Aux problem with car - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So I went to play music through my cars, aux input for the first time and it does not work.
The headphone icon appears In the upper left and then it disappears right after. When I hit plat the music plays out through my phones speakers.
I have tried 2 different aux cables with the same result. I anyone else else having this problem or know of a fix?

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?

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

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.

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.

Broken Headphone Jack

So I plugged in my headphones and the right earpiece is not working. I thought that the headphones were broken, then I tried it with my iPod and it works perfectly. I tried restarting the phone, I also checked all settings regarding sound including the sound balance on the accessibility settings but all of them are in correct settings. I tried using 3 different headphones but the output is the same, no sound on right earpiece.
After a day I tried it again. The right earpiece is now working but with uneven sound. The volume is low more like 50% of the volume.
Today the right earpiece is not working again. I tried plugging my phone to my desktop speaker and it's the same, the right speaker volume is so low while the left is working 100% fine. It seems that the right piece volume is so low that you can't hear it on the headphones.

[Q] Headset Jack Issue

Hello XDAers,
Currently, I have an issue with the headset jack. When you plug any headset to it, when it gets tilted slightly to the right, only one side works. I've tried multiple headsets with the same issue.
My question is:
- is there any way to manually fix it? (Parts, DIY, etc.)
- would warranty cover this?
- has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

Would you be able to post a pic? Like is it noticeably tilting to the right if you look at it?

The tilt is unnoticeable. Though I will post pics later when I get home.

sounds like a pretty simple hardware issue. Warrenty should cover it as long as it wasn't damaged from dropping/pulling the headphone jack out funny

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?

The only Bluetooth issue I've had is when WiFi scans. It take power from the Bluetooth side. Power management is a gripe for me with this phone.
