There r alot of posts on this topic my friend.....its a connector problem in the micro usb hub of the phone....you can either take the phone nd have that hub replaced which i believe means replacing the motherboard or do as i did nd hope it works:
- spray anti rust oil in the micro usb
- brush with a tooth brush
- let it soak a while nd then blow them away
- do not worry the oil wont get into the phone....its all tightly sealed.
- i remember i only did it once nd that was 6 months ago nd no problem since then
Good luck
Ok, i will try it laterwhen i come back home. Thank you

the problem in hardware based so you have no other options except to take it to a shop.....if it;s still under warranty you should get a replacement
i'm surprised the above didnt work out.....it worked for me
turn the phone off and try it again.
use a tooth brush gently and make sure the oil is soaking the connectors. and then turn phone on after ur done
Well my G2 been acting crazy the car mode keeps turning on by itself and can't disable it I tried to remove the app but still doing it, I thought it was my charger, got a new one and still doing it, tried different rom and same thing, anyone have any idea.

If this is only happening when you're charging then it's most likely some funk up in your microUSB port; clean it out and you should be good to go.

OMFG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! I've had this problem before what ROM are you using? and for me the problem went away by itself after a while. You can see my post in Pyromod where I posted the same problem..

see my thread about NoDock in the themes and apps section. it's the only permanent fix (aside from phone replacement) that I've found for the autodocking bug.
it's either a faulty usb port or a defective microusb cable in our (Vision owners) cases. removing car home won't help, downloading one of the car home replacement apps won't help, you have to kill the docking event at a lower level than that.
It happening even when I'm not charging the phone, when I text or facebooking while its not charging its driving me crazy, I'm gonna try that NoDock app see how it works out.
Thanks

How can I use NoDock with 2.3.4? As far as I have researched there is currently no root for 2.3.4 and the phone must be rooted for NoDock to work?
Mac
i keep having the same problem, whenever i reboot my phone, car home automatically starts, and when i exit out of it a notification appears saying that car home is disable, click here to enable it(something i have never seen before) i dont want to remove car home, because i like and use this one over the 3rd party apps, i find it kind of annoying
Well, I completely removed both the car home launcher and app and they're data with titanium backup, then reinstalled the car home through the gapps flashable zip and no more problems for me (crossing fingers)

This just started happening to me today. Not charging and just out of the blue. My phone isn't rooted. Am I looking at having to replace it?

T-Mobile just put up a note on this a few weeks ago, says to use NoDock for now (can't post URL, lurker not poster to xda).
//support. t-mobile.com/ docs/DOC-2883
And yeah, this just started happening to me yesterday. My G2 got the OTA to 2.3.4 about a week or so ago. It seems to sometimes be affected by my charger (like here at work, if I fiddle with the charger while it's plugged into the phone, sometimes I can make the Car Home app come up), but this also happens when I haven't been using a charger for a while.
It's a stock G2.
Everybody is saying get a new charger, might be a bad pin in the USB port on the phone or in the charger, might be a dirty USB port, might be magnets (how do they work?!). Seems like this just started happening for a lot of users not long after they got the OTA to 2.3.4, and it's happening on many different devices and carriers.
TMO says Google and HTC are on it but haven't found a root cause yet. *shrug*
I'm gonna try Dock-No-Op.

Car home no more please!
My carhome just started its glitch. I installed the dock-no-op app and now my phone flashes off and on when carhome turns on and still runs in the back ground. trying something posted on and earlier post....
Bad USB Port
I had this problem crop up suddenly few months back. I tried as hell searching for solution. NODO does the trick for root users.
But one day I braved and tried to change the usb charging port pins. Basically, somehow, the usb charge pins (on the phone) were too close to the upper part of the case. I somehow moved that a bit more to center. While I was super careful and afraid of what this might do the charging pin, I was successfully able to circumvent the problem and has not occurred to me since then.
Again, I had to do this since I did not have any warranty on the phone. If you have a warranty on your phone, I suggest you get a replacement for yourself. And if you are brave heart like me, then go ahead and give it a try.
Good lukc!
Hey all,
Just thought I'd let you know... Though I have a Desire HD, I found this thread after the problem started on mine. The app would not let me quit, reloading and pausing, even during calls. I fixed the issue by cleaning out the USB port with a small sewing needle. Unbelievable how much crap i dug out! Worse than my belly button! I'm not surprised it got confused. Worth a try before you send your phones back?
This has been turning my sgs2 bat**** for the last couple of weeks. I've tried cleaning out the usb port with contact cleaner, but couldn't really get the cotton swab in there too well. Will try the sew needle suggestion. I've also flashed all sorts of ROMs to no avail. It happens even when I'm not docked! And kicks me off of calls and apps that I have open!
kmmerwana, can you better describe what you did? Did you just push the microusb pin up with say a screwdriver?
Likely fix
Like others, I first noticed this problem shortly after I got something in the microUSB port. In my case, I was in a sauna, and probably got some sweat in there. This would likely leave behind mineral deposits upon drying, that could cause a short circuit.
I decided to try something a little different - I got some rubbing alcohol and a small toothpick (a pin or needle might be even better), and dabbed the rubbing alcohol into the microusb port. On one side of the microusb slot, the toothpick fit right in and I could wiggle it around a little. On the other side, the toothpick was too big and I just dabbed some extra rubbing alcohol in there, one drop at a time.
This process dislodged a small black thing (perhaps a piece of plastic about 0.5mm cubed) that might've at one time been part of the port, and may have also rearranged some of the mineral deposits left over from my sweat drying in there.
It didn't seem to work at first - for maybe about an hour, I still had the problem. But now it's been 3 hours, and I've not seen the problem for about 2. It used to be I'd get the problem every minute or two, so I believe the problem is most likely gone, at least until I get more crud (yech) in there.
I of course recommend turning off your phone before trying something like this.

hi..
i am experiencing problems with my desire hd.
every 3-5 minutes the car mode app starts for no reason and my gps starts receiving draining my battery. another strange thing is whenever i call someone it always starts the call in speaker mode...
i tried even deleting car mode app from titanium backup but stil it manages to start.-.-.
i also tried flashing cyanogen and every other rom with the same result.
any help?
thnx in advance..
its your micro usb port on the phone. Try cleaning it out with a pin or tiny screw driver. I was shocked at how much lint i pulled out of mine after a couple months of dealing with that same problem. Hasn't been an issue since.

I used a small flat head screw driver and dug out a bunch of pocket lint. As long as you don't bend the contacts you'll be fine. Just gently scrape around the contact, not the contact itself. I think the lint + charger causes the contact to be bent either up or down a bit tricking the phone into car dock mode.

I delt with the same issue for a long time. I agree that cleaning should help.
Hello !!!
Toady i went for running and i left my phone in the car.When i finished my workout i got into the car and because of the cold weather the inside of the car got moisture.....
When i arrived at home i had to make a call and then i saw that the icon of headphones was blinking (like i was pluging and unpluging the headphones every second or something like that) then i decided to power off the phone and start it over..........
Now that is the problem i have....When it starts it shows the logo of HTC and after 5 secs it shows the "HTC quietly briliant " logo with the sound and after 2 mins it makes again the sound and shows the "HTC quietly briliant " logo and that goes over and over again..........It is something like a restart loop
Firstly my thoughts is maybe the phone got inside some moisture and that causes some kind of short circuit but if that happened the phone shouldn' even start...correct ?
I've let the phone near the radiator/heater for almost an hour (without the battery ofcourse )but the problem still remains........
Do you have any solutions ???
Please i need your help.I only got this phone for about a week...
p.s my volume keys don't work......Is there any other solution for doing a hard reset ?
p.s 2 my phone is not rooted and has android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0
Thanks in advance !!!
I have an idea but it is a long shot. I had a phone (non-HTC) that did the same thing and to fix it I removed the SD-Card, so if you have one inserted that may help.
Also if it is moisture related you could try sticking it in a bag of uncooked white rice for about 24 hours, it helps suck the moisture out, sticking it on a heater may do more harm than good.

Hi friends, from last week am facing a display issue in my desire z mobile. The display changes the colors when ever i unmask the KB or sometimes even when it masked... when i googled for this problem i came to know that the ribbon cable is loose. so i decided to open the mobile and reconnect the cable. I did everything perfectly, but when i repaired and turned on the mobile , the screen is black.. only after rebooting (by hearing the welcome tone) my menu keys start lighting and by pressing the power key my screen turns on. Even i cant see the boot loader page ..
I think this could be a software issue, but i dont know how operating with the hardware can mess up the software
Friends please guide me
Something is up with the ribbon cable either it came loose again when u were putting back together or its broken.
I actually fixed mine today, it was wearing through the black outer part and was making the screen jump during scrolling and long pressing when only tapping.
I fixed it with a small piece of electrical tape placed over the exposed part. I guess it grounds out once it becomes exposed.
U only have to remove the mother board from the phone to really see most of it.
What exactly did u do? Is there an exposed part of the ribbon from wear and tear?

there is no physical damage in the ribbon, even i saw the whole connection of the ribbon... no physical damage.
But now, after reconnecting the parts i got another problem to... i cant see any boot animation and boot screen... when i start the mobile it remains black screen and only after hearing the boot tone, again by pressin the power button the screen turns on.. till that the screen is black.. dont know what to do .
U should get a q tip with some rubbing alcohol and clean up the connection and blow on the connection to make sure there is nothing there. Just take our time when u do it u don't wanna mess anything up

sorry i cant get your way of cleaning the connectors. could you please elaborate me the cleaning process? Then bro, still i dont know why i was not able to see the bootloader screen and the bootup animation... but after booting up mobile works fine... so confused
Sorry use a cotton swap dipped in the alcohol to clean the connector on the cable and mother board.
Does the phone have a custom recovery? If so what happens when u boot into it?

no it doesnt have any custom recovery. first i come across the screen colour fault, so i rerooted my phone to claim warranty, but unfortunatly i was not able to claim the warranty. so i felt to open the mobile myself and tight the ribbon. After attempting this repair now new problem araised ie i cant even see the bootloader page and boot animation.. but the phone is working fine..
whenever i turn on the mobile the black screen remains , then i will here boot tone then my soft key lights will lighten, then i will press power butto, then my lock screen will pop up. this is my situation.
Dont know what to do
First let me try your cleaning option, but could you advice me something other than the alcohol ?
Alcohol is the best cuz its sterilizes and dries fast. U don't need to soak it just to get the cotton swab wet and shake off excess and dab it on the connections. If u rub it might get cotton stuck. U could also use a keyboard dust blaster or some kind of compressed air to blast away any particles.
The main thing is to make sure u connectors are down all the way and not to have any tension while putting it back together.
If u separate both halves of the phone make sure u connect to the back of the motherboard after u have tightened down the brackets that keep the two pieces together.
Are u trying to avoid having to remove the sticker while loosening the motherboard?

Now the problem getting worse.. after a cleanup with a cotton bud, my touch sensitive fails to work.
:crying:
now the problems are :
* touch not working
* display colours are changed
* cant see the bootloader and boot animation
Please someone help me :crying:
dont know what to do. Its just a 3 month mobile, cant lose it
Ur doing something wrong all ur problems has to do with the cable. That cable connects the screen to the motherboard
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
I think the proper response is replace the flex cable, they do go bad and for the most part I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. Technology fails from time to time, about 20$ or so and relatively easy to replace
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
yes i think i have to replace the cable, but now i think i damaged the digitizer too..so i have to change both the ribbon cable and digitizer.
but i dont know why i cant see the bootloader and the boot animation.
thats my main problem now..
as i want to root my mobile again i need the bootloader page, guys please help me on this
then anyone having a desire z for sales?? (2nd hand sales ?)
I would probably just replace the ribbon cable before doing anything else digitizer is tied into the ribbon cable as well.

I too had the same issue.. I think the HDR option is not working in that ROM, so you better turn off the HDR.
I apologize for my english, i'm french..
I've the same problem. After a 1 meter-fall, it fell to the ground flat. Since, it doesn't work.
When i press the power button, the phone seems to start : vibration, and the sensitives touchs light. But i can't see anything on the screen, it stay black...
Do you think it can be the LCD screen to repair or the ribon cable ? If it was the ribbon cable, the sensitves touchs didn't turn on, don't you think ?
Thanks for your help, and again i'm sorry for my basic english..!

We cant guess it without testing. In my case i first faced problems regarding ribbon cable and slowly the prob builds up and now my screen is full back. But in your case it is most likely to be the lcd part.
So, better you make a test about it by swapping it into another phone or so..
then one more thing, even if the ribbon cable fails some part of it may work like sensitive light and touch..
I had the same problem. Just get the cable replaced.
