Hi All
I have been told by o2 that the following is a feature:
When my XDA has an incoming call, with the headset plugged in, the 'ringing' only sounds from the headset instead of the speaker.
Is this a feature or a fault?
Comments gratefully received
I'd say bit of both.
I've had my headset plugged in and heard the ringtone through both the headset AND the unit itself, but perhaps there's a way of making it so that the headset is the only audio (perhaps plugging the jack in whilst on silent then turning it back up?).
I've definitely had the headset ring out whilst the jack is connected.
A
Feature or fault, that's a hard one to call!
I would say it working as designed, since the headset will always override the speaker in any fashion. :wink:
I've never heard of this. All the US units ring in BOTH if the headset is plugged in. Unfortunately, message notification and alarms sound only in the headset though.
Hi,
As far as I have found out the behavior is not consistent. My device sometimes only ring in the headset and sometimes ring both. I have found out if you plug in the headset and connect via USB cable to the PC it will always ring both in headset and speaker. This is true even after you have unplugged the USB. Seems to me some flag I set during USB connation that enables this... ?!
For notifications - this only works via the headset... for me at least.
I find this annoying - the SmartPhone works as it should in regards to this.
I run 4.00.05 baked at this site... keep up the good work !
I had this similiar feature/bug experience too.
My XDA rings both on the headset and its speaker. One day, at some point, I managed to put it into a strange state. I started playing an mp3 with the windows media player (WMP) without the handset, it played thru its speaker (that's correct). And then I plug in the headset, mp3 came out from only the headset (that's correct too).
After that, I pressed "stop" the mp3 in the WMP, and then "play" again, mp3 came out thru both the headset and its speaker.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce this "feature" anymore now. Well, of course, that's after a reboot a while later.
In fact, now I've got a question then. Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software? AFAIK, like the iPAQ, it's controlled in the hardware, that means if you plug in a headphone, the speaker of the unit will be off.
Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software?

Yes, evidenced by the phone behaviour. Most devices use a simple contact in the headset connector to disengage the speaker, but obviously not the PE.

I would rather ask it to be a user defined option. I believe the current setup (both ringing) came after noticing that you can simply forget your headset plugged in so you may miss some calls.
But in some situations (ex: meetings) I would like to keep the headset plugged in and get the rining only through it.
I installed audible player and can listen to audiobooks using the supplied headset they sent. I would prefer playing through my car stereo or via bluetooth headset. I only have HBH-602 SonyEriccson headset--but it connects and then cuts out. What else could I use via bluetooth or in car to connect to auxiliary cable I have to car stereo?
Also, is there a way to add or remove items on HOME screen like I did with my 8125?
Thank you

Check "Facade" from SBSH.

To transfer all audio to either a bluetooth headset or car audio use this program. It works wonderful. It doesn't reproduce the full range of sound perfectly, but it is amazing none the less.

OK so here's what I want to do.
I'm currently my Hero as a kar kit by plugging it in via my cars aux input. I also permanently use my phone to play my favorite tunes via the aux input. So when I get a call the music pauses and continues when I'm done talking.
I'm now interested in buying a bluetooth speakerphone as the hero does not have echo cancellation and audio calls echo's back horribly in my car.
Will I be able to pair the bluetooth speakerphone/headset and have music playing via the 3.5mm jack at the same time? Will calls be handled via the Bluetooth device or the audio jack?
Maybe you could ask a Mod to move this to General -> Q&As? It isn't Hero specific & you could get a bigger audience. You should mention what version of Android you'll be running though.

Ah ok, thanks for the tip.
I went ahead and bought the Bluetooth speaker without knowing the outcome. When the phone is plugged into the 3.5mm jack a headphone icon is displayed. When the bluetooth device is connected, a different bluetooth paired icon is displayed.
So what happens is exactly what I wanted - When listening to music via the 3.5mm the audio is played via the car stereo. When a call comes in the music gets paused and the audio get routed the bluetooth speaker.
Inexpensive and simple car-kit solution.
Glad you got a result - & that you posted on it
What kit did you buy to do this? I am looking to do the same!
Hello Guys. Someone could help me? My touchpad (classicnerd) plays music in the speaker but in headphones no . I booted in webOS and it played fine. Anyone with is problem?
Thanks
I have the same problem
What are you trying to listen to and which build are you using? I just tested my headphones with Classicnerd-Butta-0.1.0-v2.1-Odex and it seems to be working here. I have system volume as well as Google Music volume coming through loud and clear.
Im trying to listen some regular MP3, and I have Classicnerd-Butta-0.1.0 installed. I installed google music as well. The sound plays fine in the speakers but in headphones it doesnt play at all.
If you reboot with the headphones plugged in, you should get sound in them. (When I did that, it was way too loud, so be a little careful.)
I also found that if I unplugged the headphones, the sound went correctly to the device speakers, but plugging the phones back in returned to the "no sound in phones" state.
This is a known problem. Hopefully it will be better in the public release.
Ok with any other phone I have owned in the past I have been able to plug it in my aux jack in my car to stream music but use my BT to make/take calls. The music would pause during the call and when the call ended it would resume playing through the headphone jack.
The S4 refuses to do this, it is extremely a special kind of retarded.
I have researched CSC feature.xml and others/xml codes and build.prop
What is needed to make this work?
I dont want to use LINK as I feel it is just another layer added to what is not needed. I just want it to work like the GNex, N4, DX, Dinc, D1, D2, Charge, and all the other android phones I have owned in the past running both stock (rooted/unrooted) and CM based roms.
Anybody have an idea on what is needed?
What exactly is it refusing to do? Pause when you get a call? What music player (the player must respect the media intents to pause/mute and that has nothing to do with the phone/ROM in that respect).
If something is plugged into the headphone jack and I have a bluetooth device paired and on. When a call comes in it goes through the headphone jack and through bluetooth. If I unplug the cable from the headphone jack then it allows me to use bluetooth to take our talk on the call.
This is the only phone I have owned that does not allow me to pay music through the headphone jack and take calls through bluetooth without having to unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

I have the exact same issue with my Samsung S4 and have previously used the HTC Thunderbolt without any issue in my car the same manner.
Somehow the BT audio and mic becomes disabled during calls while the headphone jack is plugged in, if there is a way to enable this and disable audio from the headphone jack that would be the solution. So far I have not found a way to do this through any of the settings, very disappointing. It may need a programmatic solution unfortunately...
The sound quality from aux to bluetooth is minimal....why not just use bluetooth? Your making more work for yourself. You'll get calls...the audio will mute...then resume when calls end. I do this in my car...sounds and works just fine.

Guessing they don't have Bluetooth built into their cars. They are using a headset for calls and an aux jack for music.

Exactly... If u wanted my calls to route through my car I would not mind this. I take my calls privately and thus why I do it this way. I know I can setup multiple bluetooth devices and disable phone on one of them. But I have not found a bluetooth adapter to my liking yet.

Bluetooth not working correctly
This is definitely a bug on the s4. In the car I have Bluetooth and an aux Jack. The phone connects fine to Bluetooth and works as long as I'm not using the aux to play music in the car. If I'm listening to music through the aux/headphone jack and I get a call. Bluetooth recognizes the call, music on the phone stops playing, but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. If I unplug the headphone jack I can hear the call. This has been tested on different cars, different roms including stock, and always worked fine on previous phones. Can anyone help? It's easy to reproduce, not sure why more people haven't noticed.
Unfortunately, from what I read somewhere, this isn't a bug, it was intentional by Samsung.
I'm in the same boat, I use BT for my calls in the car, but the headphone jack for music out. If there's a cable plugged in, you can't even manually force a BT connection, it's grayed out and unavailable. Unplug the jack, and BT kicks in and picks up the call. Very inconvenient to say the least.
Any way around this?
I also have a question about how the Samsung will work with this in mind. In the past I have used a Motorola cable that has a micro usb plug on the phone end, and a full size usb and a 3.5mm aux out jack on the other. It allowed me to charge the phone and take the music out when docked in the car. Would this work with this phone? Has anyone tried it yet?
Here is a link to the cable I'm talking about.....

Sorry,I haven't tried that cable. Do you know why Samsung is doing that? I've had multiple phone including the galaxy nexus by Samsung abd never had this issue.

Can't just deselect the "media" (a2dp) profile for your vehicle?
Sent from my device that can send.
I just noticed the same issue with my aux plugged in for music and BT for phone and received a call but could not hear anything. Could make and end calls but no sound in my car.
Seems like both get disabled when a call comes in and the phone is paired. Unplug the aux and BT works for calls fine.
I did some research and ending up purchasing Sound About Pro from the market for $2.99 and it solved the problem. It lets you force the calls to BT or AUX for that matter.
And yes, it still pauses the music and resumes when call is done.
$2.99 to fix a Samsung problem stinks but it works now

so with the defaults and A2DP turned off you can make your calls without unplugging cable...and do you use widget to turn it on and off or does everything else work normally with it on as well? i had phone call audio set to force bluetooth and sometimes after unplugging aux cable then going to headphones it would play through speaker until i switched widget off...will try with defaults when in car again, just curious how it works with you..
thanks

Correct. All works like it should until you force something. As a matter of fact just try it without changing anything. I let app decide

thanks bud...will try
update...seems to be working great with default settings...didn't even have to purchase premium, think i might just because i was about to buy a bluetooth transmitter to fix this
I tried sound about and one problem I'm having is when using headphone jack for music and bluetooth for calls it won't play audio for voice dialing through bluetooth but once you make the call it goes to bluetooth. I use Google for voice dialing much faster than svoice. Seems like the first time it works then later after playing music it doesn't. Any setting I should change in sound about

I updated to oc1 with nk4 boot loader and now the headphone jack doesn't disable Bluetooth. Sweet.
