I previously owned the Samsung GS3, but returned it for the Optimus G. I was able to get audio out through USB on the GS3, so when it was docked in the car, I could connect to my car's audio aux input to get audio. I haven't found a way to get audio out through USB on the Optimus. Does anyone know of a way?

so far the only docks i've seen for the optimus g have been bluetooth with the usb port only used for charging...
from what i understand, the reason it worked with your GS3 is because it was running jellybean and jellybean supports USB audio.

hopefully when jellybean comes out for our device, LG will have it enabled (or someone will make it happen with a custom rom).

I have searched without any luck for a stereo dock that doesnt use the headphone jack. I have a logitech for my old iphone that u just set the phone in it and use the remote. Has anyone come across one for the galaxy s2 yet?
I believe there's one made by Philips which is available at Best Buy.

thanks,
I found this one too AS851 (Cant link yet). Comes with a remote and is 30 watts. They say you cant stream music thru the micro usb, but then how does the unit send audio and video to a HDMI cable, so I would think its possible. shrug

All of those docks use Bluetooth to stream the audio. From what I know the USB port on the bottom doesn't have the ability to natively send audio out of the pins. I would love to have a simple dock too for this phone that would let audio out without having to jack in on the top of the phone, but it's just not designed that way.
I used to have an ATT "Fuze" (touch pro) - used to have to carry a dongle everywhere with me to plug in headphones. I'm much happier that I don't need a dongle, but it does suck to have to plug in 2 things in the car to get audio and charge at the same time.

Hello everyone. I am and android guy but I have and older ipod I use for my car that I would like to replace with an android player. I currently have a digital aux out to usb to charge and aux cable. With this cable the sound coming out is great. I have not been able to find any other players other then the ipod/iphone that sound this good.
Now i have a photon that when using the car dock has audio out but its not full raw out and dose not sound good at call like the ipod out set up I have.
I was wondering if there is a way I can hook the the SGP in my car like how I have my current ipod. If not would there be a way to make a cable. I see that someone was able to make a cable for the att samsung phone.
Any imput that you all can give would be great.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, I read these forums occasionally, but this is my first time to post. My problem is (seemingly) pretty straightforward.
When I connect my Droid RAZR MAXX or ASUS Transformer to my HD monitor, the video displays fine, but there is no sound. I suspect this is because the monitor does not have any speakers, but I was hoping there would be a way to just let the audio play from the device. That's what my laptop does when connected via VGA (which might not support audio anyway; I don't know a lot about the different inputs/outputs).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
arnax
VGA does not support audio. Ive never done any of these but maybe they will work. Get a hdmi to VGA adaptar and then use an auxillary cord to hook up to monitor. Plug a headset into your phone to hear it that way. Or the simple solution get speakers for ur monitor.
As far as I know there is no way to use hdmi without the audio being played through the hdmi. Not just for phones but everything hdmi.
Thanks, I tried using headphones with my phone and that worked, so I suppose hooking up speakers to it should work too. I don't believe my monitor has a way to hook up speakers directly unfortunately...
I just got a new Chevy 2014 Silverado Truck that has USB and Bluetooth connectivity for Music/Podcasts/Pandora etc....
My wife's iphone 5c works through the USB for music on the phone and pandora/spotify. She can plug in the phone to the usb and control all audio right from the truck Stereo.
But my Samsung S4 won't work at all. Just through Bluetooth and that is kind of flaky too. I have tried to change the settings on the USB connection in the phone when I connect it. I change it MTP and still doesn't work.
I don't think its the truck because my wife's phone works and USB thumb drives work with music also.
Update:
I even just bought a new head unit for my Car. 2014 Pioneer x8600BH that claims it works directly with Android through USB with MTP....
Wrong! It doesn't work with my freaking S4! Why is it so hard for Samsung to work through USB with other devices?!
Bump....
Anyone have any luck with Chevy Silverado or even what Aftermarket radio's to buy?

That's because it doesn't push sound through USB...just Bluetooth and headphones Jack... There probably is no remedy for this but maybe there is...I just use aux cable from headphones jack to jack on my stereo

I am assuming that he is looking to use his s4 as a hdd that his head unit can read the data on when in MTP. I also was in a Chevy vehicle with stock cord and stock room and this was an issue that I never got solved.
Sorry I can't help more.

Is the phone it works with also a Verizon S4?
I think the problem is likely Verizon and not Samsung. Verizon put a ridiculous "installer mode" on their S4 that afaik isn't possible to disable and automatically activates first each time you plug your phone into something with USB. So the device you're plugging it into will see just a CDROM, and then 30s later it will change to MTP. If the device isn't able to handle that change it won't be able to work with a Verizon S4.
You can fix that by flashing a non-TW/non-VZW rom, but if you're not on MDK that's not an option...
There MAY be a way to disable the installer mode or enable UMS mode with a Safestrap rom, but I'm not sure on that.
What ROM are you on? I have an slightly older Kenwood deck that didn't work on stock 4.1.2 with USB but now that I'm on a non tw ROM it works fine. Its a touchscreen Bluetooth deck and my Bluetooth connection was OK. But not ideal the USB works much better.
I have a Canadian s4 sgh i337m that I flashed to look like a gt-19505 can't tell you which Roms worked for me but I'm on dandvhs Google rom now and it works for me. Hopefully you find some luck with a different rom

I have a 2013 Malibu with the same radio software and I'm pretty sure the USB only works with iOS. The music app on the stereo is called "iPod" after all.
I have an American Verizon S4 with a 64gb Samsung SDcard... I am running HyperDrive 15 on MK2 safestrapped.
My new Radio in my car is a Pioneer DEH-x8600BH and I can't get the USB to work with it... It says MTP is supported but I think it doesn't support the change in the settings after being plugged in.
Hey all I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any aftermarket car stereos that will work with the galaxy alpha running 4.4.4 via USB connection I know the newer pioneer stereos connect via USB to android devices with MTP I'm not a fan of having to use the Aux port of my stereo or bt audio
Sadly that is why I'm having to getting rid of this phone as it doesn't have MHL and won't work with my Kenwood Excelon DDX8901HD radio. I would check out Crutchfield, they are helpful.
