or it could be the charging port in the bottom is dirty and corroded(sp)

does the battery have the tell-tale water damage sign - the pink colored dots? that's been rumored to kick the lg's into car kit mode.

sounds like it might need the software flashed, take it to a verizon corporate store and have a tech look at it. that would be your best bet.

So, for the second time in two months my phone hates me. The first time the problem worked itself out after a few days, but this round seems to be never ending. Out of the blue my phone displays that it is in car kit mode... and I cannot deactivate it no matter what. Needless to say, when I make outgoing calls I cannot hear anything,nor can I hear when someone calls me because my phone thinks it's ringing to the speakers in my car (which I have never connected it to). Is there anything that can be done, other than getting a different phone?
