I'm seeing two oddities that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I'm stuck on the Official KK after a hardware swap at the local warranty repair center.
1> My phone goes into hands free mode everytime I get into the car and it detects my car stereo/bluetooth ODB II adapter. This is starting S Voice for some reason. I originally had a Tasker task that put my phone into hands free mode, but I've verified that it's disabled. Is there a hidden setting deep inside settings that associates hands free mode with a bluetooth device? I swear I looked all over the settings.
2> Pressing backspace seems to cause the cursor to jump backwards 5-10 characters and delete that character. You fix that mistake and press backspace again and it does the same thing, all the way back to the beginning. I thought it was a keyboard bug, but I switched to the Google Keyboard and the same thing is happening. Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks!
Doug
not sure about the first one but for the second check your key press delay in the keyboard advanced settings and make sure it is not too low, pressing and holding the back space key will remove words at a time.
My phone went into hands free mode automatically when I had a location set for my car. Settings\connections\location\my places. I believe the phone identified the car via blue tooth and switched to hands free mode automatically. I removed my car from my places and no more hands free mode coming on automatically.

Thanks! That was it!
It would be nice if I could just stop S Voice from launching on starting Hands Free mode. When I was on a rooted KitKat, I had S Voice frozen and that's why it didn't start then.

Glad you got it sorted out. You can disable S Voice via settings/general/application manager/swipe to all applications/S Voice/and select turn off.

Modaco-Paul is working on Trackball Wake! http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/14543157295
You should still have light notifications in 2.2. Is yours not working?
I only get White notifications and it doesnt blink as fast and work sometimes
Has anyone worked out exactly why these power buttons are dying? Mine's dead as a doornail too
this is pretty funny to me cuz mine was not working in the morning anyways i THINK it has to do with some dust collecting on it (like the trackball) i blew on it a lil and it started working again also i read somewhere else about a wire that has a 90 degree angle so you might try pushing the power button forward then down
This is certainly the most annoying issue on Nexus one...
I use a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to enable trackball wake and turning off via home screen. And when I need to reboot I use the "plug-remove battery-replace battery" trick...
If someone has better solutions, we'll be glad to hear them, since it seems that this problem will eventually hit all Nexus one users.
I use fancy widget - In the clock settings, I selected application when clock pressed (lock enabler app). This solves the locking problem without pressing the power.
Use the usual trackball wake as the unlocker.

My situation is:
My Nexus is with non funcioning power on switch.
What is the solution to power on phone after i need to switch battery or Sim Card,
Thank You.
I have the same problem.Is it hardware or software issue?
I used the call Google and get a warranty replacement trick
Seriously, just call and get it replaced under warranty, that's the only real fix. They are aware of the problem. My phone is rooted, I didn't mention that, and they didn't have a problem with it, and I got my replacement within a few days.
Now that they've stopped selling them, it may not be as easy, but worth a try.
This is a serious issue for people outside countries that sell the nexus one.
I live in brazil and I hope this problem doesn't appear to me because it's cheaper to try to fix it than travel to usa.

As mentioned above, for people outside the US, replacement of the device is not an easy task; and even for those who get a replacement, the problem will eventually recur, since it seems obvious now that this is a hardware issue.
As for how to reboot the device: plug it to the charger (usb or main), wait for the orange led to turn on, remove the battery, as soon as the led will turn off replace the battery and the phone will boot.
I've had two bad power buttons, they were a hardware issue replaced under warranty.
Does anyone have any experience of getting a replacement from HTC in Singapore for this power button failure issue?
I bought my phone in the Google Online Store on my last vacations in US, I live in Mexico and call to HTC for the warranty but theres no solution outside US.
I use compressed air in the power button and works a little without the battery cover.

I had exactly the same problem. then i read about it in the nexus one forum and some folks mentioned, that deinstalling the app "advanced task killer" solved their problem. i tried it and now my power button is back to normal and working like a charme!
there is a program in the market to get it to wake from the trackball but I can't remember the name. I had the same problem and had to send it back to HTC and they fixed it for free. They told me there has numerous problems with the wake/power button.
Are ALL N1 fated to have the power button break? I just bought a Nexus One and i wan't to know if i should return it whilst i still can.

Put me in the broken power button club. After going through a few months of the power button acting up, well it finally quit working. The good news is I still have 3 weeks remaining on my 1 year warranty, the bad news is the N1 has an unlocked bootloader. I called HTC last night and they emailed me an overnight shipping label. I chose the repair option instead of replacement. I did not discuss the unlocked bootloader with them. Since this is a hardware issue I can't see why they would deny the repair.
BTW, that is a great link on how to get the phone to turn on, I kept trying all last night to get it to come on by pressing the power button. If they deny the repair I will have them send it back and try one of the alternatives to turning the phone on and off.
I am currently using the Evil desire rom, should I flash back to a stock rom before sending it back.
Thanks.
Hi
Today my phone has randomly started activating car mode. It will flock on for seconds at a time or just stay on for good.
It will happen as I swipe screens or just tap an app.
Any ideas? Can't see a car mode app in system in Titanium anywhere.
Thanks

My htc one enters car mode automatically and won't exit it. I tried factory data resetting my phone but it didn't help. Thus my phone enters loudspeaker mode automatically when I place a call. Please somebody provide me with a solution. How can I get rid of this app since this app won't uninstall normally????????
I had this on my old HTC, try blowing out your charging port, might be lint making it think it's docked.

There is an option in the call settings to check in order to have pressing the power button hang up a call. My flex started killing calls with power button as soon as I got kit Kat. I found the setting feature and it was already unchecked. I set it and rebooted, unchecked rebooted about 4 times. I have tried going back to 4.2.2 but for some reason I can't. Any other ideas?

Did you unchecked the option (power key ends call) on the setting under accesbility?

Right. Unchecked there too.

This happens to me also after updating to KitKat. I can't, for the life of me, figure it out. The option is unchecked in call settings.
I live in sweden and got the kitkat update now i got the same problem and unchecking the checkbox doesnt help you had any luck solving the problem?
Yep after KitKat and trying everything I have the same problem and nothing seems to fix it. The weird thing too is when I LG Flash back to stock Jellybean my double tap to wake doesn't work at all.

FIX : shout down phone, press down all 3 buttons(volume up down and power) and waitfor some options to show up and turn them off.
Voila now your problem should be fix.
The option is for those whos touchscreen is not working and they can answer calls with the 3 buttons.
i know how to fix this

Resolution**** turn it off. Hold down the power and up and down volume keys all at once until a new screen pops up. Select the off option. Then your phone will reboot and the problem is fixed.
Dont waste your time calling your provider they are clueless. ?
hello, i have found by accident how to fix this. It is not a software problem. Its a option enabled for those oho have cracked screen or thouch is not responding. In order to fix it turn off your phone and hold all 3 buttons pressed, volume up down and power buttons . Hold them untill some options show up. And turn that off. That should fix the problem . I Hope this helpped .
Hey everyone. I have a new, stock, Z3 Compact I bouth a few weeks ago.
I am using a bluetooth headset to make calls, usually, during the day. I've got this annoying bug I found.
When I start a call, I usually turn off the screen and put the phone in my pocket or whatever, because I'm on my headset. But after that, if for any reason I want to turn it back on and use it for something, during that call, the back key doesn't work and the keyboard doesn't show up when tapping on input boxes.
I have also tested this without my bluetooth headset and it still happens. It's really easy to test this. Just start a call, turn off your screen, turn it back on and then open some app and try the keyboard or the back key.
Can someone else confirm the issue? I am on stock D5803, build number 23.0.A.2.98.
Just tried this and found no issues. Same phone / model and FW.

Thanks a lot! I gave it a reboot and everything works now I can't believe I didn't try that first. I think I haven't actually rebooted the device, ever, since buying it about 1 month ago
