Car Apps - HTC One S

So I've recently started using the Car app and I like what htc has done but I'm not truly happy with it. For instance, the lack of a fast forward and rewind option in the music section and customization ei. adding apps to list.
I've tried two other car home apps in the market but aesthetically they're not as good as HTC's. Have you guys found one that you like and or do you a later version of car that could perhaps be different?

No I haven't found much out there and the reason why there is no ff is because ur supposed to be driving. As off customisation its android htc sense not holo but still nice looking

I'm using Car Dashboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mandaria.cardashboardfree) for some time now and I'm happy with it Not as nice as HTC Car but much more functionality

I've been using Car Home Ultra for the last few weeks and I kind of like it. You can customize the large buttons, music controls included..

Im happy with car mode, but why I can choose for navigation shortcut only google nav or HTC locations? I want navigon

Overall I like the HTC Car App, what I don't understand is why you can't voicedial after you touch the Phone button. Is there a way to do this in Car Mode?

Flash the Viper ROM. That gives you the option to choose your own SatNav app.

Car App - Transferrable?
I've got a One S and like the Car App.
My wife has a Galaxy IIs and I think she would appreciate the HTC Car App. Without rooting or messing with the OS is there a means of installing the HTC Car App on a Samsung?

No as far as I know this app is coded using sense framework so no, maybe a chance if you root, the biggest advantage of htc to me is sense and it's apps or supposed 'bloatware'. She will just have to make use of a market alternative.

BUT you can definitely find several CAR apps in the google app store.
I, for example, am using this although I have the HTC one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5iaWdmd29vc2guY3VzdG9tY2FyaG9tZSJd

iCrap headsets for Android devices

Hi Guys
I've been looking for a nice headphones with mic and control buttons for my Legend
Unfortunately companies make only ones for iPhone
Apple does not like us to use them
So they have put a chip which allows them to work only with idevices
When u connect them to legend mic do not work (but the phone recognize it as coneceted)
Only central button works (allows u to play and stop music only)
I've read that there is a patch for HTC magic
Which allows to use iPhone ones
I've been wondering is there a way to make them work on legend as well
If anyone have any info about how to do it please help

Hi yeah the htc headphones are terrible but you will also find that the iphone/ipod 4 headphones work too for android phones
my sister has a ipod 4 and got a set from the apple store 25 gbp logitec ones sounds very nice and bass is great too inner ear ones 3 button control
i tried these on my phone and they worked but only one button worked but that could be due to cm7 but any iphone/ipod 4 ones will work
Hope this is of help

The problem is that microphone is not working
At the end I bought sennheiser px200-lli, they have a brilliant sound quality and they can b folded to small size
I hope I'll manage to make them work somehow
Anyway thanks

Built in Equalizer

Not sure if this is old news to everyone else, but I just stumbled across it (a month later) But the default music player has a built in equalizer. If you press the menu button while the app is open and tap settings it's there. You can also turn on a little visualization. Like I said not sure if everyone else knows this , but it's kinda cool.
Looool I thought I had noticed it late too. Inha en used google music but voodoo and 5.1 surround sound sound awesome ha. The

Lol, good I don't feel so bad now. I just purchased these little IHome speakers http://www.ihomeaudio.com/iHM60GX/ and they sound really good when you adjust the EQ!
I personally like the stock player with Voodoo sound.
I use it in my car plugged into the
Aux. Port. Great sound!

I agree with Corvette Dave. I purchased the HU in my truck for the USB port but I actually use my phone and the AUX port more. The infuse with voodoo sound sounds great with the stock player.

Yeah, products seldom ship with hardcopy manuals anymore. You have to download it from the product page (which the forum isn't letting me link to, but just Google "infuse manual").
personally I prefer using the DSPManager from cyanogen mod rom. It works great even without CM7 installed
Can u push dspmanager to stock froyo or do u have to be on gb Roman?

Gtalk Video chat works
Noticed a new app called HTC likes
No CRT animation?
Sound has been boosted, At least from the speaker I can notice a big difference. Also the the stock music app is picking up the embedded album art correctly now on my imported iTunes library.
HTC likes was always there, and it's still bloatware :-( the real changes for me are better dual core support and gtalk video, so now you don't poorly supported third party apps, like VTalk. Now I can use a poorly supported Google App!

LOL -he sure complains like one!
Is the speaker really louder? I'm dying to get this, but fully rooted and Rom'd up.
Definitely seems louder to me.
Tried the game Cordy off the Market and the graphics spaz out to look like when a desktop pc GPU is dying. Also the stock browser closes all windows except the one you have open when you close it.
I can confirm on 2.3.4 on a stock Sensation by pressing home and power it will take a screen shot and photos will be in the camera shots album.. Pretty freaking nice of them to include this feature

[Q] Sense ROM problem: music will not get quieter when other app requests audio focus

Let me give you an example. I use the MyTracks program when I am running. I set it up to speak an audio announcement every 5 minutes. While it is running I also have Google Music playing music.
With CM7, whenever the 5 minute interval comes up, it quiets the music and speaks the message. When it's done with its announcement the music returns to normal volume.
I have tried many Sense ROMs - stock, LeeDroid, Virtuous unity, and RCMix3D. with all of these ROMs, the MyTracks application does not quiet the music to do its announcement.
Is there something unique to CM7 that allows an app to take the audio focus like that? is there any way to do that on a Sense ROM?
Thanks.

If the app is set up properly to quite the music then it will work. As stated power amp does this perfectly. With that be said it can be done but if it isn't working its an app issue working with the Sense rom base. I would let Google know and see what they say as it does work just not for that app

ICS Sleep Animation

Is there any App that or mod which lets your phone go off like a old TV? On my Gold iphone i had an app that was called TV Tube sleep.

what is a gold iphone? j/k
search play store for "screen off and lock"
the OLD CRT effect can also be modded into a ROM, as for CRT ON effect it is usually more difficult.
try the apps in the play store they have many different animations.
he is silly telling the colour of his iphone(yukkk )
