So my phone has this problem where my phone will randomly open the car dock. When the phones locked, unlocked, when I using it, it just randomly opens. I've reflashed roms to change and hope it was just one Rom but it still does it.
I even switched to miui which doesn't have a car dock and I got the car dock notification in the top bar and it kicked the gps on.

That is weird. Have you attempted to remove, freeze or rename the car dock app? If not, give it a try. Using a system level file manager like Root Explorer or adb, maneuver to the /system/app folder and either rename or delete .apk file associated with the car panel. I've deleted mine and I'm not sure of the exact name of it.

I've seen where some usb cables have the extra pin grounded and the car dock will open when plugged into any sort of charger, unchecking the option to start automatically under settings/dock will fix that.
Are you saying it opens without being plugged into anything all by itself?
I have had that same problem for about 5 months. I'm guessing u also have speakerphone active every time you start a call, right? What I always do is after I flash a new Rom go in to car panel- settings- and disable auto launch then open titanium backup and uninstall car panel. This doesn't work as good on sense 2.0 Roman tho, it won't ever actually pop up but it will be in your task bar constantly. Sorry u r going thru this too cuz I know how pissed it used to make me.
You probably have a problem with your USB port. Best thing to do is take it in to Sprint and get it looked at.

Thanks for all the quick replies guys. Yeah I figured it's probably a grounded pin somewhere making the phone think that it's always docked. I'm using MIUI now and I don't think I can uninstall the car panel part.
But by far the most annoying part is the phone always defaulting to speakerphone, totally awesome when I'm at college haha.
My girlfreind has the issue on her phone but only when using a certain charger. I didn't realize the problem she has with speakerphone activating were related. Does turning off the dock auto-launch also fix the speaker phone issue?

Is there one? If so, where?
I'm starting my own unless someone can point me to an already existing one.
I did not have these issues b4 Froyo.
1. Bluetooth earpiece looses audio (cuts in and out).
2. Phone looses ring tones on MiniSD card (they come and go).
3. Google Nav pauses Pandora, but does NOT un-pause it.
4. When powered by cig lighter with USB connection, phone thinks it's connected to a computer and dis-ables the SD card.

Unfortunately, these problems are not universal, and for the most part, not directly related to Froyo. That said, sounds like a good idea to me, so I will add mine.

I actually don't think this is so much a problem with Froyo as it is that the ap devs haven't upgraded their aps to work with it yet. It does the same thing on Last.fm for me. Pandora doesn't resume for me after a phone call either.

Sounds like you have a bad car adapter, mine works fine.
5. Shootme screen caps don't show up in the gallery until the next reboot. Need to have some way to refresh the gallery without a reboot. So far the only way I have been able to see the pictures is with ESfile explorer, all other aps cannot see them until I reboot the phone.

Worked b4 Froyo, doesn't work after Froyo. How should I determine who or what is at fault?
Tried two bluetooth earpieces. Same issue with both. Both worked fine b4 Froyo.
Google made Froyo, and don't they also make GNav?
Ringtones aren't an app. They worked from the SD card b4 Froyo. In fact, they worked AFTER Froyo. Until today.
The cig charger still charges the phone, it hasn't stopped working. It's the PHONE that thinks it's connected to a computer. And only since Froyo.
I hate to say it, but it's starting to feel a little like, gulp, WinMo!

When it is open press menu and go to options and it will say something about automatic launch, un check that, then if you are rooted get titanium backup and uninstall it from there. Are you having problems with the speaker phone being on every time you make or receive a call? That's my problem and I can't figure out how to stop it.

Assuming you mean Car Panel.
Is it docked? If not, you should probably reflash your ROM and if you are restoring using Titanium Backup, don't restore Car Panel or the system data for it.
Car Panel
my evo cm7 wouldnt charge in my car even though the car panel app came up. i uninstalled it through Titanium Backup and now my phone charges!
My wives EVO is having the same issues. It started on FreshRom, so I switched to MikFroyo, and its doing the same thing. Would flashing a new radio have anything to do with it, because FreshRom was fine until a few days ago?

My friend's phone just started doing this. His USB started bugging out at the same time so I'm thinking the two issues might be related.
i fixd the car home thing!
ok.. for those who are seeing car home annoyingly pop up.. here is my solution.
1. extract the zip file that u use to install the google apps on ur computer.
2. once extracted, delete the car home apk found under system>app> carhomegoogle.apk.
3. once deleted, go to the first sub folder in the extrated folder. ( the folder should have two folders in there called META-INF and system)
4. highlight those folders and create a .zip file.
5. rename it something simple ( gapps may work. since your are replacing the original gapps.zip folder)
6. mount on to the root of ur sd card.
this part might sound a bit extreme but this is the only way to make sure..
7. go to ur phone's recovery, and reinstall cm7 and the new google apps.
thats it.
the key here is to delete the car home app from the zip file. since anything inside cant be tampered with,u must extract it and modify it that way. then remake a new .zip file that does not contain car home.
enjoy.
i am now car home free.
for anyone still having this issue, which just started for me this morning, it seems to be a hardware issue not a Software issue. I could fiddle with my USB jack and it would stop for a few then start back up i am guessing mine is worn down and causing it to send a false call for a car dock.
Just look up "Dock no-op" on the market that fixed it for me.
Titanium back up works well too. It's also faster and easier in my opinion.

Ok so having changed Rom recently from cm7 to leedroid all of a sudden the location service keeps starting up by itself and is wrecking my brain so bad i want to throw the phone at the wall!!!!
it starts up all the time even during calls which puts the phone onto loudspeaker, any ideas how to uninstall location as i dont use it anyway, or anyone got any suggestions as to a rom that doesnt have it on ?
Any help greatly appreciated
I remember reading something somewhere about the phone thinking it's being connected to a car dock all the time. It sounds like that's what is going on in your case, it would explain the GPS and the loudspeaker for calls - this is what you want when you're connected to a car dock.
If you don't use the car dock (I have never used it but I know people do) you could uninstall it, see if that fixes it
edit: found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901175
yeah found that one myself mate thanks, i uninstalled locations through cmd then switched off plugged usb in and switched on, this worked but only for one or two calls. gonna have a look and try uninstall the car dock app, if anyone knows how to do it , that would be great !!!

Good luck with it
I'm currently running Re-Calked.E4GT.0.2.1.FI25. For the most part everything is solid, and getting some of the best battery life I've ever gotten out of the phone (24 hrs with ~2hrs screen time no problem if in a good signal area).
The one little problem I'm having is any time I finish a call using my in-car bluetooth device, the screen blacks out for a while then I get a message saying Com.android.phone has stopped.
The device is still connected to bluetooth (music starts streaming again, etc...), but if I try to make another call, the dialer won't enable bluetooth (a lot of weirdness about finding a bluetooth device when you tap the bluetooth button on the dialer UI). A hot-boot puts everything back again the way it should be until my next call. This happens 100% of the time on bluetooth, never on a regular call - speaker or otherwise.
I don't think it's Re-Calked's fault, I've experienced the same problem on the stock ROM (FH25). It was fine on FH13, and I'm fairly certain FI03 was good too, but I got dismal battery performance on these kernels.
Any suggestions? This is a real downer for me ... I'd hate to have to try an older ROM since everything else is effin' fantastic! (BIG thanks tdunham!!)
UPDATE:
If anyone else runs into this problem, flash the FF18 Phone from THIS POST (thanks tdundham)
The problem appears to be related to the phone being in landscape orientation, which is only available during a call when docked in a car dock.
I'm using the Official Samsung Vehicle Mount
Wish I had an answer for this for you but...
I've seen several frustrated posts concerning Bluetooth pairing with vehicles on ICS with no clear workaround/solution. I don't have a vehicle with onboard Bluetooth to troubleshoot the issue. I bet it's a doable fix too if it's just a matter of porting over some older library files or something from FI03. Maybe we can experiment with some file replacements to see if we can get it working.
You listen to music over Bluetooth too? I wonder if the media player is conflicting too somehow. What happens if you don't have streaming music and recieve a call?
Edit: It would help if you could backup and flash back to FI03 to verify if the problem still exists on that version.

Actually it's not a built-in bluetooth. It's a "Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit for Apple iPod, Apple iPhone, BlackBerry,and Android Smartphones, US Version" ... search for that on Amazon ... tried to post a link, but I'm too much of a noob to post links yet, apparently.
I have the phone in a Samsung windshield mount, and the Belkin device ports all audio through the aux-in jack of my car stereo. It also has a built-in microphone so that I can use it for calls.
I have experimented a bit to see if it was a conflicting app, but it still happens even if I'm using nothing else. Worked fine on the older kernels, even with multiple apps running (Car Home Ultra, Waze, and Play Music are typical) went wonky as of FI25. I even tried disconnecting it from the dock and disabling car mode. The only thing that causes it is being connected to bluetooth and ending a call, and then it happens every time. Doesn't matter if I initiate the call or receive it. (Which is useful, because I could easily test by calling 611)
I wish I had another Bluetooth device to test if it was specific to the Belkin ... but that's all I've got.
No problem. I live out of Waze. Glad I found the fix for the full navigation voice cutoff for that (and Google Voice) and included it in the FI25 rom. I'll look into posting a couple of flashable zips for you to experiment with for the Bluetooth library files.

Thanks for that ... can't wait to try. Going to flash your new Re-Calked update soon too.
On a tangent regarding Waze ... did you install the latest update? I can't stand the way they use 30% of the screen with that black bar ... even worse when you get close to your destination and that other menu bar pops in above it. 50% of the screen covered with useless info.
I rolled back to the prior version from my Titanium backup.
I only used Waze this morning once after the update but didn't really check it out.
Backup your phone.
Flash this first - FI03.flash.first.zip
Test bluetooth, if it isn't working move on...
Flash this second - FI03.stock.lib.zip
Test bluetooth. Even if it is working, flash this next. FI03.stock.lib.zip

So, it looks like I was wrong with my initial investigation.
I did flash the first file ... everything connected fine. Placed and disconnected a call no crash. But what I DIDN'T do was put the phone in the car dock.
So, I think the problem isn't bluetooth at all. I think it's some interaction with the car dock. If the phone is connected to the car dock when I disconnect the call ... that's when com.android.phone crashes (I can start the call connected, just need to disconnect before I end the call). I also had a suspicion that Car Home Ultra might have been a factor, but it happens even if Car Home Ultra is not running. I thought I had tested this scenario originally, but I guess I missed that one.
I'll flash back to my nandroid later and reconfirm these results. In the mean time ... any thoughts on what the car dock might be doing to trip up the phone?
UPDATE:
Now that I've narrowed it down to the dock, I found this bug report that appears to be related to my issue (yay, I'm not the only one):
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34612
Down the end of that thread, it appears that the issue seems to be related to the phone being in portrait mode ... not necesserily the dock, it's just that you can only get portrait mode during a call when docked.
Just curious. Does your dialer rotate when docked so you can make a call?
Anyway, I sent you something in a PM check it out.
Edit: I'm working on one more thing to add to that. Give me a little while.
Cool, I'll look at it afterI get the kids to bed.
Yes, the dialer rotates in the dock. Also, when in a call, the contact's photo is also rotated and moved left.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Ok we're running out of choices I guess. Try this older stock dialer and if that doesn't work, I guess that's it for now.
Thanks for your efforts whatever the outcome!
I'll flash this tomorrow and see how we go.
I just flashed the new Re-Calked update by the way. No problems, good stuff and it's been idling at around 1.6%/hr.
Changing out the phone did the trick!

So freezing everything related to clocks and alarms does nothing.
I did notice however when I was going through the system settings that there was a completely separate tab for docks. Maybe that can be removed by tinkering with the framework.res or systemui.res?
