Dock mode won't shut off - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my phone looks like its in dock mode?!?!
The clock app displays/loads for no reason, even instead of lock screen. Every time I answer my phone, it answers it in speaker mode...
I'm running aokp m6, I even tried a restore from before this issue, but it still here.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you may have corrosion somewhere, possibly a port...those are pretty common symptoms of some type of minor liquid damage that we see come in

Like the usb port?
Any suggestions on cleaning it?
Thanks for your response/help!

Suggestion? Take it into one of our Service and Repair stores lol.
If you really want to try it yourself, you need denatured alcohol with very high alcohol concentration. We also finish up with a gold contact cleaner, but I don't know where to get that.

Weird camera problem??

So ever since I received my Evo I have had a weird camera problem when I start it up its all purple and strange looking...and I was just wondering if I should have sprint look at it or if its normal when I push the camera down it makes it look normal

Go into applications and force close the camera app. If that doesn't work hard reset the device.

Do that, or you may have to change the contrast settings. I know that happened to another user...otherwise, your camera may be broken.
Your camera is separating off the board. It will eventually fail completely. I'd get it repaired under warranty.

Sgs3 easy ums app

I want to know if people are getting this app to work on their phone. Couldn't really find any threads like this. I used to use my old phone in my accord and ums made it simple to show my music on the screen. I tried using this app but it doesn't seem to work in the accord. It's stuck on usb load screen. Has anyone gotten it to work in their cars and if so what model I think it might not work on all cars because it works in my dad's bimmer

Actually it probably has more to do with what you are using it for. I use this app and have never had a problem with it. But I have never used it to connect to my car stereo or anything like that.
Have you tried another version if the app? Maybe connectibg via bluetooth would work better?

I'm in the same page, I'm looking for a way to transfer files from my phone to my Mac. Android file transfer isn't working for me, and I hate using kies.

Have you looked onto any wireless solutions? I think you have to be rooted for most, but don't quote me on that. I use SwiFTP and love it. There are others on the market as well.

My car doesn't support a2dp the stock stereo is really nice and integrated with the rest of the dashboard so I don't wanna replace it with a new one. It's odd that the app works with my dad's car but not mine. I know it's at least reading it because when it was on mtp it would just say unsupported rather than usb load. Normally that load screen is only there for a second or 2 and starts playing immediately. I'll try another build of the app if not I guess aux cable it is although it's nice to have one cable for charge and music and have it display the song on the screen

Also try it with usb debugging on and off.

Maybe try moving a file to the parent/root directory of the external sd card to see if your car can read that?

How do I do that? You mean the root folder? Isn't that for the internal sd card also I had no luck with usb debugging. The app doesn't even seem to work with it off
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Like placing a file in the parent folder /mnt/extSdCard instead of /mnt/extSdCard/Music

Using generic ones have caused other issues for some people.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Honestly I've tried everything lol someone said that the mtp is still there for the internal storage so the car might be trying to read that and that's why it's not working

I'm running out of ideas for ya man. Sorry.
All I can think to try now is maybe a custom kernel or another rom.

That's the only thing I haven't tried but thanks for ur suggestions. Still puzzles me how it works in one car and not the other now ill make sure my next car has a2dp support

One more thing I just remembered! Try removing the MusicFX.apk and .odex. This helped someone else connect to a radio they were having trouble with.
Just remove from /system/app/. Then reboot thMake a backup of them first in case it doesn't help. If it does, flash dsp manager to replace it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just installed a new rom that already has dsp and no musicfx so I'll see if it works.btw its deodexed not odexed should I odex it there's an app for it with the rom don't really know the difference though
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't until you try as it is. If it doesn't work then try odexing but I doubt it'll have an effect.

i dont mean to bash or be mean man and i know it can be confusing but wrong thread. ALL questions belong under Q and A
besides the obvious (wrong thread) I have the exact same issue. LGNPST keeps stopping at 67% or 85% and not working. Then my device stopped working all together. taking it to the store tomorrow.
I just unplugged my phone, let it reboot than plugged it back in and lgnpst finished up after that. It kept freezing at 85% for me.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
The 67,85% issue is a bug with the software, but it's not an issue. Your device would reboot then and everything would be peachy.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Does your phone do anything while not plugged in? Mine when i bricked didn't. You may need to take out the battery.

Yes with a torx 5 screwdriver and Phillips 00
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Ok! Even though this is the wrong forum...again I apologize. I was able to recover lol.
Heres the story: my phone soft bricked. I had zv8 rooted using the AIO tool and unlocked bootloader using freegee app..support the devs! And was lazy lol.
A friend of mine decided it would be a fantastic idea to allow the OTA for ZV9 to install...needless to say the phone went nuts. Into "epileptic mode" as I like to call it.
The phone would not turn on..at all...unless you hooked it up to usb or AC. And even if you connected to such power options...the phone would only flash the the red notification light and the softkeys consistently over and over like a police car lol.
Even after running LGNPST. It would go back to "epileptic mode" after reboot at 67%. I found this to be annoying....since the firmware was flashing without issue.
I hopped on IRC and fiddy and shelnut2 instructed me to do a battery pull. Thank God for them lol.
I got a T5 screwdriver and a small philips, removed both screws from the bottom and then removed the back cover carefully. Once it opened I peeled back the blue clear tape covering the battery connections and removed the two screws under that (used philips). Disconnected the battery for 5 seconds then reconnected and pressed power on button and finally.....PROFIT!!!!!!
Phone booted with stock firmware from LGNPST.

can someone show me how to calibrate S-pen in SGN2?

I utilize my S-pen for sketching purposes, though, somehow, the pointer seems to be off. Don't know what's wrong with it, if I need to calibrate or something else. Your opinion and guide line is helpful. Thanks in advance

Dial *#0*# and go to the wacom test, see if ur screen itslef isnt messed up.
If u wanna increase or decrease sensitivity, ur gonna have to take the clicky portion of your stylus off, the button u push to get trace effects or enter settings with. Theres potentiometers inside, turning clockwise decreases sensitivity and turning counter clockwise increases. Ive only read about it and havent done it myself, id post a link, but the info goes to another forum, a simple google search will give u more info.
Good luck and report back

You can go to a tmobile store and show them and they can maybe replace the stylus for your, just don't mention that you opened it

Wow, thanks for the info, I may have to tinker with my son once I'm brave enough.. . lol
I found a solution to my own problem, initially, I was have tough time using spen during sketches and during other apps that uses spen; The problem was my hard cover case that has magnet to close, that magnet always came behind the screen as I opened my case while sketching or using spen.... You keep the magnet away from the screen and that's it... problem solved.

Dirt in the home button (white version)
