Hello, I recently purchased a universal car dock off eBay and I would like to be able to use car dock mode with Pandora and possibly other configuration by only pressing one button. Basically it would turn on car dock mode, turn on bluetooth, gps, pandora, and whatever else I would like to open by just selecting the car preset. Then reverse it all when I leave my vehicle. Does anyone know of the best app to do all of this with the Mytouch 4G's car-dock mode?
Thanks much!
Google Car Home can launch whenever a particular BT device connects.
HTC Glacier running CM7 #37
That's very cool! I just have the stock mytouch 4g rom and it works but I had to download the app off the net as the market showed nothing for me. Does anyone know if the hands free text messaging will work with this app as it does with the stock car dock app?
Thank you
Google Voice Search is very similar to the Genius Button app. Even better in some ways, like "listen to <artist>". However the Voice Dialer, started by the headset button, is dialing only.

where do you get google voice search? I've looked for it in the market and can't find it. Is voice recognition a feature only available in later versions of android?
It is a feature available for 1.6. SE decided not to add it to the OS.
Most rooted Android 1.6 Roms have that. It was quite useful when I had my rooted HTC Magic. Just press the voice icon at the search widget and you could do a Google search without using the keyboard. Too bad SE decided not to carry that on the X10.

bummer. I knew what I was getting into and I still love the X10, but I'm definitely looking forward to a root. hopefully someone can pull it off, and soon
I have the voice search app on my x10....and i can also use the speech to text mic button on the htc keyboard.
Might depend on where you got the phone. Had 2 x10i only the first one had voice recognition. I'm using a x10a now with no voice.
Tried to search this.. anyone knows if I can voice dial with Desire? I need it when dial someone while driving through bluetooth. Thanks
I too would love an answer to this if anyone has one. Would be nice if the button on bluetooth handsfree kits started voice dialing as with my TouchHD, but just voice dialing would be a start. I am guessing that the only option would be using the voice search but I tried that and it just looked up whatever name I searched on google
Download and install the car dock (see here).
Amongst other things, it allows you to voice dial.
Regards,
Dave
You don't need the car dock app, if you have voice search installed, just long press the search button and say "call whoever".
Si
is there any non internet dependent voice dialer available
Am I missing something? Long press on search key does not bring up any voice search on my Desire... do I need to install any app?
mine puts call whoever into a Google search???

I havnt gotten my Desire yet, but is it really that easy? Just install that app?
Has someone actually made this work? All my searches go to google. Carl/Kal whatever...
Yep, works fine. DL'd to my PC, onto the card and bingo. Works perfectly.
Keeps saying download unsuccessful on my browser

Doesn't work on my handset it always performs a Google search. I've even tried unticking the Internet option in the Searchable Items list and it still searches Google. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.
Me too I think this might be a new version though but it wont download lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It is a newer version than the one I originally had installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this one.
Download to your PC, then move to the SD Card and install (just open with Astro.) It really works very well
Yes this works better now, only thing is when i say call mom etc
i get a list.. call mom, call mom mobile, call mom google search etc.. why dont it just do it lol
Am I the only one with this issue ? After I press the genius button the app pops up but it takes a while until it starts listening...and with this phone I expect little to no lagg...

I have the same problem.
Mine became much quicker when I deleted its app data. However lag crept back in.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
mine seems to lag, with a message says loading contacts. I feel that should be a background load instead of stopping the app temporarily
I would think it would only load contacts once..but. mine did it a few times in a row and sometimes not at all......
So I wonder what's up with the genius button ?
Why does it lag on such great hArdware ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have the same issue. Takes about 15 seconds on mine ven overclocked to 1.3mhz
Turn load contacts to manual just remember to update when you add new contacts

Fine. But the lag is present even before the contact database update begins.
After hitting the genius button I have about a one second delay before it says listening. Which is not really a big deal

Yeah, it happens to all of us. It's annoying, too, because the Genius Button is almost always wrong in understanding voice commands. When using the stock Google Voice Actions, I have a margin of error of like 10%. Using Dragon's engine, I'm accidentally calling phones 75% of the time. :/
I wish they'd just give us the option to toggle between Genius / normal Search.

If you do the Re-Map genius button mod you can.
Just LONG PRESS to use normal voice search.

i was having the same problem.it woulf skip every 1minute or wen i unlocked. go the market and download "block headset" its a widget. this should solve ur problem it did for me
thanks that seemed to work for me.
So now that I installed a ICS based rom "block headset" does not seem to work any more. Anyone know how to kill it with Android 4 OS?
Bump anyone?!
what music app are you using? Have you attempted looking through settings to see if there's a "shake to change song" option?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I am using the built in Google music app, and no there is no option in it to turn it off.
I got play/pause to work by editing the sec_jack.kl file on my phone, but I can't seem to get skipping back and forth to work. My headphones only have 1 button. Does anyone know what key maps I need to use? Edit: Got the Headset Controls app from the marketplace to work, but I'd prefer if I didn't need an app, and it doesn't always work.
