My Android phone isconnected, my app(s) arerunning, I restarted them,but I still cannot find anyapps.
Unplug the USB cable from the phone, wait a moment, and plug theUSB cable back in to the phone. After a few seconds, the app shouldappear in SYNC 3's Mobile Apps Menu. If not, "Force Close" theapplication and restart it.

I have an Android phone. Ifound and started mymedia app on SYNC 3, butthere is no sound or thesound is very low.
Force close or uninstall the apps you do not want SYNC 3 to find. Ifthe app has a "Ford SYNC" setting, disable that setting in the app'ssettings menu on the phone.
Some Android devices have a limitednumber of Bluetooth ports that apps canuse to connect. If you have more AppLinkapps on your phone than the number ofavailable Bluetooth ports, you will not seeall of your apps listed in the SYNC 3mobile apps menu.
