I haven't seen this question addressed anywhere after a quick search - if you are using the headphone jack to connect to aux in your car stereo to play music, and receive a phone call and use the answer button on your Bluetooth headset, will the headset take over and override the headphone jack? Or will I have to unplug the headphone jack before answering? Thanks.
Yes, the headset will take over.
Great, thanks!

Hi everyone,
Is there anyway you can force the headphone profile when plugging in something into the 3.5mm socket?
When listening to music on my standard headphones, all is well but when I plug the Desire into my car radio's aux in, the phone initially goes into headphone only mode but then decides to switch to headset.
When it switches to headset, it randomly calls, skips music and stops the music. Rather annoying when your driving.
Any idea's?
Cheers
Gavin
3,5 mm stereo (TRS) type jacks do cause issues
Hi, I had exactly the same problem (see other post on this forum: 6269599 and 667240)
I guess you'll need a TRS (car stereo 3,5mm 3 contacts) to TRRS (HTC, 3,5 mm 4 contacts) adapter.
There's no issue with the standard headset delivered with the Desire
I am having a weird isssue. Just activated this phone and was using a Optimus S before this where everything worked pretty well but was slow.
I have my Motorola BT for hands free headset in the car. It's probably at least 3 years old but has always worked great with my tablets and other devices. I usually have my BT headset on in and a AUX cable in the headphone jack. I would play music from Google Play on my stereo and incoming/outgoing calls would automatically be routed to my headset. This all worked fine on Optimus.
I tried the same setup on my ET4G and when I try to make a call over BT headset I get no Audio in my headset. Also after that any music I play on Google Play, Pandora, etc doesn't get output to 3.5mm Aux jack. I pull out the headphone jack and no music is output to the external Speaker. It's as if the ET4G is possibly trying to output to my headset and doesn't let audio thru. However I don't hear any music thru my headset as it doesn't have A2DP.
A reboot will fix the 3.5mm jack and external speaker.
Any suggestions?
If you haven't already done it, go into BT settings, click on the settings for your device, and uncheck "Media audio".
Is there a such a thing as a car bluetooth mic to enhance voice input to GS3?
Basically, I have an active car cradle which uses the usb to charge the phone, I then connect an aux cable from the phone to my car stereo, this allows me to play music through my car speakers and hear any voice calls through my car speakers. This works fine apart from the GS3 mic not being loud enough for people to hear me very well, so I need some kind of enhanced mic that connects to the phone. Any ideas?
Not sure if this has been covered or not, but I recently found that a cheap AUX cable plugged into my headphone jack and into my car AUX jack didn't produce any music through my car speakers
The car "recognized" the phone and went into AUX mode, but the phone didn't recognize the car and produced sound from the phne external speaker.
I found some threads somewhere that talked about cables and impedance, but I found an easy fix: Force headset mode.
There seem to be lots of apps that will toggle your phone to force it in and out of headset mode. I picked one at random from the googleplay store which allowed me to create a widget that toggles forced headset on and off (toggleheadset2 by ddubtech.com).
I also use a Garmin Nuvi 660 as a bluetooth speaker.
When my phone is connected to the Nuvi via bluetooth I can make and receive calls through the Nuvi. When I toggle the forced headset mode on and plug into the car AUX port, I can listen to music using the car audio.
I wasn't sure what would happen if you had somthing plugged into the headset jack of the phone, but also had a bluetooth connection to a mic and speakers (the Nuvi). Turns out they work together smoothly; music through AUX pauses when an incomming call starts, then switches automatically to the Nuvi mic and speakers for the duration of the call, then automatically switches back to playing music through the car AUX audio.
I am sure this is not specific to the SGS3, but I swear this used to work with my S2.
My 2006 VW doesn't have an AUX input so I use one of the FM Transcievers. It works well.
But...I also use a bluetooth headset while driving.
What I want to happen is to be able to answer calls with my bluetooth headset. Right now while the FM thing is plugged into the headphone jack, the callers voice is sent over the headphone jack and on the stereo. It is as if my bluetooth headset is disabled while the headphone jack is used.
Is there any way to use the headphones to listen to music, but use the bluetooth headset for calls?
BTW, I am using PowerAmp.
Have you tried changing the order in which you connect the 2 devices. Try making sure you connect the transmitter before connecting the bluetooth headset. You may also need to edit the properties of the bluetooth headset and disable a2dp to prevent music from going to the headset. If all else fails, there should be a button during a call that you can use to switch between bluetooth, speakerphone, handset. Not ideal while driving, though.
One thing Android needs is a proper mixer control panel...

Actually the Headset button is lit up on the in call screen, as if the bluetooth headset is connected for the call. Unfortunately it is still routing through the headset/handset mic.
