Android Auto bug is preventing calls from closed foldable phones
You'll have to keep your phone open if you want to make a call.
Motorola and Google are investigating a bug with Android Auto that is preventing users from making outgoing calls while their foldable phones are closed. The issue has been reported by owners of both Motorola and Samsung's clamshell foldable devices, such as the Motorola Razr series. These foldables are popular due to their ability to be used in a compact form, allowing users to run apps, check notifications, and take selfies.
However, this convenience is currently compromised when it comes to making calls while connected to Android Auto. When the phone is in its closed state, outgoing calls do not function, although incoming calls remain unaffected by the device's form. Motorola and Google are currently looking into the problem to find a solution.
