Tried a bunch, and the best I could find is "Car Dock Home v3".

Some of the things I like:

Shortcut options:

Lets you create your own grid of shortcuts (choose your grid size, like 2x4, cool, 3x3, also cool), auto-rotate (or not, I prefer portrait mode myself), shortcuts (includes activities option a-la launcher pro, really good for creating a shazam shortcut that automatically listens, without needing to wait through the splash screen and then tapping it again), supports multiple, swipe-able, pages of shortcuts, supports WIDGETS.

Launch settings:

Will automatically start up bluetooth/gps (or not, if you want), when you enter "car mode" and disable them when you exit (I believe it won't disable if they were enabled when you entered the car). It also automatically puts all volumes to full.

And one of the best features, which I think often goes overlooked, is that it replaces the effect of the "home" button on your device with itself, so "home" takes you back to the main shortcut menu for the car dock home. This may be pretty standard now, but when I had my first n1, I used a 3rd-party car home app, and it was missing this feature. It was a real deal-breaker for me.

I recommend Car Dock Home v3 for anyone who likes to put their phone in the dock when they get in the car, have everything start up and be one click away, and have everything shut itself off when the car turns off and the phone is undocked.

PS: If you get either widgetsoid or AnyCut, you can make one-click shortcuts to particular contacts when you're driving. I have shortcuts to my girlfriend and my parents, because they're who I'm most likely to be calling while driving. I then have a shortcut to voice actions, from which I can speak to call someone else, send a text/email, etc.

PPS: If you get Tasker, you can create a profile that will auto-read any SMS messages that come in while you're driving and auto-respond with "I'm driving" (last I heard, no support for GV users though, sorry. I'm a GV user myself, so I really wish there were. You can get GV SMS sending through a third-party plugin, but no receiving yet).

I bought the car dock and returned it unopened. I already had an app to launch the car dock app when I connected to my car's bluetooth. It doesn't come with a changer, but I already had one of those as well, so I was basically paying $60CAD (because even at par, things are more expensive in Canada) for something to hold my phone up against the windshield. I can get that for $15.

I'm not convinced of the value, particularly since I side-loaded the google car home app tonight, which is mildly superior to car dock app Motorola ships.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] sp0tted:
What app did you use to auto launch the car dock app on bluetooth connect?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Rred:
The docks (all of them from Moto) are pricey and I'm not sure I'd want to mess with the no=name junk starting to come in from China now.

But I'd like to see the Moto car dock really secure the phone. So I can expect to find the phone, in the dock, in working condition, if someone runs into me and I need it for that 911 call.

Anything that's not secure in a car becomes a missile during an accident. I want a phone, not a missile, if that happens. Pretty much all the car docks and holders will throw a phone without much effort, not just Moto's.

Soo I'm thinking, add the jumper in a power cable, and use a phone skin with a honkin big piece of industrial "not-velcro" gripper on the back. That stuff really does hold things down.

Hi there, I get to know that this GPS Status from the market actually can help us to download A-GPS data for a faster fix.

However there is a question on this app.

I read around and some actually mention that this downloading of A-GPS should be done outdoor and not indoor.

Is there such a requirement for this to obtain faster fix?

Desire HD user. =)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ibza:
While your inside you have the roof, which interrupt the signal. But if your outside, there is nothing but trees or clouds.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] olivierlee:
You can download the A-GPS data even when indoors. All this contains are the coordinates of the satellites and you'll supposedly get faster fix. For best signal though, you should be outdoors and have a clear line of sight to the sky.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
Here's a list of apps I've deleted so far to no NOTICEABLE ill effect (including their .odex files). I saved up 63MB under the /system partition.

amazonmp3.apk
AxT9IME.apk
BuddiesNow.apk
ClockPackage.apk
cm-android.apk
Email.apk
FBAndroid-1.4.1.apk
install_flash_player.apk
KeyBoardSlideUpCounter.apk

SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
SnsAccount.apk
SnsProvider.apk
SprintTVWidget.apk
SprintZone.apk
TAT_LiveWallpaper_*.apk
TouchWizCalculator.apk

Don't forget to delete the linked .odex files and reboot the phone to make sure the changes take effect. I advise you to delete the dalvik-cache to make sure all traces of the apps are gone.

DO NOT DELETE:

TouchWizLauncher.apk, some part of it is needed for the phone to run otherwise the phone crashes when you put it into sleep mode.

For anything I haven't listed rename the extention to apk.stock and THEN clear your dalvik-cache. Test it out and report back.

Please limit replies to this thread to other apps you've tested for safe removal. Don't ask for tech support. If you deleted an app and you want it back, PM me and I can send it to you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WrlsFanatic:
WRONG FORUM! Also, you could find this if you looked at the FIRST TWO PAGES!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumsock:
to get into recovery mode for the evo you hold down the volume down button and the power button at the same time until the phone powers up...then it goes into recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeLithium:
Actually it goes into bootloader, from there you select recovery navigating with the volume buttons and selecting with the power button.

Also Yes, this is the wrong section and a little searching would have given you this answer.

you update directly from android 1.6 to android 2.1 with fastboot?

How/can u flash a rom without having to delete all of your apps and data and everything and having to restore it after?? ( which yake 4ever! )
[Fascinate General] hdb_3:
Titanium Backup works great to backup/restore apps with data.
[Fascinate General] cseeley:
Agreed, and if you have pro, they it is a button press, and walk away.
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
Mybackup pro also works saving apps and data.
[Fascinate General] rivaaaa253:
Yeah, but can I flash a ROM and keep all my data without doing thatt??
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Sometimes. Just don't wipe data before flashing it (depending on how it's packaged, some ROMs will wipe it when you flash). Of course, not wiping data can lead to a variety of hard to track down problems, so that's why it's generally always recommended.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan_lewinger:
So I seem to have a messaging problem I cannot figure out. I can't pinpoint exactly when it started happening but it was around the time I installed CM7 RC1 or nightly 38...

I only get my messages in bunches some time after they are sent. Its like after a while multiple texts get pushed through, just not when they were sent from the person. Sometimes i get multiple texts in the wrong order. I've also figured out the only way to get the texts to come through is when i call someone. Once i call someone, multiple texts push through.....really strange

Its like the phone has to actively access the network before is receives text messages...

I have no clue what this could be, any suggestions
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dm0nds0n@:

I loaded the same Rom but it appears if I send out a txt with multiple recipients only one recipient gets it.

On the phone, I see that there's a pin hole near the LED flash

Would anyone know if Telus Desire HD have noise cancellation?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sromer:
That's the preproduction model.

The actual phone doesn't have this hole
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysterysnake:
I don't know if its for noise cancellation but my telus dhd does have the hole by the led.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwmkwan:
i noticed the Asia & Europe Version does not have the pin hole

i had google on the Telus version

many vendor claims to have the noise cancellation feature
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorldIRC:
My Telus DHD has the hole.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwmkwan:
does the manual mention anything about what the pin hole is for?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysterysnake:
Just looked in the manual, doesn't mention the hole or anything about noise cancellation.

Edit: I was just looking at the HTC Inspire 4g which is very similar to Telus Desire HD. It has the hole in the back by the LED and says its for noise cancellation, so I would guess Telus DHD does too.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwmkwan:

I installed EB13 using the windows installer, which totally wipes the phone and I'm having none of those problems. Not knowing how you installed the update it's hard to know what happened but perhaps clearing the caches would help.

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
The more I'm reading the more it sounds like the safest, cleanest way to go is the full flash/wipe. I guess I'll have to test how good my data backups are after all...
[Epic 4G General] slevenkelevra:
How do you do a full wipe!?
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Basically the full Sammy installer through a PC *sounds* like it will do it. But the recovery boot menu also has an option for clearing the cache and I wonder if that is good to do also before that, just to be thorough.
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I think that's true about the full wipe method. The update.zip method assumes that you've got a fully stock phone that you haven't messed around with. That assumption doesn't work all that well with the types who visit xda.

On the plus side, I was using a DK28 rom (quantum) and did a backup in clockwork. After I did the "full wipe" (.exe) method and then did the old 1-click to get root and clockwork back, I was able to go to "advanced" restore in clockword and restore just my data. It worked absolutely perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] slevenkelevra:
Please...please. I beg of you haha. Explain howexactly I would wipe my phone so that I would be able to get te update. I was fooling around and deleted the nascar app and because of this I'm not able to dowload it without and error messege.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
sleven, you really should do some reading on the forums and you could easily figure it out: [GUIDE] How To Update Your Samsung Epic 4G to Official "EB13" Android 2.2.1 in the Epic 4G Android Development forum is a pretty damn good place to start. I'd use the

Last Resort (Easiest)

method if I were you, since you don't seem to be big on figuring things out. CAUTION!!! All three methods listed here will reset your phone to stock, though they will leave your SD card and it's contents alone.

If you want to "upgrade" rather than do a clean install so that you can save your settings & programs, follow this guide:

Download the update.zip file from http://www.multiupload.com/K1MHLS6SNX

Boot into recovery by

Power off your phone

Hold [Volume Down] + [Camera] + [Power] until you're in recovery

Clear cache 3x

Apply update.zip

Droid, from what I understand the "full Sammy installer" completely reformats the partitions and installs a fresh copy of EB13 on Epics. However, I know there's a number of people who recommend booting into recovery (stock or CWM) and clearing the caches 3x in a row. I haven't always done that, but it does seem to clear up a lot of issues that people are having, especially if they flash with Odin / Heimdall.
[Epic 4G General] AmericanJedi001:
sleven, I guess I'm taking pity on you, cuz here's a guide to fix your little problem. :rolleyes: Be advised, you'll need to have root privileges and a file manager that can navigate root, such as Root Explorer. If you need help getting rooted, see One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!

In the Wiki, check out All *.apks & Framework / Apps safe to remove

Download the

Epic System Apps.rar

file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=20HJ9004

Unrar it with 7zip, Winrar, Winzip, etc.

Find the Nascar app you deleted and copy it to /system/app

As long as your /system/app folder is identical to the Epic System Apps folder from the .rar (it's ripped straight from a phone), you should be good to follow the guide I gave you in my previous post. Good luck!

Credit where credit is due: obviously I linked to many other people's guides, wikis, etc. Thanks a lot, cuz that's how I learned to do all this!

at first my GPS seemed to be much faster and more accurate (locked into 2 meters!) but now this morning I can't seem to get a lock at all...wtf???

I used samsungs pc installer by the way. Maybe I'll try using Odin instead today...

other than that, which is a huge other, the ROM is running great. I did have to root and run the manual sensor calibration utility though to fix the screen lag

edit: Just did a battery-pull reboot and all seems to be well in epic FROYO land.
[Epic 4G General] swanysto:
I went back to stock DI18. Than I ran the EB13 update.zip and it is working like a charm. Everything seems to be running great although I can't comment on the blue tooth as I don't use it.

The one thing I found interesting is that sometimes when my GPS locks, it says within 1100 meters, but the blue arrow is dead on to where I am. The navigation finds me and the route within 30 seconds or less.

All in all, I cannot complain. Seems like the bugs I had issues with were taken care of. I installed the anarchy launcher and I'm cruising.

It's as if my SD card is mounted all the time...

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this?

How frustrating...

I think this might be down to the new SD card I put in my phone...

Kingston 16GB class 6...

switched back to the SanDisk 8GB class 2 - and apps2sd seems to be working.

google sky maps is still on there after two reboots anyway which the 16gb wasn't. :(

Does anyway know of any tools to check the SD card for faults before I try and send it back?

done a full windows7 format on it (instead of a quick) and it might, might just be working...

got RAC Traffic on the SD and managed to do a reboot and its still there - which is further than I got before...

interestingly though if i unmount and re-mount the SD it does come back and work... :(

Yeah, the more I had problems trying to get it sorted the more research I did into it - Patriot / A-Data / SanDisk seem like the best choices for MicroSD cards ...

I thought Kingston were a pretty decent manufacturer too!

I'm a bit frustrated as I wanted something bigger than the 8gb I had currently, and something that'll last a little while - 16gb/c6 seemed perfect for a decent price too - backed up and wiped my phone...
