Hey, does anyone know how to automate the Driving Mode on our phones?
I want it to automatically start and stop with a headphone being attached. Is that possible? I could not find how to do it in Tasker.
That would be amazing and i'd love to hear about this as well, so far I just use 'xiaalive' streaming radio with the dropping ball and such as my driving audio program of choice, but that requires me to actually click play on the widget.

Hi,
The only thing I have succeeded with tasker is to automatically display the text-to-speech settings while connecting a given BT device. Once this window displayed I just have to check the Driving mode box if I want to activate it.
If someone find the trick to directly activate Driving mode : tell me how !
Can anybody tell me what is the functionality of car mode?
I don't mean the app "Car"! I activated the car mode by Tasker, so I have the symbol of a car on the notification bar.
Read somewhere that calls are on automatically, but anything else?
I'm using ARHD 6 and am on the way to configure my NFC tags.
Greetings.
I just received the Samsung Universal Multimedia Desktop dock for my Galaxy Nexus. While it does charge the phone, and the phone knows its been put into a dock, it refuses to switch the audio output though the dock connected speakers.
Ive even tryed downloading a program to automatically switch it, but it doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the dock audio output to work?
[edit] Also, when i goto the sound settings, the Audio under Dock remainds disabled, even when docked, but the insert sound option works.
Thanks
Digging into it, i found another poster with the same issue on the google. His discription is more detailed than mine, and has the same problem. Reading though his, it seems to be an issue with the phone or OS and not the dock.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon, i515) running stock 4.2.2. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Multimedia Dock (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA)
When I insert the Nexus into the dock, I want to use the Audio line out to run an external speaker. But that option doesn't seem to exist on the phone OS.
In earlier versions of Android (2.3 for instance), the documentation says when you insert the device into a dock, you have the option of enabling the audio on the line out port. (http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=168598)
I have daydream enabled and daydream starts, so the device is aware it is docked. While docked, I go to settings - sound and look at the Dock settings (there are only two). Audio (grayed out) and Dock Insert Sound.
When I start some music, the sound plays from the Nexus internal speakers.
Is there a way to enable the audio to play out the line out port of this dock? The audio must be redirected to the audio line out through the Nexus USB charging connector.

Ok, if nobody knows a solution to this, does anyone know where i can obtain the Desktop Dock with Pogo Pins?
I really need a dock with audio out, and im pretty disappointed that the one i got doesn't work. I'd be nice to know if ti was because it was incompatible, or because the dock was bad.

Did you ever figure this out? I just bought 2 official Samsung docks that were advertised as working with the Nexus, and the phone doesn't switch to audio out for either. I have the same issue where it detects it is docked but doesn't enable the dock audio settings.
(I also, along with everyone apparently, really wish there were landscape pogo pin docks out there. But for the past 6 months I've looked I've never seen one, and they were _super_ expensive.)

Nope. I've been checking in on this thread every now and then hoping someone knows. It still doesnt work. Currently ive been plugging in the power and speakers separately, which works, but is annoying.
Still looking for answers on this. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this phone to work with the dock audio?
Thanks
I got 99 problems but my dock aint one (jk its a problem too)
I have the pogo pin dock for the galaxy nexus (I would post a link but I can't because I'm still a noob), and as of today my sound stopped channeling through the dock which is really annoying. I've had problems in the past with redirecting sounds through my headphones/speakers. Sometimes I'll be playing a song through the speakers and the phone will switch the audio output to the headphone jack (even though I didn't plug headphones in). Luckily a free app let me take care of that quite well, it's called SoundAbout. As of today I have tried the Pro version of SoundAbout and reinstalling the ROM, both to no avail. For some reason, my phone is not even recognized in the dock when it is turned on but the phone charges in the dock when it is powered off. Also, my computer has stopped recognizing the phone and shows it as an unknown USB device. When I installed the drivers for it, it said that the device has stopped responding and to replace the device.
Still cant get this to work. Don't know wtf is wrong. Feel like i wasted money on this docking station. :|
Hi, not sure if this will help but from my Galaxy S4, Settings, My Device, Accessory, there is an option "Audio output mode". Checking this option should allow you to use external speakers when in docked mode.

Sorry, Galaxy Nexus (aka stock android) has no such option that i could find. The only option related to the audio and the dock is under (for stock) Settings - > Sound -> Dock -> Audio, which for me remains greyed out, even when docked.
Anyone find a solution to this? Just picked up the dock for work and would like to take advantage of the sound out option.
I have the same problem with Galaxy S i9000 with CM11 and Samsung Desktop Dock - no audio output via dock. Any solutions?
Hi
My N7100 is on OMNI-rom, I am facing the following issue: whenever I try to switch off Bluetooth it switches itself back on.
Anybody else facing this?
Anybody having a solution?
Is there such thing as Dock Mode on our 5x phones? I know there is Car Mode, but does Dock Mode exist too? If yes, anyone know how to trigger it without an actual dock? Thanks
