Have a look on the market for

Wheres my droid

A simple text can set off the ringer, enable gps and txt you location etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] skyworxx:
tasker sounds interesting, does it need root?

Wheres my Droid is exactly what I'm looking for, but it would be great if I could activate it by mail and not by phone only (cant send mails to a phone number in germany)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] courtmagician:
Tasker doesn't require root, I don't think there's anything it does that would require it (could be wrong, I do have root, but it's not listed as a requirement). I don't think it handles emails, though, either. But I'd say you can call it and use Tasker to handle the call from a specific number. I checked and nothing else comes to mind as a way to find it, but it's worth testing out if you think you can use Tasker for other things (I have alarms, various profile changes, app events, headphone plugins, etc) - with some work, it does replace several programs I was using. Haven't lost my phone, though :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] skyworxx:
On the tasker website, it lists "Email (K9)" as a compatible event - does that mean emails through the Gmail App will work as well?

Is it possible to update apps in a stock ROM when its rooted?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If there's an update for an app you can just install the APK and it'll update the existing app

I want to update the Gmail app in my stock 2.2 with 2.2.1 version. But it wont let me. Any ideas on how?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
Not quite. If the application is in the /system partition, the update will be installed in /data and will superseed the version in /system. You will then have two versions of the app on your phone, one in /system and one in /data. This because /system is read-only. Android will know to run the new version.

This is how it works from the Market (the recent Google Search update comes to mind). Not sure how you would go about replacing the GMail app, though...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registered1:
You could just push the app through adb. Install the android sdk, change into the Tools directory of the sdk, copy gmail.apk in this directory, boot your phone into recovery and connect USB. Then open command prompt in tools directory and Type:

adb shell mount system

adb push gmail.apk system/app
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
What happens to the old gmail.apk which already is there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registered1:
It gets overwritten. If you want to backup it first, you pull it first to have a Backup:

adb pull system/app/gmail.apk gmail_old.apk

Then you have a backup in your tools directory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
And will the new one be installed by itself?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] registered1:
Yes, after rebooting the new ver should be installed. Probably you also have to format dalvik cache- just try it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:

Guys,

Couple of Questions.

1. The stock video player is fine, except it doesn't remember the location in the video. Everytime you start the player, it starts from the begining. Any way to make it remember the location, or other alternatives?

2. How to stop the Media Scanner from running when you disconnect from PC or restart the phone. It takes a good 5-6mins, and stops you from using the Gallery during that time?

Thanks for your input.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
1) can't really help you there with the defaults, try DoubleTwist ?

2) Media scanner will run as long as TouchWiz is running, AFAIK
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The newer ROMs seem to have fixed the Media Scanner issue - but since they have other issues, I am going to wait for an official release - I rarely reboot my phone or mount my SD card.

There are other Video players in the market - try some of them. If I pause a video and exit the video player, but come back later - the video i was watching starts at the spot i paused it. I guess this probably doesn't stay across a power cycle. I am not sure if any video player will.
[Captivate General] aglebot:
I've been using Meridian for both video and music and have been pretty happy. For video it will remember where you stopped (per video, and across power cycles). It even has an option to always rewind 3 seconds when coming back from another app.
[Captivate General] hkk:
Thanks for the replies. Will try Meridian.

As for the Media Scanner, it's not just after power cycle that it comes up, but also after I disconnect from PC.

I remember seeing a video that showed how to disable TW on Epic and Fascinate, but that didn't work for Captivate. Anyone else know how to disable TW, and what other things does that change? (contacts, messaging???)

I have been waiting months to post this, the Seidio car kit is now available for order !!! Yay.....I have been a fan of their products for years now and they have good customer service as well. I will post a full review once I receive it on Monday. Cannot wait to take it apart and mount this with my AMPS mount in my dash, even though the suction cup looks good...I hate them.

Cradle:

- Charges and securely holds your EVO 4G in portrait mode

- Swivel into landscape mode for wider map viewing

- Features our signature soft touch coating for a smooth feel

- Removable accessory plate for use with our Innocase II Surface, Innocell 3500mAh Extended Life Battery and Innocase Extended

- Charge external devices or accessories with the Mini-USB output and optional Mini-USB (M) to USB (F) adapter

Mount:

- High quality German mount

- Features a large suction cup with a suction lock for extra security

- Has a ball joint that allows for multiple viewing angles

- Extends from 5.25 inches to 6.75 inches

- Stabilizes vibrations caused by moving vehicles

- Comes with an industry standard locking plate that is AMPS pattern compatible and a self-adhesive plate for mounting on your dashboard
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I ordered mine yesterday (Fedex 2-day) I plan on using the AMPS mount also. I love the idea that it will work with or without my Seidio 3500mAh battery as well and most of all I won't have to plug my phone in anymore.
[EVO 4G Accessories] rahb0sse:
Only bad thing I've read that sitting horizontal is nothing something it may be able to do ... please post pics, etc after you receive it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Looking at the mounting system it looks like it could swing horizontal but the phone might slide out..not sure. Since mine will be vertical that really isn't an issue for me but unless the OP gets pics up before me, I'll post some.
[EVO 4G Accessories] corwinmortac:
I cannot wait to see how it does horizontal as well, love watching TV at lunch ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] amcfarla:
The information for the holder says the following on their website:

"Swivel into landscape mode for wider map viewing"

so it looks like the mount will be able to be used in portrait or landscape position.
[EVO 4G Accessories] amcfarla:
Looking forward to the review, really interested in this if it lives up to the expectations.

[EVO 4G Accessories] jungleland:
What is the AMPS mount and where do I find it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] corwinmortac:
AMPS Mounting plates are ISO Rated standard mounting plates used by most of the large car mfg's and or high end dash mount products. The ISO rating to this style of plate assures that a mfg is going to have the same standard size screw holes and location of the holes to match the backing plate to the device holder. These type of hard mounts allow for a very sturdy mounting location and in some instances can look very OEM due to how they mount into the dash brackets around the stereo. I have the screw mount, found it on GPSCITY . com and they have some cool videos there showing how rugged these mounts are.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Mine arrived at Fedex around 9:00am this morning which is just two blocks from where I am but they won't let me pick it up until tomorrow. So here's the run down..

9/8 5:46pm - placed order online and paid for 2day delivery

9/10 5:27pm - received notification package has shipped from Seidio

9/13 7:48pm - tracking indicated my package arrived at Fedex in my town (which is only two blocks from me). Package is scheduled to be delivered at my house tomorrow 9/14 by 4:30pm. I have called to request counter pickup from their facility.. 10mins later I received a call back in which I was informed they cannot release my package until tomorrow 9/14 after 9:00am.

[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I just picked mine up about an hour ago. I am at work so I can't get pictures until later today. I have to admit there is nothing cheap about this kit. It's very solid and yes, it works horizontally. I put my phone in it, turned it upside down and shook it...it's not going to fall out easily. The cellphone holder/charger is not as big as it looks in the pictures, but the arm that mounts the holder/charger is massive yet very flexible. So far I am impressed with it. Especially like that I can still use the mount with my Seidio 3500mAh battery!
[EVO 4G Accessories] RobSoLF:
It'll probably be ok, though I'd recommend not keeping it in direct sunlight all day. I wouldn't do that with your average GPS, either.

One thing though, is that the Evo smart charges. That is, if the battery temp passes about 120 degrees, the phone stops charging to keep it from burning up. And it could do this on a hot day in direct sunlight. I prefer to keep it mounted next to the rear view mirror, out of sunlight. No probs there, except the mount I use now kinda suxx.

Getting this mount along with the 3500 battery in the mail tomorrow. Can't wait!

The horizontal thing: fellers, you've been plugging this thing in to charge at least as often as I have; you MUST know how tight that plug is. I can dangle mine upside down from the cable all day and it won't go anywhere. So why would you think the thing's gonna unhook and slide out while mounted horizontally? Maybe if you get T-boned at an intersection... but then, the phone is the least of your worries.

That said, I probably wouldn't use the mount on a hog. Even vertically; the vibration makes it all a different story, IMO.

Thanks, Corwin! Looking forward to the video!
[EVO 4G Accessories] omegasun18:
thanks for the heads up. i am glad i waited on an extended battery. Now once i figure out if it works with otterbox cases i can decide if i would rather have an extended battery or an otterbox case. I dont know if i will go extended either way having the extended battery then adding on the case (when available) for the extended battery i think would be like carrying around a brick in your pocket.

doesn't seem to go into cardock mode automatically. corwinmortac I was thinking...if the phone is in the dock and you answer a call on speakerphone, doesn't that use the mic port? The mic port is covered in the dock but there is a small opening in the sleeve and in the dock...just can't figure out where the outside opening is.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Turn your EVO off, and pull out the battery. Put the cover back on and then place the battery against the back cover on the outside...that's how much thicker it is with the Seidio extended battery. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] corwinmortac:
It indeed does not go in to car dock mode, that's disappointing, but there is an app for that ;)

My last car dock just had a hole to plug in the car charger so I found an app called BLUE DOCK. this will allow you to set events like...when i connect to this bluetooth and i have power... auto open the car dock mode....when disconnected , quit car dock mode.

I agree as well that the mic should not work, but i did three google voice searched and it was better than my last car holder that had a hole for the mic...go figure.

As far as the phone as a speaker phone in the car, I have a dodge with U-Connect for phone via stereo so I did not test it...just wish my stereo had A2DP...but sadly it does not.

I cannot stress enough how sturdy this mount and holder are, the rubberized finish is just like the Innocase. Now time to debate putting in the hard mount and removing the suction cup, strongest damn suction cup ive ever seen on a car mount. Plus unless I find a hard base mount for the dash that has a ball mount I will loose the ability to swivel into landscape.
[EVO 4G Accessories] amcfarla:
so does the suction cup seem pretty strong on the window, I have a holder that the device falls off the window at random times since the suction is not very strong?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:

[EVO 4G Accessories] firesquirt:
Are you using the supplied cable?; did you turn on the dock in settings?

As I understand it; the EVO will go into dock mode when pin 5 of the USB is grounded.

If your settings are right then shame on Seidio for overlooking the auto dock capabilities of the EVO.:mad:

Perhaps finding a charger cable with pin 5 grounded will work?:confused:

[EVO 4G Accessories] amcfarla:
One question, can you turn the mount either way for landscape, slingbox software only works one way, and from what I can see from the other video review it goes the opposite way which makes it upside down(yes I don't condone watching tv when driving but it seems like some landscape apps will only work one way)? And again Thanks for the info on the device.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
Yes, the cradle can swivel 360 degrees on the mount. You are more than welcome.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but if you use Coupon Code VICTEN when checking out at Seidio dot com it will give you 10% off your order with no minimum order. I just ordered my dock today with their cheapest shipping method. Hopefully i'll have it end of this week.

Let me ask a few things of those of you who use the EVO in your car alot. I have a stereo plug running to the AUX inputs in my car stereo. Right now i just plug in the car charger and the stereo jack into the phone and lay it in my center console in my 97 Tacoma. I always use my Jawbone ICON bluetooth headset to talk on the phone, even in the car. The evo seems to be smart enough to send calls to the Bluetooth headset and music to the headphone jack in most cases. however, i have had some weird expereinces with the audible directions from google navigation. Sometimes they come through the bluetooth headset and sometimes through the audio jack. It seems to depend on the ROM i'm using. Baked Snack handled everything perfectly, CM6 just did it dead wrong. Is there an app or a selection somewhere that will allow me to direct which audio content (music, directions, calls, trapster, etc) will be routed to which audio out device depending on whether i have something in the audio jack, or not, or bluetooth or not etc?

I have an older Sony aftermarket stereo, so i'm fairly certain it doesn't have bluetooth capabilities, so, is there a better way to route the audio from the phone to the stereo than a stereo headphone male-to-male connector?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I think this is a bluetooth stack issue in Froyo. I too have had some issues. When on Android 2.1 and connected via bluetooth in my vehicle I could be listening to music and while at the same time running navigation, the music would pause to announce the navigation instructions, then once the nav. instructions have completed the music would resume. Since Froyo and trying to accomplish the same thing, the music will pause, navigation instructions will announce thru the bluetooth, but now the music will not start playing again.

I am just guessing at the possible cause of this. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] ryncr:
is there any way to get the evo to recognize this as a dock? mine wont no matter what i do!
[EVO 4G Accessories] PAPutzback:
Bah. They sent me the wrong friggin base. Now I have to wait another 5-7 days, which will always take 7 days for sure. I am hoping they are cool enough to throw in the mini usb to female usb adapter since I have to screw with this and wait another week.

And that is BS that it doesn't trigger Car the Car Panel or have a path to the mic. Now I have to go buy a new F150 to get Sync.

Since I am using Launcher Pro I put the Navigation app down in the ROSIE and change the swipe gesture to launch Car Panel
[EVO 4G Accessories] jobryan26:
I don't think so without hacking the connector. Why not create a shortcut on one of your screens to the app? That is what I did....only gotta tap once. :)
