Hello All,

Has anyone faced issues in android auto connections on galaxy s24 ultra. Am using android auto via USB on my car but when using it for a longer period of time, it gets disconnected automatically and then connects back automatically within few seconds.
Wanted to know if this issue is common across all users or is it just for me .

It has nothing to do with your phone. Android auto and your car's USB connection is something to be blamed.

It's not about cable it's about car USB port and also Android auto itself is not so stable. Check with another phone to see if it's your phone's problem
