whenever I plug my Tab 3 into the aux cable in my car, it does not recognize that I'm doing so & doesn't play anything through the cars' speakers. I've verified that the aux cable is good & even tried another cable for the heck of it(no luck).
If I plug in headphones though they work just fine(so I know the jack on the tab is good).
Does anyone know why this is happening & if there's a fix?

OK I just got my adapter it is the official Samsung OEM MHL adapter. I had just one problem but I now have three.
Problem #1: I am not sure if its possible or how to go about doing this. OK I use a nice 27" HP 2711x LED Monitor on my bedroom with my Xbox 360 connected via VGA, my gaming rig connected via HDMI, and now I have my MHL adapter connected via HDMI. The problem is that my Monitor is only a monitor and it has no internal speakers, but I have a pair of external speakers that I use for sound the speakers have 3 input options. I can connect directly into the subwoofer portion via the red and white RCA cables(this is how my Xbox is connected), I can connect with my basic 3.5mm auxiliary cable plugged into the speakers input jack(this is the way that I connect my phone to play music), or I can connect via the inline Auxiliary cable that the speakers have built in(which is the way my computer is connected). Im not an idiot when it comes to Tech I know that HDMI cables handle both sound and video but since my monitor only takes the video part I can't get any audio when streaming from my phone to it, so I plugged my speakers inline auxiliary cable to my phone so that the sound would reroute to it, but that didn't work either it produced no sound =/, so I also tried to just plug in my headphones into my phone and again no sound. So are there any work arounds or ways to make it so my phone will let me output sound via its 3.5mm headphone jack or even its loud speaker? Or is there a seperate cable/jack I can purchase to split the HDMI cables video and sound, and make the sound output via either 3.5mm audio jack or red and white RCA cables, and let the video output via HDMI?
Problem #2: OK my MHL adapter was working video wise but today I plugged it all up and it wouldn't work at all my monitor kept saying no input detected so I was sad and I decided to remove my phones battery to do a soft reset. And it fixed the problem so I started web browsing etc and all of a sudden it stopped working again. Is there a work around for this or reason or fix?
Problem #3: Is there anyway to make the output quality full HD? Because when I am outputting and on the browser its like the resolution is so off which results in everything being huge and somewhat pixelated.
Sorry for the length I like for my post to be as in depth as possible.

I'll try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities, as I have a MHL adapter
1) The only way to get sound out of your phone while it is connected to MHL is to plug something into the headphone jack of your phone. Hook up your MHL adapter first, make sure it is showing video on the monitor, then plug in one of these bad boys to your phone - http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...d=1021809&p_id=5604&seq=1&format=1#largeimage and connect the RCA ends to your audio system.
2) Try swapping out your charger to see if that helps. Also, make sure you are using an official charger. I had an el-cheapo chinese charger that made my MHL flicker every now and again and when I used the official charger that came with the phone the problem went away
3) There's no way to change the resolution as far as I can tell / see. Are you on a stock ROM? If no, try to flash the stock rom temporarily and see if this fixes the problem you're having. I always get 1080p (or that's what my TV says) when I hook up my phone to my TV and monitor.

I have a rooted stock SIII... When I first bought the phone everything was working just fine. I would load Pandora, plug in my phone to my car Aux jack and enjoy.
I hadn't actually used that functionality for about a week and during that time I did root my phone ( so not sure if rooting caused this issue ). Anyway, when I am at the gym, I can listen to the music just fine with my headphones. Even receive phone calls and the whole nine.
When I get into my car and plug in my phone to the Aux jack.. Doesn't work.
Here is the strange behavior though. If I take the cable ( unplugged from the car ) and plug it into the phone.. The phone reads "Headset connected". As soon as I plug in the other end... It disconnects.
I have tested the cable on my friend iPod and other Android devices and the cable works fine. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this or knows what I might be able to do.
well if the cable works fine with other devices then i would say try to reflash stock rooted rom... if that doesn't fix it which it should then i would lastly unroot and see if the problem goes away... prolly just the rom may not be reading the headphone jack voltage correctly for some reason...

Are you also plugging in the USB port to a power adapter? I've found many cars have grounding issues between the Aux audio jack and the chassis ground. Symptoms include odd behavior like you list, and weird buzz or whine in the audio when both Aux in and power adapters are used.
If this is the case and unplugging the usb solves your problem you could get an inline filter /ground isolater that will solve the problem.

Sounds like a short in the aux cable. It shouldn't show the cable connected when not plugged in to just the aux cable. Try a different aux cable.

I have had several car radios with usb ports and have been able to plug usb flash drives in and listen to the music I have stored on them. However, I have tried to do the same with my phones and never been successful. I have tried using my Vibrant, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII, and now my S4. Still I have not been able to listen to my music from my phone. I know I could plug it into my aux jack using my headphone jack but I dont want to do that. Can anyone help?
