There are two tips which are generally present each time a device like the mobile poses problems and which do not have much mystery. The first is universal and consists in extinguishing and lighting and the second is also an old acquaintance: Delete cache. And although for Android Auto what we use is the screen of the vehicle, it is always an adaptation to the car of what we have on the mobile.
Personally, Android Auto is my favorite infotainment system, but there is something that still has to improve: stability, because sometimes fails for no apparent reason. Thus, each time I feel a problem, beyond the connection and disconnection of the mobile or the taking of other more drastic measures, My tip is to erase the Android Auto cache.
How to delete the automatic Android cache
While we are moving in the introductionThe heart of Android Auto is on our phone and in fact it is an application, so to delete the cache, we will have to go directly to the mobile and search for the application.
For them, we go to the 'section of'Parameters'>'Applications“And we scroll until we find it. Once Android Auto is located, we enter and look for 'Storage'.
Once inside, we simply approach the erasure cache and when the process is executed, we connect the mobile to the car to check if the problem has been solved.
Deleting the cover from time to time is a good idea: these are the reasons
Do you have files in the cache? No, in fact, rather the opposite: the public services of the cache are beyond doubt, as long as it keeps the temporary files necessary to improve the application of the application and the user experience, because among other things, The processes are transported before.
The files are released and stored in the cache and are put on mission to speed up the load and execution of functions and applications. Its importance is such that it is used to record the data and the battery, to relieve the use of the processor and generalized, The cache makes the system more fluid.
But sometimes there are too many files accumulated in the cache and paradoxically, they can slow down the system. Although the normally erasure cover is generally made to release the space (eye because if you have never erased the applications cache that you often use as WhatsApp, you may find a generous cache more A giga), this will generally not be the case with Android Auto. With Google's infotainment system, it is used to resolve specific errors, such as an application does not load, unexpected or even update of closures. In short, When Android Auto does not work properly.
The deletion of the cache does not imply losing applications, configurations or personal information that you have already introduced. Simply, when you open Android Auto and use it normally, the relevant files will be downloaded in the cache again, which can involve that at the beginning, everything becomes a little slower than usual.
