[Q] sennheiser hd598 with the s3? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi everyone, I have a question about pairing the sennheiser hd598's I plan to get soon with my t999. I know I can just plug it in with the cable converter it has to the 3.5mm headphone jack, but I plan to get a usb dac/amp for it to improve sound quality. I've read up on this a little bit and I got that it was not possible to bypass the internal amp/dac in android phones, except past ics. I couldn't find if it has been fixed on the latest devices, but if it is I have a few questions. What amp/dac should I buy, what cables/connectors do I need to connect it from amp to phone, and what do I need to do with my phone to let it do all of this? If it means anything, I have cm10 installed and with leankernel. I'm a bit of noob with this kind of stuff, so if you can help me please give me somewhat easy instructions on how to do so. If this has already been answered please link me to the thread. I'm very sorry if it has. Thank you.

Nevermind. Found out on my own. Mods please take this down.

Dash Headphone issue

Hello everyone:
I did a search and didn't find anything, but if I missed a thread about this, please point me in the right direction.
I bought a Dash off eBay quite a while ago and flashed it with a standard HTC ROM (1.27.405.1), it is on Rogers in Canada. Everything works fine except I cannot get any headphones to work.
I bought an adapter off eBay (Actually 3 adapters now). They are extUSB to regular headphone adapters. I plug them in but the music still keeps coming from the speaker on the back.
Am I the only one having this issue? Is it possible I have a defective unit in some way? I find it unlikely because USB Sync / Charging works fine.
Any ideas, I really want to use this phone as an MP3 player.
Thanks,
Matt
go to this website and let me know if the audio drivers here helped.

Buy a Bluetooth Headset Stereo, it works very well.
I got the Sony Ericsson HBM-DS970 and the sound is pretty good

I get "Your phone already has the latest drivers installed".
Any other suggestions?
Same problem
I am having the same issue with my S620 and I don't know what to do. Can anyone give a noob a hand...
Try a new ROM.. if not, it's probably a hardware issue.
make sure your extUSB looks like the picture below. The normal miniUSB does not work.
It does look like that picture and what rom do you recommend I use?

I'd recomend a BT headset or going for a HTC set of headphones or getting something like this and using a "normal" mini jack headphones
well I have tried some different roms like you all said but nothing helped. I would get the HTC headphones but kinda strapped for cash, anything else you guys might recommend?

Custom making a docking station

Ok here we go,
I have a MDA compact III which i have taken apart and am in the process of manufacturing a new custom case for, this is something that i notice not many people seem to do, at least i havn't seen any photos of someone doin this - maybe someone else should give it a try and post something... i'll post images of mine when i'm done.
Anyway what i really wanted to talk about was a custom docking station i want to make. i intend to use the mini USB port on my phone for both a method of charging through my computer but i also want to use it as the hands free... but this is the tricky bit... i want to use my computer as the hands free device i.e. use the mic and speakers connected to my computer all at the same time while charging my phone... sounds complicated ay? this is why i need your help... i can manufacture the dock and everything else but the hardware/software issues im well not that great at... please help and maybe give it a try yourselves... it'll be cool to see what everyone comes up with!
Cheers, Benjamin

i like your attempt...sounds damn interesting...i'm afraid i can't help you much about the handsfree thing.but i'd like to see some pics of your modded or custom housing. and by the way i'm not sure any device supports that kind of handsfree ,for now,at least over usual usb connection with pc....but nothing is impossible

Maybe you need something like that : http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Headphone-4...yZ150774QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Or alternativly that one : http://cgi.ebay.com/3-in-1-Stereo-a...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
so you can transfer the sound from your artemis to yous PC and at the sametime sync/charge it!
you know what, i reckon that might work, i could take a feed from the mic and also use the 3.5mm jack run through my amp to my speakers. i had hopped for a software alternative using the USB port, but on further thought and now i've seen this device i think this is the only way that i'm going to be able to do it. thanks for your input, i'll purchase one of those adapters and post what i come up with.
Cheers,
Benjamin

[Q] Car Bluetooth issues

Hi
Please can someone help me, I am not able to play the music i have on my HOX on my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2008. I have an unrooted HOX and considering to root it. I do a lot of travelling and would love to listen to the music on my phone via bluetooth on my car. I am able to pair with the car, but only calls work, but not music.
I bought a device from ebay and the same thing happened, not able to play music only calls.
I bought a second different device, and still the same issue.
I do not feel like purchasing another device and i need to apologize in advance, I am a complete noob (but willing to learn i can root my phone, managed to root my old HTC desire) and i have searched the forum for 3 weeks now and i cant find any topics with similar problems.
Please can someone tell me, is it a HOX issue, or a Rom issue, do i need to root my phone and what ROM will help me fix this? Any help is highly appreciated

[Q] 2011 A5 Android MMI compatiblity?

I have an A5 2011
And i am trying to get it to work with my Note II. My car came with a MMI to iPhone Cable and it worked on an iPhone but
When i made the move to Android i thought that all i needed was a MMI to USB cable but when i plugged it in it says device not compatible but the MMI to USB cable will work on a USB flash stick. So i am wondering if i can use a hack or app to make my phone look like a USB flash drive to make it work Or if there was a USB to Bluetooth solution for my car. Please if anyone can help me as i am using for now using a MMI to 3.5mm cable but the quality of the sound is not as good and i can't view and music on screen like when i have a flash drive. Thank you !

How can i fix this? Is there and app i can download to make my phone look like a flash drive to the MMI or a hack? I head i can use a usb to iphone bluetooth adapter and just pair it with my phone. Do you think that is possible? Whats my best option other than MMI to 3.5mm jack.

If you want help, you need to ask something that actually makes sense. Are you saying that you have a 2011 Audi A5? You're getting an error in the car or on the device? What are you saying?
Thank you for letting me know. I am bad at expressing my self though text and i did rush though it with out reading it. I hope you can understand me now. Thank you for trying to help.

[Q] Newbie pre-purchase N7 2nd gen questions, intended use = car stereo head unit

Hi all- pointed here from a friendly person over at another website forum.
I got interested in the idea of using an N7 as a head unit (car stereo replacement) shortly before the 2nd gen devices were released. I decided to wait, but when they were released I was reading lots of bug reports, and decided to hold off. Now that it has been a few months, I'm looking at it again and am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or answer any of these questions. I did a general search, and also searched this website before posting, but I haven't found anything definitive.
The intent of the unit would be to provide googlemaps and mp3 audio. N7 would be slaved to my phone, so the wifi model is fine. My current car radio does not have an audio input, so this would be a complete replacement including a small amp
My questions:
1. Are the N7 2nd gen original bugs (GPS and ghost touch) completely fixed now?
2. Is anyone aware of any how-to or walkthroughs specifically using the 2nd gen N7 device as a head unit (replacement car stereo)? I found a couple of posts from right after the release saying that they couldn't find an working image (root? kernel?) to allow simultaneous USB charging and USB audio out. I haven't been able to find any posts where people have figured out (and explain) a way around this.
3. From what I understood from the G1 postings, the root was needed to enable the USB audio out, but I read a non-headunit post that claimed this capability would be embedded in Kitkat... but haven't been able to find any confirmation
It is quite possible that I'm just not searching the right terms, so I welcome better search terms to use (vs "Nexus 7 2nd gen head unit") or actual links to pages that either show how to convert a N7 2nd Gen to a head unit, or that are current and describe the remaining problems so I can follow those threads,
Thank you!
I've been able to get pretty close using the elemental x or glitch kernels with either PAC ROM or cyanogenmod.
I have still not found a working way to charge with otg that is enabled when power is added to an already plugged in cable. You can get charge with otg working, but only when you manually plug the connector into the nexus 7... This is not a working solution for a car install.
Check out the elemental x thread for flo and deb as some folks are working on this as well.
I just did a search on youtube which threw up a load of vids of various car installs. there may be links in those vids.
also try searching for 'nexus 7 car install'
Heres some i found, some old some new but interesting. I'd love to do this but I'd break something.

This looks so cool....
http://nexus7.wonderhowto.com/how-to/turn-your-nexus-7-tablet-into-futuristic-heads-up-display-hud-for-your-car-0148499/
I bought two nexus 7's, one for me one for my dad. both had the screen ghost problem where random keypresses would occour. updating the software solved the problem for one but the other I had to exchange. other than that I'm really happy with the tablet and can highly recommend it.
Make sure you show us your install!
