    I have a Droid 2, and I noticed this problem soon after I purchased and started using a leather carrying pouch (I used to us a snap on hard cover case and just stuck it in my pocket). I always make sure to lock my phone before putting it back in the pouch and I have a visible pattern unlock as well, but now when I take my phone off I find that the CarDock app is launched! After I hit back/home, it goes right back to the unlock screen. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advice?

    It may be a magnet that is starting the app. Does the case have one?

    I believe these phones use magnets to start the car dock, my best guess would be that your case is aftermarket and suppose they don't take into account how these phones work and how these apps are triggered.

    Yes it is your case. I went through a few and finally found one that the leather is extra thick so it doesn't effect the magnet on your Droid. Case Logic makes them. I got mine at Target for $20. They are probably at Walmart also. Go there and check them out, slide your phone in and out of them before you buy one.

    Also DockBlocker will allow you to disable the CarDock app while your phone is not plugged in.

    Wow I wouldved never imagined it was the case I wouldved still went crazy trying to figure out what it was. Thanx ill look into Case Logic products because I really do prefer the pouch over my pockets. I'm actually looking into DockBlocker right now thank you!

    It's in the manual a few times buddy . I'm also surprised no one at VZW advised you not to purchase a case with a magnet.

    Best thing I'm finding to do is just swapping out your leather case for the one designed for the phone. Thicker leather which blocks the magnet
