HTC Stereoclip - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My wife recently bought me the stereoclip, I personally wouldn't have spent the money for it. When I pair with the device it is suppose to automatically launch the car app. But for some reason it never does. Does anyone here own one that can verify if it's just me doing something wrong? Appreciate any help!

To the best of my knowledge it works the other way around. If you dock the phone it will launch the car app which will then turn on Bluetooth and automatically pair the phone with the stereoclip as long as it's on. I believe you have to also enable that setting by tapping the notification panel on the bottom of car home when its launched.

Yes i get what your saying. But in my situation i have the dock but the connector on it broke so i cant launch the car app like that anymore. But like this video shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q34yRuHXb8 the stereoclip is suppose to be able to launch the car app as well.

I've honestly never seen that feature listed anywhere. So unless someone else chimes in perhaps it is a feature of the One S or One line. Yes I know our phone is technically a One X. But there are no options for that under the car app, Bluetooth, nor is that listed as a feature in the manual for the stereoclip. Based on your setup unless you just buy a new dock you can just select the car app anytime you enter the vehicle and the rest will be automatic. Perhaps you can also try a task app that will launch car app once it connects to a Bluetooth device.

Thanks for the help. I'll hit you up with a thanks tomorrow i already hit my limit today. When you say task app are you referring to nfc tags?

That is one option. Create an NFC tag for your car or keychain that launches the car app. Since launching the car app turns on Bluetooth and that in turn pairs with the stereoclip that is the simplest solution. The other option is an app like Tasker that can set predefined tasks that you would like upon certain conditions.

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

HTC Car Panel??

More missing apps? Has anyone noticed that it is in the "all" app list in manage apps but it is not in the app drawer? Is this a trick or am I missing something?

Only if you didn't remove Voice Recorder from hide apps section of the default.xml file.
The car panel will come up automatically when you dock the phone in the iBolt car dock. I do not know of any other way to get it to launch.

Thats a neat sales trick
You can also get an app called car mode from the play store. It'll put the phone into dock mode without having to put it on the ibolt dock.

Car Dock App

Haven't used an HTC device in a few years but picked up a DNA yesterday. One thing I was looking forward to was a chance to try the Sense car dock app which I've heard good things about. But I can't seem to find it anywhere. Am I overlooking something?

I am assuming you are talking about the app "Car". The icon is a steering wheel.

Right. But it's not on my DNA.
Wow that's weird I have it on mine.
Did you hide it via Menu>Hide Apps in the app drawer?
Once there you can uncheck it to un-hide it.
That is all I got, maybe someone else has an idea.

Most likely, you need to plug it into a car dock to activate it. The dock will trigger the app if it's installed.
I actually prefer ultra care home. Much more customizable.
Not in my app drawer either. Can see it in the settings>apps but can't activate it there.

I was going to ask that too. I don't have car app in the app drawer. But I see it in settings>apps>all. Same thing with the dock mode app. I'd love to be able to use them.
On the Rezound, for example, they're not in the apps, but if you touch search capacitive button in the bottom right corner and type "car panel" or "dock mode" you'll see the app in the results, and just touch it to start. Same with "mirror" app. But on DNA that trick doesn't seem to work.

Ok, I just tried again. You can do a search by pressing and holding the home button. Enable searching phone in the settings. Then just type an app name. It works for car, mirror, voice recorder (these apps are not in the app drawer)
You can also create shortcuts for them, for example, in ES File Explorer.
I still can't open dock mode. Is anybody smarter than me? I sure would like to use it.

I'm currently using the Nova Launcher and all those apps show up, but if I go back to the default sense one they do not.
Can you open the dock mode?
Sent from HTC Droid DNA
I emailed HTC about that and they said "We do understand your concerns with the applications not showing on the app tray. HTC is currently looking into this to determine what is occurring but we have no estimated time for a resolution to be reached."
Or when we get root it's not hard to get those apps to show in app tray

Can you try the dock mode from your launcher? Does it open?
Yup, for some reason when using Apex, or Nova Launchers they are shown just like all other apps. Very odd if you ask me?
htc has always wanted those apps to be dock specific to try and get you to buy their OEM docks.
I can also confirm that using a non oem launcher like nova and apex will get the cardock to show along with a mirror app and movie app among others. Now we need a wireless charging card dock... Lol js
You can launch the apps manually through Titanium Backup.
I can confirm both dock apps work.
Any chance someone could post a screen shot of the car dock app on the DNA?

So you can actually start the dock mode? I have no problem starting the car app through the ES File Explorer, but the dock mode won't start. That's strange. Any idea?

Car Home App

Does anyone know why my car home app won't start up when car mode does? It was always automatic on my previous devices.

But does it start automatically when Car Mode starts, or do you have to do it manually?
It did on my thunderbolt, I don't have a car dock for the note yet.

Nice. thanks
Radio is now 1.12.11.1119 and 4G is working inside my office building...no more having to go outside it seems.....
Updates to the Gallery. Now when you open it up you can pick the source
Update to the music app. Same with gallery...you can pick the source.
Update to how it handles 4G and WiFi..basically promising to turn them off when it knows it won't need them as opposed to always scanning.
Update to message app. There are more settings for personalization such as changing bubble colors and background
Low res contact fix which is common for all 4.1 I think
Color scheme change from green to blue to match JB
Pin enabled lock screen change
You can open up the maps to see where your pictures were taken
Stock browser has new look and is JB updated
Power saver
Keyboard has been changed up as well. Now can turn off arrows. Can't turn off prediction (well idk how to)
And more stuff...so far what I pointed out is just what I found to be important to me. I just now got to install this >.< I unrooted and updated.
Edit:
The HTC music app widget in the notification area now has the option to go back as well as pause and go forward
Wallpapers no longer scroll (figuring out of this is on purpose or if there's something i need to mess with)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKrJaB6OUvI&feature=youtube_gdata_player If anyone wants to see the update before us rooted people get it. Not my video just throwing that at there.

I was hoping that the ringtone and notification volumes would be separate, but they are not.
Oh well, same old work arounds...
the sound in poweramp mutes temporarily whenver I hit the power button.
Soundhound app button
The soundhound app that was built in now has an icon in the apps tray. Never did before and I had to search for it. I know there was a workaround, I just never got around to doing it.

A feature I noticed when about to go to bed...in the clock app, when setting an alarm, the minutes dial now snaps to 10 minute increments. Pretty convenient compared to the previous endless spinning behavior!
is this the new gingerbread update?
