has anyone else experienced this?
i tried disabling and re-enabling, as well as rebooting.. nothing..
anyone know of anything would cause this...?!

is it possible that one time you chose it to default to a certian format?

Yea I would guess you need to clear your defaults. Go into Managing Applications and just choose which ever is popping up when you pull out the kickstand (my guess is that would be "Home" under the [All] tab) then clear defaults.
I seem to recall having a similar issue after selecting a default do nothing action. So I think there is something to that.
Hi,
I have a question about the dock.
When I plug the phone into it, the Samsung Home app gets launched. If I uninstall it, tuneIn gets launched.
Is there a way to set up the phone so no application is launched and it just goes to the Home screen?
I have tried clearing the defaults for tuneIn but it has none.
Thanks.
Try going to Manage Applications, Tunein, and clear data. Then dock, and it should ask what you want to launch. I don't see any way to NOT select something if you've got TuneIn loaded, though (I just tried it). I'd contact their support if clear data doesn't help.
FYI my alarm clock app does the same thing (Kaloer Clock) - their option to disable it doesn't seem to work on the i777, but I just hit home when it launches and deal with it 'cause I like it to much

I'll give it a shot tonight and see if it helps. The weird thing is that Clear defaults is disabled for TuneIn.
Thanks.
I had the same problem with TuneIn as OP. I think it is a bug in TuneIn.
A solution that worked for me was to install Dock No-Op. You can find it here.
Well, clearing data for TuneIn did not work but the No-Op did.
Funny to see a bunch of apps in the market like that one that do nothing
Now the strange problem I'm having is that ADW is going to a page to the right from my default when I drop it in the dock. Oh, well, that I can live with.
Thanks for the help guys.
I'm on CM7 and nothing launches. And it won't charge through the dock. Any idea why?
I'm not really sue. I am waiting for CM9 for my phone.
I use CM7 on my tablet and it charges fine with it's dock.
I hate to suggest this but can you try with a different ROM or phone to check if the dock is not the problem.

Alrighty, thanks for responding
whenever I mount the phone to my car dock, S Voice comes on first! When it wasn't working on my Skyrocket, I just froze it and said screw this thing, but now that it works just fine on the SIII, every time I mount it to the car dock, I have to close out of it first before I can get Music up and running.... is there a work around for this to prevent it from coming on when mounted to the car dock I haven't thought of yet?
I quit using Tasker, it got to be too damn much on the phone, so I just use A2DP Volume to automate the connection - when I connect my car dock, it loads Music and adjusts BT volume for me, but it won't close an app on connection.... How can you prevent S Voice from coming up in the first place?
EDIT - I found these steps for turning off Voice Talk, the older version of Google's Voice Commands, and I'm going to give this a try. The motion part isn't applicable though, I think....
Try turning off DOUBLE TAP under Voice Talk settings.
Click on and bring up Voice Talk, then hit the bottom left button and click SETTINGS.
On the SETTINGS page, scroll down to the VOICE TALK section and click VOICE TALK SETTINGS.
On the next page, click on MOTION.
Next page, under MOTION ACTIVATION SERVICES, uncheck DOUBLE TAP.

WORKAROUNDS - We now have two workarounds to solve this problem.... Here they are:
If you like S Voice and just want to prevent it from starting up when car docked, use the Dock Nothingness app and select it by default the next time you car dock
If you don't like S Voice and want to block it completely, just freeze it with Titanium Backup and it won't run at all (PRO key must be installed for you to freeze and defrost apps)
Did you get anywhere with this problem - I'm in the same boat. What I'd really like is the old default car home to launch, but not getting s-voice (useless in my little convertible!) would be a great start!

Nope, but I think your issue would be easier to overcome since you can just download Car Home Ultra or something similar, I don't want any car home to launch at all, just the A2DP Volume app which will launch Google Music for me....
I have everything set like they said on the S Voice settings page, so it doesn't activate with a double tap home input, but it still comes up! Now that I have Tasker running as well, it asks if I want to use S Voice or Tasker, or either of them by default, and I don't want any of them, really! If I say Tasker, I believe it will do nothing, but that might interfere with A2DP Volume, and then I have to set Tasker to run A2DP Volume when it is car docked..... that's straight up going around in circles now!!!
I have the same problem... please fix! I do not like S Voice...

Nothing I can do about it, I'm definitely not a dev....
I selected Tasker by default when car docked and it seems to work just fine right now, I don't have any task set when the car is docked, but at least it recognizes Tasker will take priority when car docked instead of S Voice! That's the best work around I know of so far....
Sorry if I'm mentioning the obvious, but if you go into s voice in the applications manager is anything set in its 'launch by default' section? I don't have anything in there now, but that may be because I set my car-launcher as default on docking. I don't know if 'on dock' was in there before.

That's a good thought, but no, there are no defaults set on my phone either under that setting - it was worth a look though! I'm sure it's got to be something as easy as that though....

If you are rooted, why don't you just freeze svoice? I didn't like it so I froze it when I was freezing all of the carrier installed crapware (didn't want to uninstall it in case I actually get some of the features enabled).. freeze it and you will never see it again.. (I don't think I would risk deleting it since if it breaks something else it is easy enough to unfreeze/thaw the application)... this of course requires you to have titanium backup and pay for the elite license which gives you these features..
Double Home doesn't launch anything anymore.. although I never had a problem with it launching when going into car-mode.. I had turned that feature off...
I am still a noob with the andriod phone.. I had an iphone before this.. but am finding that I really like the flexibility of andriod over iphone..
It looks like we have a decent work around, posted by zen0s on the Infuse car dock thread:
zen0s said:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.

I froze it using TiBU on my Skyrocket and that worked just fine because S Voice wasn't really working well with the phone, but now that I have an SIII, I want to use it when it is appropriate for me, not every time I dock the phone! So the two options stand, freeze it or run Dock Nothingness to prevent S Voice from starting up every time it is car docked!

My tablet also did that when I first got it. To fix the problem, I uninstalled then reinstalled Crackle.

I thought it was just me.... This is very annoying. I don't see any settings in Crackle to cause this... nothing in the Xperia settings... and I disabled all the "Smart Connect" setup... I did try deinstalling and reinstalling Crackle - no use. Drop the tablet in the charger, Crackle pops up !
Anyone have a real fix for this?
finally I when with an app call dock clock to be activated prefer to see the clock than crackle

Yes... Dock Clock (Night Clock). Thanks for the tip... I installed this and then did have an option to select Crackle or Dock Clock when I put the tablet in the cradle. And this is much better than Crackle... I had previously setup my Acer tablet so that it did something similar (Settings -> Display -> Daydream -> Clock).
How annoying! I had to use titanium and freeze it. Screen stays the same when docking now

Sony's now updated their "Smart Connect" app on the tablet so you can define what happens when you put the tablet in the charging dock.
My tablet originally asked me what I wanted to do when I inserted it into the dock, i.e. set up a SmartConnect rule. After defining that I didn't want any, it hasn't bothered me again.
I don't have Crackle preinstalled. Must be a regional thing.
Just delete all the events in the smart connect app, and recreate the events. Fixed!
Does anyone else have the same issues with their Xperia Z Ultra? When I connect my phone to a magnetic charging cable, the app that I'm currently in refreshes. The phone thinks it is being docked and the screen auto rotates as well.

Hamdogg! You are EVERYWHERE and always helping people. Did you get your phone back from service? I love your videos btw. I've lurked too long here without posting.
And, I actually want the phone to do nothing when I connect it to the charger. If I'm browsing chrome while the phone is on charge, and I accidentally disconnect the cable, the entire page refreshes. If I'm playing a game or watching a movie, and I'm running low on charge and connect the magnetic cable, then the entire app refreshes and I lose all progress.
I have a feeling it is an Android thing, it treats 'Docking' as some kind of special event, and was wondering if someone could figure out a way to disable it, in their custom rom or through an Xposed module. This is a very specific request, I can imagine, because very few people will have phones with magnetic charging ports and even fewer will use it to charge their phone on a regular basis.

LOL... well, thats what XDA is all about... Thats what I think its about anyway.
Thanks for watching my videos. Gotta try and help if you can..
I'll look into it with my ROM and see what the device is doing when its docks. It may just be a simple titanium backup 'freeze' that would stop it.
Actually try that. freeze sony connect and then dock the ultra and see what happens.
got my phone back a week before xmass... 8 weeks away! man that was a killer!

I can't find a 'Sony Connect' in Titanium Backup.
Actually I'm not sure if it will be as simple as that. Because I experienced the same refreshing issue and auto rotate issue when I was using PA as well.
What you are describing is controlled by setting/display/daydream.

Even with Daydream turned off I'm experiencing the same refreshing and autorotate effect. And I can't seem to find any way to freeze daydream in titanium backup.

& I believe I set it to do nothing the first time I connected the dock charger, & before I deleted the app it still refreshed & rotated

hi All,
I found this problem too at Kitkat .757. the screen is auto refresh when using magnetic charging. widget, icon, everything at homescreen is refresh. the nightmare is if I'm on playing game or everything on fullscreen mode, BOOM..! the screen suddenly freeze / un-response. can't back to home screen, using power+volUp instead to force restart. try to remove any recent installed app but no result, the problem still exist. from deduction (noob) the problem is the launcher, coz I didn't find this problem on APEX. I dunno.. :/
[FIXED!] 'Dock Mode' and Magnetic Charging
I found the solution to this issue.
If you are rooted, install Xposed and Mohammad Ag's Disable Desk Dock. Solved all my issues.
I think the dev of this module has an Xperia Z1 and has made some of the most amazing and useful modules for Xposed. I highly recommend checking them out and making a donation if you can!

ah really, no thanks. I don't interested to install other unknownly framework to my system.
for the first week I use magnetic charging and the issue (self-refresh) not happen. I'm not sure too, but I think some apk from market bring this issue..

1. Both "Xposed Framework" and the module in question are open source, so go ahead and check the code.
2. Mohammad is one of the most popular and trusted module developer around, so nothing here is "unknown".
Should you be aware of modules that you find randomly on the internet? Yes. Definitely. But you're at XDA now, and the great thing about that is that if something's not right, you'll hear it. There are thousands of people installing Xposed modules at all times, and i'll bet some of them have checked the code in the most popular modules.
thanks for this, was going nuts trying to find a way to disable that annoying thing
