Just thought i'd let all the users on XDA know that the OnStar app for select 2011 GM vehicles is available for download.

I have tested out the app on my Droid Incredible, while the remote functions do work, there is an incredibly long lag time between the time you send the command to the time the car gets the command from OnStar. For example, the remote engine start takes maybe 5 to 10 seconds to get the command, but if you want to unlock or lock the doors, it sometimes can take up to 2 to 3 mins until it responds.
The info screen for status of your vehicle is nice though as it is in realtime and you can request a status update manually from the vehicle or just wait until the app refreshes the data on its own.
I personally think the remote functions are useless until they can be better fixed for realtime use, otherwise its pointless since your keyfob is much faster.
Note: While playing around with the app, the remote start function apparently is limited to two remote starts per engine cycle, which i didn't know and i guess its either a security measure or a fuel saving measure just incase. Don't know for sure.
You can download the app from marketplace now for free!

the car turns off after 10 mins if you don't turn it over (ignition switch), thus causing more than one engine start before the actual engine cycle.
Anyone Got the .APK?
Not showing for Verizon Droid X.. anyone have it to share?

Has anyone discovered a way to keep the screen on longer while on a call?
Is there any way to change this? If I missed another post on this I apologize. Thanks
You can use power manager in the Google Marketplace

One of the best 99 cent app I've ever purchased. Support the Dev, he just lost his job, and the app kicks ass.
Yeah, Power Manager has the option to a max of 2 minutes, but it has never worked for me, it always times out waaay earlier.

i use shake awake free app that causes your phone to turn back on if you move it a certain amount, you can ajust the sensitivity to howevver much you like. mine basically stays on if the phone moves at all while i am on a call
Awesome I will try these. Thanks for the responses.
Power manager doesn't change the timeout for the screen during calls. The only way to change that currently is using the shake program mentioned above. I use both programs and love both of them so when power manager doesn't help with the screen timeout during a call use it for all the other great benefits and select monitor so it can apply the different profiles (which you can customize) for all the situations.
I tired these apps they both seem to work pretty well, any ideas on how this could be done without using an app?

For those who can afford it (15 € / 20 USD), it runs flawlessly on our Razr i as long as you don't multitask (or have un-healthy loads of background app running).
If you do, it may force close, but most of the time the cache will save your un-saved work as soon as you restart it. So, just make some room for this little baby and everything will be perfectly smooth and fine.
The app is gorgeous with neat animations and great creative capabilities while remaining easy and intuitive to use (Fruity Loops formula :good, but I won't judge it further more as I am quite a noob when it comes to computer music creation, so my opinion maybe not worthy
For the moment it is not as advanced as the IOS version, but they plan to sync those two and their updates in a near future. Right now you got 133 instruments to play with, and I was quite happy to notice that you can create a wide array of musical style; not just pure techno. I hope we will soon be able to import custom musical bank for endless possibilities

This is actually something I've wanted for a while. I'm having some trouble using it though.
I can't seem to figure how to reset the count or change the increment. I'm running on my Nexus 5 if that helps.
I like the simplistic design. Looks nice and streamlined. My issue is after some tapping (maybe around 30), it randomly stops accepting taps. Been able to repeat it several times.

Hey, thanks!
Honestly , I also just heard about this problem. The menu somehow is only working on other phones and not in any of the Nexus devices (even though its suppose to, and the code is right).
Give me one day, Im changing it!

Dear Rick, thanks for the cool app, just let you know that on my new Note 5, I can not import the fingerprint indicator from internal memory even i saw it, but nothing happens when I choose, the indicator unchanged. Can u keep a little bit attention on that? Thanks again Rick

Hi. I got one other report about this. I am not sure if the person was using a Note 5 :$. Could you contact me via email? You can find my email address on the about page in FingerSecurity or on the Play Store page
Very good app, I use it daily since I had the Galaxy S5

Hi Rick,
Really digging this app. There is one minor annoying thing that is happening. When I turn on my screen the application looks to jump to the top of the notification list. When it does that it moves everything down, which causes a bit of shutter on my lock screen.
Have you heard of this? Also, PM if you want a video for this great application.

Hi. I never heard of this before. I would like to see a video about that if that is possible
Hi All,
I have published an app called Pocket Sense to catch the pickpockets and mobile thieves.
It has the following features :
1. Pocket Sense Mode - It will ring the alarm when the mobile is taken out of your pocket and the mobile lock screen is not unlocked within the delay time.
2. Charge Sense Mode - It will ring the alarm when the mobile is removed from charing point and the mobile lock screen is not unlocked within the delay time.
3. Motion Sense Mode - It will ring the alarm when the mobile is moved from the table it kept and the mobile lock screen is not unlocked within the delay time.
You can turn off the alarm by simply unlocking your mobile lock screen or by turning off the respective mode. You can set the delay time in the app's settings option.
This app could be helpful when you travel in a public transport where you are worried about the phone safety or while charing in the public places charging points.
