Hello community,

I did a quick search through the forums, unable to find the answer to an issue I assumed to be common to many of us.

I have the DMD-T865 permanently mounted on my bike, with DMD as the starting app. I have some sensitive apps installed, to streamline file exchanging (whatsapp, gmail, onedrive), so I need to have the device password/pattern protected to avoid 3rd party messing when the bike is unattended. The only small issue with this is that it appears that the auto-off app does not start when booting, it does so only after the first screen unlock. The consequence is that on short rides, when I don’t get to unlock the device, it does not turn off when I switch off the bike.

I looked through android’s settings, no success. It appeared promising to use the bluetooth handlebar remote as a “safe device” to keep the screen unlocked (it does), but it doesn’t work to unlock it.

Is there a workaround to this? Is it something workable to put on the development to-do’s list?

Regards

Hello,

I’ve searched the app requests (not thoroughly, but did so) and couldn’t find this one (my apologies if it’s repeated).

For day-to-day commuting, even though I have the T865 permanently installed on the moto, I use my main phone for short trip navigation. It is, simply put, more practical to enter/search for an address with the phone on my hand then place it on the mount, than to reach out and type on the vertically-mounted tablet. Most of the times it feels awkward, afterwards, to be navigating on the phone’s small screen when I have the T865 right in front. Enters the request:

Would it be feasible to have some sort of applet or link installed on my phone, paired with my tablet, to which I could send my current (phone’s) navigation (be it gmaps or waze), receiving that request directly on my tablet with a prompt to “open with DMD or other app?”? I imagine this to allow a swift transition between two separate devices of a same navigation session, regardless of the involved apps.

Regards, and kudos for the excellent – and continuously improving – ecosystem.
