So, as the title says, I have the N1 resting in the dock and charging. I want to use Google Talk so I tap the home button and open Google Talk. Between the tap on the home icon and anywhere after the Nexus One will automatically return to the clock app. I can tap home again and randomly it will again return to the clock.
Is there a way to a) disable the clock (I'll miss it, but it's almost frustrating enough to never use it again) or b) disable return to the clock app? I don't see any settings to accomplish this so it's probably some power user trick. I don't think this is occurring because the N1 is losing contact with the dock while I'm tapping as it's resting pretty solid in the dock.
Any ideas?
I guess you could put a small piece of tape over the middle pin and that should prevent it from going into the Clock app but still allow it to charge.
try dock nothingness from the market, it will let you select it and when its docked it wont open anything.

Excellent recommendation. I tried a couple of the Droid dock app and they were buggy. This app is consistent. Thanks.

That's a good idea. If I run out of options and Dock Nothingness stops working I'll look into this. Thanks.

im glad people use it haha, dumb app, i know, but somepeople find it useful, I did this once I got the dock unboxed, I was getting really annoyed of things opening up automatically.

I don't think the app will stop working because it is not a hack, it's using documented and officials Sticky BroadcastReceivers for detecting the dock, opening "Dock Nothingness" instead, however, the "Dock Nothingness" app is nothing, so it closes it self right away giving the user the illusion of the phone not really opening anything
When I read the thread topic, I was like "yeah, its damn frustrating!".
velazcod: Thanks for the app to fix this nuisance.
I look forward to the next version that does even more nothing!
Updated, make sure to go into the app's preferences -> Phone and select "Nexus One / CM5" if you are on CM5.0.3+

I'm not seeing where to do this, can you elaborate?

Oh, you need the "LEDs Hack" app, you can find it in the market.
Just received my desktop dock and the clock application was driving me mad within 10 minutes of making and receiving calls etc.
Dock nothingness is great - thanks for the suggestion....................
One of the things I find irritating about the dock is when I'm playing music through the bluetooth connection it initializes automatically and I take the phone off to send a text or whatnot it unpairs its self. Can I force it to stay paired until I turn off bluetooth?

Yes, connect and pair before docking it
I do that now, but I have to dig through the wireless menu. Is there a widget or something that will connect to a predefined device with one touch?

For some reason the dock won't allow to auto-connect when in range, it does this for other devices, like headsets....
Has anyone looked into modifying car home at all? I would love it if I would be able to turn on bluetooth automatically, turn off wifi, that sort of thing.
I know that Tasker can do it, but its still very beta about things like this.
Have a look in the market for "custom car home" - has both the options you mention and more.

Not sure how but I have gotten my Xoom to where when I am on the Internet it talks to me about every selection.
Driving Me nuts.
Can anyone tell me how to shut that off
Thanks.

Oh that's the accessibility feature called talkback I think. To turn it off you have to go into Browser Settings or System settings to turn it off. I can't tell you precisely where to go as my xoom isn't with me at the moment.

Settings
Accessibility
Under there you have a check box for turning on Accessibility, then under that options for SoundBack and Talkback.
So I've noticed that when I type there seems to be no auto correct happening. Ill get an apostrophe and stuff if I forget but on regular words I get nada!!!
I've tried smart keyboard pro and a few others with the same result.
Is there a setting or something I could have turned off???

I've checked all my settings. When I have show suggestions checked it will correct words but I don't like seeing them above the keyboard as I type. It's distracting too me. When I uncheck it to get rid of the suggestions box it will not auto correct common mistakes.
For example, if i type brothr and show suggestions is checked, it will change to brother. If I don't have it checked nothing happens.

there is a free 30 day trial of swiftkey 3 it is pretty freakin amazing!
Have you checked under advanced settings for what the space bar does?
First off I hope this is the proper forum..
I'm running the latest version of CM7, and use the built in 'Car Home' app anytime I'm on the road.. The problem I'm having is that it takes several attempts to exit the app.. When it does my original home screen is slow to come back, and my calendar widgets need to be refreshed because they are all blank after exiting 'Car Home'. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything that can be done to fix it?
I've tried several other car apps but they all have speedometers and other things built in that I don't want or need.. I just really like how simple the CM7 app is..
Thanks..
Is your phone plugged in while you are in the car? I had a bad charger that would force my phone into car mode whenever I plugged it in.

A friend of mine had the same issue after using his Kindle charger on his phone.
