I just got the HTC A100 for my S3 and it sounds pretty darn good! I'm not 100% sure if it's streaming in apt-x audio, i'm assuming it is? Good bass and treble, definitely worth $50. It's so nice to worry about just 1 cable to connect to the phone too, looks clean on my dashboard.

Does phone calls go through it as well or just music and GPS? I am wanting to get it but I want it to do every thing my cord does.

Wouldn't the bluetooth take of it all?

No unfortunately phone calls don't go through the speakers, you have to answer it like normal usage but I also have it paired with Bluetooth headset I use in car so it wasn't a big problem for me. In most case phone's paired with built in car Bluetooth anyways so it works fine that way too.

Do you have to connect it every time you get in the car or does it automatically connect and if you take a phone call does the music stop and start back up after? Is there any thing you really like or hate about it? Thank you in advance. I would just go buy one and try all this out myself but there is not a store here that has them.

It has built in automatic shut off to save battery life when not in use, once it's turned off automatically or manually by pressing the control button till red light blink once, you have to press the button again to turn it on and it will pair with your device. When you get a phone call music stops and plays back after the phone call. So far I don't think I find anything negative. It's very compact, good battery hours and sounds good, if there is one thing, I wish I could check how much battery life is left. Only notification is when the battery is low red led light turns on.

Volume issue...

Just recently I have noticed that whenever I unplug headphones from the audio jack, the media volume goes all the way down and I have to manually raise it. Anyone have any ideas/solutions for this?

Are you using a sense rom or cyanogenmod? On sense rom it does that to me as well, but if you use cm6 or 7 go to dsp manager and edit the headphones settings and it saves your preferences. Also try adjusting the volume settings in the sound settings instead of using the volume keys. I think this is what you're asking about.

I am using MikFroYo 4.4. The thing is, this started roughly a week ago. Prior, I have had no volume issues whatsoever.

Per chance might the quality of your headphones be dying? Or potentially a dirty jack?
Well, the thing is, it isn't when I am using the headphones. It is after I unplug them and use the built in speaker. For example, I use the aux in on my car stereo to listen to music on my way to work. When I unplug the Evo once I get to work, the media volume has essentially muted itself and I have to manually raise it.

Well if you're using a Cyanogen mod, check you sound settings in settings>cyanogenmod settings>sound
and check for the "when headset" in parameters, seems as if that may be the issue. The db could be altered via headphones in or out.
Well, I am using Mikfroyo 4.4, so I don't have that option.

Using phone audio only blue tooth for media

Would this be possible?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I'm not even sure what you're trying to do... Are you trying to stream music to something?
This should have been asked in q&a or general... But at any rate provide more info about what you're trying to do so we can try to help.
Swyped from my Thunderbolt
Ya, I wanted to know if I could stream pandora to a regular blue tooth head set. When you connect it it says connected to phone audio, when I connect to my blue tooth speaker bar it says connected to media audio. Is there a way to trick the phone into connecting media audio to a phone only BT device?

That should do what you want... There's a paid version that's only $1 but you can use the free one to make sure it does what you want
Swyped from my Thunderbolt
I've tried the super bt mono app without much luck lately. With more than one headset. Been trying to get it to work so I can integrate it with my home stereo, I know there's better options out there but I had a couple spare headsets laying around.

Seems more of a hardware issue than software to me. Did you try a pair of headphones that you know works?
Is your phone docked when you do this?

All the headphones I have tried work
And my phone is not docked when trying to play. I did read that there were problems when connected to blue tooth and aux at the same time

So far everything I have tried to plug into works so I'm guessing it could be something with my car.
Anyone else have a saab 93 and an s3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I've had my S3 since 7/1 and never had any issues. My friend just got an S3 as well and he's got a 2009 93 Aero and he has the exact same issue. We tested with multiple cables and both of our phones, they both exhibit the exact same behaviour. We've yet to figure out what causes this though. It's definitely something with the GM radio in the car as it does not happen like this anywhere else. you're not alone but dont have any answer for you.
Well at least it's not a problem with my phone I guess.
Have you tried on any of other roms, or just stock?
If you find a way around this let me know/ill do the same

Headphone audio issues

When I plug my headphone in, audio is not being routed through it; it just plays through the phone's speaker. I've tried loading up backups where the audio was working to no avail; I think this is a hardware issue but wanted to make sure. Anyone else expeirence this?
Never had the issue, Odin to stock to make sure, or try different headphone.,then if the issue persists then it's hardware

Tried that first thing, but no luck. Running stock rom as well
Interesting. When I use soundabout, I can manually force audio to be played through the headphone, and it works. Removing the headphones results in no audio unless I change the setting in soundabout.

Sometimes, there can be something stuck inside the headphone jack. Does your headphone go in all the way? You might want to to clean the contacts for the input.

It goes in all the way. Sometimes, applying a lot of pressure will cause the headphone to be recognized, but relieving the pressure makes it revert, making me think it is a hardware issue.
When I was a" tech" at verizon. We would put in/ pull out the headphone jack repeatedly(quickly) reboot. Majority of the time it worked. Hope that helps

Sounds like a hardware issue. Wouldn't hurt to buy a new headphone port. Parts for the N2 are fairly cheap and easy to replace

True, but it is the installation I am worried about. I DO have a warranty on it...
It looks like it works if I lay the phone flat and jiggle the cord a bit. I may be able to live with that.

If you have warranty, I'd most definitely get it fixed. I use my headphones almost daily so I would have gotten in fixed in a heartbeat
Have you tried cleaning your contacts? (The metal 'prongs' inside if the headphone jack.)

Tried with five different headsets already.
I took a toothpick and a wire tie to clean it out. No dirt emerged. What else would you recommend to clean the prongs?

External Bluetooth speaker issue

I would really like to find a resolution for this issue. When I use any of my 3 external Bluetooth speakers, there is a really bad delay on the audio with the tab pro 8.4. My note 2 and Nexus 7 work great. I'm running cleanrom, but it did the same thing on stock. I would really appreciate some help. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I have this issue with the Tab and my Note 3, but it doesn't really bother me that much as it's rare (and pointless) to have sound coming from both the BT speaker and the device simultaneously.

The audio and video are not in sync, so when people talk, their mouths move before the audio is played.

Ah yes, I apologise.. I use my BT speakers for music but I just tried a YouTube video and now see how bad the problem is. I am now hoping you find a fix and please share it if you do mate.

Same here
I love this tablet but small little things like this keep it from being perfect. I have a 12.2 wifi by the way.
This is an issue with Bluetooth itself. The is a lot of latency in the protocol, and even the best (aptx) you still have too much to sync with video.
