So this is a recent issue I have run into with my galaxy buds, and it seems very on and off. Right now they are back to working how they should be. However, over the past few days, they have not been working properly. The case LED would not turn off and always stay orange (even when fully charged and the case is closed), and whilst in this state, the earbuds themselves did not seem to be charging.
I have reset the earbuds via the gear app, which worked for about an hour.
I have also tried to use the PC sync app for the galaxy buds but you can't seem to do much in terms of resetting on there.
Has anyone else run into this issue, if so, any permanent fix?

I have had my evo since June 4. but lately it started randomly going to the car panel. So I disabled the car panel auto launch. But the evo always thinks it is connected to a car dock. When I plug in a headset the volume is locked to a medium setting. If I use the rocker switch it has no effect on the volume even though the screen shows it going up and down. That is the main reason why I want this to be fixed so I can use headphones at the level I want. I did a full reset and when the phone restarts right into car dock. I flashed different roms and first thing car dock... This leads me to believe it is a hardware issue. There is another post but the info is limited and no solution was found. Also The hd2 had a similar problem but no real solutions were found. I would appreciate any input on how to solve or work around this... thank you
Possible work around: If bluetooth is turned on and uncheck the car dock box the volume control on the headset works

The best thing to try is to install an original Sprint EVO RUU. It should completely reset your phone to the correct settings. See if that helps. Make sure as always, you wipe everything before hand. This should let you know if it actually is something wrong with the hardware, i.e.; one of the pins on the phone connection is bent or somehow signaling to the phone that it should be in car mode.
Any word on if you got this fixed? My phone is doing the exact same thing even after a hard reset.

If i have bluetooth turned on then everything works fine... its not a fix but it seems to work for me .... and my battery life doesnt seem that much worse either
I started having this problem when I bought a cheap ass usb cable, and I was.charging on my work pc. I got a new cable, and it stopped

BUMP BUMP! Wake up thread! I'm having the problem too!
My rooted EVO 4G running baked snack 1.8 is having the following issues, and they seem related as they started happening at the same time:
Cannot change headset volume (when volume rocker is pressed, graphical slider moves, but audio stuck at a low-to-medium level)
Car Mode launches sporadically without reason, even when phone is locked (had to turn off "auto launch" to stop it from popping up...it's as if the phone thinks it's being plugged into a car dock, which I don't own)
When sending/receiving a call, the external speaker turns on, I have to shut it off each time I answer a call (SO DAMN ANNOYING):
SOME MORE INFO:
This all started happening at once while I was walking down the road listening to music on my phone (i.e., no software was downloaded/changed)
I have done a nand restore to a previous point where there were no problems and the issue persists
It's not because of baked snack. This happened to me once before when I was running the stock ROM, but one day it just suddenly fixed itself. But it's been weeks and I'm tired of it.
ANY IDEAS??

Im pretty sure it was the charger i was using just like the other post said. I got a dock charger and after a week or so the problem just stopped. Im not sure if something is getting bent or shorted or what. Try turning on bluetooth for a work around until the charger straitens things out
No headphone volume/InCar App starts...solved
Have owned the HTC EVO 4G about 18 months with no problems. These issues just started happening yesterday out of the blue.
What didn't work:
cleaned charging port w/toothbrush
toggled bluetooth settings (don't use bluetooth)
Restart
HTC update
PRL update
What did work:
Uninstalling Vlingo

I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.
I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.
I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.

This is happening to me too.
At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.
Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.
I don't have skype installed.
Have a look at this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360880&highlight=sleep+of+death
Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.
I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.
Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.
Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.
Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

it does it when i have skype running too. also i have other other audio apps open. (power amp, tunein, pandora) It's happened twice to me and each time it has been during a skype call while the other apps were running. (in widget form)
shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?
My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".
I just got my Sprint GN a few weeks ago, and love using the bluetooth to connect to my car audio, but every 3rd or 4th time I get into my car I notice the bluetooth doesn't pair, so I take out my phone and look and the bluetooth icon is gray (instead of blue, indicating it has connected), I toggle the bluetooth off, and then when I try to turn the bluetooth radio back on it just sits there saying "bluetooth is turning on...". Bluetooth stops working until I reboot my phone
Does anyone have any incites into this or anyone else experiencing this?
I have the same issue. It's no solution but you can enable/disable Flightmode to get Bluetooth up and running again (but quicker then reboot).

I'll give that a try (again) next time.. I am 100% certain I had tried that, though, unfortunately.
Yeah, I tried your solution again, and it just keeps saying "bluetooth is turning on..." even after I've turned *on* airplane mode.
Need some more information to be able to help you properly >_>
Stock ROM or Custom?
Rooted/Unrooted?
Or alternatively (Because it sounds like you're running a stock Galaxy Nexus...) ave you tried unpairing, and the repairing the devices?
Hi Zach,
Completely stock & unrooted (so far)
I actually did a complete factory reset a couple days ago, and the problem has yet to resurface, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's gone, but the issue was intermittent so there is no way to be completely sure it won't show up again.
If it does, I'll try your suggestion, thanks
Hi guys
I got an HTC M8s less than 2 months now and it has so many issues it's driving me insane at this stage....
It's on stock ROM unrooted with all the latest updates.
First issue that came up was not recognising the headphones after i plugged them in, that eventually went away after lots of searching and fiddling with settings etc.
Then it started going into Car mode while it was resting on the table, no input on my end no triggers set for it, hell i don't even own a car to use this function....
I disabled HTC car and that stopped.
The included micro usb cable somehow went bad, tried it on other devices, it will not charge....
Now i'm having some weird charging behaviour, it drops out of charging and resumes or sometimes it just stops charging (that doesn't happen when the phone is charging while being switched off, so i'm guessing it's not a hardware issue)
Another massive problem is that all incoming/outgoing calls go to the speaker which almost burst my ear drum first time that happened.
I have looked in every single forum out there and have tried all possible solutions, ranging from disabling google Chrome to trying every available speaker management/toggle related program on the play store but nothing seems to be working.
Some times if i plug in the headphones, make a call and then unplug them, then it works as it should for a little while. But later on it reverts to the previous mentioned behaviour.
One thing i have noticed, before it routes calls to the speaker, the screen will light up, no notifications come up and then all calls go to the speaker.
I used Wakelock to try and find out which program triggers the screen wake in order to remove it and maybe solve this issue but nothing came up.
Any input would be greatly appreciated as i am at the end of my rope with this device....
I still have my HTC DHD A9191 and i never had any issues with that phone, i'm very dissappointed with HTC :/
Thanks in advance

Less then 2 months......return it ! Not even sure what you want to achieve here besides messing up warranty ?
I am using Spign slim armor case on m8s and after using it my power button isn't working.
and I have a Motion Launch problem when phone is on my pocket it opens camera, calls someone because of the sensor.Any fix about that?

ok man
look i have htc one m8 + one m7+one max
the one m7 had the same problem of u
i will give to you one solution for try
i try it on the one m7 and its work
but on one max not work
on m8 not test yet
try this:
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging.
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal
if it not charge at the first time then try it again andd u will be OK
Hi Hazem
Thanks for the input, i'll give this a go when i get back home and let you know if it works out.
Should i try this when the phone is at 4-5% ? And then let it charge all the way ?
I'm experiencing these same issues as well after rooting my M8. Hopefully someone here knows what the issue is.
Well for me all issues remain unresolved.
My guess so far for the culprit seems to be the magnetic sensor, either badly programmed or a factory defect.

u must charge ur phone

thx
Sorry Hazeem I understand that English isn't your first language, and you are trying to help but you are not making much sence....
You are basically telling me to charge my phone, then switch it off and charge it again even though it's already charged for another 3 hours....
Ok an update !
HTC Released a service pack along with an update for the car application, after installing these and a couple of reboots the charging problems stopped and the phone doesn't seem to be waking up without any reason, as it did before.
The calls getting routed to the speaker still remain but thanks to an app called Auto Speaker, I've managed to work around this issue. Before the updates this application had no effect, but now it works as it should by turning off the speaker when the proximity sensor is blocked.
I hope I am not celebrating too soon on this and I'll keep this post updated if anything else, related to these issues, happens.
Update 2
So far so good and with another unexpected benefit, I removed my phone from the charger Saturday morning around 11 and as of now Monday 7:30 it's at 27% !
I have a Kenwood DDX9702S receiver. My 5X is having issues using Android Auto for an extended period of time. Usually around the 45 minute mark the Android Auto interface will lock up. Music and GPS guidance will cease to function and the phone feels hot. I can unplug and plug the USB cable back in and it will begin functioning, but for a much shorter time period before locking up again. If I wait for the phone to cool down Auto will work for an extended period of time again. Everything else on the phone appears to be working fine, even when the device is hot.
Here's a list of things I have tried.
- My initial suspicion was that the phone was overheating and killing the Android Auto process. I RMA'd my phone and the replacement exhibits the same issue.
- I've tried using the phone without a case.
- I installed Cyanogenmod to see if it happened to be Google's build, but that didn't help either.
- I've tried numerous different USB cables with no luck.
To help rule out the Kenwood receiver being the issue I have tested with a Galaxy S6 and it does not have the issue. The S6 appears to work indefinitely.
Has anyone else had issues with their 5X locking Android Auto up? Does anyone have a suggestion on something to try to remedy this issue? It's very frustrating because on longer distant trips is usually when I'm counting on the GPS to function correctly. On short trips, such as to and from work, it functions as intended.
