Charger plays music?!?! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i just bought an external charger, it works wonderfully with all my devices except my s3 mini. when i plug it in, it does not start charging, but instead it starts playing a random song! so i thought it might be a glitchy music app, so i uninstalled it, and tried again. it opened the system music app and started playing music. if i leave the charger in, and close the music app, it still does not charge, but after about 10 seconds thre music starts again, i rebooted, and tried again. same results. please someone tell me what the issue is im really upset that my brand new charger dosent work on my main device!!!
my rom is cm11 from novafusion, but the same thing also happened on the stock rom.

Music playing on it's Own??? WTF

Not sure what the heck it happening. Im using CYAN's 4.0.2 ROM with KSpec's Oreo theme and for some reason, every time I plug in my phone to my PC, my phone starts playing music. I've tried reboots of both devices. I have also tried removing both meridian and the HTC music player from the ROM, but it still does it. The way to stop it is if I touch the notification bar on top it stops. Not it's only a minor annoyance as it doesn't do it when I'm charging the phone through a wall jack and I don't hook my phone up the my PC often, but if someone could tell me if there's something I can try ( other than a wipe, which I'm sure will fix it) what may be causing this issue and what might be a fix for it.
Well I know you said you didn't want to do it, but wiping might be your answer. I've read someother people had this problem when hooking it up to there car.

Phone got messed up when pulling out headphones

Hi,
I use my phone a lot for audio books with the audible player. I have a task your profile to set the phone into flight mode whenever the headphones are inserted (RF-paranoid). What has happened three times now, is that when I pull out the headphones to stop the playback the phone freezes and/or reboots. On two of the locations where this happened, the phone booted to an inconsistent state where all my installed applications that tried to start on Boot failed, and I got the start-up wizard. The only solution was to go back and restore a previous backup. This has only happened when pulling out the headphones before turning the screen on.
Running MCR FR11
Has anyone experienced anything similar?

[Q] No media sound, weird dock mode?

The phone: HTC Incredible S
The country: Canada
The Network: Telus
The OS: 2.3.3
The Sense: 2.1
Extra info: Not rooted anymore, problem started bout a week ago, dock mode openned alone when I plugged it in to charge at night via the oem htc usb cable and box.
The problems:
-Calls automatically go to speakerphone, both outgoing and incoming.
-No media sound plays from speakerphone or wired headset.
-No locking/unlocking screen sound
-No ringing sound when an outgoing call is connecting, Just silence until the other person answers. (makes it very awkward)
-Phone will randomly go into dock mode when I charge it at night and sometimes when it's in my pocket in the middle of the day
-When I make a call, I can press the home button and then go into any media (music, video etc) and if I play it, magically the media sound does play (at the same time as the call is on). As soon as I hang up the call, the media sound shuts off even though the song keeps playing (I can see the time advance, just no sound)
When I receive a phone call, text, voicemail etc the notification sound/ringtone plays well and loud.
I can only assume the phone believes it's in dock mode all the time?
Settings:
-Car panel set to NOT auto-launch
-Dock mode set to NOT auto-launch
-Media sound is set to high
-Flip for speaker is off
In the past week I have been going crazy. I have unrooted my phone, reset everything to factory, done factory resets like 4 times so far...took battery out for 3 hours...nothing worked. I have also tried wires headset routing fix, didnt work. I have tried installing invisible dock, still didnt work.
NOTES: I bought this phone second hand a while ago and have no waranty, nor do i have 250$ to buy another one. I am willing to root, use es file explorer to delete the dock mode completely, and change whatever code to make the phone forget dock mode exists. Or just make it not do anything when it enters dock mode.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks
(Before I get slammed for not searching, I have been searching for over a week on this stuff, haven't found a single person with all the problems I list, most people can use headset for media or have some different issues, and half those threads don't have answers...which is why I came to the best tech forums )

aaah, now I got it yeah, try deleting everything that has sth to do with dock. Or at least deactivate. definitely a weird-o-problem
You do have a situation that is unusual for sure.
The only thing I could suggest is that you try the WWE GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 ROM to rule out the Telus crapware in your current ROM.
Since you have a IncS NA model PG3212000, you will need to use the pre-rooted stock version in the Development section, so you will need to root and install a custom recovery in order to flash it.
The ROM you want to look for is the WWE 2.30.405.1 version:
WWE 2.30.405.1 stock ROM

I have just purchased an ebay dock, I will try to dock/undock it.
Also to delete the dock APK's do I have to be rooted? I kinda just unrooted yesterday haha... I will have ES file explorer, just I would think I'd need superuser to delete those kinds of files? (Sorry I am a noob when it comes to rooting...thank god for this noob friendly forum which assisted me in rooting it last time )
Also I have tried plugging/unplugging usb cable and headset didn't do anything, I also have toothpicked the hell out of all holes (lol) on the phone, she just doesn't seem to like it (lol again)
I will get some compressed air and try getting crap out...
EDIT: As for telus crapware the phone was originally with bell, I unlocked it and got a custom rom without bloatware, however now that I unrooted I am back with the Bell ruu/rom installed with all bloatware inclussive. However this started before all this back when I was rooted, and persists through unrooting.

You can just try to disable the dock.apk. No need for root, just go to manage apps screen

How do I "disable" an APK? I can force stop "Dock mode" however there is no disable option,. IE even if I close it, it would be able to run again. Also there is no dock.apk, just the dock mode icon in app manage...Anyways even when I force stop dock mode, the problem persists. I believe is may be a physical issue where the usb pins are always touching or something like that and it automatically disables media audio AND launches dock mode...rather than dock mode changing the media sound.

I know that there is no dock.apk it was just a random name, that you get what I mean Mmmhm... that's bad, you can't disable every app. It works with most of them but some are just too deep included. If you get yourself root access again you can kick the apk by using RootUninstaller

[Q] Phone shuts down when playing video

Hey there everybody, so I will just go straight forward with my problem. I have Samsung galaxy S plus (I9001), rooted with cm 10.1 (xistance), I am using a stock kernel that came with that rom. The problem is that whenever I try to watch an online video (like youtube or nba), my phone shuts off, so I tried using another rom and kernel, and that dind't help, then I thought that my battery is just dead, but I was wrong, now I have a new battery and the problem still occurs. This is really annoying, because I can't watch nba highlights normaly after every video I need to reboot my phone.
And that's not even all, maybe it's normal, but when I fully charge my phone to 100% and unplug it from the wall, my phone immediately goes from 100% to 99% and don't forget that my battery is brand new. Maybe it has to be this way?
So if anybody knows what is wrong with my galaxy S plus, please answer me, I will appreciate it

The only thing i can think of is to go into recovery mode choose advanced and fix permissions. When i get the odd random shut down or reboot that usually fixes the problem. Does your video player FC? If so i think that will help.

issues with cm12.1 [5.1.1] [nightly]

First of All Thanks to CM dev's for this awesome roms they have been providing us.
But for some time now, I have been facing some odd issues with my cell.. I'll describe them over here.. Here it goes
1. Issues with OTG Pendrives
This is a weird one i must say for me at-least. The problem is whenever i connect my OTG pendrive to my cell phone. either my cellphone does a soft restart and then loads it(along with it, it also disappears all my apps which are stored in my memory card. thus i cant access them also.) OR it will just my pendrive but again by making my apps in memory card disappear.(in both the scenario my memory card is unmounted everytime, hence the disappearing of apps.)
2. Issue with Loudspeaker.
I had this issue with My stock rom also(i am just adding it here so that atleast someone here might know the solution.). so the problem goes this way. whenever i tried/try(as in now on cm12.1 and in stock rom) a video/song/any file with sound in it, the loudspeaker just plainly wont work. It was like it had his own mood then whenever it wants it'll otherwise it wont. so This problem is still going on in Cm12.1 since i have installed cm on my Xperia SP device. i just cant figure out the issue as to why this is happening. since when i make a call the front speaker through which we hear also doesn't work. But if i turn loudspeaker option on then it will work properly(the loudspeaker). and i can play songs also at that point of time(this is what is odd in this, ie i can play songs while on call via loudspeaker but i cant play while normally i try to play them.).
3. battery drain issue
every i am using my cellphone and i see that my battery is at 5%. i have to look for charger because. when my cellphone shows me 5% on the very next min it will show me 0% and shut down the system. this is sometimes annoying since it will show 8% (below 10% you can say) and the very next min i get the problem that the system is shutting down. this gets annoying when i am doing some important stuff and i suddenly shuts down
If anyone over here know the solution to this issues, please help me with them. since it is literally frustrating sometime that i have to wait for my cell to soft reboot just to access some data in it.
Thank you.
please help me if anyone out there can.
