Root Holder putting X into Multimedia Station Mode

Sorry if there's something else out there, i've looked and didn't come up with anything. When i put my X in my verizon holder (has a magnet flap to close) the phone goes into multimedia station mode. This didn't happen on froyo. I'm running the 2 part rooted gb from tbh. When i was testing out cm7, it also didn't happen. Is there a way to turn this off or disable something?:confused:

Thanks!!

If you're rooted you could find the dock app and rename it so that it can't even start.
 
This used to happen to me in FROYO (rooted and unrooted) and happens right now with the OTA GB. I think it does it when the screen is on, not locked. I believe if you turn the screen off, it will not do it. When I first got it I found out that if you put it in the case with the glass facing in it will go to Car Dock mode! I don't want to get an app to keep it from going to dock mode because I have and use the MM dock.
 
The Droid X is designed with a magnetic sensor that detects the presence of a docking station. When the magnet in the docking station gets close enough to the sensor in the phone it will trigger the docking mode.

Your best option is to just buy yourself a cell case designed without the magnetic flap. You COULD get an app from the market to stop it but why clutter up your phone with another app running in the background. The best DX phone case on the market is the Otter Box. A friend of mine has one and wouldn't know how to carry his phone without it.

I know how it's designed and i know how it works, i'm just saying, little over a half year with it never happening on froyo and over a week on cm7. It happens every single time i put it in the holder with TBH rooted GB. I'm not trying to argue or anything, i'm just curious why it would be that way, lol
