Hi
I'have experienced this problem about 15 times, on all ROMs that i have tried.
When i'm in car and i insert my Imate Pda2k into the cradle, it perfoms an hardreset.
This problem happens about every 3 months, sometime 2 or 3 time in a day !
I have tried to change the charger, but problem still persist.
So i have opened the car charger connector and i have noticed that some pins connection were different from the original AC connector included with my PDA.
So i have reproduced the pinout connection on my car cradle connector, and i didn't experienced the problem for 3 months.
YESTERDAY, the problem happened again two times !!! so i don't think anymore that the problem is produced by an incorrect pinout of the connector....
PLEASE HELP ME !!! It's no funny to have random hardreset while you ara going around with your car (maybe with navigator).
Finally, someone else with this problem!
In my case, I only seem to get the problem if I have bluetooth on. It doesn't even seem to matter if the bluetooth is connected to another device or not.
Of course, I use bluetooth to connect to the GPS unit, so this is a big pain!
I'm using WM5, but when I downgraded again to WM2003 the problem stopped for abit and then came back. I find it strange how the problem went away for awhile but came back, along with the fact that using diffrent cable in my car didn't seem to fix the problem once it returned.
I can only think it's something with the firmware, but then it would be a problem in both WM2003 and WM5 firmwares.
It's a mistery.
yes.... it's a mystery
It's not a problem produced by applications, becuase i have experienced it, twice after an hard reset proced by the same problem.
maybe a car problem ??? i have a Peugeot 206 ? which car do you have ?

XDAIIi silenced only in broadit car cradle. Not in O2 USB or expansys generic USB. Wife has exactly same XDAIIi and both from hard reset only mine is silenced when on car charge. Can anyone enlighten me?
I have just started having exactly the same problem after installing the latest O2 rom update.
Is there a registry hack or something to send the Tom Tom thru the unit speaker and not try to look for a car mount kit speaker or whatever it's doing?
Thanks

I hope there is but still waiting for the miracle to appear, I don't care if i have to pay someone to sort it for me, I just want audio to come outta my car kit all the time!
I have just applied the 10 K resistor to my car kit and after energizing the relay sound came through the car kit speaker, great i though then the sound faded to nothing after several seconds ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH
Anyone know of a fix for this
Just tried again and it seems to work flawlessly!
We shall see, i'll get it installed and try it on a run!
I dont have a carkit for the relay to come out of ... I just want the sound of my TomTom to come from the PDA's own speaker. Is there something I have missed in the setup.
It seems that when the Brodit conects to recharge the PDA , the PDA seems to think it has to use an external speaker
Also, I am sure this has only started happening since the last O2 rom update.
The description of WM6 new releases by Faria stated that finaly he solved the annoying car charger disconnection problem.
I think this has been one of the major isues of the Hermes, and until this moment nobody has been able to solve it without tweaking the conectors.
Could somebody explain how to "export" the Faria solution to any other rom (reg change, cab file...).
At the moment I'm with the last Elf rom and don't have time for a new change.
Thanks
(I have made this question on Faria's post but no answer at the moment)
I dont have that problem with my hermes, maybe because Im using the i.Trek semsons automount

Hi.
I solved this problem time ago buying a new car charger for my Hermes, and issue dissapears, no matter wat ROM i use
Not all car charges are the same, take a look and buy one specifically for Hermes...
bear in mind that there are also two different pin configurations for miniUSB connectors.
my father has one miniUSB connector for his GPS and another seemingly identical one for his hermes. one works on the hermes, the other does not.
Thanks for your comments.
I know that there are special chargers that will work, but I use one with 2 USB female connector in wich I can conect at same time an usb+psp double cable (for my Hermes and my Creative Zen Extra) and a single usb cable (for my Leadtek GPS).
I prefer to avoid more gadgets arround, and if there is a free software solution....
I had the same problem. I found a way around it, it's not elegant but it works.
Disconnect and reconnect the battery while the car charges is connected.
It works every time.

There is an easier solution, but not always works. Just connect the hermes while it is in standby.
...
Regarding the real solution announced with the new roms, it should be the chef secret recipe....
I used to suffer from this all the time, now it works 100%. I am running Black 3.5 but I think it was fixed back in Black 2.0 / XDA Live 0.2 time. I am using the same cable I used back then.
The workaround I used to do was, if it didnt start charging, to just soft reset the device and it would charge every time.

im guessing with the faria solution it only sends 500ma to the phone still, but yes working great so far with the Faria rom.
I did have the correct charger cable but then it got mixed up or broken and have not found it since. (it had the correct pins and thus charged at a much faster rate the the usb sync cable rate.
My interest in this is improperly designed devices, such as the Garmin Mobile 20 GPS receiver. It has a method of powering the connected phone/PDA by means of a cable, but it doesn't work on the TyTN (although it does work with a friend's T-Mobile SDA).
The unit clearly gives enough power to charge the TyTN, as connecting it then doing a soft-reset works. I just have no hope that Garmin will fix this issue, even though I have pointed them to one of the larger threads on car chargers, and what has to be done to make them work (I suspect that a new charging cable on their end would be enough to make it work). Thus, a software fix that works with the various ROMs out there would be a good thing.

I would also like to know this.
my sister and father both have hermes i would like to implement this change which has caused my dad MANY porblems without havnig to upgrade him to WM06 and invalidate his warentee.
I bought some cheap no-name USB car charger labled for Motorola Razr I believe... I was confused as to why it seemed to work intermittently. I recently found the answer - you must have the car charger live before you plug it into the Hermes. So I:
1. Plug in the car charger to the cigar lighter
2. Start or turn on the car
3. Then plug it into the Hermes.
Works 100% now.
everyone keeps missing the point...
there are several work arrounds!!!
BUT somone has managed to work out how to get the software ROM to behave properly.. this is better than ANY work arround or special adapter....
this software is what we require. (please!) stop explaining you special connection methods its not what is being asked for...
My touch pro 2 first started this when I had lots of cab themes like changing the icons and clock. I was listening to music when it started to redial the last person I rang. I thought it was a cab iusse which did this.
So I removed them all and reset it to factory settings.
Its done it about another 5 times since then but not listening to music, while it was sitting on a table.
It was locked with the screen turned off then just started trying to ring the last person I called.
any help from you smart people.
And yes I did do a search on here first

Does your device only makes these calls when connected to a headset?
I previously bought a cheap headset with 3.5mm headphone adapter. It had a button on it to answer calls. Apparently something was wrong with the button since my device kept thinking the button is constantly being pressed. 2 quick presses on the button instructs the device to dial the last called contact.
My problem went away after I replaced the headset (with another cheap headset albeit!)
I used mine alot as a mp3 so it could be that but my cheap adaptor does not have a redial button like yours. And it did it with a cabled adaptor and one which has no cable. I got mine from ebay those were the only two models i found and I have them both but it did it when I have it pluged into my car charger too.
but I cant think if its done it when its not pluged into anything hmmm
My money is on your (non-HTC-approved )3.5mm adapter and your car charger being the culprit. Somehow, they are instructing your device to dial your last contact.
I'm havning the same problems recently with my TP2.
It *ONLY* happens in my car, when I have it connected to a 3-in-1 mini-usb => headphones/charger adapter. It has no buttons at all, just a passive converter.
It might have to do with the adapater, or maybe with my cars builtin BT functionality. It also only happens if I physically move the phone and put it back next to me or pick it up.

I've had something similar happen with a broken adapter. It was acting like I was pressing the redial button, replacing the adapter stopped the problem.
Also, I've seen the TP2 act strangely near strong magnets. I can unlock mine using the clip on my (now no longer used) case without touching the phone. I also was able to get the camera to start once, I bet I could have caused a redial if I wanted to try.
any ideas of where to get an offical one from? Ive never seen one.

Check this out. But I've seen it as cheap as about 90 HKD (roughly 7 GBP) in stores.
I've actually experienced the same thing but with one difference: I was using a bluetooth stereo headset (Motorola HT 820 to be exact). Any ideas?
oh and when I say car charger I mean a Venturi mini with the offical data cable I got with the phone. Which is conected up by... bluetooth.
This is werid
Okay, seems that my case is the same and the suggested solutions don't really apply in your case. Any ideas everyone?

Maybe Bluetooth is the problem then.
I might check and try to reproduce the problem the next time I'm stuck in traffic again
Will try to see if it's a BT or converter problem.
I am facing a unique problem. After my desire upgrade to Gingerbread and then to runnymede 2.3.5, my phone speakerphone automatically gets ON after any restart. I am not able to use it as normal phone during calls since speaker and mic not available. I found one solution for that, i have to plugin external microphone jack to remove that icon/ speakerphone mode.
Any suggestion why it is happening. Is it software problem of hardware?
It's not unique, your issue may be related to Car Mode. If you have used some 3'rd party chargers, they might have damaged your phone's microUSB plug, shorting some pins and making the phone believe it's sitting in a car craddle. My GF had the exact same problem with her Desire, which i fixed by gently cleaning the phone's USB plug with a soft toothbrush.
Certainly, it can also be a software issue, thus you should try changing ROMs first and see if the problem persists.
Thank you so much "Mr. TVTV" for your early reply. and thanks for your suggestion. It works for me. I seems problem sortout by viping usb port with brush. Tried two reboots and satisfied. Thanks again
Glad i could help!
Hello,
First of all sorry for my bad english.
3 years ago i bought this very head unit https://www.amazon.fr/Wekuo-Android-8-0-Lecteur-2015-2016-2017-Autoradio-Bluetooth/dp/B07GH48P59
It's running latest Hal9K Android 9 version.
Since one year back i started using less times my car but i noticed that after a while of driving the speaker would sound weirdly, some coil whine out of the speakers directly, but i never try to solve the problem...
Some months ago i could only start the car, drive 5minand then a very very lound noise from the speakers...
I changed all 4 speakers to brand new Focal.
What is the problem ?? Actually i was testing everything out of the car using a PSU , even changed the thermal compound and add computer fan to my HU...
At first i wasn't able to start the UH with PSU, then i find out because CANBUS i had to hotwire the ACC wire so the HU will start, and it did...
It runs cold as winter..... (which is perfect, and even pluged some speakers and sound is perfect)
but when i plug it back to the car it gets hot even if nothing is being used... and i mean i only plugged it to car power, even speakers were not connected..
Car battery is brand new, same as the one before, (fiat original parts), car alternator is working fine, also the problem is present with engine off or on.
I really thing this is CANBUS related, but from where ? from the can bus little red box adapter ? something else from the car itself ? ? actually this is my second HU on this car, and the old one i was able to start it with PSU without bypass ACC from CANBUS
It's a Fiat Tipo from 2016, it's original radio was the uconnect 5. Should i try to connect everything together and perform a new proxy alignment using fiat multiecuscan ?
I am getting very angry because this situation, i hate driving and not having music lol
If i can't to anything i thing i will erase the canbus from the HU and just use ACC, but i will lose canbus and steering wheel buttons as well..
PS: i sent message to the HU seller (i don't expect any answer after 3 years) because 2 years ago i chose bad MCU file and had some problems but after hal9K helped me finding the original one (i think) but i had a few bugs at the time i don't remember now, but i don't think this is the problem but if ' could find the original file i could do that aswell..
And actually i want to update to android 10 from hal9K.. but first i need to solve this problem.
Someone already had this king of problem ??
Thank you in advance.
