Car Mode for Android
Idea - Evan Tapper
- Please tell me if it works with a Car Dock now.
Check out my other apps!
i have tried carmode. unfortunately i have to manually answer the phone. now i'm using some app called "DriveMODE(Auto Loudspeaker)". it has great voice recognition. you don't need hands or touches to answer. just you voice... i love that app :)
For a proper car mode it needs more features, since I guess this app has only one function - speaker mode. I agree with reviewer who said it is misnamed.
Really usefull app. With new cell phone laws, this free app may save you from being pulled over and getting a ticket. SO USE IT.. HTC Evo.
A tiny widget that toggles if calls go to speaker or not. I don't have Bluetooth so I turn it on when I put my phone in my car dashmount and if a call cones on its straight to speaker.
With one tap every call goes on speaker, with one tap it's business as usual. Can't get easier or more simple than that. Just superb.
Fantastic safety app! People who don't 'understand it' need to read the description before downloading every app they see... idiots...
Lol, got a phone call while driving and grabbed it sayin hello!? But this app sends all calls to speaker mode! Love it!
Stuck this on my desire s and phone started answering with the speaker on every time. Couldn't turn off so had to restore factory settings. Rubbish
Should only be a widget. But is a GREAT app! Would be nice if it would also do something like "tap anywhwre on screen to accept call"
Not working on Xperia z3c doesn't turn on Bluetooth when in car mode, great shame as it would be ideal otherwise.
I had been hoping someone would make this exact thing. I just wish the icon changed when it is on, and I could take icon out of notification bar.
I'm unable to disable on Htc desire. Everytime I make a call it makes it loudspeaker, even tho uninstalled
really handy for driver. l hate blue tooth eating power too much.l
Works fine on VZW Moto Droid X 2.2.1 Plays nicely with Car Dock app. Use with Single and Dual ear bud(s) and mic on wired jack works fine also.
I was interested in buying a Bluetooth system for the car & put Car Mode on my Motorola Atrix as a stop-gap measure. After using the app over a number of weeks, I found that it worked fine. I only use it to answer important calls while driving, but I don't see the need to do anymore than that. This app is excellent!
You can assign a button in the built-in Car Mode app to Car Home to speed things up when you get into your car (better if this ran a service that detected the phone mode changed to Car Mode though).
I don't use bluetooth so this is so useful when driving. Simple run use and on my ztc Blade.
Cool app, works as handsfree. shame my speaker ain't loud enough to hear anybody or it would be ideal
NATALIE ROSE I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! FINALLY AN APP MADE JUST 4ME...I HATE HAVING BT IN MY EAR THIS IS AWESOME! THANK U 4THINKING OF ME
Most used app! Should be required app and would be nice if there was a gps feature to run app any time speed tops 20mph. Dev???
I've enjoyed this app for months, but recently every time i try to enable, it causes my phone to shut down & restart. What's going on?
I've never got on with Bluetooth and this works better then the Bluetooth devices I have owned on the past. My wife can't believe how clear it is.
I have been using this application for some time now, it is excellent while driving. I wish it had a voice command to answer calls without swiping the phone.
Please get rid of the notification, or an option to turn that off. Also an option of detection of having a wired headphone connection switch would be beneficial as well.
Great app. No scrambling around trying to get the phone switched to speaker phone
Not working on Xperia z3c doesn't turn on Bluetooth when in car mode, great shame as it would be ideal otherwise.
Its great and works perfect. I suggest an option to disable screen lock and only allow it to dim (great for music playback).
Recently when in a call if I adjust my volume rocker I lose car mode. Original T-mob. G1 - ver. 1.6 - Build no. Is DMD64 Hope you can troubleshoot it
I find this really useful, it has a permanent spot on my QuickDesk shortcut list! Desire 2.2
because the brilliant reminder that says "car mode is on" or something like that is right in front of the answer button! that's really a too big mistake for not to be taked in mind. Fix it and it will be a flawless app!
Shouldnt this be a widget? It basically is one already. It would be nice if you could get rid of the label on the homescreen
No way near good enough audio quality to replace Bluetooth for me personally. Mostly due to my phone no doubt. Uninstalled. HTC Desire.
I've been looking for something like this. Really useful when driving 70+ on the highway.
Great app...makes talking while driving easy and safer. (Samsung Vibrant 2.2 Froyo)
Best I've found out there. Works great on the evo with froyo.
Very good app works so easily. The only let down is the quality of the speaker on your phone.
Works great, even though the functionality is included in the hero 2.1 update, I still use this app all the time.
Nothing happens....
Fantastic!! The sound is a whole lot clearer than without it. Now if it could be moved to the SD card, that would make it even better.

This app needs to automatically activate the voice command buttons on searches and text boxes without you having to look at the screen in order to hit the voice command. as it is the only thing this app does is route your calls directly to speaker phone and let you answer via voice command. but when I want to call someone I still have to navigate visually in order to find them. also the activated indicator is barely visible it would be nice if the screen changed or something.
