[Q] Misterious car dock (car home) icon when cable connected? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Folks!
There is an annoing problem where I need your experience!
I use CM10.1. Some time after fresh flashing, this issue comes over and over again.
When I plug my phone to charge, car dock icon appears in the notification bar.
(I don't have car dock, phone has never sit in car dock candle!)
This icon shows and hides randomly and my phone reboots sometimes.
I don't know why is it happening.
I don't have car dock. I use only a simple USB cable with adaptor.
I tried many roms before, and other cable too, doesn't work.
Please help me, if you can!
* Edit 1 *
I mentioned this icon as "car dock" but it's name is "car home".
* Edit 2 *
Last night I have experienced this issue I found the only way to charge my phone. This method very simple. Restart S3 to recovery mode (TWRP). In recovery mode, phone will charge without problems (w/o reboot and freeze). Morning I disconnected my phone, restarted - afterwards I haven't got this charging problem again! I'm testing now.
Other forum says, you just have to clean microUSB socket. My phone was clear, but it could be a solution too.

Can you just post it one screenshot with this "car dock icon" ? TY

This is exactly what I want to do. But this issue not comes over since morning. I try to rebbot and plug the device on charger and USB cables. I don't know why, but it is now stable. I must wait until it comes over again. I am ready for it, installed screenshot app and logcat.
I just found an external image where you can see that icon too. That is the third icon on the screenshot.

If it's not working correctly and you've not done something to cause it, of course, that's what a warranty is for.

Force cardock mode

Hello all, im hope i correctly chose forum.
I have a small but annoying problem: my RAZR dont detect orignal Car Dock., without this not working audio-by-microusb cable (original cardock cool feature). I test two other razrs and two other cardocks, and have trouble only with my phone.
I tried flash by rsdlite stock flash, i tried three modded ROMs, and no effect. Phone not detect dock, for example my razr with cm10 have in settings panel "dock settings" item, where show status of dock connecting. My razr never show "connected", razr of my girlfriend show it always.In MIUI - razr of my friend working normally, my razr didn't work.
One time my phone is dead even on charge, when i used navigation and music simultaneously. I think its hardware problem in charge controller, but i dont know how check it out.
Is any method to software force REAL carmode? Utilities like "Car Mode Control" only start car-shell, and in "dock settings" phone displayed as not connected with car dock.
U can make direct acces to the function.
On Nova Launcher is the third option when u hold finger on launcher then the second one.

Activities i tried also, and this is like CardockControl app - only launch carmode shell, in dock settings nothing changed (still "not connected") and no microusb audio too. In CM10 (by dtrail) this activities not present at all.
EDIT: there is few threads on my problem founded: 1 and 2. But no working solution =(
If you're still looking for this I found an app called Car Mode Control where just enables car mode, not a dock shell, it will actually on load a shell if you already have one built into your phone. my problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get out of car mode and had to reboot the phone to get out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cwfk.ig88.carmode
Car mode i can enable with many programs (i use InDrive now), but this not enable cardock mode. I wand use feature of original car mount - audio over microusb.
The link I posted should enable your audio over microusb, It's not a car dock app, it switches on your phones own car mode.
No, it dont. Phone not really switch "cardock" mode, like it do it in real car mount. Simple, only car mode (change launcher to "car shell" if installed).
Sorry to hear that. It worked on my phone except that i couldn't get it out of car mode.

I may have found a temporary quick fix for bluetooth problems on CM based ROMs

Myself and many others have had crippling issues with bluetooth on CM-based roms and it has gone unfixed for a long time. Bluetooth suddenly just stops working. The icon disappears from the notification menu, and if you try to turn it on, it appears to turn on for a fraction of a millisecond and then shuts off. Rebooting doesn't fix it. Clearing cache from safe strap does fix it (temporarily), but it's a pain in the ass and takes a long time.
This has happened to me both in CM 10.1 and Carbon, and it happens about once a day. Once every two if I'm lucky.
Today I managed to restore bluetooth completely by simply force closing the "Bluetooth Share" app. I did tap "Clear Cache" first in the app's settings, but it didn't appear to do anything (cache remained at 12KB), so I don't know if that step is required. Bluetooth was immediately restored and the icon immediately reappeared in my notification bar. Why this worked but rebooting doesn't is beyond me. I would think since all apps get shut down on reboot, that a reboot would have the same effect... who knows.
Anyway, I just thought I would share my discovery with other frustrated Razr owners. I have only tried it once, but I will update this thread next time I attempt this and post my results.
1st Attempt: Success
2nd Attempt: ??? (will test without clearing app cache)
3rd Attempt: ???
If this does indeed work consistently, it may be possible to create a bandaid fix for this whereby an app running in the background constantly checks to see if bluetooth is turned on, and if not, executes a force close on the app, automatically bringing bluetooth back up.

but good idea to make its own thread to spread awareness

Cant connect to Samsung Smart Led Lamp (GB9000), how to reset/bypass

Hi, i bought a Samsung smart led lamp, that connects using Bluetooth Low energy and MESH network to control color temperature and on/off with android app,( which haven't been updated since last year) it seems like Samsung suddenly killed this project, with no news about it, its a great and useful smart led lamp but the app is not working properly, i had problems pairing in first place as app kept crashing but after i got it to work there was no problems, until i updated my s5 from 5.0 to 5.1
after that the app loops between searching and re requesting connection to device, and every time it loops the lamp dims to show a connection attempt, but nothing else happens, so i cant get to menu, where is a option to re-initialize the lamp, ( which doesn't seem to working as well) there is no buttons on the lamp and no info about "manual reset", i tried a fresh install , a different phone and phone with kitkat, but all just crash and loop, also when i try to pair using Bluetooth menu it gives me a error: incorrect pin or password, but it doesn't ask for one, i tried the "forcestop bt share" etc but nothing seems to work, also no stop form Samsung and the email address they give in app page in play store is not in use.
also the log of crash points to : source method: FindViewUnlocked and stack trace starts with: "java.lang.illegalArgumentExpection:View=android.widget.FrameLayout{fe9f3fd V.E.... .....I. o,o-960,192} not attached to window manager"
So now for the real question: is there a way to manually reset the lamp or bypass the pin/password?
sorry if wrong subforum or etc

S9+ screen stays black, not turning on

Hello XDA!
today the screen on my Galaxy S9+ G965F/DS suddenly stopped working. I can hear sounds while it turns on and while its on if i tap on something, LED is sometimes blinking blue while on, red while charging and green if charged. But the screen stays black no matter what i do.
Tried: Soft reset, with USB connected and not connected. Booting into recovery and odin-mod.
Connected to PC i see s9+ in explorer, while in odin-mod i see the device showing in that mod too.
Unrooted and untoched firmware.
Before I send this device to repair, or try to repair it by myself i would like to hear some suggestions what else i could try before opening dat device.
Cheers and thanks to everyone in advance! :fingers-crossed:
If the screen isn't working in download-mode, there is nothing you can do. Of course, you can open the phone and try to fix the problem, but then you will lose your warranty. The best would be, if you bring it to your operator, or the shop, where you buyed it. The repair should also be free, because you havn't root your phone.
Try to backup your data over the PC. You can also try to start the device, plug it into the charger, and leave it for at least 24 hours. Then it should backup your data to the Samsung cloud.
restarted in recovery and connected phone to pc and found it on adb

@profi_fahrer not afraid to loose warranty since its samsung and yeah everything that i need is already backed up.
potentially clear back incoming
update: another thing i noticed is that haptic feedback/response is like lagging and coming a bit later then it normaly would
Update:
Got myself an USB type c to HDMI adapter to check if gpu-unit is working... and it is.
So atm I am thinking about opening the device and looking into the problem.
As far as I understand this, failure could be in the display flex cable. Or the display itself. But since its an AMOLED and Pixels are drawn separately from each other..
Checked all sensors, touch, fingerprint reader, all 3 cameras.. Everything is working as should. So weird anyway.
