Car Mode

New postby jimmyk001 on Mon Sep 27, 2010 10:07 am

Can't seem to access the "new" car mode feature using ver 3.0 on my BB Tour. The option doesn't appear under the General Settings tab. Before this upgrade, the playback buttons were a reasonable size. Now they are tiny. I presume this Car Mode feature puts them back to the reasonable size, but like I said, I can't access that feature. Please help.

Hi Jimmy,

Right now the car mode is limited to touch devices (the option won't even show up on non-touch ones).

For your phone (any any non-touch phones) there are keyboard shortcuts to perform all of the actions. The top left keys are rewind (q,w, etc). The top right are ff (o, p, etc). Space toggles pause. Does that work for you? (I made them smaller on non-touch devices to encourage the kb shortcuts, which should be easier to navigate in a car (since you can do it without looking)).

Marcus, thanks for the reply. I will try the "keyboard" approach. Unfortunately, the keys on my BB Tour are very close together, maybe you can make the playback functions large again on a future version.

BTW, unrelated issue: since the new download, I cannot get anymore "Down Range Radio" episodes. All else seems to be downloading ok. I deleted and reinstalled, still does not work. I did notice that when I added it back, the screen says "last updated 12 days ago" which is not correct since less than a week ago a download was available in itunes. Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hi Jimmy,

That podcast should be fixed in 3.0.2, can you try that and let me know?
