no workaround that we might find?

If some expert guy here would know how to prevent any specific software function launch when connecting the power in this car mount accessory.... We would maximise the probabilities that everything works fine as without power supply.

The only issue would be phone calls in vertical mode only.

how about using other launcher and phone app?
I have also report to samsung australia, hope the fix it before rolling out the ICS release. The live chat support just said will forward it to the related department.

update: actually australia samsung is not selling the vehicle dock, probably they wont support it at all

The launcher is bypassed by the car accessory. When connecting power authomatically the system launches the "horizontal car mode" and vocal guidance and I'm sure this state is the one that creates the problem

My perception is that the customer service does not report problems to the HQ, I'm afraid so we should hope they discovered the issue on their own and are studying a fix

I try to disable the car mode but phone app still crash if I rotate the phone to landscape so wack! Samsung don't even test **** out when they release...

By the way I got an email from Samsung Germany,

" thanks for your request.*

We will transfer your request to our specialists and answer you when we get a feedback.*If you got more questions please contact us.*

Kind regrads from Schwalbach*

It's not much but at least I got the message across.

The same for me. The fact is that we can disable the voice commands interface, but once connected the supply plug through the car mount, the "car mode" remains on, and as a matter of fact the phone calls come in horizontal

The only way everything is working, in horizantal and inside the car mount, is to not connect the supply/audio connector!
The battery is not charging at that stage of course, the phone calls are in vertical but the navigator and all the other interfaces are working in horizontal

Till when the battery is exhausted... it's working fine :)

Let's hope for a fix (or a workaround from the XDA community) in a short time

Here is a possibly great hint!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1657814

Given that at the moment I have not got the root on my ICS, could somebody else have a try to this proposal?

It might be a workaround, while waiting for the fix!!
