Car panel activating itself - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK so I've had my EVO roughly 3 months. The past couple of weeks the Car Panel app comes on whenever I plug my phone to the charger. I have no clue as to why this could be happening. I'm using Sprint's charger and their 2200mah extended battery if that matters. Any help would be awesome.

First of all Welcome! I actually recently seen someone facing this same issue lately. One user suggested cleaning your USB port, since that's simple, clean it good and pick it with a toothpick or something. Next, you could try uninstalling car panel.

mine just started doing it today... very annoying

Mine did the same thing a while back. I tried cleaning the USB port, it didn't help. I took it to Sprint, they cleaned it again & did a factory reset. I haven't had the problem since, I'm not sure which fixed it, but it's fixed.

Yes it's extremely annoying!!
Thanks for the welcome! And no luck with cleaning it, it still pops up. As for deleting it, it's a stock app. I'm not rooted so that's not an option, unfortunately.

If not rooted master reset, if yes remove it. Does anyone even use that?

Hey there. I remember I had the same exact problem a while ago. I think I was on a CM build but can't remember which one. I think I attempted to delete the app with Titanium but for some reason the app would still keep popping back up...like a horror movie character.
I think what finally got it resolved was going into recovery and wiping the Dalvik and regular cache and then reflashing the CM rom/GAAPS

I figured out a solution!!! So simple, I feel like a moron not seeing it a lot sooner. LOL. I simply went into the settings menu within the app & unchecked auto-display, therefore the app has to be manually "turned on"

Lost phone functionality.

Can not pull up dialpad. Phone button on bottom of home screen does nothing. Please help. Worked fine this morning. Sat in pocket all day at work. Doesn't work this afternoon. I've had nothing but quirky little thing happen to my phone since the upgrade. No alarm functionality. Then that came back, now this.

Try a battery pull reboot?
Had this problem soon after gb update. Battery pull didn't help. Had to do full restore to factory condition.

Camera issue

Has anybody else had an issue with the camera view having multi colored lines and the it freezes. Sometimes if I do it fast enough I can take the picture and it looks great. I am all stock btw and it has been doing this straight out of the box.

Clear data on camera app and let me know if it continues
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
yeah, it still continues after i clear data. tried a factory reset and it still continues. just rooted and im gonna install another rom to see it my factory camera app was somehow corrupted. i dont think its a hardware issue, but i guess we will find out.
Edit: Still does it. If i force stop the camera app after it freezes and try to reopen it, it will just pop up with the camera symbol then instantly close.

Try a different camera app perhaps?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Sounds like a software issue i would root and try a different camera app like knipp suggested you could also try adb pushing a new camera app if you dont want to root but keep a backup of your original if you go that route. Or try one from the market im not positive but I think they may rely on the stock app
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
If it's still doing it with another ROM it's a hardware issue and you need to return while under warrentee still.
The ones from the market dont work, i do think that they rely on the stock camera. besides the ones from the market, i dont know what to try.
Edit: I did try 2 different roms, one with stock kernel and one with custom kernel and it still does it. Guess im gonna have to unroot and bring it back to Verizon. Would they give me a new one right there or do you think i would have to wait for them to mail me another one, i bought it brand new and have only had it since friday. Been doing this right out of the box.
They will most likely mail you a new one with a box to mail the Old one back in

I am very pleased with my local Verizon store today. I went in and told them the problem and without any hassle they opened up their cabinet and handed me a brand new box. Camera works great on this one and I am a happy camper.
Edit: they also gave me a $50 mail in rebate on top of the discounts that I already got online.

Answer phone, auto to speaker

Every time I answer my G2 its automatically put on speaker phone... not a huge problem but sometimes annoying when trying to answer phone quietly or while at work. I can't use search at moment as my bro is using computer for something so I thought is ask here.
And no I don't just have an Atrix, I also have a G2.

you can try clearing data in dialer or look for a setting there that is checked that shouldn't be. sounds rom specific so flashing a new one after a full wipe should cure this fine

Did full wipe and flashed newer CM7 and that did nothing for me. I will trying clearing data in dialer as well as looking through some settings.
Any other suggestions?

Screen not timing out

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?
This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Yes I'd also like to know as it is a bit annoying and killing my battery if I dont catch it!
This used to happen to me too. I even returned phone and it started happening again. This seems to be a bug. I flashed a new rom and it never happened again

Pandora keeping screen on

I'm having a problem with Pandora keeping the screen on when plugged in to the aux port I have to lock the the screen or it won't time out and it has only happened since their latest update. I was wondering if I'm the only one with this problem or if someone could help me out. I'm on s3rx 2.0 and decimalman kernel if that helps

Revert to the old version?
Mine is doing the same thing. Pretty freaking annoying.
It is extremely annoying, I would assume it's a "feature" to the companies paying for video advertisement.
On that note, when video advertisements come on if you turn the screen off it skips the advertisement.
Making the iPhone jealous one user at a time.
Not only that but my girlfriends Pandora as well as mine keep randomly shutting off and freezing. any one else having these issues?

Ok guys, this is really stupid but I just figured this out. I feel like a total Herb for not noticing this earlier.
Open Pandora and go to the Settings tab. Go to Advanced. Put a check in the "Conserve battery" check box. Hit back. That's it. The screen will turn off on its own now.
I don't know why this option automatically changed itself in the new version of Pandora, but checking that box lets my screen auto shut off now.
Good lord.
