vechile home screen/car mount question

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.

[Q] How to make a Smart Action STOP?

So this is something that's been bugging me for a while. I like the idea of Smart Actions, and the Vehicle Mode app is kind of neat. But it's really annoying that it won't quit that app when I leave the car.
The Smart Action is set as:
Triggers: I'm paired to a Bluetooth device (the car stereo)
Actions: Launch an app (Vehicle Mode)
Set GPS On, Adjust My Volume, Auto Reply to Texts, Announce Calls and texts.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the phone auto-quit the Vehicle mode app.
Maybe I'm missing it?
Seems like having Smart Actions is kind of gimped without the ability to "untrigger" any actions that are taken!
EDIT: Typo in title correction

Try to create another acctions, when the paired to bluetooth device (the car stereo) are off, actions, turn off the apps.

No I don't want them turned off, I want the ability to stop a smart action launched app on certain conditions.

The problem is, when you select an action to perform, you can launch an app but there's no option called "stop an app".
So I have Smart Actions for Home, Driving, and Work. I could have Home and Work triggered by WiFi or GPS location, and have them open apps if I wanted, but I don't for those locations. I just want the vehicle mode app to quit.

What I want is...
I get in the car, it starts Vehicle Mode. I get out (or get home or to work, it quits Vehicle mode.

Set a smart action to turn vehicle mode off when blue tooth disconnects.

App Notification Settings - Vibrate

I tend to not have vibrate on out night especially this phone, the vibrate is quite loud and the curved back doesn't help when the phone is on my bedside cabinet.
I switched to sound only in sound settings but to my surprise it still vibrated when I received a text via stock sms app, I guess the same would happen if I received a whatsapp message.
Does anybody know how to easily turn off ALL App specific vibrate settings in go? Or would I have to go into each individual app to switch it off?
Thanks

Great timing, I was just about to post the same question (if it's an answer you want the best I can offer is "No, I don't think you can, at least I haven't found out how, which is why I'm here").
For me it's the alarm, a nice tune to wake up to is great but it's not so nice when the phone spazzes out and bounces all over the cabinet like a runaway chainsaw (over dramatic, moi?). I've not found anything to turn it off and it's really annoying.

Bit of a design flaw really, surely the overall sound settings should be the master, but a setting should allow you to override it via app, I.e if on it allows app settings to use it's own sound settings if off it goes by the master. Maybe that's expecting too much.

It's worse than that, I don't have vibration switched on for anything, the sound profile is "Normal" (as opposed to Vibrate or Silent) and my in-app settings also have it turned off wherever there's an option to do so but the alarm still sets it off.

I suffer from the same....

I tied to install the GE HD3.2 and it has an option to get the alarm without vibration.
when I switched back to Revolution 20.2 this option disappeared......

Just push the stock GE clock app to your system/app folder and set correct permissions and you can turn vibrate off on any Sense ROM ... Best way is to just flash that app in custom recovery, I will post it if anybody requires.

[Q] Which app can I use to set volume for specific apps when launched?

Hello. I am looking for an app I can use to auto set the volume for Scout, (my gps app), to high when started, then revert the volume back to the way it was when the app is stopped.
Is there anything out there like that? There should be, right?
I currently use Volume Locker just to lock my ringer volume, but it appears that app doesn't have the functionality I'm looking for.

have you tried Volume Control +
or there is always Tasker

Tasker is definitely the one.
Thank you.

Separate volume control for notifications and flashlight.

I am testing out a Moto Z Force (coming from a Nexus 6P) to see if I can handle switching without having root. And a couple of things I am missing already. Is there anyway to break out the volume controls and have a separate control for ringtone and a separate one for your notifications like sms? I hate having the same volume control for ringtone and sms. Next, I miss my "power menu". Is there anyway to get the flashlight option by pressing and holding the power button down?
I know these are not big deals...just seeing if I can fix them

@darkcyber20 I don't know of a way without having root privileges to ruin the volume controls.
For the flashlight though, Moto has baked in a gesture for quickly enabling it. It's a double chop motion. Look in the Moto app, in the section called Actions.

Well, crap! Why do these phone manufactures think people want to have the same volume level for their ringtone as for their text app? Thanks for the information! The ringtones and notifications sounds are considerable lower than my Nexus 6P

I personally hate the separate ringtone/notification volume controls. That was one thing that seriously annoyed me about the Sammy phones I have owned. I'd lower the volume with the side buttons then get blasted by a notification tone.

I like separate volume controls. I use an app to set the volumes/vibration appropriately for the situation.
Also, it should be easy to allow the volumes to be linked if desired. Someday we will have the best of both worlds.

The app I use is called Audio Profiles. Unfortunately it does not have the ability to set different volumes for the ring tone and the notification unless the phone allows it. I had the LG G5 and the Note 7 (for a few days) and it worked with both of those. It won't work with the Moto Z family. My comment that you quoted simply meant that it shouldn't be that hard for the software to allow either separated or linked ring and notification tones.
However, my notification tone is OK. There is a known issue with the notification tones being hosed. It seems to be sort of random. When I was trying to select a tone, I could not hear some of them so I selected one that was a good volume. Not sure if you are able to pick one that sounds OK. Some folks can and some cannot. Hopefully this will be resolved with the next update.
Also, Audio Profiles is not perfect. Sometime it doesn't give you the profile you selected. It is better than 95% with my experience which isn't bad. I had a hard time finding one that worked at all. I used to use Tasker, but gave that up.

I can barely hear my notifications. guess i have an affected device.
good news is a new one is on its way. mine came out of the box with a bad LCD, (black spot top left corner) and moto sent me a new device already. hopefully it doesnt have that audio bug. its driving me nuts

Got my new Device today. Same issue with the sound. Might have to call moto to try and make another claim And get a non updated device. This came with the latsst update pre installed unfortunately.
