Magnetic Car Dock Issues - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem using my magnetic car dock and Tasker profile with this device.
The Tasker profile launches the Car Dock app once the audio lead is plugged in. The screen stays on until I remove the lead where it exits the app and turns screen off.
Unfortunately on stock based custom ROMs the screen doesn't stay on once docked. On CM13 it works flawlessly but I had reboot issues on that ROM.
I have tried apps, turned off QuickCircle case, tried a Terminal command but still no luck.
Does any one have a solution? I'm willing to physically remove the magnet sensor from the device but don't know it's location.
Thanks.

[Q] Speaker phone - Activating every call!

Got a bit of a weird problem, all of a sudden my DHD keeps on activating the speaker phone every time i answer a call on it.
It never used to do this and i'm bamboozled by what's causing this. I've tried turning off the flip over phone to activate speaker mode and it's still doing this.
Looked through all the settings with no clue what has changed.
Tested it 6 times today using the house phone and it activates if you slide to answer or press the green answer button so it's not like i'm hitting it accidentally.
HELP!
same here..googling for an answer now :S
found something? got the same problem
My HTC Inspire started doing the same thing today. Kinda weird, as i haven't changed any setting or added / removed anything for a few days
You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.
Did you make your DHD wet somehow?
I pour some coke on my Desire and it started to activate the speaker for calls as default. I have started to use Sanity app from Market to force it not to use speaker.
After a few days I have removed the app and everything is fine since then. The coke has been dried out I guess.
Try Sanity.
just a question, but do u have the 'callrecorder' app?
or anything like that?
i had a similiar problem, in my case it was made by car mode.
the phone "knows" that is plugged in a car dock cause it makes a intentional short in micro usb port... one of the features of car mode is always turn on speaker.
sometimes that short happens even without car dock (that was my case).
i solve it by cleaning the port with a really tiny pin and isopropyl alcohol... you can test it by touching a pin in some contacts of the port...

maybe some moisture ?
Did you try to calibrate your G-Sensors? they might be wrong and triggering the flip to speaker phone function.
Hi I had this problem too and found it was an app called power amp I had installed on my dhd! After uninstalling it the speaker issues stopped! Hope this helps
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Anyone fix this yet cos my dhd has just started this, I've turned off the car panel thing and I've cleaned all the fluff out of the USB port but it's still on speaker phone. It seems to have started after I charged it up in my van with a car charger. Any idea's cos this is doing my nut in.
Have the same problem. Rebooting the phone fixes it for me. The problem starts again every time I turn the speaker on.

I think it's not a hardware fault or software issue, the phone's screen automatically lock when you place the phone near the ear, they use proximity sensor for auto turn off the screen. When something block the sensor signals it turns the screen off. But sometimes when we call someone and if our head or ear not close enough to block those signals display won't turn off and buttons are remain active, so if our face touch the screen (loud speaker button) it turns on the loud speaker. That's what happen I guess, because it happen also for me most of the time

Odd problem with car charging

I am rooted
Mikg sense 3.0
chopsuey
set cpu installed and overclocked to 1075200
OK...
1 during charge using cigarette lighter plug my Navigation will screen off back to my home screen where my icon is located, however, Navigation is still running in background. Audio turn by turn still working and program shown in navigation bar.
2. Used Car Home (car panel) and same thing. Screen goes off and back to home scree with car panel icon. Contacts will also open then close.
Navigation will run for 4 - 6 minutes on charge.
I've changed chargers. 1 is sprint cable, the other is sprint usb with aftermarket lighter adapter.
no problem off charger.
I'm also running setcpu and tried changing some settings. Doesnt seem to matter.

[Q] How to disable Auto-Orientation-ON on magnetic charging cable

Sorry if that has already been answered but I didn't find an answer.
When I connect a magnetic charging cable to my z1c, the phone ignores the orientation setting and always auto-rotates the screen. Is there a way to disable that and have the phone strictly stick to the settings (in my case, fixed portrait mode most of the time)?
Thanks for your time. Best regards.
If you are rooted, use the xposed module Disable Desk Dock.
Check ur smart connect settings maybe it is changing orientation when it detects ur magnetic charger.
Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk
Thx for the suggestions. I might try to install Xposed in the nearer future, I guess. In Smart Connect, there no active events.
Can anybody confirm my device acts the same as all do (or not)?
On connecting the magnetic charger, the screen will auto-rotate depending on the orientation of the phone, even with orientation fixed in settings.
Thank you for the solution.

I had the same problem - at first I thought there was something broken in Carbon Rom for the Xperia Z1 Compact which caused this crazy auto-rotation behaviour. Whenever I had connected the magnetic charging cable all my rotation-settings were overwritten and full 360° rotation was happening on every screen - even on the lockscreen. Very annoying.

This fixed it. Thank you very much.
I guess this was originally thought as a feature not a bug. It makes sense if you use the phone in the magnetic dock and its position is thus fixed. But it's definitely a bug when using a magnetic charging cable and trying to unlock a freely rotating lockscreen.
I confirm Disable Desk dock module works well on this, but...
May I ask you (the ones who have this module on Z1C) if you found any side effect?
For me is: if I have magnetic charged, when I switch off I get in a "boot" loop (sony on display coming and going).

Unable to turn on screen with smart cover

Wonder if anyone is using smart cover. I am on stock Rom, elementalx kernel, xposed installed. The smart cover works well before, but since the last system update in January, the smart cover sometimes fails to turn on screen. It works just after rebooting the phone, for a few hours or sometimes for one day. But then, when I try to open the cover, the screen remains off, and it can't be turn on even with the power button, necessitating a reboot. The problem is avoided by defunctioning magnetic sensor by an xposed module.
Anyone having the same problem?
I use Auto Sreen

Question ZFold 3 - disable fully charged notification and force landscape mode while in car dock

Could someone please point me to the notification app that causes the screen to light up when fully charged and how to force the landscape mode when the phone screen goes into AOD mode?
I have a car cradle/charger that is in landscape mode with the phone open like a tablet and it's annoying when the battery is fully charged the screen keeps lighting up. Also, when the screen times out and enters AOD mode, it rotates back to portrait mode when fully opened in landscape mode.
I was able to disable this on my Note 10+ but it seems to be a different process for the Fold3.
Thanks
Are you using a car dock that plugs into the base of the phone or is it a wireless charging dock?

Wireless fast charging dock.
I also use a wireless car dock and have had to make some changes to use the Fold3 properly.
First I set up developer mode so that I could enable screen on while charging. This way the screen would normally not turn off while in the cradle. Here is how to get developer mode set:
Step 1: Go to Settings > About Phone.
Step 2: Tap Software Info > Build Number.
Step 3: Tap Build Number seven times.
Then enable Keep Screen On when Charging which will keep it out of AOD
Second I set up the Assistant menu from Accessibility Options in Settings.
Step 1: Go to Settings > Accessibility.
Step 2: Tap Interaction and dexterity >turn On Assistant menu
Step 3: Select items that will help while driving.
A floating ever-present icon will now be on your screen (you can change the transparency) and you can tap it to show items to change. I use the Volume item all the time as my car dock hides the volume control. Screen off is good if yo want to override the always on while charging setting for a bit. Screenshot is wonderful and easier than any other way to save what you're looking at.
Also make sure all apps are set for Auto rotating so they are easy to use in the car dock. There is a screen rotation selection in the Assistant in case one pops up that is not set to rotate on it's own.
Hope this helps!

Use Bixby Routines to keep it on landscape when in your car. If you connect the phone Bluetooth with your car stereo, use that as the condition, otherwise whatever else might fit (not sure they separate wireless charging from just charging in general). I'm not quite sure what you mean by the phone keeps lighting up when charged?

It only does that for a second and only if the phone is off, so I'm not sure what the big deal is to have that happen, especially if you aren't even paying attention to it because you're driving? Not once while driving have I ever noticed it happen, and I keep my phone on a wireless charging holder in the car (I use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Tethering to my stereo on it for music and Google Maps on my Android car stereo) where it generally is on AOD while I'm driving. It sits right next to the stereo screen.

It lights up my entre cab and the glare blocks vision to my drivers side mirror.
I have the fold open and in landscape mode so it's a significant light source when this happens.
So I assume the charging notifications have been removed from the SYSTEMUI app now?

Why do you have it open if you don't use it while driving, as using it would be even brighter than a quick little blip on the screen? Not sure how it is even that bright, either, but in the car mine is closed on the wireless charger holder since I use my stereo screen for Google Maps, music, launcher, etc. (and when parked can use basically any other app like YouTube or Chrome). Do you not have a stereo screen in your car, as I can see how not having one would mean your eyes aren't adjusted to having a screen in the dark car? (My screen auto-adjusts the brightness, I believe.) What are your phone screen settings?
You can turn off the charging sound, but that's all I see about the charging notification in the settings.
ETA: Out of curiosity, I tested charging it to 100% with the screen off, phone open, and me watching it for when it turned 100%. It did nothing but change the number to 100 and the battery icon to full, so I have no idea what your mean by the screen turning on. I was thinking maybe it does the same thing as when you first start charging it with the green circle thing, but it doesn't. Maybe you are using a third-party charging screen that you forgot about? Like from a weather app or something?

So, if it is already on, I don't understand your problem? The phone itself doesn't do anything to alert you when it is fully charged.
I don't always have the fold3 on when I'm driving at night. Sometime I use a navigation app.
The issue as explained in the 1st post is when the fold3 is opened fully and in the wireless charging cradle, and I am driving (particularly at night) and when the phone reaches a fully charged state, a notification shows "fully charged" and the screen lights up for about 5 sec.
I don't know how clearer I can explain that I'm looking to disable this notification as I did with my Note 10+, which did the exact same thing when fully charged and docked.

Mine doesn't light up like that, so I don't know why yours does. Mine can't be open while on the wireless charger, but closed it doesn't turn on and plugged in while open it doesn't turn on when it reaches 100%. Is it turning on your lock screen? If so, I guess change that to just a black screen. If something else, maybe it is a third-party app you brought over from your previous phone.
There was a notification setting in SYSTEM UI a couple versions ago that let you disable the fully charged notification.. Seems to be missing in the latest Android release.
My charger mount allows the Fold3 to be fully open and charging -

My charger is similar (with the suction cup and curved arm going down), but I wouldn't want my phone open on the charger as it would block my stereo screen (2-DIN size) which I use for Google Maps and other apps, and I don't use my phone screen while driving (just use it for WiFi tethering so my stereo gets data and for Bluetooth for music, calls, Google Assistant, and notifications read out loud from Bixby). If I'm parked and waiting, I use my phone in my hand for ease.
I don't know about the setting, but it is weird if they took a setting away but left it as each person had it set at that moment.
Just bumping this thread as I'm still looking for a solution..
The notification I am trying to disable is for 'battery full' and 'wireless charging paused' if anyone can help.
Thanks
