[Q] Bluetooth with Aux Cable - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I saw that this had been asked once before, but no suitable answers were given unfortunately. On my old Evo, I could play music through my stereo via aux cable, and the phone would switch to Bluetooth for calls. This meant cutting the music, and transferring to both the mic and earpiece for audio omy bluetooth.
Currently, the audio on my ET4G doesn't transfer to the bluetooth headset, but instead comes out of my car speakers. Any workarounds to get the call pushed to Bluetooth when it comes in, or am I stuck just unplugging the 3.5 mm jack?
For your info, I'm currently rooted and running Starburst 1.98, although I'm willing to change that if it can help with the issue. Thanks!

I've been wondering about this too. Seems like you can still talk through the BT headset, but the person you are talking to comes through the speakers instead of the headset.
And I am still completely stock and not rooted BTW.

Hmm . . .audio still coming through speakers for me.

It works while i'm my car dock so I guess it won't work through the headphone jack

Headset question for cyanogen experts

So I got an odd thing here. Kind of dealable but not at the same time.
With the stock rom I was able to connect a 3 ring 3.5mm jack and it would not enable headset mode. It would just play sound through the headphones and the phones mic was used.
With cyanogen it doesn't seem to know the difference between 3 ring and 4 ring 3.5mm plugs. It disables the phone mic either way. Is there a setting I'm missing or will I just have to deal with not being able to use my AUX input on my car for phone calls?
Wow i have had this same problem with virtuous rom. I havnt tested it since a few updates ago. I will update if the problem still there

[Q]

Today I tried to connect my phone to the control unit of Z5500 speakers (there's a headset and source in jack). I couldn't get the 4g touch to play through the speakers. My ipod will play, so I know it works. Is there some setting that I'm missing (besides 'enable audio out when docked')?
Thanks!
Why did u mention a dock? It should be from phones audio jack out to the z-5500 audio in.
I own a z5500 also. Works fine.

Hi Shoulon. Thanks for your comments. I mentioned the 'audio out when docked' setting because I knew that wouldn't resolve the problem. Glad to hear the Epic does work with your z5500s. It may be the way I'm using the z5500s at the moment. I have it hooked up to TV via optical only...no computer (direct connect) or coax connection at the moment as I'm renovating my office.

Bluetooth Headset, Headphones and ROM

This seems specific to the SGS3 ROMs so I thought I would post here. I swear this worked fine before flashing my first JB ROM.
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 does pause the music when the call comes in.
It is as if my bluetooth headset is disabled while the headphone jack is used, even though the headset button on the in-call screen is lit up. The phone mic is used instead of my headset too.
I have tried disabling A2DP on my headset and also connecting the bluetooth headset after plugging in the headphones.
BTW, I am using PowerAmp.
Thoughts?
Uhmm .. this should be under Q&A .. NOT Development !!!!

It seemed related to the ROMs that is why I posted it here.
Still goes to Q & A section.

Headset audio jack disables bluetooth.

Anyone know how to get the headset jack to NOT.shut. down the bluetooth in phone calls? I play music through the jack when driving. If a call comes in, the call is following the earphone path and bluetooth wont work until it's unplugged.
Thanks.

Bump... anyone?
Anyone know of a rom where this doesn't happen?
I've experienced this same problem. Another irritating "feature" I experienced was when I was on a call on a headset, I went to get in my car and was expecting it to connect and switch to handsfree. I even unplugged my headset FIRST before starting the car. The car and phone wouldn't connect while the call was still going on. I had to wait until I ended my call before it would connect.
My old HTC EVO 4G would handle bluetooth switching like this so easily. Extremely frustrating that Samsung can't get it right.
From what I was able to gather via Google searches, this is a known issue and there doesn't seem to be any kind of fix. I don't think switching ROM's will help although you might want to look into CM9/10.1?

Headphone problems?

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've tried to start using my headphones. The problem I encounter is when someone phones me it rings through my headphones and my phone speaker as well. I thought it should just ring in my earpiece? The phone is stock and running jellybean. Thanks.

It is supposed to do that. E.g. you have your headphones plugged in, but you aren't wearing the headphones, you will still hear the ringtone through the speaker.
Check out my earlier thread about some AUX port and headset issues that I solved using a simple app.

In my case I'm using external speakers and mic, so when toggled, no sound at all from the phone.
