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.

This is starting to get a little frustrating...
Running CM 6.1.1 and i can't get my phone to stop randomly rebooting when i OC
i started all the way at max, and worked my way down to stock clock MHz. still getting random reboots.
but even at stock clock, i'm getting reboots. what's wrong with my phone?
i was thinking, maybe i should try using another kernel? can i use CM 6 with another OC kernel? i flash it just like a rom, right? any suggestions on which kernel to use?
IS IT A KERNEL PROBLEM? that's just my guess.
any help greatly appreciated.

Have you tried NB_Mod 2.15 or CR_Mod 2.13? Those are froyo stock roms (2.15 being the later version) and if those don't work on the stock kernel, stock clock, etc., then send it in to t-mobile.

that's the thing
my phone was working completely fine out of the box...
when i installed cyanogen, that's when my phone would randomly reboot
and i can't exactly send it to t-mobile, because i use it on AT&T.
not to mention, i bought this phone off ebay, so it doesn't have a warranty either
unless someone wants to give me a proof of purchase that i could borrow, HTC won't take a look at the phone

a bit confused, sorry... when you say stock t-mobile rom, what i thought you meant was stock form. as in, out of the box. as i said in my previous post, the phone worked fine out of the box. those roms you mentioned are stock tmobile roms? i thought t-mobile didn't release froyo yet for the slide... would you like me to flash one of those roms you mentioned?
i went ahead and flashed NB_Mod 2.15. it's a solid rom, but a tad laggy...
that said, it has not reboot on me. what does that mean exactly?
please dont tell me i can't run cyanogen
i have noticed that my reboots are soft reboots.
the phone doesn't completely turn off. it simply goes back to the CM loading screen and shows the lock screen in a matter of a few seconds.

Soft reboots indicate software, if it was overclocking that was the issue it would be hard rebooting, or simply just freezing. I know you've already tried this, but try it one last time, wiping/factory reset and flash 6.1.1 stable. If it still reboots, (if it's reasonable) try to get a logcat right before the soft reboot, maybe we can find what's causing the reboot, an app maybe.

thank goodness for that. it's a great relief to hear that it's only a software problem. i can't tell you how scared i got lol....
i can wipe and reflash the phone again, but what's logcat? i will do as you say, but i would appreciate it if you walk me through. i've never used it before....
i used adb and typed in logcat, but i just got a mountain of garble...
not exactly sure where to go from here, or what i'm supposed to do.

Yes, that garble is what I need to look at
Leave your phone plugged into your computer, type adb logcat, and wait for the phone to soft reboot. If you know how to trigger the reboot, trigger it, and then immediately press CTRL + C in command prompt, that is, immediately after you see the boot screen come up again. Then, right click the command prompt window, click select all, paste it into a text file, and upload it as an attachment in a reply here. I'll take a look and see if it's an app or something else causing it. Someone else probably (hopefully) also take a look at that text file and contribute to my conclusion.

obviously, my phone decides to not reboot anymore once i plug it in...
ran the phone for roughly an hour.
i tried nearly everything to get a soft reboot, but no luck.
however, when i launched angry birds, the game would crash on me, and i would be brought back to the home screen, without warning. no force close notice.
i'm not sure how much help that would be, but i've attached that logcat file.
there is no ryhme or reason as to when my phone reboots. i'm assuming it has to be a background program or something, because none of the normal apps i use, show any patterns. the reboots occur whenever.
would i be able to just leave the phone plugged in, and keep logcat running, or do i have to be present when the reboot actually happens?
i don't mind running it overnight or something...
I'll take a look at the logcat when I'm on a computer, but the angry birds exit to home would probably happen if your phone has usb storage mounted and angry birds was on your sd card. Rebooting should fix that.
Can't leave it running overnight, since command prompt only saves and displays a certain number of lines.
My last suggestion would be to do a fresh install of cm7 or cm6, whichever, and install an app one by one, maybe like 5 a day or whatever, and see when the reboots start. Are there any apps that you use that are handling system stuff, like a task manager? Make a list of your installed apps and post it here, we can probably find what would be more likely than others.

darn, i'm not sure if i got it...
it was like a unicorn sighting.
i went to plug my phone in for an adb logcat, and as soon as i plugged it in, the phone froze and soft rebooted. cmd was filling up with stuff fast, and i wasn't sure if i stopped it in time. in a panic, i forgot how to stop cmd, so i don't know if the error is present in this file.
i attached the text file
i will keep trying for another logcat until you report back. if the logcat is no good, i'll just do a fresh install.
i can provide you with a list of all the apps i run, but is there a way to generate a list? or would i have to type them out manually?
The angry birds logcat LOOKED like a missing lib, probably because the part of the app on the sd card wasn't being loaded. Did you try rebooting?
As for the second logcat, it looks like it MAY have been stopped too late, although, how many seconds do you estimate went by? Because whatever was running when the reboot occurred should stay there for around 10-20 seconds, but I can't completely be sure of that.
Actually, I can see a line that states that the boot had completed on line 124, and it looks like everything above that is post-reboot, sorry, you're gonna have to snatch another logcat :/
As for apps, I don't know of an efficient way of doing it, I know there's an app that exports a list of apps to a text file but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called.
Edit: It's called Zemna app list backup or something like that. Create a list of all apps, and then longpress the list and press send, you can send it to musicman374 at gmail.

I just backed up my list of apps and sent it to you.
I will try getting a logcat within the next day or so. If i can't, I will wipe and we can take this through, so i don't mess anything up this time...
Alright, sounds good. And it doesn't look like any of those apps would be causing anything like soft reboots, in fact, I have most of them installed on my phone. Aside from AndroZip and ColorNote, I have all of those, so they definitely shouldn't be the culprit.

so then would wiping and reflashing my phone really solve the soft reboots?
this would be my 4th or even 5th attempt to get my phone to function properly (i lost count).
i don't mind, but my general concern is this...
i would be using the same recovery, with the same rom, and i would be installing the same apps again.
i'm guessing i'm going to have to get a logcat file anyway, unless by some miracle my phone decides to wok properly this time i flash... either that or find a better way of flashing roms
what would you have me do?
UPDATE: YES!
i managed to force my phone into a soft reboot. not exactly sure what i did, but i just kept opening and closing random apps on my phone.
logcat 2. i wasn't sure when exactly i was supposed to stop the file, because CMD was filling up fast. hopefully i nabbed it. i stopped cmd, just a few seconds before the screen went back to the CM loading logo.
did i do it right???
logcat 3 happened when the phone was just sitting still. was not provoked. sorry, i don't want to hammer you with logcat files, but it has been so hard for me to get a logcat. so i'm trying to get every one i can.
please let me know
I was relieved to see the same error messages in your logcat as I see on my wife's slide.

It's possible that we both have a hardware issue, but just FYI, this happened on my wife's original slide, and it's happening on the refurbished warranty replacement we just got.
From searching on the web, it appears that this problem may be caused by openGL. I don't think the stock roms use it, or at least not the newer version like CM does.
you didn't post your application list, but i've had my wife's phone crash while just booting up and sitting at the thunderstorm (free) LWP, which would be the only thing using openGL. I'll have to disable it for a few days and see if that solves it.

i called up HTC and they didn't even ask for proof of purchase or anything. so hardware problem? bring it on.
but the problem still persists regardless...

Had this problem before. A simple reboot did the trick for me. :]
rebooted.. it worked for awhile. then it started up again. seems to be on and off.. very random. i looked thru everything on my phone thinking "maybe" theres some option thats making it do this, but nothing. its quite annoying when im trying to txt.

I'm assuming you're talking about the physical keyboard; its a quick keys bug, just push the search button first and it'll disable it
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
There actually is a setting for keyboard shortcuts - clear all of them and the problem goes away. No bug, the ROM has the shortcuts set when you flash it for some reason. Flash a newer ROM and it shouldn't do it - or just clear the shortcuts.
I can't look in my phone right now to tell you where the setting is at but it might do some good for you to look through them and become familiar so you don't call something a bug that isn't.

yeah i figured this was the problem. i looked through my phone pretty throughly and didn't see any options though. I'll look again and get back to this thread n report.
this has been happening on and off to my phone for the last couple of weeks, I am still running RC4. it is very strange, the ROM worked fine for a while and now does this every so often, pressing E opens email app, S opens search. a reboot fixed everytime and then for what seems like no reason at all, it starts again.
will go to stable this week and hopefully it will go away. just thought i'd add another device to the list of ones with the issue.
i have no shortcuts setup at all, and have double checked. have been using CM7 since the start and it never happened prior to RC4.
When this happen just hit the "symb/search" button and the keyboard will work again
Sorry it took so long to get back with the cure but here it is:
settings>applications>quick launch
In there is where all the hw keyboard shortcut settings are. Clear any you don't want, create new ones, or whatever. Clear the ones that are giving you issues and this should solve it. If you ever clear your user data (factory reset) then it clears these settings also, so you may have to go in and delete the shortcuts again.
Hope this helped!
thank you! i cleared it all.

I am having a problem installing the Amazon Appstore (and the foxfi installer too now that I think about it). I am able to download the APK and run it but once in the program the install button does nothing. I mean I click on it and there is no error message, no program crash, nothing. It's almost like the install button image isn't a button and I'm clicking on nothing. Clicking cancel or show all for the permissions works fine.
I have enabled install from unknown sources and even tried to disable it and try but nothing works. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? TIA for any help.
EDIT: BTW I'm on stock and not rooted.
SOLVED: Thanks to Zerkai it appears that Screen Filter and Screen Adjuster can prevent APKs from installing.
Try to install these apps with an APK Installer. Like the following.

See if that changes anything.

Just tried that and it is exhibiting the same issue. Called amazon and they hadn't heard of it and had no suggestions on how to fix it. They did mention security apps might be able to block installs and that led me to look at my apps. I did have Norton mobile security installed but stopping it and then even uninstalling it didn't get rid of the issue.
This is really starting to frustrate me.
May sound obvious, but have you tried restarting your phone?
If you were rooted I'd recommend clearing your dalvik and /cache.
One thing you may try is cleaning up your SD card.. Even try renaming the android folder on your sd card. It holds app data for diff apps. you system will recreate it. just delete the recreated on and change the name back after you've tested it.
The only other option (that comes to mind) is a factory reset. I would try the other stuff first. Something is corrupt somewhere.
By any chance are you using, Screen Filter?
