Have you tried turning off the phone?
Turn off the phone, pull out the battery, let it sit for a minute or two. Put battery back in and seenif its still happening.
Do you have any apps that manipulate/ color your LED if a certain peraon is calling, etc?
i pulled the battery and it did not fix the problem. i am going to remove some apps i recently installed to see if that is the issue
its a common problem.. mostly due to USB port on the phone. Try clean it out with wait or a toothpick.
Where you playing around with led apps? Like no led or led color picker and other stuff like that? I had that issue after using those apps. I think i ended up clearing data/cache for those apps and uninstalling.
If all else fails, a restore of a recent backup should work.

I haven't messed with any of those type of apps. I have never downloaded any of those LED apps.
I recently wiped cache and dalvik-cache before flashing on the new BLAZER rom (I am coming from calkulins and wanted to try something new) and the LED is still lit. Any clues? Do you think i should just go and uninstall all my applications? or should i take your last suggestion and restore to a recent backup?
Clean the charging port out with a toothbrush. Worked for me. I got some gunk in the charging port and the led would stay on and it would go into MTP all the time.

There is most likely corrosion in the charging port. If you look in the port and there is green or white, its corrosion.

there shouldnt be any corrosion. i got the phone in november. they owe me a free one if thats the case. sorry, im just hoping your wrong about the corrosion
I hope not too, but it usually happens on your charger and transfers to your phone and you don't notice it.
I am in the same boat as you in terms of tryin out blazer. I ran across a bunch of issues there. Try going back to calk backup and see if it fixes it.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in phantom hacker, but it seems like v3.9 is full of bugs...
Im not sure about the corrision thing, but it sounds like you have a corrupt file in your rom. I suggest trying a different rom, downloading to a pc to make sure its good. Do a FULL wipe, and flash new rom... The issue SHOULD go away...
Ok lets clear the air. The LED issue is not due to the new Blazer rom or Calkulins. I just did a full wipe and flash of Calkulin 2.8 and the LED (red) light is still on. I have ZERO apps on the phone. Fresh wipe. I think I may unroot it (going to have to search out how to do this) and take it into Sprint (I've had the phone for less than 4 months).
Note- earlier tonight the LED light turned off (this was before the full wipe and flash back to calkulins) but my battery was at low so I had to charge it. Upon charging it the light would not turn off. Suspect its a hardware problem?
To repeat. I do not think my issue has anything to do with Blazer ROM or Calks

man, i'm going INSANE with this phone. car mode keeps turning itself on no matter what i do i can't get rid of it. there isn't even an app installed that i can uninstall. it just keeps turning on randomly in the notification bar and if i'm doing anything on my phone it messes things up. any ideas how to get rid of this?

what ROM you running that you can't uninstall it through the standard settings?
you should be able to uninstall with Titanium. at least as a quick fix, but this may be indicative of another issue?
i had the same problem

I had the same problem before. In settings you can disable car mode from launching but every time you use headphones the volume will be stuck because it thinks its in car mode. I think the problem came from a cheap charger that I was using it may have bent or affected the connections some way that made the phone think it was in a car dock. Even when it wasn't plugged into anything. I just bought a better charger and a few weeks later the problem just stopped. I have no idea. hope that helps

yeah i have no idea i'm completely stumped. i've been using the same MIUI rom without upgrading for over a month now. all of a sudden today it starts and nothing in my system has changed. the thing is i have no car mode app in titanium nor is there an installed app to change settings.

here is the thread i ran on this problem... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12027541#post12027541 turning on bluetooth seemed to work for me for most things. Even though the app doesnt launch it still thinks its in a dock so the problem will continue. My best advice is buy a quality charger. I got a dock charger so it charges upright and that seemed to fix everything. But Im not 100% sure. My other Ideas was that I keep my phone in my pocket at work. Im in construction so I thought sweat may have caused a moisture problem in the phone... gross but just a thought haha
Could also be a bad usb port, causing the phone to think it's docked.
ok i'm still struggling with this. maybe the usb port is going bad i have no idea. that being said is there any possible way to remove car mode all together? its not listed as a separate app in titanium but i imagine there must be a way to remove it.
I had the exact same issue and it turned out to be a bad usb port since it happens to be one of the other issues with certain hw versions.. like b spot on nova screens n excessive light leakage. I would recomend flashing a stock rom n taking it to a sprint repair center for an exchange unless you know a particular that is lenient on rooted phones. Good luck.

just to add to this, try flashing a different rom just for kicks, to see if anything changes.
edit: sorry, I guess this was a couple weeks old
Here's a stab in the wind (unless it only happens when you plug it in). The car mode application also responds to magnetic fields. Are there any magnets near where you usually have this problem? (Wallets and purses often have magnets in them)
After taking the plug out the phone shows still charges sometimes i get high voltage warning . I tried different battery still same . The red light blinks all the time . Battery drains quick and it over heats. I am on ff02 from sfhub but i think that has nothing to do with this. By the way i used different cables to charge the phone and still same problem. What could this be and how do i fix it

Did this randomly start happening or did it start after making a change to your phone? (flashing anything, installing an app, changing settings, etc..)
mine started doing this then when you pulled the battery it wouldnt boot without being plugged in the port was bad I got a new phone
Yeah, unless you installed a ROM that modifies your voltages with a battery saver script or you just installed something like SetCPU, it sounds like a hardware issue to me.. I'd take it back to sprint and have them replace it for you.
Go here to revert back to the official stock rom/kernel and see if you still have the issue.. if you do, then you're already set to take it back to sprint for a replacement =)

Yu should go into cwm recovery and do a wipe battery status that's under wipe dalvik cache.. Then reflash the Rom

Okay, I have some problems with my S3. Running on task650's AOKP 4.2.2 Jellybean and Ktoonsez's KT747, for some information.
I found that I pretty much cannot charge my phone for any reason whatsoever. I plug in the USB, doesn't charge. Wiggle it around, plug it back in, charges for a bit, then disconnects once again. Even then, when it stays connected, the charging speed is just incredibly slow.
I have done a complete wipe, flashed ROM and everything again, and this issue persists. However, another issue arrive: I get a beeping, cracking sound from the speakers when I play games. It sounds almost like popping. I'm not sure if it's like this right after I flash it, but when I restore data, that is what happens.
I have considered having a shop take a look at my phone, but my phone is rooted and stuff, thus removing warranty. Is it true that you get warranty back if you revert to stock and unroot? If so, I would kindly ask for someone to direct me somewhere for help, as I just joined and am fairly clueless.
Has anyone ever experienced these issues? Is there a way to fix this, or should I bring it in to a shop?
i'm assuming you've tried another usb cable and/or are using the one that came with the phone? when did this issue begin? before or after rooting/flashing? it could also be the connector in the device.
when you restore data, are you restoring system data?
there's a link in my signature that details unrooting procedures near the bottom of post #2. check it out for the sake of checking it out.

These cords are cheap and that's how the act when they are dying. Is the poping audio a known bug with tasks 4.2.2.?

Yes, you assume correctly. It started after my phone died once... My phone has been rooted and on AOKP for months with no problem. Sure, I always had battery drain issues, but tolerable. Now, I've gotten 3% charge in 2 hours.
Odin back to stock and factory reset with beer's guide. See if it persists. You can easily return to stock for warranty

Also, Beer, I restore system data, but the popping sound started after I just restored user data. And what do you mean by the connector in the device? That could be the cause of the problem?
Alright, I'll see. If it does, what should I do? Send it in to Samsung, or go to a AT&T place?
When I used the latest Liquid Smooth rom it also gave me a popping type sound when i play a game. But after reverting back to an older rom, the sound was fine. Could be cause of the latest kernel. =/

do you always restore system apps/data? i've seen lots of users with device issues because they do this. not saying its the cause of your problems, just passing the information along
by connector i mean the actual usb port on the device.

Sasuke: Quite possibly, because after I went back to my 3/13 backup, it was perfectly fine. I don't think the 3.4 Linux was out yet, was it?
Beer: I normally never restore system, as I knew it would cause problems, discovered by experience. Then I read that if it's the same ROM, then it would be fine. I never had a need to restore anything anyways, it started after I did a wipe to see if it would solve the issue of not charging. Oh, I see, then yes, there's a possibilty that that's it.
My busybox install got corrupted and a lot of things got screwed up. So I did a wipe and reflashed cm10.2. Something that got screwy was the led light when charging would stay on even when the screen was on. But after i reflashed it still does it. Of course this is no big deal, I can just turn off the battery led in cm, but I just wanted to know if anyone knew what the issue was. Thank you very much for the help.

Really? Wow I must be going crazy or I never used my phone while it's been plugged in with cm10.2. Is there a way to change it so that the charging led only comes on when the screen is off?
Why would it even work this way? You can clearly see it's charging when the screen is on in the status bar. Also, when you go and change the battery charging led color and you want to test it, it even asks you to turn the screen off. Are you sure?

I'm sure.
There is a setting to disable to charging light entirely. But not for disabling it only when the screen is on.
You'll just have to live with it. If it bothers you that much, make it a darker color that is less obnoxious to your eyes that is easy to see in a dark room with the screen off but not as 'in your face' when the screen is on.
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?
