Hi Guys...
I have samsung galaxy s2 .. i love it .. but since 1 week the phone is acting crazy .. and i did everything i know to solve that crazy thing
but it's not working at all
when i start the phone .. its fine .. but after a while like 1 minute .. driving mode enables its self Automatically .. and the voice talk comes on the screen ..!!
i tried to disable it .. but it comes on again and again .. and phone sometimes says that the USB is plugged on and charging .. when it's already not !! .. and sometimes it says that im plugging AC on the usb port .. when i plug it on my pc !!and the auto rotate for the screen is allways enabled .. even it was disabled on the settings!! .. and when i set the powr off .. it runs again by it self!
i tried to wipe data to factory,wipe cache, changed the Kernil , even change the whole rom to other roms .. but the problem is still comming ..!
Please help and i'll be thankfull
i love the phone and i dont wanna lose it
im waiting for help
It's possible that it's a software problem, but I strongly suspect this is a hardware issue. Sorry to say that RTM may be the only answer!

Like I said, you can't rule out a software issue, but it sounds more likely that there's a physical problem with the USB port and it's making the phone think it's in car mode every now and then. If it were a software issue then I think we'd see a LOT more people with the issue. When you think about how many SGS2 users there are on XDA, and compare that to the number of people who have had this issue you'll see that it's a tiny number really. That definitely sounds more like a manufacturing issue than a software one.

i agree with you actually .. it seems like a hardware problem .. not a software one cuz i literally changed everything on the device .. kernel,rom everything .. but hardware !
let's wish that it's a software problem even if we were 99% sure that it's a hardwore issue ...
thanks again ..

Absolutely! I wish you luck mate.
i restored the orginal rom,kernel

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S2. It started like a week ago or something. I tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest, but it seemed like that only made it worse. I haven't rooted my phone, so I'm obviously using the stock rom. Any tips to what I should try to do? It's a really annoying problem.

Car mode is triggered by a certain resistance value between pin 4 and 5 on micro usb plug, either dirt, oil, sweat on exterior part of it (most likely) or some condensation/oil on the inner part- where it's soldered to the the mainboard.
My advice would be to take out the battery and try to clean it with small brush, contact spray ( make sure it dries out before attaching the battery)....or go to a phone repair center to have the plug cleaned...
it should do the trick
I tried cleaning it with contact spray but it didn't work. Haven't tried using a small brush yet, cause I haven't got one. Any other suggestions or should I just explain the problem to Samsung and send it in?
Edit: Nevermind. I noticed that car mode wasn't popping up later in the evening. I restarted my phone and now it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks for the help!
I have the same problem everytime i use the car charger...but restarting the phone solves this problem atleast till I plug in the car charger.
Same for me. It really bugs me. I'm thinking of RMA.
the problem still on my phone .. i changed everything on my phone .. seems like it's a hardware problem with some devices .. like mine and yours
and i hardly think that we can solve it by our selves .. we need to send it back to samsung and see what they say!

In your 'Voice Talk' settings, under 'Wake Up Command', you may have 'Wake up command & 'Only on while charging' ticked.
I have the exact same problem, does anyone have a definite solution yet?
Me too have the same issue. it starts up while using the wall charger and even if unplug charger it pops up sometimes and my home screen lights up and remain ON causing battery drain. don't know any fix for this yet. can anyone please advise....
thanks
I've had this too when I spilled coke on my table, I think some droplets went on the usb port of my SGS2 that was also on the table.
Same issues happened: Car mode automatically starts, Phone hangs, etc. I've read car mode is triggered when certain resistance in the usb port is met(Just like the 301k for the download mode).
What I did was, I turned of the phone, removed the battery, then inserted a wet/moistened(NOT DRIPPING, water only) cotton on the phone's usb port. Compress the cotton with your finger first so that excess water will come out + the cotton wont have dangling strands. Remove/reinsert cotton until satisfied.
Be sure to let the port dry first before powering it up again.
Vocie talk problem, usb problem

Hi all, I have the same problem with voice talk - driving mode enables its self and sometimes it says I´m plugged with USB port and phone is charging.
I have had also problem with AUTO START. I´ve switched phone off, and it automatically start on!!
I´ve tried factory reset, disk formatting - 4-5 times, no applications yet and again the same problem with voice talk.
This problem started 2days ago, after one week use.
I have XWKE7 (2.3.3), no root, original from Orange SK and I don´t know what to do now, whether to go to Orange and reclaim.
thanks for suggestions.

I freeze Voice Command app with Titanium Backup.

hello everyone
my proximty sensor always turn on after few minutes of booting (turns red),
i dont know why i'm facing so much sensors problems, first was gyro sensor
and accelerometer in my first phone, now proximty sensor in this phone.
please tell me it is a problem, because when i returned my first device,
they replaced it with gt-i9100G, and i9100 is out of stock, so i may get lucky for
once in my life and get the device i want
thanks in advance.
Same with my i9100g..i dont know what to do with it?
for those who have gt-i9100G, please tell if you have the same problem or not
because all i9100G model may have this problem.
thanks.
Do you have a screen protector covering the sensor?
Yup it is covered with the gard I'll remove n try?
removing the screen gard did not help..,
it has 2.3.4.. will 2.3.5 help?

maybe it will....
i remember that i saw one with 2.3.5 that does not have this problem,
the problem is; the rom with 2.3.5 is for a specific region, so it might not work in your device,
additional informations:
i dont have anything attached to my phone, i did a factory reset to the phone
and there is no apps/games installed.
please confirm that you have this problem or not (please mention your android version)
thanks.

hey santacruzdz
what model of galaxy s ii do you have? i9100 or another one?
i was talking about the i9100G
i always check if my phone has some issues before flashing to unoffical/custom
roms becuase they void your warranty
hope you can solve it

this is MY OWN video...
thanks for letting me know I'm not alone....
i sent it to the service center... the "smart" man there said it was a software issue, to which i did not agree...
we had a small quarrel then he took it and sad they'll troubleshoot it...
one week later i called they said it was ready
so i went to get it. and surprisingly enough, they HARD BRICKED IT !!!! :cyclops:
HOW IDIOTIC IS THAT ???
the man said they found out it was a touchscreen issue and replaced the touchscreen (which i believe is a total BS because the touchscreen WORKS even though i don't see what i'm doing but the screen accepts my touches as orders)
so he turned the phone ON and the sony ericsson logo came up, dimmed then bright, then it's supposed to dim again, right ???
NO , it stayed bright and phone wouldn't go past this step
he tried several times with no luck, so he had to take it back to try to fix it again but i think they will eventually replace the phone because they don't seem to KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING !!!
sorry to hear this .
I called service and they said they can return old andoid.factory.so it will not be ICS anymore but it will work.
God deal to me
I will let you know results

i went to them to get it after they restored old GB firmware.
the phone would not even start...
i believe they bricked it, because today i called to ask if it was fixed yet, and they said, no, it was sent to their main center in Alexandria.
which sounds like i'm getting a new phone !!

i tried this but it remained...
you either had a different issue or you just have to get your phone HOT enough to make it reappear
going tomorrow to get it from teh service center
i believe it won't be fixed...
just as i thought
they did NOT fix it,
but they REPLACED IT with a new device... i knew because 1st thing i did was check *#06# and found a different Serial Number
they told me they replaced he motherboard
after clarification, they meant they replaced THE WHOLE phone except the battery and bckcover
me too this happend to me too but i figured out i was using a bad mod for my ray and the problem dissapeard
i had no MODS
i had original STOCK GB .42 updated to .62 then to ICS .562 then to ICS .431
Hmm Reflash Firmware>? maybe it could work or try freeing up ram
Very similar to a problem I had: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvTFg2J0L4o
The blackout would happen as well as flickering. Not only that, but a weird clicking noise could be heard near the USB port, and the sound did not work at all. I sent it back and got a new one.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there is a fix. Flashing a new ROM will not solve the problem. It's a hardware issue. Only way to fix it is to send for repair or replacement. I tried everything when it happened to me and nothing worked.

Recently my s3 has been having a wierd issue with the auto focus regards to close pctures i take with the stock camera app.
Originaly i thought it was due to omega rom.
but i have now flashed a stock rom and the same problem is occuring.
I have compared it with a friends s3 and his works perfectly as mine used to.
do not know what the problem could be
i bought the phone from Ebay brand new about a week after the phone was released.
how can i get a new handset or this repaired, how long will it take
can anyone shed any light on the situation, really frustrated as i finally found a rom and setup i was happy with (battery life etc was finally perfect and than this hardware problem )
don't think anyones gonna help me on this one seeing as i'm the only one with the problem
im having problems with my camera too mate, mines is stuttering and not focusing properly. used triangle away to reset the custom binary count to 0, Ive downloaded the off voda uk fw and im gona flash that now via odin. i bought my fone from a mate who had an upgrade but i was still able to register the phone with samsung.co.uk. Have a repair set up and all, just have to post it to the servcie centre now. Hopefully all goes well.

I have had this issue using Energy and ARHD. Tried different batteries and kernels, new batteries helped a bit. Tried several clean installs without resolution. Please let me know if you found a solution.
You've probably managed to somehow burn/damage your motherboard. Happened to my deisre a few weeks ago. Fetched a good price for outdated burnt phone
