I used to toogle it on and off in an attempt to save battery but discovered that you can leave it "on" all the it and Android will power it up as required. <br /><br />Think of the "off" setting as disabled, and the "on" as a standby, allowing the GPS radio to be turned on by an app asking for GPS info. <br /><br />If you leave it "on" and the GPS radio stays on all the time you have an app running that is continuously asking for GPS updates.bj warkentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13599675197639016859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-23983494970831748232010-10-03T10:21:54.835-07:002010-10-03T10:21:54.835-07:00hmmm.. only able to add certain shortcuts: car hom...hmmm.. only able to add certain shortcuts: car home shortcuts, "other" program shortcuts, direct-dial #s and navigation shortcuts<br /><br />what they DON'T have shortcuts to are widgets (like oh say..

Long press it and hit rename... add .bak to it [CarHomeGoogle.apk.bak]. Hit ok and close out. Reboot and open Market. Search for Car Home (should be 2.2.1) and install. Reboot...<br /><br />It worked perfect plus you have the 2.2 backup of CarHomeGoogle.apk. 2.2. This is so sweet. I used the "road" wallpaper, changed the color to match my dashboard , added SiriusXM, Listen, and Pandora apps.. KILLER!!<br /><br />PS.. DON'T mess with CarHomeLauncher.apk or you will lose the icon and shortcut!<br /><br />Wirez..Mrwirezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449612633210166512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-58806564551703789202010-10-02T08:01:56.055-07:002010-10-02T08:01:56.055-07:00@gpsmapper: It sounds like you're running the...@gpsmapper: It sounds like you're running the old version of Car Home if you can't change the shortcuts or add new ones.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584867523655134351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737808092791042537.post-84617166490050849822010-10-02T04:38:49.834-07:002010-10-02T04:38:49.834-07:00I don't see any "Add shortcut" optio...I don't see any "Add shortcut" options, just three blank spaces on the second screen.

It's therefore a terrible shame that Google has still failed to negotiate the required licence to provide Navigation here in Australia. :(<br /><br />I do like the fact that Google is updating their suite of applications via the Market. Very nice. Any word on when Listen will get a more post-Donut icon?<br /><br />Also, what's with device detection on the Market?

If using car mode with phone rotated horizontally (which I think most would do), and one tries to use the contacts or dialer shortcut, there is no reorientation. One either has to rotate the phone vertically, or struggle to decipher the menus at an angle. This needs to be fixed. I know the motto is reusue, reuse, reuse, but if the app is not designed for horizontal orientation, then perhaps special dialer, contacts, etc need to be made for the car home application.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373013233501202040noreply@blogger.com
