Default Auto launch of HTC Locations on car dock

Just received my car dock thanks to Sikety. I find that immediately docking the Amaze to the Car Dock it will launch HTC Locations.

This is annoying because you can't exit the app and your phone is in dock forever, meaning all calls made would automatically placed to speaker.

Has anyone figured out a way to resolve this without rooting their phone? When I dock it, I don't want it to launch anything.

I don't have the car dock, but I do have the desk dock. I know that when the phone is on dock mode, you can press the menu button to pull up settings for the dock mode. Maybe you can play with the settings there?

Got my car dock yesterday and I have the same problem as described above. There is no setting for disabling the auto start of htc locations. Within the locations app you have to manually close locations (probably you have to turn GPS on before or you won't come into the locations app)

Hmm, this is interesting. I've got the car dock as well, but I don't seem to have the HTC locations app on my phone. When I put my phone in the car dock, it puts the phone in "Car Mode", but didn't really do much else. I bought Car Home Ultra from the market, now when I put the phone in the car dock, it puts the phone in Car Mode and Car Home Ultra launches when the phone is in Car Mode. So, it works just like you'd want. I'm completely stock, which is why it's curious you have HTC locations and I don't.
