I presume otherwise, i.e. most service providers charge air time as if it were a voice call. This is the case with T-Mobile US at least. Nights and weekends are free data time - nice! 9kbps is not too bad to surf the net without graphics.

Nice App! I have just the problem that i just see the contacst without whatsapp information...
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
what do you mean with whatsapp info? in the contact when you tap on picture contact?

well if its that you can "swype" to left or foght in other icons and there its whats app, let me know, if you can add scfreenshot would be awesome :D
[Android Apps and Games] Paddi01:
No, in your app i see just 14 contacts from my adressbook (60 contacts). The 14 are the contacts without whatsapp informations in my "normal" contacts.

Oh, let me see i suppose im queryng the database but i guess shows only with google? mmm let me see if this happens :/

thanks!!

Great App so far, but i got a few questions...

When i start my navigation app (Navigon) and go back to the dashboard homescreen to make a call or something and then wanna go back to the Navigation screen by pressing the navi icon, Navigon restarts itself instead of bringing me back to the running navigation.

How can i prevent it?

Another thing: some of my shortcuts doesn't show up in the shortcut window after selecting. They're going to the phone homescreen instead

Can you please take a look at these issues??

otherwise a nice app!!

Car Dashdroid

Zen,

This looks like a nice app. I noticed that because I do not have a Car dock the app locks in one orientation. It needs to be unlocked for any orientation. I also noticed that startup seems a little slow but you did state that it is in Beta. Fix the orientation and I will start using it. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i will try fix the navigon issue with a intent to not restart (should work in the way its working but weird) about shortcuts its difficult because the developer of the shortcuts explicit put the icon in the home screen perhaps i will try to see if i can do anything, wich apps you had this problem?

yes its little slow because some stuff with loading contacts :S anyways you are using market version? that version seems faster, and yes i will unlock" the portrait soon, im working in "built in" music player after that i will make portrait layouts :)

Zen,

I need landscape rotated 180deg. I use landscape flipped for the power cord on a razr. Thanks I can't wait for the update. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
wow not sure if this is possible since android manage this =X so you need maybe cyanogenmod or a mod :( i cant dev for 180 degrees i only have portrait or landscape
[Android Apps and Games] Acousticbeatz:
it happens with the shortcuts of screen standby. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934495

another thing i noticed... i'm not able to place the widget of your app on my homescreen, if i try a window opens, saying the app is not installed.

I would be very grateful if you could iron out those issues

oh, and a little suggestion... is it possible to implement some media shortcuts (play/pause, skip tracks)? that would be awesome!

unlock oreintation in car dashboard app

I'm sure you can unlock it. I have other car dashboard apps that unlock it so it will rotate the screen to whatever position you want it in. Example app Car Dashboard by Mandariasoft
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Well the skip y next track I will work on that, I'm working in the built in media player, so far seems nice and Bluetooth compatible :D I don't have widget(yet)I need figure out why shows as widget LOL I I'm working every day in this but the media player it's difficult even when it's simple and not like commercial one, and that took all my time

Really ? Mmmm I need to download and maybe check manifest :p

[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Please let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] schwartz.matthew.e:
OK, so. Design is beautiful. Perfect. Gorgeous!

Layout is perfect!

Delivery is perfect.

What keeps me from using this all the time though would be seeing a notification for unread texts etc. Add that and it's about perfect. Pocket detection would be nice too so that the screen doesn't turn on if I haven't removed my phone from my pocket but I have connected to Bluetooth. That's a very big nit pick though. Lol.

Your work is excellent. I'll be throwing some help your way!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
well i though about notification reader, using 4.3+ i can read the notification and read, could annoy sometimes or could be kind of useless for some if you cant reply, and some users rate bad my app because "its not complete solution" for example music player, some user rating "1 star untl spotify its supported" and i tried avoid that , but i will improve
[Android Apps and Games] schwartz.matthew.e:
Meh. People are stupid bro.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
yeah, indeed :/
[Android Apps and Games] sanzoghenzo:
I installed your app yesterday after I had many troubles using the phone on my journey (not having a car dock made it worse)... and for what I see it seems really good at what it does!

I would like to see the notification reader, especially for sms, whatsapp and telegram incoming messages. Adding voice commands to be able to reply to the messages would be wonderful, too!

I would be glad to help you with the italian translation (I saw on play store you need help with that).

I will give you other feedbacks and a good rating on play store as soon as I'll be able to test it in a real world situation!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Thanks,a translation would be awesome, well I can do the notification reader, however reply it's not possible only if they implement an api or something,I can only read the notification.and add an option to choose what app you want to read
[Android Apps and Games] campersand:
I've been using this app for a couple days and like it, thanks for all the work you've put into it! I do have a few issues, though. First, whenever I add a shortcut for the app to my homescreen it somehow disappears within a couple hours. Super weird.

Also, is there a way to get it to return to the app when I press the home button?

And finally, it's kind of a bummer that the free version is both crippled and has ads. Usually it seems it's one or the other. I'd like to change the shortcuts on the first page but only one of them is changeable in the free version.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
HI, i will check the shortcuts issue, you mean in right the slots for shortcuts?shortcuts or apps? or both dissapear?

to return to home screen you can enable in settings (ad free users) and the ad free does not have ads, only when you buy firts time im kind of lazy to "remove" in that instance, however if you reboot the app the ads should dissapear
[Android Apps and Games] campersand:
Thanks for the quick response, zen. To clarify, i can always access the app from the app drawer, but when I long press the app icon and add it to my homescreen, it disappears after a while.

I'm not sure we understand each other on the other points. I'm not using the ad-free version (i.e., I didn't pay for the app). What I'm saying is that, with most apps, it seems like the free version either has diminished functionality OR has ads, but not both (as seems to be the case with your app). I could be wrong about this.

And, just to be sure, you're saying that in order to have the option of the home button returning me to the app, I'd need to upgrade to the paid version?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
oh i see i will check the shortcut issue :/

and i have an "hybrid" system , because people can use ad blockers and so on, so i did this :P

and yeah need pay for the home button :)
[Android Apps and Games] campersand:
Cool, thanks again for the responsiveness.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePanama:
Hi I love this app but the recent update has made the full screen music interface look boring and standard compared to the previous version which was awesome. Please change it back for the next update.

Otherwise it's a brilliant app.

Thank-you
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
you mean the music player? or wich one? what you dont like?
[Android Apps and Games] ThePanama:
Yes the inbuilt music player. In full screen it is now rather numb where as the previous one was acting of beauty
[Android Apps and Games] Aleemz:
The latest update of this app doesnt seem to save settings and keeps reverting to default settings.

Anybody else experiencing this?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
wich settings? thats are weird. can you tell me an example to "test"
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
Couple of things

1. Can you make it so when I use custom apps in the home screen (eg. Google maps for navi) I can still use the default icons. Makes it so much cleaner.

2. Can you make music contoller in home screen control apps like spotify

This will make this app near perfect for me.

Im assuming for auto start and close by bluetooth device is only available in ad free version?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
1.) i want implement "stock image" and custom image so its on my "TODO" list

2.) do you have any screenshot? just to "be in same channel"

and start/close are in free version :) check in settings :D
[Android Apps and Games] Aleemz:
The settings " Start the app on device connection" (bluetooth)

...and "Close the app upon bluetooth...."

In the previous version these settings were saved and worked 100%. It always connected when it connectedbto my car's bluutooth phone and disconnected when I left the car.

Now I often need to manually start the app, and manually disconnect. When i check the settings, the options above are no longer ticked/selected.

I have cleared cache and uninstalled/reinstalled now, so will test again this morning.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thats wierd, i need to check but maybe a new api from lollipop does not work as used to, i will check tomorrow, please let me know

EDITED: i just test it and works fine, check with another device, or try pair again the car BT since seems "working"
[Android Apps and Games] ThePanama:
It's all working fine on my note3
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
Thanks for the reply. I tried the app today for the first time on my way to work and it's amazing. I looks and feels better then my HTC car app I use to have.

The stock image would be awesome, I like how it's clean and simple. I use Spotify for my music and I just wanted the basic media controller to be able to play/pause and go to next track. Car Home Ultra has this function.

And one more thing, can you make it so you can choose the type of compasss, instead of the pin which just runs in circles, can you implement a letter compass (eg. N, S, E, W, NE etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
You can pick media controls in settings in widgets options
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
I've tried all the media widgets, none of them will control Spotify for play/pause and skip track
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
oh yea i tried to use generic controls seems not working and spotify has an SDK but its in beta, i need figure our other methods
[Android Apps and Games] rimarsa:
Hello works fine on my nexus 5,

Perhaps a paid version without advertising?
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Hi, you can go to settings and click in the ad free button :)
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
That would be awesome.

Can you possible add a compass with letters instead of the pointer/
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
After i got the ad free version. Im having the same problem. The setting will not save and i have to manually launch the app.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
thats weird, i will check again :/
[Android Apps and Games] Aleemz:
I've been testing out when this happens on mine. When I go into settings and select "Start the app on device connection" and then immediately exit from the settings menu, it saves ok. But if I select the setting " Start the app on device connection" and then scroll down to the bottom of the settings page, the setting " Start the app on device connection" deselects itself.

This happens every time I scroll down to the bottom of the settings page.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
ohhh i guess whats the problem, or could be, what android version you have? before the update i was using "my own" implementation of switchpreference, but for android 5 it does not look like new one so i revert this and i use stock switchpreference, and seems its kind buggy

looks at this

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26194

seems its the same issue, can you please tell me what android version you have and device please?

[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
seems its a bug on android, i will rollback to my own implementation, i thought that bug gone :/ or the other option its use checkbox instead switch
[Android Apps and Games] Aleemz:
Same here, that's the same phone and android version I use.

I can confirm the problem doesn't occur in Car Dashdroid version 2.2.9.
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
i removed mainly because some devices has issues with my own implementation of switch preference. i thought that nasty bug was resolved in latest verison of android.. im afraid not... well i will return to my own implementation instead Android
[Android Apps and Games] Aleemz:
Thanks, I'm going to buy the add free version to support this great app and developer!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
amazing!!!! thanks!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] leetnewt:
All good now.
[Android Apps and Games] jsgates:
Great Work!

+1 for this. I've have ditched Car Home Ultra for this and plan to purchase the ad free version. I love the Dialer since Google killed the landscape dialer in their phone app. I was having all kinds of issues with Car Home Ultra and Tasker on my Nexus 5 and this app looks nicer and works great.

I would like to keep the stock icons for custom apps on the home screen as well. I have noticed an issue with the speedometer in that it doesn't always return to 0 mph when I am stopped. It will still say 1 mph or 6 mph. When I start driving again it works fine.

Also, is there a way to have a navigation shortcut? Maybe I just don't know how to do this, but I want to start navigation with Google Maps or Waze without just going into the app. Thanks for the great work!

well i just uploaded a new version, i did a rollback for old switchpreference code so it should work now,im working in media controls, but i can't find android 5.0 framework.jar with classes.dex :( so i can't use new api's and hidden apis to make this possible :(

this is the new app,and please help me rating if you like my app or want help me with the support.

thank you. purchased the add-free version already!
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Thanks a lot in thinking what can replace the weather or maybe just clock?
[Android Apps and Games] AdamMarkTodd:
to replace the weather

just a clock would be ok but would not save real estate. choosing a 2 wide tile or a 1 wide tile would allow me to replace the weather with 2 app shortcuts and move the speedometer up to the top. allowing me to use the music widget AND the speedometer at the same time would be great. The music widget would replace the weather quite nicely.

thanks

[Android Apps and Games] homahohk:
It may have been asked before.... What's the different between the Amazon Appstore's version and Google Play's version?

They have different version number (3.4.7 on Amazon Appstore and 2.5.5 on Google Play) and slightly different icon.

Which one would be the latest version?

I am thinking to purchase the ad free version via Amazon, as I have some voucher for Amazon Appstore, but I am unsure if I should get it from there if it doesn't get updates as quick as the Google Play version...
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Well I could not make a proper merge between play store and Amazon because I have to change packages names because Google pull the version so the latest at the moment it's play store one ,I will try this weekend merge with Amazon
[Android Apps and Games] homahohk:
Thanks for the response, I have purchased the play store version now...

A few suggestions (not sure if these have been mentioned before):

Add option to customise app / shortcut icons

When the 'start the app on device connection' function is enabled, provide extra option to disable app autostart when the device is not docked. (when I am driving for short journey, I may not dock the phone but simply keep it in my pocket. Ideally the phone would not turn itself on when it is sitting in my pocket)

Add option to automatically start 3rd party app when Car Dashdroid starts
[Android Apps and Games] zen kun:
Sounds interesting, the docked one seems a little difficult
