Just to let you you all know that there is a Bluetooth motorcycle helmet available. It's made by the good people at Dainese. http://www.dainese.com/eng/articolo.asp?cat=RACING&nome=AIRSTREAM_COURSE_Bluetooth®&articolo=1835479
I just bought it yesterday (€550) and it works pretty well. I can hear phone conversations very well (had to turn the volume down as it was hurting my ears). The people on the other end of the line did ask where I was as I did sound a bit distant. I've tested it at around 120mph and I can still converse even with the noise of the wind. I'll let you know when I'm able to go a little faster.
The only problem is that I can't play music into it. It only works with phone calls. Any tips?

I have a hands free bluetooth system in my car. I noticed that while I play music via auxiliary cord, and someone calls me, the Bluetooth isn't working. Anyone else having same issue?

I have the exact same issue in my car, tried everything to get around it. You just have to unplug the auxiliary cable when you get a call incoming.

Calls come through bluetooth if using audio through car dock.

I hope that's not the only option. I didn't have this issue with the Evo so I wonder what's causing this

Get an A2DP cd player and you don't need to worry about auxiliary. It's all done through bluetooth. This is what I got

I wonder if we can stream audio to the car using super mono app

It has something to do with TTY settings. I also have this issue.
I hope someone could figure out how to fix this. I have to take out the aux cord whenever I get a call in my G35.
*UPDATE* So I did some searching and it looks like the original Epic had the same issue but was fixed via OTA update. Hopefully Samsung/Sprint is aware of this issue.
other forums have mentioned this problem "Received confirmation from Samsung that there will be no fix for this. It was made this way on purpose. I guess the Epic 4g does the same thing. I am not buying a $400 stereo system just to use this phone properly. What was Samsung thinking? Every other Android device works the correct way."
I haven't called samsung myself but this is absolutely ridiculous if it was made this way on purpose. full thread here (well because i don't have 8 posts to this forum, i can't post the full thread link! it's on android forums at android central.com. you can access the thread by doing this search "No car kit bluetooth while Aux stereo cord is plugged in" sorry!
what possible reason would there be to have to unplug the auxillary jack to use bluetooth? it's an incredible inconvenience. and i would rather not use an A2DP adapter to play music, i'm assuming that this would eat up more battery life than using the auxillary 3.5 mm jack
anyone know of a ROM that get's past this issue?
Same situation
Galaxy S II in original car dock+cable to car audio system AUX jack
Stock ROM 2.3.4
Bluetooth Jabra BT125
It's possible to answer with bluetooth earphone, but can't hear other side, just myself.
Other side hears me OK
Try this:

Plugs in to your car deck and allows you to use Bluetooth to stream music to it.
I think you can pair both your headset or BT speaker phone and the Blubridge to your phone at the same time.

Buying something else is not a solution.
This is some type of design flaw.
What a completely useless technical support they have. "This is how the phone was designed and we cannot change that"
Last samsung product I will buy. They have no concept of customer service.
This is a design flaw. Bluetooth should be completely independant of the audio jack.
What they want is you to use the dock for use in the car so it can be hands free. Unfortunately if its true they don't intend to fix with an OTA then the only option is to use the functionality they have given you. The headphone jack takes priority over other connections in this instance. Sorry. I am sure you don't want this to be the resolution.

Take the car out of the equation. I am using a Jabra headset to take calls, but have the phone plugged into an external speaker to listen to music at my desk.
Call comes in, I have to unplug the speaker to use bluetooth.
What dock would affect this?

Similar scenario for me. I listen to Sirius/XM through earbuds at work. When the phone rings, I have to unplug the earbuds to hear through my Bluetooth headset. Then I have to tell the caller to wait while I exit the Sirius app because it keeps on playing through my Bluetooth headset.
Wrote about this issue to my local Samsung office.
Answer was:
That's the way device works. Only one source can be used: jack or bluetooth.
Not both together.
I don't have words to describe how this is lame.
Just stupid, audio should be independant of the source.
All my past phones have worked fine. Evo would pause the music, I take the call, when I end the call, the music picks back up and plays.
Terrible design, and while I could live with it if Samsung agreed it should be fixed, them simply saying "thats how it is, live with it" is not acceptable. I will not get another samsung phone because of their poor service.
Let alone the stupid kernel partition they use.
Back to HTC.

Hmm, reading the other thread got me thinking.
I know there are different AUX cables, some have two bars (looking at the male part that plugs into the jack) and some have 3.
I wonder if there is a different behavior between the two. Maybe the phone is thinking there is a headset plugged into the aux jack.
Installed 2.3.6
I can confirm that problem is fixed.
When there is incoming call, it's routed to bluetooth headset, music is shutdown.
Navigation warnings in headset are heard as short beeps.
Great !!!
I have my GNex mounted while I drive so that I can use the GPS. When I try to use voice controls on the freeway (ambient car noise is louder), I have to lean really close to the phone and yell for it to pick anything up.
Is it possible to use the heaphones/mic that came with the GNex so that sound comes out of the phone's main speakers (not the headphones), but it uses the mic on the headphones?
Might there be another free/cheap solution that I haven't thought of?
Strange. When I use it in my car I just set the phone in my lap and talk as normal (maybe a slightly raised voice) and don't have any issues. This is even the case on the highway with a relatively loud 3" turbo-back exhaust rumbling below me.
I have that problem too, I have to constantly yell at my phone while driving in the car. Any suggestions?

Haven't had any problems with yelling, but as of now the second u plug something into that headphone jack sound goes out whatever is plugged in, and you can't change the output as you would on a PC. I do use my bluetooth tho and then it'll pick up voice search and it won't push sound out anywhere except your main speaker. Plus they are dirt cheap now adays. Hell i think costco gives them out free

Ah, I didn't know bluetooth didn't push out to the earpiece. Nice. I may have to look into that
I dont know how Bounty's work on here, but I am willing to pay $20 to someone who come get this fixed.
Basically, using the Samsung OEM Navigation Vehicle Mount/Dock, when calls come in, the Call Audio comes through the phones speaker and NOT the car speakers like media does.
From what I have heard, its a kernel switch than needs to be set.
Can anyone help?
I got twenty on it.
$20 here... Don't know how this works either...
I am looking to get my hands on a really nice pair of headphones, but need it to be a pair that I can talk and still hear the other person at the same time.
The ones that came with my SGS3, when I start talking it automatically seems to give a mute effect to the person I am talking to on the phone and this has gotten extremely annoying. I am looking for suggestions because I remember that when I got my Galaxy S Vibrant it required a proprietary pair of headphones. I couldnt just go to best buy and grab a pair.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I HIGHLY prefer wired over bluetooth.
Either that or maybe I am missing some kind of setting so I can still hear people if I start talking. lol
