Kbra Does the tesla app on Android notify you if your update is ready for install or is that another one of those apple only things? I'm still waiting for my update to become available
Does the car need to be in the always connected mode as well?

Kbra Why's Elon gotta hate on Android.�
Mar 30, 2015
DriverOne Same reason Tesla doesn't do Windows or Blackberry. User base too small to make it worth the expense. While there are many Android phones out there, I doubt that user base intersects with Tesla ownership much.�
Mar 30, 2015
DJung Yup, the new 6.2 feature for the push notification when your car has enough charge at a supercharger (part of the range assurance feature) is also iPhone only as well. I guess Tesla has problems with push notifications on their Android app?�
Mar 30, 2015
ecarfan "Hate" is surely too strong a word for this situation. Tesla doesn't put many resources into the smartphone app on my opinion. It could be much better. I suspect that there are many more Tesla owners with hones than Android phone and that explains the differences between the apps, but I bet that the Android app features will come in time.�
Mar 30, 2015
FlasherZ For what it's worth, at the St. Louis Tesla Enthusiasts' group get-togethers, there are more Android phones than iPhones running the Tesla app.�
Apr 1, 2015
gdavison For Android - I find that hard to believeespecially as ownership has moved more and more out of California into RoW - I can see windows & Blackberry ownership being low as generally they are low everywhere
Android app is for some reason is simple under supported ..�
Apr 1, 2015
ZsoZso I second that motion. Would love to see some global statistics on how many Tesla users use the iPhone app versus the Android app.
Android was outselling iphone for the past 2 years (which corresponds to the time interval of the Model S availability) according to this article:
Apples iPhone Overtakes Android In US Sales For The First Time Since 2012 | TechCrunch
So I am not convinced that the stronger iphone support is fully justiffied, it may have been based on an outdated business decision made back in 2012...�
Apr 1, 2015
eco5280 Are you trolling? Android's user base is much larger than iPhone's, and I think neither has any correlation to Tesla ownership at all.�
Apr 1, 2015
Sigma4Life Yes there are a lot more Android devices sold than iPhone, but the typical Android user doesn't use apps. There is a reason why developers make 4x more profit on iPhone than Android. Many Android users get free 'good enough' phones or get Samsung phones at huge discounts. These users aren't inclined to download and / or buy apps with their device. They generally make phone calls and text. That's ignoring the fact that it's a LOT easier to make a good app on iPhone than Android. Developers prefer the Apple ecosystem because there are fewer devices to support, better tools, etc.�
Apr 1, 2015
eco5280 "Doesn't use apps" isn't correct. "Doesn't pay a lot for lots of apps" is probably more accurate. The devices are less expensive, so iOwners are probably more likely to spend on apps just as they spent more for their devices. Everyone I know who has an Android has a zillion apps and plenty of paid ones too. Anecdotal evidence is worthless, but the 40 people I know of all ages with Android phones are certainly the gamut of "typical Android users".
I think it comes down to Android not making it easy enough to develop the apps, which you mentioned. With iOS you make one app and it works everywhere pretty much - with Android you have hundreds or thousands of different models and software versions out there so it's PITA to get it working platform-wide. Android will overcome this, they know it's a huge issue and their income suffers along with the app developers' income so they have a lot of reason to fix it.�
Apr 1, 2015
caps04 Why don't we have a new poll thread asking which phones owners use?

gmontem Unless Tesla is charging for their iOS and Android apps, how is app purchase numbers relevant?
And yes, a poll has been done before.�
Apr 1, 2015
Mercury That's actually not true, at least from my perspective as a contract developer. I've been on probably a little over a dozen mobile projects in the last 3-4 years, doing both Android and iOS work. Typically, the Android guy points out his work at the same rate as the iOS guy and the delivery time is the same - whether I'm the Android guy or the iOS guy.
Android's fragmentation makes life difficult for some types of apps, but it's just one in many factors that make up each platform's strengths and weaknesses. Doing battle with the cert requirements and heavier server infrastructure for APN's can create an equal schedule hit on the other side of a few copied layouts to support multiple Android densities.
It's almost certain, however, that iOS users tend to be more affluent. If you walk into a Verizon store with an empty pocket, you will walk out with an Android phone.
As you move "up" the curve into the higher brackets (and Model S owners), I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that those car owners are tilted heavily towards iOS. Even the time tracking software used by my sister's law firm only supports iOS for mobile (in addition to Windows/OSX).
Hopefully, Tesla will catch Android up soon, as the actual expense of keeping an app that simple updated is quite trivial in terms of project work. A UX guy, PM, and a few devs are not a ton of money. Either that or open the API and document it so the community can do the work.�
Apr 2, 2015
Kbra So the Google Play store shows how many times the Tesla app has been downloaded (~10,000). That should give a rough idea of users though there is obviously some people with more than one device using the app and there is also households with more than one Tesla...
Does iTunes show a download #?�
Apr 2, 2015
beegee Gotta agree with FlasherZ. I know more Tesla owners that use Android than IOS- myself included. It is kind of lame that they don't support it as well.�
Apr 2, 2015
DriverOne Not a public count, no. Tesla would have access to that number though.
I wasn't trolling. I'm an app developer and I see download and usage numbers. Android's generally not where usage is at. I was answering OP's question. Sorry to point out a negative aspect of your chosen OS.�

chuckd As a developer of both IOS and Android apps, I can tell you it's no big deal to add push notifications to an Android app. This is simply due to nobody thinking this has a high enough priority at Tesla.
Literally, it's a two man day effort, at the very worst case scenario!�
Apr 4, 2015
preilly44 We should all email Tesla to request it at the same time. Maybe that will get their attention. What email address do we email?

android is 80% of the market and iOS is less than 14%
iOS is only really popular in the US and no where else, on the other side of the world people dont like being locked into things which is why you never find a locked phone over seas, only in north america.�
Apr 5, 2015
liuping iOS is more popular with the demographics that also buys relatively expensive EVs.
The 80% market number is based on a huge number of cheap Android phones available and is meaningless to Tesla.�
Apr 5, 2015
beeeerock Since you're a developer, maybe you can comment on the Android-BlackBerry situation? My understanding is that the Android emulator in the BlackBerry is quite robust and apps don't require much tweaking - perhaps no more than what you see across the various Android phones. BlackBerry also supposedly offers a service that lets a developer test their app and get feedback on whether modifications are needed and where. But in spite of that, I don't see much interest in getting the apps 'ported' to the BlackBerry Android list.
I recognize BlackBerry isn't in vogue any longer and likely never will be again, but it does exist and there are users who want the apps. Given the apparent simplicity of porting across, it would seem to me (as a guy who has no idea of what really goes into an app!) that doing a couple of minor tweaks to include BlackBerry would gain users with little incremental development cost. Seemingly a no-brainer, but it's not happening. Why?
I'm not trolling for an OS war, just wondering what the thinking is on the developer's side of the fence!�
Apr 5, 2015
green1 People say that all the time, however I have never seen anyone provide any proof whatsoever. The argument seems to boil down to rabid fanboism rather than any statistics or even common sense.
Android outsells iphone more than 4 to 1, androids are more powerful, and far more likely to be used by tech savvy early adopters.
I find it sad that companies prioritize the iphone despite it's tiny market share.�
Apr 5, 2015
liuping There have been several studies showing iPhone adoption vs Android based on income levels. Tesla owners are not just early adopters, they are generally high income earners. So the phone that sells better to that group gets priority.
Companies generally prioritize iOS development because they make more money on iPhone app sales. iPhone users consistently buy more apps than android users.
Also, Android is on a ton of junk phones, as well as some really good ones. Among the best (and best selling) of the Android phones are the Samsung Galaxy phones which sell about the same or slight less than the iPhones.�
Apr 5, 2015
dasRad I suspect that you haven't been to Amsterdam recently. Nowhere else have I seen such market dominance by Apple (including North America). Virtually every phone I saw in public was an iPhone. At first I thought it was coincidence so I started actively looking at phones and it was disconcerting how few phones weren't iPhones. Having said that, I was relieved to see that in Den Hague, the majority of phones were Android (or non-smart), much like the rest of Europe.�
Apr 5, 2015
MartinAustin Even if Tesla actually knew the breakdown of Android vs iOS users around the world (don't forget... this isn't just about what is going on in the USA), no-one there said "We're only going to support the platform that has sold the most so far." They intend to support all that are major platforms. They support Android and iOS, period. They are both important enough to support... both have hundreds of millions of users around the world and billions of app downloads. Those two jostle back and forth for #1 position, in various ways, depending on how you break down the sales data for phones and apps.
As for why the Android version doesn't push notifications about OS updates (and as an Android user I would definitely like that), I am sure it's an oversight, as the chap said above it is not a large amount of work. IMO it's likely the software team inside Tesla is the one developing these apps (versus an outside house), and their work tasks are prioritized in some huge database. This tweak to the Android phone app is almost certainly in there... it's just getting prioritised under the other tasks for software inside the car like 7.0 and so on.
As for why Windows hasn't been supported yet, I think they just haven't gotten around to it yet. They surely will. Might be something to do with expertise among the existing software team (in addition to numbers of Windows phones sold so far)
Personally, I would also like an option to receive a push notification when the car stops charging.�
Apr 5, 2015
Andyw2100 We can continue debating whether there are more android users or iPhone users in the Tesla owner group and why. But as far as I'm concerned, and as far as Tesla should be concerned, it shouldn't matter. Even if iPhone users outnumber android users four to one in this group, what Tesla is currently doing is treating 20% of their customers as second class citizens when it comes to app usage. Tesla, by not allocating the two apps equivalent resources and priority, is telling some not insignificant portion of its customers--customers who spent $50,000-$140,000 give or take on a car--that they don't care enough about them to spend a little more time and effort developing a phone app so that it is the equivalent of the other phone app available. Does it really matter if the percentage of customers we are talking about is 20%, 30%, 50%, or even 60%? We're talking about thousands and thousands of people, who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars. Tesla should be embarrassed.�
Apr 5, 2015
aviators99 There is much flawed logic in your implied conclusion here. Basically, you are implying that since high income earners (generally) buy more iPhones and Tesla owners are (generally) high income earners, therefore Tesla owners are (generally) iPhone buyers. If that's your conclusion, I don't agree that you can reach it.
- - - Updated - - -
That reason isn't because they "don't use apps". It's because there are more free apps on Android. People who buy iDevices, by definition, are willing to pay more for the same stuff they can get cheaper elsewhere. So that's why developers make 4x more profit on iPhone. (Which is completely irrelevant for the Tesla app).
To get back to the main topic, I believe they are using a common framework that is known to have a problem with push notification for Android (for now).�
Apr 6, 2015
bob_p Tesla may be stuck in the "develop on iPhone and then port to Android" mode - guaranteeing that Android will always lag behind the iPhone for Tesla.
I've had my P85 for over two years - and the Android app is still labelled as "Beta" in the Android app store.
One way out of this dilemma could be to change the architecture of their app. Since app relies on Internet connectivity to even work, instead of having the app run on the smartphone, they could run the app on the server side and push the user interface down to the phone, along with whatever connectivity was needed inside the phone (such as notifications or access to the personal calendar).
If they did this, not only could they more easily keep the iPhone and Android apps in sync - it would be much easier to add the app to lower volume platforms (such as Windows Phone) and provide similar desktop apps for Apple and Windows (and Linux?) desktops.
Based on the slow pace of releases (at least for the Android app), it may be (past) time for Tesla to re-evaluate their strategy for their app - and change the design to make it easier to run on multiple platforms.�
Apr 6, 2015
eco5280 Anecdotal evidence is usually worth what you've paid for it. Amsterdam has nearly a million residents and another 4 million tourists/yr. How many phones did you survey? Unless it was in the thousands, your conclusions may have been limited to the coffeeshop that was unknowingly next to the Apple store�
Apr 6, 2015
DEinspanjer I don't think that Tesla would necessarily be depending on difficult to interpret market demographics and research for iOS vs Android. The fact is they do have an app out on both platforms, and their drivers are highly incentivized to use the app if it is available for their phone. That means that it would be trivial and expected for someone at Tesla to be keeping track of the number of active users on each platform.
While I am an Android user as well, and I am right up there with others complaining about the second-class citizen status, I have to imagine that it is actually because they don't see enough active users to prioritize it over iOS..�
Apr 6, 2015
liuping I agree, it's not very solid conclusion.
There is also this very unscientific poll: Do You Have a Smartphone? - Page 2
And the number of iPhones, I see at Tesla gatherings, etc.
All antidotal, but I've seen enough to be quite certain that it is no where near 80% Android to 15% iOS among Tesla Owner.
In the end it does not matter, Tesla supports both. even if the updates are not always 100% parity, they will be soon enough to not worry about it much.�
Apr 6, 2015
eco5280 OKAY FOLKS. Let's do a new poll, even if just for fun.
2015 Poll for all owners - Android or iPhone?�
Apr 6, 2015
Andyw2100 My point was that for what it costs to develop the apps, as compared to what it costs to build the cars, as compared to what we spend on the cars, Tesla should not be thinking about prioritizing. They should be throwing enough money at app development so that the apps can be developed at the same rate, and so that the apps can be equivalent apps. If there's something that Tesla wants us to be able to do in one of the apps, then we should be able to do it in the other app. We're not talking about Tesla having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars designing and machining parts. We're talking about a couple of software engineers and some coding.�
Apr 6, 2015
liuping A new poll is a good idea, but announcing it on the "Tesla App on Android" thread might skew the results a bit.�
Apr 6, 2015
eco5280 So announce it in every thread and see how the mods react�
Apr 6, 2015
chuckd Again, from a developer on both IOS and Android platforms, IOS is significantly easier to develop for. This is because the development platform (Xcode) is significantly farther along than Android Studio and lightyears beyond Eclipse. Plus, everything is native code on the IOS platform, so a developer is not nearly as far removed from what is going on in the OS.
I've seen many developers talk that they consider it at least a 2:1 ratio of how long it takes to develop for Android vs IOS.
This is primarily the reason you see most new apps come out for IOS first, and I believe it's why the IOS app here is more finished/polished. It was simply easier to do.�
Apr 6, 2015
Andyw2100 That might be an acceptable answer for a three-person company, just starting out, that wanted to get an app out to some of their customers as quickly as they could. For a company the size of Tesla, if that really is the answer the situation is even more ridiculous than I thought it was.�
Apr 6, 2015
beegee That may be the case for writing the app from scratch, but it doesn't really explain the complete lack of notifications on the Android app.�
Apr 6, 2015
supratachophobia You know, i was only slightly miffed at the recent bug in the android app. But now that i come to find its not just me AND android in general takes a significant backseat in features with regards to notifications, I'm more than slightly miffed and a little disappointed in Tesla.�
Apr 6, 2015
chuckd I do agree with you guys. Adding push notifications to an Android app is quite easy, and there's no excuse for not implementing it.�
Apr 7, 2015
aviators99 It may or may not be relevant, but the Android version came out first.
- - - Updated - - -
It is the excuse I mentioned earlier, in that there is a certain development framework that is for developing Android/iOS at the same time that has a known issue with push notifications for Android.

All IDEs suck, and I blame them for the demise of humankind.�
Apr 7, 2015
chuckd Lol, if Windows could just take over the phone market, we'd all be much happier with Visual Studio. It's the best IDE I've seen so far.
Didn't know that the Android version came out first, that's sad. I'd be happy to share code with Tesla how to add push notifications to the app. Just saying......�
Apr 7, 2015
liuping I'm not explaining an "Android win", I have no vested interest in the outcome. I'm only "explaining" an initial Android lead.
Even if the poll is only mentioned initially in an Android app thread, enough people look at all new posts that it will be seen over time by a large sample of users.
I'm am 100% certain you will not see anything like 80% Android to iOS users though. I would actually be surprised if, after sufficient time, it did not settle down to around 55-45 in favor of iOS.
I have nothing against Android phones, I just prefer to like iOS. I have quite a few apps purchased over the years and I like the phone designs, so I stay with it. As older phone get passed down the the wife and kids, it's convent to stay on the same system so all the apps work on everyone's phones with repurchasing, etc.�

Pilot_51 I'll stay out of the OS popularity fight and just say that Tesla has over 10,000 employees and two official apps that they currently support, so they should have no problem hiring one full-time Android developer to keep feature parity with iOS which appears to have a full-time developer. Why it's a problem, I haven't a clue.
A couple weekends ago, I was desperate enough to contact Tesla complaining about the missing features and offered to be a remote developer or consultant for free (under condition of flexibility since I'm not leaving my current job) and so far only got this response: "Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors technical support regarding our Android application. We appreciate your feedback and will be sending it to our app team to hopefully have the missing features added in a future update."
I extracted the apk of the Android app and found that there are some classes for notifications, which I don't doubt have been sitting there unused for a long time due to something (I suspect mainly priorities) preventing full implementation.
I went further by decompiling it to read the notifications layout, which contains views for the charge state, car alarm, and software update. The drawer layout has the visibility of the notification option set to "gone". I removed that and recompiled to reveal what you see in the screenshots below. Unfortunately, the settings don't save after enabling them, so notifications don't work.
The classes decompiled to Smali, which I find quite difficult to understand. If it were Java, I'd try my hand at fixing notifications myself and giving it to Tesla. I think until I understand Smali enough to edit it, any changes I make to the app would need to be limited to the XML, which has no hope of fixing notifications.
Some other things of interest that I found, mostly in strings:
- Support for 65 languages (not including dialects)
- A few mentions of Android Wear support
- "Sign in with Google"
- Google ads library included, with "Allow Ad to create a calendar event?" and "Allow Ad to store image in Picture gallery?" in strings
- "Buy with Google" referencing Wallet
- A string for developer sign-in: "SIGN IN TO TESLA DEV"

wk057 I've sent an email to Tesla previously about the iOS/Android app disparity also. I may revisit it in a month or so.
<rant>
I personally despise iOS. Closed source, locked down, and not user or developer friendly. I've wasted hours on such debates in person. Usually after demonstrating plenty of functionality iOS lacks, superior performance from two year old android devices vs. current gen iOS devices on nearly all common tasks, and other such completely objective and quantifiable data points where iOS fails... the person on the iOS side of the debate generally just defaults to "I just like iOS better" for whatever reason. To each there own I guess. But, before I get too OT...
</rant>
Tesla has an app for Android, so this shouldn't be a problem, right? Well it wouldn't be a problem if the apps had the same feature set. It's a dead simple app, basically just a front end UI to the back end API. There is pretty much no excuse for the versions to differ in features.
Android has something like 4x the market share of iOS. It doesn't make a lot of sense for them to pack more features into the iOS version vs the Android version. At the very least they should have the same functionality.
I don't think this is asking for a lot. It's not like we're asking for a Window Mobile app (< 2% market share?). lol.
In all honesty, if Tesla essentially leaves the Android app behind and focuses only on iOS for current and new features like the trip planner and other upcoming features (enable/disable valet mode) Tesla will probably eventually lose my complete recommendation as a product and company as a whole. Why? Many reasons, but an easy one is because out of everyone I know in real life that I would ever think to suggest Tesla to maybe 1% are iOS users. "Yeah get this awesome car.... but to use awesome features X, Y, and Z you'll have to get an Apple iOS device to use Tesla's mobile app." Sorry, just not going to happen. I'm anti-iOS for many reasons, and maybe I'll write up a rant later. But I'm not going to switch to Apple nonsense to get functionality that should be in the Android version of the app.�

Apr 17, 2015
Damiano While I don't doubt that's true in the Bay Area and SoCal, it is certainly not the case in Tesla's key markets in Europe and Asio, where Android dominates. It's just a resource prioritization issue. It appears App improvements in general have taken a back seat to Car software improvements.�
Apr 17, 2015
wk057 Missed this comment the first time around.
Android market shows the number of installs at between 10,000 and 50,000.... which is a large percentage of owners even on the low end. iOS store hides that information, so, we'll have to look at something else.....
I think number of ratings on the respective markets is telling in this case. There are something like nearly 5x more ratings on the Android market than the iOS store for their respective Tesla apps. Based on that alone I'd say your assertion is false.�

supratachophobia I've had this happen on my tablet all the time. Basically if you launch the app from a device and use it, and then there is an extended period of time without internet access, you rack up these can't connect messages every five minutes or so.
Assuming you had problems while on your guest wifi, your time without connectivity was at least 8hrs at work. With an error every five min; that's 100 messages to acknowledge; which is why they seem they wont go away. For whatever reason, your guest wifi wasn't allowing app connectivity. It could be that wireless isolation was turned on in the access point and both the car and phone were connected to it. Or it could just be your access point only passes http traffic and absolutely nothing else.
You need force quit the app and then you need to clear all the caches under the app info.�

beeeerock Mine are also silent and I haven't found a way to assign a sound to them either. I have also noted that in my case at least, I receive two notifications sent at the same time for every event. Don't know why, but assume it's just a bug.�

green1 I have the same bug, but it's more like 90% of the time not 100%�

Andyw2100 I also had that issue. I eventually resolved it via a combination of reinstalling the app and also rebooting the car. After doing both a few times, the poblem eventually went away.�

Pilot_51 I decompiled the app and found that they didn't program the notifications to make sound. Does the iOS app make notification sounds? If so, it would almost seem as though they're intentionally holding back the Android app to never be as good as the iOS app, because it's as simple as adding a single line to tell it to use the default notification sound.
Until they fix it, there are third-party apps that can essentially force notifications to make sounds. I made one that speaks notifications through TTS.�
