I've got a Pixel 8 phone. Works just great most of the time, but every once and a while when I make a call, the person can't hear me. the phone rings and connects, but we can't hear each other. Only fix so far is that I have to restart the phone and then everything is ok again.

Pixel 8 with Android 14.

Anyone else had this issue?

Are you using Android Auto or the built-in BMW iDrive? I can't speak for everyone else, but I abandoned using Android Auto in every vehicle I use.

No longer having my phone feel like a lump of hot plutonium for no reason, drain my battery, and deal with the daily quirks of Android Auto is a happy sacrifice I make to just make do with the built in bluetooth connection, BMW navigation, etc.

Had the same problem with Pixel 9. After I verified my Bluetooth setting were correct, I rebooted the idrive (I believe I also un- and re-paired my phone).That was weeks ago...been making and receiving calls without any issues since.

If it helps, I've got my phone working through Android Auto vice the car's Bluetooth. I can hear phone calls, stream YT, music saved on my phone, etc.

Sometimes but this does not seem to be the cause. I get this problem even when I have not been using it.

Yup, happens to me every couple months, no idea why. Only thing that works is restarting the phone. I have a Pixel 8 Pro. The same thing would happen in my Tesla, so it isn't the car. Also happened with my previous Pixel.
