Had to re-install the app (Paid for) on a Note8. Now it diverts all call to voicemail without ringing, even when the app isn't on. I had to ring my provider and get voicemail reset so that I can once again receive calls.The app itself is pretty out of date and when installing it it was suggested that I check for an update. I emailed the supplier but got no answer. DON'T INSTALL THIS APP UNLESS YOU WANT PHONE PROBLEMS!
Reviews for Car Home Ultra
I had to uninstall and reinstall app, wipe cache, and then it started to not force close. Only bug, which is really annoying, left I came across is the volume of app/dashboard always lowers when I return to the home page of dashboard. Doesn't matter how I return to the app, it will lower the preset volume by about 1/4 from Max volume preset. Yes, I set volume to max in settings.
The speed limit notice goes off once I put my car in gear. The interface for Spotify keeps freezing. I have sent 2 support request in the last couple of months with zero response. I really hope this can be fixed. I'm a professional driver and I need something reliable.
UPDATE: Same unanswered question from 2022. Emailed developer 2x. Is there a method to backup and restore the data? Have a new phone and would like to keep my setup. Just a couple of suggestions for enhanced usability - 1) Allow to browse and select for icon file type(s) when creating a "shortcut popup", 2) Ability to press + hold on defined shortcuts so they can be "moved" to another position and/or screen.
Truly useful app. From being a full 5 star app stops one thing only. Please make the pages number editable so that one can choose how many pages they want to see (there's no need for all of them to be visible if one wants only 3) And a suggestion please add an option to have two different media pages ie. one for one player (music) and the second one for an other player (audiobooks)
I guess the failure to autolaunch upon BT connection is another casualty of Google's nanny-state fiddling? Edit: thanks for the feedback! Still an excellent app. Bought and used it for years without issues and would buy it again. @everyone having this issue: find an old version of Trigger app (made by Coleridge apps, no longer on the play store but I use v. 9.3.3(614)) and you can set an automation to autolaunch CHU when your phone connects to a BT device. Hopefully that works for you!
I've been using this app "stand alone" for years and more recent in conjunction with Android Auto without any problems. Unfortunately after installing the latest version it stopped playing nice with AA, the speed indicator has stopped working and sits at 00. It still works stand alone, not connected to AA. Anyone else seen this happen, is there a tweak to get it working again?
Been using this for years. Direct Dial recently not supported? Also Speedometer no longer works. Toggles back and forth from 7 to 10 mph. UPDATE 1/15/23 Support had me review permissions needed for Direct Dial. Somewhere in one of my recent security updated permission for the app was disabled. Once I re-enabled it Direct Dial no works again. Thank for the help with that. Speedometer still not working. All location permissions are allowed.
Good App, gets the basics done easily. My only real issues are no native voice commands and the biggest one, the fact that when I use it, I can't use my Sat Nav App, Sygic without it being forced into landscape mode. Unfortunately I can't position my phone in landscape in the car, there's simply no room. Makes Sygic unusable when launched from your app.
It beats Android Automotive because it is much more customizable. However there are some improvements I'd like to see. CHU doesn't manage switching to Pandora from other media playes very well. The "CHU features" should include optional on/off toggles for wifi, bluetooth, and cellular data. When I try to edit an icon it takes me to my photos, not icon files. I agree with another reviewer that the tiles should be draggable. The media page should include a link to Audio Affects.
