Navigation screen keeps popping up

Could you tell us a little more? What device are you using in particular? Have you installed any apps lately that may have caused this, particularly a launcher?

 

Car docks do this, using a coding of their microUSB connector to launch the phone in car mode for starting a nav app.

Fluff, dirt or a bend pin on the phone's microUSB connector could cause such a coding, having the same effect ... so you might have a close look.

i think by describing a little bit more can definitely help any one to be telling you more specifically and any might be able to tell you for how to go with your problem.

It isn't Maps Navigation (the blue arrow), it is HTC Location with its own navigation.
Go to Settings, Apps and look for Locations and then uninstall its updates.

Other option could be, when this Location app pops up, to open its Settings (to see in your picture). There might be the option to uncheck the automatic starting in a car dock (this was possible in a android version of the DHD before its last Android version).

Other option I remember, might be the app 'Dock No-Op' or 'Invisible Dock'.

Note, this might prevent the unwanted starting of the Location app and so treats the symptom, but the basic cause of the issue I've discribed in my first post above.

BTW, I'd a DHD a few years ago and I'd this issue too.

No, you can't delete the app without been rooted. But you can uninstall the app's updates.

The option for unchecking automatically start of Locations did vanish with the latest Android update of the DHD, so I think you have this version.
So you might try these apps I mentioned (free in Play Store) which suppress the automatically start of the app.

... and your DHD's microUSD connector is clean you said?

I'd a look at my old DHD ... and noticed I've this mixed up.
My DHD hasn't its latest Android update, so it has the option 'Dock' in its Settings. And Dock let my uncheck the automatically start of the HTC navigation.

My second mix up is the name of the HTC navigation, it has the same icon as Location, but with a green arrow added and its name is 'Car Panel'. And there is a widget named 'Navigate' with the same icon.
So uninstalling updates and data clearing should take place with Car Panel, not with Locations.

Maybe you'll find Dock in your DHD's settings and Car Panel in your drawer, but I think it's not that easy ... good luck

Did you've the same close look at the cable's microUSB connector?

By chance, are you using a miniUSB to microUSB adapter?
Some of this adapters are jumping pin 4&5, that's the coding which forces the phone in car mode.

Harry

 

To be sure, could you try another cable?

Harry

 

I see ... okay, another cable wouldn't change the issue.
