Hi I noticed that when I connect a headphone/in ear to my 3,5 port the amp suddenly switches from normal mode to aux mode. This should not be possible unless you have a detachable in ear/ headphone and connect the cable first and then the in ears/headphones. I know it is happening for sure because I have the "Hifi-Status(LG)" app by "App Trio" that tells you what mode your amp is on and that I can clearly hear a volume spike. Is this only my G7 or someone else?

Hi all ,
I've just bought the official Samsung car holder / dock.
i1.expansys.com/img/b/217880/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii.jpg
It's well made and a perfect fit for the phone (without case) but I'm having problems connecting to my car stereo.
After a bit off fiddling with settings (turning on USB debugging) I can connect my GalaxyS2 directly to my Pioneer DEH-2300UB headunit with the USB cable.
GalaxyS2 then detects that it's connected by USB. Pulling down the notification bar and clicking the USB icon turns it on. It is then detected by the headunit like it would any USB mass storage device and plays MP3 files.
But if I connect the car holder to the headunit with the USB cable, then clip my GalaxyS2 into the car holder, the phone goes into car dock mode.
I can get out of car dock mode by pulling down the notifications bar and turning it off but I can't get the the phone into USB mass storage mode.
Any idea how I can get my GalaxyS2 to detect the USB connection and not the car dock?
how about turning USB debuggin on then connect into the dock and then turning it off?
Thanks, but nope that didnt work.
Can you post a picture or link to your car dock?
I'm a newb so can't post direct pics or links so you'll have to cut and paste the link below.

Is there any setting you can adjust on your car stereo?
No settings on stereo. its an issue with the phone

Have you tried changing it from car dock to say sound station/dock?
You can turn the car dock off by pulling down the notification bar a clicking the car dock icon. Not sure if it will let the phone go into mass storge mode after that though.
Nope tried that as well
Hmm is it able to detect the phone or is it only the problem relating to playback?
The head unit detects that something has been connected and tries to scan it but because the GalaxyS2 is not in mass storage mode the headunit displays an error.
Maybe theres a 3rd party app that can change it or maybe we can trick the phone into detecting connection into something else first and then putting it into the car dock. thus it might not go into the car dock mode
Been looking around the market. There are a few apps but "NoDock" seems to be the closest to what I'm looking for.

There is a trial version. I'll re-root my phone and give it a try.
Cool. Let us know after you give it a try
BTW have you tried plugging in a female USB port and then connecting the male end to your head unit? Or maybe you could try an aux input after docking it.
I think what is happening is that the USB connection is just supplying power to the car holder.
There is an AUX-out on the car holder and an AUX-in on the headunit. I'll see if I can find an AUX cable and try it. Connected that way I think I'll be able to control the MP3s from the phone instead of the headunit.
Maybe this is a bit off-topic but can you tell me if you notice any interference noise through the dock's audio line out when the phone is not playing anything? This is an annoying issue in the I9000 with its official car dock.

What type of interference? I get the usual RF interference just the same as if you put the phone next to a speaker when in GPRS mode. You'd get that with all phones IMO.

lol. thats it then I guess. if there is already an aux out, it must be that Did they include a 3.5mm cable?

I didn't mean RF interference, that will depend on the proper shielding your audio system has (I think). The noise I'm talking about is different, sometimes it's random noise and some other times it is a buzzing that goes high and low depending on the acceleration/deceleration of the car engine... I know... weird. This does NOT happen if I connect the phone directly through its 3.5 jack and not the dock's.
Maybe they sorted it out in the I9100 car dock.

Not sure if this has been covered or not, but I recently found that a cheap AUX cable plugged into my headphone jack and into my car AUX jack didn't produce any music through my car speakers
The car "recognized" the phone and went into AUX mode, but the phone didn't recognize the car and produced sound from the phne external speaker.
I found some threads somewhere that talked about cables and impedance, but I found an easy fix: Force headset mode.
There seem to be lots of apps that will toggle your phone to force it in and out of headset mode. I picked one at random from the googleplay store which allowed me to create a widget that toggles forced headset on and off (toggleheadset2 by ddubtech.com).
I also use a Garmin Nuvi 660 as a bluetooth speaker.
When my phone is connected to the Nuvi via bluetooth I can make and receive calls through the Nuvi. When I toggle the forced headset mode on and plug into the car AUX port, I can listen to music using the car audio.
I wasn't sure what would happen if you had somthing plugged into the headset jack of the phone, but also had a bluetooth connection to a mic and speakers (the Nuvi). Turns out they work together smoothly; music through AUX pauses when an incomming call starts, then switches automatically to the Nuvi mic and speakers for the duration of the call, then automatically switches back to playing music through the car AUX audio.
Hello,
When I plug in my regular headphones/earbuds (Sennheiser CX 150) into the LG G4 (Sprint) when the screen is off, the phone mistakenly thinks I've plugged in a headset/mic combo (the status icon is the headset/mic), even though there is no mic, just earbuds. Annoyingly, the phone also wakes the screen and launches the Voice Mate app. Just because I've plugged in my earbuds while the screen was off.
But when I plug in those earbuds when the screen is already on/awake, the phone correctly recognizes them as headphones (no microphone) and doesn't launch the Voice Mate app, just sits there on whatever screen was displayed, but adds the headphone icon at the top of the screen (as it should for these earbuds).
Anyone know why the phone would do this misbehavior when plugging regular earbuds in while screen is off? As a work-around I've been waking my phone screen before plugging in the earbuds, but I'd prefer to understand why the phone is misbehaving like this when I try to plug in the earbuds when the screen is off?
Can I disable the voice mate launching at least? Almost as if the phone thinks I've done something to initiate that too, upon plugging in the earbuds with screen off.
Same problem in my car
When I plug my car's aux audio cable into the headphone jack of my G4, faiiiil. Same problem - - my " okay, Google" commands fall on deaf ears, because the mic has been silenced. This happens to me whether the screen is black or lit - - and annoyingly, there seems to be no way to change the mic setting manually. Unless someone here can enlighten me? THANKS!
Have a T-Mobile g4 and it works normal with my bose headphones screen on and off. Bluetooth works great. Aux wire used is a griffen flat cable and no issues on playback
I have the same weirdness when I plug in my aux cable in my car - I get the wired headset icon, or some other icon that I don't recognize (it looks like a sideways s with a plug on the end). Sprint version.
The simple-est fix is this .. Plug your usb cord into your computer and your phone at the same time... wait a minute, and then disconnect. It has fixed this issue SEVERAL times on my G4 .. hopefully the simple fix does the trick for you as well
Same issue here. I'm starting to think it's a static electricity thing too? Like, the first time I plug in, it incorrectly classifies it. But if I unplug and try again, it usually works.
Sometimes, when I'm on the USB cable when I try, it works. But I really get bothered by the mischaracterization of earbuds as a headset that launches the voice recognition, so annoying!
So keep monitoring the patterns, see if you can influence it through static discharge/grounding, or screen on/off, angle of audio cable insertion, or whatever. Seems to me like it's not totally 100% predictable though.
Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!
Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.
But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.
Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...
Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.
Hey All,
I just started noticing an issue with my headphone port today.
When I plug my headphones into the port as I normally do, they don't get recognized. I now have to plug it in partially until I see the headset notification icon, and then completely plug it in.
Has anyone encountered this?
