Hi, I was wondering if this was possible. I actually was looking to see if there was such an app..
Anyways, just started using my PS3 again online and I didn't have a keyboard. Figured there might be an app in the market for that to use your phone as a bluetooth keyboard for the PS3.
Any takers on this request??
+1 This would be great, also an app to use our Androids as a mic and headset would be great
This would be great. The best way to get this to work would be for the phone to act a a standard Bluetooth HID. Then you could use it on anything. Keyboard or mouse.
This would be the bomb!

We've been asking for this since Droid 1 came out. No one has been able to do it.
Too bad.........
This makes me sad face

Um, are you sure?
Yes I checked in the system/app folder and it wasn't there. When I put it into the car dock I get an icon to disconnect from the dock but it never loads.

Ok I got the apk and pushed it with adb. Now the big question is it possible to modify the apk so it opens Google navigate instead of vznavigator. Please someone tell me there is hope.lol

Its very customizable add whatever apps you want.
Also you can use setting profiles from the market and make it load and close when you put it in or take it out of the dock.
Works slick!
is it just me? I am unable to find car home on the market (on the phone) - and when I go to the market, I can't push it to the phone. how are you guys downloading it?

Not sure why you are not able to find it on the Market. It is listed as CarHome Ultra. You get 30 days free trial then you but license yo use after. WELL WORTH IT!!!!

wait a second, car home ultra isn't by google...."car home" is a google application, "car home ultra" is by "thespinninghead".
I'll kindly pass on this one
The official desk cradle is on sale at VZW for $6.99 if anyone wants one, probably even with free 2-day shipping. See here
Just got mine today when the girlfriend got her new LG Revolution (/jealous). Also got the windshield car mount for same price.
Android 2.2
I bought both cradles, for about $12. Apparently there is a 3.5mm jack that won't function until we get the upgrade.

Yeh, I noticed that too...
Can the cradle app be modified?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
possibly... it would have to allow audio to be passed over the microUSB port...
Cradle App
I meant a more general modification, like changing the applications that are listed on the screen to others. I downloaded the APK Manager and extracted the APK. I have been looking through the XML files all day and trying to learn about this stuff.
Other apps
I have been searching further and I downloaded a few car and desk from other phones that I'll be trying out on a road tip tomorrow.
I have both cradles but rarely use them because I'm afraid of burned in images.. Anyone had this problem?
-Justin
What problem? Burn in problems? Yeah, I do.... The bar on top, especially the time, and everything from the ticker is burned in... Not a big deal, but whatever xP

Mods
I should probably be in the modding forum, but I didn't want to start another thread. Imnuts, reset me and now I am staring at smali code trying to figure out how to modify a button in the cradle app to read and point to a different app. Join me in the irc if you'd like to help.
I'd like to help xD smali editing is a cruel harsh mother, so we all need some help when it comes to this lol
I have some experience, so if you want me in just tell me when you are in the irc, because your are gone now

I use one called Car Home and I really like it. It automaticaly opens in the car, but not on the home dock. It allows for (at least) 3 seperate pages of 6 apps each to add your own apps and has speed, heading, and weather for current GPS or 3G location. So far I give it 4/5 stars since it doesnt make me a sandwich and dispense Monster from the headset jack. Another pair of reasons for the star demerit, albeit a lesser set of reasons than the last 2, would be that it doesnt auto open on home dock and its not really that pretty of a home screen.
This works now!!!! The external audio jack output on back!!!

Just fyi, both docks are now under $5 from Verizon. I just ordered them for my girlfriend's continuum.

Charges the phone, and will bring up the desk clock app. It turns it into a clock more or less, and it also has a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can plug speakers/headphones into it.
Also, if Froyo is never officially released, I'd imagine you could get your money back for the desk dock (and car dock of they have one) as they are not functional without the update. They are advertised with a sticker over the headphone port saying it will work with the Android 2.2 update, so no update, and they are essentially doing false advertising that the phone will receive the update. Who puts a sticker like that on a product if there won't be an update?
I've had the cradle since early March, at least I believe it's the same cradle. The 3.5mm jack on the back does work pre-update. The PIA is that you need to open the stock "music player" app, place your continuum into the dock then select the new icon that appears to be a phone. Once you activate the "external speaker" you can pause and quit the "music player" app and play whatever music app you choose. I've used doubletwist as well as Pandora without any issues. The only hassle is if you remove the phone from the dock you'll have to repeat these steps. I hope that is helpful.
Peace,
Ray
edit: I believe the cradle app also has the same icon so you'd be able to do it from there as well. I'm not a fan of the desk dock app because there is no customization available for it so I never use it.
Hey guys, I bought a Pioneer 2400bt double din for my car. I love it. Bluetooth streaming has me hooked. But I have a few issues I want to see about fixing.
When ever I change to the next song, my screen on my phone turns on. Which I hate, my phone will be in my pocket or backpack and it drains the battery because it stays on. Is there a way to change that? Thats problem one.
Problem two: When I stream bluetooth music, it doesn't display the song name or artist. I've tried doubletwist and Google music and neither show it. Is there a setting to change? If this can't be done without the use of a cable. I dont want it. I want cable free!
Thanks guys, maybe someone will know!

Hey guys, just ordered a car mount for my S3 and I've been reading that when the phone is docked, S-Voice turns on automatically. Is there a way to disable this functionality? I also read somewhere that freezing S-Voice will make bluetooth work incorrectly so not sure if that's true or if there's a way around it.
Also, do any custom ROMs support dock audio? I've read that CM10 doesn't support it yet.
Thanks
Download a car app like carhome ultra

I don't want a different screen to pop up though...I just want the regular home screen to stay up when docked
Do you use S-Voice at all? If not freeze it. But of course this is only if you never use it.
