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.

[Q] Car Mode. What's it meant to do?

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.

[Q] CarDock Home Application

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!!

Gear and Tasker...

So what kind of tasks are you guys setting up on your gear ?
Just curious what people have come up with as I am looking for ideas...
Thanks
So far only internet on/off
Others have remotevoice working and shake to launch
Also can just trigger tasks
Next mine will be displaying notification counts on my watch
I just have it on the phone and Gear to enable BT tethering for 5 minutes every hour. That allows my calendar to stay in sync. I have a calendar widget in the home screen of my Gear.

I have mine set to fetch webcam shots of a few watering holes at different safari national parks (so far seen lion, elephants etc) but you can choose any live stream webcam
Also set it up with Joao apps AutoRemote, Auto contacts etc and can shake to voice call any contact by spoken name
Using EventGhost to get and send notifications and remote control my PC and other android devices
Can instantly share files in both directions with PC, other Android devices and Gear

I'm going to start a thread requesting people who are using tasker on the gear post the profiles they use on their gear to help those of us less familiar with the app to get rolling.

whats your phone?

lock device on boot

Hello, Im running a Malaysk ROM and I dont find a solution to lock the device on boot. For example requesting a PIN o similar way commonly used on the phones.
I booked a car park into airport for the next Saturday and they need to have car keys in order to could move the car. In that way, when they access the car, they also could access to the Radio so potentially they could read my email, calendar, chat and also using internet with my chrome saved password......
Any suggestion?
If you have your phone and are away from your car they have no access to its data. Maybe only your contacts if you uploaded them to the hu.

Yes but its not so hard to connect the radio to the park wifi or them phone tethering. Ty
Any answer on this?
Try Tasker with Secure Settings plugin. I've installed a switch in the ACC line and hidden it from view.

Switch to other apps after Android 7/Nougat?

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.

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.
