    had my wireless android auto working..

    I've been searching all over for a potential solution to this exact issue, same stereo but with an S9+. I just uninstalled AA, and am going to try again. Gonna check and see if Kenwood pushed out new firmware as well.

    Ridiculous verdict in Apple/Samsung case

    This is one of the things Samsung is going to bring up in regards to the penalty. It's assumed that all that money would've went to Apple had the Samsung devices not exist. That's just not true, and it's next to impossible to put a number on it. I can tell you, it's a lot lower than ~$1 billion.

    Ridiculous verdict in Apple/Samsung case

    lol at that last line. Look at guitars, there are two basic shapes, the Fender shape, and the Gibson shape. I can't count the number of guitars that look like Fenders... HOWEVER, the Headstock is what is protected. You come out with a guitar that has that trademark scroll at the top, and Fender...

    Ridiculous verdict in Apple/Samsung case

    Apple did not "invent" the capacitive touch screen phone. When the iPhone first came out, it was not even a smartphone, it was a feature phone, and it wasn't the first one with a capacitive touch screen. It became a smartphone later in it's life when the App store came out, but it wasn't the...

    Jellybean- List your apps

    Just a quick heads up, Light Flow has a debugging widget (at least on mine it does.) If you put the widget on your homescreen, you can use it to clear notification lights that don't go away. You do have to set Light Flow up manually from scratch, and it is a little buggy (notifications don't...

    Miles logged

    I feel like I'm cheating... I bike at least 31.5 miles every other day, but I'm skipping today due to flat out time constraints. Tomorrow is probably gonna be longer than 31.5. It works out to about 100-120+ miles a week. In the next week or so I'm gonna bump that up a bit so I'm riding 5 days...

    How do you squeeze in workouts on busy days?

    So Mr. Excuse (Phil) said part of the reason he's been slacking off is because of long days at the office. Fair, but still, we all know the saying about excuses. Myself, I'm a bit of a "special" case in that I'm not losing weight, rather gaining muscle. Still, I work behind a computer most of...

    Endomondo Tips and Helpful advice

    Endo uses the GPS to track, I had issues with the GPS in my Fascinate locking properly, which lead to issues in Endomondo. I use the autopause, and it's pretty good. Do remember, even with Runkeeper and other tracking apps, considering we're talking about phones that have all kinds of battery...

    Fit is expensive

    If you're a guy, we might have to revoke your man card... It's easy, really... one of the easier forms of cooking. I have a cast iron griddle, not as good as a grill, but it's similar. Practice, there are tricks to tell if the meat is done without jabbing it with a fork or knife. Trust me...

    Fit is expensive

    This is a myth, really. You can get a bag of frozen chicken, some fresh veggies and a bag for rice for about $15 from the local store. That will last you a few days, lunch included. $15 worth of crap from McDonalds will net you 2-3 meals, tops. I spent $11 on a few things at the store the other...

    Adding Weight?

    lmao, I was JUST posting on a site I run about going the opposite of other people. I'm one of these people, can eat like a horse, but don't keep on weight, been tall and skinny all my life. I am NO means a workout expert, but I like to think I've got the basics down. :) Anyway, for people with...

    Staying Motiviated

    Flex in the mirror... Seriously, being on my bike not only helps with my fitness level, it gives me a chance to just zone out in the music I'm listening to. There are times when I just want to sit on the couch, so I've had to drag myself off the couch, but once I'm in the swing of it, I'd...

    Wifi advanced settings

    If you're in range, always on, Wifi uses less juice than the Data antenna does. If you're not in range, turn it off. Having an app that turns it on or off depending on if you're around a hotspot is a good idea.

    MNFM: Day 3

    Worked... I'm going out once I get home though. Probably 25 miles, maybe 30 if I get out early enough.
