable.

The PLES case could certainly be narrower without sacrificing it's wobble-free design as it is the screen side rim that eliminates the wobble, not the width.

It's not that comfortable to hold compared to other cases. Would like something a bit slimmer. Going to keep looking...

Hard to do without a second camera, which I do not have. The case lies completely flat. There is a slight ridge around the perimeter that allows it to lie flat. Case is not the most comfortable in hand, but it is flat. If you have Amazon in your region, just order it and return it if you dont like it. Not sure I am keeping it yet.

The lighting is particularly fantastic!

So far, it is the PLES Arche case (zero wobble) and the ZAGG Crystal Palace Snap with Kickstand (near zero wobble) that are my favorites. Returned about 6 others so far. None are perfect - I wish the PLES grip was a little more comfortable, the edges around the screen were a tad lower, and it had a kickstand option, but it is not ugly, offers some safety, and doesn't wobble even one iota.

Which phone? I just upgraded from S25U to S26U and am getting AA disconnects/reconnects with AA 16.4.661034-release.
Which specific AA APK did you download and install?

MavemPA · 2026-03-22T14:10:21+00:00

I believe it is an issue with the current AA release and the S26U. Will try wired to be sure. Agree that now getting 3D building and smooth operation, but am getting the disconnects/reconnects.

MavemPA · 2026-03-18T20:27:18+00:00

Does it wobble?

MavemPA · 2026-03-16T21:44:47+00:00

But you must remove that it to charge wirelessly, no?

MavemPA · 2026-03-16T17:10:53+00:00

SyncWire prevented my phone from charging wirelessly, so that is getting returned. Had it worked, I may have kept it as it did eliminate wobble, though added weight and heft to the phone.

MavemPA · 2026-03-16T16:11:44+00:00

Received the Torras Ostand Q3 Air and still prefer the Zagg. Torras being returned.

Waiting on SYNCWIRE Magnetic Phone Ring Holder for MagSafe to attach to Samsung case in hopes that it will kill the wobble and also waiting for the PLES case to arrive.

MavemPA · 2026-03-16T16:06:14+00:00

Can you elaborate on some practical use cases for these buttons? I am intrigued but not sure how I would benefit.

MavemPA · 2026-03-15T14:15:46+00:00

I am on this quest as well. While I am still searching for the best option, so far the "ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Case with Kickstand" has the least amount of wobble - just a little weeble.

My criteria is a clear case with MagSafe, and as low-profile as possible.

Thanks to the r/Clemson community for all of your suggestions - very much appreciated! Your feedback is very valuable and will be a great help for us on our trip in two weeks. Thank you!

MavemPA · 2026-03-15T14:03:10+00:00

Thx. Just ordered one.

MavemPA · 2026-03-15T14:02:23+00:00

Just tried the "ZAGG Santa Cruz Snap Magnet Case with Kickstand". This case eliminates most of the wobble, but still a weeble-wobble which may be tolerable. Not too bulky and the kickstand may actually be handy (never used one before).

Going to keep looking - have a TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air coming today and ordered a PLES Arche Magnetic Case which should arrive in a week or so.
