2 questions/problems regarding car dock - Atrix 4G Accessories

1. The music widget type thing in the dock app just repeats 5 or 6 songs... I've fiddled with all these settings and it does the same thing.
2. When talking to people on the phone I hear the persons voice through my phone speaker, how do I get it to play through my car speakers? I think I might have to turn speaker phone off because that's how it worked with the tape adapter.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.

Anyone?

This probably wont help you but I'll post anyhow. I just plug in my aux jack to the phone, all the audio pumps thru there.

Does the microphone on the phone still work this way? Considering the aux cable doesn't have a mic built into it like other hands-free headsets.

Figured out why I was only hearing like 5 songs.
Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.
And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
Oh and I called Moto and the lady talked sooooo slow, and verified everything I said like 4 times, just to say that she could just replace it. Didn't even know how to troubleshoot.

Is it impossible to edit the widgets that come pre-loaded in the car dock app?

8525 through car stereo

The stereo deck in my car has a USB port that I use with my 8 gig microdrive to store music on. My question is, why not be able to plug the 8525 into it and run audio and video through the car stereo?
Does anyone know of any software that would allow that?
Wouldn't WM5torage work for that?
I use it in the car, but I get terrible noise interference when the phone is transmitting internet stuff. It's almost unusable.
I'm using an FM transmitter though. Any ideas.... sorry if I'm hijacking your post.

why not just buy one of these and one of these?
That's my method of car audio
i hacked my OEM wired headset to have a 1/8" male miniplug, and a pair of RCA connectors.. plugs right into my aftermarket headunit.
wm5storage is what you need. Makes your phone look like a flash drive. You will have to disable advanced network functionality for it to work: Settings\Connections\Usb to PC

I don't have a USB or tape deck in my car. With the FM transmitter and the tape adapter in my other car, I still get noise when playing streaming music from SelectRadio (XM,Sirius streams) & incoming calls. The noise is like when I put my phone near unshielded speakers. I had the same problem w/my wizard. Any ideas?

I remember using FM transmitters before they started becoming popular- used it for about a month and just got fed up with all the interference. Best way to go is a hard wired solutions as other posters suggested.
Most modern stereos come with an 'AUX IN'. A2DP is also becoming a feature on higher end stereos- not sure how well it streams the music though.

I use a JVC KD-BT1 headunit in my car which supports bluetooth audio. With the JVC I can sync my phone and make phone calls through the stereo and I can also play all the audio from the phone over the bluetooth as well as control Windows Media Player. It makes for a VERY convienient and easy setup to use once configured. Also the sound quality is amazing. I was surprised that I was listening to music from my phone as it sounded like I was listening to it right off of a CD.
Now that I've moved on to the AT&T Tilt/8925/Kaiser everything still works exactly the same. The headunit even pulls up my phonebook and can make calls via voice dialing or voice command built into the phone.
Sorry to sound like an ad but I really love my setup. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer them... or even snap a pic of the install I did in my car if you'd like to see that. Now... of course this whole post won't mean much to you if you don't want to change out your factory headunit...

Bluetooth and headphone jack

I have an Acura, and every bluetooth phone I have had in the past I could pair with the car, and plug in an Aux line to the headphone jack to listen to music, then if a call came in, it would come through my spearkers.
Now with the EP4g, it comes through the speakers, but no one can hear me, and I can't hear them until I unplug the aux line.
Anyone else have a problem?
i had a conference call on my phone in the car via my AUX input today. The parties were heard through the speakers of the car and they were able to hear me, but complained about a really bad echo and that I was VERY hard to hear. These in car conference calls were fine on my EVO with the same setup. I have not tried the in car bluetooth yet as I didn't think I would need it. Will be trying that next.
Just did a test with my Nissan and had to pull out the AUX cable before I could hear the other end on my speakers. The other end said they could hear me the entire time.
Something is going on with the aux cable. I really like the phone, but I don't like trying to figure **** out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291889
I was under the impression that the mic becomes disabled when the AUX cable is in. Had similar behavior on my old Palm Centro. It went into "headset" mode and the mic turned off. In my thread, someone said that it is working fine. Perhaps there is something else causing it?
Do you use or does the Samsung voice dial app automatically launch when you put your aux cable in? Mine does. The mic does not work for it either. Maybe its the culprit?
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
Its just an aux cable, no mic to it. I plug it in and dont see anything in the status bar and no apps launch.
Right, but when the AUX cable is put in, the Microphone on the epic is disabled, at least that's my working theory. IDK, maybe its just something with mine, but at the moment, no-one can hear me when the aux cable is installed, and i cannot use the voice search applications
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
I will give that a try, any idea what that mode does? Manual doesn't really help.

VCO stands for Voice carry over. I could be wrong on the exact purpose, but i understand that it is designed to allow those with hearing impediments but capable of speaking to use their own voice while their speaker is hooked up to another device to assist in hearing.
Basically, it keeps the microphone on the device "ON" while the audio is outputted to another device. In our case, the car speakers.
Otherwise, when the device is outputting audio, it is looking for another source of voice input. If you car had a hands-free option built in, it would work just fine without changing the setting as the voice input would be coming from the hands free option.
Just a guess really. Glad its working for me, hope it works for you!
Yes it wierd, My car does have bluetooth built in, but when the aux cable is plugged in it doesn't send sound to the handsfree. Not sure what the issue is.

Can anyone also confirm that this works?
I have an iphone 4s right now, but I really want to go back to android and get a GSII, but that bluetooth problem was a big hassle when I had the Epic 4G. However, with the Epic 4G, someone wrote an app that would allow you to reroute sound through bluetooth with the aux was plugged in. I'm hoping there's a fix out there...

Samsung branded t989 Navigation Car Dock QUESTION/ISSUE

I received the car dock yesterday and am having an issue that might be a deal breaker for me.
I am using Juggernaut v5.0 (rom and the kernel that it comes with).
Videos and music play fine through the speakers, but calls are not. I looked at all the settings that it could be and cannot seem to find it.
When docked and I get a call, its through the speaker of the phone only and NOT through the cars speakers like music and videos do.
For those that dont know or dont have the dock, your car charger and auxiliary cable plug into the dock itself and everything runs through the charging port of the phone.
I need to be able to hear my callers via the car speaker when docked or I might have to run the dock.
Any help or suggestion(s) would be grand. Thanks for your time.
Or does anyone have a stock t989 and also own the Samsung OEM Navigation Car Dock that can verify that the stock rom gets call audio through the car speakers when docked?
Weird, I flashed this today and still no Call Audio through the car speakers when docked.
I hope there is a fix very soon. Kind of makes the car dock useless.
Did you checked that:
settings; dock settings; audio output mode. I had the same problem before.

Yes, first thing I checked.
You are able to get Call Audio out from the car speakers when docked?
Hi, FYI have the very same issue with SGS4G with stock (T-Mobile) Gingerbread and its OEM Samsung navigation car dock/mount; I would therefore assume this to be a common Samsung issue
Check this post... We've got a discussion on this going on...

[Q] How can I autoswap to headphones plug while connected to a bluetooth headset?

I am synced to a Plantronics stereo bluetooth headset, get into my car and plug my aux cable into my phone to swap my audio over to my car. My old Atrix would automagically swap over the headphone audio out, yet leave my voice synched for taking calls. So far I have not found a way to do that on the xperia play, so I am hoping you guys might have some pointers. The audio continues to play through the headset, and not aux cable. I know I can go into settings and kill the media pairing, but honestly, that is a pain due to synching issues.
I looked at Tasker, and there is a way to kill voice, but not the media portion of bluetooth. Has anyone ran into this issue, or know if an app/workaround?
Thanks!

hmm have you tried Google it? I bet that there is a mod, setting or app for it somewhere.

Yeah, I google'd, forum searched, and just generally looked. No go. I was hoping someone on here might have run across this before. I guess I can just hope that Tasker adds a bluetooth media profile sometime soon.

Not going to be closed minded about that suggestion, and give a chance, but using Facebook Authentication? Really? I despise Facebook but I'll suck it up and give this a try. Thanks.

Control Music while Driving

Looking for some headset type adapter that i can use and plug into my cassette adapter, like you know press once to pause, press twice to advance and three times to go back.
I have tried bluetooth/FM transmitters and they degrade the quality and have to much static, or maybe blutooth adapter that has a headphone jack.
Its a pain to control music while driving with all android devices I have owned, that requiring unlocking the screen and making sure to press the correct buttons etc.
Or maybe there is a car doc for the S3 that puts the phone in dock mode and keeps the screen on like a GPS?
You can buy an adapter that's mic used to turn an ordinary headphones into a wired headset. They normally have a button on them one press to pause 2 to skip etc. I bought one from shure awhile ago.
Link please, I also just found out the Infuses 4G car mount actually fits and works with th s#. Now i just have to find a place that sells or at least ships to Canada.

see my car is not fancy enough that it has a remote which if it did would solve all my problems. I think the best option here is to buy Car Home Ultra. Its 2 bucks and the trial actually works good and has built in media controls, so you don't need to navigate away from the screen.
This works out best coz i can buy a universal dock so all 3 drivers can use the dock and have the same function since they are all Android or at least until i can find a infuse car mount.

amazon sells it. You can also modify the resistors inside and get the volume buttons to work too.
i'm not sure if you know but the S3 also has voice control if you're using the stock music app.
it only works well if there is zero cabin noise while driving. the 2nd mic is terrible when it comes to background noise suppression.
just turn on "Voice cmd for apps" under "Language and Input" in the Settings.
^ Thanks I know and have it enabled. I use it for my alarm and tried the music app as well. I find i have to yell at the phone especially to turn the dam alarm of in the morning.
@sbddude Will check out its exactly what i need. Still will get a cheap universal dock + Car Home Ultra.
