App for@: autorotate on opening an app When I open my car app I want the whole phone to autorotate or go into landscape. Can I do this? I have an app that can set rotate for certain apps on an app by app basis but I can't find one that will set the global mode to autorotate when a certain app...

Mate I understand that is correct. Upgrade to Lollipop ( my wife recently did that and all data remained safe) and you should be fine. I'm thinking of buying the head unit to use with my Note 4 but am in two minds.

Ok mate so if I go down a custom rom route will that mean I lose all the stuff like optical image stabilisation, s pen stuff, multi window, widgets etc? Are there ROMs that have those things built into them? I don't like touch wiz much so would like to get out of that and do my own, and get...

Aaaah ok. That is better. So I can keep whatever I want? Is that just your specific type of rom or root or whatever or are they mostly like that? I'm with EE in England.

I have natehoy and it comes up as "not compatible" hence the question. Something to do with android going from mass storage to mtp at some point. Edit: ah you mean use a jack to jack for aux input? Yeah I could do that but it's worse quality and might interfere with bluetooth running properly...

Hi guys, I'm very new to Android. Just bought a Note 4 and am thinking of rooting it. Done a load of reading but would just like clarification please on: 1) Is there an app/fix to make my phone USB mass storage compatible so I can put it into my car stereo to read like a USB stick so I can...

Thanks Muzzy. My HU does have Bluetooth though so... I think I'm getting more confused the more I think about it. Ok what i'm thinking then is to get something like the iBOLT or BluClik bluetooth remote button so I can press that and it will start up Google Voice... then I'm hoping when it...

You're right mate. It's new and hopefully will get better. On that basis I've decided to risk it and yes will switch over to Android but will not risk spending £600+ on the AA route whilst it's the way it is. Thanks again everyone. I'll watch this space. In the meantime I'm checking out...

Hi guys, lifelong iOS man here being brave by risking it with an Android, namely the Note 4. I've done a ton of reading and am completely confused as some of what I've read is pre-Lollipop so please help me with up to date advice! Much as I dislike iOS one thing they got right (and the only...

Thank you for answering my question. Really quite ridiculously awful and no matter how advanced Android Auto is, not havign anywhere near decent music functionality is basically falling at the first hurdle and it's where Carplay, with it's boring icons and inferior map etc, outshines AA...

Hi mate thanks for this info, very helpful!. Can you tell me: do you just press the microphone touch button on the stereo and it works? Or do you have to press a button on the phone or something? Because from what I read and have tried on the S5 pressing the mic button on the Pioneer does...

Guys, GP seems rubbish in that you can't browse and search easily without voice, but I saw a youtube video where someone chose a track on google play then exited out of AA on the Pioneer head unit and I could see that same track playing in the Pioneer's native inbuilt player. Can someone...

Please do refute if you have the time mate. You'll be leaning on an open door as I want to move but won't spend £100s on a Note 4 if it means the Auto experience is worthless!

I'm glad I read the first impressions thread - going to stay with iPhone! Lifelong Apple man but was about to buy an Android as I hate the company (Apple) and wanted something with removable battery and am/was on the verge of buying a Note 4 only to see that it would be pointless as going by...
