[Q] Make calls over external speaker when in cardock - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the official Samsung cardock, and connected it to my car radio (the cardock has a 3.5mm jack output). Nice, now I can listen to the music on my phone over my carspeakers!
BUT:
Whenever I make or receive a call, the sound of the conversation keeps channeling through the phone's own external speaker. Disabling the phone's external speaker (either during the call or beforehand) does not fix it. It just néver get's through the 3.5mm jack output to my car stereo. Annoying, since my car is pretty loud when speeding.
[Q]How to channel the audio of a voicecall to the jack-output? Does anybody know of a fix for this? I have looked around-and-around-and-around, and have asked this before. Just can't believe I'm the only-one that is bothered by this!
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BLUETOOTH-CARKIT-SUGGESTIONS, no matter how nice you guys mean it

Anybody any idea?

Nobody no ideas?

I would like to do this too, speeding along the motorway the phone speaker is just too quiet.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one... Now let's hope some dev is bothered by the same problem

I guess this is gonna be one of those unanswered questions...

Bump-bumptie-dum

I recon if I bump long enough, someone with the solution should notice this question sooner or later; Although I realize that moment might be somewhere around 2015, with an answer like "Buy a galaxy S9 mate..."
Anyone?

Is the S9 there yet? Or else a solution to my problem?

I have a std aux input into my car stereo. Plugging a stereo 3.5 lead from the phone jack into the stereo aux I can listen to all sounds from the phone over all car speakers including calls... Just like when a headset is connected. Calls go over car speakers and phone mic picks up voice.
It would seem then that its the official samsung dock being treated different to a simple direct lead connection.
My only gripe is during calls the phones mic works but thinks its on a std call and is a bit weak. Wish I could force the mic into speakerphone mode or the levels associated with that mode anyway. Btw... Turning on speakerphone while lead is connected stops the output over the speakers.
I have a trrs mic / stereo splitter adapter and a seperate car 3.5 mic but again the mic levels on the phone in headset mode need boosting.

Hmm... So maybe if I use a splitter to merge the signal from both the cardock AND the phonejack...
Thnx m8! Not entirely what I was looking for (one more thing to do when plugging in my phone in the car), but it just-might-work!
Will report back

Just note I do not 'need' the splitter to make it work. Without a splitter it works just fine using car speakers and the phones mic (as the aux lead is std audio lead only - not including the third ring position for the mic).
I just got the splitter to use a seperate external mic in the car. The splitter simply has all 3 rings to make phone think its a full headset connected like the set that comes in the box with the phone and splits audio and mic into 2 seperate connections. This way I then take the std aux lead from the audio split to the stereo for listening over the car speakers and use the mic split for plugging in any std 3.5 external mic.

I understood that, it's just that I would probably need a splitter in my specific situation, since all my music gets played through the cardock by default as soon as I plug in the phone... It's possible to disable this automatic switch of audiorouting when the phone get's plugged in though, but somehow it just doesn't feel right to NOT use the audio-out feature of the cardock

Help: using an 2.5mm/3.5mm Headphone Adaptor

Hi,
I have a Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset http://www.computingondemand.com/reviews/audio-Logitech-PrecisionGamingPCHeadset/page1.shtml and it works great.
So would need an adapter like this to connect it to the Blue Angel -
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT16
Am I correct that BOTH the speaker ***and the microphone*** are then rerouted to the headset, or does it only reroute the speaker?
Thanks People
I have the same setup. Both connections on the adapter are for headsets only
1 for headset
1 for stereo headset
I contacted them about this and they noted that there may be a need for this type of setup, but had no immediate intentions of changing the config.

Well..., I think I have to disagree with Raptor :shock:... I have both the PPCPADPT16 and the PPCPADPT15. The 2.5 side on the 16 does indeed enable the mic on a standard 2.5mm head set and the 3.5 mm side provides stereo sound, but no mic.
I use mine as part of a car kit for my xda IIs. I use the 3.5mm side to plug in a cassette adaptor and feed stereo MP3 sound and the phone through the car speakers. I plug in a regular 2.5mm hands free kit into the 2.5mm side of the adaptor and use that as the mic attached to the door pillar Works pretty well for all up cost of about $45
The 15 works by feeding the stereo sound into the car stereo via the cassette adaptor, while keeping the internal speaker of the XDA IIs enabled. In this way you can play the sound through the car stereo (or any stereo headset) while still being able to answer a call via the xda's mic and listen to the caller over the stereo speakers...
Hope that helps

Chris
Ah...now after rereading the posts, I think I now understand what you were looking for
You need an adaptor that provides stereo sound and a mic in a single 2.5mm or 3.5mm connector....correct..? In which case neither of these do it in a single connector..
Sorry, misunderstood on the first pass :roll
Regards
Chris

indeed stereo sound and a mic ,
thanks for the confirmation!

Chris,
Does your 2.5mm hands free kit comes with its own speaker, too? When you plug the 2.5mm hands free kit into the 2.5mm side to use the mic, does the sound comes out of the 2.5mm hands free kit's speaker also? Or the 2.5mm side only connects the mic and no sound is routed through it?
If no sound is routed through the 2.5mm side then it sounds like the PPCPADPT16 is designed for one to use his own speaker (cassette adapter to car's speakers, etc...) and his own mic (hands free kit,etc... but then one wastes the hands free kit's speaker). Does any body know if there is a mic-only device that can plugs into the 2.5mm side? I couldn't find any, a device that has a mic always come with an earphone. arghh!!!
If there is sound routed through the 2.5mm side, then whenever one receives a call, sound will come from all over the place, louder sound from the car's speakers competing with the weaker sound from the hands free kit's speaker... It sounds distracting!!
I have a feeling the designer meant to add a mic to this adapter so that the 3.5mm side and the 2.5mm side can be used independently. The 3.5mm side for those who wants to use the car's speakers and the adapter's mic... The 2.5mm side for one who wants to use a hands free kit...
The 15 works by feeding the stereo sound into the car stereo via the cassette adaptor, while keeping the internal speaker of the XDA IIs enabled. In this way you can play the sound through the car stereo (or any stereo headset) while still being able to answer a call via the xda's mic and listen to the caller over the stereo speakers...

PPC Adaptors and hands Free Kit
Hi Sumtingwong
The hands free "kit" I put together is actually an assembly of individual components I selected, rather than an actual kit.
I use a standard non powered, vent mount holder for the xda 2s and power the device via a standard car charger. The holder does not have any kind of speaker built in. I am currently using the PPCtechs "16" adaptor, with the 3.5mm side plugged into a cassette sound feeder (have also used it with an FM sound feeder as well) and the 2.5 mm side plugged into a standard 2.5mm mono hands free speaker/mic combo. I have the mic part of this attached to the drivers side door pillar. Then, I have MS Voice Command installed on the xda, with the "record" button on the xda mapped to the Voice Command software
So the way it works is as follows.
1. Get into car and place xda in vent mount holder. Attach car charger and PPCTech # 16 adaptor to xda.
2. Turn car radio / stereo on and insert casette sound feeder adaptor (you can use a FM Sound Feeder here instead and tune to the appropriate FM station)
3. Hit the xda "record" button and at the Voice Command prompt say "Play Don Henley" (It's the only CD I have on my SD card right now.. ) The music starts!
4. Then I decide I want to call someone, so, while the music is still playing, I hit the record button again and on the Voice Command prompt say "call Veronica at home". The music stops and the phone dials the number from the contact list.
5. The phone rings and I get her voice mail (she's never at home ) So I hang up and restart the music.
6. Then a call comes in, which interupts the music with the ring tone through the car speakers. I can see who is calling via the xda screen and hit the "call answer" button on the xda to answer the call. My car has volume up and down on the steering wheel, so that its pretty convienent to adjust the volume from there.
7. When the call is done, I hit the "call end" button on the xda and the music starts back up automatically.
It works pretty well. A couple of other things to address your questions.
a. I don't have a speaker built into the xda holder, so sound coming out there is not an issue for me.
b. The 2.5mm headset side does still have the speaker attached, but sound is not a problem as its so low.
c. I too have not found a (cheap) 2.5mm "mic only". I asked the PPC Tech folks if they had or could recommend one. They did not, but their solution was simple and inexpensive...."we find just cutting of the headphone part off the handsfree works well"!!
The other thing I use and love is PocketMax "PhoneAlarm" (www.pocketmax.net) As well as some great alarm functions, this app supports various profiles that control, amongst other things, the input and output sound on the PPC mic and speaker. So I set up the "car" profile with a mic sensitivity and audio output that matches the car stereo best. That way there are no big volume changes when switching from say the car radio to the MP3 music on the XDA (BTW, you can also listen to internet radion on the XDA this way too!)
Well there you go, hope that answers your questions. If not, let me know.

Chris

perfect explanation
perfect explanation pretty much covers what i want to do break out the sound from my mda III.
I would like to go one stage further and use a pc stereo headset with my mda III but i think that would require a mono 3.5 socket as well as the stereo head phone socket.
looks like the devices discussed so far are working as a pass through to a 2.5 headset and a stereo 3.5 socket for what ever ...
I've not been on this board long but this looks an ideal thread for a sticky any moderator think its worth while

Hi Black Night
The 3.5mm socket on the # 16 is for stereo headphones (no mic), while the 2.5 socket is for regular hands free kit with mono head phone plus mic. I agree with post above that a useful addition to the connector range would be a 3.5mm that was stereo and also included the mic. This would allow the use of the gaming headset mentioned above.
For now though you could use the # 15 adaptor. This is a 3.5mm stereo socket that accepts a 3.5mm stereo headset AND also keeps the mic on the device active. With this you can get stereo sound and still communicate wth the xda via its built in mic while the headphones are plugged in.

Chris

People cant here me when plugged into my aux

Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.
Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????
THANKS!

I haven't really run into this situation, but I'd guess that when a 3.5mm plug is inserted in the phone (for the aux jack) the phone "assumes" it is a wired headset - so it is outputting call audio over that cord and into the car's sound system, and looking for audio input from a mic on that line (that doesn't exist, becuase it is just a patch cord to your head unit in the car). A couple options that I see if this is the case:
a) put the call on speaker phone - this will either put call audio on your end on the phone's external speaker or the car's stereo (not sure which) and the phone will take audio input from your end via the speakerphone's mic
b) get a bluetooth headset and use that for phone calls while plugged in.

OHHH I did not think about the speakerphone thing. Thats very strange though as im pretty sure android should know better....
But yeah she has a bluetooth but isnt a big fan of using them
Thanks for the suggestions
Another option - try a car dock cable. I think this makes call audio default to speaker, but I think it can be switched to "normal" mode.

[Q] SII Microphone when connected to car stereo

My wife and I share a car which does not have bluetooth. To make use of hands free we have a cradle and a cable which connects the headphone socket to the input on the car stereo. Conversations are then heard through the car speakers and the phone microphone picks up our voices.
I have an HTC One X and this works fine for me.
My wife has a Samsung SII but when she tries the same setup the microphone seems to be unable to pick up her voice at a reasonable volume - she sounds very quiet and partially muted. I had a look and couldn't find any microphone settings in the OS. I did experiment with a couple of calls and found:
1. With the phone speaker disabled the microphone doesn't pick up very well and the person at the other end of the phone struggles to hear. The sound in the car from the other person is great - via the car stereo.
2. With the phone speaker enabled the microphone work really well and the other person can hear perfectly BUT the sound in the car is directed through the phone speaker and NOT the car stereo.
I checked with my HTC and all I have to do is plug it in and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions as to why this happens with the SII and what I can do about it?

How do you exactly connect the phones to the car?
via Cable or via bluetooth?
If I connect my SII to my car, the microphone of my car is used and my phone only works as transmitter between the phone cell and the car speaker/microphone.
The car does not have Bluetooth, we use a cable.

headphone socket doesn't activate with speakers

thanks for reading this. I searched but couldn't find anything strongly pertinent.
If listen to media, perhaps a podcast (podcast addict) or music (poweramp), then it comes out of the speaker until I plug in a headset (my old Samsung headphones work OK), and sound switches over. The headset plug has the usual tip + 3 rings.
If I plug in some external speakers, the sound doesn't cut over to the speakers on the headphone socket, so audio continues on the speaker. The speaker plug has tip + 2 rings.
My guess is that the Xperia detects the speakers from a change in impedance, rather than a switch? Or could it be the speakers's connector isn't sensed because it's only a stereo jack not stereo + mic jack?
I can't find any manual override settings in any control panel.
thanks for any ideas.
Paul
Continuing to think about this, I considered there might be an app which allows manually switching between speaker and headphone.
A bit of research and I found SoundAbout, which is far more powerful than I need as it allows you to override audio routing to any output such as bluetooth, hdmi, headphones, dock etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix
What I specifically like about this is it gives you a simple widget to toggle speaker and headset.
Of course, I'd rather the built-in switching worked, so I am still open to ideas, thanks.
Well I use some normal headphones which are standard mini jack with 2 rings and it transfers fine so I don't think it has to do with the need for 3 rings. What are the speakers out of interest?
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've had the same problem but it's not related to what I plug in, it's just random. Sometime's it's my headphones that came with the Z Ultra and sometimes it's a Monster 1/8 inch cable for plugging into my car's stereo. I think others have posted the same issue with it not detecting something plugged in. Luckily it's pretty rare for me, every month maybe.

My NOTE 3 in 2010 mercedes-stream and telephone problems

I have an aux 1/8 stero aux jack in and blue tooth for the telephone
THE PAST
With the note 2 this was a breeze headphone jack from phone out into the mercedes aux in and everything came through the car's audio system.
Easy and good sound for phone and music. without the aux hard wire the car's bluetooth worked well with the telephone calls and notifications
TODAY Note 3
If i use headphone jack out, then sound from apps hard wired into aux works well, but the phone calls will not re-direct thru bluetooth nor pass through the headphone jack out into the mercedes aux in.. this means i cannot hear the phone ring nor make nor hear in coming calls..
Suggested solutions--please
i am not all that tech savy. my current solution for driving alone is headset hard wired to headset. ....i like kilpsch. I have tried playing with the settings and cannot get everything to work as it did with the note 2 in the past.
I tried looking around and did not see a solution posted elsewhere.

Question, does the bluetooth in your vehicle only manage calls and not all audio coming out of your device? I'd assume not if you are having to hardwire the phone in order to listen to audio. That just seems very odd. I'm not certain that there is even a way to adjust how the phone manages different outputs in this sort of setup, but you might want to have a look at the call answer options when you have the device set up in this fashion. There may in fact be a way to answer the call via bluetooth, I know when I am linked up in my vehicle there are several options when a call comes through, one of them being "headset" I believe, which is bluetooth.
I dont have the issue with mine. I have a Nissan Maxima 09.... I can not play through bluetooth, so I go through the audio port as well. I answer my calls while BT is on even when playing music. Only thing I can think about is you have the volume down on one, namely your BT audio. The dang N3 separates an remembers volume on multiple devices. Your car should switch to BT once you get a call though. Your car will get the signal and switch.
Can you test whether or not it works if you have BT headphones or an ear piece? I can use my BT headphones to control the music: play, stop, next prev... while I am listening via the headphone jack. And still answer calls.

2010 mercedes audio system Blue Tooth only manages telephone, never BT audio from note 2 or note 3.
i have tried playing with the settings menus. Could this be an idiosyncrasy of the mercedes system rather than the note 3?

Yes... There may be an updated audio system firmware for your car. I am going to check on mine when I take my car in for the 50k tune up. Might have to swap entire radio system out, not speakers just console.
With NOTE 2 worked well as slade described with his nissan. telephone through blue tooth and music/stream through aux out jack on phone to aux in jack in car . this was very acceptable for me.
With NOTE 3 unacceptable. if plug in my aux to car aux, then no telephone sound at all.
could the note 3 blue tooth software have changed so that blue booth for telephone cannot be seprate from aux out through headphone jack?
how can i fix this???????????????????????????????????????/
