I recently did a clean wipe and install of Owain's ROM, but the only real issue I'm having now is that it keeps flipping in and out of car mode for no apparent reason. Is there a way to disable completely or at least understand why it keeps coming on?
You should be able to uninstall car mode completely. I think you can use root explorer

I used titanium backup to remove it.

You've got a magnet in your case?

Yup, got a magnet in the case. That's weird, didn't know that would make it turn on. I'm going to try and remove it if I can since I never use it anyway.
Thanks guys!
Well, I tried Titanium Backup, and I can't find the Car Mode app anywhere to uninstall. Am I missing something?
it should be in there... it always comes up for me when i flash a new rom and want to uninstall it.
Hi,
I've had this problem before too.
for some REASON, YOU CANT UNINSTALL IT.
You can't uninstall through titanium. (freezing doesnt help)
You can't uninstall through apps.
You can't unnstall through root explorer.
It ALWAYS comes back.
I dont know how all these guys are uninstalling, but it JUST DOES NOT WORK (at least for me, and looks like for you.)
So what I have is an app called DISABLECARHOME, and it seems to work (kind of). I sometime still get the 180 degree orientation and call speaker default when I answer calls.
Next time, I'm going to just take out the carhome.apk from the GAPPS when I install a new ROM/gapps.

It is called Car Home. It can be uninstalled with Titanium Backup, as I have done it on my G2x. You may need the Pro version though.

Yes, I've done it on Titanium.
I've also removed the physical APK via root explorer.
I've also feezed the package through terminal.
IT DOESNT WORK.
It still comes back. I'm not going to argue with you, but I still get the "touch to disable carhome" in the notification bar sometimes.
Also, I know its still there as I get the 180degree rotation, and default speaker when I answer calls.
So annoying.... DISABLECARHOME seems to be the only thing that semi-works for me.
PS: After you "think" you uninstalled it, try getting a magnet and wand it near the camera glass on the left/right. The screen will light up and you will see a carhome logo on the top notificaiton bar... surprise!

I can't confirm what you are saying. I deleted Car Home in Titanium Backup (it was listed twice and I deleted both listings) and tried using a magnet all over my phone. No Car Home popped up at all.
Are you running ICS and if so which rom? I can replicate what h22aboi is saying exactly, so now I'm curious if it is an owain specific thing or is it something with ICS as a whole.

Knights,
I'm running Eaglesblood ginger.
Same thing happened on weapon ginger as well.
I think the only thing I can do it take out carhome/launcher apk from the gapps when I install a new ROM.
I'm going with HFP soon and I'll let u know if that works....
(AndrewNY, I'm not sure if it's just my phone or not, but I've tried EVERYTHING.. trust me)

I'm running burom (based on the stock 21Y), 2.3.4.
Sorry for bumping an old thread but...
For those of you who can't for whatever reason remove CARHOME app launching.... (myself included)
Reinstall a fresh ROM (after wiping everything), and when it comes time to install GAPPS, open the ZIP beforehand and delete the CARHOME and CARHOME LAUNCHER app in the zip folder. It should be under System/apps or something like that. Then flash the GAPPS.
I just upgraded to EB 2.8 (2.3.7) and wiped everything and installed the modified GAPPS.
I have had no ill effects of magnet turning on screen, carhome launching, speaker phone on during call answer, etc, etc....
I have seen countless questions asked about CARHOME and everytime, someone chimes in saying all they have to do is uninstall through (insert file manager/app manager here), but that NEVER seems to solve the problem.
Hopefully, this helps some people out.
This app: Ultimate Rotation Control
has now claimed a second victim. A long time ago, I installed URC on my Motorola Atrix, as a way to force screen rotation in certain apps. Once I uninstalled URC, my Atrix could no longer use the system's auto rotate feature, until I completely wiped it and installed a new ROM.
Well I was hoping that it was just a fluke, a one-time incompatibility with the Atrix. Because I needed it on my new phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3, because it was the only way to get Tasker to rotate my screen.
Well sure enough, the moment I uninstalled it from my S3, I could no longer use the system's built-in auto rotate feature, AGAIN.
I have tried rebooting, reinstalling the app, uninstalling the app with different settings (like uninstalling it while in force-rotate mode), toggling system rotate in different conditions... NOTHING I've tried gets it working again!
I've contacted the developer, but in the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions to get my phone's auto-rotate working again? Perhaps there's some hidden system file that URC messed with, that I can go edit to fix all of this? I really don't want to have to do a factory reset again!

Flash your ROM again. If your phone isnt unlocked then... i dont know.

Flash what ROM? I'm running stock, rooted. My phone is unlocked.
But of course wiping the entire phone would fix it. I'm asking if there is any way to fix it without wiping everything.
Right now it seems like the only way I can get it working is to have the app installed and running at all times. Strange that I'm the only reviewer that has noticed this behaviour, maybe no one else has ever tried to uninstall it before?
Alright so, I haven't the slightest clue what caused this problem. I just happened to have rebooted my phone into bootloader mode as a way to ensure something I did didn't get transmitted when I re-enabled my Wifi which I happened to have disabled before rebooting and then re-enabled afterwards.
Anyways after I press reboot from the HBOOT menu, when my phone booted up the motion gestures would not work and I had an AOSP lockscreen...(take note im running ViperROM 1.8.0 on 4.4.3 firmware) oddly enough this isn't even enabled in the Viper Tweaks or any other tweaking apps I have. Soo why do I all of a sudden have these? It's as if I'm on an AOSP ROM but with Sense and a non Sense kernel? Even though NOTHING has changed today?? I haven't even been on my phone hardly at all besides that...
Why and how would I fix it?
Edit: Ok the tap to wake and swipe to wake actually work but double tap to turn screen back off is blocked because of the way the AOSP lockscreen functions. Swipe to shut screen off still works too. I just can't figure out how to remove this lockscreen

The thing is..I already have that for some odd reason? It's right here and I never had this before either, it just randomly appeared and wanted me to update it a few days back. Strangely enough it was right after I downgraded back from 2.4.0 Viper ROM to 1.8.0 with a Nandroid. Should I just restore the Nandroid again*? it's literally exactly the same as this, I was gonna do it last night but it was far too late and I was tired.

Try uninstalling that app via titabackup then go to play store an redownload it an reboot. If that don't work yeah I would definitely restore back up. But this solved my issue an it sounds like same as yours. Crazy tho huh?

I did just what I told you to do an it came back an stayed. You would think if it worked for me it work for you u know. Hope your backup is alright. I like the fact HTC is dropping apps in play store so the don't have to wait on carrier to push ota to update a few things. But they should male sure it works rt..if you read all the reviews in playsotre bout this app. Not good at all some stock an locked users r in a bootloop from this updating an their only choice was factory reset. Not good

Well I figured out the problem. When I restored it it was indeed solved or so I thought but I noticed the update was still available in the Play Store so I decided to back the original HTC LS in Titanium Backup and update to it. After having updated and rebooting I ended up with the AOSP lockscreen again, restoring the app in Titanium and rebooting again resulted in getting the original back.
Perhaps they intended this? Maybe it's their new lockscreen just with some faults, one being double tap to sleep doesn't work?

I use greenify to put my device to sleep. Works great just slide up from bottom of phone line you were going to use google search as I don't have that installed so greenify puts phone to sleep I like it.
Anyone else have a screen flicker before phone times out into sleep mode? When the screen is already dark, there's a multi-colored box in the bottom quarter. WTF?

Negative. Sounds like sometime is buggy in the fw, or possibly damaged screen/flex cable thats capturing raw data instead of the signal being sent to it. I work in a cell repair shop, and it's quite amusing when iphones do it.
Have you tried booting into safemode and seeing if it still does it?

My first guest was something funky in the FW as well. I have a fresh clean backup of the OS, and will try flashing that tomorrow. The display has been replaced, and the cable definitely attached securely. I'll save the safe mode option to last.

Just out of curiosity why would you revert to a backed up OS before trying safe mode when it's as simple as a couple button clicks and easily restored to default boot-up. Time to safe-boot, test, and restart would probably be shorter than time spent to revert to an older backup, but your call there captain. Hope it's just a FW issue, should keep me the thread up to date if you do find a solution though

I guess I knew a lot less about safe mode and I thought. Could this be something to deal with the dream state option of this phone sleep mode? I'll probably give safe mode a try when I get home.
Ok, in safemode, MotoLauncher was in perpetual FC action, I couldn't do anything. I've recently noticed that some settings in Lux auto brightness were changed. Put it back into normal mode, flashed a clean, fresh backup of the OS. All seems fine, now.

Oh well I'm glad you figured it out. The default launcher shouldn't FC anyways, especially under safe-mode, but it's an easy way to figure out that a faulty OS may be the cause.

As a follow up, the (red) flicker does come back after a short while. I have suspicions because I noticed with sub-zero Lux settings, it happens, and with dialing it up past zero things calm down, but not 100%. Yeah, I was shocked about the stock launcher perpetually FCing. I haven't checked it with a wholly clean re-install of the system only...project for a rainy day. I did check it after making the stock launcher the launcher of choice, still FCing.

Hello!!
I have an issue with my Mate8, I really don't know if this is in all phones or just in mine....
It's when a song or a video is playing, and when the power button is pressed to lock the phone, the audio breaks for like half a second, but if you press the button again to unlock, it do it again, and everytime you press the lock button.... it kinda annoys me a lot.
The rare is that this only happens when the audio is coming from the speakers; when i have anything plugged in (headphones or whatever) it dissapear, and with bluetooth headphones dissapears too.
It happens with all apps, spotify, native app, soundcloud, vlc, poweramp...etc
Thanks a lot!!
Best regards, Elías.

I did have this problem previously after flashing a pre-rooted rom of version B320, but it went away after I flashed the stock rom back.
Since you haven't mentioned anything about custom roms and/or rooting, I'm going to assume you're on a stock rom at the moment, in which case I'd suggest a factory reset (backup data 1st of course)
If you're running a customized rom I'd suggest discussing it in whichever thread you got that rom from as the issue may be specific to that rom

I'm on B320 and this happens to me too! Please come back and tell us if it disappeared after a factory reset because I might do one as well.

SOLVED!
It appears to be some setting in Nova launcher that caused this, i have to install/uninstall a lot to get into this, but 100% sure is some setting in nova, just did a clean reset of the phone and everything superb! reinstalled nova but this time, trying not to modify a lot like before and it's working perfectly.
