Dock mode while using magnetic charging

[Witherx]

I've noticed that whenever I connect my phoine to a magnetic dock, my phone sorts of changes mode. I.E im using the app Themer, and whenever I connect my phone Themer restarts. It can get especially irritating at times, espeically when it interrupts what im doing, such as gaming. 

Is there an option anywhere to turn off the magnetic charging dock mode? I've looked everywhere but nobody else seem to be mentioning the issue or providing any solutions for it.

Try settings-apps-all-smart connect,clear data.Restart.

I suspected smart connect initially too. Checked that there was nothing under charging dock before.

Just tried what you suggested, still having the same issue 😕

Boot in safe mode and see if the same occurs:

this seems to be the issue with multiple apps and games, I can say that Ingress, maps, etc will restart if you connect/disconnect the dock, I can't say this will happen 100% of the time but it does occur quite often

I just discovered a new problem with my phone while booting into safe mode. I can select any launcher; choosing simplke home or xperia launcher gives me the message "unfortunate, XXX has stopped"

I have no problems with normal usage however.

I'm afraid it's not possible to disable this behaviour. It's up to the app in this case to handle the change in device configuration: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/runtime-changes.html
