Does anyone use telenav 7.1 on the eco in Landscape mode? I tried using it but you can only see a little bit off the map as top and bottom are covered by other parts of the program. Any way to fix? I can't use it in portrait mode as I'm using the car cradle which only fits in portrait in my car.
Thanks

Hey guy's I know the 3GS uses the digital compass to rotate the map so it's direction up/forward, I can't seem to find that for the Desire, just wondered if anyone knew how to do it??
IIRC you can turn the compass on in the labs option.
I can't see in on my T-Mobile version, updated to Maps 4.1.0
Cant see it on mine either (T-Mobile)
i think he means my location button in labs mine shows a compass arrow
It was a labs option on G1... not on desire seems. does the arrowhead icon not rotate with the phone as you would expect a compas to do? Seems to on mine.
it does rotate on mine n1 that is
What I mean is that on the iPhone when you've got the map up it spins so that the direction your driving or walking etc is straight up like most sat nav's do,
The desire just has a pointer showing your direction but doesn't turn the map around so it might show you travelling down or left or right.

that's strange..... seems weird that it wont do that. I was watching a video on the HD2 using google maps and the compass and that definitely turned the map as you moved.
The legend can do it, so surely your desire can!

Street view compass mode works fine on the desire, theres no compass mode for the position of the map in birds eye view though.

hi To auto rotate you need to select this option from Programs, Sound and display

This has nothing to do with Google Maps. This just rotates the display from portrait to landscape.
Does anyone know if Froyo supports landscape in either direction? its annoying only being able to go into landscape when turning counter clockwise, especially if you have a car mount that only turns clockwise.
+1 for that.
I was hoping for the same thing due to car mounting positioning. But would have thought it would be useful for left handed users too. After all, both iphone & windows mobile have had screen rotation in both directions for years so shouldn't be too hard to implement I hope.
Yesterday using the dock and navigation I noticed that the phone would kick me to the car dock mode and the navigation icon would disappear from notification bar. A few seconds later the icon will reappear and keep destination but I can't figure out why it kicks me out of navigation for no reason. Sometimes it takes a while to do it and sometimes it will do it after 10 seconds

I had this happen to me once when using nav, a reboot fixed the problem and I haven't had it since.
I'll give it a try.I think I remember restarting the phone right before the trip though. I have to say I am in love with the dock. I was streaming pandora and running navigation and using voice to text to send text messages all with out a skip in the music. Verizon had great coverage

Happens to me too, and others after reading a few other forums. I now close the car dock app and start the nav app from the app drawer. This seems to fix it for me.
I have to say I bought the droid x over all other phones because of the accessories. Before my 30 days were up I was trying to get an evo but now aster getting the car dock I don't want to get rid of it. I'm sure the multimedia dock is awesome too

For the S3 version can anyone confirm if this works in landscape mode so I can slide the phone in from the left rather than from the top.
Does it hold securely or does it have to be portrait mode only?
Also, is the camera blocked by the holder or is it still usable?
Thanks
I can still access the remote in the notification shade on my 8.4, but it'll only work for the last room I used and has a lot less buttons. I tried to use Peel Smart Remote which is what my Note 4 uses. However it won't install on the 8.4 and I had to side load it from APK Mirror. Sadly it won't work in landscape orientation, so you end up turning to use the remote and it stays in portrait mode.
The best I've found so far is ASmart Remote it's free, works with my devices, and works in landscape. The ads are a bit annoying, I wish I could pay to turn those off.
