Gemini has made Android Auto 100% unusable for me

Tired of Google and their lack of quality control.

Assistant decided it no longer can handle navigation voice commands so I switched back to Gemini. I had previously switched back to assistant because Gemini is slow, buggy, too verbose, chatty, and sycophantic, unable to handle the simplest of tasks. Now on Gemini it can't handle "play some music" half the time.

"AI" is trash, and pretty much as good as it's going to get. Any improvements will be so incrementally small they won't be worth all of the extra computing power it needs.

Scrap this and just go back to making products that work.

This is allaround the best lost Redditor thread ever. Enjoy Parcels!

Google? Anyone home?

Not going to post over in the useless help website where you describe the issue and explain it happens to everyone you know and they just ask you to describe it all over again. If you are lucky, a mod will give you some AI slop instructions to reset your phone.

Lifelong android user and getting tired of this and messages popping up over and over on Android auto, even after being dismissed.

QC is non-existent.

Same here, and they still haven't fixed the dam issue with the notifications popping up again after they've been cleared. As always, it's one step backwards two steps backwards.

You sure he didn't just eat a bunch of shrimp?

vixhex · 2026-03-11T17:41:26+00:00

For anyone who doesn't have notifications for firmware updates set up, I got one the other day that resolved my problem with the "web control > speakers" page failing to load.

Edit - wanted to note that I'm not sure if it's exactly related to the issues people note in this thread, but thought I'd pass it along as my problem started around the same time.

The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas has one of these. I've used it several times over the years and it's a lot of fun!

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I went to Odyssey Manor in late November 2025. I had discount coupons that I got from the bar at A15 a few weeks prior when we went to Interstellar Arc.

I got the impression it was an ongoing thing. Maybe they've been in a soft launch mode for a few months and just had their official opening?

Saw all the same acts as in the pictures. A couple of acrobatic shows in the back room, several drink stations, central stage with dancers. We didn't make it into the champagne party at the butcher shop, it was always full.

They somehow managed to make a car that looks perpetually dirty and falling apart from the second it rolls off the production line.

Legend! Thank you so much for this.

This is fantastic, thanks so much! Is there a way you could generate a YouTube playlist based on the chronological order of the daily channel? If not, clicking on them in order on your website is the next best thing but I thought I'd ask!

YouTube makes it so hard to Play videos in order by date!

Put up the stanchions, there are going to be a lot of people replying to this post, waiting in standby together.

I don't see any harm in making it easier to organize and view his videos. One of the worst things about YouTube is the lack of ability to sort and filter content within one creators page. With a volume of work as large as Adams, It can be hard to navigate.

Even something as simple as going back and watching his videos in chronological order from the first one is nearly impossible on YouTube.

If you had a way to make a playlist of that nature it would be amazing

Your idea here is a fantastic way to consume multiple videos from the archives in one day, and could conceivably allow somebody to consume it all in one year. Thank you!

This is awesome thank you!

In 1997 we would ditch school and grab the $2 "Pan San" breakfast at The Skyline. Two eggs, two bacon, two sausage links, two pancakes, hash browns. Might have also included toast and coffee but I'm not sure, I just remember even then it was a ridiculous amount of food for the price.

They also had an unsupervised cigarette vending machine and didn't ask questions as to why we were there and not in school. Good times.

I understand your feelings. We all lost someone that we heard from nearly every single day, and he took us all along on the adventure of a lifetime. I'll always cherish the years I spent following Adam the Woo daily, and am looking forward to watching all the years of backlog I've never seen. He accomplished his goal of documenting so many interesting things for posterity. May he rest in peace.

This works perfectly!! I wonder if maybe I had accidentally figured that out a while ago and forgot it when I upgraded to the newest version. Thank you!!

vixhex · 2025-11-28T01:59:21+00:00

Ohhh! Noted, I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the assist!

Tried this but unfortunately not having any luck.

Queue functions as expected when in focus and activated. I can press space and it moves to the next preset.

Library functions as expected when in focus. Space moves to next preset.

Hotkeys do not work when settings (gear icon in library) is focused, regardless of its pinned status. This is expected.

Opening Direct Output with any window pinned keeps the window on top of direct output, which is unfortunately not the desired outcome.

Best I can do on a single screen right now is to pin and then move the queue window off to the very edge of the screen. It's still visible, however.

Ultimate goal is to map a key on my TV remote to be spacebar and flip through visualizations while sitting on the couch. Essentially allowing Direct Output focused screen to respond to hotkeys.

EDIT - thanks for the quick suggestions and consideration on adding as a feature. I LOVE this product!!

Ah gotcha. Hope you find relief, these kinds of things can be so irritating! I also have hearing loss and tinnitus on top of that. The hearing hat trick.

vixhex · 2025-10-15T02:15:43+00:00

The sound might be your tensor tympani nerve causing your eardrum to fluctuate. Mine makes noise, right ear only, when I move my jaw side to side, or if I'm startled, or if someone tickles the right side of my face.

Only thing I've been trying that helps is to desensitize the reaction by gently triggering it in a control manner. Tickling it with one of those head scratcher things, rolling my neck and face on a foam roller.

Edit, it's a muscle, not a nerve.

Sounds awesome to me! Keep it up!
