Standby Mode works just fine on indoor charger; fails to work in Car. WTF?

[zebonaut]

Standby Mode works just fine on my indoor magsafe charger mount; fails to work in my Toyota Corolla; using a standard lightning cable plugged into a cigarette lighter charger or the car's USB charger. Tilt the phone sideways; nothing happens. Tried in and out of drive mode. What gives? Just ordered a car magsafe charger.

Is standby mode supported to activate when the phone’s gyroscope and accelerometer detect movement?

as far as I know the only requirement is an electrical charge and putting the phone in landscape mode. It should work in a car; moving or not. I've seen a video of it in a car. https://www.tiktok.com/@mtgproductions/video/7241579551434853674

Just a thought; could it be detecting a connection to the car’s Bluetooth or CarPlay (if your car is equipped)? Perhaps it’s disabled if it is connected to the car in any format…

Thought of that; and disconnected from car bluetooth; still no luck. Very stumped. Will try again.

Got a Lisen magnetic mount for the car; STILL won't work. But works fine indoors. Still Stumped.

I’ve had the same issue, got it working once in beta 1, was trying it last night and no matter what I did it would not work, almost as if it knows you’re in a car.

Nevermind, got it to work once I disconnected from Bluetooth, curious how notifications work on standby mode.

I disconnected from my car; still no luck. Should I try turning OFF bluetooth?

I’ve just tested this and only works for me with a wireless charger.

I was able to have it work in my car on a Belkin MagSafe car charging mount and all I had to do was turn off wifi and Bluetooth, like actually off, not just disconnected.

CarPlay wireless seems to prevent it.

I think it’s normal behavior. StandBy is designed as a night time, no distractions feature which probably takes motion data into account. It shouldn’t be working in a moving car.

But it would be so useful for my car. I was hoping to use it as a mini CarPlay since I don’t have CarPlay.

YES! That did the trick. First turn OFF both WIFI and Bluetooth; go into Standby Mode; then turn them back on through Control Center. Thanks! (I'm in a Toyota Corolla 2013) Now you effectively have a poor man's "Carplay". (update: so now I've created an automation to run in shortcuts; "when phone is connected to car multimedia") will test soon.
