N95 always "on" in the car ?

Hi all,
How to I change my N95 to be always on ( no screen saver and screen lighted ) when connected to a wireless car kit installation ( bluetooth )?
The rebuild Cark-91 works excellent and N95 confirm -car installation- by a sign on the screen.
Note: N95 is also connected to the car power while driving.
Anyone figured it out ?
Regards,
tomasf

There are 2 apps I know of to keep the screen lit up for you.

  • Can iPhone be stopped from always playing music in the car?

    Hi.
    My sister & I both have an iPhone. (Mine is a 4; hers is a 5C.)
    Until we bought a new car in April, the battery consumption on our phones was quite acceptable. The problem is that our new car has a Bluetooth connection, and it seems to 'take over' our iPhones whenever they're connected to it via Bluetooth. Every time we go to our phones after being in the car we find that the phone is playing music, even though we've not been listening to that music in the car. (99% of the time we're in the car we listen to the car radio, so the music is playing in vain on our phones.)
    The music isn't bothering us of course, because we can't hear it. But we've been finding that it has been dramatically affecting the battery life on our iPhones. We seem to be charging them far more now than we did before.
    Is there any way of stopping our iPhones from always playing music when they're connected via Bluetooth to the car please? Our car is a Ford Fiesta fitted with something called SYNC.
    (We don't want to turn Bluetooth off of course, because it provides hands-free use of the iPhones for talking on the telephone. We just want it to stop playing music.)

    Check the settings for your car's stereo. It is telling the phone to start playing music when connected. It's not a setting on the phone.

  • Car Stereo use and Nano - always starts at the beginning

    when I plug my nano into my car stereo, it ALWAYS starts playing the first song by the first artist. Always. Even starts up as soon as the stereo recognizes the players.  How about resume last song?  Or not playback at all until I select something?  Is this a iPod setting?  Maybe it is the stereo setting.

    Toyota with a Pioneer GPS with audio.  I did discover that when using a classic iPod vs. a nano, the playback worked as expected.  It picks up right where it left off.  So, it's definitely the nano, but to be honest, I really don't know what generation the thing is.  I don't think it is gen 7.  It was a gift.

  • N95 drops connectiohn to 616 car kit

    Hi
    I've had a 616 car kit working reasonabley well with my N80 in sim access mode for almost a year - it occasionally lost connection and I had to restart the car kit to re-establish the connection. I've had an N95 for 2 days and both days within about 5 minutes of connecting the car kit shows lost connection with N95 and the phone has no signal indicator there is just the 3G at the bottom. It does show it is in remote sim mode. The only way to get it working is to switch off and restart the phone.
    Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
    Andy

    Just to add weight to this thread I have the same problem, reliable operation with N80, but my N85 sometimes gets into a state where the phone is stuck halfway into remote SIM mode and the 616 cannot connect.
    I have to turn off the car kit, turn off the phone, turn the phone back on, then finally reboot the car kit and it usually, but not always, comes abck up.
    This often seems to happen when I have had the car unlocked, but the ignition not on, so the car kit may have tried to start but not fully, though this could be coincidence, would love to hear if anyone finds a solution for this!!

  • Who can solve iSync problem with Nokia N95? (I use the Nokia plug already)

    Hello
    Since I bought my new cool Mac:, I sync my N95 with iSync and the Nokia N95 plug-in. Thinking at first that is works flawlessly (as other members here seem to think as well) I later found out, that if I make changes to any calendar or "to do" description! on either the N95 or the Mac it syncs, but only up until a certain number of characters. If I exceed this number, the description on the phone will simply be cut off - in the iCal it still fully appears though.
    Rather surprising, since when syncing with a PC via the Nokia PC suite there is no such an issue. All my often lengthy descriptions are fully put on the phone. And if I sync back there are no problems either. So I guess it has to do with the iSync protocol or this Nokia N95 iSync plug-in? Any ideas, solutions...? Any help greatly appreciated!

    The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

  • Field Report: We Test Drive the Car Dock

    The Droid X  can do a lot of things. But, can it do them all at once? That is the proposition behind the car dock. To me, this is the ultimate test of this multifunction device. The dock itself is just a big piece of plastic that can be suctioned to the windshield or (if you REALLY want to screw up a major piece of your car) it can be mounted to the dashboard via a glue-on disk. Simple enough. I mount my GPS devices to the far left bottom corner of the windshield (so I can actually SEE traffic ahead). My fusebox (2003 Audi A4) is just below that. So, pull a fuse and add a simple device that plugs into the fuse spot and gives you a place to slide in the fuse you took out, plus add another fuse to power the big red wire coming off of it. To this I crimp connect on a female cigarette lighter connector. Most parts from AutoZone or RadioShack. Now I have a spot to plug in the unit without running wires all over the dashboard. You can choose a fuse that is always on or only goes on with the ignition. Done? Nope. One little problem. The dock does not contain any connection to the audio out. You have to run a separate wire (UGH!) to the headphone jack. The dock does contain a little grip to hold onto the wire so it just leaves a short dangling piece of wire tethered to the unit rather than lying loose. A nice touch, but I would really rather they get it together with these Android devices and make a standard for a DOCK CONNECTOR!!! Sorry, my pet peeve with these phones.
    Once mounted and wired I fire up the car and the phone. Great, the thing is charging (settings>about phone>status>battery status = Charging). I see that, because the phone is in a dock, you get a new "intro" menu instead of the home screen. It appears that the car dock and the multimedia dock have a big magnet in them that triggers some new menus in the phone when you place the phone in the dock. 6 BIG buttons. Easy to hit and giving you the right options (Calling, My Location, Music, Voice Search, Last App or programmable, and Close). You can see what it looks like without a car dock by going to the main apps page and choosing "Car Dock".  
    I choose music. Again, 6 big buttons (Replay, Start/Stop, Forward, Back, Shuffle, continuous play - at least I think that is what the 2 arrows in an oval shape mean. I never use it). I fire up the stereo and notice LOTS of ignition noise. The music starts and the noise is still there... unacceptable. O.K. Back to Best Buy for a ground loop isolator. They sell these in several flavors. Try to get the one (online - e-Bay) with 3.5mm jacks to minimize the number of adapters. Search e-bay for "ground loop" and pick the 3.5mm one. About $12 - $15 shipped.  I could only get the RCA jack unit at the local Best Buy, so, back to RadioShack for a bunch of adapters to get the 3.5mm cables in and out of the thing. Once done... silence. No noise. But, you have to tinker with the music volume via the rocker switch. Thankfully, they made the dock so the switch is accessible.
    O.K. now we want to go back to that big car dock menu. Home button? No, you must press the Menu switch (or pull down the menu from the status bar at the top of the screen and choose "Car Dock" from there - remember, you are multitasking now). There it is. Choose "My Location". You get the screen with a map (after you turn on the method of location - GPS, cell towers, or both) and 3 buttons on the right side (Traffic, Nav, and Google Maps). There is also a little compass button on the bottom right (locate me) and a looped around arrow on the top right (return to the car dock menu). From here you have to choose "Nav" to fire up navigation. The next screen gives you the "My location" and "Endpoint" choices. But nowhere is there "Recent" available. There is a small list icon to the right of the 2 input boxes. Tapping the icon next to the "Endpoint" box gives you the choice to go to a contact's address. Pretty cool. But, if you tap the "Endpoint" box you get the keyboard. Here is where things get a bit weird. There IS a "recent" feature, sort of, but you have to actually start typing something to get at it. Once you type any letter and wait a couple of seconds, the thing tries to match a recent address with what you are typing. Type one letter and you get a scrolling list (left and right scroll) with everything beginning with that letter. OR, you can just tap the microphone button and enter the address via voice. Once you have a destination, you can nav to it. Music playing (volume set by rocker), navigating with voice commands that (unfortunately) click off the music and then click it back on again. I would have preferred it just left the music playing and did the commands OVER the music. Maybe in the next release???? Anyway, the navigate volume is also adjustable. When you have the nav screen up, the rocker switch will adjust the nav command volume.
    Great! Tooling along, music playing, navigating to a destination. But, what about when a call comes in? Well, there is good news and bad news. The unit switches over to the call screen, music stops, and turn by turn voice commands cease. That's right. You better either stop talking or pull over. You MAY be able to switch back to the Nav screen to at least SEE the turns. I did not test that yet. I'll give the group an update next week. Also, your car stereo becomes the caller's voice and the units microphone picks you up. Totally hands free. And it is pretty clear on both ends (yours and the caller's). Call ends and you MAY go back to the nav screen. If not, you must pull down the running apps from the top menu bar and choose Nav. You can also choose Car Dock and get that menu to go to the music player or go to Nav.
    On one trip, it performed flawlessly. On another it was a disaster. The address it came up with was correct but the location it showed as "you have arrived" was 1/2 mile short. Same street just not there yet. When I tried to enter in my address to return home the thing rebooted. Nav got wierd on the way home and I just gave up. I'll give it a few more trip to see if it is going to work reliably. Till then, running music and making/taking calls appears to be stable.
    My recommendation: practice first before you actually have to use the navigate function. It appears a little buggy. Also, carry a dedicated (Garmin) nav unit along as a spare. These devices NEED a cell signal to pull the map routes. Unlike a dedicated GPS with the maps built in, these units need coverage to pull a map. If you are navigating and lose signal, that is O.K. because (we believe) it pulled the maps for the entire route. However, if you go off the route AND lose coverage, you may be stuck. With all the memory these devices have, you should have the option to take a gig or so and keep the entire country map loaded. Next release?
    In summary, the car dock and multitasking capabilities work, mostly. Like everything Android, there is a learning curve and it ain't perfect.
    Good Luck,
    Mike

    To answer some of your questions
    1 - Phone Call - You can get back to Navigation simply when you are on a phone call. Just press hard button 'Back'. Sometimes you get back to the navigation sometimes not. If not, then pull down the notification menu at the top and choose navigation. Back to maps at that point. The only thing at this point is that you lose the little green light bottom left corner. That is your traffic that shows a potential traffic tie up.
    2 - End point - You can use your contacts as the end points. For safety, I input places I want to go to to my contacts with their address's. That way it is much easier than to type in the address on the road. You just select contacts, then scroll up/down to the contact where you are going.
    3 - You can close (put to the background actually) the car dock program by pressing close. I put an icon on the home screen for the Navigation program so I can go directly into navigation. You can also program one of the buttons for Navigation (the one called App) so you don't have to go to My Location to get to the Navigation. Saves a step or two.
    4 - Yes I have had the phone reboot in the dock a couple of times (owned the phone since it came out). I had it reboot twice in one trip one day, but removed the app that I just installed the night before and had it happen maybe once since.
    5 - Personally, I would rather the music cut off when voice is telling me directions, if I ran that way. I turn off the voice directions because I can see when to turn, and have become good at seeing the turn within .1 miles of the turn. If it talked over the music, you might miss voice. But that is my personal opinion
    6 - I have not had the problem of the map being off. Every time it shows me at the location (with picture of the location) I have been less than 1/2 a football field from the destination.  Not minimizing your experience, I just haven't seen it happen to me.

  • Nokia 5230 - using it with the car speaker

    i possible to use the nokia 5230 with my car speaker. I want to use my phone on the car speaker, while driving. I am able to use aux to connect the nokia to my mp3player in the car, but i cant seems to use it on the voice calls. (it works fine if i use it to play mp3 on the phone)
    is there any instruction how to use Nokia5230 with car speaker system?

    The phone would work connected by a 3.5 to 3.5 lead in as much as if you received a call whilst connected the music would stop and you would hear the caller through the car speakers, but you would still have to use the mike on the phone to speak to the caller . You need a bluetooth car kit to use it for calls properly. A work arround would be to use a splitter lead (one 3.5 extender with 2 inputs) then plug your phone into both a wired headset and the cars auxiliary input ! But doing this would mean a lot of wires !!!

  • Why am I unable to play games on my Touch if WiFi is unavailable. The kids like to play games in the car ?

    The kids like to play games in the car. i dont always want them to use my phone. I bought an Ipod touch partially for this reason but games can not be played if we are not close to WiFi. If would have known this I would not have bought it. Can I change this in any way. in Settings??

    Some games require an internet connection and some do not. It seems that the ones yu kids are using require an internert connection. The iPod can only connect to the internet via wifi.
    If your phone and data plan supported tethering/persone hotspot then use you phone to connect to the iternet and the iPods can then connect to your phone via wifi (or bluetooth for iPhone tethering)

  • Can I use my Ipad 3 as a GPS in the car?

    I have 3/4g and was wondering if I could get step by step (and ideally "voice") directions via GPS in the car?

    The problems with the Apple Maps app were overblown. Yes, there were some isolated accuracy and direction issues when it was released, but Apple has made a lot of improvement since then. I use it on my iPhone all the time and have yet had problems. It doesn't always choose the same route I would have chosen, but that's with all navigation apps.

  • Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

    Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
    PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

    I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
    What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

  • I'm running V10.6.8 and the system is not recognizing a San Disc adapter that I plug into the side of the keyboard. This always worked in the past. Whats changed?

    I'm running V10.6.8 and the system is not recognizing the presence of a San Disc (SDHC) adapter that I plug into the left side of the keyboard. This always worked in the past. Whats changed? I can't upload my images to a folder.

    Another item I'd found when getting an SD card for an older camera was the lack of backward support from the SD card if it was too new, while a newer camera can sometimes use an older SD card at a slower read-write speed. There are limits and ceilings on what kind of card works with old/new stuff.
    So I ended up taking a nice SD card back to one store and had to settle on a 'walmart kinda dubious kingston two pack a cure' for the older Panasonic Lumix. Smaller capacity but seems to work OK for the era. I don't trust kingston with macs, but this 10 y/o Lumix seems to not care about that.
    Hopefully you can obtain the correct cards, because some stores only sell parts for their inventory of cameras. And some adapters are limited too.
    Depending on what I'm doing with the card and the camera it goes with, I attach the camera to the computer and not just the card in a reader. That way I can file items inside the camera SD card in a way the camera won't overwrite them. Later when I save everything from the card into an external hard disk drive, all my filed folders of images by date (I created in the SD) appear in order, in the later archive. Easier too, when I burn to DVD or CD media, to create yet another archive away from the computer or the camera.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • N95 not disconnecting from 616 car kit correctly

    We have 2 cars that have 616's and users with N95's.  Both kits fitted professionally to a BMW and a VW, and phone as kits are about a year old.  Everything has been working great, but over the last month they have both developed the same problem, where the N95 still thinks it's connected to the kit, and needs restarted.  They can then go back into the car again and it connects fine.  The firmware on the phones have been upgraded, but the problem still happens.
    Does anyone have any ideas, is it the phones or the car kits that are having the problem?
    They are connecting to the kit in sim access mode.

    Thanks for your help.
    When I wrote my post there was no special N95 compatible version of the contacts downloader.
    Meanwhile there is a compatible version of the contacts downloader and with it I am able to download my contacts from the N95 to the Nokia 610.
    You can find the N95 compatible version in the download section of the Nokia 610.

  • "Press any key to mute ringtone" feature = never hear calls when in the car. Any fix?

    Is there any way to turn it off?
    I keep my Centro in a belt case this is always clipped to my belt while riding in the car.
    It's a very nice, rugged case I picked up that is the perfect size, but the keys easily get bumped while I'm driving.
    So, when a call comes in it will only ring for a 1/2 second before one of the keys gets bumped and silences the ringtone.  It's really annoying to not even know that anyone called me until I check the Centro for some reason.
    Is there any way to disable the "press any key to mute ringtones" feature?  Any setting / hack / tweak / etc?

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    Unfortunately there isn't a way to disable this feature. However, you can probably look into a car kit/ clip so you can slip the device on your car in an easy to reach position. Another alternative would be to take the belt like and clip it on your sun visor for a temporary fix.
    I'm sorry I wasn't able to completely resolve it but I hope my advice helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

  • N82 - 4th time repair...always comes back the same...

    Hi, I really don´t know if my post fits well in here, but I´m getting bored about the repair service that has been made to my N82, and I hope I can get some help in here.
    My mobile phone only has 6 months and when it reached the first 4 months started to heat a lot, even when turned off. The battery only lasts for 5 hours and then the phone just dyes. I took it to my Nokia distributor in Portugal and today I´ll take it there again for the 5th time to go to repair... Last time I pick it up from repair it was yesterday, and they say the phone went to the factory to be repaired 2 times, but it always comes back with the same problem.
    I just want to know what can I do, because it´s a new phone and it was expensive, it´s an N82... can someone tell me what do I need to do so that I can move forward on this?
    Do I need a miracle so that Nokia can give me a new phone or at least "really" repair this one?
    Sorry if my frustrastion doesn´t fit 100% on this forum, but the Portuguese Nokia is not really helping me on this... and it hurts to buy an expensive phone from the top brand and cannot used it...at least I have my 7yr old 6210 which is still working as new!
    Thank you...
