When I got my fascinate I bought the desk charger too. When I plugged it in, the desk cradle app popped up as I expected. I decided to go with LauncherPro Plus, thinking the dock app would come up automatically, but it doesn't. Is there a way to fix this? I'd like to be using Launcher Pro and put my phone on the charger and the desk cradle app pop up automatically. Thanks for your help

You figure out a way to do this?
I would like it to launch automatically too but all you need to do is push the home key and that will launch it for you.
Tasker in the market would be able to do this. Has a learning curve, but worth it to learn.
From a phone on an app
Also, what I did is bought klaxon (supports a great dev), installed genie widget and you get the stock clock look with weather on it.

i would love for this to work too. i have home switcher installed so my default is LauncherPro Plus. so when i hit the home key it doesn't go to the desk cradle.
my lp+ launches the deskclock when i slide it into the home dock (used to launch the normal home dock app, but it isn't on my phone anymore)
Although this might not help because I didn't do anything to make my phone do this it just always has, I'm using LP+ and my Desk Clock launches when I put my phone in the cradle. However, I am using the AOSP desk clock so maybe that makes a difference.

it does make a difference. if your on stock rom and use launcherpro the desk cradle have to be started manually. now that im running a custom rom i also have the aosp desk cradle now comes up.
Locale, expensive, but a great app.

I used autoneuter and am running zeam launcher. I was pretty pissed the ipad had a switch for disabling screen rotation ( not anymore apparently) and wished there was some way to do it on my nook when laying down in bed reading.
I was messing with the screen and i found out touching the wifi/battery/clock area at the bottom right of the screen opens up Quick settings which has "wifi, mute, oreitnation, and brightness"!
I may be really slow but I was SUPER happy about this and wanted to share incase anyone else missed it.
I am not sure if this is part of autoneuter, zeam, or softkeys ( installed by autoneuter) but thought I'd share for those of you who don't know about it.
It's part of the stock B&N software.

As stated above its part of the B&N framework. Its actually a great setup except for its location. I love the notifications being a popup instead of a drag down.
BTW, there's a bunch of ways to get this same setting. In fact Extended Controls Widget has an orientation lock toggle that will handle that in one click if you want.
I can't find extended controls in the market... i've been using it on my Aria and wanted to use it for my nook too...?

Whenever the Play is plug into the DK300, it will automatically start the CLOCK application, and map the HOME button to CLOCK application. Is there anyway to prevent that or change the auto launch application?
Thanks in advance.
found my own answers - by using the software from market , dock nothingness OR Dock no-OP.
Thanks
thats good. i believe you can also change it from liveware manager in you pre-installed apps. if you go there you can see the dock (when its connected) and it has app launch and you can remove the clock app.
just you liveware manager.
I would get one if you could set it do a slide show and use it like a picture frame.
Or can you?

You can, actually. It's one of the features of the dock mode. It presents the images on your Gallery as a slideshow.
BTW, I can't find anything on LiveWire which allows you to set up the dock mode. Is it perhaps because I haven't updated the phone (and currently can't)?
At any rate, Dock Nothingness did what I wanted, which was the same as the OP. If I want to launch the clock app, I can do so by myself, thank you very much.

Lol that's what happened to me. I thought that after connecting the dock to my Xplay for the 1st time the dock would appear there on LiveWire, but it doesn't. xD
i started this post cos livewire does not have that option
anyway, enjoy your xperia play and push up my thanks meter please.

Is to possible to Fake Docking Mode?
It is not possible in the way it was with the OG DROID by use of magnets because the dock modes are now controlled through circuit boards inside the docks that signal the phone as to which mode it should go into.
Since there are no shortcuts in the app drawer either, this can make getting into desk mode and car mode difficult, but not impossible. I currently use ADW Launcher which allows you to create a custom shortcut on any home screen. If you were to select Activities, you get a list of all possible phone activities including all the different app activities. Among those app activities are of course the car and desk mode apps. This method also works with the Better Cut app if you are using the default launcher. So you can actually create a shortcut that will initiate one of the other modes. I hope this helps.

So can u actually access dock'd mode?
I know there is a way to by-pass the problem like you did in the og... you have to mod the apps to see when it fires which gives me an idea...

Which process? Whats the name?
If you tell me which app/launcher you are using (launcher pro, ADW, Better Cut), then I can give you a step by step.

i just don't know the name of the main dock process!?!?! :/
You CAN use a magnet, but you have to get just the right spot and it usually goes into desk mode, not car.

I have the maverick rom and when I put it in the car dock it switches to vertical mode (when it should be in horizontal mode) and wont auto fix until I remove it from the car dock....so weird.

When using the car mount, is there any way to keep the phone from going to the vehicle home screen? With the older droid mounts the removal of the magnet from the mount was possible, but I have not been able to find where the magnet or proximity sensor that controls this is located. I would like to keep it from defaulting to the vehicle home screen as I do not like the extra map stuff that I have to go through to get to the navigation app.
There are a few ways you can do this:
Root, install Titanium Backup, and freeze the CarDock app
Install Tasker and create a profile to kill the CarDock app when docked
Install an app like Dock No-Op or Dock Nothingness
I replaced the CarDock app with the AOSP one from CyanogenMod. It has an "exit" button.
I am also seeking for this, please suggest if you get any suggestion related.
Any advice invited. Thanks in advance.
I just set up a smart action to launch Car Dashboard app when it detects the vehicle nav dock. Works great. I like the default nav home screen, but I wish it had more than one screen and was customizable like the Bionic. I need to be able to get Google Navigation and Pandora on the menu and the Car Dashboard does it for me.
Car home ultra is a nice car dock app with lots of side screens.

I would agree about Car Home Ultra. It's my personal favorite out of all the one's I've tried. You can add apps, shortcuts, individual numbers to call and many other things.
Weird, in the home screen, when i move my an app right above the dock just right above it, it doesnt stay there but went straight down to the dock? anyone has this same issue? it was working fine on my s8+, tablet, both imported with the same save settings.
It happened to me once. In my case I had an e-mail widget that was taking up most of the page. Visually it looked like there should be enough space to put an icon above the dock, but it wasn't until I shrunk the widget that I was able to correctly add the icon. Hope this helps

I think you can go into Nova setting, under Desktop, either go to Advanced and turn on "Widget overlap" or under Desktop grid and check "Subgrid Positioning". I guess you can resize it too.
Hmm, im not using any widget, just a simple plain screen though. Tried Widget overlap, subgrid positioning was already enabled from previous settings and resizing, issue still remain.
