there was a program written for Android 2.1 named Dock Simulator
it was to simulate that the device is docked in car dock or desk dock
now this application is not working any more on Froyo
is there a similar application that can simulate Car Dock
i want to benefit if built in froyo options like phone in landscape and launcher in landscape
thanks
Hi...pretty upset here...
it took me forever to find and use the dock mode on the sensation by adding the link to the lock screen since you cant access the dock mode icon from anywear else.
but i just updated to 2.3.4 via tmobile, and after reboot the icon was removed from the lock screen, and now it doesnt show on the app list when you try to put it back.
i do know that dock mode is still ON the device since i can access it through googles car mode ( where i added it as a shortcut IN that program)
what gives.. i mean seriously do they hate home dock mode so much?
Odd. I just updated and still have a "Dock Mode" in my apps drawer.
hows that possible? unless your not stock rom? maybe i should have mentioned that.. im on stock tmobile rom. the ONLY way i can get to the dock app shortcut was to go to my lock screen set up, and add it to one of the 4 icons that can be placed on the lock screen. but after update not only was it auto removed from my lock screen, its not in the apps list when adding to my lock screen ( it was NEVER in my regular apps list)
i cant see that app any wear else... can you?
I think people are having the same problem with the phone quick launch. There is a thread about that issue.
I imagine they will have an update to fix this soon.
Yup. Same here on stock. Car Mode, Dock Simulator, Car Panel (euro sense 3)all show as options but no Dock Mode but it still launches for me automatically in the dock. Just use Car Mode to launch it. Has a nicer icon anyway.
my dock mode is gone also i can launch it from titanium back up and works fine
but it will not let me install from the back up
Did you check with Larry and Curly ?
I have the official stock ICS 4.0.4 and my keyboard does not switch to fullscreen mode when i rotate the phone into landscape. Instead i keep seeing the website and textarea i am typing in (for example in a forum). Before 4.0.4 i was on 2.3.6 and it worked as it should.
I tried the default android keyboard and SmartKeyboard Pro. I also tried changing the settings for going/not going into fullscreen for both landscape and portrait. These settings have no effect whatsoever, even when i set it to go fullscreen in portrait mode it doesnt do it.
Please help!
I noticed you can change the lock screen apps by changinf your dock apps but can you just have separate apps for lockscreen and not have it mirror the dock?
Also in car home is there any way to changing the 4 major apps? Ie use google music instead of HTC music ans use Pandora instead of tunein

I don't really see any way to change the shortcuts on the car app. Personally, what I plan to do is just have my phone not sleep while charging and disable car home from activating in the dock. Using the app drawer sideways (still using Sense) is in no way elegant but I guess I'll just have to live with it

Has any one noticed that our car mode is diffferent than the international???? Any way their caf mode app can work on ours? We have sence clock widget with some apps as home car mode but international has gps with sense weather on bottom and you can swipe left and right to open more apps...
