[Q] Car Dock question

Does anyone know if the captivate will launch automatically into "car mode" when attached to the OEM car dock? (or launch the desk home app when placed in the desk dock?)
I know the motorola droid launches this "mode" based on some sort of magnet in the dock--was curious if the captivate has this feature as well.

My guess is that it'd have to be launched for desktop dock because you download the app seperate and so if it had any kind of sensor for the desktop dock it should already have the apparently installed. I could be wrong but that is what I'm thinking. I'm guessing it'd be the same way for the car dock but again I could be wrong. Hope this helps.

If it does not do this automatically you may still have some options.
I am a big fan of Tasker now that I have been using it for a few weeks. You could use Tasker to launch the cardock app or change profiles when it detects specific criteria. For example it could be triggered by BT connectio/pairing or when you plug it into the dock. You could even set it to launch when gps detects a certain speed for a sustained period. The options are rather vast.
I'm not trying promote Tasker but, I have found it very useful for automated actions and profile scheduling.

Appreciate the reply. Yet another use for Tasker. Too bad it doesn't happen automagically like some other android phones though.

There are two Samsung apps in the market that might do what you are looking for, if Samsung ever decides to actually sell the freaking docks.
Search the market for Captivate.

Creative uses for NFC tags

I figure we should start a thread of all the creative things that you guys are doing with your NFC tags. You should list what you are using them for and what apps you are using to make them work.

A simple bedtime tag...sets volume to 40%, turns on Night Clock app.

I made a tag for use with Tasker profile to punch in and out of work, then it adds it to my google calendar when I punch out. Better than my previous solution: post-its.

this is still a WIP but i wanted to make a tag where it would turn on the app for the griffin wifi to ir bridge and send a command to turn on my tv,amp,xbox all over ir
should be easy im just waiting for the griffin bridge and the nfc tag...

Wish I could use NFC to unlock my door or pay my subway fare.

there are ir auto door locks where you can open your door with a ir remote like a car remote... so what you do is you get a wifi to ir griffin box and you setup a nfc tag outside of your house and there you go lol...

I've used NFC Tag Launcher to turn the POS Verizon car dock into something better: Launch Car Home, disable wifi, enable bluetooth, adjust ring, notification, and media volumes, and then to play a clip of Jim Gaffigan screaming "BAAAACOOOON!" to let me know everything has been set. I've still got a handful tags, so I'm looking forward to finding something new with them.

Is there a way to have a tag be a toggle? I'd like my nightstand tag to put my phone into night mode when i tap it at night, and then put it back into day mode when I tap it a second time in the morning.

What tags is everyone buying? And from where?

Things that need to be said about the HTC One X.

Hi everyone.
I´m comming from a HTC HD2 with "Energy Rom" (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5), now i got my HTC One X for six days (and yesterday rooting and changing to Rom "Android Revolution HD 5.2.0").
After last six days of testing, it is still an amazing device, but there are lots of bad things that have to be said about the HOX:
1) --> The HOX is not smooth!
The HOX has the most powerful CPU on earth, but still it is not able to run realy smoot. Compared to the iPhone, the home screen doesn't rotate realy smoot, the app-drawer matrix doesn't scroll smooth, and worst of all the scrolling through Pictures lags.
2) --> The HOX is not that intuitive as it should be.
First example - the music player:
When you click on music-player, then first button "my phone" (in german "Eigenes Telefon"), you can click on top the pull-down-menu to change to "genres". Now you click on "Rap" and want to choose the Artist --> but there is no artist! Not even the artists name is mentioned. You only can choose the album-name.
When you pump up 20 Gbyte music, it is not realy possible to easily choose the song you whant to hear.
Second example - the ringtone:
Nomaly you choose the ringtone in "settings --> sound". But e.g. the sms tone must be changed in "sms --> menu --> settings --> notification --> notification ringtone".
Why so complicated?
3) --> The USB Connection to the internal storage is slow.
On my HTC HD2 i used a Class 10 SD-Card. Writing movies or navigation-maps on it, after taking the card out of the device, had a writing speed at about 10 MB/s.
When i read about the internal storage, i thought it is at least as fast as a good SD-Card. But when i connect my HOX via USB i get max. 5 - 6 MB/s.
4) --> The HTC car app does not launch with connecting a bluetooth-device.
With Sense 3.5 you can set the "old" HTC car app to launch when a bluetooth-device connects - this means: every bluetooth-device! So when starting the engine, my car-radio connects to the HTC, the old app starts immediatly.
The new HTC car app looks realy great, but it doesn't start when the radio connects.
And as if this were not enough: the new car app can not rotate to portrait-mode.
Why?
5) --> Lockscreen-Links can not be defined independently.
With Sense 3.5 the lockscreen-app-links can be set as you whant.
With Sense 4 the links can not been changed. They are the same as the links in the dock bar.
Why?
6) --> Homescreen can not rotate around.
I find it realy disturbing that the homescreen can not scroll over from far right to far left.
So guys, I hope you comment these things or give hints or tips.
Best regards,
Nem.

I agree with 1,3,5 and 6
Hopefully they all can be fixed with a software update

Depends on which ROM you're running I guess. The home screen doesn't rotate by default in sense so...
In the end I've never had a lagless computer, but the One X is snappy enough for me...

This is something I don't like either. Honestly, when I bought the phone a pulled a bone head move and hadn't realized there was no SD card... just before paying I realized, and figured I'd give it a go... consider the battery life and lack of micro SD AND USB OTG, I'm a bit miffed about my decision, but still happy enough to stick with it for a while. After all, the Galaxy S3 isn't out yet and ugly as hell.

This seems like an issue with HTC Sense, more than the One X. You might try some non stock apps... if you want a ready made package, you should probably just get an apple product... This is probable something which could be solved by reporting to the proper developers, or by getting the right apps installed on your device.

Realize, this isn't a support forum, but a hobbyist developer forum. If you want Support, go to the developer of the product you want. If you want help, this is the place.

As for the quick links, i believe they did what most people would do assume the "quick links" you have on your home screen and the ones your most likely to use.
also my phone has always been smooth as butter even on stock ROM.

You can change the quick link by changing the dock icon

1. Pretty smooth with me, and this will improve. It's a brand new phone, and htc's always seem to be like this early on.
2. For me it's logical. If I want to change my sms alert, I would go into sms settings. I don't really changed my alerts, but that's the way I'd do it.
With the music app, I use Google music which is easy for finding what you want to listen to. I usually use playlists, and I never use genres, as I listen to what I would class as hard rock. Depending on the band its genre could be classed as anything from rock to metal to punk to progressive rock to grunge to alt rock and another 10 or so permutations
3. Transfer could definitely be faster, but I don't do that much transfering so it's not a huge deal for me. I would transfer across the odd movie or rom, and it doesn't take long.
4. Don't use the car app.
5. I guess they just used the logic that the programs on your dock bar would be the ones you access most often. It makes sense to me, but it wouldn't be too much effort for them to give people the choice.
6. Homescreen rotates on custom ROM, guess it was only designed to be used when the phone is docked? If you mean the carousel effect, this was ditched for sense 4.0. Guess it's part of slimming sense down. As always, some people love it, others want it how it was.
You've got valid points, but some of them are just getting used the slightly different way of doing things.

The Sense launcher is laggy, just slap an Apex launcher over it and you re golden.

After tweaking I transfer big files with 15mb/sec. But with stock it was 4-6.

The music problem is easy fixed by using Mixzing or PowerAMP.

This also applies to the Locations built in mapping software sadly (no portrait mode).
I'm guessing they are trying to push it along with their car dock as a 'package', which holds the phone in landscape mode, but I don't want to pay out on a dock that will likely not fit my next phone, even if it is an HTC. I have a perfectly good universal holder securely fitted in my van which will fit any phone I own thanks.
Not sure how many if any ever used the paid Locations App, but it is handy to have the maps on phone if you have no data connection.
Fortunately, CoPilot now offers a freemium option that lets you download the maps and only pay if you want turn by turn.
I think HTC has tried to simplify Sense because of previous criticisms from 'reviewers' and have probably gone too far the opposite way.
Several of the things like carousel, dock icons, etc. they could have made simple to start with, then added the option to tweak it in the settings. Maybe they will go back the other way in a later version, or modders on here will work out how to do it for them, as usual.
Although I've always used other launchers in the past, I quite like the Sense 4 launcher, mainly because of some of the widgets. However, I will NEVER understand why they went with a 4 x 4 grid on such a massive screen - its such a waste of space.
The only reasoning I can think is that they wanted it to be the same across the whole One series, including the One V, but that's really not a good enough reason to limit your flagship device HTC!

Mine is and I have 80 some apps loaded on it. The only stutter I've noticed is in the secondary weather animations. Read this. It's a Google engineer explaining how Android renders graphics. Power can't overcome some of the limitations she describes. The answer to an iPhone comparison can only be "perhaps you should have gotten an iPhone?" The One X is smoother than any of the six modern (as opposed to a hacked three year old Windows phone running Android) phones I’ve owned in the past two years.

This is my first time using Sense since it was called Manila. I've used Samsung devices prior to the One X. I find the work HTC's done in Sense 4.0 to be pretty amazing. Like rejecting a call with a message automatically adds a task to return the call to your calendar so it’s available at your desk. To me, it's probably the most intuitive and well thought out interface available on an Android phone. Again, if you want intuitive, get an iPhone. Samsung and Motorola's devices are less, not more intuitive.

No, it doesn't. But when docked a cleaner easier to use replacement's provided.
So far these are the things that I've found that I'd like changed and I think they'd impact more people and are more material than the home screen not rotating.
1) No ICS Native Voice Dialer - HTC left it out and all the ICS compatible APK's I’ve found crash. Vlingo is the only way to initiate voice calls over BT and it's far from a clean solution.
2) No LinkedIn Connector for Sense - It worked on earlier versions of Sense but not 4.0. It's a pretty big omission for people that use their phone for business.
3) No Resizing of HTML E-Mail - The stock mail app should be able to allow pinch-to-zoom to adjust the size of HTML e-mail. As it is, you have to scroll.
There’s a lot of niggly things that I’d prefer be implement differently but I’d never post them on a forum because what’s important to me may not be important to others. We each use our phones differently. One device, no matter who makes it, is going to please everyone equally.

Google maps also offers map cacheing, and the http://www.openstreetmap.org/ project has a number of compatible apps which allow offline maps - but the cache is the quality of the map depends on the mapping community in your area... they're usually not so bad

Thx 2 all!
Hi everybody,
thanks a lot to all of you for your postings.
I just wanted to start the discussion, because when you read tests or comments about the HOX, then you most read something about the "first impressions". Magazines, blogs etc. often compare the HOX with the most popular smartphone: the iPhone. Then you may also read something about "THE IPHONE KILLER". I hate phrases like this! Why do I have to kill something that is behind me ?
I just wanted to say, that even the HOX has potential to get better - and thats why I installed the ARHD-ROM
I just wanted to post my opinion to the HOX as objectively as i can be. Don´t missundersand me: for me, today the HOX is the best phone on earth. Never wanted to have an iPhone. I just waited for the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and on the same Day I decided to buy the HOX.

1- The famous problem with Rosie.apk and the layered widgets, the OnDemand governor of the one X doesn't Ramp CPUs speed to full unless pushed hard and so in the launcher the CPUs are not to blame, neither the GPU since its linked to CPU clocks, the launcher is simply running at low clocks plus heavy layering in the widgets and hence the stutter, solution to this is actually optimizing the sense launcher and this is where ultra rosie mod fixes it
Topic on the issue, please vote since im already in contact with HTC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649819
6- well its a Sense 4 simplification decision and i quit like it, you either get scrolling wallpaper or frozen wallpaper plus loop, both are actually easy control if you hack rosie.apk

The whole point of having a htc phone is to enjoy using htc widgets, isn't?

Sony Ericsson LiveView

well just ordered myself Sony Ericsson LiveView to use with the note (and S3 maybe)

Not really a tip as such but I have found mine losses connection between Note and watch if I dont keep checking it or getting incomong data eg texts etc.

Yeh because of the connection loss I decided not to get this tell us how you get on it still looks like fun

I bought sony smartwatch, It works really good and no connnection loss.
I read some time ago that there is an app that keeps check connection with liveView and keeps it connected...

any chance you can find the name?
the reason i got the lifeview is because it was way cheaper then anything like it so... why not play with it abit

Just downloaded the "charm" as the app calls it. Will test it out at work tomorrow.

Quick update. Yes this downloaded "charm" worked a treat. No disconnection all day and i have not noticed any difference in battery usage.

Well gave in an ordered it lol main worry was battery and connectivity, had a quick look some good apps if they do what they say. calc for 1 will save me getting my phone out everything I need to work out how much stuff Im putting away.

The main add on i use is the music player one. It allows you to change the tracks playing on thephone whilst keeping it in your pocket. Also shows you the cover art etc which is nifty. I didnt bother setting up twitter or facebook apps but having seen vids of them they seem to work well.
About the calculator app I am not sure how well that will work as the screen is fairly small so can imagine it very easy for anything too complex ie that you cant work out in your own head.

Well this came today and first impressions the pre loaded music app works fine just shows the name of song and artists. Have not tried facebook or twitter might later the one thing I dont like is that when on wrist the watch face and icons are facing wrong way (fingers to arm where on a watch its top of wrist to bottom lol hard to explain).
Also cant get it to see any plugins they are in the liveware manager but when I go to liveview manage plugins there is nothing there

What wrist do you wear this on? I wear on my left hand side and icons are correct way round etc. Check on the application manager you have told it what tiles to display on the watch face.

Just got mine in the mail, charging
One thing I must say, it came with the fixed watch back.... But with one problem, it's hard as hell to remove it
So... What apps do I need for it after I update it?
Sent from N7000

got my liveview ..updated software...installed liveviewcharm to stop disconnects
But no plugins are showing as installed on phone plus when I go to add plugin it says all plugins already assigned. what am I doing wrong ?
EDIT
Google is my Friend

If anyone wants to know how to get #LiveView Plugins working with #ICS here is a small howto:
1) Install ADW Launcher
2) Open ADW Launcher, longpress on the homescreen and create a "Custom Shortcut"
3) when selecting the shortcut target select "Activity"
4) Search the Plugin within the list and select the "****Preference" subnode
5) Press OK
6) Click on the new shortcut so that the preferences of the plugin will open
7) check the "Enabled" checkbox of the plugin
8) you are done the plugin should work now... but you need to restart LiveView-App to see them!
works well with all plugins I've tested for now ;-)

Automatic theme changer/switcher

When my phone is inserted into its car dock I'd like for it to automatically switch to a theme that resembles my cars dash and information system. Has anyone seen anything like this? Or any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

There is one app that kinda sorta attempts this (NFCar Car Dock) but it's not a very good app and I personally wouldn't recommend it.
you could create your own "car dock" look using the Scene function of Tasker. It could then be triggered by an NFC Tag on your car dock. But I don't think you're looking for that. Sounds to me like you'd like to completely switch your home launcher app to a different style/theme specific for being in the car. I don't know of anything that will easily do that for you, though if you're rooted then I'm sure it's possible somehow though probably not without a lot of work.
