When in multi-timer mode you can give speak commands to create, create & start, or delete a timing.
Add Timing: Say something like “add chicken for 15 minutes”. This will create a new timing set to 15 minutes with the lable “chicken”. The timing will not be started until you tap the start button.
Start Timing: Say something like “start chicken for 15 minutes”. This will create a new timing set to 15 minutes with the label “chicken”, the timing will be started immediately.
Delete Timing: Say something like “delete chicken”. This will stop and remove any timing labelled “chicken”.
Starting with Android 4.2, a bug was introduced in the android OS that prevents a car dock app from overriding the home button while the phone is in car dock mode. This is a defect in the Android operating system and can only be properly resolved by Google.
However, we have developed a patch that fixes this issue.
The one drawback to this patch is that pressing the home button will no longer center the normal home screen on your device. I don’t anticipate having a fix for this. It is simply a drawback to having a patch instead of a permanent fix from Google.
Installation Instructions:
1) Install Car Mode Patch from the Play Market: Car Mode Patch
2) Press the Home Button
3) Select the Car Mode Patch Home option
4) Tap Always
If you do not like the behavior of your phone with the patch installed, just uninstall the Car Mode Patch app.
In an effort to help users reduce battery usage while having their phone docked, I would like to introduce a new beta app called Sleep Mode.
This app allows you to put the phone into a pseudo-sleep mode by tapping on the Sleep Mode icon. You can exit sleep mode by tapping anywhere on the screen or pressing any hardware button.
While in sleep mode, the screen brightness is reduced to a minimal level and since it is running the foreground, (but not actually doing anything) it will pause all activities in apps like CarHome Ultra.
Features:
Start sleep mode by tapping the Sleep Mode icon
Reduces the screen brightness to a minimal level
Turns off back-lit keys
Pauses all activity in CarHome Ultra and other apps that do not have background services
Exit Sleep Mode by tapping anywhere on the screen or pressing any hardware button
