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...

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)...

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...

Those of you experienced in Verizon smartphones, can we expect any upgrades before the next OS is released? There are lots of things that need fixed but it's been a year with no updates. If not, is there any eta on Keylime Pie>

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...

I haven't even had my smart phone for a year so I'm relatively new to the world of these hand held computers :) Installed JB a couple weeks ago. NOT a happy camper! Question: will there likely be an update(s) for this OS. Or do they just wait till the next OS version (key lime pie?) Thanks...

Since losing the stock sticky note widget(what were they thinking!?) I've downloaded Color Note from the Play Store. The FAQ says to create a widget to long press on the homescreen and choose widget. I don't have the widget option when I long press on the homescreen, only wallpaper, live...

I liked ICS default player and the lyrics it displayed. I don't see a way for lyrics to display in JB. Is it possible? Thanks

I've looked at 50 sticky note WIDGETS in the Play store. I just want one like the very simple one in ICS. I don't need corkboards, different colors, don't need it to sync, don't need multiple notes. Just a very basic sticky WIDGET. Suggestions?

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...

My Razr pairs fine with my 2011 Ford Flex and Sync reads text messages when the phone is connected via BT. Everything works as it should. Razr is running ICS. I'm wondering if anyone has upgraded to JB and had problems with Sync pairing or reading text messages. I have the 1st gen. of Sync...

I've been having this problem on my Razr (ICS) for quite some time. When typing OR voicing a Gmail email, my message will break apart or just all together disappear when I try to say or type a period (.) or other puncuation. Some of it might be totally disappear or parts of it will interject...

I've assigned a picture of myself in my phone contacts and it shows up. I can't figure out how to assign and see the same picture in a text dialog using the default text program. If I tap on the blank contact icon next to my my dialog, I get the following, "the contact does not exist". Is it...

Is there a way to select all the email messages with a "Select All" (Google acct) and do a mass delete? There's GOT to be but I've searched high and low and can't find it. It wasn't a problem till I rejoined a photography group. I went from about 10 emails a day to 100+ I'd rather not stop...

We are on an old Alltel plan that carried over to Verizon when they bought Alltel. We went out of state this last weekend and I was trying to figure out if we would be roaming. I reached ts twice. Tried 20 times but kept getting dropped or just had no service at all in the mountains. The...
