[iOS][Playlists] Car Mode Suggestions

The main reason I have Spotify is for my commute. And there are a few improvements I wish could be made for the Car Mode. 1) Using the Spotify feature integrated into my car, I can scroll to a playlist and select a song. But once that song is selected, I can't select another song in that playlist easily. (Aside from just hitting previous or next.) It makes me select "Playlists," find the playlist I want, and scroll through everything again. 2) Which brings me to my second suggestion. There's a short limit on how many songs appear on my screen (car screen, not phone)... I continually have to hit next if the song I want is at the end of a playlist. Can you remove that limit or at least make it larger? (I think it's currently at 25 or something like that.) 3) Finally, if you're going to lock the entire app while in car mode, I'd like to have a search function integrated into my car system. Thank you!

Updated: 2015-07-29Hello there!
Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately we can only handle 1 feature request per topic, otherwise it's impossible to manage the received kudos / give the idea a proper status.
If you want to start a general feedback topic, that's great! But please use the respective help forum then. ;)
When you're re-posting those ideas in separate topics, please make sure to use the search function, since a lot of ideas might already be out there in the ideas forum. Also make sure to mention what kind of car system you're using.
Thanks again!

Hello pichastos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

The iPhone needs a car mode

I'm very pleased so far with my Iphone except for one problem. I always would use my old Ipod in the car every day, and it was easy to use, just plug the aux in to the headphone jack and play it. Switching from song to song if I needed was easy, I just had to press right on the well or left, no need to look at the actual ipod whild doing this, and pausing was just as easy.
Problem:
But with the Iphone its very difficult to actually control the ipod features while driving. The buttons are not easy to hit if your trying to concentrate on driving and not finding the buttons, pausing is just as difficult.
Solution:
On the contrary it seems like an easy fix for apple. Just add in a car mode for the ipod functionality.
Skipping songs: Simply touch somewhere on the screen and drag to the left to skip back, and drag to the right to skip forward. This would effectively eliminate the problem of having to look at the iphone to find the skip button when your driving.
Pausing/Playing: I'm sure someone could think of a good tapping method for this, or maybe dragging the up or down would pause and stop.
It just seems to me that using the ipod functions in the car while driving is actually dangerous if you want to switch songs, pause, play and whatnot because it requires looking at the phone. (im sure some peoples solution is to just use a playlist, but thats really not ideal if you are tired of a song, or just need to pause for a moment.)

I just purchased an install the Alpine CDA-9886 car audio receiver in my car, with the KCE-411i iPod Adapter. The 9886 has iPod controls built in and works with my iPhone. You just use the actual buttons on the receiver, rather than the phone, to pick your songs, playlist, volume, pause, play, etc.

Nokia Car Mode with Mirrorlink

According to several other discussion threads, download issues with Nokia Car Mode with Mirrorlink for Belle FP2 devices are still not solved.
At this time (tried on a Symbian Belle FP2 device) the Mirrorlink app in Nokia Store (http://store.ovi.com/content/268973) shows itself as "installed" and cannot be purchased and downloaded (because of the firmware integrated free Nokia Car Mode app in FP2).
Do you know any safe solution how to purchase / download this app?
(solutions mentioned in other threads: using an other Belle FP1 phone for purchasing and then transferring the downloaded install package, etc...)

well I didn't have any friends with nokia/symbian^3 devices so I had to try the delight cfw / nokia cooker method posted here somewhere (can't find the exact post again), anyway, i did that, i was able to buy the app from store, and then I switched back to oficial belle fp2 firmware and I was able to update the existing non MirrorLink app to the paid one.
And finally after a good week of forums and stuff I got to use my phone with my alpine headunit, was so happy and then disaster... the music player in belle fp2 has that album art view in landscape mode, and as far as the phone is connected to the head unit is always in landscape mode, I find it pretty hard to search music that way, especially with my music library which is... well bad organized, most songs are in unknown artist / album... do you guys know any music player for belle fp2 with a winamp like functionallity - to be able to sort playlist by path(folder name) and file name, and does not base on any id3 tag from songs?

Cannot Purchase Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLik

I purchased a SONY XAV-601BT audio system and I need the Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLik app to install on my C7-00 so I may connect the phone with the audio system. I've seen that the app is available at the Nokia Store but there is no way to purchase neither directly from the Nokia Store nor through the Nokia Suite. Could you please help?

I can't seem to be able to download apps with IOS 8. I have been able to with other IOS 7 and IOS 6. Any suggestions?

I Can't seem to be able to download (or update) any apps on IOS 8.0, and I have been able to download apps on IOS 7 and IOS 6. I have 5.2 GB of available space on my iPad (4th generation) and I have only used 7.1 GB on my 16GB ipad. I have a full two bars of Internet. Again I have been able to download things with two bars in the past using IOS 7 and IOS 6. Any suggestions would be helpful. =3 Sorry for the incorrect spelling

You might try just waiting. There are millions of people activating their iPhones today and people still trying to get iOS8, so the servers are swamped. I'd give it a couple of days and if it still doesn't work then try some troubleshooting.

Nokia Car Mode on N8 - Bluetooth disconnects when ...

After recently upgrading to Belle, I installed Nokia Car Mode because it is what I had been looking forward to the most. However it simply disconnects the Bluetooth connection to my car's audio system a few seconds (maybe 5 seconds) after I enter the Music module.
Steps to recreate:
Start car (1999 BMW M3 running DICE Mediabridge 1500 connected to CD43 head-unit). Car's Bluetooth mode is on and car is discoverable.
Launch Nokia Car Mode on Nokia N8
Pair phone with car using the Bluetooth pairing button on the launch screen. Pairing is successful so continue by pressing the Start Car Mode button.
Press on the Music button to enter the Music module. Music attempts to start playing automatically. The display on the head-unit says "PLAYING", but no sound from the speakers and then the BT connection ends in about 5 seconds.
Thinking that perhaps my old BT pairing info might be saved/corrupted and not usable with the new Belle firmware, I performed a complete reset and re-installed Belle using a tool whose named I should not mention, but no luck even with a pristine build.
If I uninstall Car Mode from my phone, I can connect to my car and play music just fine. If you have navigation running simultaneously, the navigation prompts get routed through the car audio by virtue of the music player's streaming. However as soon as I re-install Car Mode, the same problem begins and remains until I uninstall it again. (If you don't uninstall Car Mode from your phone, it will launch itself automatically when it detects a BT connection with a car using the relevant BT profile.)
Here's another observation: During the 5 seconds that the phone has not yet disconnected, the Music Player's progress bar moves at a rate of about 1 second forward for every 5 seconds elapsed. So it is as if Car Mode introduces a performance issue to the playback.
So now I am living with the way things were in the Anna days: I can play music and navigation audio through my car just fine, but I really wish I had the extreme convenience that Nokia Car Mode provides (when it works as designed).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just installed Car Mode on my Belle-equipped N8. I have two serious complaints (not sure if this is the best place to post, but here goes
a) (Really inconvenient!) My speed dials DONT WORK! If I press and hold "2" in regular mode, I speed-dial home. In Car Mode, I just see the "2" appear, and it keeps beeping the longer I hold it! There does not appear to be a way to use speed-dial in Car Mode, which is a #FAIL (in my opinion.) You ought to be able to somehow configure this.
b) I love Internet Radio. When you select Music, you go right into the music player and can never select Internet Radio. You ought to be able to add other audio applications to the Music button.
Thanks for listening!

I recently update my iTunes and it deleted all my songs. I was able to get some back via iCloud but I can't seem to sync my old playlist. Any suggestions??

When I plug my Droid Incredible 2 into a car charger the phone is now permanently in"Car Mode" and won't get out. I heard that Droid will fix this, but it hasn't happened. Does anyone know how to fix i

I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone. I bought car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring. It freezes on "car mode". I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed. If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

I am trying to sync my phone to my car, any suggestions?

Are you talking bluetooth for the phone, music player? A few more details would help alot.

Car mode bug in FP2 on 808

(This bug was also present in the betalabs version) It is possible to select 88.10MHz using the rolling wheels, but if you then select another frequency (either using the rolling wheels or one of the three recently used frequency buttons) you can't then reselect 88.10MHz using one of the the three recently used frequency buttons. It's as if a button with '88.10MHz' written in it gets ignored if pressed. I suspect a 'greater than or equal to 88.1' has got coded as 'greater than 88.1' in a line of code, thus causing this bug. It only seems to affect 88.1MHz. 88.2MHz works fine, as do the others.

It's the Car Mode that came automatically as part of the Nokia 808's FP2 update which came out in the past few days. However, the betalabs version I mentioned (which I have just realised was on an old 701 not on the 808) also had the same behaviour. In short, if the frequency 88.10 MHz ends up on one of the large 'previously used frequency' buttons it will not change the frequency to 88.10MHz and just gets ignored. I checked the frequencies at the upper end yesterday and they work properly, so it just a minor glitch.
Please try it yourself and post back. Select 88.1, then, say, 90.0, then reselect 88.1 using the big button only.

"In Car" mode: to avoid texting while driving

Simple solution to Avoid texting while driving.
Just like we swtich on "In Flight" mode...there should be a "In Car "mode. It should do the following things
1) Turn on Bluetooth...and sync with car.
2) If you get a text while in this mode..there will be an automatic response to the text " I am currently driving and can not reply to your text message currently".
3) It should disable you from actively texting.
Thanks,
Chinmay

I love that I found this. I just bought a Honda CR-V and now have the Bluetooth through the car. I absolutely love it. I would love to see a automatic reply when a text comes in to say "I am currently driving, if you need an immediate response please call me so that I can use my Bluetooth". One thing I really love about having the in car Bluetooth, I don't even hear the text come over for some reason. It does not make the sound over the speakers unless I have my radio to Bluetooth for my music.
Now the new Civic comes with a plug where it will read you texts and stuff. They need to make this plug compatible with all vehicles through the USB port in the car.
Come on Apple geniuses you can do this.
Thank you in advance.

Nokia Car Mode with MirrorLink v2.0.6503 - can't u...

So I've bought MirrorLink app for the Nokia 808 FP2 (it's been a pain to buy it) but I've got an update and I can't install it.
I download it just fine, it installes (takes a long time), restarts my phone. And then I open Car Mode and it's still the old version.
Then I go into the store and I get the update again!
Tried 3 time, and no luck.
Anyone got an idea?

Presumably you had to purchase this application by signing in with your Nokia account upon a different Symbian Belle device, as still says application "installed" upon 808 Belle FP2 as basic version pre-installed with device software? It makes no difference if you try to un-install this version first before trying to purchase either.

Car mode sv display brightness

HI i am using car mode on my N8 belle Fp1. but regardless that i use the ``light on`` app to keep the screen light on and i select the brightness to full and even set ``situations`` to have the brightness to full when me ``car`` situation is set. ``car mode`` always turn the lighting/brightness down after a minute or two.That would be very nice at night time but is anoying during day driving and especially with sun glasses.``Car mode`` offer no setting to cancel this behavior. At least if it would thake the ambiant light sensor readings in acount it would would be helpfull.In the next update it would be nice to adress that issue.

So finnally, I found a work around, since I set ``lights on`` to always ask, when detecting the charger, I found out that it will only apply on the top application or home screen pending witch ever come first. The ``lights on`` querry pop up MSG appear at charger connection and before my CAR mode starts. So that's the Car Mode overrides settings that take over and only the ``keep display from blocking`` remain. Then it will revert to it's dimm setting without locking. If I reset My car charger off then back on after Car Mode is up then the display will remain full bright as intended. So let say that I can live with it.

Text messages not being sent with Google Now or in Car Mode

When attempting to send a text message by voice using either Google Now or when in Car Mode, the text message gets created correctly to the right person, and the content of the message is correct. When I confirm to send the message, I always get "Message Not Sent". I'm able to send text messages manually using the standard Messages app. Researching this issue, I've seen that there are some others having the same problem but I have not found or heard of a resolution.

I don't have a Verizon Messages app.
