Turn off Text to Speech when in Car Dock

[jthorpe]

I would but I actually have an aircard. The tethering we use is for sending text messages back and forth using the SMS function of PDANET. It keeps us off the radio a lot when we aren't driving and was a great tool for communicating things we didn't want people with scanners to hear. So much for that. The good news is that even in the dock, the phone hears my voice well and is pretty accurate so that works for now. Just disappointed in Motorola for some of the "features" on this phone....

Now would I trade it back and downgrade for the functionality I miss? Oh heck no. This phone does rock... I'm getting super high speeds on speedtest.net and the applications come up FAST.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I did some research and did find the google car home app. Here is the kicker though. You can't get it on the market so you have to do a google search for it and then move it to your phone via usb and install it from there. So this is the link to the process I followed:

This is the way to go. I tried just installing the apk with out freezing the stock car dock....it still popped up and screwed with my BT(command one). I only had to purchase TI backup to use the freeze function that enabled me to freeze the motorola car dock.

I bought the command one to be compatible with the bionic and it worked great outside of the car dock. But once you placed it in the dock the motorola cardock software screwed the functionality of their own blutooth headset (command one with motospeak). Go figure... But luckily this community exists and now since following the steps to freeze the stock car dock..My command one works great in the dock and i can voice reply to incoming text messages..YAY! Added bonus...I gained an even better car dock app..

Awesome news. I'm glad it worked out for you. Mine has been working great. I guess when the next upgrade comes out, we'll have to do it all over again but I will wait on that one until I know the phone can be rooted again.

Now if I could only modify the car dock to pass data. Dang, I really wish Motorola hadn't done what they did with this car dock.
