    Drop-Down Music Notifications

    For some time now, the two music apps I use the most (Pandora and Tunein) have displayed new song titles as they play as drop-downs on my Escape's head unit over Google Maps. It's possible other music apps do this, too - I just don't use anything else. For whatever reason, this hasn't seemed...

    Does the phone make a difference with Android Auto?

    Yes, that makes sense, and I believe the phone does make a difference. I, too, had a Galaxy S7, and sometimes when giving it a verbal command, I'd wonder if it was going to respond. My Galaxy S9 never has that issue. Granted, I never tried factory resetting the S7 to see if it just needed a...

    Android Auto and Pie (Pixel 2XL)

    I have Oreo and sometimes get "What is your message?" as part of what it repeats to me, as well as sometimes asking me twice what my message is (after I've already given it), and the second time it's asked in a slightly different voice. I'm guessing an update to AA is what caused it, probably...

If you scroll down your list of messages, you may find your missing group message sorted at the date the conversation first started. I think that's poor behavior, but I haven't looked for a fix - I just live with it.

    I can't say I know anything about the "innards" of our devices, but did you perhaps try the new screen with your old cable (if that's even possible)?

    Has anyone gotten the OTA kitkat update?

    Thanks for this! I got home with my tablet yesterday evening to find that it had failed to download the 185MB OTA update. There was a "Retry Download" button, but pressing it repeatedly did nothing, even after powering off/on my tablet. I used this trick to force it to try again, the process...

    Verizon: 12.15.15.obakem_verizon.Verizon.en.US Released

    Re: Verizon: 12.15.10.obakem_verizon.Verizon.en.US Released According to Droid Life, this update can cause a boot loop on rooted devices. I have no idea if you're rooted and no idea how to fix it if you are - just throwin' that out there as a possibility. Sent from my Nexus 7 using AC Forums...

    How come my Chrome bookmarks on my

    On desktop Chrome, you can find your Mobile Bookmarks by clicking the 3-bar menu icon, choosing Bookmarks, and then scrolling to the bottom. At least that's how it appears on my system.
