Ok/Hey google not working (again) on android auto
If I manually press the microphone button on the car, it starts listening, but it won't do some of the usual stuff, for example something I noticed is that it won't answer whatsapp messages: it lets me say who I want to message and what I want to write, but when it asks if I want to send the message or not, it replies (using the female synth voice) saying that the internet connection is not reliable at the moment (of course internet works just fine from the phone). Another thing it won't do is play next/previous track. It will navigate though, but as I said, only if I press the mic button manually.
Of course, I already tried more than once and retrained the assistent to my voice, disabled and re-enabled the feature, rebooted the phone, updated everything, erasing cache of google and AA apps.
Another thing (I don't know if it is related): I don't have calendar, weather, news and other google apps (I don't remember now all of them, but I'm sure you get the point) on my car. If I erase the AA app cache, they appear in the "Personalize my apps" menu of the AA app and I can select them, but as soon as I connect the phone to the car they don't appear anymore neither in said menu nor on the car screen. I don't care much, but I don't know if this issue could be related.
I want to specify once again that, as soon as I started using my AA interface, the Assistent used to work just fine, the problem appeared for the first time a couple of days ago, so it's not the interface not working, although it's an aftermarket solution.
Please help me find a solution
Thanks in advance for your time
