[Q] For the official ICS user with official car mount

---

Hello, after the official ICS update for Germany gnote its nothing but problems for me, unstable and slow not impressed at all.

Today I ran into phone app crashing constantly. I'm using Samsung's original Gnote car mount and I have it set landscape view as most of us do. When I got a call while driving I noticed the whole screen went BLACK! couldn't see who was calling and wasn't able to click anything... Few seconds later got a notice saying android phone app had crashed! Wtf.... So I wondered if this only happens in landscape view? What do you know, it was! When the phone is in portrait view phone didn't crash at all...

So I would like to find out if this is just happening to me only? Please if you own a Samsung gnote official carmount and if you have updated your gnote to Samsung's official ICS update (germany) try to make a phone call while your phone is in landscape view.

Please let me know thank you for your time!

Update: I'm sure many of us reported germany samsung this issue but what the hell I did it this morning as well included with video. I hope they release fix soon.

You are using Samsung's original galaxy note car mount? This glitch is only when using Samsung's car mount in landscape view using phone app

Yes, here is from Italy another "unlucky user" with the same problem!!!

German Galaxy Note with stock ICS - German version and original Samsung car mount...

Exactly the same problem, with dark screen and com.android.phone terminated and instability

I made a couple of times re-flash also starting again from GB and updating again to ICS... NOTHING always the same mess.
I spent a lot of hours to be at the same page

The crazy thing is that the issue is only if connecting the chip that powers the phone. I mean that just keeping in horizontal without power supply everything works. When plugging, at that stage it is the voice car mode that creates the trouble! But if you just use the voice interaction without putting in the car mount... everything is working fine again, either in vertical or horizontal positions

The difference I noticed is that the car mode icon appears, and at that stage we are in trouble. I couldn't find any parameter to avoid that plugging the phone in the car mount this car mode is activated, otherwise the bypass would have been easy, given that I do not use the voice commands...
