OMG the 3.5mm jack is buggy

So i've managed to crash my phone about every time I've plugged anything into my 3.5 jack. Something weird always happens, voice dialer goes crazy, had my SD card corrupt once, had my phone app lockup for 5 minutes then crash... anyone else get weird behavior when pluging stuff in>

Something is definitely up with that phone.

Man I had the same problem when I first got it. (june 4th) until I did that last system update, I think, or it just went away just kept plugging in the jack but it made my blood boil, so I know u feel.

Computer not recognizing epic

Anyone else this problem? Rooted my epic with the all-in-one method a week ago, worked flawlessly. Today when I plugged my phone to my laptop (the same one used to perform the root) it did not ask the 3 options (charge, mass storage, or tether). Turned on debugging again, and no orange triangle on my notification bar. I have connected to my computer several times sinced the root and it all worked until this time. Seems as if lost my drivers somehow but I never did anything to do that. Any suggestions?

Try rebooting the phone while plugged in. I have to do that in my Mac, and I'm running a custom rom, but it doesn't hurt to try it.

Try a different usb cable. The stock cable is **** and my pc would never see my phone using it. This is a common problem. Monoprice has them super cheap if you don't have an extra to try.
Even if the stock cable worked once it can be flacky. The other thing is make sure you use the usb ports on the back of the pc.

[Q] having problem with phone screen when charging

ROM - Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Dec.20.7z
ANDROID BUILD - NexusHD2-FRG83D_V1.8_(Froyo 2.2.1).7z
RADIO - 2.10.50.26
I have a problem, my phone is working absolutly beautiful exept for one BIG problem, when i connect my phone to de AC the screen gets disturb, gets all twisty and just like loosing signal in an old Tv; scrambled, and it zooms in and you cant do nothing with it; i have to soft reset to WM; THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN ANDROID;
IT STARTS WHEN I CONNECT MY PHONE TO CHARGE; WHEN I DISCONNECT IT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT GO IMMEDIATELY; i will like to fix this problem with this build because i really like it; if you havent tried it you should !

Try a different charger. You might not have a constant charge which freaks out yourphone.

alright; im booting android now to try another charger;

The charger is not causing the problem. The problem is only with android. I have notice that the phone charges and works via USB charging.

at least recommend me a good android build to try out; please.

tried with another android build ( MDJ Revolution HD) and the problem still persist; another observation is that the problem occurs with USB charging too;but only from my PC; with my MAC is charging and works good; EDIT: ISNT WORKING WITH MAC NEITHER! im going to change ROM and see what happens;
----------
MDJ Revolution HD lets you connect you PS3 by wifi Tether with stock ROM the PS3 didnt recognize the network; thats cool

well; i flashed another ROM (Energy.Leo.28244.Titanium.Dec.21) and still having the problem; if it makes it easier i can make a video to show you guys the problem; and i would like to know whats the best ROM for running Android?
-----------------
Another observation is that it does it when its no charging but not as bad; when not charging i just tuch and scroll the menus and that prevents the scrambling and zooming of the screen; Another observation is that when i plugged in fast to AC it gets scrambled; when i insert the plug slowly something called USB debugging turns on and it doent get scrambled rapidly; but in the morning it was all scrambled again.

Another observation; i captured a photo of the screen using an app from the phone; and the photos werent scrambled; im beggining to think that is a hardware problem but i dont know because it only happens in Android maybe a some resolution problem that makes the phone react like this?
Another observation is that it happens too without being connected but very little scrambling;
im going to hard reset my phone and format my SD card;

Hard reset; New ROM; Full formatting the SD card; and the problem still persist. Now it does it when the phone goes to sleep; charging or not; it does it anyway now.

i have updated the Radio to 2.12.50 and still have the problem, i know that theres no interaction with the radio and the screen; but i want to try everything.

come on ! theres a lot of geniuses here ! somebody most know whats wrong;
another observation; it a lot better with the brightness set to 100%. but i cant run with this because im always using my phone; so my battery will drain in less than 5 hours. it get scrambled when i connect it to any source of electricity;

Now runnign NAND and the problem still persist.

Car Mode!!

My phone keeps deciding to go into car mode of its own accord!
This is both on MIUI and LeeDrOiD.
The phone also automatically goes into speaker phone mode whenever I make or receive a call.
Is there any way to disable car mode, or is there a hardware problem with my phone?
Cheers

I'm having the same problem, if you go into setting, car dock, you can uncheck "auto launch car dock" or something similar. It will stop it from entering car mode, but it will still default the speaker to on.
Delivered mine back at the shop today, they hadn't seen it before, but guessed it was a HW problem.

Just changed to AlienMinds CM7 and the problem has disappeared. Hopefully if I go back to sense it will stay fixed!

Mine does the samething doesnt matter what rom i use...sense, cm7 based they do the same thing. I know im in the wrong phone section since i have a g2(vision). But it was the only thread that had to do with my problem. Plz and thanks in advance.

There is no setting to turn off automatic car dock launch

Yeah it reared its ugly head after a reboot. I'm guessing it's a hardware problem

I don't what happen but it went away for me but I thinks it hardware related also.

I'm not too sure about why it keeps shifting to Car Mode, but as far as the activation of the speaker every time you get a call, all I can say is that, that's what it supposed to do anyway when in Car Mode.
If, for any reason, you had that problem even when your DHD was not in car mode, my guess would be that there's something up with either your gyroscope or with your proximity sensor.

I killed Car Mode and got away with it
Car Mode would pop up constantly on my HTC Incredible 2. It had nothing to do with the usb. Most times, the phone wasn't even plugged it and Car Mode would still pop up and Yes, I could click on it and disable it. For about 5 secs, then it was back. The worst part was that it would force-close the program that I was in to launch. It took me about 8 hours of research. Car Mode is a system app, and therefore can not be removed like other applications. You have to root your phone then delete, freeze or rename. Ok by me, but rooting apparently isn't stable yet for the Incredible 2 if you have a later os version than 2.2. Guess what? I have 2.3. No problem, how do i revert. Oh, i find out, you can't without resetting the phone to factory, which by the way is what verizon support suggested. I thought not before I back up, but lo and behold you can't back up more than contacts and pics without rooting. Arrrrgh! Next, I looked for an app to help me battle this devil Car Mode, so I tried apps from Amazon and market:
Advanced task killer Free
Astro
Gemini App Manager
Dock Nothingness
Dock no-op
Disable car home
and NONE of them worked, at least not for the Incredible 2.
I had a new idea, if you can't beat them, join them so I installed the latest version of Car Dock Home, hoping that at least it would give the option to not launch. Nope, didn't work. Luckily, I'm good at my job just because I don't give me 'easily'. Anyway, finally on my 14th try, I used 'DockNothing Free' from Amazon. At first, I didn't think this worked either. There was no input screen or settings but that's because the app doesn't initiate until the Car Mode launches, then it allows you to choose to select DockNothing as the default program. I had to do that 3 times: 1) Car Panel 2)Car Dock 3)Home Dock. Now I actually see a little popup that says 3 tasks killed. YEA!
Sorry for the long post, but I'll bet if you're here, you are going crazy because of Car Mode. And I read a lot more than just this much to get mine fixed.
ps. Car Mode actually looks pretty neat and seems useful IN THE CAR. But I have been too afraid to release the monster to check it out. I might at the next update. Might....

Well, got mine back.. they had only done a factory reset and an update, and now the problem is gone. So I guess atleast for my case it was software related..
The funny thing is, I did a factory reset, and had the latest update before I delivered mine for service.

have the same issue with my dhd.
in many geman forums you find the hint that is has something to do with a broken micro-usb and the dhd can't reognize if its plugged in to a dock, or not.
If i plug in a sumple usb-charging-cable neither the car dock starts nor the loudspeaker would turn up.
i took a good look on my micro usb slot and couln't find anything strange.
Anyway, i cleaned it up very well and removed any little fuzz i found.
But i still have this issue.
has anyone an idea how the dhd recognizes if its plugged to an dock or an charging cable???
thats seems to be the key to the Problem

Possible soultion

maybe a possible solution, but as you mentioned i'm afraid to make it even worst.
so, as long as i have guarantee on it i think i bring it to a dealer to send it back to HTC, maybe i'll get a brand new phone, though it ****s me up to have it wiped after that.

PC USB Connection issue

Hi everyone
Recently I've been having problems with the USB connection.
I was on the stock rooted ROM, and I plugged in the phone and it came up with a message USB device not recognised because it malfunctioned. Tried different ports, cables and different computers, same thing.
Then I changed this morning to the Nexus 5 experience ROM. It worked initially. Now the problem has come back. However occasionally it does work and the windows explorer window pops up, but then after a second or two it goes away and the error message reappears.
What could be causing this?
It was fine a while ago.
Also, when it doesnt work, the battery settings thinks its charging on AC and not USB.

Sounds like it's a hardware issue

Hmm, its likely but could a hardware issue suddenly present itself with no apparent cause?

Absolutely, it worked for a little while and then didn't. Try flashing the factory image and see if it's still there. I don't think it's a software issue
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

OK I will try that.
The only new thing I've been using with it is a new car charger. It works perfectly fine, but if it was giving slightly too much or too little voltage could it have caused this?

I doubt it. There's built in circuitry that would take care of voltage or current fluctuations

Just a quick update. I smashed the screen a few weeks ago so I had to replace it. When I finished replacing the screen this also started working lol dunno what happened there.
