i must be missing a file or something, but when docked my droid 3 will not go into dock mode - does nothing - any ideas?
There's an app for that.
But really. Marketplace.

I can't get mine to dock either - If you fixed this, I would love to know what you did.
with tasker this works;-) or
when you plug the droid3 in dockinstation, switch a menu with four points? in liberty rom comes these menu and point free is: focused opened app, mark this for standard and the dock mode doesn't starts

I am running KaosFroyo v35.1 and was trying to download the Square app from the market, but it doesn't look like I can download it using Froyo. Does anybody know how I can get it from the market or maybe someone can send me the .apk?

You can't download it on KaosFroyo v35.1? That's weird 'cause I've been using it on my small business eversince version 30 on KaosFroyo. What do you mean with "doesn't look like I can download it using Froyo"? The app can't be downloaded? You can't see it in the Market? Or what?
If you can't see it in the Market, search for the Eris Market Fix. Follow the instructions. Reboot and clear Market data in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > Clear Data
I read somewhere that there was an issue where most people running 2.2 would not be able to download the Square app. I tried looking in the market and it does not show up, even after the market fix.
edit: I did a dalvik wipe and now it shows up on the market thank you!
I'm glad you got it have fun swiping!

I've got it, but it keeps telling me to "Please Swipe Again". Any ideas?

When you plugged the square, did you see a "key" logo poped out?
You should swipe the card fast and straight.
Yes, I saw the key. Still not working.

Same issue here, after a few emails being sent back and forth between Square and I they told me the Eris is not an officially supported device
They did offer some support in saying to plug the device in slowly. Doing this I have been able to get it to work a few times.
Well, that stinks.
Gotta give this a shot! Nothing like saving on fees!

Not true buddy.. it works on my Eris running on KaosFroyo 3.7.
Here's what you do.
1) Plug in your square device
2) Go to advanced task manager or any task killer and make sure you kill any media player that runs automatically when you plug a device into the headphone jack
3) Adjust your volume once... up or down does not matter what level
4) Run Square app
5) Now swipe the card fast and straight. It only works one way.. the metallic strip of your card facing the square device smooth surface (not the surface with the square logo)
Cheers. Let me know if it still doesn't work for you.
I was looking for an app and it didn't show up on my Xoom.... so I looked via my home pc, and it's there, but it won't let me install it for the Xoom. (It's the app to listen to 93.3 WMMR in Philly - app name - WMMR)
I've only had my Xoom for a couple days... and it's my first android device, so I've rather green when it comes to how to do things....
Is there a way to kindof force install it? Or download it to my pc and then install it somehow via the usb cable?
some apps just will not work yet with honeycomb, so even if you get it to install don't be too surprised if it force closes.
Cool! Thanks!
I found an app - TuneInRadio - and that seems to work really well and has the station. But I'll see if their app works.
So I finally got sick of my two cheap 3rd party car docks and bought the Samsung one. (which in hindsight I should've done in the first place as it totally justifies it's cost)
But when I connect my Tab, the notification bar shows a "Car Mode" steering wheel icon but nothing launches. (with the 2 cheap docks, the Car Mode notification didn't ever appear)
There's nothing called "Car Home" in the apps drawer nor can I find it in/with Titanium Backup Pro
Can anyone confirm its working for them, and let me know what's meant to happen?
Running Overcome GB RC2...
Car Home is an app with shortcuts to Maps, Navigation, Contacts and Messages (I think) so you can choose common apps you need while in the car. You should be able to get it from Samsung Apps.

Ok, while poking around in my system/app folder I found a CarHome.apk, but I don't find in listed under my installed apps. So I tried to install where it was, and I moved it to the sd card and tried to install it from there. Both times it said "Application not installed". Any guesses on how I might be able to get this to install? I'd really like to be able to use it.

It is installed already...kinda. through Adw launcher, long press on the home screen click custom shortcut, pick activity, activities, scroll down to car home and expand it and then click on Car Home (.CarHome)
I'm sure other launchers other than stock can do this too, but I don't have them to test them and give the step by step...

Yep, came right up with ADW. Thanks! Now if I could figure out how to get it working with go launcher. Maybe I'll email the author...
Yea, I dled go and didn't see it real quick. Sorry can't help more. :-\

Got a home screen icon working as per the instructions here. Hmm... I wonder if lg didn't add the launcher apk because the car home screen is supposed to come up automatically when the phone enters "car mode"...
Update
Looking at VZW's accessories for the revo shows a car "Navigation Mount" that looks pretty phone specific. I'd imagine that there's a magnet embedded in there that switches the phone to car mode. Now if I can just find a magnet lying around here somewhere....
Hello everyone! I currently own a DROID 3 flashed with SteelDroid's 3.0 ROM. At the moment I am experiencing an auto-rotate issue when I place my D3 onto the car mount. For example, the car dock application rotates correctly, however, whenever I have my phone app or navigation app, it doesn't rotate 90 degrees. Anyway to fix this? If anyone has any documentation on how to do so, please link me...I will take it from there.
Also! chevycam incorporated the ICS music apk in his rom...when i try to access the music shortcut in the car dock apk it causes a force close issue. anyway to fix that? i would greatly appreciate anyone's input on this matter.
THANK YOU!
1) my Car dock does this too, I'm going to look into it probably over the weekend.
2) the music shortcut is still trying to open the old music app, so when it doesn't find it, it force closes. You can also scroll to the side and make your own shortcut for the new music app.

Same problem here with auto-rotate. Was not an issue in SD2. Possibly power notification widget?

Yeah I ended up using a third part music app. Question, do I edit .apks with eclipse (doesn't have to be eclipse) so I can attempt to fix the music app location f/c issue? Seriously, let me know how I can help since you'll be looking into this yourself dpwhitty.

Anyone have an update on this, I have the same problem with the car dock.
I switched back to steeldroid 2.0...no issues there. I wish I could find the source of the problem...sorry

Liberty 3.0 works fine also.
it must not be reading the magnet position correctly. D3 still relies off of the magnet to identify dock status. i've verified this with a pendant and no dock. if the screen is set to NOT auto-rotate, and the keyboard is closed, maps/nav, etc., will always be portrait. apply a correctly positioned/polarity magnet and landscape is invoked.
Any fix for this yet?
There's an app on the market that allows you to force rotation on individual applications. Its my new best friend!!
