[Q] Car mode or something similar as HTC Car Mode? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that Z3 doesn't have a car mode.
This makes the driving uncomfortable and a bit dangerous as if I've receive a call, I need to activate the speaker in order to be able to answer the call. Also, I don't have the apps at hand as in HTC Car mode.
Is there a way to get a car mode on the Z3 or an app I can use for this??
Thanks in advance.

Speakerphone answer for car use?

Hi all, I have had my O2 IQ for about a month now and love it to bits - first XDA I have had with a decent radio rom from the box!
my only problem is that when I am in the car, obviously, I cannot pick it up to answer a call and pressing the call button to go to speakerphone is a pain as well as distrating, especially if tomtom is running, as it usually minimizes the program as well
I really don't like headsets, so really need some way to get the phone to automatically answer in speakerphone mode
I thought I would be able to do this in a profile, but cant see any way to do it, is there a program which can allow this?
I don't have any problem with using speakerphone in the car as others seem to, so it would be an ideal solution
I am running the original O2 rom if it makes any difference, not felt the need to mess with it yet!
any help much appreciated
regards
Robert

Any idea's anyone.
I have the same problem.
Press green button for a while - speakerphone will be turned on
Same problem here, anyway to auto answer in loudspeaker?
@ZlydenGL - we don't have the time to press the answer button and then press the loudspeaker button when driving, dangerous
This probably isn't quite what you're looking for, but can't you plug in a wired headset into your phone when you're in the car?
My dad had something like that, with the microphone mounted above the steering wheel...

Car Mode

Is there an application that will put the G2X into car mode? Where the phone goes into landscape, the phone defaults to speaker and the screen doesn't time out?

Not that I'm aware of, but if you have stereo bluetooth in your car (A2DP), you can set the car home app to launch automatically when the phone connects to the car's bluetooth.
You can do this in Locale. Its a poweruser software and well worth it if you use your phone as a business tool.

[Q] Modify Landscape dock Mode

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. 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

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

[Q] Match notification/ringer and media volume with headphones in

I've no idea where this belongs so I thought I'd go as general as possible.
Is there a way to match my notification/ringer volume with my media volume whenever headphones are plugged in?
I'm constantly deafened when I'm listening to music on low volume and a notification goes off full bore because I've forgot to turn them down. If I remember to turn notifications/ringer down then I tend to forget to turn it back up and l end up with missed calls because I plug the phone into computer speakers to play music and can't hear it ring.
I know the easiest solution to this problem is a good memory but does anyone know of a more reliable option?
Phone details if anyone cares
If it matters I'm using a Telstra HTC one XL (same as the one X on ATT) fully stock, unrooted on 4.0.3. I figured it was more of a general android thing which is why I posted it here. I'd definitely root for a fix but I'd rather not flash a ROM until CM10 or AOKP are almost 100%
Thanks guys!
