[Q] In-car audio and making calls... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am using an aux audio jack to play music from my Note II through my 2007 Toyota 4Runner speakers and it sounds great. However, when I answer the phone, the caller comes through over the speakers loud and clear, but they cannot hear me at all. I switched from a Note II on Sprint and had no such issues. How can I carry on a speaker phone call using the headphone jack and my car audio while still using the internal phone mic. Again, no problems on my Sprint Note II.

That's strange...I do the same thing (phone connected to aux jack), using various roms, kernels as well as stock and have never had this issue...
Might be helpful to list the things you've done/installed onto the phone for someone to help? Toggle the mute button and see if that works...

It depends on your aux cable... I do the same and I switched from a radio Shack aux cable to one off ebay and it started doing the same thing... The phone detects the cable as if it's headphones with mic

Car Bluetooth While Playing Music

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

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:
http://www.miccus.com/products/blubridge-mini-jack-rx
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 !!!

Problem with Galaxy Note Official Car Holder Audio Output?

Hi,
I just bought an official car holder for my Note and plugged the charger + 3.5mm audio jack in to my radio, my problem is that the car holder does send my music nor navigation sound nor phone calls through the car speakers, instead it goes on the Note's speaker and i don't want that! Anyone have a solution?
I had the same problem, go to Settings -> Dock and enable "Audio output mode".
I find the sound quality to be very good.
Thanks a lot!! My previous sgs 2 worked from the start thats why i didnt know what whas going on

Hi, I've had this dock a few weeks now and I think it's almost perfect. It has excellent build quality and the ease and power of the suction cup is fantastic.
My only gripe is when I set the phone to external mode for the audio it works great with music and videos, even ringtones and notifications but calls only come out of the speaker or the phone itself as opposed to the car stereo system as would be ideal.
Does anyone know how to fix this as it makes receiving and making calls almost impossible and that's one of the main reasons I bought the dock in the first place.
Just want to bump this thread, really hoping someone can help me out

3.5mm Headphone jack not registering...

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running CNA 3.4.1. I've only used the headphone jack maybe twice before to listen to music and everything worked just as it should. Recently however, i tried plugging in some regular headphones and when i played my music it came out the speakers. So i tried a few different headphones and some speakers and still the same problem. The little headphone icon that usually shows up in the status bar doesn't show up. I looked inside the 3.5mm jack and its clean, no lint, bent wires, anything. But no matter what i do i can't seem to get any headset to work. I'm forced to use my bluetooth adapter for my speakers.
This isn't a grave issue as i may rarely use headphones at all. But knowing that option isn't there anymore is just an inconvenience.
Any help appreciated. No rush. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and knows how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Turns out after trying to play music through my bluetooth adapter it doesn't work. Bluetooth is connected, my speakers are hooked up, and the music is playing on my phone. Just no sound at all. This is a big deal! It's as if my phone won't play audio through anything but the internal speaker.
Again any help is appreciated.

Return to stock ROM to see if that fixes the problems. If not, it's likely a hw issue that headphones aren't detected.

I did that and still did not recognize it. Feels like my only option left is to open the phone and see if something was disconnected or get a new one.

[Q] confused with bluetooth and audio

I have a standard att galaxy note 2, not rooted.
Typically I use my bt headset to talk on the phone. Recently I learned my car has an aux line in so I can also listen to music.
I used a 3.5mm jack for a while with respecrive rca adapter to my phone. This was nice, and added bonus if my bt headset battery died, the phone conversation would play over the car's speakers and the phone's mic picks up my voice.
The cables were irritating, so I purchased a miccus bt rx thing. Small, slides right on the side of my center console, out of the way.
Music plays fine, but cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the phone conversation onto the car speakers. Instead, the phone shifts to speakerphone. Why won't this work like the wired adapter?
Is this possible?
Thank you for your time, sorry for the silly question.
Are you sure that the phone audio option is selected in the BT settings?

Simply put, the problem is with the 3.5mm male plug that goes into the headset port. Does this new cable have 3 or 4 pins? If it has 4 pins (the regular 3 pins plus the one for the microphone) then if the resistance (measured in OHMs) isn't correct, then the phone should switch over to SpeakerPhone (as set in the firmware).
So in effect, there isn't a problem with your phone, its just that you may have a cable with the 4 pins, but since your radio-adapter isn't doing anything with the microphone portion, then the phone switches over as it is supposed to.
Edit: Ignore the above, I didn't realize you were doing this with a bluetooth connection. Your Bluetooth receiver may be outdated and not support the "handsfree" profile.

[Q] Hissing and crackling during calls

Sometimes during calls I hear a hissing / crackling noise, as if the other partys voice is getting distorted.
A restart of the phone solves the problem temporarily.
Anyone else has the same issue or knows of a fix?
Yea, i get the same issue. when plugged in to my car aux stereo its really quiet. Even on max i struggling....my M7 , S3 and S2 didnt have this on same stereo ;/

On a related note, can you report on the experience of taking a call on the G3 when the audio is run through your car stereo via aux? Can the other caller hear your voice well, even when there is some noise from the car moving? Do they hear any echo from their own voice being played over the car speakers?
Low crackling noise in headset on LG G3
When making call through the headset speaker there is a very low almost electrical sounding crackle in the back ground. Callers don't hear it just me. On speaker phone or in Bluetooth in car I don't hear it. It's present during every phone call. I bought 2 LG G3's, and black and a white for my wife and hers doesn't have this issue. All of her calls are very clear. Also today the G3 stopped recognizing my headphones, where as my work phone, a Galaxy SIII and my wife's it will. Some old iPhone ear buds work fine, I just think it's strange my newer ear buds stopped working and they still work in other phones. I have also had the phone just freeze while opening settings and making to phone call unfroze it.
