Ali all,
As the title says I have a prob with my joy pad on my nvidia shield.
The issue is everytime I sync my nvidia joy pad to my shield there is no
Sound coming from my TV or my TV, The volume at the top (the green bar)
Has a little muscle icon and next too it is a headphone icon. No I have no headphones plugged in. It's like the one time I plugged in my headphones it's now anytime I go to use the joy pad the shield thinks that the headphones are plugged into my shield joy pad but there now and because it thinks there plugged in no sound will play threw my TV and my soundblaster...
I have tried everything including doing reformatting my shield too factory settings so I'm at a loss on what to do!
I pray to anyone that might of had this issue or anyone that can give me help on how to fix the joy pad been muted without headphones plugged in.
It's really really getting too me because I can't play games without having headphones on and n I really don't like that...
Thanks anyone who read my post and please God someone can help!!]

Hi there @RiceydDr0id,
From what you are describing there, the problem seems to be caused by the joy pad's 3.5mm connector. Basically the controller always detects that there is a headphone jack plugged in. The problem is most probably mechanical in nature and can be fixed by moving some metal parts of the 3.5 mm connector. Disassembly of the joy pad is advisable for easier access.
Cheers!

Here's something that happened a few times already:
Whilst sitting in the train watching a movie using the stock earphones it came with I'd get the impression everyone was looking at me, so I free up one ear from the headphones, appears the audio is also blasting throught the speakers of the TP2. First times I started fiddling with the usb plug of the earplugs to see if it maybe not be connecting right. Didn't solve it; so resrted phone and everything was okay. Last times it happened I made sure not to move the usb plug while restarting, trying to figure out if this is simply a usb problem / broken wire of earplug or software trouble. It then also worked, giving me the impression that this is somehow something caused by WinMo.
Anyone else had this problem and maybe possible sollutions?
Ps: I hate the fact that HTC once again did not use a standard mini-jack connection, using mini-usb to plug in you earphones is the dumbest sollution I can image; placing in the bottom part of phone is logical thinking of cradle connections, but not handy when you need to plug in the earphones with that utterly unhandy straight usb plug. Couldn't they at least have thought of a way to put the hole in such a way that you plug is more protected or not sticking out that much?
Hello Everyone..
I have found this website very usefull and would like to thank everyone for the great information given so far regarding HTC Touch Pro 2..
I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 and the details about its ROM version and Operating system are listed in my signature...
I have a SONY car mp3 car audio system inbuilt in my car.. It has USB support ------ but no bluetooth support.
I wish to use the car system as follows.. Say if I plug my HTC Touch Pro 2 as USB to my car system, then it should play the audio from my mobile.
At the moment, it does so, but my car simply considers my phone as a USB device..
But, my requirement is something different... Say if I play a video in my HTC Touch Pro 2. But I wish to use my car speakers for playing the audio of the ongoing video in my mobile.
Is it possible?
Like mentioned earlier, if I plug my mobile to my cars USB, it simply plays as USB device, where I have no control on my phone sound files. But I wish to use the car speakers for any video file that I play on my mobile.. Can this be achieved?
Looking forward for any kind of helpful information...
Or to be more particular with my requirement...
I wish to use my HTC Touch Pro 2's screen as video screen and use my car speakers for the sound output. Both can be connected via USB as my car system supports USB.
I do not have bluetooth in my car system.
Need a solution if this can be achieved..
Isn't there any solution to my request?
Only way I could think is to plug a male-to-male audio cable from your phone to your receiver's line-in jack (hopefully if it has USB, it also has a standard 3.5mm line in).

Excellent mate... Indeed it did the trick.. I now have mini home theater in my car
Too good man.. too good.. Thanks StaticMatt.. Wish I could add some kind of reputation to you
I have the Fuze and now the Tilt 2. The nice thing HTC created was the TV out feature. I found the right cable after a lot of searching, and I have my Tilt 2 in my Proclip mount, which is mounted on the dashboard, the cable runs from the mount back inside the dash, where the port connections split up for power and A/V out. I have power feeding the cable which keeps the Tilt 2 charging at all times and the A/V cable plugs into the back of my Pioneer AVIC D-3 and wala, anything I see on the Tilt is also visible on the AVIC, and all sound comes through the car audio system.
I have my slingbox mobile installed on the Tilt so I can connect to my satellite receiver at home and watch anything I want and also load movies on the 16GB microSD card. It has amazing picture quality and the sound is perfect. When a call comes in, the movie or TV pauses and resumes once the call is finished.
I really couldn't ask for more. It's especially handy when you are waiting for someone and you have time to kill, or you want to watch the latest episode of Glenn Beck at 5PM EST and can't get home in time. It's also nice for reading those emails and text messages while at a stop light because of the big screen on the AVIC.
Obviously, it's not a good idea to be watching TV while driving so anything over 5 MPH and the AVIC video display goes dark, but the audio keeps on humming!
Ahhh Life is good!

No problem
Hi there.
I just recently bought my SGSII, and even more recently received the Samsung vehicle dock/holder with charger and line out. It seems like a quality unit, and it sounds very well when playing music etc, but there is a huge annoyance: Every time android initializes some sound, whether it be when the music player plays the first song, the voice in the google navigation program, or a system sound, a loud "popping" sound can be heard. I tried turning all system sounds off, but it's very annoying when using the navigation program. Has anyone had this same problem?
Other than this, the output from the unit is loud and clear (no volume issues), and there is not much background noise. I considered the wiring on my 2008 VW touran, but that should be good. I also tried it on another car (Jeep with an aftermarket stereo). I have used an iPhone with a similar style dock (ie one that splits the USB/dock connector to a charger and aux) without these issues earlier.
So, has anyone else experienced the same problem, or should there be no pops? Could it be a defective unit? Otherwise, could it be due to some bug in the OS? I have the latest official build from Kies. (2.3.5, I9100XXKI4, GINGERBREAD.XWKI8).
Thanks in advance.
I have a Alpine indash monitor and when I use the USB connection and hook up my phone and mount the storage ( to play music over my stereo) it starts to play a loud popping noise till it finds all the music files on my phone. For example if I have 50 songs it pops 50 times. Really really annoying cause I I hear is popping noises before my music starts to play

So is this with the USB cable straight to the GS2 or thru the vehicle dock's USB?
Samsung Norway just got back to me after having tested their own devices, and it seems they also had the same problem. So they just told me that that's the way this thing works. Which is very strange, I can't imagine they don't get more complains. Surely, noone wants ear wrecking noise before any message from the navigation app or music player?
Are there no fellow vehicle dock users out there who can confirm if this is normal?
I'm using the desk dock and I have the same problem, never found a solution, I tried several roms and kernels

Thanks for your reply. Seems very odd, almost as if there is some firmware/software problem, something emitting an audio signal that shouldn't be there. Let me see, wasn't there a thread about making your own usb to charge/audio out here...
I received the car dock the other day and have encountered the same problem. Any time the android system "does" something other than just playing the music, terrible loud pops occur.
Between this and the fact that the call audio is not routed through the dock's 3.5" jack has me considering returning it! I wish this fact was better explained in the Samsung literature on the dock.
I also considered returning the unit, but I think it might be a software flaw. At least, it should be possible to make a software workaround (drivers/firmware) for this, as it seems to be caused by audio initialization in the phone. Is this something for the developers? Do any of you have experience with same kinds of accessories with other brands using a micro USB connector as dock?
this has got to be a bad ground. the only time i get a pop is when i place/remove the phone from my dock or plug/unplug the usb power and i blame that on a bad ground for the usb adapter in my cigarette lighter.
if it doesnt pop while off usb power than its the ground plain and simple
edit: sorry for hijacking this thread but could you post a screen shot of the car home or desk home app?
I can't imagine this being due to a bad ground. Its a 3 years old car, and i've also tested the unit in a brand new Citroen c5 with the exact same pops. In addition the Norwegian Samsung people say its the same with their units. Out of curiosity, what firmware are you running on yours? I'll see if I can arrange a screenshot.

Hi,
I have been trying to troubleshoot my issues and have had no luck.
one day my headphones stopped playing in my right ear so I figured it was a bad headphone jack. I bought a new one and replaced it. Now it only plays when button control headphones are plugged in (the plugs with the 3 black stripes not the 2 like standard earbuds). It does play but if I turn the headphone plug it stops playing at certain points while turning. the rear speaker works fine.
I tried having the jack plugged in with the metal outer case off and I have the same issue (again, I don't think a short is an issue).
I checked everything and the headphone jack appears to be fine, doesn't appear to be a short anywhere. I am at a loss on what my next step would be.
Thank you.
There are lots of possible solutions, that you can try.
Sounds like you might just need to replace the audio receiver.

Here's a pre-existing thread full of people having similar issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52858277
Edit--I'm sorry to report that after further testing the below is no longer working for me. It's strange that initially the audio glitch disappeared but I probably shouldn't have posted in haste. So following this I decided to try taping both pin 13s on both sides of the hdmi cable. I tried it again on my test tv and roku box first and this time it might be worth noting that a new message appeared on the tv saying "unsupported mode". This gave me some optimism to try it on aftv with both sides taped but i still have the same glitch when i power off my tv while leaving aftv on. If anyone has any insights, I'm listening. BTW--I didn't just come up with this concept. It does fix certain issues with older tv sets and newer set top boxes but my bedroom tv has something else going on i think.
I thought I'd tentatively share my working solution for cec on my bedroom aftv. I posted in the past that my bedroom tv absolutely MUST be powered on first before AFTV or the audio from every video i play will cut in & out indefinitely until i reboot aftv. This is extraordinarily annoying, especially since i have boot menu so the reboot process takes even longer. Someone isolated the problem as bad cec support on my bedroom tv. Looking into it, I saw you can remove or bend pin 13 on hdmi cables to kill cec. This seemed a little reckless so here's what I did...
I experimented with an old and unused roku box. I took a tiny sliver of electrical tape and carefully covered pin 13 on the hdmi cable. It took me like 7 times to get it perfect. Then i tried it with my roku box and everything worked fine.
So then i tried it on aftv with my old cec-impaired tv and it fixed my issue! Finally!
Only thing I wonder is the material i used. It's just a piece of electrical tape which should stay in place because this particular tv is mounted tightly to the wall with no side inputs (very difficult to plug in hdmi). Not that heat should be much of a factor since electrical tape should withstand but does anyone know of any reason this material might adversely affect the TV? All is working fine so I'm not trying to be pessimistic but if anyone with advanced knowledge of hdmi/cec has any info to add please let me know here. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this info, I fortunately do not suffer from this problem but this is really great info. Thank you for the informative post
