    Thread PS4 Remote Play for Android - Controllers?

    Today I just found out PS4 Remote Play can be run on Android devices. Dream come true. Im under the impression this rolled out a bit ago, but I havent been able to play PS4, so I didnt know about the port to Android. Anyway, I ran into a pretty obvious issue that I can't seem to find any answers...

    Thread Android Pie - Notifications only come through Bluetooth device

    Noticed with the Pie update, that if you're using a bluetooth device, the notifications only come through that. No longer comes through phone as well. I need my earbuds to be paired and connected for most the time, but cannot have them in ears at all times. I only noticed after my wife called me...

    First off, thank you for your feedback and your time. Idk if thats the issue in this case. My other two PCs have no problem reading it via USB 3.0 But lets say the USB 3.0 havok IS the issue here. Does the USB 3.0 havok apply to USB-C to USB-C? My ZBook (the one having issues) has two USB-C...

    Post Substitute for AndroidAuto - And 2018 Honda Accord EX with Hondalink

    Thanks :) I'll look into those. Presently, I just stuck a phone mount on the dash and keep everything Bluetooth. Its only taking advantage of probably 5% of the Honda-link infotainment consoles potential, and yet it's still 20x better than battling with Android Autos ridiculous limitations. Sad :\
