mikedecaro Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just found another cool tweak for the 4S that works awesome with the AppRadio. It's called Hands-Free Control. It allows you to activate Siri without touching your phone. All you have to say is "Siri, launch Pandora" and the app launches and starts playing. I've read some complaints that it causes problems with making phone calls, but if you don't use the phone feature of the AppRadio (or can't because the microphone sucks), it's a great addon. Edit: Forgot to mention that I use Activator to enable it when the phone is plugged in and disable it when unplugged. Really helps with battery life/accidental triggers when not in the car.

Crakavelli Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Great find, thanks for sharing. I am using activator with this method to launch my appradio app, made the connection much quicker. I am upgrading to the 4(s) end of feb so I will give this app a try then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xradeon Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I bought the app, for me is useless.. I have to repeat several times to get it working.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ronsno Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I am using handsfree but had to turn off listening because it keeps opening my phone. I sent an email to the developer about the issue. Tell me more about using Activator to open appradio. Also how did you set up your hands free to turn on when plugged in and off when not. I tried this but I didn't get it setup properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crakavelli Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Under activator, you can assign any app to launch for power connected. There is also a link in activator for more actions on cydia. One of those is kill apps when power disconnected. When you unplug it, It will stop appradio and pandora etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ronsno Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The instructions for Activator are very minimal. I got handsfree to work on power connected and disconnected, but the app seems to be limited to just one. Is there a way to have multiple programs come on and off. Where are you setting them up, Anywhere, At Home Screen, In Application etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
