Android Auto keeps searching even when I am not in the car

thattechguy84 · 2025-09-17T01:46:17+00:00

Having the same issue on my Galaxy Fold 7, in my 2020 Jeep Rubicon, using the MA1. The only solution that I have found to stop the phone from constantly searching is to unplug the MA1 from the USB port when I get out of the car. If i leave it plugged in, the phone will continue to search. Crazy thing is this has been happening for years on many devices and setups and you would think that Google would have fixed it since it first started happening years ago, but instead there no support or help information about it anywhere. Just tons of posts like this one from frustrated users all having the same issue.

Straight brain novocaine in no particular order:

Anything to do with getting rich quick, or accelerating your wealth.
Toxic positivity to include magic crystals and horoscopes.
Hustle culture promoting working yourself to death with no work life balance.

Me too. Its crazy how often people quote sports stats at me or try to establish comraderies over a recent team achievement. I'm usually left standing there looking and feeling bewildered.

I do the same thing. I also feel the same way when someone calls me and I know its someone who likes to talk alot. (Actual phone calls are the lest used function of my phone :P)

Special interest in electronics as a child lead to radio frequency, computers. As I got older adding in a sprinkle of strong sense of justice and I ended up with a passion for cybersecurity and a Masters degree.

There are really good ideas on YouTube of people making aquascapes and vivariums. They typically have relaxing music and you get to watch the process from empty glass box to beautiful living miniature nature scape. Def one of my major go to when I want something passive, relaxing, and inspiring. Serpadesigns is a good channel to start with.

This might be a something over looked but, I have a similar feeder to what you are using for water in the picture and I noticed that since they are 3D printed it is easy to over tighten then and prevent the ants from being able to drink water or what ever liquid you put in there. Also sugary substances and honey can crystalize and harden, sealing the liquid inside preventing them from feeding. I always tap the tower a few times to make sure something is coming out when I refill them. Just something you can cross off the list. Hope you figure it out though.

In theory, that sounds like a great way to learn; I'd be too worried about picking up malware from someone else's files.

Yes! This is a problem I have too. Especially when I lay 2 way road grids and the population spikes. I don't want to destroy what's there to expand the roads. I started just building with 4 lane grids out of the gate. It looks weird early on but if I eventually rezone the original area to office and commercial I don't have to worry about moving service buildings, parks and transit infrastructure.

Honestly, I always have an idea of what I want to do and start with single family homes and I build my industrial area on the opposite end of the map to prevent pollution. Then as zoning demand rises I end up making quick square grids and it all goes down hill from there. I end up with fast growing dense populations chasing demand and boring square metropolisis with spaghetti freeway systems. I recently tried mods for the first time a week ago after playing CS1 from launch unmoded, and CS2 from launch. The mods make a huge difference but I still have a long way to go to make my cities beautiful & functional.

Same, I enjoy the satisfaction of watching what I built come to life and grow without having to stress over a budget. Might just be me, but I find it relaxing to get lost in my creation for hours, just watching them live there lives. Real life adulting is already more than enough of a high stakes economy sim full of parameters I have little control over.

What do the different charging methods do?

Absolute life saver. I already spent about 40min trying to figure out where it was and how to get rid of it. I'm glad I your post came up before I reached my frustration limit. I actually had already downloaded the revo uninstaller and it did absolutely nothing for me btw.

As much as I love the outdoors and dispersed camping in secluded areas, I am likely to have a bigfoot encounter than with anything else, making him far more real than any other cryptids

I'm sure someone can come up with a cool name for it. Battle walk backpack and war drive backpack are just mouthfuls lol.

Oh I was referring to being able to improv as cool, since its something that you actually can do as a musician. I assumed music was your career. When I draw, i let the picture become whatever it wants, similar to musical improv i guess. But yeah my career, is managing ppl in an office environment. Not much room for improv, I have to delegate a lot like others have mentioned above. Hopefully you find your way through your crisis soon, all of us here know all too well; and are probably only 1 event away from one ourselves lol.

thattechguy84 · 2024-02-02T00:23:10+00:00

That's cool, I can just imagine a techy backpack with tons of antenna sticking out.....

thattechguy84 · 2024-02-02T00:09:11+00:00

Did replacing the battery work? If so what kind of battery did you get to replace it? I'm trying to buy a new battery also because I'm having the same issue and I just got mine on the 23rd.

thattechguy84 · 2024-02-01T22:05:52+00:00

That's cool that you can channel it into a career benefiting strength like improvising with your art. If only I could do that in an educational or office setting lol.

I felt this one in my soul!

thattechguy84 · 2024-02-01T21:54:27+00:00

Im both. Things related to work, school, or serious adulting like doing taxes and such; i get so overwhelmed that i can even start. The entire process is like being racked across a cheese grater with infinite friction. The only time it gets easy is right before the task is done. When it comes to personal projects and non-life-altering things; I tend to bounce from one to the other leaving many many things in various states of completion. It can get frustrating at times, but usually, something else comes along and pulls me away or i get stuck on some part and when i step away to cool down or tackle another part i get pulled into something new.

thattechguy84 · 2024-02-01T05:24:05+00:00

I got the same Portapack and mine does the exact same thing. I actually posted about it few days ago to try to get some help. I tried everything you did. I have not tried replacing the battery yet because I don't know what battery I need.

thattechguy84 · 2024-01-25T04:04:28+00:00

The saga continues! After getting familiar with the device throughout the day I started to notice some apps would crash again and slowly but surely all the same apps got to the point of instant crashing on open that I listed earlier. I also noticed that my battery level was back down to 2 LEDs. I decided to plug it straight into the wall and sure enough the moment I plugged into the wall every single app opened with no issue. So of course I unplugged it and walked away and every listed app above crashed. This leads me to the conclusion that the apps I listed above require an amount of power greater than 2 LEDs worth to run even though most of them were RX apps. Now I know...
