I'm using an unrooted Xtrons PF series Headunit. MTCD version running 5.1
I'm trying to add a task with Macrodroid that either kills Spotify or the radio when one or the other is launched.
As it stands, I'm unable to kill the radio task with the macro.
Any ideas or tips?
Cheers.
I did try this, I am very much a beginner when it comes to android, I found that killing the radio process just spawned a new one every time and didn't effect the audio output. At present I am limited to using the back button in the radio to turn it off every time. If you find a way to do this I would be interested.
Could anyone pull the code for the action of the back button and see if we can do a work around for it?
I've tried practically every action in the list to no avail

It is not so easy to track through a hread that has two different problems in the same thread.
There are several existing threads regarding the camera and how to improve photographs. It also would have been helpful if you had included more information. What exactly is the problem, focus, lighting, night photos, day photos, close-ups????
Regarding the programs closing. Are you sure you are putting the phone into sleep mode and not giving the on/off button a long press and actually turning the phone off?
Have you checked that the programs are not just minimised and in fact are still running?
Again to be of help here it would be useful to have examples of programs that do this?

If i tap the power button to put it to sleep if i have a program running it closes... For instance if i have music playing and my screen goes black and i hit the power button so it comes back on my music program stops and exits
Has it always done this?
Is the application eg music player really closed or still in running programs?
Have you installed any task manager sofyware?
Did you install any new software prior to getting this problem?
Mike
no this just started i recentley updated the firmware to the new htc..... my music stops playing but the app os still running. And when i try the temp camera fix by pressing the power button the camera closes.

To be honest, I cannot think of a reason for this. I cannot really see that the new HTC firmware would cause it either. The only things that occur to me are that it is some software that's loaded that has either changed a registry entry or is an app that is constantly running such as a today plugin or shell application. Possibly even a task manager setting.
If there has not been a recent software installation and the OS update did not exactly co-incide with the fault, then I would be tempted to try a hard reset. If that still failed, I'd re-flash the ROM or even a different one.

Hello Guys,
before Froyo it was possible do "disable" the Car mode by deleting the CarHome.apk.
But since Froyo, if you delete this apk, the Phone still switches to CarMode in the CarDock....
And maybe thats a reason for the loudness problem in the Cardock...
Does anyone know how i can disable the Carmode Completely?
thanks a lot
Install "dock nothingness" from market.
Also you have posted in the wrong forum. If it is a question, it goes to Q&A forum.
ive noticed as well, since 2.2 i havent been able to adjust the audio when it is docked in the car, is that just me? I use audiomanagerpro but i also tried to adjust the media volume from the settings menu as well
I'm so happy to KILLED the evil Car Mode - here's how
Car Mode would pop up constantly on my HTC Incredible 2. It had nothing to do with the usb. Most times, the phone wasn't even plugged it and Car Mode would still pop up and Yes, I could click on it and disable it. For about 5 secs, then it was back. The worst part was that it would force-close the program that I was in to launch. It took me about 8 hours of research. Car Mode is a system app, and therefore can not be removed like other applications. You have to root your phone then delete, freeze or rename. Ok by me, but rooting apparently isn't stable yet for the Incredible 2 if you have a later os version than 2.2. Guess what? I have 2.3. No problem, how do i revert. Oh, i find out, you can't without resetting the phone to factory, which by the way is what verizon support suggested. I thought not before I back up, but lo and behold you can't back up more than contacts and pics without rooting. Arrrrgh! Next, I looked for an app to help me battle this devil Car Mode, so I tried apps from Amazon and market:
Advanced task killer Free
Astro
Gemini App Manager
Dock Nothingness
Dock no-op
Disable car home
and NONE of them worked, at least not for the Incredible 2.
I had a new idea, if you can't beat them, join them so I installed the latest version of Car Dock Home, hoping that at least it would give the option to not launch. Nope, didn't work. Luckily, I'm good at my job just because I don't give me 'easily'. Anyway, finally on my 14th try, I used 'DockNothing Free' from Amazon. At first, I didn't think this worked either. There was no input screen or settings but that's because the app doesn't initiate until the Car Mode launches, then it allows you to choose to select DockNothing as the default program. I had to do that 3 times: 1) Car Panel 2)Car Dock 3)Home Dock. Now I actually see a little popup that says 3 tasks killed. YEA!
Sorry for the long post, but I'll bet if you're here, you are going crazy because of Car Mode. And I read a lot more than just this much to get mine fixed.
ps. Car Mode actually looks pretty neat and seems useful IN THE CAR. But I have been too afraid to release the monster to check it out. I might at the next update. Might....
interesting, i love car mode in the car, no idea why yours is coming up while not in one lol
patience, htcdev website just released the unlock bootloader over the web for the uk sensation today, should probably hit for the other htc phones soon
Im having the same issue here on a desire z.. The Dock nothingness and simmilar applications doesn't help with the "car mode" at all
it just replaces the "Car Home" App
It's the "Car Mode" that is the problem for me atleast.
when the phone enters/exits car mode the phone always returns to the homescreen.
Any progress on disabling this?
I got rid of it on my Desire by adding a shortcut to the homescreen and choosing Settings > Car Dock and then unticking Auto Launch. I never saw car mode again so it either fixed it or it was a coincidence.
Good morning. I have been having a particular, repeated issue since the last google maps update (7.0.2). Whenever I get into my truck I put my One in the OEM dock and it goes into "car" mode. Overall I love this app and find it incredibly efficient at doing its job.
However, since the last update from Google maps (which is also pretty indredible) I have been having a very specific error, that I believe is related to HTC's car mode. If I start navigation though the car dashboard and some event happens that pulls it from navi to the dashboard (i.e. a call comes in or a message) then when I return to navigation it again asks me to select the destination and I have to hit start. This will cause a "maps stopped working" error about 75% of the time.
What I believe is happening is that maps is already navigating but when in car mode you have to click on the "navigation" icon to get back to it, and it tries to launch another instance or over itself. This will also happen if I start navigation while not docked (i.e. walking to my truck) and docking, then launching the app. Also, maps is the one app that actually leaves car mode (you can see the system tray and then navigate to other non car mode apps) and I believe this is the root of the issue.
Since the car mode is (I believe) part of Sense, this would seem to be something specific to this. I thought there would be lots of inquiries into this but could find none. Thoughts?
I'm getting this too. It's deeply annoying and quite dangerous when going down the motorway. Considering going back to previous version.

It's an issue with the new Maps app. It sucks balls. I have those issues and I don't have the car dock.
Take a call or something else then when you try to go back to nav by selecting it from the notification panel, it does nothing or crashes or takes you to regular map and have to restart your route.
I hate it. It's pretty but so buggy. I reloaded the old version.

I am also having same problem. UN installed update and gone back to the much better old version
Hi, I hate to just jump into a new forum with a "cry for help", but I have been trying to get to the bottom of this issue and someone suggested that I post about it here. I am wondering if anyone has seen the following issues or has any insight into what might be the cause and/or a solution?
I apologize in advance for being long winded, but I am hoping the more infor I provide the more likely someone will be able to help me.
Since I got my (original) Moto X in December the driving mode worked most of the time. It wasn't until somewhere between or around the contextual services update and the subsequent Assist update that I noticed the problem, it could have been there before, but i became very aware of it once I noticed that my assist was not "learning" my cars bluetooth as described in the update. Since then I have noticed that assist recognizes when I am driving 1/3-1/2 the time at best. I have gone through motorola tech support and they tried clearing all related data, reinstalling apps and even a factory reset, nothing eliminated the problem for more than a day or so. They replaced my phone despite me insisting it's not a hardware issue. New phone has the same symptoms. Here are the symptoms and what I have tried.
-When it works it takes 1-5 minutes usually, it used to kick in within seconds of being in motion.
-Works >80% of the time if i go somewhere first thing in the AM after it's been charging or after a power cycle.
-Works ~50-75% of the time if I begin to drive again after it works once so long as it's after a fairly short stop.
-Fails to recognize driving 75-90% of the time if I have been in one place for a long period of time (ie after leaving work or running an errand after being home most of the day)
-Toggling "talk to me" under assist driving options while driving sometimes gets it to kick in.
-Opening google maps will kick it in sometimes as well.
-When it's not working I've had my wife watch it in the car and it will show the location services icon in the top as though it is checking, but not kick on.
-I am not using any task killers, I have tasker installed, but I have deactivated it.
I have been trying all kinds of different scenarios to isolate what the problem is so if there is anymore info i can provide to help make it clearer I probably have it so please ask.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
-Kev
You're describing my phone exactly except I can get Drive Assist to turn on every time if I use the app called GPS Status before I start driving. I think it has something to do with the GPS.

I have a thread about what is likely related to this on both xda and moto support forums. I will link in the morning, but I just **** this [poor quality] video this evening, it seems to demonstrate the issue.

Is this a known bug with all moto x phones or just a few. Is it futile to return the phone?

Exchanging seems futile, perhaps 4.4.2 will help but that's just blind hope which is worthless
Here is a link to the other XDA thread. I still need to update and link the Moto Support thread too.

I'm currently using Home Assistant ... But to be honest it seems like it started off as an idea to consolidate and integrate all my devices into a nice single "Smart Home"... However it seems to have become more of a time vacuum... I'm spending more and more time fixing (or trying to fix). Issues that arise. Has anyone had any joy making any "set and forget" home automations using Tasker and Alexa/Autovoice ? Any ideas welcome. I want to do things like cast a certain video to my little boys TV at a certain time at night. Trigger my lights/ power on my pc when I arrive home. So like I say any ideas would be great
