the only way u can see that issue is software related is to install a diff kernel, which in turn will void ur warranty.
hence the ideal thing is to visit a nearest Samsung service center, as ur handset is still under warranty
do not mess around with things, so that later ON u repent with

I have this problem before...
I solve this by plugging in my ear phone then unplug it... simple
Maybe you should try this method before wiping your phone :fingers-crossed:

Thats the first thing i did before restart even.
I have done with the factory rest still it does not work so mighth be th hardware problem.
Tomorrow i will b going to SC.

SC replaced the speaker and its working fine...
The reason he said is that the connection points on speaker are damaged it seems. Not much info other than this.

Galaxy s2 ,, opening driving mode,voice talk auto (Help)

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 ..

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.

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.

[Q] Need help please

Hello friends of xda. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2. Phone was perfect till today. I don't know why but the phone messed up today. It opens the voice control automatically, reacts as if it was connected to an usb ,even if its not. Tried to flash with odin but after 10min of normality the problem persists again. I took perfect care of my phone.Never felt from my hands or got wet with water.
Please somebodz help as i don't know what to do.
Thanks and keep the good work going
cheers friend
i guess you could always go into settings and see if you could disable it.Try a factory re-set.If all else fails then root your phone and freeze or delete the app with titaniun so it wont work anymore.

Ok, Im going to assume you have tried other kernels/roms wipe data/factory reset and have same problem.
In this case there is no magic words to repair hardware. You need to send it away to get fixed/replaced,simple as that.

How 'bout you try using SE update service? Whenever I bricked my phone without a solution, reflashed with seus and everything worked. Of course, I cannot for sure say that it'll work, but give it a try.

Please press thanks if I helped .

Hey man hi , about that i already tried using SE today and nothing changed . Anyway if anyone can respond is there something like driver for sound in these android which comes with software . It seems i will have to take it to the service.
this is funny because i just left my phone today for repair due to the external speaker, i was watching a youtube video and the speaker went crazy and then silent (the battery was very hot as well)... I tryed to flash the original firmware just to make sure it was not a custom rom bug or error but nothing changed...the speaker was dead... So for me the only solution was to take it for repair, lucky for me it was still in warranty. if your's is in warranty as well, better put the original firmware again and take it for repair as well, it will almost for sure be the speaker that died...

Big problem with playing sound after factory reset

Hi,
Few days ago, I have done factory reset(becouse of lot of apps). And then it started. When I play any sound from headphones or built reproductor I can hear it good for few seconds but after a while I cant hear anything. Because of noise. That noise stops after few seconds when i stop playing sound.According to noise in built reproduktor I thing it will be SW problem. I tried more factory resets...but nothing helped.
Edit: I tried to watch something on YT so I have connected my headphones and my phone just restarted after a few seconds watching a video. Sound was turned off and noise was there still.
Sorry for my bad English.

Same on my device. It's a hardware problem because it is reproduced on miui, cm, stock roms with or w/o sound mods... ;(
How to solve it ?? any idea
get in download mode to reflash the rom
The board need to be replaced. Go to the LG service center and ask for help. I have changed it once without telling the unlocked bootloader. They replaced a new locked bootloader board for me. Good luck:good:
So i did. On friday i will have some news about my device. The noise was so loud that it woke up my wife late night
I just got back my device from LG Service. They repaired mainboard (?) and replaced a ribbon(??). and ofc locked my bootloader <), But there is no annoying noise!
There is no noise on headphones/speaker/loudspeaker and no noise on callers device... i guess this was not the first device on LG Service

Most likely , they did not change the board , only fresh the firmware
Lg's service is horrible , they are always lying
Do a recovery update from the lg mobile support tool on your pc. This will wipe everything, but re install the os, potentially fixing the problem.
