In android auto since updating to 8.5 it does not show the phones signal or battery icon in bottom left. Also android auto will not auto change to phones music being played through car will just keep playing DAB and have tested on multiple cars to make sure it was the phone. But these issues only started happening after the beta update.

      For me its just the signal icon. But having a look on some forums in an issue with Android Auto in general. Apparently due to them changing some of the icons its caused this glitch. I thought it was the beta until I looked it up

      I am not able to see any 8.5 update yet on my s25 ultra, it still shows software is updated with latest i.e. 8.0. Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem?

      Hello @FlavellPlayz,

      Thanks for reporting! Here are some solutions that can be helpful:

      1. Clear Android Auto cache and data.

      2. Check if the latest versions of Android Auto and Google Play Services apps are installed.

      3. Disable (if enabled) battery optimization for Android Auto app.

      4. Check if the latest version of vehicle firmware is installed.

      5. Reinstall Android Auto - If the above steps do not resolve the issue, completely delete the Android Auto app and reinstall it

      If the issue persists after trying all of the above methods, please report the problem through the Feedback menu in the Samsung Members app. When leaving feedback, please be sure to attach log files so that we can analyze the cause more accurately and make improvements. 

      Feedback including logs is a great help to the development team in identifying the cause and working on a quick patch. 

      We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you! 

      Have a good day! ☀️
