Hi,
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 in-car dock and am very impressed with it.
Trouble is, when I connect the mains power (slide the base up) the voice disappears and 'Voice command'' appears ?
I'm sure there's an easy remedy .....
Many thanks

Sorry, It's any app (Google & Sygic I'm using) and the dock is the genuine Samsung windscreen mounted dock with charging port.
try this application
I have sygic navigation too, but I haven't got a dock, I only have a simple holder. My custom ROM have the DockSetting and I found alternative app for you.

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.
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.
I use the Hale Dreamer alarm clock app and dock. When the dock is plugged into the headphone jack, it auto launches the alarm clock app and allows the dock to control brightness and volume of the phone. I think it does this through a proprietary protocol through the microphone jack (the dock is TRRS). This is the companion app that I think makes it work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonrlabs.docksignal.
On the stock XT1096 ROM, the app launches fine and the control works through the dock. On CM12.1 or CM13 the app doesn't launch and there's no control from the dock. Does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this? Would it make sense to capture the logcat on the stock ROM when the dock is plugged in to see what gets called? I haven't done that before, but it seems like a place to start, although I don't know what I would do with the info. I've searched and haven't found any other posts on this (anywhere). The company also hasn't responded to multiple support requests.
