I just purchased a new Cadillac XTS and a friend of mine introduced me to the Android Auto he is using in his Audi A-7 and I was impressed. Especially with the detail of the Nav display which was showing in satellite view. So yesterday I picked up a Google Pixel, loaded the app and plugged in...

I have a 2016 Cadillac and just purchased a Google Pixel in order to use Android Auto. A friend is also using aa and is able to set it to show a satellite on the nav system but I've been unable to do that and wonder what I need to do to make that happen

Hi, couple more questions on my new Maxx. On the home screen there is a widget for time/temp/etc that is taking up a lot of screen room I would rather use for other apps and can not seem to remove it. Same question with a couple of other apps I put on the home screen. When I do a prolong...

I understand that FoxFi won't work in WiFi mode and have been able to tether via the USB feature but the Bluetooth is defeating all attempts to tether to the PC. Everything seems to be paired OK but it doesn't seem to talk to the PC. I do have the PDAnet for desktop installed....wondering if I...

Title kind of tell is all. I dropped my beloved Razr Maxx face down onto a steel deck and the glass is shattered. Funny thing is that it still works but needs to be replaced. I can find used ones no problem but figured I might look at the latest offerings and see if there is any significant...

Got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. My wife has a transformer table that she uses to read Kindle book but after the latest a couple of weeks ago, the screen brightness on the Kindle app has been reduced to about 30% or so. Setting the brightness to manual doesn't help and it's...

I did the ICS upgrade a couple of days ago and I'm still learning how to use it but one thing has me baffled. Occasionally I get a notification sound but there is nothing in the notification bar telling me what it is. I did check sounds and nothing odd is enabled just "vibrate and ring" and...

Verizon replace my Maxx with a refurbished phone when I had a problem and yesterday I got it up and running plus downloaded and installed ICS. Now, all of a sudden, I have a 4G connection that I never had before. Seeings as how I am in a relatively rural area in OR and not near any major...

Yesterday I had the strangest thing happen. Called my wife and couldn't hear a thing while it was connecting. She answered and still couldn't hear and when she called back....still nothing. I checked all the settings and the sounds played but at a low volume and incoming calls would ring but...

It's been awhile since I last needed a headset but now I'm going to get a new bluetooth headset. Just wonder what is a good but very inexpensive one. I tend to lose/destroy them on a reqular basis so all I want is one that will answer a call. Need not do anything else except have a volume...

I saw on another post that ICS may be coming fairly soon but major updates also cause me anxiety....at least from Microsoft. As a light user who has barely grasped the basic functions of the existing OS what can I expect to see once the ICS is installed and running? Any problem with downloade...

I've been using the SkyDroid golf app that came with the phone and it works pretty good but I'm wondering if I should be looking at some others. The phone is not my primary golff GPS, but I find it handy to be on my belt if I need a distance and my Sky Caddie is elsewhere.....like with my wife...

I'm still getting used to the Maxx and Android in general. So far it's been a very positive experience but a couple of small things are driving me nuts. First is the search button on the lower right. I'm not even sure why it's there but it's perfectly positioned so that I'm constently...

I'm off to Quebec, Canada for the first time with my droid phone and wondering if there is anything special I need to do. I suspect the data and phone charges are a bit high so I would like minimize any automatic data usage for any apps like email, updates, and etc. Of course I assuming it...

Do any of the compass apps compute the Magnetic Variation based on your location?? Perhaps even display in both magnetic and true??

Is there an app with would disable the little ringer volume switch after the phone goes to sleep?? I have found myself turning down the ringer volume inadvertantly when it's in the holster. Also, when the key is pressed it wakes the phone up. I find both those situations undesirable and would...

As a novice to Android I'm trying to understand some of characteristics and in some cases how to change them. On this phone, it seems that the display winks out fairly quickly than I need to push the button and swipe the screen to get back to what I was doing. It would be handy to eliminate at...
