Re: PLEASE PLEASE Help with Hands Free Mode
Hi tried this and all the above and several other threads and adjusting the software or settings didn't work.
However I did find from another site/thread:
"The fix is reali easy. Ive done it on 2 s2's and an s3. Ur charhing port is faulty, usually because the connecter that goes into the charger has moved, which over time it does, as it often gets pushed while connecting and disconnecting chargers. Because of this, the phone thinks its connected while it isnt. Look into the charging port and ul notice the little metal connecter is close to one side, for me it has always been closer to the back of the phone. U need something reali thin, enough to get between the space (i a tiny flat screwdriver of sharp end of a thin knife, or a pin)and gently push the connecter back into the middle, so the space on both sides of the connecter (the thin metal bit) are equal."
Others said that the connector contacts get gunk on them which short out the phones (both S3 and S4). They suggested a gentle clean with soft material and a special contact cleaner. I was by this stage so p**ssed off I grabbed my wet toothbrush, gave it a not so gentle clean out and dried it off with the hair dryer.
It has worked like a charm ever since. My phone, not the toothbrush. That still has a funny taste!
The phone has stopped its incessant beeping and frequent (to continual) flicking between programs.
