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!!

Hey folks,
I have an issue I'm oping someone can help me with. When I visit the market, I can only see a few options when looking at the selected apps. Only the top paid, or top free show up. May be something simple, I just cant figure it out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Once the search results pop up, turn your NC to landscape and more will load as you scroll. No scrolling in portrait mode. Kind of a bug...
turn it landscape or install app brain market.
This is due to some issue with market on our large screen in portrait mode only shows 10.
I also have a question. Is there any way to change the build.prop to allow the full market? I know its possible cause I changed it on my rooted DX but it doesn't work on the NC.

Thanks for the input. I figured it was something simple that I was missing.

What is this app about?
Can be closed after answered ;-)
Thanks!
It makes the basic functions such as contacts, music, phone, navigation easy to access by making big buttons. So you don't have to concentrate on finding shortcuts on your homescreens or in the menu.
Works pretty good when in a car cradle.
This car app is an custom lg app, the standard app is cuatomisable and has multiple screens. It looks like lg edited the android 2.1 version instead of the 2.2 > version. I hope they will change this in the update, so I can place others apps in the car kit app, like traphic jam info.

If I rrmember correctly first time I docked my phone, it asked me what app do I want to run at dock. And default app was sense me library. Dunno why you did choose tunein in the first place. There should be dock setting which you could change it I guess

I find a solution to this problem
Just set the event in Sony Smart Connect as show in attach screenshot and it will stop Tune In Radio or any other apps from launching automatic when connected to the charging dock.
I have this same problem too. It launches 500PX. I have no Tunein radio installed in my phone.
Mine launches Tune In also. I never selected it in the dock menu but it starts up every time.
It seems to be a problem with the way Android handles the startup of dock apps according to TuneIn...see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2208666
Had the same problem.
Emailed TuneIn and this is their reply.
Ended up just uninstalling the app.
Was giving me wake/sleep problems when I charged my phone...
Hello,
Thanks for contacting us. One of the features of the Android OS is that an application can be automatically started as soon as the device is plugged into a dock. If you have multiple applications that support this feature, you will be given an option to select which one you'd like to always start. If you only have one application (e.g. TuneIn) that supports this feature, it will automatically start when you connect to the dock.
We at TuneIn cannot allow control over this feature once we've enabled it's use. Other listeners have informed us that there are 3rd party applications available for Android devices that allow you to have finer control over this feature of the Android OS.
Sincerely,
Michelle

"Dock No Op" from Play Store works for me.
Also tried "Invisible Dock" but it gives me a splash screen which I don't like.
Sorry newbie, can't post links..
You can disable this by going to the smart connect menu and rechoosing what you want at startup when you dock your phone... Or simply have it do nothing. Good luck!

Turn off the charging dock from smart connect.

Hello
Before Nougat upgrade I could switch to other apps while using Android Auto on my Nexus 6P. Or maybe I only could do it when I still had my LG G4? Can't remember.
Yesterday I had started Android Auto and after that I was going to start an app that I use to listen to audiobooks. I could not do this, I could not get away from AA. So I ended up stopping Android Auto and just used Google Maps instead to navigate so I still could control my phone.
Does anyone know any trick to start other apps when AA is started?

That's how aa works on my z5 mm - exiting car mode (to interact on the phone) ends aa.
I can control certified apps from my head unit.
Yes, it is supposed to work like that. It's not exactly the way I like it but that't how it works. But there might be a way around it for you.
I use iCoyote (a radar app) on my phone and before I connect the phone to Android Auto, I start that app. When Android auto has completed the connection with the car, I am able to put the app back on screen using the status bar. Of course, this only works for apps that are visible in the status bar but I suspect that will be the case with your audiobook app.
A better solution for you however, is to switch to another audiobook app that supports Android Auto. I haven't tried one yet but there are plenty of audiobook apps available in the app store that have support for Android Auto so you won't need to control the app on your phone anymore.
I figured out a workaround. Open Now on Tap and do what you need to do from there.
(start it by long-pressing home button)

Quite an old thread, but have you tried pressing the headphone button twice? Then I can switch to other apps.

I'm using the app Tiles to start app from quick settings now. Works great.

Does Tiles work with Android Auto, i.e. on the display of the head unit?

No, but it lets you start an app on your phone even though you're not supposed to be able to do that while using AA.
This sucks though, because if you have a passenger in the car it is of course OK do this, or if you have stopped the car.
On my S7E, I just tap the recent key, then the home key immediately afterwards to go back to Nova Launcher. I have to use that button sequence every time, but it works reliably.
I really hope they don't 'fix' this 'problem' when 7.x hits these phones. I find the verbal message narration to be quite unacceptable.
Luckily, I have a N7 in my daily driver, so this is mostly a moot point for me, but could be a concern when I get my model 3.
