Car System - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone! I just posted a great how-to on integrating a Nexus 5 into ones car audio system (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/ultimate-car-setup-t2769972 ). Anyone have an idea on a ROM or Kernel I could use to maybe get it going on the M8 as well? The Nexus is my personal phone, the M8 is mostly for work. But it would be nice to have the option to switch them out!
When I connect the M8 it plays music fine through the DAC, but won't start charging.
Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Bluetooth /Audio etc

Hi,
Hopefully i'm about to get a desire, it was a hard choice over this and the smaller legend.
Few questions (not used android before, did have a few questions but mind is blank atm)
When connected to a bluetooth handsfree/Wireless Stereo - can you switch the audio output between BT/speaker/3.5mm? (My windows mobile phone if its connected to a BT stereo, all audio goes through that without choice. Iphones have a little button)
Anyone finding the battery life not lasting through a working day?
Know of a good note program, apparently there isnt one built in and I use my Exchange/Outlook notes and would like to continue using them / having them on mobile for reference.
thanks in advance

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.

Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?

I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

[Q] Bluetooth or car dock?

Hello my fellow Galaxy S II owners...
I have a dying Sony Xplod stereo installed in my car that only run MP3s, nothing special about it.
I want to buy a new stereo system that can pair with the Galaxy S II so that I can stream music to it and make phone calls while driving.
Since this is new to me, I would like to ask for your help figure out what my options are:
- Shall I get a stereo system with USB link? or bluetooth? and why?
- A simple research on the XDA forums says that not all Galaxy phones can make phone calls using the USB link, is that the same for the bluetooth?
I'm thinking this would be good, but I want to hear from you too, what do you think? http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-DEH-6...ef=sr_1_2?s=car&ie=UTF8&qid=1337028884&sr=1-2
Thanks,
I have both in my car and prefer bluetooth by a long shot.
To be honest I never heard of the possibility of using USB to make phone calls. As far as I knew the only thing possible with USB was to use your phone as some kind of mass storage device, where it would find your .mp3 files and be able to play them.
With bluetooth you can play everything on your phone that plays through the speakers. I use it for navigation / phone calls / radio / spotify. Also the buttons on the steering wheel of my car work perfectly for switching tracks on my phone, and the track info is displayed in the dashboard of my car.
Especially combined with spotify this is amazing. On my PC spotify client I just favorite some new songs and without having to take my phone out of my pocket the music is synced to my phone via wifi, then when I get in the car all my music is right there! You'll need a spotify premium account though, but in my opinion well worth the money.
Just make sure that when you buy your new stereo it is able to play A2DP. On my previous car this wasn't supported and this meant I was only able to use it for making phone calls.
Funny thing was that whenever I was in the middle of a phone call and my nav on my phone gave me a "turn left" notification or something it played fine during the phone call. So if you ask me this was just lazyness from the developers not to implement it. To anyone thinking about buying a new car, avoid "Blue & Me" it really is terrible.
Hope this information helps you in your decision
Thank you for the reply, now I know what I should be looking for.
I'll update this post once I get the stereo and test it
Thanks once again

[Q] Kinovo BTH220 headphone + Nexus 5 + Lollipop = Not working!?

Hi there,
I've just received this Kinovo BTH220. I've heard good reviews around.
My Lollipop is 5.01
Sadly as soon as I've paired them to my Nexus 5 I can hear use them for phone calls, but I cannot use them for MUSIC or PODCASTS.
Theorically they should work with this stuff too so I don't get what is the problem?
Does it depend on my Lollipop 5.01? My Nexus 5? Other stuff?
Thanks for your help.
Hi!
I have the same headphones and they're working really fine (and I'm too in Lollipop 5.01) but when I get the update the headphones wasn't working fine (I used to listen videos, but not music or answer phone calls), so I did a full wipe of the phone and sync again then my headphones with my N5 and everything's working fine now.
I hope it might help
I have the BTH240, and use them for music with both my N5 and my N7 without issue.

[Q] USB DAC with Mate

Hi there!
Recently, the 3.5mm jack of my Mate broke, but since I'm not really looking for a replacement yet, I decided to give the FiiO E18 Kunlun a try.
My thought was that if I could pass my audio through the usb port and then plug my headphones into the E18, my problem would be solved.
That was the case, but only partly.
The problem is that my Mate does not recognize the E18. I've now gotten it to work on only specifically this rom (downgraded from 4.4.4 to 4.2.2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p6/ascend-mate/dev-alpha-ver-3-t2858354, and I can only play music through it with this one app specifically: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro&hl=en
Being able to play some mp3 files through it is already more than I could hope for, but it could ofc still be better.
Is there any way for me to get it to work on my entire phone, or mostly specific apps like Spotify or Google Play Music?
Being able to play mp3 files and all is great, but for less I could just have bought a seperate MP3 player as well + my spotify subscription is kinda collecting dust like this
I've seen that Lollipop implemented USB DAC support, however I've found no roms for the original Mate that are based on Lollipop. Do these even exist?
Many thanks!
