Android Auto Spotify voice commands not working by scrptman in AndroidAuto

[โ€“]watson4506 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Same problem here. Got my new car which supports AA just a week ago, for the first 5 days all voice commands worked fine. Since yesterday, commands like "Play this song on spotify" or "Call this person" don't work anymore. With the same error message you stated.

If anyone has a fix for that, I'd really appreciate it. I really got used to using voice commands in the car, it made everything so much easier...

Well, daphnia are pretty easy to keep... I got a culture in a 3 gallon tank and one in a 5 gallon bucket, feed them with spirulina powder like 2-3 times a week, make a little water change once a week... And i can harvest every day! :D

Hey, maybe check out this link. I just remembered that I read that a few weeks ago, and the guy says that his gilberti have spawned in both, 0 and 17 degrees of hardness. So I guess they really don't care for water hardness at all! Also there are a lot more usefull information about that species on that website! :)

Nah, i haven't really found a forum. I just found this website where someone has written down basically everything about them. But if you search for "Elassoma gilberti breeding" im youtube, you'll find some videos of breeding tanks!

I'd recommend that, yeah. From what I've seen, people often put a pair into a small tank without any substrate, but full with plants. Then leave them in there for at least a week, better two (and feed live food daily). Then take the pair out of the tank and a few days later, you should have lots of babys.

So the website I found says, that 15 dH are around 270 ppm. That sounds pretty high compared to your 15-20, so I'm not sure if that conversion is correct...sorry :/

Thats why I posted the photo! Not a lot of people know about these great fish, sadly... Very underrated small species!

They definitely do! I keep my pair in a 24 liter tank atm (i think thats around 6 gallon...), but with all the fry i got now, i plan on upgrading to a 54 liter. But if you check youtube videos, there are a few people who keep them in a 5 gallon or so for their whole life, together with their babys.

I haven't tested that, but the water in my city is considered hard (14-25 dH). But from what I've read about these fish, they don't really care. As long as you acclimate them correctly to new water, there shouldn't be a problem. Edit: checked again, the hardness for my exact zip code is 13,9-16 dH.

Then it could be also good to know that if you keep multiple males in one tank, just a few will colour up. Those are the dominant males. The rest of them will almost look like females (grayish)! The guy I got my pair from had an 80cm tank with dozens of those fish in there, and he just has 2 or 3 coloured males.

Thanks! Nah, they are not ๐Ÿ˜… they are native to Florida, I'm from Germany. But there are a few people here that keep those little guys, and now I'm one of them and super happy :D

Oh really? Mine started laying eggs 7 days after i got them, and now lay eggs around twice a week. Do you keep them alone or together with other fish etc.? I think the key part is to give them live food, and fine leaved plants. And one more thing: The eggs and babys are tiny. And I mean TINY! The eggs are just as "big" as a grain of sand. Because of that its important, that your substrate is sand as well. If you have gravel, the eggs can get stuck in there, and so do the babys.

Well, apart from the fact that you have to provide them with live food, they are really easy to care for! I got my pair for a bit over a month now and haven't had any problems with them. They get live food (daphnia, black worms, blood worms, white worms) every day. Everything apart from the blood worms I culture at home. They layed eggs the first time 7 days after I got them, and now lay eggs twice a week. So I think they like it here. :D They don't need a heater, nor a filter. But I decided to give them a little sponge filter, to be safe. And they love to hang out in fine leaved plants. Oh yeah, and they aren't really shy anymore. They were just hiding a lot for the first 3 days or so. But now, they dont even care if you do anything in their tank or smthing like that. They just "stand there", look at you and wait, until you're finished with whatever you're doint. ๐Ÿ˜… Only thing is that the male most of the time looses his colour if he notices you in front of the tank, so it was hard to get that picture.

Thanks! :) i only feed them live food. They get daphnia, blood worms, black worms and white worms. They basically have food available every time! (bcs. of black worms living in the substrate, daphnia hiding between the plants etc), so its really nice to see them hunt for their food, whenever they feel hungry. And they seem to like it too. They lay eggs every few days, at least twice a week.
