[Q] Car Home doesn't stop opening.

Ok.. I'm on MIUI 1.28 the final release .. I found it on the sticky ..sinse I flashed the rom, I unlocked then the icon on the status bar appear. It's the car home icon.. Even though car home doesnt come install on miui. The happened on sense, gingerbread and miui 1.21 i don't know what's wrong .. I tried to download the app then uninstall it so it wouldn't appear again but when I install it it kept openin and closing by itself.. Idk what's wrong with it... Any help guys.. Although. On sense rom it stopped running and dessapear but now I can't even open an app when it opens again...
Rom = miui 1.28
Stock kernel .. Nothing add ..

Try going in to settings, apps,manage, all, and select car home and force stop, than clear stast or memory. That might help you.

Well I use Amon ra recovery 2.2.1
Flash the calking zip.. This is better then just wipe ..
Also wipe everything separate ..
Flashed miui, evervolt. Sprint lovers rom .. The pc36img.zip . The roms were flashed one after the other when ten car home app started to open by itself.. Now I'm back on miui 1.28 and at first didn't get any about the car home app .. But like 6 hours later it started.. Something I've notice is that it does it more when i put it next to my iPad .. It's really weird and annoying at the same time ...

Okay, that it's so weird.so you are up to date as far as firmware from sprint? Did you wipe everything more than once?

You might have a problem with your USB connector. Girlfriend's EVO was having this problem (hers is completely stock) so we took it in to Sprint. Turns out the USB connector had some corrosion, they cleaned up the connector and it has been fine since. Apparently the corrosion on the connector was somehow making the phone think it was in a car dock, so it opened up the Car Home screen.

Desire HD auto turn on speaker?

Hi, my Desire HD just automaticly turn on speaker everytime i call someone or recieved a all.
I did some searching and people say turn it off may help. I tried to turn it off (no fast boot) remove the battery, and it still turn on auto speaker
I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
I think the proximity sensor have problems. So i tried some test with it. It's still fine
Can someone help me with this? i even tried hard reseting my phone, it doesnt help

What rom are you using? I had the same problem once, reflashing fixed it.

I'm using stock ROM , when turn on it says the branding is SFR something. I havent rooted my phone or install any other ROM ever

Well then you could try recalibrating the g-sensor from settings -> display.

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

That was what I was aiming for. The g-sensor thinks the phone is upside down when in fact it isn't, recalibrating should fix this.

Hi all. thanks you so much for the support.
I've tried all the above, like turn off carmode, turn off flip for speaker...etc. take out the battery, sim card, sd card. It's still the same. After some digging, i found a topic about this on the DHD forum. They said it was an USB problem. i tried to plug it in to the USB and wiggle it a little bit and carmode/speaker auto turn on and off time to time. I was about to give up and when i'm on my way to return it. It suddenly come back to normal, no problem, tested with the USB cord. This is so weird !!!!! but i'm glad that it's gone away

My other half had exactly the same thing on her Desire, turns out it was dirt/ fluff in the USB socket!

I have the same problem with my DHD, since I don't have the warranty for my set, is there a way around it. Like some sort of app which turns the speakers off when u make or recieve the call. That can make my life easier.

This problem started with my phone too..I tried all above such as changing rom,usb trick,sim+battery+sd remove,calibrating g-sensor ...Only thing i did not try is changing radio..If it wouldnt help me ,i dont know what to do since i dont have a warranty too..Its really annoying..

DHD speaker selfactivating
Those problems /carmode and speaker selfactivating/ started shortly after OTA 2.3 update.I honestly don't remember how I've managed the carmode issue,but initially I was able to solve the speaker selfactivating by pulling out the headphones' plug during a phone call.That did it for a once or twice,as the result lasted for a day or two.After reading the tricks suggested above I tried them with no success until pulling out the phone end of the usb during a phone call while connected to the pc in debug mode.So far I've made a few calls and it looks OK.

I don't want to scary you, but when I had the same problem I found only one solution which works- restore to factory settings... Its a pity...

Hi ,
I have the same problem on my Desire Z. I have had the phone for more then 6 months.
I was running stock: - no problem !
I was running Virtuous Sense 1.0.1 for about 3 months: - no problem !
Yesterday I got this: it auto turns on the loud speaker when I answer or dial.
Flip for speaker is turned off, G-Sensor is calibrated !
I have updated to Virtuous Sense 1.0.2 : same problem !
I have wiped off everything and flashed Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 : TWICE !
Same problem
Sorry for posting under DHD, I did not want to open a new topic on DZ forum , but I will if I must, this is driving me crazy !

I have solved this after wiping all data and flashing the rom again (3rd try !

I told it, there is only one solution- restoring factory settings...

same problem without OTA
Got the same problem since 2 weeks without having done any changes at all to my DHD (still on 1.72.405.3)
+ Car panel starts randomly when connected to USB for charging
+ Phone speaker always on regardless what I tried before
So, I really do not think this is a rom related issue but more a "aging" problem like the GPS connectivity.
Anybody any idea, why the USB plug should be respobsible for this strange behaviour?

I'm not sure this is a USB related issue. It may be the audio jack. My problems started after unplugging the headphones while listening music, to answer the phone.

same problem here ...

My phone also started having the same problem since today morning!
EDIT: So I tried to remove battery, then cleaned the micro-usb port and the headphone port and the issue seems to have disappeared atleast for now. Don't want to do a factory reset as have too much data and apps on phone.
EDIT 2: So as it turns out it was Go SMS Pro problem that was causing the issue since its update 2 days back. The developer has released a new version in Market now claiming to solve the issue.
Anyways whatever issue it is hope it does not return.

already did that, also try to flash other ROM but the problem still there

You can try cleaning out your microusb port. I've seen this be an issue a few times. Also if you don't use it. Delete the car dock apk

how should i clean that port?
i've used tiny needle to clean the dust, use tooth brush and nothing happened
freeze the dockmode.apk and still nothing

What I did was use a thin cotton shirt and a needle to wipe in there. I also deleted the apk. My friend hasn't had an issue since, so not sure which one actually. Solved it

Car mode on!

I'm using CM9 A2 right now. I don't know how, but one of my friend switched the 'car mode' on. Now my phone rotates 360° and ALL calls directly go to speaker phone.
I had got 'car mode' on notification once. Then it never came back. But I definitely saw it.
What all I tried:
- Restarting the phone
- Factory Reset
- Change Google Account
- Wiped everything and flashed the ROM again
PLEASE tell me how the hell do I shut it.

Dirt inte the micro-USB connector. IE it thinks a car charger i plugged in because there is some short in the USB port.
Saw another thread on the same issue.

He do I fix it?

Clean it somehow, maybe stabbing the USB-connection a few times with the charger connector
Try to find the other thread where it was mentioned, I think they carefully cleaned the micro-usb with something until it worked.

Oh damn, it was in Wildfire S sub-forum itself?
Will try finding it right away!

Reflash the rom with GAPPS that doesn't contain Car mode? Maybe that fixes it?

Probably in one of the CM 9 threads. But I also read CM 7.2 here and in the HTC Desire forum. Any any other threads that seems interresting

Help!!!!!!

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.
