    Any confirmation of Android Auto working with HTC M9?

    It's not the brake. I have bypass in place. In doing more reading elsewhere, I think it has something to do with Bluetooth and whether it is already connected when trying to launch AA. Will tinker some more and see if I can figure out the trigger. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

    Any confirmation of Android Auto working with HTC M9?

    I have HTC M9 plus Pioneer 4100nex. Assuming it's a straight phone micro USB to Pioneer USB2 wired connection. No other wires, adapters, etc. For the life of me I can't get this to work. It will occasionally connect, but it doesn't more often than not. Is there a certain sequence to turn things...

    IPod style player recommendations?

    Will check out doubletwist. Just don't find the ones already on the device to be very intuitive with user friendly interfaces. But like you, I'm on Pandora mostly. Mainly use stored songs when kids are with me. Other recommendations still welcomed. Thanks!

    IPod style player recommendations?

    Both the built in Samsung and Google Music Play apps are horrid. One of the ONLY areas where I miss my old iPhone days. I'm just looking for a nice, clean music app to play the songs in my library. I do want one that will stream song metadata via BT to my truck stereo. Don't need lots of bells...

    Alternative to Pandora?

    Tried Spotify on my drive back from lunch. Exact same behavior as Pandora which is starting to make me think it has more to do with the phone than the individual software. Sound plays fine through the bluetooth connection, but the album/artist data shown on the Pioneer screen remains on the...

    Alternative to Pandora?

    My main thing for Pandora was that it created a custom station based on artists I listed. My favorite station was actually comedians doing stand up. I tried "Jeff Fox worthy" on a whim and it worked. :)

    Alternative to Pandora?

    I'll try Spotify. And Kevin I DON'T have AppRadio either. I clarified that since it is supposedly more Android friendly. Mine's a model 2400BT, but I'm thinking all the non appradio pioneers should work the same.

    AT&T Jelly Bean Update FINALLY Available via Kies!!!!!

    I can't get this to work. Tried the various suggestions in this thread. 1 - Click Upgrade Kies: screen says "Latest version is installed. 2.5.0.12104_15" 2 - Click Tools / Firmware upgrade settings - Latest firmware autodownload is checked (bot nothing shows up in the window below it) 3 -...

    Alternative to Pandora?

    Anyone got an alternative to Pandora? I was using it with a Pioneer car stereo (not the AppRadio) with my old iPhone 4. Now that I've converted to the Android S3, it doesn't "play nice" with units optimized for Apple products. I lost all capability to plug the unit directly into the Pioneer's...

    "TEXT" message notification..........

    Hand cent looks neat, but is it only SMS? I'm looking for something to handle all 3 types of messages.

    Switching between CM10 and Stock

    Just for sake of argument, say I wanted to maintain a few different ROM's. No idea if I'd even want to as I'm still 100% stock. This is just curiosity. How long does it take to do the wipe / restore procedure? Are most things kept intact (custom settings and saved games, for example), or do...

    "TEXT" message notification..........

    Recent iPhone convert myself (as of this past Monday) and my question is roughly the same. I kept 3 icons on my permanent iPhone dock. Voicemail/missed call, email, and text icons. Red badge with applicable "missed" number for each one appeared and remained in place until I listened to or read...
