Had the exact same issue a while back so I just took it to Sprint and got a new one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
perhaps its my google account cuz i notice after fresh install and before i sync my market there car home is no where to be found. so im thinking theres probably an issue with my google account and apps. even thiugh it does not have car home as one of ny apps ive installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
issue temporarily fixed by going to both car apps in applications and force stop/clearing data but then it came back again, defiantly sometime to do with usb port
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intermission:
My phone started having the same problem, it would come up for no reason at all. Just now I plugged it into my car charger and it magically stopped. I was wondering if the usb cable I got from HTC could be bad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dangerruss:
Its a provlem with your micro usb. I had the same problem on multiple

roms. Getting a new usb cable cleared it up for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siege121677:
I had the same problem, and it turned out that it was a 3rd party charger that I bought on ebay that caused it. I bought a charger from Sprint, and it cleared up for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattmann:
Don't mean to dig up an old thread, but figured would be better than starting a new one.

My Evo just started doing similar things just two days ago. Pretty sure mine was a moisture issue- put it in my pocket while swim suit was still wet, I've read similar reports on other forums.

My issue is Car Home will launch whenever it wants (seems to be purely random.) It will 'dock' then 'undock' (indicated by the chime it plays) two or three times in a row before it finally just runs in the background. If you are in an application while this happens it will either crash the program, or refresh everything, losing what ever state you were on.

Any got a software fix for this yet? I've tried uninstalling it, freezing it, reinstalling it, deleting the apk with root explorer... nothing. Not only is it god awful annoying it's killing my battery life. From what I am understanding this issue is rooted in hardware problems, but there has to be a way of stopping a program from auto loading.

I even went as far as to delete EVERY file that root explorer found the words 'car' and 'home' in with it's search function. Tried installing apps that supposedly blocked it from auto loading like NoDock, did nothing.

If all else fails I guess i could do a full wipe and reload CM7, but I've read reports that that doesn't even fix it. Is there anyway to confirm it's a USB problem, and not a short in the magnetic sensor? I attempted to take a cat log, think it was throwing a Java error, need to read up on how to post said log.

If there is a more complete thread or resolution page, please link it, I have no issues reading up on it myself if only I can find it.

Thanks for any input!

This problem is caused by the liquid damage... Everytime I have one come in with this issue.. I have signs of liquid damage to the board, especially around the charging port...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattmann:
I hear ya, but there has to be a way of removing carhome completely. My phone operates fantastic for 80% of the day, so it's not like it's a catastrophic error or anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truedis:
Same thing happening here on my Evo with Cyanogenmod 7.1RC1. Really odd behavior. I just uninstalled car home using Titanium and I'm waiting to see if that fixes it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthirst:
I downloaded nodock (trial) and pretty much solved the issue. I still have problems on start up but once I am able to enable the app. I might just end up buying the app because of no other choice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
I fixed this issue by getting a new phone. Its a hardware issue, something something usb port dying glitching, thinks its docking with car dock
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthirst:
I would totally do the same thing if I wasn't living in fear of the new ota
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
This.

It's a hardware issue, not software. The tech at my local Sprint store said they see this a lot with people that use car chargers, especially during the winter. The end of the cable falls on the floor and gets dirt, salt, and other crap in it then gets picked up and plugged into the phone and screws up the USB port. Sometimes it just needs to be cleaned, but sometimes it actually gets damaged.

I cleaned my charging port with rubbing alcohol and it seems to be fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcihlar:
has anyone found a solution to this issue, im currently experiencing it on my inspire.... from what i have read its a hardware issue, but isn't there anyway to make a patch of something that can block car home from launching?? it randomly starts up on my phone and causes my speaker phone to always be on when receiving calls or making one, until i manually turn it off but still its pretty annoying... help!! lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cphancock1:
water damage or generic charger

I had this problem I was using a cheap stand charger when I switched back to the stock charger it solved the problem after a few days.... but that evo broke and my next evo had it again plus HDMI wasn't working. Took it in and it had all kinds of corrosion from water damage causing the problem. So take it in or take it apart and clean it :) hope that helps
[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
Just received a very nice case and Samsung's car charger/usb cable

but I no longer have a Tab to use with them...

The case looks great.

It's the one only Bestbuy US sells the Platinum Series Folio case,

very nice leather book style.

Anyone in Canada interested just PM,

I know this stuff is harder to find up here.
[Galaxy Tab General] crisvillani:
Some picture's of the case would be great also where in canada are you?
[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
I'm in Calgary.

Here's the pics, the case is nice,

turns your tab into a leather book but keeps it small.

The cover opens and can used as a table stand as well in landscape mode.

Has opening for the front and rear camera too.

[Galaxy Tab General] SonicTab:
To make it easier I put them on eBay canada as separate items,

shipping is cheaper due to ebay flatrate boxes

if some buys both items 2nd ships free.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
As I have posted before, I have a script that uses wget to regularly pull a gif file off a server to check its status. This script worked when I was running Eugene's Vibrant9 ROM, but stopped when I installed Bionix Fusion 1.2. I am now running Nero v3, and it still does not work.

I initially suspected that the problem was with the version of wget, and that guided my investigations. But I have tried several wgets with the same results. To demonstrate, I've posted a test gif here:

http://216.97.237.135/tmp/test.gif

The gif is 544 bytes, but if I wget it from my phone over 3g I only get 308 bytes.

Further inspection has revealed that if I wget it from my phone over wifi I get all 544 bytes. In addition, if I tether my laptop to the phone using Mobile AP and wget from the laptop, I get 308 bytes. The problem is thus isolated to my 3g connection.

Given that it worked under a prior ROM, I now suspect that the problem is either the modem or the modem settings. Can someone suggest where I can find model settings that I might play with, or what different modems I might try installing (if that is even possible)?

I'm afraid that I find this issue fascinating yet frustrating, and I'm am running out of avenues to pursue. If I don't get any interest here, could someone suggest a different forum where the question might be of more interest? I'm posting here because I read this forum and there are a lot of smart people here, but this is a pretty narrow question....
[EVO Shift 4G General] casual864:
So who's making the jump to the Evo shift 4g? There is a review video on YouTube as well. Search for Evo shift 4g.
[EVO Shift 4G General] raymond4:
Yeah I am
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
I'm an epic user but I have seen the great dev community for the Evo and as I will be getting the shift for my wife I really hope that some of your devs make the switch or at the very least expand their development to include the shift!
[EVO Shift 4G General] T3hPWN:
Hell no! I see the shift as the "womans" version of an Evo. No offense to any ladies out there ;)
[EVO Shift 4G General] bigmoogle:
So, I should give my husband my Evo and I get the Shift? :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] DanWalker:
I just got my EVO last night and ordered the wife an Optimus she decided her Blackberry just couldn't hang anymore. But we might be sending the optimus back now after seeing the shift demo video, looks really nice.

[EVO Shift 4G General] Justin.G11:
Has anyone looked at the hardware specs or can tell if the 4g chipset is the same as the EVO? In other words: will all the WIMAX work being done right now be Shift compatible? I imagine so (at worst just wait for a kernel release so the new drivers can be compiled) but I'm curious.
[EVO Shift 4G General] leenypost:
The specs on the shift aren't as good. I wouldn't expect many current evo users to switch.
[EVO Shift 4G General] housry23:
smaller with a slide out keyboard. No thanks. It really doesn't have better specs than the Evo, just smaller with a slide out keyboard. I think I'll stick with my Evo for now because when I am eligible for an upgrade the phones will be much better than the Shift. No sense getting locked into a lesser phone for 2 yrs. My 2 pennies worth anyway. To each his own.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ffolkes:
Did anyone else notice in the video review, the processor is the same as the original EVO? V7 rev 2? Am I misunderstanding that?
[EVO Shift 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
Is it going to ship with the new sense?
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
*Sigh* people like numbers too much. Just because the number 800 is smaller than 1000 doesn't mean that 1000 is better than 800. The chip running the Evo Shift is faster than the plain old Evo and has been overclocked to 1600mhz which is bigger than 1000. As I've read in here the Evo force reboots at 1200. The only downside to this phone is its size which many would view as an upside (my wife is one of those people...she has small hands and cannot use the Evo or the Epic).
[EVO Shift 4G General] jacoballen22:
Think about it only a 2g sd card but the 1 LED flash will be better for taking pics on a 5mp cam. The EVO is still better even though I have a thing for keyboards. I didn't know I had a big thing for screen size until I got this lol. Bigger IS better, or at least that is what my girlfriend said.

from my EVO using XDA app.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
i'm jumping ship. it's the same cpu as the G2 and that thing is a beast.

also the keyboard would be handy, i miss having a real keyboard and can live with the smaller screen (same resolution...so whatever)

just hope we get CM7 on the Shift some time soon after release :-D

anyone hating on the CPU hasn't seen an evo and a G2 side by side.

my friends unrooted, stock G2 wipes the floor with my Evo running CM6.1.1 with zendroid 1.0.2 BFS - AVS with setCPU set to performance at 998mhz (stock clock and setCPU profiles turned off)

the GPU on the Scorpion (cpu in the shift. i think it's called the Scorpion) is enough for me to switch

Neocore on my Evo averages 32.2 FPS and my friends G2 averages 53 FPS. should make enough of a difference to play Dungeon Defenders :-D
[EVO Shift 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
Ill enjoy my evo and switch when there is a significant upgrade.
[EVO Shift 4G General] casual864:
I am very tempted to make a jump ship to the Shift 4g. However, you guys do point out interesting facts that I might reconsider.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sand1303:
No thanks from what I have seen I will stick with my evo. I have a craving for big screens. I love the size of my evo and wwont be going to a smaller screen
[EVO Shift 4G General] cruise350:
Its actually a Rev 1 and is only 800mhz. Only comes with a 2gb sd card also.

I'll pass!
[EVO Shift 4G General] abanh:
The scorpion core is Qualcomm's changes to ARM's standard Cortex A8 CPU. Both first and second generation Snapdragon have the scorpion core. Per clock cycle, Qualcomm claims it is 5-10% faster than a standard Cortex A8 (iphone 3gs used this processor). The second generation snapdragon is built on a 45nm process (60nm for first generation) so it is more energy efficient and should be better on battery life. The big advantage is the upgraded gpu, the Adreno 205 is much more powerful than the Adreno 200 found in the first generation Snapdragon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
First off...go bears. Second, as myself and others have pointed out, the processor is not actually a failing. Its not slow, in fact it bests the evo right out of the box.
[EVO Shift 4G General] fenixjn:
Even though I'm staying with the EVO I have to agree with this. The fact that the speed is lower does not compare because this is a different processor and a different technology. It's like comparing apples to oranges. The CPU on the Shift should be faster than the one on the EVO.
[EVO Shift 4G General] mattykinsx:
Enjoy.

When the dual-cores come out that number will double again. That should be summer time.

Hope that smaller screen works out for ya
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jbcarrera:
To everyone blasting the EVO Shift you want to know what it can do hardware wise IE processor and all check out what has been done with the G2 and then tell me its worse the Internals are almost Identical, differences internally are Wimax instead of hspa+ and CDMA instead of GSM other wise same CPU GPU Ram specs. now tell me its worse than the EVO
[EVO Shift 4G General] mattykinsx:
It's not.

It's a fact that the internals are better than the Evo.

I'm mocking when it's being released.

A few months before dual-cores are released.

So why would I bother?
[EVO Shift 4G General] plmiller0905:
I'm going to make the jump if Bestbuy can get their pre-order details straight. I tried to preorder online but then they told me I have to go into the store and preorder. So i called up my local bestbuy and they told me that it's $50 to preorder which is cool but then I asked him when will I be receiving the phone then and he said.."umm, I think we don't get them in till January 15"....wtf!

if anyone else pre-ordered their Shift, was you told the same thing?

I also signed up for a Rewards Zone account (online) because another poster stated that he preordered his and because he's a Reward Zone member, he get's his phone the 6th. So we'll see what happens. I plan to stop by there after I get off work.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
<.< Which is why I've been saying my wife is getting this. I am holding out for dual cores xD
[EVO Shift 4G General] swaze:
Curious.....explain how it wiped the floor with your EVO? It opened a window milliseconds faster? opened a browser half a second faster? Or are you basing it all on some meaningless benchmarks?? Im just wondering because realistically all of these phones are marginally different in what it is they do. But I guess you will say in the gaming dept.....which I guess I understand but I definately don't buy a phone for games. Thats what xbox360 and a 60inch flat screen are for.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
I don't get the issues with the smaller screens. Its personal preference is it not? Why the snarky replies.

I want the cpu and the keyboard. I would love the larger screen more if it were higher resolution. Also the graphics chip is terrible on the evo compared to the newer gen chips.

Also battery life should be better with the new cpu combined with the smaller display.

Ill worry about the dual core chips when they become available. Im not against buying new devices if its something im interested. Upgrade or not.

Sent from my Evo4G from wherever i happen to be standing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
I believe he was referring to the fact that there is a stable 1.8gHz (apologize for earlier numbers, I just looked up the ROM and here it is) which would clock in at 2700 in Quadrant. While the truth is that Quadrant standard doesn't mean anything, if you use the advanced version it does offer a valid way to gauge performance. And while you may still claim it is false, we're talking about doubling of CPU speed and an increase of 80% over what you are currently running and 60% over the maximum I've heard of an epic running. There is no way you can claim that that is not fast.

~~EDIT~~ Sorry, read a little more into that thread and its up to 1.9ghz. Apparently it won't boot at 2.0. Still, 1.9ghz in a phone? That's almost as fast as my laptop (mind you I'm running dual core).
[EVO Shift 4G General] leenypost:
*sigh* Kudos to you for assuming I was speaking about the processor... I wasn't.... stop making assumptions cause you just make an ass of u and me.

I prefer my larger screen and 8mp camera, could care less about a keyboard.

Processor speed (as in Mhz) means nothing (architecture is what its about), its all about the internals and with dual core around the corner I don't think anyone should jump ship for this phone if you already have an EVO. the differences are not that big performance wise compared to what is right around the corner and for me any slight quadrant score jump is absurd to base better performance off of. Even the reviewer says they are completely comparable and for me losing my screen size makes the shift the loser (thats for me)... For folks on T-Mobile, the G2 was a nice step up. For us folks with an EVO, not that impressed by the slightly faster processor and slightly upgraded gpu in comparison with what is about to drop. I would say folks would be pretty stupid to jump ship with what is coming up in the near future.
[EVO Shift 4G General] mattykinsx:
Keep in mind that these new cores get better battery life with more power too.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
why are you posting in this thread? the whole point here is to see why people are switching phones. you're happy with the Evo then good for you.

I'm happy with my Evo as well, but the idea of a more efficient CPU, a keyboard, and possibly a better camera (if it's anything like the G2's camera it will be better)

along with better battery life, it's a win.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jerryparid:
Too thick. HTC and Samsung are both bad at making thin sliders.

All I want is a G2 style phone with HTC update/software and dual core.
[EVO Shift 4G General] leenypost:
There is no question it should have better battery life as the cpu is more efficient and the larger nm should also mean less heat but think about the dual cores coming soon... They very well may make a phone similar to this one with much more power and similar battery life.

I would much rather have the folks at xda building custom kernals on my dual core device any day. Think of all the amazingly high useless quadrant scores I could pull,LOL..

Seriously though, I've jumped ship many times in the past for the newest thing out and have always regretted it as slightly there after something even better was out and I was stuck in contract.... This phones possible slight improvements over the original Evo in processor (the phone isn't even out yet, all we have seen is one guy test it and we all know running quadrant 3 times in a row will yield very different results so I don't take that video for very much) just isn't worth the new contract. Dual cores are coming really soon and that is a significant jump in technology that you or anyone else that wants a much better phone is going to want.
[EVO Shift 4G General] swaze:
Actually I asked a question, and if you don't care to respond to it then keep it moving. You can have all of that stuff you mentioned, but like my question asked, what the difference...a matter of millseconds?? Ok then...... enjoy your new phone. *shrug*
[EVO Shift 4G General] the5ifty:
So my wife is due for an upgrade in Feb but she just got a transform cause we have BBY ins and they couldn't fix a toilet phone so they approved her for an exchange for the transform. So I get her upgrade...I'm thinking get the shift and if I decide that I need a bigger screen and ffc or there isn't a decent dev following for the shift I exchange w/ $50 within the 30 days...does this sound like a decent idea?

PS I also have an upgrade in Dec '11 so I will get my dualcore then so no need to save the upgrade : -P
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
As far as it being "better", most things are purely subjective. The keyboard, sccreen size, and FFC are not definitive measurements for a great phone.

I like the smaller screen size, because the resolution on the Evo is not that great. It actually has the same resolution (800x480) as the Shift. I like the keyboard, and I don't care about mobile video chat.

The CPU/GPU is better, no opinions there.

I think that there wouldn't be nearly as much controversy and hate for this phone had they just called it the Shift or something without Evo in the name. I think most Evo owners are getting their panties in a bunch just because of that.

EDIT: I completely agree that no Evo owners should jump to this phone, as its not that great of a difference and there will be some good devices soon.

Also, I'm assuming this has the same camera as the G2, so that 5mp will be better than the Evo 8mp cam.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jfree3000:
I'm getting it for the wife, she likes the Evo but she wants a keyboard so this will be perfect timing. I was going to get her the Epic but she said she didn't like how bulky it was.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
I apologize for jumping to conclusions then.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rydah:
Hell no!!! I feel like its a downgrade.
[EVO Shift 4G General] potna:
I was really hoping there to be more to this shift.

I was hoping it would shift like HTC shift did a few years ago, not just slide.

Seems like the phone is almost the same size, but with smaller screen.

Is the camera better? Why is it a lower mp? can you really do 720p video, or is this some marketing bs like last time? my evo barely does 480p without the occasional hicup. And 720p is a joke.

I think it looks ugly.

Better battery will be nice, but this is not confirmed.

Will it charge like the evo, meaning how we loose anyway from 10% to 1% as soon as we take it off the charger.

Better gaming will be nice, but not confirmed.

Less RAM, Wtf

No improvement on internal storage and smaller micro SD card? Wtf.

No front cam, not that anyone is using these yet.

Is that camera lens on the back susceptible to scratches like our evo?

I guess I was really hoping for a bigger leap in bells and whistles. I prolly won't be jumping ship either.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
i concur.....
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
It seems silly to post this question in the Evo section. Of course no one who ones any Evo already is gonna buy the Shift.

I'm super stoked about the Shift but I'm currently rocking the Samsung Moment so the Shift seems like the logical upgrade. I need a hardware keyboard and I don't trust Sammy. I'd never use a FFC but I am dissapointed that there's no kickstand :'(

[EVO Shift 4G General] stangdriverdoug:

[EVO Shift 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I agree, obviously its a low end phone. Im sure.a phone woth dropping the evo over will come out over the summer.
[EVO Shift 4G General] the5ifty:
Low end...its not an intercept...not worth losing an evo 4 but equal alternative.
