Hey guys, I have recently purchased a horizontal car mount for my sensation XE so i can finally get rid of my old satnav and use the sensation. While driving I also use my phone to BT stream music to my stereo as well as listen to podcasts via doggcatcher and receive phone calls.
I know there is the dock mode in HTC sense but as far as i can work out there is no way of removing the clock and now playing icons and also adding a dialler option short cut, it just generally isnt ideal for what i need. Its quite awkward to read who is calling sideways and scroll through recent calls while they are in portrait and the phone is in landscape.
Does anyone know of a way round this problem is it possible to unlock htc sense to allow landscape orientation or not?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi all, simple question: is there a recording program (like the built-in Voice Recorder) that can use the microphone from a bluetooth headset that is connected?
I would love to be able to take quick audio notes while walking and be able to put the phone back in my pocket. HTC TP2 on Sprint if it matters (no idea why it would).
TIA
e: Extra annoyance, locking the device (standard WM6.5 lock screen, mapped to button) stops the stock Voice Recorder. I'd like it to continue even when losing focus.
bump?
I've just started using my car dock for my nexus and I am really disappointed with the car dock app. There is a second screen with empty spaces but no way to add shortcuts.
And I would expect there to be car versions of apps like messaging, contacts, and phone.
Having to answer a call in the car by sliding the answer button is not very safe. We should be able to just click one big button.
I am getting into android development, what would be involved in modifying the app/ creating car versions of the the apps mentioned above. Is it doable?
No offense, but your logic is flawed. Answering any call, looking at any texts, or doing anything at all with your phone while driving is not safe, period.
But if you are really that desperate for a customizable car home, check the market out fo Custom Car Home and Car Dock v2. Both of these will do exactly what you are looking for.
Well yes its not safe, but isnt that the point of a car dock/app? To make these actions safer to do while driving, handsfree?
I have checked out those apps, but they don't quite have the same polish in terms of interface as the Car Home app, and only really accomplish the shortcut issue. Not the issue of actions like answering a call, picking a contact not being suitable for in car.
hi noob here and just wanted to throw this out there.
I haven't got s-Off yet, but looking forward to installing custom roms when I can. I have a few things That can be improved as htc have missed them. So hopefully those guys into making changes come across this and make the changes.
Music widget: Doesn't update album art with currently playing song until you stop on the widget and allow it to update, can this be made instantaneous ? Also, multiple album art within album list is a bit much, I think a standard list with track time would b much better.
Message tone: cannot be changed without a third party app, also when on a call of the tone is longer than 1-2
seconds it will play in your ear for the full duration with no way to stop it, and you cannot hear the caller either. When there are headphone's attached, notification tones play through the loudspeaker, when all sound should be diverted to headphones.
Bluetooth: I use wireless headphones, I'm having quality issues when I move away from the handset, it seems htc have crippled the wireless features when it comes to this version of software. Also is there anyway to get the sound enhancer to work with bluetooth headphones?
Files: Cannot access sd card from the phone to see all files, have to connect to pc.
Call history: All calls incoming, received and missed show up multiple times for same contact. Then you also have the history button to the right of the contact which then shows all details incoming, outgoing, missed, time stamps, date. Can this be changed to just one icon per caller/contact. (hope this one made sense, was a bit hard to explain with out being confusing)
Well this is all that I have noticed so far and hope that it wont be too much trouble to change, would love to see the phone as its supposed to be, even if htc seem to have no idea right now, I would seriously love to slap there design team. especially for the WiFi issues they are really bad with my device, so pissed after getting rid of the motorola milestone 2 which was an epic fail, and now htc also has bugs!
Has anyone else noticed anything that could be changed for the better??? Add it here and lets see if the developers can change it all to have an awesome handset!
Fabz...
I've been having this problem for quite a while now, both on my old HTC EVO and on my new HTC Sensation. While listening through my earbuds (iPhone style, one button) if I double click the button the player (MixZing, but it does the same with the stock music player) skips to the next song as desired, but it also launches the phone and makes a call.
When I insert the earbuds the icon in the notification bar shows the headset icon, not just headphones. It has been suggested elsewhere that the problem lies with the plug being of the 3 segment type, BUT... I've used these same earbuds for a couple of years and didn't have the problem until relatively recently. They worked fine on the EVO for ages. I suspect the issue is specific to Android 2.3 (.3 maybe?). Or perhaps it's an HTC update issue?
Anybody have any ideas? Perhaps a way to disable headset controls for the phone app alone? I always yank the earbuds when I'm on a call anyway.
Any help is appreciated,
BR

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For one you shouldn't be scrolling thru your resent calls while you're driving blue tooth it not it's bit safe ;-) and two no as far as I know almost everything on sense and otherwise can be put in landscape mode with the one exception of the dialer app I cold be wrong and if I am someone send a link but I am pretty sure you can't
