    MAP (Message Access Protocol)

    Back in the fall of 2012, I updated my Razr to Jelly Bean. Because it wasn't written with the MAP feature, it killed the ability for my Ford car to announce an incoming text message and read it for me. Does anyone know if KitKat has MAP? And is it phone specific. I'm due for an upgrade in a...

    Encrypting Micro SD card

    Can some tell me if it's possible to encrypt only the micro SD card in my GN 2014 Edition? The way the on screen directions read it's possible to encrypt just the card, not the whole device, which I dont' want to do. I've gotten all the way to the point of encryption (which takes over an hour)...

    Help "Take me Home" Button for GPS

    I don't have the need to depend on my phone for directions. If my in-car navigation system doesn't have the address, I can download it to the car from Google Maps. But, I have a friend that is struggling with her S4 and the GPS. She gets a message to enable wifi for more accurate...

    Help Need An App That Allows Access to ONLY Certain Apps

    I have a couple of grandchildren (4&6) that are probably more smart phone savvy than myself and I don't mind them playing games on my phone but I would like an app that I can dictate what applications or parts of the phone the children have access to. IOW, an app I can program to only let games...

    Home Computer Query Like Droid Google Voice??

    It seems like we should be able to use our home PCs like we use our phones to query Google (in Jelly Bean). With a mic, why can't I ask Google questions verbally or can I? Thanks

    Help Fox-Fi/PdaNet+

    Just a simple yes or no answer (I'm hoping). Unfortunately I let JB install OTA last week. Now I can't get my Ford's Sync system to read text messages but that's another story. Question: Using JB, will the app PdaNet+ (FoxFi) KEY ($7.95) work like FoxFi did in ICS? Free wifi hotspot from my...

    Help Lost Keypad Sound in ICS Phone Dialer

    Dial pad touch tone is ticked under System Settings. I just chose "touch sounds" to see if that would help. I did not. If Touch Sounds is ticked, shouldn't a tone sound throughout the phone? If so, that's not working either. And yes, the phone has been rebooted (turned on and off) several...

    Soon after I bought my first smartphone (Droid Razr) I installed the Swiftkey app. I'm new to texting so a lot of mistakes were common :) After a couple of months I'm thinking it might not be so much me as the keyboard. So, I went back to the ICS stock keyboard and I'll be darned if I'm not...
