[Q] Disable car home launch with car dock - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to keep the car dock from automatically launching car mode? The audio drops down and drives me nuts. I'm using CM7 rc1.2.

Can't you just freeze car app with titanium backup?

I'll try doing that. I was hoping to not render the car mode completely useless. I just don't want it to launch automatically. Cause when it does it lowers the media volume quite a bit, and makes it where you can't control the volume with the volume rocker on the phone.

Neither freezing nor uninstalling the car home app keeps the volume from dropping. Bummer.

[Q] Desk dock and car dock mode without using...

Is there a way to launch desk dock and car dock apps without d/l launcher pro or something else similar... I'm searching for a work around when the phone is plugged in USB.
You could try with tasker. For Example, the phone is in landscape mode AND the screen is locked (usually for phones used in cars) THEN start car mode?

Download anycut from the market and you can add a shortcut on your home screen for each one.
Why can't he add a Shortcut the normal way? Or what's so special about anycut?

because there's no shortcut for "Desk Home" (dock mode). It's only launched when you put the phone in a dock; using Any Cut will allow you to launch this mode with a simple shortcut.
This is exactly what I wanted!!!! Thanks!

I used this app (Widgetsoid2.x)... Worked out great:

You could just use the preinstalled Vlingo for a car dock application without using the car dock. It has an "InCar" mode

Sound volume

Is there a way to link the ringtone and notification volumes? Or is there an easier way to adjust notification without hunting through settings each time? With cm7 these two were linked in fact I think it its line that in an aosp ROM.

Not to thread jack, but in a related issue...
When I play pandora and output to a set of external speakers via the headphone jack, I must turn the media volume level all the way up for the speakers to play at a reasonable level...
After awhile, the volume just decreases... I try pressing the volume UP key but there is a message that says something to the effect of "playing at high volume for extended time can damage hearing." Is there a way to disable the message and volume attenuation that occurs from playing media files at highest volume for extended time... I searched through the settings and googled this but nothing comes up...

Looking for a solution to this too... I wasn't sure if this was an option stock or not, I guess not. I'm running unnamed and was going to suggest it to gtg, once I get enough posts to post in that forum
You can long press on your home screen and add shortcut, settings, then sounds.
It's not exactly a no effort way, but it will make adjusting the volume quicker.

Haven't run into that problem myself. But there are a few apps on the market that can boost audio volume to your headphone Jack.

Download the app called "quick settings" it allows you to link them in its volume control section of the app. That's how I link them.

Thanks, I might check that out, although I'd prefer not to have an app to do this.

Voice search opening by itself

When I use Google Music and my oldschool cassette tape adapter in my car the music keeps stopping and voice search pops up.. It seams like the phone think the tape adapter is a headphone and it's triggering voice input.. I have a completely stock phone, not rooted.
Anybody have any suggestions... Except for getting a new car...
Thanks

On second look its actually opening up my voice dialer automatically.. And I can't find how to get to the options for that.. I'm sure there is a way I can turn that off

Dock Audio Volume & Remote

Quick search delivered no results.
When docked, I have no control of the volume of my audio with the remote. Its either full or muted.
I'm on The Bill's Liquid Jellybean ROM and am happy to try an app, tasker setting or hack.
Any ideas?

Earbud music controls(iphone only?)

Just purchased from woot. Great sound quality by the way.

Unfortunately only the voice control button works. Phone does not respond to volume control or track seek. Is this an iphone only feature or is there a hack out there somewhere? I am a fiber optics tech so my hands are usually busy. Its a pain digging the phone out everytime i want to change a track or adjust the volume.

The app "headset button controller" will cure that problem.

Was hoping to utilize the extra two buttons but this will get me started. Thanks!
