Dock / Car mode turning on and off

Hey guys im using crashes final 4.1.2 rom and for the past week i have notice that car mode turns on and off again. its becoming annoying. i cant find out how to turn this off at all.
I have used this ROM for 2 months with no issues until now.
Any ideas?

Its possibly a hardware fault, I had a similar problem with my old HTC hd2 where the USB connection became corrupted and forced the phone into thinking it was getting docked. That's my view but hopefully its a software thing and you can easily sort it.

I had the exact same problem. Car dock mode randomly activated and deactivated with no user input.
The problem was a faulty USB the on the phone that was fixed when I sent it to service.

try cleaning the USB port first.. (remove battery) use a clean cloth , little alcohol, a small toothpick (gentle)

Disable radio...

So I have a spare d4 I keep around for parts and recently I have let my daughter (2yo) play with it... I figured I could just use use the lte on off app and disable the radio so she won't dial 911 but... she manages to keep turning it back on by toggling airplane mode.... so after a sheriff knocked on my door in response to a hang up call I figured I might ask you'll if there was a way to disable the call function or the best way to.... maybe freeze the dialer or something idk ... what do you'll suggest... thank you kindly for your time... and any help or suggestions

Lol try freezing or deleting the phone/dialer app, or something else that will break the radio

Just glad I could help out. Its perfect for unused phones people gives to their kids for using as a music player or as a game player .

Help!!! My phone was hacked!

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

Maybe you installed an app that had a RAT or some other virus in it

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

What apps have you installed recently? And have you sideloaded any apps?

I haven't installed any new apps. Just updated.

Anything I can do? Has anyone experienced this before?

I'm guessing you handle it like you would handle a virus on a computer and just wipe everything and start over.

Did you use any Samsung charger?

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm

Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.

With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

Moto X glitches [Q]

My moto x worked with no issues before today. I am currently at home, using my phone and it turns drive mode every 5 minutes with no reason. At the same time, night mode turns on. Tried to reboot moto x but it did not help. What would you recommend? Time to buy Nexus 5 ?

time to disable moto assist and all things moto assist related. just text and drive like normal people. jk. but i bailed on moto assist a year ago because things like that are never full proof. I can't risk my phone not going to vibrate when I enter work or school if the app messes up. I can deal with driving mode randomly appearing for no reason. I just do my stuff manually if its that important. Plus i don't like reporting location stuff to apps constantly for battery drain and the man.

I'd try clearing the cache and/or data

Moto X screen doesn't shut off when charging.

I have the Verizon Dev edition Moto X but when I go to charge the phone I have to press the power button to turn off the screen. It doesn't just dim then turn off after a while. I have active display on and daydream off but I'm not sure if that has something to do with it.
I should also mention that I'm not rooted or unlocked and running 4.4. Not the biggest problem in the world. In fact as I type this all I can see in my mind is the first world problems meme. Just wanted to know if there was a fix our if anyone else even had this problem.
