Android Auto Navigation Glitches

[Stevendom1987]

Does anyone else like to use Waze/Google Maps on Android Auto and have issues with all of the buttons on the display working properly?

When I'm in either map feature, but even more so on Waze, the buttons towards the bottom right corner won't work aka aren't responsive to my touch. I also notice you have to press "above" the actual selection you want when making changes on the app.

I am 99.9% sure I don't have a defective unit because everything else works perfectly in that area in the screen, regardless if it's a different app within Android Auto or the native menu screen.

Below is the waze button/icon selection that doesn't work. If anyone can try pressing the button/icon in their waze I would love to know if it's just me.

As far as I can tell all the buttons on my screen work with AA, waze included.

Thanks, even that bottom right button I circles in the attached photo?

If it's not a touch screen dead spot as you claim, I would try to (1) clear cache for Waze but ideally (2) uninstall/reinstall Waze completely for a fresh build.

Thanks man. I did some more research and it's actually my specific cell phone model. Apparently the latest Samsung cell released, the Note 9, has a resolution issue. Once I set the phone to 1080p and not 4K the issue fixes itself.

It's unfortunate, but it's a Samsung issue (what's new right?) and not a Genesis issue.

Since I dont like large phones I bought a Samsung A3 online - been perfectly happy with it and it runs AA fine plus JBV1 for my V1, media monkey for my music at the same time.

I honestly had a ton of issues with my Galaxy S8+ on AA with my GTI, just transitioned off to a Huawei P20 Pro and man it boots AA way faster and thus far has been super stable. With the Galaxy I would have to reboot the head unit or phone all the time as Spotify would just stop outputting audio, it was annoying as heck. Sadly in the AA side of things the separate Android branches make for inconsistent experiences from phone to phone which really sucks.
