For the past 2 days, no matter what ROM I flash, car dock comes on at every reboot. I've never used the car dock app, so I'm at a loss as to why it starts up every time I reboot my phone. I exit out of car dock, and it doesn't start back up until the next time I reboot.
Also, every time a call comes in, or if I make a call, speaker phone is always on by default. Again, this happens on every ROM I flash, and it's only been happening the past 2 days.
I'm rooted, currently using Warm Z, with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs more havs.
I should also mention that I've tried multiple kernels with the hopes that maybe that would solve the issue, but sadly it hasn't. Any help would be appreciated.
Well I have no idea why or how, but both issues have solved themselves. Nothing was installed or uninstalled, and my phone is back to normal.
Anyone have any ideas at all?

I'm having the exact same problems with my G2. If the Evo and G2 are anything like many of the other phones out there, they use a magnet to switch into car mode.
My problems started when I first started using a belt pouch with a magnetic closure - before I knew about the magnet/car mode thing.
Has your phone been exposed to a magnet for any period of time?
My phone is doing the same thing! Did you find any solution?
On my G2 I did a SuperWipe and then installed a new ROM and the problem was solved.
I believe that the car dock mode is regulated by the pin out of the power cable. Recall it being that two of the ground wires are attached in the car dock and not in regular power cable mode.
Also in car dock application, you can go into the menu option and turn it off so that the car dock application isn't the default action when it senses that connection.
I actually own the car dock, but hate the application since I usually only dock the phone when in GPS mode.
Having the same problem.

I've had the same problem for a month now anybody find a solution really annoying at this point.
I had Car Dock starting for no reason on my phone. What I was found was that launching Car Dock was done so by certain pins in the Micro USB port on the phone. What was happening to me was that the Micro USB plug on my charger was messed up in a way that made the phone think it was plugged into the dock instead of just a regular charger. I bought a new charger on Ebay for like $3 and never had the problem again.
I've read that some people have Car Dock launch without their phone being plugged in. Almost all of them noticed that they had some sort of tiny debris within the usb port that was crossing the pins and causing the app to launch. Cleaning out the port with something like a toothpick should help eliminate that possibility.
Hope this helps.
Yes I read that as well, and tried cleaning the port with a soft tooth brush and compressed air and didn't help. the most annoying part is the load speaker is the default for incoming/outgoing calls and the media volume is stuck on full, much to load for headphones. More than likely the pins are touching and so small that I can't see them much less straiten them out. Trying to find someone who can solder a new port, so if anybody has sent there evo to have the port fix with good results I would appreciate a good recommendation.
thank
Hey guys,
I bought a Monoprice MHL adapter for my Epic Touch a few months ago, and while it works, every now and then I will have weird issues with it. Sometimes while using it, my voice connectivity will drop to the point where it will either be roaming or I will get no service... then when I unplug the adapter, I magically get service back again. Video will randomly cut in and out when this happens, as well. One time I turned on airplane mode and the problems went away, so I have a feeling that for some reason, the MHL adapter is not playing nice with the phone's radio. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?
while i didn't notice any problems with the radio, the screen also was cutting off on the tv so i contacted monoprice about it and they send me a new one and this one has no cut offs or nothing im a happy camper.
I purchased an ivic 5d from a company called vaistech. This allows you to emulate your android phone on the touch screen in your car. It does so with hdmi inputs and a Bluetooth mouse setup. My issues come from the mhl. My phone connects and is perfect in airplane mode or on Wi-Fi, however as soon as a packet of data is sent over mobile data, didn't matter of 3g or 4g the signal is lost and the screen flickers. Sometimes it congress back and sometimes it does not. I am rooted and have tried every Toro kernel or there and cm and pa Roma, nothing seems to help. It also happens in the house hooked to a tv when mobile data is enabled. I have spent time on the phone with vais who says their product is working correctly, which I agree. I have also been up to tier 2 support with Samsung who has no idea and just blames it on the root and Rom once they run out of ideas. I have read of other people having this issue with genetic mhl adapters. But none has been able to resolve it. I have tried genetic and Samsung brand adapters with no luck. I am hoping there is someone out there that has an idea why a data packet would cause the mhl signal to drop, my initial thought was power draw. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the same issue! Yes, 3g data doesn't disturb it, ti's only when I get a text it will make the screen freak out. I'm thinking a overvolt could correct the issue i'm going to try increasing all my voltages by + 200 MV and report back.
edit: I pumped tons of volts to it, it has no effect on the issue
An over volt was my guess too...this sucks. I've thought a lot about it and can't come up with any other ideas. Someone please help....makes me want to take an old Motorola to hook up to the car and leave on Wi-Fi and just tether my gn.
3g does disturb mine but not as much as 4g.

Have you tried going back to 4.1 or even 4.0? Was thinking of trying it...

Same issue with SG Note
I have the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. As soon a data packet is sent screen turns off. I've tried to connect it to my Pioneer Appradio 2, and I tried with two different TV's (HDMI). I even tried my friends Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.
I thought I got a bad MHL, so I bought a original Samsung MHL. There was a tiny instruction in the pack which has a note that states:
Quote: "Any incoming calls or messages will freeze the media output. The media will restart to play after taking the calls or acknowledging the messages."
Could this be part of the problem?
I have the exact same issue, I have a Pioneer Appradio2 with a Galaxy Nexus (Toro) as the dedicated android device for it.
I have tried 3 different MHL adapter (a cheap Chinese one that looks like the official one, the actual official Samsung one and one that has the cables built in - the adapter is at the HDMI plug end with just a male full sized USB for power and micro USB to the phone).
I was hoping the 3rd cable would help thinking that maybe data transmission was causing interference to the adapter and moving the adapter portion to the HDMI plug (at the back of the radio) would help, but it made no difference.
So it seems the interference is internal to the phone, I have ordered a new USB flex cable for the GNex wondering if that will make a difference.
I've under volted, over volted and normal with no difference.
It's definitely data related, for example if I listen to music on Google Play Music that is stored locally on my device I will have almost no problems, but if I stream music from the cloud, it will cut out and flicker between normal, snow and black screen.
So I just grabbed the GNex out of my car and went connected it up to my TV with the official Samsung MHL adapter, same issues (or very similar) watching a trailer on youtube website on mobile data, audio will cut out and screen will go black, if I switch to airplane mode but enable wifi (so it uses wifi for data and not the mobile data connection) I can watch the whole trailer with 0 problems. The only difference is that I don't get the snow, just a black screen and audio cut out with my TV, though I suspect that is probably just how the TV handles the bad/interfered signal. It did seem maybe a little better connected to the TV, but I suspect that BT being off rather than a constant connection helped too.
So for anyone that is interested, I swapped out the USB flex cable (about $7 on ebay) and all my problems have vanished. Just took a 1.5-2 hour drive streaming Pandora the whole way and the GNex connected to my Appradio2 and not a single drop out/black screen/snow storm. I also ran Navigation for about the first 45 mins and it was still perfect, previously it would be constantly dropping out under that scenario. So for anyone else having similar issues try swapping the USB flex cable, cheap and takes about 5 mins.
*Edit:*
Just so those who just joined in this converstation don't get too dragged into it, I've resolved this issue simply by buying what is called a ground loop noise isolator adapter. It's main purpose is to remove the static and whining noise you hear from your speakers when you plug your phone to the car charger while connected to the speakers. But at the same time, it is keeping the signal from the aux cable of your car on "hot" so that when you plug in the phone, the phone immediately picks up the aux signal and stays connected. I basically killed two birds with one stone by getting the adapter. Here is the adapter I purchased:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001EAQTRI
I will make it clear here that this aux connectivity problem has nothing to do with how cheap or expensive your aux cable is. You can use the most expensive cable or the cheapest penny cable out there and if the problem exists between your phone and your car's aux, then it won't resolve it. Either change your car's head unit (which is a stupid thing to do) or simply get the adapter. Don't return the phone over this problem, its just a dumb move. The phone is amazing. LG will have a patch for it or someone will make a ROM that tackles the problem.

Hello all,
was wondering if anyone else with the G3 (not sure if it matters, but I have the 851 variant) is having a hard time getting their phone working with the audio jack coming from their car. I drive a 2007 Scion tC and never had any problem of weird issues connecting any of my previous phones (Moto Atrix 4G, LG Nitro HD, GSIII, Nexus 5 just to name a few) to the audio jack in my car. I'll just plug it in and it connects just fine.
But for some odd reason, the G3 is having tons of issues. When I plug in the audio jack to the phone, I see the audio jack icon pop up up top next to the clock, but then some times it will just disappear on its own. Other times, it will stay there, but when I play a media, may it be music, or video from any app, the sound will play out of the speaker on the phone and not the car speakers. Unplugging it while the media is playing and replugging it again will not change anything, but if I stop the media playback, unplug it and then plug it back in, and the icon reappears and then I tap play immediately, the audio will then come out from the car speakers. Some times I have to do this multiple times to finally get it to work.
The strangest thing is, this does not happen if I plug anything else to the G3, such as a headset or an external speaker or any other devices, only in my car. It even works fine in any other car as far as I know. I've tried different audio cables in my car but it still does the same thing, so it doesn't seem to be the cable.
Is there some kind of sensor in the phone that detects connectivity of the phone to another device? I realize that when I plug in the phone to my car, the car speakers makes a couple of whining noises before it goes quiet, sort of sending or receiving a signal from the phone.
Can anybody please help me? I want to say that the phone is defective, but I can't proof so since it works just fine with any other devices. Could it be the head unit in my car is incompatible with the phone? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks bfranklin, I didn't realize there was another thread about it. Wish all the G3 are under the same group.
I noticed i get some crackling feedback when i hit play on a track.. but then it works fine and even with moving the aux jack it doesn't keep cracking... just on initial play/loading of the music player
I have to plug the cable in very slow or it won't work.

That was my trick initially but eventually even that didn't work. Someone mentioned to try plugging in a charger first and then plug in the aux cable and that worked. But now I bought a ground loop noise isolator and that has resolved the problem completely. I also don't get so much popping noise and no whining noise when I charge the phone while the car is running. Here's what I bought:

If you use low quality Audio cables like Monster sells it will be higher resistance than a quality cable and should register without issue. The phone struggles with discovering the connection.

I'm gonna disagree here bc I'm using a cable from a Wal-Mart discount bin, which is I'm thinking the cheapest kind available, and it doesn't work right.

I was not saying that. If you use Griffen cable at 14 . or monster cable at 20. Or rocketfish at 18. They all work the same. Just not buying that it is a cable issue. Hardware more like it. I actually just order a eBay cable for .99 cents to prove this totally wrong.
This has nothing to do with cables. I literally tried over 6 different cables and nothing worked between my phone and my car's aux port. Yet I used the same cables in my friend's car (old Nissan sentra) that has an aux port and they all worked fine with the phone. Also used a cassette aux adapter kit in my gf's sister's old SUV and it works fine with it.
This is purely hardware compatibility issue. Some head unit's aux port stays hot at all times, others don't. Some probably reacts faster than others and connects immediately so the phone doesn't drop connectivity before engaging. Again, like I've mentioned, you can either circumvent the issue by using the "charge phone first then plug in aux cable" trick, or simply buy a ground loop isolator adapter which keeps the connection hot. LG will fix the problem eventually. It was an annoyance, but a minor one, and i can't be any happier with this phone despite of the connection issue.

EDIT: After 2 days of plugging, plugging back in, updating, trying different pixel 2's, trying different headphones and adapters nothing worked. Tonight I try it again with the same old headphones that didnt work before and as if by magic they started working. Then everything else worked. Google said that it needed to download the USB C audio app internally. I guess it did it in the background finally.
I have access to 3 pixel 2s through my company and a ton of different headphones. None of them will do anything when you plug in headphones using the USB C adapter. I was on tech support chat with google for an hour until they gave up and said to factory reset. They said there is supposed to be a popup when you plug in headphones that cofigures the usb dongle but I get nothing that pops up. Its not a bad dongle because I have 3 fresh and new ones that I have tried with different phones. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have any ideas?

Very weird, my headphones at work played the first time I plugged them in. I have heard of a few problems though, one guy it didn't work the first time, he unplugged then plugged back in and his headphones worked. I hope Google fixes this ASAP. Like bluetooth issues we should not have problems like this with flagship phones.

No problem for me but I did notice that it takes longer than expected for audio to switch from the phone speakers to the headphones. After that it works fine. Sound is good too.
Funny thing about these phones is,my of Pixel XL used basic windows drivers to connect to my PC.
Well really any PC instant connect didn't need drivers.
These phones need ADB updates and Google USB drivers installed.
Windows 10 usually takes care of this
But this headphone issues is phone related. Seems the OS maybe missing a few things it had to call home for.
