Had the wife's Corolla upgraded a while ago with Android Auto/Apple Carplay. She only drives it around town, so never really had a use for it. Today, I was trying to tell her about how to use it and worked out that I know zero about how it works as well. We were going somewhere and I wanted to use Waze for navigation. And that was the end of that.
The issue is that Waze didn't work. It loaded up and just showed a black map background (no map or roads). If I selected a destination, it would just go to "calculating route" and do nothing. This is where I found the problem. I cannot find a way to force close the app. I rebooted my phone and stopped the car and rebooted the car. When I plug the phone back in, Waze comes up and is exactly where it left off (and not in a good way). It just goes back to the black background and "calculating route".
I thought, while the phone is running, I'll just open the apps and force close them. Nope. Waze not showing and even in the app settings, it is not giving me the option to "force close" because it doesn't think the app is even open… If I unplug and replug the phone, the app just reboots in Android auto where it was when it was unplugged.
So, is there any other way, other than deleting the app off my phone, that I can force close an app from within Android Auto to get it to reload on the display? I've been searching for an hour and can only find information on how to quit the Android Auto app on the phone, not the app on the cars display… (I cant quit the Android Auto app anyway, I'm on Android 10, and AA is baked into the operating system…)
when you don't know how to use something, don't search google, post a forum on ozbargain
