Phone stuck in landscape mode, calls always start on speaker.Car or headset mode?

Hi,
My phone is flashed with Darky 7.8
Recently, my phone has become stuck in landscape mode. When I dial into Test Mode, the accelerometer correctly identifies the phones orientation.
Another odd behavior I am having is that whenever I start a call it starts on speaker phone.
This is leading me to believe I have my phone in some kind of Car Mode, or Headset Mode or something. I have no idea, but I can't turn it off....
Anyone know what might be happening?
Thanks
Mitch

Bump. Has anyone experienced this problem?
It is very bizzare.... :S

Hi,
I'm experimenting the same weird behaviour! But the worst thing is that no matter which ROM I flash, even with a stock one, the phone eventually will get stuck on landscape mode. I say eventually, because when I wipe user data from clock recovery the problem is fixed temporarily. Also, I have the same problem with the calls going to the phone speaker. Have you been able to solve it m1tch37??

I have the same problem with phone stuck in landscape and phone starts on speaker. I didn't flash the phone, just wipe data and factory reset, but still the same behavior. In plus USB connection seems to not working.
Anybody, any idea?

... bump
Also experiencing this and tried uninstalling various applications to no avail. Also noticed that the USB connection isn't working (can't mount with USB debugging set both on and off).
Really annoying because you have to switch the way you've trained using this phone.

bump..
nobody has managed to fix this issue.. i tried checking if the sensor is ok and it shows fine, i have stock leaked gingerbread but it does the same on froyo as well. is this a hardware issue???

Guys I've been through this problem but the solution is very simple
just deassemble your device and clean it from inside with a special liquid.
I did it and it worked fine.

you have to replace the kernel...you flashes the wrong kernel that is not for your unit.

the kernel is ok, i think it has something with its charging port because it does not connect to pc, only charges of it.

it happened to me accidentally flash the wrong kernel. So wen I flash the one everything goes ok. Why not try it maybe same will do.

Solved my problem by taking apart the phone and cleaning usb port connections

Just like to say that I had this same problem also and can confirm that cleaning the usb port terminals does work, I just used a bit of clean paper and rubbed inside the usb port until all dirt was out restarted phone and now it works, didn't need to disassemble phone, Thanks for the advice guys

Upgraded to 5.6.890

Evening all,
I have being playing with a spare D3 and have been successful in bringing it back to life. I got it back to 959, and then upgraded it to 890. Now with the upgrade I have something weird happening and wondered if anyone else who is running 890 is experiencing this. I cannot seem to get USB mode to operate on the D3 now. It is connected to my PC via USB, but its not showing up on the device as connected. Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks,
Steve

I think this thread belongs in General. The answer (probably) is that you have the wrong USB mode selected from the menu pull-down. Hit the little android-usb icon up top and choose charge only, storage, or pc mode. Media sync might be the default.

No worries but its not that. The choice was not showing up in the notifications. It was only charging the battery. I read in another forum that its the USB cable, and would you believe thats it true.
So for all of you make sure you use the USB cable that came with your D3. Somehow in 890 its programmed differently.

I use the cable that came with my Droid Incredible (HTC) and the cable that came with my DroidX, with my Droid3 with no problems--959 and 890 firmwares. Both cables are wired differently, but the phone tolerates both of them well, although using the HTC cable does not give reliable Fastboot flashing or charge-only-mode (phone off) results. You might want to pitch that cable if it was giving you issues, they don't last forever!

890 works great for me except that the signal strength indicator doesn't like to turn blue at times when I am on wifi. Anyone else get this? Maybe I need to wipe data....

I would recommend a full wipe, as that was happening with mine too. Once I did a full data and cache wipe it went back to blue...I actually like the blue! Wish someone would put together an ADW theme with that blue...maybe I need to learn how to use ADW.

I just did a full data wipe and it still does it. If I go from 3G to WiFi, the WiFi indicator goes blue but the signal strength indicator bars stay white. If I put it into airplane mode from there then back, they both go blue. Odd....

Anyone having issues waking the phone from sleep mode?

Nope, been waking/sleeping quite fine here.

Same thing hapened to me... upgraded to 890 and then USB mode dropdown would not appear when connected via usb, it only charged; swapped out the USB cable and it was all good (too bad I didn't realize this until after I did a factory wipe)!

Hmm. Have you removed bloatware?
*EDIT*
It only seems to work for me when I'm connected to USB power...

USB port problem?

My T810 has stopped fast charging and is no longer connecting when plugged into a computer. But is does charge. Have tried several USB cables and chargers that work with other Samsung tablets.

Same here. Started a week ago.
Slow charging and PC does not recognise the device any more.
USB OTG does not work any more.
Additionally I see a never ending wakelock from 'Android OS'. No more deep sleep.
The issues are maybe connected.
Because the device is not rooted, I can't use WakeLockDetector to find the specific reason. The ADB workaround also does not work, because USB connection fails.

Have you tried to hard reset?

Not yet. I first try to find a solution without setting up everything again. Without root unfortunately I can't use TitaniumBackup. Without USB I unfortunately can't root.

I wanted to wait until end of warranty. So no TWRP as well.
There is an older thread with a slow charging issue. A hard reset solved it in this case and it was thought that a vpn client was the reason. I use 'Block This!' and already updated it to the latest version and also disabled it and rebooted. No success up to now.

Yes i was also on that thread because i have 2 tab s2 1 with broken screen and 1 with charging problems too so i did is swap the mobo to get a 100% working tab. I never tried to hard reset the defected mobo because i cant remove the working lcd again because of the adhesive of the hw buttons which is hard not to break when removing screen. Hope you find solution to your problem and incase you do pls share the info mabe i can recover the other mobo, its always better to have extra item for future repair

I want to add, that Odin does not see the device in download mode.
I slowly begin to assume that I have a broken USB and the WakeLocks are not connected to the issue. Or maybe Android tries to access the Port and does not find it and for that reason stays awake. Does that make sense?

So in your case it was a motherboard failure and not a broken USB? The 'red X' and 'charging takes forever' sound familiar.

Sorry for late reply im deodexing the android 7 and de-knoxing for my tab, Yes was a faulty mobo (not sure) because i havent tried the hard reset like the dude said in the other thread.. The X in the battery is only connected to pc if i connect to normal charger it has no X but charge super slow

I now tried a hard reset. Unfortunately nothing changed.
I made an OTA update to Android 7.0. Unfortunately nothing changed.
So I assume a broken motherboard or a broken USB port.
I also tried a backup/restore with Samsung Smart Switch to an external SD card. It doesn't backup the App databases/settings and just more or less random SD card folders. It does backup the APKs. You can't rely on it but it's better than nothing if you don't have an USB port. Some Apps like Nova and Solid Explorer provide backups of their settings. Use it in addition to Smart Switch and manually backup your internal card.
Thanks for your comments.

Eventually I sent the device to repair. They changed the motherboard and everything is fine now. Warranty covered the repair, fortunately.

for people have this usb port problem, I had this too before,
what i did to fix it is to use hair dryer, dry usb port for 30 secs, rest for 10 secs, dry 30 secs again, then let it cool down for 3 mins , that's it , it fixed.

Interesting technique Kevin. Any idea how this fix worked?

Charging issues.

Hi everyone.
My note 8 isn't charging recently. I used different cables/chargers but it's the same.
It only charges when connected to the pc...(only charges, cannot use MTP for transfering files).
What can it be? Charging port?

I had the same issue with my Note4. The USB port was to blame (the solder point on the board broke).
You will have to buy a wireless (inductive) charger in the interim until you can fix the issue. I got a wireless charger for this reason and left my USB Type-C port for data transfers.

One thing i found today is that it works in one side of the cable only( not both sides as it is type C). And it doesnt connect to pc, even download mode isn't recognized in odin.
So changing the port will fix it? It should cost around 25€ here in my country if i remember correctly.

You should try to charge it wireless and se how it goes, but by your explanation sounds like the port is malfunctioning. I had several phones with that problem and have to change the port. The solution I have is to use a magnetic cable and voila

Try cleaning the port before assuming it's bad. I work outside and my port gets built up with crap and a good cleaning with a toothbrush and some alcohol usually does the trick.

If cleaning the port doesn't help. Then you need to get the USB port repaired.

Did you install august update or custom ROM with august security patch?
If so that's the culprit.
Downgrading your ROM will fix the issue.

Yup i guess that's why. Even though phone charges now(everytime), i cannot connect it to the pc.
Can i downgrade without deleting my data, it's been a while since i last flashed using odin???

You can't really downgrade without killing the data.
I have a suggestion tho, maybe unrelated to your usb recognition, but it also might magically work, you have nothing to lose anyway:
- at 5% battery open dialer and tap *#0228# - press quick start - press ok
- charge to 100%, turn off, turn on, open dialer and tap *#0228# - press quick start - press ok, charge back to 100%
- optional open dialer and tap *#9900# - look for Batterystats reset and tap on it
This fixed usb issues for one of my users that had problems on august base.

If your phone is having stock ROM and stock recovery - the only option is by flashing ROM via ODIN and data will be erased.

I dont have any issues yet with charging but i do test with that. Im on August security patch.

Phone restarts every time I plug in the AC charger

Does anyone face this problem as well??
Whenever I plug in the charger, or even the USB type-c cable into my phone, if the other end is connected to any power source, my phone would freeze for a while and then restart.
Does anyone have an idea about this problem?

Have you tried different adapter/cable/USB port? How old is the phone? Using stock firmware?

Hay, my suggestion, backup all data, fully reset and format internal, i have this problem long ago, after update new firmware, escepcially if then place TWRP, doing root with magisk and kernel custom.

Yes, I have tried a bunch of cables, adapters and USB ports. I've tried one plus & Samsung chargers, tried plugging in the car, laptop and also some battery banks. There's nothing much I can do now. It seems that the moment the type c port is in contact of a current source, it freezes and eventually restarts.
The phone is almost a year old now, bought it last October. I started experiencing this problem in March. I have been living with it quite a while now. I was waiting if anyone else experienced this particular problem but it seems that no one has. The only freezing videos I saw were from another issue wherein the phone automatically restarts while being used. Mine won't restart abruptly, it would do that only when it actually touched a power source. But here I feel the problem is quite different.
I'm still using the stock firmware. I have tried factory resets and also followed the instructions on this link too.

Another issue is that I bought it in India last year, and now I'm located in Canada. I can't go back to India to get it fixed by ASUS since they don't provide an international warranty.

I might root it pretty soon and flash a custom kernel. But I hardly think it's gonna solve any problem
