I'm currently using Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and very much enjoying the "Smart Lock" trusted unlocking feature with my paired Moto 360. I'm thinking of moving to the Note 4 and wondering whether it has a similar kind of feature built into KitKat amongst the many little changes Samsung likes to make? I know there are third-party apps to do this kind of thing but I've either found that they don't work or the corporate compliance stuff I have to run on my phone prevents them from working (but I have no problem with the Smart Lock in Lollipop).

I recently just bought a Sony 601bt touch screen head unit for my vehicle. I am very fond of this piece of technology as It has the capability to push Pandora via bluetooth. It also has MirrorLink, which allows for a smart phone to push the display onto the display, wirelessly. I own a Galaxy Note n7000 as well as a HTC One X. Is there anyway to add this functionality to either of these phones? I have the Note rooted, so I would try for that at first.
Currently limited to only the S3 I'm afraid but there are a number of members here hoping for compatibility and a couple of guys kindly looking into it when they can...

I grew accustomed to Car Home Ultra when I was on my Galaxy S3 through Straight Talk. So, I was kinda bummed when I moved to AT&T and purchased the Galaxy S5 Active and found that AT&T had their own launcher that they wanted me to use. I rooted the device and went through all the steps to get the default car mode enabled, but that too enables Samsung's car mode app. Is there any way to get Car Home Ultra to load instead when I turn on Car Mode? There doesn't seem to be a default application option. On the S3, I would open Car Mode Control and the first time it configured, it let me pick the car mode home launcher I wanted to use, so I was easily able to choose Car Home Ultra. It didn't do that on the S5, either before I rooted and modded, or after.
I was able to get it to work after some tweaking. Seems that Android 4.2+ either intentionally or through a bug disabled it. The Car Home Ultra developer implemented a patch for the app as a separate install to override the system settings. So it works for Car Home, but the issue is still present in the underlying Android code. Other apps might have similar fixes, but I'm happy with the results here.

Hi all,
I'm looking at getting my toddler an Android watch so I can see where she is based on Android Device Manager, but I would want to lock down the interface so that she can't accidentally perform any functions on the UI.
Can anyone help me out with which devices I may want to begin looking at please? Or if anyone's done similar in the past I'd be keen to hear successes and pitfalls etc.
thanks in advance!
ADM doesn't work that way for android wear. Your watch won't show on the web page with your devices. For a.w., it only makes the paired phone ring.
I don't see android wear as a good solution for you, honestly. Unless you got an urbane 2, it would only work while connected to wifi. Locking the screen can be done, but I'm not aware of an app that will work without a bt connection to the phone. Glympse doesn't work without bt connection, it seems.
Does anybody know if Wireless Android Auto is working with Essential running Pie? I've tried looking through other searches and can't find a good answer. There were a few Reddit threads about it not working with the Dev Previews, but no one answered with the full release.
Reason is, I'm thinking of getting and Essential phone for a year because the Pixel 3 did not impress me. And my Nexus 5X can't really handle wireless AA as it crashes constantly when using directions AND music. If I use one or the other it's just fine though.
Well, I got an official response from Essential, and they said Wireless Android Auto is still not supported in Android Pie. Look like Google is holding this feature hostage, and only allowing it on the Pixel/Nexus line.
What are you currently using as a head unit that supports wireless AA?
Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
BTW, here is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l&rdid=com.medtronic.diabetes.guardianconnect
