Fiancée and I are going abroad to Italy for 2 weeks during our Honeymoon. We would like to have at least basic mobile smartphone access for things like: Google, Google Maps and Tripadvisor. We both have CDMA phones (Moto X 2014 & Galaxy S4) and understand neither are globally compatible. What...

I'm happy to report that switching over to Android Open Source Project 4.3 improved my Bluetooth experience. Mind you, I am on Verizon and that carrier has yet to release Android 4.3, so my usage is based on a "custom ROM." If you are comfortable with flashing custom ROMs, by all means, I highly...

I think I will try this (Unpair Media and only keep Hands Free paired) with my '10 Maxima and report back. The downside is that I do listen stream audio quite a bit (e.g. Pandora), but luckily, I have RCA plugs and I'll buy an Aux Adapter. Either way, let's hope this potential "fix" will last...

I realize thread is old, but I also wanted to chime in for future users who are looking to have the same question answered. I had the Galaxy Nexus for over a year, and despite the flexibility of always having updated community software (e.g. custom ROM's), the battery life and limited RAM...

If you decide to stay with Touchwiz and Android 4.1.2, I also recommend BoneStock. It was (for me) the least buggy and smoothest of the Touchwiz ROM's. For me, I am thinking about jumping to one of the custom 4.3 ROM's (mainly because I really, really, really need to fix my Bluetooth woes that...

Bluetooth is kind of b0rk3d to begin with in Jelly Bean. :( Although this thread is from the T-Mobile S3 forum, multiple users there have other carriers. There is a wide variety of Bluetooth problems -- some folks have issues with media streaming while others have calling issues. I don't know...

For those who root and flash custom ROMs, can you comment on whether a custom 4.3 ROM (e.g. CyanogenMod 4.2) has fixed your Bluetooth car/voice issues?

SwiftKey has, in my opinion, the best prediction engine compared to all other keyboards - even Google's. The main complaint with SwiftKey is that many users, including myself, experience lag. - Lag when typing in landscape mode - Lag when typing in other apps (E.g. lots of complaints about...

Like the OP, I am also considering a waterproof tablet system of some sort for the shower stall. I like to watch the news in the morning and/or have music running in the background while I shower. The Pantech Element is still the only waterproof tablet out there that is reasonably priced. It...

I'm glad I found this thread! Add me to the list. I have a 2010 Nissan Maxima with Navigation/Tech package and I've had Bluetooth distortion/robotic/wind tunnel call audio issues on BOTH my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus (which had ran on Android 4.2 and 4.2.1) as well as my Samsung Galaxy sIII...

I realize this is an older thread but wanted to add to the Maxima comment since trying to talk computer/tech stuff on Nissan-specific forums is impossible (e.g. most people there are more concerned with ricing and wheels, rather than BT call quality). I, too, have a Nissan Maxima (2010 with...

I have an s3 and definitely notice a SwiftKey lag if either Smart Rotation and/or Auto Rotation are enabled. The keyboard is very laggy, especially in landscape mode. It's such a shame because the prediction algorithms are superb with SwiftKey, rather than on the stock Google Keyboard (which...

I haven't gone as far as Greenifying Google's own apps, but have found Greenify to be helpful in shutting down apps that either sit idly in memory (e.g. Pandora and Tune-In Radio) or poorly-written apps that misbehave (e.g. Yahoo Mail, where I tell it to not sync and it still does). So far so...

IF you're referring to "Google Maps," you may have accidentally and unknowingly installed a corrupted version. I would try to uninstall/reinstall Maps and see if that fixes your issue. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII

IMO, Nova provides a similar but enhanced user experience compared to stock Touchwiz. As others have mentioned, being able to group shortcuts into folders on both the homescreen AND app drawer is awesome. I also love being able to modify the number of columns and rows available to shortcuts on...
