This is quite odd. Anybody else had this happen ? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone randomly goes into car mode and it lowers ny headphones volume dramatically . I deleted car home and switched roms and it still does it. I really need help because its killing my battery

The car mode thing sounds like a fudged usb port, as for the volume decreasing im not so sure....

It mainly happens when off the charger . I don't think it would be the usb. But who knows .

EE03 car dock mode

So about an hour ago, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and the screen said "car dock mode enabled press --------------"
And I got about that far before it went off. Now I assume it said press so and so button to exit, but I've been screwing around for an hour now and can't get it out.
My phone is now locked into landscape and runs like ****.
Super slow and laggy and has had a few fcs.
Any one know how to turn it off?

Not sure on that app but a quick fix is just to pull the battery and reboot.

Do you have the car dock app installed?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Nope, no car dock app is installed.
Not sure what happened, but it took 3 battery pulls to get back right. Felt like I was using a blackberry again.
I was reading and apparently car dock mode can be activated by crossing two pins on a charge cable with a 619k resistor.
I've been having problems with my charge port lately and wonder if that's part of the problem.

Aux problem with car

So I went to play music through my cars, aux input for the first time and it does not work.
The headphone icon appears In the upper left and then it disappears right after. When I hit plat the music plays out through my phones speakers.
I have tried 2 different aux cables with the same result. I anyone else else having this problem or know of a fix?

Seems more of a hardware issue than software to me. Did you try a pair of headphones that you know works?
Is your phone docked when you do this?

All the headphones I have tried work
And my phone is not docked when trying to play. I did read that there were problems when connected to blue tooth and aux at the same time

So far everything I have tried to plug into works so I'm guessing it could be something with my car.
Anyone else have a saab 93 and an s3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I've had my S3 since 7/1 and never had any issues. My friend just got an S3 as well and he's got a 2009 93 Aero and he has the exact same issue. We tested with multiple cables and both of our phones, they both exhibit the exact same behaviour. We've yet to figure out what causes this though. It's definitely something with the GM radio in the car as it does not happen like this anywhere else. you're not alone but dont have any answer for you.
Well at least it's not a problem with my phone I guess.
Have you tried on any of other roms, or just stock?
If you find a way around this let me know/ill do the same

same thing happened to me, use a q tip to clean out the inside of the headphone jack, if that doesnt work wait a few days and it should go back to normal, thats what it did for me
You tried a battery pull yeah?

Wrong section to post this in. Should be in the Q&A.
I would try battery pull first.

Check where the usb cable plugs in. Mine was doing the same thing and I realized the middle portion of the usb connector on my phone was touching the bottom. It thought it was charging/over voltage when it really wasn't plugged in. I just used a little screwdriver to bend in back to the middle.

Do you have another charger to try ? My friend fixed his "high voltage" issue replacing charger.
I waited until the battery died to plug it with another charger and I think the USB connection was almost or maybe it was touching the low part(the hole where the cable is plugged).Lets see what happen next!Thanks for you advice!

Touchscreen issues

I've started noticing when I'm plugged into an outlet and using my fingers, the touchscreen gets really nasty with me. Pressing buttons I haven't touched, no response except from s pen in landscape mode... Anyone else noticed this issue? It only ever happens when it's plugged in. My Atrix used to do this too.
Edit: noticed it started doing this vertical not plugged in. What's going on?

I'm gonna try and do that tomorrow. It's just under the 15 day thing at Best Buy.
