Does anyone else have a problem with the car dock randomly disabling and playing on regular speaker mode? Almost every time I dock it the phone will stop and using the navigation on it I need the loud dock speaker not the regular phones speaker. The phone still shows the orange light so it seems to still be connected to the power. I thought bumps may cause the plug to get lose and disconnect but since the orange light is on I don't think its that plus reconnecting it sometimes doesn't help. Any ideas? I'm going to use it for a 8 hour drive so I hope someone helps!!

Mine seems to goof up if I leave wifi on. Try turning off wifi. That seems to work for me. Sometimes if I drive past a house or whatever that has wifi my phone picks it up and it seems to goon up my car dock connection. Hope this helps

my wifi automatic turns off when i leave my remembered locations so i know its not on. its so annoying to worry about the gps/phone/navigation when getting turn by turn directions. this is because even though the phone has been connected and the light stays on when returning from the long drive the and undocked the phone i found the phone very low on battery. i dont understand why if i always checked the light to make sure its not being disconnected since i thought that would mean its not using the battery to power it. this time i am going to try like 4 apps that say they will keep it in dock mode bluetooth on so we will see. i wish i didnt have to load all these apps and just knew which works but i cant risk this happening in a big busy city.

This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and repair the dock. Works after that.

will keep this in mind. i noticed another problem. i lowered the audio when playing pandora internet radio but i cannot put it back to loud! ive tried audiomanager and nothing. used navigation to turn it up but it says its maxed already yet both are very low. its so odd that i can lower the audio but not make it louder. ive now lowered it to like 1 bar and cant hear nothing unless totally silent in the car. ive even downloaded some apps to max the dock audio but i dont think they worked. time to reinstall cm i guess.

Oops, just noticed a typo. My sentence should read like this: "This happens to me too, every once in a while. What I do is unplug the dock from the power, plug it back in, insert my N1 into the dock, go into settings and re-pair the dock (via Bluetooth). Works after that.

yea thahts the problem i cant make the volume higher just lower and no way i can get to the phones buttons without undocking the phone. hmmm i wonder if the volume is in the actual dock and a unplug will restore it.
Have had this problem (random bluetooth disconnects) with the car dock since, I think, 2.2.1 came along. Reseting the car dock (power off and on) sometimes resolves the issue. Prior to 2.2.1 I don't think this problem existed. Anyone confirm that ?
*Update* Nexus One died totally today and is being collected by HTC UK tomorrow. That might explain some of the more bizarre behaviour I have been seeing.
ive had the problem on 2.1 but it wasnt a big deal for around town. found it a pain in unknown cities especially noisy highways using the stock speaker on the phone. i got home today from the trip i must take every 6 months and stayed parked trying to figure it out. 1st thing i had to do was up the volume. i found a nice app called a2dp volume that helped restore max volume on the actual car dock. at that exact moment it was docked but switched back to speaker kicking off all car dock apps like navigation and car mode. i just left it in the dock trying not to tiggle anything to reactate it and checked the settings-wireless and bluetooth. under bluetooth settings way at the bottom in paired devices i saw the car dock nexus one. it said it was paired but not connected. i held down the item and clicked connect (also if clicking the item gives you like 3 checkmarks 2 checked but 1st box is unchecked named Connect) and that is how i fix it now. really annoying to navigate through all that just to reconnect the bluetooth to the device. looking for a app that will help with this. if anyone finds it please reply!
When you say your wifi turns off, does it turn itself back on when you go back to you remembered networks? If so disable wifi completely.

i have a app called y5 that completely turns off the wifi when away from the remembered area. with that app, i cannot turn on/off the wifi because the app will not allow changes unless i turn off that app.

Does anyone else have this happening my screen will randomly turn on after i press the button on the top to turn it off? it is very annoying at night it makes me think i have an incoming call or text message and being that Im on call 24x7 sometimes have to check it everytime it happenes which is about ever 10 to 15 minutes????
I searched on here already and couldnt find anything?????
any help?????
yes, that's probably normal behaviour, since the SCREENN-OFF button also works as SCREEN-ON button, whatever necessary...
but my screen doesn't turn on randomly...
my tip: just put your device in a thick wool sock and put it face down on your desk ;-)...
another possibility is, that if you charge it over night and the plug isn't fitting right then the screen may turn off because it constantly thinks it's plugged in and out...
Best Luck and nice dreams
Regards
not only when plugged in
actually it doesnt only happen when the phone is plugged in it happenes all the time

mine does it too upon occasion. i think it has to do woth background processes running, or your phone is roaming for alternative towers.
mine does it too. I have the Sprint CDMA version. Someone on a different forum thought it might be the phone looking for a signal. But no one was really sure. Haven't been able to find much useful info on it anywhere.
it's switching towers...my Mogul did it too.
is there any way to make it stop
In some of the aboce cases it can be that someone is trying to make a video call to you while Phone skin is disabled.
I also have this problem. My screen will turn on from time to time without any obvious reason. It's especially annoying at night... I have my phone in a cradle on my nightstand, so when the screen comes on the whole room lights up! I've resorted to keeping a shirt over it at night.
I tried setting the phone to 100% roaming since my Sprint signal is low in my apartment and I read somewhere that the phone will turn on when it switches towers/service, but alas it did not help me.
ANY IDEAS FOR A FIX?
Hi guys,
I've got a lot of problem with my Xperia X1.
First I had camera problems, than vibration, they house cracking, mini mouse stuck and now my headset plugin.
I was outside and listened to music. When I came to home battery was empty so I charged it. When I turned on and headset wasn't plugged in I got it still in Headset Mode which makes me stuck right now.
I've tried to update rom, but didn't helped.
I've tried to plug in and out toooo many times, but still not worked.
I've turned my mobile off and plugged my headset out and turned mobile on, but still not fixed.
Any other fixes are always welcome.
Thanks anyways.
I also had this issue once, but i wouldn't recommend doing what i did to fix mine just in case it doesn't work for you, and damages your phone (standard disclaimer....lol) I stuck the end of a small hair clip into the jack and wiggled it around a bit until the icon disappeared and i could hear sounds again. I don't know if the problem has been fixed permenently or not, as my hands free has gone missing, so i can't plug it in and remove it to see if the problem happens again. I'm guessing the jack is worn out maybe? I'm pretty sure mine is with the amount of times its been used. Good luck
I've had this happen to me twice, when even restarting the phone won't help.
I managed to fix it by fiddling with the speaker/headphone switch in the FM-radio app.
I installed Tasker a while ago, and have it doing a few things, but I see in different threads some people doing some really cool stuff, so I was wondering, what do you use Tasker for?
Just last night I figured out how to get it to tell me who is calling me if I have my headphones with a mic plugged in. The only other thing I've done is make auto-rotation turn on when I open Gallery and turn off when I exit.
Trying to think of other stuff to get it to do.

I like the gallery idea. Did you get the steps/profile from a site, or figure it out. I would be interested in it.

There's a Tasker Wiki that has some good profile ideas here:
http://tasker.wikidot.com/
Here's all the stuff I have setup through Tasker right now, haha:
- Phone brightness goes to lowest level from midnight-6am.
- Silent mode turns on when headphones are plugged in.
- Silent mode turns on when phone is positioned face down.
- Silent mode turns on, Wifi/GPS/BT turn off between 8am-5pm (when I'm at work).
- TweetDeck/Voodoo App start up on boot.
- Data usage check via SMS automatically at 6:30am every day.
- GPS/BT turn off when I'm connected to Wifi, turn on when Wifi is out of range.
- Silent mode turns on when FxCamera is opened.
- GPS is turned on when RunKeeper is opened.
- Auto-rotate is turned on when certain apps are opened.
Tasker is easily the best app I've bought in the Market. PowerAMP is a close 2nd. Haha.

yea, I go to that website too. I use it to turn GPS on and off for certain applications. I also downloaded the profile from the wiki to locate my phone if i lose it.
I think I just got the idea from being frustrated that the gallery hides the pull-down bar. It's simple though:
New task>context>Gallery
Display>rotation>on
It automatically turns itself off without having to add an exit task. As a matter of fact, if you add an exit task to turn rotation back off, it gets stuck sometimes.

I also have mine set up to turn on screen filter at night so I don't get blinded when I look at my phone.
Lets see... I never messed around with it too much but I got it to do a few things.
-When I plug in USB, it automatically opens the notification bar so that I can mount it. Not much, but it makes it that much easier.
-When a headphone is plugged in, I have set my media volume down low to protect my ears and it also opens up my music player app automatically.
-From 7:25AM until 2:28PM, my phone automatically enters silent mode for school.
I have only owned Tasker for a few days but already find it indispensable and reason enough to never ever touch a fruity phone again. In the past week I have set up the following on my phone, most of them home-brewed:
1) Screen timeout to 7s when phone placed screen down
2) GPS auto start in apps that need GPS - maps, navigate, places, tracks, etc
3) Set screen timeout to 1hr in certain apps where I am likley to spend more than 30s without touching the screen - internet, reader, NY times, dirty jokes
4) Launch music player when headset plugged it, kill it when headset removed
5) Two sets of night modes - Mon-Fri and Sat-Sunday. They do the same stuff but with different trigger times - all sounds and vibrations except ringer off, no mobile date, no screen rotation. There are few things that are more frustrating than fumbling for my phone while in bed in the morning only to have the screen rotate on me. Ditto for late at night when I might be using the phone in bed lying on my side.
6) Turn Airplane mode on two minutes after loss of service, turn it off two minutes after service is restored. Prevents the phone from pissing away battery when there is no service. Would have preferred to do that based on signal strength but my phone does not report that correctly.
7) Vibrate for all email and messaging apps I use. The developers of many apps do bonehead things such as ignoring the system setting for "Vibrate on notify". Therefore even though my profile #5 above tells the phone not to vibrate at night GMail, Handcent and others will happily ignore you and wake you up. I have set them not to vibrate, then intercept their notifications with Tasker and trigger a vibration from within Tasker. I only wish there was an OR setting for that, so I don't have to maintain separate profiles for each app
8) Wifi auto stop/start when I am near a home cell tower. I also turn off mobile data.
9) Call home mode when I text "Where are you?" to my phone. The phone auto-replies with its GPS coordinates and address.
10) Voice SMS toggle widget - the phone will read my texts to me, e.g., if I am in the car and expect to be there for a while.
Things I wish Tasker would do:
1) Correctly recognize busy/free slots on my calendar. I could then set the phone to mute every time I have a meeting scheduled on my calendar. This would reduce the chance of my phone singing to me in the middle of a meeting... I like big butts and I cannot lie... you catch the drift. The current version claims it can do it but the functionality is broken on my phone. Not sure if it is a custom ROM issue or a Tasker issue.
2) Toggle 2G and 3G. This is not Taskfer's fault, but I really would like to be able to switch to 2G every time Wifi is on, or while I am near a cell tower at work. The signal strength inside the buildings at work is pathetic and leaving 3G on drains the battery big time as the phone continuously tries to boos the signal
3) Some type of readout from the orientation sensors. Imagine all the stupid pet tricks we could do if we had access to orientation-based scripting. Disabling screen rotation wen the phone is nearly horizontal comes to mind. I think Screebl can do that but why pay $2 extra just for that when Tasker ought to be able to do it just as well.
I've had Tasker for a while, and generally like it. It is crazy-powerful, but also crazy-difficult to learn how to use it to its full potential.
right now, only a couple things I use it for but I plan to use it more:
-when I turn my car on and it connects to the BT, it will automatically turn on GPS, Pandora and turn up the media volume (in case it was turned down before).
-when I turn the car off, GPS turns off and Pandora closes
-When I'm at work, a different ringtone is enabled and all volumes is turned down.
-when I leave work, my normal ringtone is re-enabled and all volumes are back high.
I really love Tasker. My 2 main uses are
1. Between the hours of 10pm and 6am, Tasker mutes my phone. If a call comes, it sends a text message to caller saying that I'm down for the night. If it's an emergency, the caller will have other numbers they can call. If I get a text message, it sends a auto reply of some sort but if it deals with golf, it will turn up the volume and play a song from Caddie Shack. I don't want to miss out on an early tee time!
2. I use Macs and have a music service set up that plays music throughout the house using various Airport Expresses and speakers via Airfoil. Speakers that I'm always playing to are the outdoor speakers (I live out in the country so let it rip!). I use Tasker to control volume, change stations or music services (Slacker, Pandora, iTunes, etc) and other music/video related items. The main conduit being iChat on the Mac and Google Talk on my Android thus being within range of the wireless access point is not necessary. Using SL4A and Python on the Android with Tasker allows for some very powerful scripting to happen. This in turn gets sent to the Mac via Google Talk and converted to applescripts for controlling all the apps and devices. The best part is that it's very powerful but easy to program, inexpensive and most important. very very reliable! Try that with a Sonos or Logitech Squeezebox.
Ummm… maybe I should write up details about this setup...
how to change pandora station?
Sorry for the noob reply to such an old post, but have been looking all over these forums and elsewhere and just can't find the answer. How did you use tasker to change pandora stations? If not Pandora, any other Internet radio service would do. Eventual goal is to set up some presets in Car Home to select channels while driving in a single touch, and I can use whichever web service executes this function best.
Thanks!
TuneinRadioPro has a Car Mode Screen thst may meet your need, without tasker.

- Sometimes the watch does not show any notifications anymore. Restarting the Watch "fixes" this behaviour
- Theather Mode is great. However it does not even vibrate anymore. At least there should be an option to keep the watch vibrating.
- After directly archiving a Gmail Notifcation it vibrates again. Why? Didnt do it on kitkat and i see no reason for it despite using more battery juicy.

1 confirmed, noticed the same. Only reboot of watch helps. Occurred 2 times.
2 agree.
3 don't get many Gmail notifications, so cannot say anything about it.
My watch vibrates without reason when it is on the charger. Tried resetting my clock, put in silent mode, theater mode and even flight mode and it still vibrates. It doesn't vibrate Al the time, once every 5-10 minutes and some times more. It works fine out of the charger, no issues at all.
Didn't have this problem before update to 5.0.1

This is by design and indicates when the watch connects/disconnects to/from the phone. When it connects to the phone, it vibrates once; when it disconnects, it vibrates twice.
If you reboot your phone, the watch will vibrate twice when the phone's Bluetooth turns off and once when it turns back on. Or when you leave the watch on the cradle and walk away from it with your phone far enough to lose the Bluetooth connection, it will vibrate twice to let you know it disconnected from the phone. When you get back within range, it will vibrate once to let you know it reconnected to the phone.

Not always. See the link I posted above. My watch would vibrate at random while charging and the phone was on the cradle charging (and turned on) it would appear that the watch was possibly not getting a high enough current at times due to the phone charging.

I have also this issue (on R and G watch). It is when contact is not well between watch and dock. Seem OK but I must press watch to ensure right contact without vibrate signal for charge ON/OFF. Look at your charge icon on watch when vibrate to see if it is good
Thanks all for your info. I have my phone off during night maybe this is a new feature that reminds you about lost connection to the phone ? Tried all other suggestions with no luck

Had the same last night, noticed that my watch was waking up (just like me ) several times. Secured it better in the dock and all well again.
Removed wear mini launcher to see if that solves the "not receiving notifications anymore" problem (which was easily cured by a reboot of the watch). After removing wear mini launcher I also had to restart the watch because notifications did not work anymore, so it could be related.

Let me try to explain my case:
- when this issue first happened, my watch did not display the notification when the notification is received on my phone
- I then swiped the screen of my watch to check if the notification was transferred to my watch or not although it was not displayed
- After swiping, the missing notification displayed on my watch immediately which indicated that the message was transferred to my watch although it was not displayed
- After the above actions (swiping and read the notification), my watch was back to normal for a while (the notifications could be displayed on the watch automatically).
I repeat the above actions every time when I noticed the notifications could not be displayed automatically.

I have same issue few times since the last update
It is strange to ear the notification sound and see nthing on watch, I look at phone and I see the notifcation icon on notification bar and all like you.
This Wear update sucks horribly. I've had this watch, GWR,for two weeks. I like it. Wear is complete garbage. Notifications randomly stop pushing to watch, reboot to temporarily fix. Randomly get 'offline' message despite showing 'connected' in Wear app, reboot fixes temporarily. Upon giving voice command, watch occasionally displays 'offline' message despite a strong data connection, usually no more notifications with this as well, reboot to fix. Battery life is 14 hours at best. So at the end of the day, I have a 300$ AMOLED watch. I bought this device so I could keep my phone in my pocket...this happens about one fifth of the time. The rest is me rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling toggling Bluetooth and now randomly checking my phone to see what I'm missing because the toy on my wrist is totally unreliable. Nice work Google.

What kind of phone is your watched paired with? I get about 2.5 to 3 days on a charge. Everything is rock solid for the most part. The only thing I'm pissed about is I keep getting my step count card even though I tried fit notifications off.

I'm paired to an LG G2 rooted on xdabbebs 2.2.0. I can stretch my battery further but I chose to leave screen always on, skymaster face with ambient on level 3-4. 2-3 days is believable if your screen is off, backlight low, using theater mode here and there.... everyone's mileage will vary for sure but mine was definitely low.
I think I may have figured out what is causing the random disconnects and could be to blame for higher battery consumption. I'm gonna wait until tonight and see if my connection remains solid before I get too excited.
So far so good though after 12 hours.

I think it has a lot to do with a setting in Bluetooth on my LG G2 that is labeled 'connectivity authorization' or something like that. I have to go in and re-tick 'automatically' every time I cycle Bluetooth on/off or reboot phone, as it defaults to 'always ask' and that is when I get the fast battery drain and connectivity issues. The other issue is that I fly for a living, generally two legs a day, so I am constantly switching into airplane mode on phone and watch and it seems that a huge drain occurs upon landing and coming out of airplane mode. After a bit the drain tapers off.
I'm looking more for a fix for the constant disconnections
My battery is fine I've had 2 days out of it and it's normally more than 50% by the end of the day
If you haven't tried already, reset the watch and make sure you pair it with the Wear app, not thru Bluetooth settings. Do you have the option in your phone Bluetooth menu under the connected watch to change the connectivity from 'always ask' to 'automatic ' ? I'm 90% sure this is causing my problems.
This has has happened to me 3 times so far while I am plugged in charging overnight. I'll wake up to see that my screen is on. If I hit the power button it will shut off, and then come back on in a second or two. Even if I flip it upside down so the screen is down, I can still see that the screen is still coming on. The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

what your probably referring too is active display. Which if you want off. I also have off is under the moto app
No, that's not it. I'm not talking about how it will come on every 3 seconds when you have a notification. I'm talking about turning fully back on so I can see my home screen.

Is the stay awake setting checked under developer options? Only thing I can think of right now.

Nope, that isn't checked. And normally this isn't an issue, only a sporadic thing.
Happened to me again last night, woke up and noticed the screen staying on around 5am. I tried disabling the active display but it didn't stop the screen from coming back on after I shut it off. I did find that when I unplugged it from my charger, the screen stopped coming back on. Does this give anyone any clues?

Its something you have installed.

I believe Safe Mode is still in Android. Try it. Warning: it will break your home screen widget layout.
If it is something that I installed, how can safe mode help me determine what it is?

The same reason it does in Windows. You use it to narrow down what is causing it. If Safe Mode cures the issue, you know for sure its an installed app. From there, process of elimination.
Right?
Just got the phone and have had this happen a few times also. No apps installed that I didn't have on my previous phone.
After a bit more testing I have more information. It seems like it only happens when it is plugged in and has reached a full charge. Once I unplug the phone from its charger, the screen stops coming on by itself. This is still some kind of bug, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to keep the screen off even if it is fully charged and plugged in.

Mine stays off. We cannot really call it a bug if it doesn't happen to everyone else.

Well I didn't think it was something that effected everyone, otherwise I would have found a thread on it. I'm going to try using a different charger tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Fair enough. I still think its an app installed though.
By any chance do you have the notification enabled for when the battery is fully charged?

No, I don't.
Ive tried this for two nights and it doesnt seem like I've had this issue since using a different charger...
My problem turned out to be the button accidentally being pressed and the screen lock setting being set to "5 seconds" after hitting the button, as opposed to right away. So the screen was going off, it wasn't locking, and an errand touch of the side of the phone while moving it would make the screen come back on without seeing the lock screen again because it was within the 5 seconds that the setting enabled. I was not familiar with this setting being on my previous phone and the Turbo was set to this by default. Hope this helps.
I agree that it is a bug, however, I was wondering, is there a way to get rid of that screen entirely? Frankly all that screen does for me is waste the battery, so being able to not have it at all would be great.
