Not sure if that was directed at me or the OP. Definitely not the factory wireless charger frying my phone. Although I did notice when I disabled high speed wireless charging my phone doesn't get anywhere near as hot as it does with high speed charging. But the GPS issues also happens even when it's not charging via wireless. I think it just happens when it needs calibration and can't get a decent enough lock on GPS while it's got all of that stuff in the dash in the way. Usually after a calibration I don't have that issue.
How do you do such a thing?
Android. It's actually not GPS calibration, it's compass calibration. Apologies for not being clear about that. Usually when your compass is out of whack if you go into maps or something of the sort it should ask if you want to calibrate. There's another way to force it but I can't recall what it is. Oddly enough it can also help with getting a better GPS lock it seems. Most of my old phones wanted you to turn the phone so it's in landscape orientation and vertically, then sorta make a figure 8 motion with it. My S22 though wants to use the camera to use your surroundings to calibrate the compass.
Compass calibration has nothing to do with GPS reception.
Wait... So you drive around in circles resembling the infinity symbol - ∞ ?^^^ Recalibrating the car's compass is detailed in the manual. I haven't done it (just live with my compass being off when I go several states away, until I get back home). It is the silliest sounding thing: you do circles in some arrangement that I don't recall now: it reads like instructions from The Ministry of Silly Walks.
Are you 100% positive about that? I've read it could use the GPS from the car OR from the phone, though it's supposed to prefer the cars GPS. I do find it very strange that the second I pull the phone out of the phone storage area that I have no issues with GPS. What's stranger, I only notice this with Waze. If I switch to Google Maps I don't experience the issue. Could it be possible that Waze uses the phones GPS and Google Maps is smart enough to use the cars? I'll have to check the phone next time to see if the phone is reporting that it's using its GPS instead of the car.
I don't think he realized we were talking about the compass on the phone, not the car. Or he chose to just talk about the cars compass. Who knows.
I am 100% sure your phones compass is not used by android auto.
I was even reading the thread as it unfolds: and must have dozed off, 'cause I thought that the car's compass was mentioned: and now when I read back over the conversation I don't see a thing that would make me think that, now. Now you know.
I just checked. While running AA and Waze, my phone's GPS/location icon pops up at the top and when I check location services on my phone it shows me Waze is currently using it. So I'm guessing it is using my phones GPS and not the cars.
Just tried it and it says it's not yet available. Guess the actual download isn't ready yet, even though they claim in the list of vehicles that the most recent update is available for includes the 2023.
The direction the phone is pointing does not affect the navigation in the car through AA.
