Hi All,
I have a Scosche BT adaptor in my car so I can play my 8525 through the car radio.
The Scosche adaptor is powered only when the ignition is on so each time I get in the car I have to connect to it from my phone. I go into the BT settings, select the Scosche adaptor and then select Set as Wireless Stereo.
This works but I wonder if there is a quicker way to connect up with the car or if it can be automatic? If I do not select it manually it never makes the connection (as indicated by the flashing light on the Scosche box).
Should there be a way for this to automatically connect when available? Or will it always require the selection of Wireless Stereo since there could be more than one?
The other drawback is that Pocket Player will not switch to use BT as it's output unless you start up Wireless Stereo prior to starting Pocket Player.
Anyone come up with a way to toggle audio output between BT and internal?
It would be nice to have an app I can map to a button to toggle to/from BT.
Thanks.
Try the A2DP Toggle Today Plugin. It's a bit of an eyesore on the Today screen, but it gets the job done. Let me know if you find a better solution.
I received the car dock yesterday and am having an issue that might be a deal breaker for me.
I am using Juggernaut v5.0 (rom and the kernel that it comes with).
Videos and music play fine through the speakers, but calls are not. I looked at all the settings that it could be and cannot seem to find it.
When docked and I get a call, its through the speaker of the phone only and NOT through the cars speakers like music and videos do.
For those that dont know or dont have the dock, your car charger and auxiliary cable plug into the dock itself and everything runs through the charging port of the phone.
I need to be able to hear my callers via the car speaker when docked or I might have to run the dock.
Any help or suggestion(s) would be grand. Thanks for your time.
Or does anyone have a stock t989 and also own the Samsung OEM Navigation Car Dock that can verify that the stock rom gets call audio through the car speakers when docked?
Weird, I flashed this today and still no Call Audio through the car speakers when docked.
I hope there is a fix very soon. Kind of makes the car dock useless.
Did you checked that:
settings; dock settings; audio output mode. I had the same problem before.

Yes, first thing I checked.
You are able to get Call Audio out from the car speakers when docked?
Hi, FYI have the very same issue with SGS4G with stock (T-Mobile) Gingerbread and its OEM Samsung navigation car dock/mount; I would therefore assume this to be a common Samsung issue
Check this post... We've got a discussion on this going on...

I am running CM9 alpha 3 and I'm absolutly loving it. It's great ot be able to get audio through the car dock with no extra installs. I also found Car Dock Settings that allows for automatic volume maximization on docking like Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector does for custom kernels.
I also have the Multimedia Desktop Dock for my desk and unfortunately I haven't been able to get sound out of the 3.5mm plug. Does anyone know if that is possible and how to make it happen?

I'm also having the same issue though i'm not a epic 4g user. does car-docking direct you to different screen like car mode? as you know, media dock directs you to desk clock. I'm trying to merge those two dock options into car-dock as a temporary solution. does cm9 has car mode? i don't have a car dock but only media dock

It has car mode because it shows the steering wheel icon in the notification bar but it doesn't take you to a dock app. I don't like the car dock apps so I'm actually fine with that.

well then pretty much the solution would be merging desk dock mode into car mode so that it recognizes it as car dock temporarily. Thanks for your answer I was trying to know it before I really spend my time to fix it. Hopefully it works...
Did you manage to get this working? I have the same problem on my i9000.
I have the same issue with the multimedia dock. It works fine on AOKP, but I don't know if it's kernel or ROM related. Might even be audioflinger. Think I will try and push a couple libs from AOKP and see if it changes anything.
Hi,
I use an iBolt xPro dock in my car, and want to listen to the audio through the dock - that works perfect. But also I use a Plantronics headset for phonecalls (in and outside the car), but when I remove my S3 from the dock I also listen to A2DP-music via the plantronics. And here is my problem:
Is there a way to automatically switch in bluetooth settings only the A2DP-mode off when I dock my S3 to the iBolt, and switch it on again when I remove it? It needs always several steps to switch it manually. Any ideas?
Thnx
Chris
Does G4 has car mode? Is there appropriate cable, car dock?
Also interested in knowing this.
I just got my Sprint G4 and Car Mode is working fine, including "home" going back to the car dock app. I'm using Car Dashboard for the app. I'm also using Bluetooth Car Mode to set the phone to car mode when it connects with my car.
It "just worked" for me... but I also did an LG Backup from my old G2 to the G4, and that transferred all this over to the G4.
There IS a car mode, but as far as I know, not launchable in the conventional sense. I use Tasker to activate car mode when I plug the phone into the car. You can also set it to car mode when connected to your car BT.
What does the car mode look like, or how could I try it out on my phone?
Nothing really - just an icon in the notification bar, and that screen brightness is at max. There's no Google Car Mode app or anything built in.
Can just add: when Car Mode is initiated, the call AutoAnswer becomes active and works without switching on Call auto answering in LG menu
I use Bluetooth Car Mode Starter to start car mode when the phone pairs with my car's bluetooth:

Prior to that, I used the Car Mode app to enable car mode manually:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.carmode&hl=en
(alternately, as mentioned about, you can use Tasker)
The Car Dock Settings app is helpful:

I've actually got the old Google Car Dock on my phone; I plucked the APK off my Galaxy Nexus and Google has moved it forward for me every phone I've had since. It's really ugly. As I said, I prefer "Car Dashboard".

I was trying to do exactly this. Do you know what activates car mode? I know I can use NFC but I was hoping to replicate a setup I had on my S4 where I plug into a dock and tasker detects it is in dock mode. If I recall on my Samsung S4 had to modify a USB cable for the S4 to detect this.
Cheers!

Within Tasker I can search for Car Mode, but I have no idea how to find and initiate merely from the phone.
