    Audio output to car aux - too quiet

    I have a 2011 Jeep with a mini-plug aux input on the stereo. I plug my phone into this to play music, but to get normal volume I have to crank the volume up pretty high. It can get it loud, but then if I switch to FM or something later, it about blows me out of the car. I'm not sure if these...

    Help Set up old phone for kid?

    What's the best/easiest way to set up an old Droid X (android 2.3.4) for a kid to play games on? This old android version does not appear to support multiple accounts or anything like that. The only other thing I can think of is to make a new google account. I'm not super concerned about...

    Help Confused about calendar sync

    I have my android phone hooked in to both google infrastructure and an exchange server at work. It mostly works in that I can see stuff from both google calendar and work using the calendar on my phone. The thing is, when I add something to the calendar on my phone, it pushes up to my work...

    Alarm clock on jelly bean

    I recently got a Nexus 7 and its my first time with jelly bean. I have an old Droid X also. Is it just me or did the built in alarm clock app get worse? The fade in feature seems to be gone and there are just a few alarm sound options, all of which sound like the phone is ringing (they are...

    Time lapse app for Droid X

    Anyone know of one that can disable the shutter sound? Having it make that noise every 10 seconds is a killer. I'd really like to do a time lapse of us sleeping at night, so the shutter sound needs to go and the screen saver should work.

    Offline maps

    I know this has been asked a lot, but the most recent thread is 4 months old. Is there any good way to get offline satellite imagery, in a controlled way? I know I can sit there on google maps and try to preview every spot I'll want to see later at every zoom level, but that's kind of lame...

    Quick upload to picasa

    I'm trying to set up so my camera/gallery can "quick upload" to picasa. Thing is, when I select picasa it asks me to log in and it simply will not accept my login. I'm sitting right in front of my laptop where I logged in 2 seconds previously using the same username and password, but it just...

    A-GPS vs. Google Location Services?

    Can someone (without guessing) explain the distinction? I thought that A-GPS was side information given to the GPS to help it acquire more quickly, so cell tower info and/or wifi locations. I was having trouble with my Droid X GPS acquiring at all and someone on another forum said there is...

    Share android calendar

    Is there a way to share my android calendar with my wife so she can see all my appointments, not just the ones in my google calendar? My android calendar is a combination of my google calendar and my corporate sync. My wife has an android phone as well, and uses google calendar.

    Help What does safe mode actually do?

    I'm on my third DX now. The first one worked fine except that the GPS died. The second one was rebooting itself about every 10 minutes. This third one reboots itself about 5 times a day. I called tech support to find out if I should get another replacement or if it was somehow possible that...

    Sync ALL Android contacts to gmail?

    Is there a way to push all the contacts my Android found up to gmail? I hardly use Facebook but the Android grabbed a lot of useful contact information from there which I'd love to have in my gmail contacts. Can it be done? I don't have THAT many, so if it could be done semi-manually (short...

    Gmail messages not deleting all the way

    Sometimes when I delete a message on my Droid from Gmail, if I look on the computer at Gmail, the title of the message is still there, but if I click on it it says that it contains deleted messages. In other words, the body of the messages is gone but not the title. What am I doing wrong?
