I have a 2014 Ford Focus with Sync with MyFord (not MyFord Touch). It support Applink that lets you connect phone applications to the car AV system. Unfortunately when I try to use applink on the car with my phone it says the phone isn't compatible. If you go to Ford's compatibility site here. It lists the LG Nexus 5 (D820) as "This device many not be compatible with SYNC AppLink". Now the weird thing is which phones are and aren't listed as compatible with AppLink:
Nexus 4: No
Nexus 5x: Yes (but no bluetooth audio)
Nexus 6: Yes
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337): No
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545): YES
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-L720 with firmware L720VPUAMDL): No
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-L720 with firmware L720VPUGOD2): Yes
Samsung Galaxy S5: No
Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: Yes
Does anyone know what separates the phones than do and don't support Applink? Any ideas if there is a hack to get AppLink working on the Nexus 5?
Thanks

I'm getting ready to upgrade from my iPhone 3GS, with the Samsung Galaxy S2 being at the top of my list. One reason for my choice is the OTG support on this phone, however, one of the Apps I intend to use (DSLR Controller) reports that the OTG is disabled in newer firmware. Anyone here know if this is the case with the S2 from AT&T, or have any more information about this issue?
Hi,
I have a galaxy s2 which can be connected to my TV through HDMI and I already have a cable for it. It works perfectly. I want to play my videos/pictures on galaxy s3 / nexus 7 that my family owns on the TV through the galaxy s2. How can I do it?
If your s3 and nexus 7 have mini HDMI ports on them, then you can just use a cable for the video.

Hi All,
I recently just purchased a Samsung Tab S2 SM-T715Y(which I had sold off my Samsung TAB S 8.4 LTE SMT-705).
Now I can't Connect or pair my samsung Gear 2 (with camera) with my Samsung Tab S2. I did tried few versions of samsung gear apk, but however they all doesnt work.
The error message just keep popping up " Check if your phone is compatible and if the Samsung Gear app needs to be updated. Then try again."
Please Help!! I sign up this forum and I would hope anyone who knows what to do.. Please please let me know!
Regards.
Hi
Same deal here with a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (TM705). Tried the newest Samsung Gear Manager from the Galaxy Apps. The Samsung Gear installs fine but when I want to pair with the newly factory reset Gear S2 it says after a while that the device would be incompatible. The Gear S2 says "Setting up... " after accepting the bluetooth passkey. It works fine with a Samsung S5 Mini though. Both devices are on Android 5.0.4. I also tried changing the build.prop as described in different forums to get different phones to connect to former Gears but it did not help. Is there a trick to solve this?
Thanks
Can't pair my gear 2 to the tab S2 T719 either.... what steps are necessary?
I have a Galaxy S5 paired and working with my Gear S2. I just picked up a new Galaxy S7. How do you switch between devices with the Gear S2. I don't want to lose any of the settings on the Gear S2, I just want my Galaxy S5 to stop using it and my new Galaxy S7 to be the master.
I don't suppose there's a way to be able to swap between devices?
Hi All,
I have been using Nexus 5 for a while now, got my old Samsung Galaxy s3 as well. I am using nexus 5 for personal use and s3 for official use. Is there a way I could use any app similar to LG Qpair (which forwards calls from phone to tab etc) which can forward calls and messages from s3 to n5?
