I have the problem where the 3.5mm audio jack doesn't work if BT headset is plugged in as seen in this thread. I usually drive with 3.5mm audio jack for podcast and answer calls with my BT headset. However for some reason the SGS2 and SGS3 has this problem of disabling BT if the headphone jack is plugged in.

I was wondering if there are any ROMS that solve this problems such as going to a CM9 Stock ICS build.
I would root and try it out myself but I am on a trial period with the phone and don't want to root and place a rom in the risk of breaking or bricking the phone.
If you guys can give me your input with ROMS that fix this problem that would be great!
Probably not because hardware connection would probably always override software.

I wonder if others are having this problem. I like to use my set of headphones with a mic using the audio adapter. When I plug it in it works fine. Now, when I unplug it and try to use the phone as normal I can't hear the person on the other line but they can hear me. When I plug the audio adapter with the headset I can hear them but they can't hear me unless i speak to the phone's microphone. It seems that plugging in the headset with the audio adapter "crosses some wires" between the headset and microphone. Using the Speaker and speakerphone works as normal. The only to resolve this so far for me has been to reflash the phone.
I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 with the latest Energy Leo Rom. Anybody else having the same problem?

the adaptor does not work with headsets with microphones, it is only for listening (I am guessing). if I did not know any better, It is a hardware thingy (adaptor is not supported) not a software
UPDATE:
Stereo Headset Adapter - HTC extUSB
Use this adapter to convert the HTC extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones.
Note: The adapter supports audio only and does not have a hangup / answer function.

Same, But Different...Bluetooth
I have had the unfortunate necessity to hard reset several times recently. This has been due to a similar problem as you are describing, however I was using an A2DP bluetooth headset. I listen to audio books while working, and it works great. Previously, I have always had it switch over to handsfree for phone conversations when a phone call comes in, then it switches back to stereo for listening. I have recently had it completely disable any audio, both incoming and outgoing during calls. It will switch back to the stereo function, and I can listen to my audio, but it will not work for phone functions. I have tried everything (reset bluetooth, unpair/repair, uninstall audiopara, softreset, disable/enable phone, etc.) to restore the functionality, with no luck. Hard reset seems to be the only solution so far.
I don't know if this is related to your problem, but I will be troubleshooting and will let you know what I discover (if anything).
The headset works when you first plug it in. Works perfect actually. It's when you unplug it things get crossed and nothing works right again except the speakerphone.
Have you noticed any difference in effect by differentiating the way you unplug the headset, ie, unplug headphones from adapter, then unplug adapter; unplug adapter with headphones plugged into adapter?
Just a suggestion, but I don't know if it will make a difference.
Hey so I've tried searching other threads for my specific challenge and none of them seem to really touch on this so here goes.
I have a Samsung Fascinate, I'm rooted and I've flashed a bunch of kernels and ROMs no problem and as far as I can tell my Bluetooth works fine and audio works fine.
My issue is this: My car supports hands free calling via bluetooth and i've paired them with no issues and have made/received calls no problem. I've also used my phone to play music through the AUX cable no problem. I know that my car STEREO does not support Bluetooth and here is where i run into a problem.
I have my phone plugged in on my way to work singin along to my favorite tune when a call comes through. But (I think) when the AUX is plugged in, it interferes with the audio when connected to the bluetooth. Basically i can hear a call coming through on my car stereo and i can push the buttons on my steering wheel for functions on the phone but i can't hear and the other end can't hear me. So i have to end up unplugging the AUX cable out then the audio returns.
First off... is it just me? did I do something wrong along my journey of flashing all sorts of stuff? cuz i could've sworn at one point (i think before i went voodoo) it was all working fine together, but i could be wrong.
So if it's not something I did, is there a headset adapter out there with controls and possibly some kinda screen for like caller id or at least current track? like something that can connect to regular earphones that has an inline mic and controls.
Unless you fine folks have a better idea I would love to hear them. (I don't have a budget for this... just want to get it working... unless it's cheaper to buy a new car that can support it all)
Thanks
I think this is a fascinate specific or limited problem

So this morning, after my usual flashing of the latest Cyanogen nightly, I noticed that my Inc was no longer putting out any audio. Without thinking twice I recovered the previous nightly, but I'm still getting no sound from notifications/ringtones, music or alarms. Thanks in advice for any suggestions.

Update: I plugged my phone into my stereo and am getting audio again, but still not from the phone itself when I unplug it again. This leads me to believe it to be a hardware issue, which is probably not an easy fix. Should I start looking for a new phone? I use it as my alarm and I need to hear my ringtones because I don't always feel it on vibrate so it's not very useful to me now...
I'm seeing a similar behavior. I have audio until I use a BT headset. Once one has been used, I lose all audio from the phone speaker (even after the BT headset is disconnected). I'll have to try a wired headset to see if the audio is redirected. Only a reboot will restore my audio from the phone speaker. If the headset supports A2DP, I lose all audio even through the BT headset.
Does a reboot fix your audio?
Reboot does not fix my audio. I figured out that it is a problem with the speaker itself, which is very easily replaced http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799592
My audio works fine when plugged into my stereo or headphones, but is intermittent from the speaker. Apparently Incredibles are known to blow speakers?
Anyone have a solution for this one?
I have a 2008 car with factory installed Bluetooth phone interface. The Bluetooth is ONLY for the phone, not music. The car also has an aux in jack for the stereo. (Know where I'm going with this yet)?
Yesterday I was listening to music using the 3.5 mm jack on the phone, and it was also connected by Bluetooth to the car's phone interface. A call came in. The stereo automatically muted like it should but when I answered the phone I couldn't hear anybody there. After 30 seconds or so I hung up.
Then it dawned on me, with something plugged into the 3.5 mm jack, the phone audio may have been routed through that jack instead of Bluetooth. BUT the car assumes that when a call comes in you want the stereo muted so it kills audio from everywhere except Bluetooth. I suppose I could have reached over and unplugged the 3.5 mm jack, but that's inconvenient when I'm driving.
So, the question is, is there any way to set up the phone to always route phone call audio through Bluetooth when Bluetooth is connected?
I have the same issue.
I listen to music in my car via a cable from the headphone jack to my car stereo's aux in. If I get a call over bluetooth, I can't hear anything. If I unplug the cable on the phone side, I can hear the person on my car speakers, and the caller can hear me via the car's mic.
Are you using the stock firmware or a custom ROM? If it isn't a problem on a custom ROM then perhaps it can be fixed. It's very annoying -- my 3-year-old HTC Hero could do this, why can't the S3?
I was told by someone with a different version of the S3 (an international one) that this isn't an issue on their phone.
I'd love to find this out while I still have time to return the phone.
I'm going to try building a "car adapter cable" that feeds audio out the USB port to see if that works, Instructions are in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395173
That could be one option. Still seems pretty lame that we have to come up with workarounds for this pretty basic problem.
And I'd love to hear from someone running a custom ROM to try and figure out if it's a hardware or a software issue.
Hi,
So I've been using this ROM for a while as a daily driver, but for all this time I've been forced to use the mighty headphone jack, which i don't mind using, but on the bus it would be very convenient to not have a cable in the way. The problem is that the headphones connect but the audio always plays through the normal speaker. I THINK I've tried everything but the entire reasoning behind this post is because I most definetely haven't. Hopefully there's a way to maybe reinstall the bluetooth driver/module?
To be fair, I can and have only tested LDAC headphones, as i only have those to try at the moment, if that's the main problem I don't even know how to switch them to SBC or another basic codec.
Thank you in advance for all the suggestions.
