Plug the 3 pole male to male aux cable from Z1c headphone jack to car stereo.... now you have everything thru the car audio... music which automatically interrupts for phone calls (the mic is of course a bit distant and callers report you sounding like you're in a tunnel but it works) .... and of course the ability to tap the google microphone icon and speak requests to make calls or play certain tracks and of course search the net..... all working flawlessly while using Android 4xx versions
Now you change to Android 5 in a custom ROM.... CM12.... now the same scenario runs perfectly but only if you've rebooted the phone and haven't used the google voice search since reboot so it's not been started as a service and running in the background.
If you have already opened voice search you find that everytime you plug in the aux cable the google voice search randomly triggers and even tho you can cancel it... up it comes again maybe 3-4 times until it stays off...... but then it'll fire up again randomly as you're driving along.... and so on... and so on.... until you get really sick of it cos it's not behaving as it should and it's bloody annoying..... :crying:
The puzzle is how do you stop the voice search from running as a background service once you've used it after a fresh boot so you don't get this annoying glitch....???
A twist to the puzzle is that using the headphones that came in the box with the Z1c doesn't cause the issue, but that possibly has something to do with the 4 pole jack (as opposed to the 3 pole on aux cable) having a separate mic channel for input from the hands free mic positioned on the headphone cable.
If anyone clever enough to know how to reprogram the google voice app to not remain running as a background process after it's first opening post boot, then please chime in.... I'd love to here from you.
Tasker maybe? App ops app? Just some suggestions...

I am pretty new to Android and still trying to get all the grips on I need. As of now, there is one thing that really bugs me badly.
I use the device for Sat-Nav driving a lot, I have a semipermanent installetion in my car from my previous smartphones. Basically just a power feed and a 3,5mm Jack that come out of the dash panel where the device holder is mounted. I recharge plug in for recharge as needed. The audio jack goes into the device, from there to a so-called Fastmute box behind the dash which is connected to the stereo head unit (the loudspeaker output cables running away from the head unit to be specific. The Speaker lines are interrupted by the box and just pass through whatever audio is being played back by the stereo. However, once there is current on the 3,5 audio jack (i.e. speech from the SatNav) the music immediately goes mute and you can hear the turn instructions in perfect quality through the car speakers. Once the signal fromthe satnav dies down stereo music comes back.
For my taste this beats most commercial, fixed systems.
Now, since I am on Android weird stuff happens.
On a first testrun shortly after I gut the Desire (which was o2 branded stock 2.1 at that point) I noticed that I do not get any announcements through the fastmute. Checked the jack, opened the dash to check internal wiring, retried a mp3 player. It's all good on that side. The accouncements come through the device speaker, hard to hear, easy to miss a turn etc. I do not why or how, but it seems that the audio routing takes a route different from other audio. This had me pretty much meh!
Well few days later, now with a ModaCo R8 custom ROM and Froyo I was hoping for good luck and gave it another whirl. Of course, no dice. When I plug in the jack of the supplied headset (which I assume doubles as a handsfree) I get the symbol for that in the upper symbol bar. When I exchange that headset jack with the regular 3,5mm jack the symbol looks different, but still vaguel like a set of speakers.
But now here comes the completion of the mindfaq... I had the SatNav volume at about medium (so barely hearble with driving ambient noise) when the phone went and I took the call through the Bluetooth Handsfree instaalled in my car and was distracted by the call (the car came euipped with the BT Handsfree from factory, so the stereo goes to "pause" and the conversation is routed into the vehicle speakers.. A few minutes into the call I suddenly hear a perfectly well understandable, clear turn instruction hopping into the phone conservation. I was extremely intrigued and was hoping that I discovered that CoPilot can route instructions either into A2DP or more likely emulate a "call event" that results in routing the audio into the according BT profile.
However, after that singularity I tried reproducing this for a god part of an hour, driving a route that forces many instructions from the SatNav, all the while calling my own answering machine fo have an connection established.
Sorry for the lengty explanation. Questions:
1 Has anyone ran into this before? What was your solution? Bear with it, switch SatNav software, avoid listening to music in oder to not miss any turn directions?
2. Is there a hack, hidden configuration that would enable me to _force_ this audio routint into the direction of the BT Handsfree, making it think it is an incoming call?
As a fellow co-pilot user I share your frustration.
You will probably find that it's nothing as technical as it not routing to bluetooth or whatever.
Co-pilot has a nasty habit of messing with it's own volume setting when a headset is plugged in. It tends to reduce itself down to zero without notification or cause. You would try to reset the volume, but firstly, it wont go more than a third of the way up, and secondly, it will simply jump back down to zero again on it's own.
They know about this issue and their response is not to use it with a headphone jack!
It is rather annoying!!
1. The music widget type thing in the dock app just repeats 5 or 6 songs... I've fiddled with all these settings and it does the same thing.
2. When talking to people on the phone I hear the persons voice through my phone speaker, how do I get it to play through my car speakers? I think I might have to turn speaker phone off because that's how it worked with the tape adapter.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Anyone?

This probably wont help you but I'll post anyhow. I just plug in my aux jack to the phone, all the audio pumps thru there.

Does the microphone on the phone still work this way? Considering the aux cable doesn't have a mic built into it like other hands-free headsets.
Figured out why I was only hearing like 5 songs.
Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.
And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
Oh and I called Moto and the lady talked sooooo slow, and verified everything I said like 4 times, just to say that she could just replace it. Didn't even know how to troubleshoot.
Is it impossible to edit the widgets that come pre-loaded in the car dock app?

tl;dr get "Car Dock Home v3"
Hello,
I have a Windows Phone 7 Tango (Pdaimatejam) 7.8, and I experienced this problem with Mango too (Way too many times).
The problem is, when I have music playing in my pocket (or just through an AUX cable in the car), the music just stops, resumes, stops, resumes, and then stops playing all together. This is so annoying, especially while driving. And sometimes, randomly, "Microsoft Listen" or something comes up, the voice recognition.
Can anyone help me? This is one of the most annoying bugs I've encountered, and it's impossible to use it on a regular basis that way.
Also mentioning, that this problem starts after awhile of listening to music.
i had a problem similiar to this where the volume would goto full blast but it was from the 3.5 jack and i changed aux cables to one that fit better and it stopped

Yeah, but I can't just change my headphones jack or my inbuilt aux cable (It's sort of a stupid hack by Mazda representative)

Make sure you don't sit on the headphone cable... Lol...
Microsoft Tellme? There is only 2 ways to get it : Press and hold the Windows Button / Press and hold the Call button on the handfree headset.

I'm not sitting on the cable, and it came up randomly, while listening to music. Didn't have a call button.

Hard Reset the phone is more like it now... do it, and see if it fix your problem. If not, it is time to call the operator, give them a dispatch and have a new device, lol
It looks like your headset needs replacement. Mine does that to me on my Titan. When the cable is under my coat, it accidentally stops as it's pressed a little by mistake.
Also, the way the jack makes the contact with your phone could be another cause. I had/have but don't use HTC Sensation XL, and it did the same with the beats audio that comes with it. The jack doesn't fit properly. Hence a little angled movement and songs break. Play, pause.
With Windows Phone it's more likely to stop even if your jack is a lil out of the socket since as soon as the headphone is removed, the music stops by default.
This is a cross post from the thread I found on reddit, I take no credit for this find.
The problem for this person was "I purchased some Beyedynamic DT990 Pros (low impedance ersion; 32ohm) and there is some issue with the jack. It seems to trigger the button of me pressing the microphone button, with minimal movement. It either brings up voice command or just pauses the music, even if I just turn off the screen. If I try to increase the volume it also brings up the voice command sometimes.
Just moving the phone slowly causes the music to stop (if it doesnt already when turning the screen off.
Anyone have any solutions to this? These are good headphones, they work with my pc perfectly. I will test with my ipod aswell.
I was thinking of getting a female to male jack just to see if a different connector works. But these are audiophile headphones so the quality isn't really questionable."
and the solution was
"Download the app SoundAbout. It lets you force your phone to detect the headphones correctly. My G3 was doing the exact same thing and ever since I downloaded SoundAbout around a week or so ago everything has been working fine." "What I do is put the headphones into the jack, but not all the way until it clicks in. Just put it in enough to where the phone senses them. If the phone senses them as a headset, remove the headphones (not necessary to take them completely out, just off of the sensor inside the headphone jack) and try again. Once it detects them as regular headphones you can click them in like normal."
Sorry for the poor formatting, and unable to link the reddit thread because my account lacks posts but I found this extremely helpful and hope everyone with this issue does too.

Thread is LG G3 can't deal with proper headphones-
Another method from goldswimmerbj
"I have seen that many people are having issues with the phone picking up headphones as headsets and pausing music on it's own and also causing LG voice to pop up. This issue is caused by the phone picking up headphones incorrectly.
Put the headphones in slowly until you hear 2 faint beeps. Once you hear those just continue plugging in the headphones."
Hope this solves your problems with the LG G3,
My LG G3 has a different problem I guess
Thanks for the info OP.
Mine has headset issue, but only during phone calls.
When I play music, I have no problem at all, during the phone calls, this is where the issue comes. the sound is bad, just like the phone is in a really bad reception area, however, when I unplug the headset, use the phone itself, there is no problem at all, same for the speaker.
i tried with different headset, all same result. I tried the options in the thread above, same. also, my phone detect the headsets ok, once the headset is plugged, the phone has the headset icon appeared
my phone is LG G3, 32G, Canadian Bell version.
any help would be much appreciated
Anyone point me to a dev who could write me the change to source that would allow me to toggle google voice search disable/enable from my homescreen please...?
I have the issue where plugging in my aux cable to run my device thru car audio system annoyingly triggers google voice search as soon as I plug in the cable to headphone jack and I have to turn it off 3-5 times as it just randomly keeps turning back on and then it finally settles but then randomly the mic won't work when i get a call... it's acting buggy so I even tried a fresh GApps package to no avail.
It was fine when i had Android 4xx versions on this Z1c and started as soon as I put CM12 on it.
Weirdly the google voice search app shows as an icon in my apps list which I can happily press and open and it takes me to the 'listening' screen that annoyingly triggers on with the aux cable, but if I go to settings->apps->all there is no sign of it to try and disable....? how can it not be in there...? If there I could make a shortcut to that point. I have root but no idea where within the system files I might locate the very place I need to go.
Oh.... and plugging in the hands free headphones that came with the Z1c works perfectly and of course they have a 4 pole jack with the mic section. My aux cable is 3 pole because it doesn't need mic ability as it's only transferring the output to car audio.... and as i said this 3 pole aux cable worked fine with JB and KK.
I'm gonna try a 4pole male to 3 pole male cable when it arrives in the post, but I think this has to be a software issue.... so simply turning off Voice search as and when I choose would be a workable and straightforward solution for me.
Any help much appreciated
