    Question What if?? Apple & Android

    iMessaging is more stable and RCS isn't yet fully adopted/implemented by all and for end to end encryption. Other than that, my opinion is RCS and iMessaging are basically the same.

    Question What if?? Apple & Android

    iMessage really isn't different than RCS, is it? FaceID/unlock works pretty good on Samsung, doesn't it? I think lots of Apple users do indeed like AirDrop. Is IOS more secure than Android?

    Question Android Auto bluetooth connectivity problem

    I've read lots of posts on various forums about seemingly no rhyme or reason to a collection of symptoms like you describe (and had some of those myself with my earlier lower tier Samsung phone) and I think in some cases there's a collection of things in combination that are at play. All I can...

    Android Auto Shortcuts

    What model of phone and head unit in your vehicle do you have? Others reporting that the annoying frame will show up (away from full screen maps) when the vehicle is stopped, but I think that is a function of their head unit. Maybe your's likewise has some nuances. For me, selecting the maps...

    Sync Do Not Disturb with Android phone

    Samsung phone. I didn't realize the DoNotDisturb sync was dependent on the phone being Samsung. The Wear Manager App I have is from Samsung, but from Play Store not Galaxy Store, and I don't have Samsung accounts on either of the devices. I figured the Wear Manager App would have been the same...

    Sync Do Not Disturb with Android phone

    It's definitely there in the Wear Manager app for older versions, under notification settings.

    Android Auto Shortcuts

    The frame on the left of your picture can basically provide a shortcut non full screen way to play the media files from your phone, and for into messaging. From what I understand, it's a standard function of Android Auto, not an app. If you have an Android Auto compatible media player app on...

    Cleaning up "Other" storage

    You may have already tried this, but if you take stock of what apps you have and which ones you could potentially do without from an app perspective by instead using web browser and PWA versions, that could potentially help a bit. Probably won't help for some apps/services, but might for others...

    Android 15/16 on BlackBerry Key2

    I don't think I've seen any chatter about this here on AC. https://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=1198847&p=13691573#post13691573

    Samsung photo app taking over and merging files w/o consent and creating junk files. How to stop?

    What exactly do you mean by each of those statements?

    Question Android Auto battery optimization

    I think the frustration you have is a result of how Xiaomi has decided to deploy their specific version of Android. Like Mustang, I have a few different simple ways to control battery optimization for Android Auto. So, it's probably not really Android's fault overall. I guess the fact that...

    Cleaning up "Other" storage

    For me, tapping on "other" will show me some of the files and then allow me to decide to delete them. However, it won't show me all of them. I can tell because the ones it'll show add up to way less than it says exist. For me, that's with the built in MyFiles file manager app for Samsung, after...

    Speed and limits on split screen but not on full screen.

    Or some Kenwood forums (although I won't be surprised if some other folks here in AC might also be able to help).

    Speed and limits on split screen but not on full screen.

    I don't have any Tom Tom apps/functionality on my phone for Android Auto nor on my (extremely limited/simple) head unit. Only the default Google Maps app served up to Android Auto from my phone. For me, the speed limit only shows up when I'm actually actively navigating with directions to a...
