Car mode problem

[Sharon Rose Lindeque]

My S3 is doing the same car mode thing. It started with the last update on July 4 weekend. Also when it goes into car mode I can't turn the phone off without it turning right back on by itself. Seems to do it mostly when battery power drop below 70%. Also since last update the phone doesn't seems to not recognize the charger when plugged in; I have to remove battery and put it back in then it will be okay until power drops again.

My phone did the same on both counts. Did not recognize the charger and could only charge when power was off and then also car mode that went on and off within seconds. I fixed this by cleaning the usb port with a toothpick. (toothbrush did not work for me as there was thick gunky black stuff stuck to it like glue). I stuck the point in there and cleaned around the sides and the middle thingy on top and at the bottom. The most goo was at the bottom of the middle thingy. After that my phone recognized the charger and no more car mode on and off. Hope this helps.

My S3 keeps switching on car mode by itself and then switching it off again a fraction of a second latter. on, off, on, off, on, off it's driving me nuts! I never selected the car mode in the first place (and don't know how to anyway!) It's making using the phone difficult at best and now I've had to switch the sound off on my device as it's constantly bleeping on and off! I need help please!

seriously do everyone just have a car compressor hanging around? lol, ok i did the brush clean method but still happened tho less so (a little less), then went into settings display wake on plug and disabled it (so screen will not come on when connecting or disconnecting charger), it seemed to make a difference and it was the closest thing my phone would do. to the previous advice given earlier.

working so far touch wood, Cheers I was starting to think my phone had been hacked
