Connect 2 BT headsets? what about 2 headphones Via OEM cradle?

So, me and the GF have little time to watch our shows at home, I have become addicted to watching my shows on the Tilt2. I was thinking while we sit at a bar or wait around somewhere we could connect our BT headsets up to the phone and watch our shows over BT.
Sounds simple but apparently the technology does not exist. So, my second thought is that the OEM cradle that did NOT come with my phone has a 2.5 and a 3.5 headphone jack, anyone know if you can have 2 headphones plugged in and workign on this or is my best bet a mini-usb to 3.5 to y adapter? She could easily store those items in her purse (its damn big enough).
Any ideas?

No. You may only connect one bluetooth audio device at a time.

Official Samsung 3-Pin Car Dock - No Call Volume after Removal Bug

Hello all,
For those who have the official 3-pin car dock, have you experienced this problem:
After removing the phone from the car dock, if you get an incoming call you are unable to hear the person calling you. You have to hang up and call them back in order to hear them properly.
I have experienced this on ICS and now Jellybean, it is extremely irritating. I had someone call for a job interview and I could not hear them, but they could hear me.
If anyone has a fix/workaround, that would be great.
UPDATE: I suspect the issue is with having it connected to the car via Bluetooth with music playing via auxiliary via the pogo pins , after that you are unable to hear the first call through the handset after leaving the car.

Have you checked your in call volume? Since the phone fits so tightly in the dock, sometimes when I remove the phone it presses the volume rocker down and lowers all of my volumes. You might want to check to see if that's happening to you.

Thanks, I'll try check that today. I would feel ridiculous if that were the problem, but I'm fairly certain its not since hanging up and calling right back fixes it.
It's interesting that you don't have this problem, are you also connected to the car via Bluetooth? Also what ROM are you running.

Do you mean that the Official Car Dock uses Bluetooth to transfer audio? I remember that there was a teardown of the desk dock in this sub-forum (I'm having trouble finding it in, for some odd reason...) that came to the conclusion that there was no Bluetooth and the audio was transfered using the pogo pins, like it is on (as far as I know) all the other pogo pin-equipped devices. (HTC Nexus One, MyTouch 4G, Rhyme, One X, etc.). For some reason the Android blogs and these forums spread the idea that Bluetooth is used, but it appears otherwise.
In other words, would you please clarify how you are connecting an external audio device to the phone.
Thanks,

Hi,
Here is the set up in my car:
Phone dock is connected to the audio auxiliary port on the car stereo for music. (The pogo pins on the phone send audio from the phone to the aux port on the base of the dock). The Phone is also simultaneously connected to the car hands-free system via Bluetooth. In my car, music goes the the auxiliary but calls come in over the bluetooth. (My car does not have the package to support Bluetooth audio streaming, only voice.)
I hope that makes it clear?

[Q] Annoying background noise while connected to car charger

Hello everybody,
i've noticed that when i plug my DHD to the USB car charger, it begins to make an annoying background noise, just like an electric whistle.
Usually i've the phone connected to the car radio via AUX so i can hear it well.
As soon as i unplug the car charger, the sound stops.
It is not very loud but it is loud enough to make it difficult to understand some low quality phone calls. Luckly, PowerAmp and mp3s are able to cover it.
Anyone else has experienced this?
Any suggestions? I don't know...maybe i could fix it changing the AUX cable or the car charger for some better ones...
Thanks!

Odd issue..
Which ROM, Kernel & Radio?

Really?
Well, i'm sorry but i'm even happy i can fix this..
ROM: JellyTime (CyanogenMod) R30 (i had the same problem with IceColdSandwich)
Kernel: 3.0.57 JellyTime_R30 (default for JellyTime)
Radio: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M (never changed it)

Odd..
I've used a few ROMs based off JellyTime and never had this issue..
I'll flash R30 and see what happens.
Are you sure there's nothing obstructing the ports?
TheCorner approves..

You mean, like dust and dirt?
It seems clean to me but i'll clean it better with a vacuum, later...
Could it be caused by the car charger? It's a cheap one...maybe has some weird voltages or similar...

It could be because of the charger. Link to it (if you bought it online)?

Hmm... I've got JellyTime running now and a generic in-car charger in my Mum's car. Aux audio seems OK to me.
Try reflashing the ROM or a different ROM (CodefireX Periodicals if you wanna stay JellyBean)

It's most likely a hardware problem, on the charger side to be precise... Try another one...

I have recently noticed this once with my phone plugged in the car. I listen to music over Bluetooth to the car radio and only once had this issue so far. Not sure why but like you said as soon as I unplugged the power, the problem was gone. I hope it doesn't come back again

Thank you, i really appreciate you help!
I think i will do the following tests:
- Use the same car charger (and same car) with another phone
- Use the same car charger and my phone in another car
If the problem follows the car charger i will buy (or borrow) a new one.
I'm don't want to change ROM only for this issue. I really like JellyTime....i'll think about it...

I've replaced the car charger with another one (alway cheap) and it seems that the noise is gone away :good::good:
Simply changing the ROM didn't help, neither did changing the AUX cable.

Good to hear that mate.

I've had the same problem on old SE's, BB, X10, every charger (oem or plain), and almost every car.
The "sound" follows the gas pedal, like you'd have a turbine.
Simply said, adding gas sends more input to the plug than it can handle. It can't be heard until connected to speakers.
If you've fixed your dhd with a new charger, please post a link/exact model of the charger here, so I get myself one too
Edit:
" It's caused because the car charger doesn't have a dedicated ground but a shared ground."

Nexus 7 Head Unit Replacement?

With my everlasting frustrating to find a car head unit that supports Android play back, I've considered turning my Nexus 7 into a dedicated head unit. My question is in regards to what I will need to enable digital audio playback (USB audio) to my speakers and subwoofers.
I'm assuming I'll need a DAC but where do I go from the DAC?
Ideally I would like the Nexus to plug into the back of a head unit but it seems there are NO head units that support audio play back via USB with any app (Such as Spotify, AOL Radio and the stock file system).
Is there a ROM that would enable audio play back that is more recognizable via USB or is the problem still with MTP? This post is a little scatter brained so sorry for that, still trying to figure out if I want to go with the Nexus as a dedicated head unit or pair it with a head unit for simplicity.
I need the system to power a set of component speakers, a pair of three ways, and a subwoofer.

Which phone do you have and how is your head unit configured? I purchased the Pioneer DEH-X7600HD purely for Android compatibility, but when I tried it last night nothing would be detected with my Galaxy S4.
Looking forward to the reply because I am at my wit's end with this ordeal.

I have it set up with my Nexus 5 CM11, before that I had my Galaxy Nexus with CM10. Your unit looks a little more advanced than mine. I have had it about a year and just purchased the cheapest pioneer head unit that bluetooth audio and calling built in. I just stream bluetooth to it. Everyonce in a while it won't auto connect after I stop for quick gas or something but its rare.

What about USB mode? Can you only get it to work with Bluetooth or USB as well?

I always wanted to do the same but ended up always just playing through bluetooth. Now i have a new deck with a touch screen that actually has bluetooth but also built in mircast & DLNA so it will mirror devices on it's screen.

[Q] Finicky connection with car audio jack

*Edit:*
Just so those who just joined in this converstation don't get too dragged into it, I've resolved this issue simply by buying what is called a ground loop noise isolator adapter. It's main purpose is to remove the static and whining noise you hear from your speakers when you plug your phone to the car charger while connected to the speakers. But at the same time, it is keeping the signal from the aux cable of your car on "hot" so that when you plug in the phone, the phone immediately picks up the aux signal and stays connected. I basically killed two birds with one stone by getting the adapter. Here is the adapter I purchased:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001EAQTRI
I will make it clear here that this aux connectivity problem has nothing to do with how cheap or expensive your aux cable is. You can use the most expensive cable or the cheapest penny cable out there and if the problem exists between your phone and your car's aux, then it won't resolve it. Either change your car's head unit (which is a stupid thing to do) or simply get the adapter. Don't return the phone over this problem, its just a dumb move. The phone is amazing. LG will have a patch for it or someone will make a ROM that tackles the problem.

Hello all,
was wondering if anyone else with the G3 (not sure if it matters, but I have the 851 variant) is having a hard time getting their phone working with the audio jack coming from their car. I drive a 2007 Scion tC and never had any problem of weird issues connecting any of my previous phones (Moto Atrix 4G, LG Nitro HD, GSIII, Nexus 5 just to name a few) to the audio jack in my car. I'll just plug it in and it connects just fine.
But for some odd reason, the G3 is having tons of issues. When I plug in the audio jack to the phone, I see the audio jack icon pop up up top next to the clock, but then some times it will just disappear on its own. Other times, it will stay there, but when I play a media, may it be music, or video from any app, the sound will play out of the speaker on the phone and not the car speakers. Unplugging it while the media is playing and replugging it again will not change anything, but if I stop the media playback, unplug it and then plug it back in, and the icon reappears and then I tap play immediately, the audio will then come out from the car speakers. Some times I have to do this multiple times to finally get it to work.
The strangest thing is, this does not happen if I plug anything else to the G3, such as a headset or an external speaker or any other devices, only in my car. It even works fine in any other car as far as I know. I've tried different audio cables in my car but it still does the same thing, so it doesn't seem to be the cable.
Is there some kind of sensor in the phone that detects connectivity of the phone to another device? I realize that when I plug in the phone to my car, the car speakers makes a couple of whining noises before it goes quiet, sort of sending or receiving a signal from the phone.
Can anybody please help me? I want to say that the phone is defective, but I can't proof so since it works just fine with any other devices. Could it be the head unit in my car is incompatible with the phone? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks bfranklin, I didn't realize there was another thread about it. Wish all the G3 are under the same group.

I noticed i get some crackling feedback when i hit play on a track.. but then it works fine and even with moving the aux jack it doesn't keep cracking... just on initial play/loading of the music player

I have to plug the cable in very slow or it won't work.

That was my trick initially but eventually even that didn't work. Someone mentioned to try plugging in a charger first and then plug in the aux cable and that worked. But now I bought a ground loop noise isolator and that has resolved the problem completely. I also don't get so much popping noise and no whining noise when I charge the phone while the car is running. Here's what I bought:

If you use low quality Audio cables like Monster sells it will be higher resistance than a quality cable and should register without issue. The phone struggles with discovering the connection.

I'm gonna disagree here bc I'm using a cable from a Wal-Mart discount bin, which is I'm thinking the cheapest kind available, and it doesn't work right.

I was not saying that. If you use Griffen cable at 14 . or monster cable at 20. Or rocketfish at 18. They all work the same. Just not buying that it is a cable issue. Hardware more like it. I actually just order a eBay cable for .99 cents to prove this totally wrong.

This has nothing to do with cables. I literally tried over 6 different cables and nothing worked between my phone and my car's aux port. Yet I used the same cables in my friend's car (old Nissan sentra) that has an aux port and they all worked fine with the phone. Also used a cassette aux adapter kit in my gf's sister's old SUV and it works fine with it.
This is purely hardware compatibility issue. Some head unit's aux port stays hot at all times, others don't. Some probably reacts faster than others and connects immediately so the phone doesn't drop connectivity before engaging. Again, like I've mentioned, you can either circumvent the issue by using the "charge phone first then plug in aux cable" trick, or simply buy a ground loop isolator adapter which keeps the connection hot. LG will fix the problem eventually. It was an annoyance, but a minor one, and i can't be any happier with this phone despite of the connection issue.
