I’ve turned my location services to ‘Device Only’ mode, and it’s made a noticeable difference. It’s worth a shot if you haven’t tried it yet!

I’ve been having serious battery drain issues since I started using Android Auto. My phone drops 30% in an hour! Anyone else dealing with this?

23

Same here! I average about 20-25% loss during long drives. It’s so frustrating, especially with navigating and music playing.

Honestly, I’ve noticed that if I turn off mobile data while using Android Auto, it helps a bit. It’s still draining, but at least not as fast.

Great tip! I might try that. I also keep my brightness low; it does save some juice.

I think Android Auto just uses a lot of power in general. My battery gets drained even when I’m not driving! Has anyone tried a battery bank for this?

27

Right? I’ve noticed that too! I upgraded to a higher capacity battery and it helps a little, but it’s still annoying.

I usually close unnecessary apps before I start driving. It seems to make the experience smoother and helps with battery drain issues.

Good idea! Multitasking is great, but it also means more battery usage. I’ll definitely give that a shot.

I’ve been using my car’s USB ports to charge, but it doesn’t seem to help at all. Anyone else face the same issue?

Sounds counterintuitive! Those ports should be enough to charge, but I’ve had days when it feels like it’s draining faster while charging.
