Question
the car mode on my android (desire) keeps coming on even when I'm not in the car. It will then continuously switch and I am no longer able to really use my phone for anything else other then a phone with no texting, music games internet etc because the car mode will actually stop some of my other programs from running. what wrong and how do I fix it?
It sounds like somethign in your profile you have chosen may be set to use the car or something where the phone is getting confused. I would recommend taking out the battery of the phone and keeping it out for a few minutes and then putting it back in and then when the phone turns on again, see if you still have the same problem. If you do, go into the profile you have, by going into the Settings. Do you have the autoreject on? If so, you may want to turn it off. You may have it on and be activating it without realizing it. This is under Call Settings. I hope this helps.
