Ive noticed that the microphone is being disabled when using my 3.5mm audio cable. Its easier for me to update my phone than it is my car stereo, so bluetooth is not an option. Id like to be able to be hands free while driving like my evo3d allows. I dont know of an option to enable it, anyone have any ideas?
When the cable is in, it seems the mic is disabled in all apps. Voice search wont work, phone wont work... Bummer!

the speaker is on by default and you can't turn it off
Issue Fixed
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
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

you guys got it figured out yet, got the same problem
and havent found a solution....
did a search within the ET4G forums with the term "headset" and this is the best result..
I have been having a problem with using 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously and was wondering if there is a problem with my phone or bluetooth devices or if this is normal/expected.
I have bluetooth in my truck (2012 GMC 2500HD) that only works for phone calls. I also have a bluetooth adapter that I plug into the cigarette lighter for music. The adapter is capable of playing music and working for phone calls, but I have the headset profile turned off in my phone for that device so only the headphone profile connects.
On their own, each device works fine, but with both connected the vehicle bluetooth continuously connects and disconnects. Has anyone seen this before? How can I go about troubleshooting and fixing this so I can use both?
I have a stock GSM Nexus on 4.0.4.

In my Camry I use built in BT for phone calls and plug in a BlackBerry Gateway into AUX port to stream music. So 2 BT devices are connected at the same time.All is working well, meaning when music is playing and the phone call comes in, Nexus switches to the correct BT device. The only issue I'm having is that sometimes I have to manually connect to the Blackberry gateway.
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of afraid of that. Unfortunately it seems like it is the vehicle bluetooth that is the problem, the one that I really can't replace or do anything with.

Thanks for the feedback. I will do some testing with other bluetooth devices and my wife's iPhone to see if I can mount enough evidence to convince the dealer it is a problem with the truck and not my phone.

When I connect to media audio via bluetooth in my car, I can only get audio out of the left side speakers. This is repeatable on different apps that play music. When I play a radio station in my car I get sound out of both sides.
What can I check to help diagnose this problem and hopefully fix it?
Thanks.
Does anybody else have this problem?
Does your car audio system support A2DP stereo Bluetooth profile ? Probably it does, otherwise I don’t think you can stream audio with just the Hands-free (HFP) profile (which is a low quality link meant only for calls). Mine works fine in stereo with my car’s audio system. Try deleting all the BT settings from your car and initialize everything from the beginning.
Iam verry sure that your audio car not support A2DP because in my car i can use for stereo...try to see the specification for your car audio bluetooth..

It works fine when I use my Galaxy Nexus. This makes me believe it supports A2DP. This problem is unique to the One X for me. Did I get a bad phone?
Also, when I crank the balance over to the side that doesn't work I can hear it a little bit, but it's crackly and distorted.
EDIT: Problem solved. Re-seated the wiring in the sound system and everything is fine now.
Does anyone have a car stereo with a USB port? If so can you elaborate on what that is like to use? I am purchasing a new unit and that feature is one I do not truly understand. A few questions I have are listed below, but feel free to add anything else you think might be useful in making this decision.
1: Does the phone charge while connected to a USB port on a stereo?
2: Can you use the file system and player controls through your stereo or do you have to control the music and other audio through the phone itself?
3: Does the audio work from all sources with a USB connection(for example phone calls or turn by turn), or will it only play music player audio?
4: If you do have access to the file system from your stereo, will it display song titles and artist info etc? How cumbersome is it do control this way?

It would be helpful to know what actual head unit you're getting. But I will try to answer most of the questions as best I can since I have a fairly new Pioneer HU.
1. Yes, but it only charges on "USB" mode, not "AC".
2. Yes and no. The Pioneer HU that I have does NOT support MTP mode (which is what Jelly Bean, and I believe ICS) uses. Basically MTP is the protocol for storage on the Galaxy Nexus. If you can find a ROM or Kernel or any way to change the mode to "Mass Storage", then you'll be able to browse the file system.
3. Only music (or whatever else is inside your MP3 file). When you connect to your HU through USB, your phone basically turns into a flash drive. From there you have to navigate to your "Music" folder and tell it what to play. The only way to do calls, navigation and music at the same time is to use Bluetooth or a 3.5mm cable with an inline mic.
4. It displays what is inside your ID3 tag inside the MP3 file. So basically, if you have all the info filled in, then yes, it will display it. As far as how cumbersome it is, it takes some getting used to, but not to bad (on Pioneer, I have no idea on any other brand).
Short answer: Unless your stereo support MTP or you can find a way to force "Mass Storage" (which I'm not familiar with a way how), your stereo will only charge your phone. It sucks, but that's the way it is.
Pioneer has the app radio which will control your phone and also allows you to use Pandora on the actual H/U. That said I have never used it nor do I plan on it as its a dual din and I am just happy using bluetooth.
I have a JVC unit that works great with my nexus running linaro aokp jelly bean. The unit is x50bt. It will not play through USB only charge. However it is Bluetooth enabled so it can play anything including you phone calls through your car stereo. I have it setup so that my phone auto connects and plays Pandora automatically. The head unit displays song title and artist and also allows u to thumb up or down using the remote conyrol. I also have playlists set up in power amp for my MP3s. The built in equalizer in power amp along with the equalizer in the head unit work well together. I have the USB cable in the rear USB port so it is hidden in my CRZ. The tiny Bluetooth adapter is in the front and does not look out of place.

Per your suggestion, I purchased the X50BT. I am not disappointed. As you said, it does not support MTP, however I have a tiny 32gb Flash Drive(about the size of the Bluetooth Dongle) inserted in the front and the audio quality is simply breathtaking. I have my phone set to auto-connect via Bluetooth, which it does seamlessly. It even connects for audio however the BT audio stream sounds terrible when compared to the USB audio from the flash drive. I don't know if that's a limitation of my phone, the technology or the unit but it hardly matters since I can fit all of my music on the USB drive anyway. I just have to use Bluetooth or the 3.5mm jack for Pandora. Thanks for the suggestion, I really love this head unit!

If you're rooted, you have to tweak the Bluetooth sound profile using voodoo or DSP manager for example (which one your kernel allows).
You could add some "gain" amp or reduce the "Mids" and raise the "Bass"..
I have a different sound presets for the:
-Phone speaker (added some mids)
-Headphones (optimized for my Sony headset)
-Blueooth (lots of bass and "Rock" setting, sound is pretty good)

I just wanted to point out that even if you found a way to force USB Mass Storage, it is unlikely that your radio would be able to read the filesystem. Most radios will only read FAT file systems, while the Nexus uses EXT3 (I think, could be 4). So Bluetooth/AUX are really your only options.
Gnex to HU

I just installed an Alpine HU, It is also does not support MTP. I really like using the Bluetooth but have found that I have to reboot my Gnex and or restart my car to get the Bluetooth to sync correctly. USB does charge but it is slow. One thing to look for is Bluetooth Parrot.

I have found if you just toggle the Bluetooth on and off on your phone it should sync.

I am finding that it is more of how my HU looks at my blue tooth. Thus restart car. I am wondering if it has something to do with Android BT. My gnex has worked this way with multiple roms and BT enabled HU.

I bought a cheap stereo from Wal-Mart a Dual stereo with Bluetooth, takes a SD card, front and back inputs and satellite compatible. It has the USB plug that charges but like the others, doesn't read the memory on the phone. I stream through Bluetooth all of the time with Spotify. My son's Galaxy SIII can connect too if I turn mine off without changing anything. It was a great investment. It is a convertible and the microphone works great at 70mph with the top down. For $118 I am very happy.

I don't believe the Galaxy Nexus will work with the USB of many head units since the Nexus uses MTP instead of UMS.
Hopefully someone can come up with a UMS for the Nexus.

I think the better way would for HU to be able to connect like they do to Apple products and have MTP support.
HU
I know that JVC / Ken-wood have apps for android. Looked more like a HU controller rather then playing from android. Never tested.
I think I figured why my USB isn't connecting from the AVH 4000 NEX to my galaxy note 3 SM-N900. It's possibly due to the MTP mode. I believe if the was a mass storage mode that will work, kinda like a USB stick. I don't think the firmware in my HU is properly picking up MTP, all it does is charge the phone. You need a kennel that has UMS enable for mass storage however the international note 3 SM-N900 currently does not have such kernels. There is only 3.... To my surprise. Maybe the last time I ever go with international models again. If anyone finds away around this let me know thanks.
My car does not have USB or card reader, but aux line!.
So I decided to go cheap and buy a Vieta FM Car Transmitter and BT Handsfree unit, and I does a decent job.
Perhaps in a future I'll go for a Parrot...
