[Q] Galaxy Alpha and Car Stereos? - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

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.

Contact dev and tell him to add It

Which BT-receiver for the car?

Hello!
I would like to ask which Bt-receiver is 100% compatible with the Samsung galaxy S in order to flawlessly stream audio over it.
AFAIK there are light A2DP issues with S2, or am i wrong?
What do you mean? Which headunit works? What car do you have? What have you been looking at?
Yeh there are some issues mainly just abit of skipping and poping. Nothing too major.
I just want to stream wirelessly the music from my phone to a bt/receiver tha will be connected with an AUX/Line in connector of my BMW.
I saw the belkin receiver working great with iphones but having problems with galaxy s.
Has anyone tested any receiver?

[Q] Is USB Audio Out possible when docked

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).

All Car Stereos won't recoginize S4 over USB!!!

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.

Android USB audio output NOT working in my car

Hi People!
Here's the story.
I have a Fiat 500 with a 2015 Fiat original USB radio. It does not support bluetooth audio streaming. Only AUX through 3.5mm jack or USB AUX. Or well, I should buy one of those bluetooth aux dongles.
If I plug an iPhone via USB, I can listen to Spotify though my car hifi with no hassle, using a normal micro USB (+thunderbolt adapter) to USB cable.
I have tried to do the same with 3 android phones:
- Samsung Galaxy S6 NOUGAT stock 7.0 rooted
- Samsung Galaxy S7 OREO stock 8.0 rooted
-Samsung Galaxy S3 NEO Nougat AOSP 7.1.2 rooted
No chances to tell the phone to send the audio through the mini USB port. I am using the same cable that I used for the iPhone, without the thunderbolt adapter, obviously.
My phones are all rooted and I have tried to modify the usb functionality inside the Android developer options. I have also tried an app (Audio Router 2.2 updated on 2018-01-22) that sould force the usb audio routing, but with no luck.
Is there anything I am missing? I have tried android auto but it did not let me add Spotify to the dashboard.
