I have a Sensation XL and the official HTC dock which ( like lots of other phones ) will enter dock mode when inserted into it.
As there is no dock app in apps does that mean when a dock is released ( assuming the dock will charge via the touch points on the back ) no Dock mode will be auto entered ?
I use my phone as an alarm clock and love to dock it next to my bed and as this X had the touch points USB can be taken out of the equation meaning no fiddling to dock it.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts

It has "Dock Settings", so I suppose there is also an app which pops up. Having no app in the app drawer doesn't mean that there is no app at all
Maybe someone with a device could use something like any cut to create a shortcut to the Dock App and run it ? I'd like to see if it's the same as the 3.6 sense app I have.
Thanks

Does anyone know how the Dock App works in the DINC 2? I want to purchase a dock, but I can't find any info on it. I can't find the app in on the phone, but I have seen it in my running apps before. A screen shot or two would be a nice bonus

You can access the dock mode by going to the home screen then hitting the search key searching for dock and the application will be at the top of the list in bold letters.

Thanks for the help!
Hi all,
I'm an happy owner of a Desire HD smartphone with "Android revolution HD 6.1.0" ROM loaded.
When I drive, Car dock mode is very usefull and user friendly but when I need to run a Nav software I don't use the one gived by default because I don't like it.
There's a way to write a mod that give the possibility tapping the nav button in Car dock mode, to choose with different nav software?
Thanks...
Edit: I'm talking about the custom one.. Please do not tell me to download other Car dock app (I already know that there are several). I like this one and I only would like to know if something can be done. That's it!

Nobody knows how to???
After searching the forums, I see that landscape mode while in the home screen is not something that exists on the Galaxy Nexus. However the other day I put my Verizon Galaxy Nexus in the Verizon car dock (sideways to use navigation) and the screen jumped to landscape mode! I started music then navigator, drove off, arrived at my destination, removed my phone, and it has not happened since.
Has anyone had this happen? Is it a glitch or a hidden feature?
I tried to place the phone against my old Droid 1 dock and the magnets in it had no effect on the G-Nex.
Stock rooted.
Thanks!
The car dock will put the launcher in landscape but you need an alternative launcher to achieve this effect without the dock.
It's the same if you use the MHL -> HDMI cable, your screen then goes to Landscape mode.
Have u tried Orientation Control from the Market?
Don't have a Galaxy Nexus but if you want to set how the homescreen behaves (always portrait/ always automatic orientation change), I would recommend using Nova Launcher. It is basically the standard ICS launcher with extended settings (i.e. for screen rotation).

What does that do exactly?

U can use it to force landscape.
I use it on my GTV...
You can also use Rotation Locker: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker&hl=en
Even though the Dev doesn't necessarily intend it to work this way (see thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412752 ), if I set it to Portrait, Auto-Rotate, or Landscape, just about every app (including the stock launcher) on my G-Nex locks to Portrait, Auto-Rotate, or Landscape, respectively.
Greets!
In a nutshell: looking for a way to hold my screen up-side-down and have it show correctly. Basically I wan to put it in my dash holder up-side down so that the usb charging port is facing the bottom. That way, I dont have to try an get my charging and audio cables to reach all of the way to the top!
I have found an app that lets me change to landscape, but not completely all the way around. My iPad does this with ease by default. Any clue on how to change the orientation so that I can hold my phone up-side-down but still have the screen showing correctly?
Also, running Slim 4.2.2 Build5 if that makes a difference.
Thanks!
One of the settings (display maybe?) has what screen orientations are enabled. 180 is off by default.

Stock CM and many ROMs based off it has this option BUT they will not enforce this on all apps AND it will not work on lockscreen (i.e. even if you lock it 180 in settings, you'll have to unlock in 0 degrees).
I've investigated the same problem quite much and found "Ultimate Rotation Controls" to be the only solution that can force all apps including the lockscreen to rotate in any direction you want (while other similar apps also can force apps to rotate but fail on lockscreen).

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of a horizontal/landscape docking station / stand for the HTC One. All I see is the portrait one, but I use my phone as an alarm clock as well, and it would be really cool if the alarm app would automatically switch on when it senses it's in a landscape holder of some type. My Original Google Droid had such a holder, and my wife's Sony Xperia Play (don't laugh) also had this accessory.
Alarm clock apps are supposed to be viewed in landscape mode. I have searched on the web, and I don't even see references to even a future product. I thought maybe someone on this forum might have some inside info, unless I overlooked something.
Thanks again for any replies.

Just picked up a Otterbox Defender and the belt clip rotates and snaps open to hold your phone in a landscape layout.
The problem is that Sense 5.0 doesn't come with a desktop clock mode like you get in stock Android. HTC doesn't make a desktop dock for the phone, so nothing happens when you plug it into a power source.
I just use a portrait dock and have Tasker launch a desk clock app.

Through HTC Media Link HD there is a horizontal Sense mode so there is probably a way to force this through some tweaks i suppose.
Maybe Trickdroid has that function in the Tweaks app or maybe ViperOne. Haven't tried it though only with Media link HD.
Can't test it myself currently cause i'm at a GPe rom.
Or put the phone in Car mode
