    Best browsing experience

    I use Ghostery as my browser. I believe it eliminates a lot of the adware, tracking stuff, etc. so the pages load faster. If pages won't load because of the Ghostery settings, then I am not interested on what they have to offer. Flipboard was easy to disable - turn it off in the Application...

    how to upload mp3 music files to samsung galaxy s5

    Get a USB adapter that supports SD cards and use your PC. Microsoft has a nice, free utility - RichCopy. I'm not sure if I can post links here, so Google is your friend. Pull your SD card, stuff it into the adapter, and plug the adapter into your PC. You should be able to get it to mount as...

    Issue with Low Screen Brightness

    It is a hardware problem and not related to the software update. One of our S5s had the same problem before the update. Samsung warranty service turned the phone around rather quickly. Back up everything, pull your SD card and battery. Contact Samsung support. I sent the phone via UPS to...

    Honda talk button stopped working for AA- please help

    Not sure what to say... My understanding of AA is that it is a 'dumbed down' interface for apps on the phone. 'Simplified' may be a better word. I would think that the 'button' signals / commands aren't getting to the phone, but you said you tried different USB cables. That it works with a...

    Sorry, I thought your issue may have been related to the Google Now / OK Google problem I was having. I have never tried starting a navigation and then connecting to AA. I 'll have to give it a shot to see what happens. I have always waited until the car completed booting... yep, there is...

    No volume when reading texts

    @ xzjn9p, does Google Now / OK Google work stand alone - without being connected to AA? The support thread I saw was in Google Support, Search. There was not a separate forum for Google Now / OK Google. They (Google Support) said they felt the problem was resolved and requested anyone still...

    Honda talk button stopped working for AA- please help

    See if you can use Google Now / OK Google with the phone disconnected from the car. We were having an issue where OK Google was not responding with the voice prompts. If OK Google doesn't work (without AA), reboot your phone and try again. The thread I found related to OK Google not providing...

    Voice Response Missing/Muted

    Thank you for posting the information above. I am having the same problem. I thought it was an Android Auto problem, but tracked it back to Google Now. If I disconnect the phone from AA and try to send a text with OK Google / Google Now, the phone appears to understand the command and input...
