Even after uninstalling it with titanium backup,root explorer and native android in menu it keeps popping up in notification bar with these ill-effects:
It closes out any apps or programs I was using!
It automatically puts me on speaker when I make or receive calls
Screen orientation cannot be disabled
Screen lock cannot be disabled
Volume is lowered when playing music
stays at the same volume and cannot be adjusted.
Some suggestions were to disable automatic startup and bluetooth in Car Home's menus when it pops up, I did not see such option. Now the menu does not pop up anymore, only the steering wheel icon pops up in notification bar to let me know its here to make my day a living hell again. Everyday, Every Hour, Every minute. I've done full wipe,cache,dalvik, and reinstall of cm6 6.1.2 and it just wont GO AWAY! Please HELP!
Posting in general forum because I'm not getting any help in Q/A!
You know what, my phone started exactly the same thing yesterday lunchtime and it's bloody annoying.
One thing that bugs me is that the headphone volume is now jammed at "very loud" with no way to adjust it.
Likely cause: pins 4 & 5 of the USB port shorted out. I would recommend carefully cleaning the USB port on the phone to see if that helps (it didn't for me).
Unless anyone has a magic solution, mine is going back to stock today and then back to HTC for repair.
Had the exact same issue a while back so I just took it to Sprint and got a new one.
perhaps its my google account cuz i notice after fresh install and before i sync my market there car home is no where to be found. so im thinking theres probably an issue with my google account and apps. even thiugh it does not have car home as one of ny apps ive installed.
issue temporarily fixed by going to both car apps in applications and force stop/clearing data but then it came back again, defiantly sometime to do with usb port
My phone started having the same problem, it would come up for no reason at all. Just now I plugged it into my car charger and it magically stopped. I was wondering if the usb cable I got from HTC could be bad.
Its a provlem with your micro usb. I had the same problem on multiple
roms. Getting a new usb cable cleared it up for me.

I had the same problem, and it turned out that it was a 3rd party charger that I bought on ebay that caused it. I bought a charger from Sprint, and it cleared up for me.
Don't mean to dig up an old thread, but figured would be better than starting a new one.
My Evo just started doing similar things just two days ago. Pretty sure mine was a moisture issue- put it in my pocket while swim suit was still wet, I've read similar reports on other forums.
My issue is Car Home will launch whenever it wants (seems to be purely random.) It will 'dock' then 'undock' (indicated by the chime it plays) two or three times in a row before it finally just runs in the background. If you are in an application while this happens it will either crash the program, or refresh everything, losing what ever state you were on.
Any got a software fix for this yet? I've tried uninstalling it, freezing it, reinstalling it, deleting the apk with root explorer... nothing. Not only is it god awful annoying it's killing my battery life. From what I am understanding this issue is rooted in hardware problems, but there has to be a way of stopping a program from auto loading.
I even went as far as to delete EVERY file that root explorer found the words 'car' and 'home' in with it's search function. Tried installing apps that supposedly blocked it from auto loading like NoDock, did nothing.
If all else fails I guess i could do a full wipe and reload CM7, but I've read reports that that doesn't even fix it. Is there anyway to confirm it's a USB problem, and not a short in the magnetic sensor? I attempted to take a cat log, think it was throwing a Java error, need to read up on how to post said log.
If there is a more complete thread or resolution page, please link it, I have no issues reading up on it myself if only I can find it.
Thanks for any input!
This problem is caused by the liquid damage... Everytime I have one come in with this issue.. I have signs of liquid damage to the board, especially around the charging port...
I hear ya, but there has to be a way of removing carhome completely. My phone operates fantastic for 80% of the day, so it's not like it's a catastrophic error or anything.
Same thing happening here on my Evo with Cyanogenmod 7.1RC1. Really odd behavior. I just uninstalled car home using Titanium and I'm waiting to see if that fixes it.
I downloaded nodock (trial) and pretty much solved the issue. I still have problems on start up but once I am able to enable the app. I might just end up buying the app because of no other choice.
I fixed this issue by getting a new phone. Its a hardware issue, something something usb port dying glitching, thinks its docking with car dock
I would totally do the same thing if I wasn't living in fear of the new ota

This.
It's a hardware issue, not software. The tech at my local Sprint store said they see this a lot with people that use car chargers, especially during the winter. The end of the cable falls on the floor and gets dirt, salt, and other crap in it then gets picked up and plugged into the phone and screws up the USB port. Sometimes it just needs to be cleaned, but sometimes it actually gets damaged.

I cleaned my charging port with rubbing alcohol and it seems to be fixed.

has anyone found a solution to this issue, im currently experiencing it on my inspire.... from what i have read its a hardware issue, but isn't there anyway to make a patch of something that can block car home from launching?? it randomly starts up on my phone and causes my speaker phone to always be on when receiving calls or making one, until i manually turn it off but still its pretty annoying... help!! lol
water damage or generic charger
I had this problem I was using a cheap stand charger when I switched back to the stock charger it solved the problem after a few days.... but that evo broke and my next evo had it again plus HDMI wasn't working. Took it in and it had all kinds of corrosion from water damage causing the problem. So take it in or take it apart and clean it hope that helps
suddenly from yesterday my phone automatically goes on speaker mode while making calls or attending....tried changing rom sense/cm9, factory reset, battery pull and reinsert...nothing worked...anybody has any solution??:crying:
[solved now]
Take your USB cable and stab the USB port repeatedly. There must be some dirt in there that makes the phone think it is in car mode

My problem is solved... there was no need to wipe or reinstall anything, the problem was with usb port only. It was going in car mode automatically. I cleaned the usb port...played rough with it using my usb cable till the car mode stopped appearing. Now everything is fine.
Good to hear that !
Dear friends,
I have an issue with the LG G4, recently a sign of headset has appeared in the notification bar, without anything connected to the AUX, as a result i cant make phone calls anymore because the microphone and the earpiece are not working.
I have tried to see if there are anything inside the AUX input, but found none, afterwards i have replaced the Aux to a new AUX piece - didnt solve the problem.
As a result i tried to do a full factory reset of the phone - still same problem headest sign is on.
I dont know what else to do, have you encountered or know how to deal with this situation ? does it mean i have to replace the whole motherboard?
i am running 6.0 stock version of the phone.
With regards.

I had this issue with my lg g3. so... get the battery out , take your hair dryer and do not set on very hot and then dry the jack couple of minutes . after that put the battery back and start the phone. That should do it. I`m pretty sure u got a drop of water in there and thats the cause.
Thank you for the help, but its not the problem, i have switched the jack to a new one, i have tried now to use the hair dryer on all the pieces after disassembling the phone, still same problem.
I`ve got a problem with my HTC that I can`t solve. First it wouldn`t charge, then the speaker suddenly turns on/off while speaking with someone. While texting, the messages suddenly disappear, so I have to type it again. Then my car navigation app turns on and off for no reason. I installed the antivirus protection and it`s still the same. Then I reinstalled the software , but still no changes. Has anyone ever had a similar experience, and what did you do to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.

R u tried charge your phone with another charging cable ??
Not charging, and randomly going to car mode; both indicate an issue with the MicroUSB port.

That would be my thought, yes.
Although I don't think it explains the other problems. Running the proper RUU (if OP's version has one) may be a good idea, and see if it helps with any of the problems.
Like in title - it started happening few days ago, no pattern whatsoever - sometimes the notification opens again as soon as I close it, sometimes it doesn't happen for hours.
Thought it might be a rom issue since it was also doing some other things, so restored my JW 5.4 backup and the problem still exists. It also happens on stock, unmodified backup. I'm 90% sure it's a problem with usb port. Cleaned it very thoroughly using a:
-toothpick
-toothpick with a piece of tape on it
-toothbrush
-blowing air
I am yet to try using a vacuum and pouring some isopropyl alcohol inside the port, but I'm not sure if it will help as none of those things above did the trick. Even thought that it might be a virus, but I didn't install anything over the past days, malwarebytes found nothing and there's just no way it would survive a full wipe and an old backup restore.
I already did some research about this issue and for most people either cleaning the usb port or disabling "car" app helped. Cleaning didn't help as stated above and I have no "car" app and I don't see anything related to it. Also tried "Dock No-Op" app and it didn't help.
The usb port might be slowly dying and I'm ok with that, the device is pretty old now, but the random notification and screen turning on is slowly getting on my nerves. Any ideas how to stop this?
