New droid dock????

[ejlax]

I am running the Greek35T version of 2.1. And i noticed something in my setting when my phone was in my car dock. In the sounds and display settings, there was a new setting in there call "Dock Audio" that only is visible when the phone is in the dock. Does anyone out there no what this could be referring to?

Maybe since the phone is in dock mode theres different audio sounds that come out during dock mode, so maybe it just controls what sounds go off during dock mode? for instance, if its docked on ur desk at night, and u dont want txts or calls to make a sound?

Well i thought about that, but it won't let you make any changes once it is in there. Since this is a port from the Nexus Rom, could this be for the bluetooth dock that is upcoming for the Nexus?

Seems like that would make the most sense. "Dock Audio" to me implies that the dock itself has speakers. Then again, if it's BT, I don't know why it wouldn't just use the normal media volume level like other BT speaker devices would.

It would be nice if it would automatically enter speaker phone mode for all calls when it was placed in the car dock.

Umm .... maybe that's what you want. But I don't want no stinkin' "automatic speaker phone mode" when it is in the car dock.

I would love dock audio. I would try to use internet radio...if supported by android.

An option for it would be nice though. When I have it up in the dock (I don't have a headset.. should probably get one) sometimes I want to answer the phone while it's still in there. Having to switch it to speakerphone every time seems odd. They should make it an option within Car Home.
