Don't take a shower with the phone in the bathroom.. I've had the Car Mode problem happen to me a few times and its annoying.. if you do take a shower and leave phone in bathroom with you keep the window open or something. As to how to fix it. Fix permissions and or clear cache and reboot phone.. Oh yea and sometimes the touch screen will be dead if you shower with phone is bathroom..

I think this may be because the phone is thinking it's connected to a car charger.
Mmm no it doesn't seem to be that. Any more ideas?

Had a phone do this, it was indeed because of a card charger, I never found a way to undo the problem but after a battery pull the problem persisted for a few more calls then went away. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. There is an app in the market where you can toggle between speaker and handset. called settings profile, this may be a workaround for you untill it smooths itself out. Sorry i couldnt be of more help

Out from speaker when headphones connected?

When I plug in the headphones(the one's included) the output comes from the speaker AND headphnes at the same time? I might be a lil tipsy but I can't find in the menu for this....I just wanna hook up my headphones and quietly jam out. But can't!

How did you guys fix this? I tried battery pull and turned on/off but no luck. The headphones quality sounds horrible when this happens. Starting to think it's a hardware issue? Thanks for your help.

All I did was did a battery pull. Left it out for about 10 seconds, then put it back in. I must say the sound quailty is nice(headphones that were included). I came from a moment and sound was low....on here its loud

i had the same issue when i was using Btunes to listen to music. When i went back to the stock app and also doubletwist the issue went away. I thought i was going crazy when i sat my phone down and could still hear music. LOL.

I had the headphones/speaker playing today at the same time as well, it happened when I didn't push the headset in all the way and then backed it out and replugged. It probably botched the software up going in/out/in like that, probably locked the external speaker on.
Yours, on the other hand, sounds like hardware. When the cable gets wonky on my aux wire, I get severe quality issues and I can kind of imagine what you're getting at with yours. Make sure that the plug clicks all the way in, and if the problem keeps happening - hardware it is.

Stuck menu button.

Just noticed that my menu button is stuck semi-pressed in. The bottom end of the button is depressed below the front face. It still functions correctly, but does not click like the other buttons do.
Has anyone else has this problem? I am tempted to try and gently pry it up, but am curious if anyone has come across this on this phone or others.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Never had mine do that but then again I've only had it for 5 days. I would just exchange it myself because you never know if down the road the problem could return or get worse.
I seem to be having this issue as well.
I'm gonna get a eyeglass screwdriver and try prying it up tomorrow night, most likely. Will let everyone know when I am done. I'm hoping it won't be like the G1 trackball from ages past haha

Sorry for double post.
Looks like it unstuck itself... noticed that it was working properly while playing pocket legends. So I will not be taking a mini screwdriver to the button haha. Best of luck to anyone else who has the problem!

how did that happen, i am unlucky coz both home&menu buttons are stuck.
do you think it might be related with water/sweat?

[Q] Alternative Power On Option?

My phone took a swim in some water unfortunately. Everything about the phone works except for one crucial part. The power button is completely unresponsive. It half worked for a short while but now its completely useless. I had to download an app to turn off the screen instead of waiting for it to time out. I also had to download an app to reboot the phone since its good to do every so often. I'm trying to avoid paying the $100 water damage deductable to get it replaced. Problem is if my phone ever has the battery drained I won't be able to turn it back on. I highly doubt it but is there any other way of turning on the phone without the power button working? Or is it just FUBAR???

If you can get into download mode and odin back to stock and pull the plug half way thru and take it back to sprint and say it won't turn on because of some update and play stupid they'll replace the phone because its a software issue ie error on their part therefore must replace it. Also I've heard odin3 has the ability to control hardware controls never used it myself

Because it's a scummy thing to do and borderline fraud.

My recommendation keep a charger close by and start checking the couch cushions every where you go.
Yeah I know anyways try odin3 I've seen a guy with the same problem and he's used that to turn it on.

Bricked or not bricked, they will refer you to asurion regardless if there is signs of liquid corrosion.

I'll get Odin3 and see if that will work. Now if it does, is it impossible to upgrade and install a custom kernel and/or rom now? I'm still on Froyo running genocide kernel and SFR 1.2 rom.
Obviously I can't do anything using the power button.
I had to give in and just pay the deductable. Not having a working power button is just too much of a hassle especially when dealing with rooting and flashing kernals/roms/etc. Thanks for all the help everyone, I appreciate it.
You can manually control/power on ur phone using the ADB method. You'll just have to download and set up the Android SDK

[Q] What happened to my power button?

I was using my phone like any other day, and then I locked my phone and later on went to wake the screen and it wouldn't wake up. I did a "battery pull" (power+volume down) and it rebooted fine. When it came back on, I tried to press the button to lock the screen but to no avail. I went on and got smart screen on and it works okay but I'd like to know if any of you know what's wrong with it. It feels fine, clicks like normal. I haven't dropped it recently or anything. But sometimes, when I barely touch the power button, the power menu opens. I don't really understand that but if any of you have any help for me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Kinda sounds like a hardware issue maybe some pocket lint or something wiggled it's way in there... Take it apart and have a look..you would be surprised as to what can work it's way in there

Just suddenly began working the next day. I don't exactly know why... Maybe an app or something had it confused. I really don't know.
