Re: best car dock for note 3?
Seriously nice dock. I might go that route, if I can come to grips with the price. Pun intended.
Tasker should be able to do what you want FBA, so long as the dock puts the phone in dock mode, which it seems like it does.
There are plenty of apps that will do this. I use Llama, but I think my dock was wired for home dock mode instead of car dock mode and I can fix that i a few minutes. The apps I have tried, when dock mode triggers (on docking), can do many things. Currently, I have an event/ profile that should the following when it docks:
1) Turns WiFi off
2) Goes to full brightness
3) Turns off screen timeout
4) Turns Bluetooth on
5) Turns GPS on
It can also use location as a trigger, and it can use time for triggers as well, so I use that to put the phone in "sleep mode" every night at midnight. It's a profile I created that turns WiFi, Mobile data and Auto Sync off, but leaves the phone on - so only the phone will ring.
AT 6 AM, it goes in to my "workday" mode, which turns the radios back on...and if it's not in my home, it turns WiFi off, until it finds a known WiFi enabled location.
I'm ordering another one of his docks for another vehicle.
From what I can see, once I get this dock into car dock mode instead of home dock mode, everything should work as I want.
I tried Tasker, but I wasn't impressed by the UI, so I went with Llama, which was free and no ads.
