Routing calls through PC

Anyone have any idea if it's possible to route calls from my Desire through my PC in the same way that I can with the hands free in my car ?
I find that holding my phone to my face causes a pain in my shoulder which then causes me to resent the person who I am talking to and try to hang up as soon as I can.
Don't really care if it connects via bluetooth, wifi or usb as long as it works, and I'd rather not have to pay by the minute as would be possible with Skype
I have found two options -
Bluesolei which has a demo but doesn't seem to work and looks a bit flaky
HFP for Linux which looks good - most of my machines run Linux but unfortunately not the one with bluetooth and the mic / speakers
Any ideas ?

Wouldn't it be easier to get a bluetooth headset? Problably the simplest & easiest solution...
If you need to route it through your pc then again Bluetooth is the way as long as the software / stack supports the headset profile. I know bluesoeil does

Are you trying to record the calls ?

Connect the headphone Jack to the line in/out on your soundcard. Would cost you next to nothing.

I have my phone paired to laptop and Whenever I turn on my bluetooth my laptop automatically becomes a speaker but I have never tried a call to see if it also works as a microphone.

Would that clash with the speakers that are already plugged in ? I suppose I could get a usb sound card ....

usb port audio question

I know the "headphone jack" on my phone isn't functional and that I have to get a usb adapter. My questions is if I connect the
audio to my car stereo through aux input (already used with an older ipod) plugged into this adapter and I'm playing music what
happens if a call comes in? Do I have to unplug the cable and then accept the call.
A 2nd question I have is that when I receive a call it only rings once, is there a setting so it will continue ringing?
Thanks
Chris
PS bought another TP2 for my mother, just waiting for FRX07 to be released.
Thanks for the great upgrade fron WinMo!

Well I believe you could leave it plugged in, but I'm not certain the mic would work correctly... The speakerphone audio should play thru your car speakers tho. I'll have to try that.
As for the ringing, that's odd - have you tried different ringtones? I certainly have issues answering calls at times, but when it does ring it rings until the call goes to voicemail.
Also, not sure this is ready yet for your mom . My mom has a TP2, and I would not install it on her phone yet! I would like to think one day it will be usable enough for all to enjoy.

3.5mm for CDMA

you're welcome

Hey ACL,
Did you build this test kernel off Kernel 1336 (the latest FRX07 test kernel) or is it from a prior kernel that doesn't incorporate the changes? Will this be in FRX07?

Wait, what? There's no "FRX07 test kernel"... This is based off of 1333 - if you look at the autobuild service, there's a new kernel now 1337 - this has the 3.5mm code in it.

Sorry Arrrghhh, I misspoke, I meant that 1336 added some things for the upcoming FRX07 release. I was just wondering what kernel ACl built the patches off of so I could figure out what was included and not included in his testing kernel, but I had not had the chance to check the site to see there was a new kernel available that included his patches. So I will just use 1337.
Sorry for the confusion.

yes

Pretty sure god had nothing to do with it. Unless you're putting ACL on that high of a pedestal... don't let him get too big of a head now
Enjoy.

Dev of the day
Works great, I've been using the auto build kernal all day and I'm very happy that I no longer get any system panic issues after unplugging like I did when using the extusb. Good job! Thanks ACL

when using the extusb reboot the phone sometime

Do you have an issue with just the 3.5mm jack? I haven't had a single reboot yet. Please tell us what build, phone, etc...

Apparently the code to check for headset button isn't there. From a quick look at dmesg it thinks that the TRRS headset is a plain headphone, and pressing the call/answer button doesn't seem to do anything.

Correct, I guess ACL or I should've mentioned this is only the jack that is functional and the audio that routes out of it - there are no advanced features that work (yet).
Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile - fix it then!

Alarms don't seem to play over either the jack or the speaker when the 3.5mm jack is plugged in.
I tend to keep my TP2 in a cradle overnight, with a speaker. It plays white noise at night over the cradle speakers, charges, and then, in winmo, plays the morning alarms over the device speaker (can't remember if that routing is optional or automatic, but it's comforting since my cradle doesn't have battery backup).
Not trying to take a mile, just thought the mention might be helpful

hehe..
Well i dont have a headset with any advance features so i can't continue at this point until i get my hands on one. And i'm not sure of what the rhod can do even on winmo since i've never used those features.
I guess if we have an outlined goal as to what needs to be added then we can start. Right now its just plain audio

what's an "advanced" feature anyway? are they referring to button-event handling? (as in, during music playback, 1 button press on the headphone is pause, double press is skip to next song, etc...)

Yes. I believe you can also mute calls, answer calls, etc if you have a fancy headset/mic. Some have volume controls as well. All sorts of in-line goodness.

Hey ACL this is really great work on the 3.5 jack. thank you so much for getting that working i have been using it the past few days and it is great!
I will point out one thing i know there is no advanced features as of yet but i will point out that when you get a phone call and the jack is plugged in you can answer thru the phone but the mic is not active. Like my wife uses her phone in her car thru the 3.5 jack and that is how she talks hands-free but the mic does not activate when the headset is plugged in when you receive a phone call. if you unplug it the other party can hear you but as soon as you plug it in they cant. I don't think that is really an advanced feature but just thought i would point it out!
Thanks again this stuff is really awesome!
oh and we are both on rhods400 and rhod500 she being the rhod 500 but its the same on mine cuz i tried it.

Is this the same for extUSB? I guess I could try it, but I would assume "yes".

Yeah the mic should not work. What we did was actually trick the system to route sound to the headset based on a trigger. We aren't detecting the type of headset which has to be done later along with the advanced functions.

Is there any way to make it work - maybe an option to force it? The ability to use the headphone jack to drive the car audio (while leaving the mic active) is crucial to many of us. I don't care whether or not the phone detects the type of headset - I'd just like to be able to have it default to having the mic turned on rather than off.

Bluetooth and headphone jack

I have an Acura, and every bluetooth phone I have had in the past I could pair with the car, and plug in an Aux line to the headphone jack to listen to music, then if a call came in, it would come through my spearkers.
Now with the EP4g, it comes through the speakers, but no one can hear me, and I can't hear them until I unplug the aux line.
Anyone else have a problem?

i had a conference call on my phone in the car via my AUX input today. The parties were heard through the speakers of the car and they were able to hear me, but complained about a really bad echo and that I was VERY hard to hear. These in car conference calls were fine on my EVO with the same setup. I have not tried the in car bluetooth yet as I didn't think I would need it. Will be trying that next.

Just did a test with my Nissan and had to pull out the AUX cable before I could hear the other end on my speakers. The other end said they could hear me the entire time.

Something is going on with the aux cable. I really like the phone, but I don't like trying to figure **** out.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291889
I was under the impression that the mic becomes disabled when the AUX cable is in. Had similar behavior on my old Palm Centro. It went into "headset" mode and the mic turned off. In my thread, someone said that it is working fine. Perhaps there is something else causing it?
Do you use or does the Samsung voice dial app automatically launch when you put your aux cable in? Mine does. The mic does not work for it either. Maybe its the culprit?
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO

Its just an aux cable, no mic to it. I plug it in and dont see anything in the status bar and no apps launch.

Right, but when the AUX cable is put in, the Microphone on the epic is disabled, at least that's my working theory. IDK, maybe its just something with mine, but at the moment, no-one can hear me when the aux cable is installed, and i cannot use the voice search applications
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO

I will give that a try, any idea what that mode does? Manual doesn't really help.

VCO stands for Voice carry over. I could be wrong on the exact purpose, but i understand that it is designed to allow those with hearing impediments but capable of speaking to use their own voice while their speaker is hooked up to another device to assist in hearing.
Basically, it keeps the microphone on the device "ON" while the audio is outputted to another device. In our case, the car speakers.
Otherwise, when the device is outputting audio, it is looking for another source of voice input. If you car had a hands-free option built in, it would work just fine without changing the setting as the voice input would be coming from the hands free option.
Just a guess really. Glad its working for me, hope it works for you!

Yes it wierd, My car does have bluetooth built in, but when the aux cable is plugged in it doesn't send sound to the handsfree. Not sure what the issue is.

Can anyone also confirm that this works?
I have an iphone 4s right now, but I really want to go back to android and get a GSII, but that bluetooth problem was a big hassle when I had the Epic 4G. However, with the Epic 4G, someone wrote an app that would allow you to reroute sound through bluetooth with the aux was plugged in. I'm hoping there's a fix out there...

[Q] Making calls using a headphone without built-in microphone?

I am looking for a solution which can be (just) a setting or an extra app.
I don't like the sound of the stock headphone, so i listen music with another headphone but it doesn't have a microphone on it. if i got a call while listening music i have to remove the headphone and then use the phone without them.
here is what i am really looking for:
-is there a setting which we can tell the os/phone that the headphone we are using has or doesn't have microphone. so that we can use phones microphone.
-is there an app which can tell the os/phone that the headphone we are using has or doesn't have microphone. so that we can use phones microphone.
Thanks.
