Wireless Android Auto causing hot phone? Anyone else?
Hi everyone. I am a 2021 Etron owner and wireless Android Auto user. I am noticing that my Motorola Edge+ 2023 gets warm using wireless android auto. I have another car with a Kenwood headunit (that also supports wireless android auto) and I don't believe it heats my phone up at all. Im curious why the etron loads up my device more than the other headunit does. I'm thinking to try to re-pair the device. Maybe try and use 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz to see if it makes any difference.
I have seen posts where users complain about the wireless charging + wireless android auto results in the phone getting even warmer which adds up due to the inefficiency of wireless charging. I'm just looking for tips or others experience or with different (newer phones newer SOC). Ideally, id like to continue to use the wireless Android Auto feature and not have to fumble with a cable each time i get in and out of the car.
