Anyone know where I can buy a USB cable to make the phone think its in car mode..?
If you dock the phone into a proper car dock it auto clicks it into car mode, if you plug it into the same power source with a normal cable it doesnt do the same thing. So it has to be a pin configuration in the dock/cable...?

You can config multiple tasks.
For example my setup:
-when connected it turns on bluetooth, wifi and gps.
-if it connects to my car stereo via bluetooth, it opens the gps app, and starts to play music
-if it connects to my home wifi, and is at night, it goes to silent mode
-when disconnected from power it turns everything to it previous state
Try to play around with settings, with the right configuration you wont ever need any kind of special dock again.

My phone keeps freezing after disconnecting my phone from the iBolt car dock using the stock car home app. It stays at the lock screen and cannot unlock, only bring down the notification bar. I downloaded car home ultra but have not tried it with the dock to see if this app also recreates the issue. I would rather get the stock car home app to work as I like it a little better. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried coming out of car dock before disconnecting from ibolt, this is what I do without any problem.
Andy-Do you mean pressing the back button and clicking OK on the pop up then disconnecting from the dock? I just did that this morning and it still froze. Thanks.
Yep that's what I meant, have you tried with and without case if you have one on. Also turning off auto dock and doing it manually once seated.
Will give those ideas a try and let you know.
I use my nexus mounted in my car and always connected to the car charger. Is there a way or app that will automatically switch the phone on off like airplane mode and standby mode when the power to the charger/car is on? I am looking for a way to do this without having to manually power the phone on/off and keeping the battery from going dead while not in use.

Tasker can do that I believe.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
NFC tag! Or tasker context (orientation + USB power), but you might accidentally trigger it when you don't want to.
Ive been trying to get an Wireless Xbox 360 controller working on my GNex. If i plug in the wireless receiver it stays off unless i hold the sync, but turns off after a few seconds. One time i rebooted with it plugged in and i was able to navigate the home screen for a bit then it died. I tried plugging it into a powered USB Hub and it worked great and I was able to play several levels of Dead Trigger with no issues.
It seems like the usb port isn't putting out enough power for this.
HDMI over MHL also flickers and cuts out frequently, is this also do to some weird power fluctuation? I always turn off LTE before i use MHL as i read that that interfere but that doesn't fix it.
Anyone know about these two problems? Are they related as i suspect? Is my device just defective?
Hi.
Do you guys thing it would be possible to build some sort of button/switch plugable to the phone via USB or headphones jack so I can turn screen ON/OFF?
I am cycling and using phone as my GPS/mapping device. Phone is in the waterproof mount on my handlebar, and turning screen on while on the move through that case + having gloves on my hands is impossible. I am struggling even at full stop. I tried riding with screen always on but battery died after 1-2 hours, plus I don't need it to be on all the time.
So perfect solution would be some sort of switch mounted close to handlebars, somehow plugged to the phone, allowing me to control screen with it?
Do you think it is possible? Any ideas?
Thanks
Tasker profile?

Yes! Great. Now, physical button....
How to plug it in? what pins etc?
Not exactly an external switch but have you looked at pgm nexus, from playstore, may give you a slightly more convenient way to lock and also wake screen than using power button.

Hi gent's,
how to make my Xperia Arc S LT18i shutdown automatically 30 seconds after the USB charging cable is disconnected?
I want to use it as a car GPS permanently connected to the cigar lighter socket. I was able to make it turn on when the USB cable receives charge by deleting the file /system/bin/chargemon. But I also need it to shutdown when I turn off the car.
Check Tasker or Automate. Maybe you can create a rule to turn off the power when the vehicle is stationary, e.g. for a certain period of time.
