Hello all, im hope i correctly chose forum.
I have a small but annoying problem: my RAZR dont detect orignal Car Dock., without this not working audio-by-microusb cable (original cardock cool feature). I test two other razrs and two other cardocks, and have trouble only with my phone.
I tried flash by rsdlite stock flash, i tried three modded ROMs, and no effect. Phone not detect dock, for example my razr with cm10 have in settings panel "dock settings" item, where show status of dock connecting. My razr never show "connected", razr of my girlfriend show it always.In MIUI - razr of my friend working normally, my razr didn't work.
One time my phone is dead even on charge, when i used navigation and music simultaneously. I think its hardware problem in charge controller, but i dont know how check it out.
Is any method to software force REAL carmode? Utilities like "Car Mode Control" only start car-shell, and in "dock settings" phone displayed as not connected with car dock.
U can make direct acces to the function.
On Nova Launcher is the third option when u hold finger on launcher then the second one.

Activities i tried also, and this is like CardockControl app - only launch carmode shell, in dock settings nothing changed (still "not connected") and no microusb audio too. In CM10 (by dtrail) this activities not present at all.
EDIT: there is few threads on my problem founded: 1 and 2. But no working solution =(
If you're still looking for this I found an app called Car Mode Control where just enables car mode, not a dock shell, it will actually on load a shell if you already have one built into your phone. my problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get out of car mode and had to reboot the phone to get out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.carmode
Car mode i can enable with many programs (i use InDrive now), but this not enable cardock mode. I wand use feature of original car mount - audio over microusb.
The link I posted should enable your audio over microusb, It's not a car dock app, it switches on your phones own car mode.
No, it dont. Phone not really switch "cardock" mode, like it do it in real car mount. Simple, only car mode (change launcher to "car shell" if installed).
Sorry to hear that. It worked on my phone except that i couldn't get it out of car mode.

OK guys I just want to share an app that I've been using since the nexus one but missed it with my amaze which is a good car dock app. HTC has Car Panel which is nice but not as good as Google's Car Home which you can customize.

Google Car Home
To install Google Car Home you will need to install HTC Car Panel too because for some reason Google Car Home doesn't install an icon for sense roms.
This is where Car Panel comes in, when you open the app drawer select Car Panel select Car Home.
One of the things I like about Google Car Home is the fact that it can automatically open the app once it sees that you are connected to your cars bluetooth and disables it once you disconnect.
The only thing that doesn't work is when you go to settings and select Android Setting it will force close(probably cause of sense)
Enjoy!
EDIT: Oh sorry I just saw that they are 2 different apps. NVM
what is the difference in the 2 attached files? I do see one file is bigger than the other in kb size.

P.s. FOOTPRINTS WILL NOT work, because we do not have that app on our phone...I see no benefit to using HTC car panel, I use car home, in conjunction with vlingo car mode.....flawless...I just wish vlingo car would start up on its on when I plug it into my car charger but its in beta for now...If I could I would use vlingo car for everything...I has everything I need.

Hey thanks for sharing this man, I for one, and surely others will check this out - don't understand some folks - what can I say, some do not read anything -
and then others........... ??????
I am using car home ultra it is by far the BEST!!! CHECK IT OUT. They have 30 day free trial.
Sent from something AMAZING!!!!
doh, i been looking for this ever since i picked up one of those car kits tmobile is sellin (very nice looking, albeit fragile, contraption btw, i highly recommend)
do either of these autostart when the phone gets plugged in do they?
regardless, thanks for sharing =)
A few questions...
Anyone use the stock photo album widget? I have one on one of my screens for when my phone is in its dock at work. It works fine when it is in the dock bc It's charging, and I have it set to keep the screen on when charging. However, when it is out of the dock, and the screen goes off, when I turn it back on, the most recent image is all it shows and it will not go into rotation. I have to open it back up and say "OK" to my selected pictures to get it working again. I don't have any battery saving or task killing aps, so I know I don't accidentally have it set to auto end on screen off. All I have is the stock Samsung Task Manager.
Know of any fixes for this? Maybe try another widget like it on the market?
Also, I came from an Atrix and they had a task manager that I just simply loved. It was smooth and simple and I could add what I wanted to an auto end list. As far as I know, Samsungs T.M. doesn't allow this, and all the apps I find on the market do more than I want it to. I don't want something like Juice defender or what not. Just something simple that allows me to put stuff in an auto end list when screen goes blank. Does stock Samsung T.S. do this and I am just not seeing it? Any 3rd party apps you suggest for this function?
Last thing... Know of any widgets that ACCURATELY show info like CPU speed and temp that is transparent? I like a very materialistic look and I am not liking the black background of the Antutu widgets.
Something that would look good with this...

Couple of quick questions. Is there a way to make my phone stop searching for wifi. I turn it off then look at my phone and it tells me there is open wifi. I never use wifi so I have no need for this. Also is there a fix for the car dock not charging while using gps

Anyone have a fix for these

You on ICS or GB? Go to settings>wifi>hit menu capacitive button>advanced>check never auto turn on Wifi. That should take care of it. On the same menu at the top there's the option to notify you if there is wifi when launching apps. You can uncheck it too.
If you're talking about the iBolt car dock sold through Verizon, Google for their (iBolt's) web site, and leave a message explaining the problem, including your address. They'll exchange for a new dock which charges properly.

Does that only work in ICS??
I would like to eliminate WiFi turning on by itself myself as a I NEVER use it, but I don't seem to have those settings in GB.
I occasionally swap to an earlier version of the kernel I'm running as I know it breaks WiFi, but there has to be an easier way to do it than that...............

I was thinking that those settings were in GB as well. I can't remember for sure because I've been on ICS for a good bit. I know the advanced menu is there. Just not sure what all was on it.

Yea I'm looking at that exact same screen in GB, except that one line isn't there.
It goes right from best Wi-Fi performance to Wi-FI proxy, that additional line your SS shows isn't there in GB.
Is there something in the Sleep Policy, or perhaps the main Wi-Fi screen (not Advanced). I remember having that option somewhere.
Might it be in the Power settings?
Open up the regular Dock program, go into the settings and disable the automatically turn on wifi setting. Even though it's only in there, it also turns it on when you use the car dock.

Anyone? I'm thinking of ordering this. I've never tried any car dock yet but I've been meaning to.
Any other recommendations?

There's another one by iBolt that looks good, but it doesn't have audio out through the usb port. I don't know if the case duo has audio out, if I have to, I will use the headphone jack. I have a mount for my droid3 and it's awesome. The droid3 mount doesn't even have to be plugged in, it just sits on the plug. I ordered the case duo, I'll report back.
I got the case duo yesterday. It's sturdy, supports the phone well on my windsheild and dash. The case duo does not launch carmode automatically qnd does not have an audio out through the mini usb port. I think the iBolt would've been better. The iBolt will automatically launch carmode an it's probably adjustable to fit another phone. The case duo is specifically designed to fit the DNA so there's no chance of fitting another phone without serious modification.
Thanks for the info!

You could use NFC tags to launch your car into car mode turn on bluetooth and turn up screen brightness and such. I plan on insetting this case and that is what i plan doing with it. thank you for review. The app i am using to run those task is NFC task launcher
I use tasker to do things when bluetooth is on. I have th app from ig88 called car mode that automatically launches carmode. I also use cardock home from ig88, because it has live wallpaper, widget support an I can see music visualizers on it. They have a speedometer widget and shortcuts to play and stop music. When car dock home launches it turns on bluetooth, so my torque app connects, auto brightness off, brightness to 255, vol up, hotspot on(for kids and their nexus), and netron music app starts playing. I tried NFC, but it was too much to tap it again to undo everything, tasker works better for me.
Dear Folks!
There is an annoing problem where I need your experience!
I use CM10.1. Some time after fresh flashing, this issue comes over and over again.
When I plug my phone to charge, car dock icon appears in the notification bar.
(I don't have car dock, phone has never sit in car dock candle!)
This icon shows and hides randomly and my phone reboots sometimes.
I don't know why is it happening.
I don't have car dock. I use only a simple USB cable with adaptor.
I tried many roms before, and other cable too, doesn't work.
Please help me, if you can!
* Edit 1 *
I mentioned this icon as "car dock" but it's name is "car home".
* Edit 2 *
Last night I have experienced this issue I found the only way to charge my phone. This method very simple. Restart S3 to recovery mode (TWRP). In recovery mode, phone will charge without problems (w/o reboot and freeze). Morning I disconnected my phone, restarted - afterwards I haven't got this charging problem again! I'm testing now.
Other forum says, you just have to clean microUSB socket. My phone was clear, but it could be a solution too.
Can you just post it one screenshot with this "car dock icon" ? TY

This is exactly what I want to do. But this issue not comes over since morning. I try to rebbot and plug the device on charger and USB cables. I don't know why, but it is now stable. I must wait until it comes over again. I am ready for it, installed screenshot app and logcat.
I just found an external image where you can see that icon too. That is the third icon on the screenshot.
