Anomaly of the Atrix car Dock recognition

I noticed a quirk in the behaviour of my Atrix intermittent when I put it in the Dock of the car. The scenarios and the results are as follows:

  1. If I place the Atrix in car dock before I start my car (which provides power to the USB plug), the phone does not recognize the dock and is therefore not in car mode. If I take the phone out of the dock and put it in after the car was launched (and the dock is powered), it goes into car mode.
  2. If I start the car until I put the Atrix in the dock, the phone goes into mode car without fail. After that, the phoe seems not to care whether the platform is powered and will recognize when it is removed or inserted in the dock (probably because the application is still running in the background and yet was killed by the Androids Task Manager).
This isn't a criticism, just an observation. Has anyone else noticed a similar behavior?

I have the latest official firmware (point 1.8.3), spin not the task managers, and is the only application that I host monitoring State is the application of profiles of setting (Probeez). I use it to automatically turn on the Bluetooth when I put the phone in the car dock. In any case, I do that the phone is unlocked until I put it in the dock so I don't end up having hit to swipe a fingerprint to use the phone when it is in the dock.

This has been noticed and mentioned in several discussions in this forum. The engineering team has been notified and if everything goes well it is addressed. However, if it bothers you that much, you can use a generic USB (not the motorola one that came with the dock) and it will work . Don't ask why . Or you can disconnect and reconnect the usb in the charger. I find it easier then unplug and plug the phone all the time.

  • A way to replace/disable the car dock app?

    I'm not a fan of the car dock app. I can only add an application shortcut and I can't replace those already existing. There is also a large icon back too much space in the application of the card that I can't turn off. In addition, I would rather just the default Google's Navigation app instead. It has a "follow me" function better when you browse not. Well, at least I like the first option in terms of person compared to aerial perspective.

    So, is it possible to replace the application of the car with a 3rd party application? I want to start instead of a Motorola when the phone is connected. If so, what is a good 3rd party car app?

    If this is not possible, then completely disable the application of the car to start when it is docked? I prefer to continue to use the Motorola car dock since I have active stock that turn on the GPS and Bluetooth when it is docked. I can press menu and then exit to return to the home screen, but when I press the home button, it launches the car dock app again.

    Thank you!

    In my view, that the car is triggered by the connection of the equipment to the docking station (something on the connectingpins?).

    Anyway, there are a number of car dock apps in the market (I sort of hate, calling it "Google Play")... I took a quick look and found these - you may be able to find more as well.

  • The Atrix dock car

    Hi all

    I've been running my Atrix with webtop without no problem, however, I bought a car dock yesterday and have not been able to have the car dock to launch the app at all.

    At first I thought it was because the USB slot on my helmet pushed only 500mA as opposed to 1000mA and thus, perhaps, the phone was not recognizing the dock. So, I went to radio shack and bought a fast charger which grow a 1000mA to see if that would make a difference. No dice. I tried to turn my phone on and off as well as activating / disabling the various switches to power satellite, wireless and bluetooth, and that does not work either.

    I had a problem with the speaker of the phone then I exchanged it for another new Atrix address this problem of rattling. I had hope that maybe a new phone would also good launch of the car dock app. That no longer works. Needless to say, I still love the phone, but I'm tired of trying to have the car dock function correctly.

    I can do to get the car dock app runs automatically without having to download a third party home app?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  • "Shenanigans" with the car dock - sometimes is not load, sometimes the line audio stops...

    So - I bought the AT & T w/o the 12VDC power supply kit.

    I have three of them already, so I thought no big deal, but here is the result:

    -A supply of 500mA. No charge and the phone continues to flow.

    -A single port of 1000mA supply - I get the (fresh) lightning for an hour, then stops and begins to bleed

    -A double-USB 1000mA supply - I get the Flash most of the time, but phone seems to "slow charge" only

    I decided to buy something different. The iPad has a much higher load must be (10 watts) so I thought that the Atrix might need something similar because of the screen, BT, GPS and radio satellite continuously at the same time.

    I bought a Belkin USB power designed to support the iPad, so there a power of 2100mA @ 5VDC thinking she would probably charge the Atrix - and he did it, worked like a champ, except when it is plugged in, the audio power stops via the audio jack of 3.5 mm on the dock cable car. As soon as I unplug the power supply, audio comes immediately.

    I'm trying to find the specs on the Motorola offers that Docks with the OEM racing car but there is no information on the sales of motorcycle brand site. Anyone know?

    Does anyone else have these strange questions?


  • Adding an application in the car dock app fails

    I tried to use my dock car for the first time today with my Atrix and I found that I was unable to add additional apps to the free buttons.

    When I long pressed a button, nothing would happen, and it would be followed shortly after a close dialogue of force for the parameters.

    Anyone know why I cannot the app and why the car dock app could originally be a force close in settings? Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Try to go in the settings of your home screen. Then go to applications, then manage applications. Click on the tab at the top. Now go down to the dock of the car. Tap to open it, now tap clear data and clear the cache is capable and exit on the home screen. Restart the phone and now see if it works. Let us know if it helps.

  • Car dock - how to make the Favorites for the dialer?

    The new dock car software is awesome... best reader of music, better...

    But the appeal section, which has a favorite option gives me problems. I have a favorite and it seems to me be my google account. I can't find any way to add favorites to the screen, even if I have Favorites in my menu contacts on the phone.

    Anyone with a car dock have a bit of luck with this feature?

    I tried to create new contacts and edit existing ones. Add to the AT & T AddressBook and edit them in my google contacts...

    I'm out of ideas.

    Maybe a bug?

    OK, so make a call populates the list of favorites. It seems to be the same as 'RÉCENT' but outbound-only. It lists the date and time of the call, so I think they did steal the recent release and fill with her favorites.

    BUT I've found other things that seem like bugs...

    • If I call the woman at home and in the cell, I get 2 Favorites but not way to tell them apart.
    • List of recent has the same problem
    • No way to select a contact to call don't dock - you must type a number to get a proposal of

  • Photon: Car dock: routing of calls through car speakers turns off the phone mic?

    The title says it all, but I'll explain it. I bought the car dock and most of the time it looks cool, but there is a weird problem. I have the phone in the dock, and I have the audio cable from the charger to the auxiliary audio port of my car. When I try to make a call, the default speaker phone. In a noisy car environment, it is difficult to hear the other person of property. While the appeal goes, there is a "speaker" down button right on the phone that I can press on, which causes the audio to be routed via the speakers of the car being music, which is excellent. However, doing so causes both the person on the other line to be able to hear me, that makes no sense and is frankly very frustrating.

    I saw a couple of discussions on the issues, then I know that I'm not the only person to have had this experience, but I was not able to find a solution yet. Someone know if there is a solution, or if at least that there is a questions recognized by Motorola that could be fixed in the future? I guess it's a software issue any.

  • Car Dock - leaving bluetooth on calls

    Whenever my Atrix is in the car dock, when I'm on a phone call, the bluetooth disconnects and turns on the speaker phone. It will intermittently be / reconnection bouncing between the speakers of the car and the phone's speaker. I tried to use another car dock, another cable USB and 3 different USB car chargers. I have no idea what this may be suggestions?

    Music works fine on bluetooth, but once I take a phone call is starting to evils.

    Are you by chance near the area where there are many open wi - fi? I noticed that every time the phone toggle between wi - fi and H +, bluetooth will be briefly disconnect and then re-connect.

  • Droid Maxx (Kitkat) - car dock Griffin (Dialer)

    Hey guys,.

    Today, I write about my current business with Motorola. This is the case number is140121-006278.

    I use my car griffin dock to make and receive calls on my Maxx Droid while I'm on the road.

    I noticed since the update of Kitkat on my Droid Maxx replacement I got Verizon today only once

    I use the Dock car numbers on the keypad are really hard to press. I have been troubleshooting

    with Motorola and Verizon Tier 2 Tech Support level 2 and were able to get this fixed up.

    Info on the device:

    • The system version: 19.5.3.obake - maxx_verizon. Verizon.en.US


    • Build number: SU2-3


    • IMEI: (removed for security reasons)

    We tried things:

    • Safe mode


    • Force stop & erase the data on the phone in settings---> Apps


    • Reset of data without restoration of data or google account

    I don't know what to do, because even the gal that helped me at the Verizon store Corporate in Beaverton, OR say the same thing on his Droid Ultra with Kitkat.

    Has anyone else noticed this who has the car Dock Griffin made 4 Ultra Droid & Maxx or has heard of this problem?

  • Car dock + Google Navigation + gingerbread = dark screen

    On a day sunny display gets dim, bearly visible when the phone is rooted running Google navigation car. It started right after the installation of gingerbread. I tried to use beightness manual maxed out but it did not help. Clikcing on the home button will restore the brightness of the display, however, dating back to the navigation will cause the screen to go dim after a few minutes.

    One experience else this issue before?

    I have noticed this effect without the car dock as well.

    It seems that Google now requires Navigation to decrease intensity between the transition points. I noticed the screen dimmed on static stretching, but brightened when you approach a ramp or turns. Curious. Fortunately, I was travelling a stretch uncrowded at the time. Other things may not have turned out to be so good.

    I speculate that GOOG El think darkening of the screen may require drivers to spend more time watching the roads. But it seems uncontrollable screen dimming is more distracting than expected.

  • 2.16.211 - car dock / VZ Navigator behavior?

    Now that ICS is official on the RAZR, and I. I noticed a distrubing issue each time that the connection to my Dock car.

    The unit will try to not launch the Car Dock, but VZ Navigator app each time. I have to constantly 'Decline' terms of Service in order to access the Dock car itself, which does not yet have a VZ Navigator icon in it. (it's cool). I have of course configuring the phone to launch Google Maps as the default navigation task.

    It's annoying because I'm sure you know that VZ Navigator is only good to suck $10 on your wallet every month for no appreciable gain. And now there is like a Zombie undead, unable to be killed for good.

    Can we get a new update of officail rolling to remedy this oversight it please?

  • Disable automatic "Car Dock" App?

    I like to use the mobile docking station adapter and the functions of the application of the "car Dock" are nice, BUT the unit will continue to go in the "Dock car" mode when I put it in my bag/case with a magnetic "lock".

    Obviously, the host adapter uses a magnet to warn the phone because it is in the dock, I think removing this magnet he throws the apps of the magnetic compass.  I would really like to have a way to disable the app "Dock car" automatic, so it does not turn on when I Holster the DX.

    I wouldn't mind having the app "Dock car" (or shortened) on my screen so I have to touch to enter this mode, but I really hate go in this mode (and sucking the battery) when I Holster the DX...

    Ideas?

    There is an app for that, for example:
