Disable car mode in ginger bread? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I disable car mode on my desire Hd?
After my phone got a little wet it has started to go into car mode when I turn the phone on. Now all my calls go directly to speaker. It's very annoying. Any fixes?
I tried starting the phone without a sim card like someone mentioned but that didn't work.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I seemed to fix the problem by cleaning the micro usb connector. There was a lot of lint that had been compressed around the contact. After cleaning this out it has not gone into car mode.

speaker randomly dies - no hardware problem!

g´d evening guys.
hope that someone can help me out with this one:
i´m using schaps 3.54c and it was working fine for a long time, but now it randomly happens that my speaker dies. i mean ...yeah, well, it just dies - but audio is still working via the usb headphones. it gets even stranger because i was able to get it back working a few times by enabling/disabling flight mode or starting strange combinations of audio players at the same time.
but now it´s dead again and i can try whatever i want = no chance to get it back so far, and i don´t want to reflash.
anyone with an idea, suggestion?
Same thing happened to me. Its the plug. When you plug in the usb headset it triggers the device to send the sound via usb. When you take it out, it stays Via usb because something is broken inside the plug and it doesnt go to the external speakers. I used to have to plug it in and out 10 times to get it to go back to external speakers. Afer a few weeks of that it wouldnt go to the external speakers at all.

While streaming Pandora through line-in in my car,

Voice Dial kept popping up.
What am I doing wrong?
Do you have a case on? Make sure your line-in cable is all the way in. The phone is getting confused because the way the cable is seated. It thinks that it's a headset with a mic. I had the same issue, I use app killer, take off my case and make sure the cable is well seated in the phone. If you see a headset with mic icon instead of just the headset re-seat the cable and try again.

I don't use a case and my cable is just a simple computerAUX. I'll have to pay attention to the icon.
Thanks for your help. : )

It is probably a problem with the connections in the headphone port on the phone. I just had my phone replaced because any slight bump of the phone would change tracks, pause music, etc...
A while back I had the same problem with a TP2 and had to have it replaced.
I have a thread on here about the same thing. Mine is getting replaced by verizon. It's shorting out on the line and it thinks you're hitting a button on a headset. It doesn't happen to every phone I guess.
Check out my thread, lots of info from different people.

[Q] phone starts calling automatically

When I plug in my earphones my phone starts to call the last person I spoke to. This happens a couple of times in a row and then it stops and I can watch video or play music without interruption. Does anyone have an idea what this is and how I can fix it?
Had the same problem here ....Can not figure it out either. I have the HTC headset that connects directly into the usb jack'. Sometimes it will happen constantly and other times never happen. I noticed though when it starts to happen and I soft reset the phone it seems to stop the issue for a while. I have two different headsets and the same thing happens to both. But it definitely only happens when there is a headset in use.
I've had this happen a few times (just a couple times over the course of a year), while plugging in the HTC adapter that came with the Tilt 2, that looked like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-USB-Headset-Adapter-2-5mm-3-5mm/dp/B002HNTHKM
I use this adapter in the car, to charge the phone and connect the audio to my car stereo via the 3.5mm jack.
With this same setup, I've also randomly (just a few times also) received a message on the phone's screen to pick the output type (NTSC or PAL) for the video out adapter (when obviously, there is no video out adapter connected).
It APPEARS (not certain) that the times that my phone dialed itself, the adapter was not quite properly seated in the phone's ext-USB jack. Since the HTC headphones have the ability to place calls, I'm thinking there is something going on with the ext-USB jack and plug (short circuit, fouled connection, etc.), where it thinks you are pressing the call button on the HTC headset.
I've seen similar posts on these forums, where the video-out message was possibly traced back to bent pins on the ext-USB jack. Maybe you have a similar issue. Its possible you have bent/damaged pins on the ext-USB jack on your phone, of on the headset plug. Try examining the headset plug, and the ext-USB jack on the phone for broken, missing pins, etc. If possible, try a different HTC headset, and see if the issue persists.
I am currently having this issue and it also only happens when the adapter is plugged into my phone. So does that mean the connection on the adapter could be defective? Is there a way to disable automatic calling from the earphones?

This is often an issue with the adapter or headset you are using. Try another one. Its possible the pins in the phone's ExtUSB socket are bent/damaged. There was a similar thread about this a little while ago. The OP tried a different headset, and it solved his issue.

[Q] Carpanel + USB + Speakerphone problem

I'm having a strange problem, i tried google for it, and found something about some USB cables are ment for cars, and has a 5th pin or something, and it activates the care panel automatically if you place your USB cable inside the phone.
Now i've deactivated that because it was pestering me, but now i've gone to have another problem instead...
Everytime i call or someone calls, the phone automatically answers the call like if i we're using a bluetooth headset (which i don't atm), and Speaker phone is always on when i call and receive calls..
Re-flashing rom doesn't fix that, i've tried re calibrating the g-sensor, but nothing works.. i've gone thrue the settings, but can't find a solution on my own, what can i do?.. Help anyone?... Its giving me grey hair, its the same problem on all roms..

[Q] Weird audio bug. Lose voice in Maps etc

I have a weird problem. When I plug my phone into my car charger I lose the voice and other alerts in Google Maps and other applications that 'speak' or give alerts. Not entirely. I still get sound in some apps (Tested with Angry Birds for instance). Unplugging the charger it works fine.
So I took it indoors to test on the original charger and cable and also on a USB cable attached to my PC. It worked fine. Hmm. Odd. So I took it back to the car charger and lo and behold it also works fine.
Puzzling.
My only thoughts are when the phone is going from sleep to car charger it causes this bug to surface.
I'm running JJ Hybrid 3.1 at the moment and one of the later ArcKnight kernels.
Anyone else come across this issue and/or have a fix/workaround?

Did u test other kernel/roms?
Not yet no. Just tested again after a long sleep and it's doing the same thing on a USB cable connected to the PC. Guess I will have to try another ROM and kernel after all.
Well I tried changing the kernel from ArcKnight to Radeon but it made no difference. It seems to just randomly cut out when the USB cable is plugged in. A reboot sorts it out for a while. I am wondering if it's some rogue service or the fact I disabled some framework elements using Autostarts. I think all I can do is flash another ROM and run it with minimal apps for a while. I will look into flashing the new stock ICS ROM that just came out.
OK figured out what the problem was. It was the bluetooth connection to my car stereo kicking in (hence why it worked on a charger away from the car). If I was listening to a radio station bluetooth was still enabled and sending audio alerts from the phone to the car stereo so I could not hear them. If I changed to bluetooth audio on the car stereo I could hear them, So it was a simple matter of disabling media audio in the phones bluetooth settings.
I've put this reply in so if anyone else has the same issue they can search for the answer.
