Re: Car Mode?

Now, every time I plug the mini USB in, it turns on...there is also an icon for CAR MODE in the message bar at the top of the screen. Sometimes it will be in that mode even if it's not plugged in.

Why would it do that? I don't want it ever to be on. Can I disable it?
I had this happen and it turned out that it was the charging port on the phone going bad. Sprint replaced my phone.

My take is this... Since manufacturers have gone to the micro-usb the ports are weak/flimsy/cheap. The micro ports don't hold up as well as the mini-usb did. With battery life as poor as it is on the new-gen smart phones the plugs get used A LOT!!
