Svoice does the same thing with my Kenwood head unit. It activates, but won't listen. Google Now will listen, but only activates if the screen is on. I don't have to say "Ok Google". If screen is off, the Google voice dialer comes up instead. I also tried Dragon Mobile Assistant, but that did...

I was having lots of problems keeping a 5 ghz connection on my Netgear Nighthawk. Wifi Analyzer showed that the signal strength was very erratic. After the latest router firmware update, it has been much more stable. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

PIN and pattern Lock screen can't be bypassed. From what I understand, this is an Android 4.2 "feature". I use the "Delayed Lock" app to get around the problem. It disables the PIN lock screen when connected to specific Bluetooth devices. It does require that you unlock the screen once after...

I have a Kenwood HU and have had some problems, mostly with establishing a connection. What works best for me is to turn off Bluetooth before turning on the car and turning it back on after the radio is up and running. S voice works ok, but cannot work through a PIN lock screen. I am using...

I would not just "guess" at a static IP address. You could end up duplicsting an existing address, which can cause various problems on the network. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Re: Is a glass screen protector really worth it? I'm happy with the Spigen protector, but I have not tried the front-facing camera. I don't sense any loss of sensitivity. I do like the feel of the glass. The Otterbox protector I had on my Vibrant had a decent tactile feel, but nothing like...

Re: 2 Bluetooth devices on samsung galaxy s4 Connecting to multiple bluetooth devices is not supported.

MAP doesn't work with my car radio (Kenwood). It's odd that the S4 doesn't support MAP. The SII worked with both Ford Sync and the Kenwood. Bluetooth in general seems to have lots of problems on the S4.
