I have the exact same issue in my car, tried everything to get around it. You just have to unplug the auxiliary cable when you get a call incoming.

Get an A2DP cd player and you don't need to worry about auxiliary. It's all done through bluetooth. This is what I got

It has something to do with TTY settings. I also have this issue.
I hope someone could figure out how to fix this. I have to take out the aux cord whenever I get a call in my G35.
*UPDATE* So I did some searching and it looks like the original Epic had the same issue but was fixed via OTA update. Hopefully Samsung/Sprint is aware of this issue.
other forums have mentioned this problem "Received confirmation from Samsung that there will be no fix for this. It was made this way on purpose. I guess the Epic 4g does the same thing. I am not buying a $400 stereo system just to use this phone properly. What was Samsung thinking? Every other Android device works the correct way."
I haven't called samsung myself but this is absolutely ridiculous if it was made this way on purpose. full thread here (well because i don't have 8 posts to this forum, i can't post the full thread link! it's on android forums at android central.com. you can access the thread by doing this search "No car kit bluetooth while Aux stereo cord is plugged in" sorry!
what possible reason would there be to have to unplug the auxillary jack to use bluetooth? it's an incredible inconvenience. and i would rather not use an A2DP adapter to play music, i'm assuming that this would eat up more battery life than using the auxillary 3.5 mm jack
anyone know of a ROM that get's past this issue?
Same situation

Try this:

Plugs in to your car deck and allows you to use Bluetooth to stream music to it.
I think you can pair both your headset or BT speaker phone and the Blubridge to your phone at the same time.

Buying something else is not a solution.
This is some type of design flaw.
What a completely useless technical support they have. "This is how the phone was designed and we cannot change that"
Last samsung product I will buy. They have no concept of customer service.
This is a design flaw. Bluetooth should be completely independant of the audio jack.
What they want is you to use the dock for use in the car so it can be hands free. Unfortunately if its true they don't intend to fix with an OTA then the only option is to use the functionality they have given you. The headphone jack takes priority over other connections in this instance. Sorry. I am sure you don't want this to be the resolution.

Take the car out of the equation. I am using a Jabra headset to take calls, but have the phone plugged into an external speaker to listen to music at my desk.
Call comes in, I have to unplug the speaker to use bluetooth.
What dock would affect this?

Similar scenario for me. I listen to Sirius/XM through earbuds at work. When the phone rings, I have to unplug the earbuds to hear through my Bluetooth headset. Then I have to tell the caller to wait while I exit the Sirius app because it keeps on playing through my Bluetooth headset.
Wrote about this issue to my local Samsung office.
Answer was:
That's the way device works. Only one source can be used: jack or bluetooth.
Not both together.
I don't have words to describe how this is lame.
Just stupid, audio should be independant of the source.
All my past phones have worked fine. Evo would pause the music, I take the call, when I end the call, the music picks back up and plays.
Terrible design, and while I could live with it if Samsung agreed it should be fixed, them simply saying "thats how it is, live with it" is not acceptable. I will not get another samsung phone because of their poor service.
Let alone the stupid kernel partition they use.
Back to HTC.

Hmm, reading the other thread got me thinking.
I know there are different AUX cables, some have two bars (looking at the male part that plugs into the jack) and some have 3.
I wonder if there is a different behavior between the two. Maybe the phone is thinking there is a headset plugged into the aux jack.
Installed 2.3.6
I can confirm that problem is fixed.
When there is incoming call, it's routed to bluetooth headset, music is shutdown.
Navigation warnings in headset are heard as short beeps.
Great !!!

Hello all,
For those who have the official 3-pin car dock, have you experienced this problem:
After removing the phone from the car dock, if you get an incoming call you are unable to hear the person calling you. You have to hang up and call them back in order to hear them properly.
I have experienced this on ICS and now Jellybean, it is extremely irritating. I had someone call for a job interview and I could not hear them, but they could hear me.
If anyone has a fix/workaround, that would be great.
UPDATE: I suspect the issue is with having it connected to the car via Bluetooth with music playing via auxiliary via the pogo pins , after that you are unable to hear the first call through the handset after leaving the car.
Have you checked your in call volume? Since the phone fits so tightly in the dock, sometimes when I remove the phone it presses the volume rocker down and lowers all of my volumes. You might want to check to see if that's happening to you.
Thanks, I'll try check that today. I would feel ridiculous if that were the problem, but I'm fairly certain its not since hanging up and calling right back fixes it.
It's interesting that you don't have this problem, are you also connected to the car via Bluetooth? Also what ROM are you running.

Do you mean that the Official Car Dock uses Bluetooth to transfer audio? I remember that there was a teardown of the desk dock in this sub-forum (I'm having trouble finding it in, for some odd reason...) that came to the conclusion that there was no Bluetooth and the audio was transfered using the pogo pins, like it is on (as far as I know) all the other pogo pin-equipped devices. (HTC Nexus One, MyTouch 4G, Rhyme, One X, etc.). For some reason the Android blogs and these forums spread the idea that Bluetooth is used, but it appears otherwise.
In other words, would you please clarify how you are connecting an external audio device to the phone.
Thanks,

Hi,
Here is the set up in my car:
Phone dock is connected to the audio auxiliary port on the car stereo for music. (The pogo pins on the phone send audio from the phone to the aux port on the base of the dock). The Phone is also simultaneously connected to the car hands-free system via Bluetooth. In my car, music goes the the auxiliary but calls come in over the bluetooth. (My car does not have the package to support Bluetooth audio streaming, only voice.)
I hope that makes it clear?
Hi
Does anyone know of such a thing as a Bluetooth audio hub?
I want to connect my GNex to my existing car stereo via bluetooth, I guess plugged in to the stereo via line input.
It needs to route both audio from media files (podcast) and calls. I assume that it would therefore need a mic for calls.
But in addition to this, I have my music collection on a separate mp3 player (also with bluetooth). So ideally, I'd like both devices to be able to connect, to listen to music from one device but have calls interrupt it from another.
Does such a thing even exist?
At the moment I have a line cable from my GNex to the stereo and a crappy bluetooth visor kit. I have to swap the line cable from my phone to my mp3 if I want to change what I'm listening to. It's far from ideal, and the GNex doesn't even fit in it's holder when I'm listening, thanks to the headphone socket being on the bottom of the device.
i have the jabra sp700, it works via BT to the jabra, then FM to stereo. the fm modulations gets a lot of static because i live in a high radio traffic area and the sound seems quieter than via aux input.
i made a custom aux input for my car and i have been using that lately, sound is much better, more clear.
you may get better results if you used something that goes from BT to wired output to plug into your aux input.
I am using this http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857. Works wonderful. But for 2 Devices, i think the new HTC Connect works for what you want.

That's exactly what I'm looking for, though I guess it'd also need a mic built in.
I've used an FM transmitter before, but as you say the need to keep retuning is a problem. Plus, the need to plug it into the bottom of my GNex means it's not an option because of the cradle, which hides the output.
The Belkin thing looks good, but what I don't get is why an FM receiver costs about £20, a basic BT headset or visor set costs about £20 but something in between (i.e. a BT receiver with wired output) costs £80??

It works good, sometimes you will find hitting the button twice to resume music does not work. NO biggie either toggle Bluetooth on\off or manually hit play on the GNex. For some reason though, it will re pair but not resume music, calls always work as normal over Bluetooth.
Does it work with two devices? I guess not? (i.e. music from one, calls from another?)

Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset BH-221
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692169
In the thread they stated that the BH-214 supported dual devices, not sure if they got the the 221 to do the same.
From the thread ;
As for a dual connection, the 214 supports it, which I didn't realize until having my EVO be the primary media device on the 214/221 (unchecking the "Connect to Phone" option under EVO's BT Settings) & making the Nexus the primary phone device (unchecking the "Connect to Media" option). Since I don't have any cell service on the EVO, I can't verify that it'd connect to the phone anyway, but I know I can get my Nexus to connect to both phone/media if the EVO BT isn't on or near.
I'm pretty sure this one doesn't handle 2 devices at once, but if you're looking for something with a built in microphone and is very unobtrusive you might consider the BlueTrip Aux. I've been using it for about a month and it has worked well for me.
The Nokia ones look perfect! Is the mic part of the little clip unit? Guess so...
TomTom MKI9200 here. Two phones synced and supports A2DP. Works well with GNex 4.1. Supports USB mass storage, SD card and regular line in too.
No idea about standalone MP3 player via BT. Does anyone still use them?

I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running CNA 3.4.1. I've only used the headphone jack maybe twice before to listen to music and everything worked just as it should. Recently however, i tried plugging in some regular headphones and when i played my music it came out the speakers. So i tried a few different headphones and some speakers and still the same problem. The little headphone icon that usually shows up in the status bar doesn't show up. I looked inside the 3.5mm jack and its clean, no lint, bent wires, anything. But no matter what i do i can't seem to get any headset to work. I'm forced to use my bluetooth adapter for my speakers.
This isn't a grave issue as i may rarely use headphones at all. But knowing that option isn't there anymore is just an inconvenience.
Any help appreciated. No rush. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and knows how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Turns out after trying to play music through my bluetooth adapter it doesn't work. Bluetooth is connected, my speakers are hooked up, and the music is playing on my phone. Just no sound at all. This is a big deal! It's as if my phone won't play audio through anything but the internal speaker.
Again any help is appreciated.

I did that and still did not recognize it. Feels like my only option left is to open the phone and see if something was disconnected or get a new one.
Alright, just got a new used car.
For my current phone (Captivate) and any future phones/tablets I buy (Nexus/7) I just wanted to know which decks that anyone out there has been using that works well for calls and playing music.. My BT Motorola T305 speakerphone is a bit spotty and would like to just integrate everything into the deck.
For reference, the devices will be plugged in while in the car, so power consumption is not an issue. Thanks all.

Jabras are usually the best for cars..try them out..
Dension Car Dock(nice design, power usb and audio line or FM) or bluetooth kit for stock radio.
I have only used Kenwood and Alpine decks.
The Kenwood has better noise cancelling external mic for calls. Problem with Kenwoods was the bluetooth features weren't the same across decks, as price went up you got more bluetooth profiles(say like A2DP). i.e low end deck has bluetooth for calls only, higher end had you could call and stream music with car stereo as output speaker without having to hook in a cable.
The Alpine was more of the same, didn't like the external mic as much. For Apple products which you don't have it had integrated Pandora to control the app from the stereo. My next purchase may revolve around how it handles the phone address book.
Hi there --
I'm a recent convert to the GS3 (and Android in general) from an iPhone 4. About all the music I listen to in my car was from my iPhone, and I want to do the same with my GS3, however, the sound quality from the 3.5mm jack to the AUX in on my car's deck is absolutely awful. I have to turn the volume much higher than I ever did with my iPhone or iPod, and even then the sound quality is very poor -- there is very little punch/bass in the music.
I've been researching a possible "USB car dock cable" which would allow me to get line out audio (rather than through the regular headphone jack) through the USB port on the bottom of the phone, but it seems the only solution is to buy a dock or DIY the cable yourself, nobody seems to sell them (and I'm not really willing to DIY a cable).
Any ideas what I might be able to do to improve the audio quality? I absolutely love the phone, but this is a pretty big caveat for me.
Mine sounds great, do headphones sound ok? Maybe your aux port is effed up. If that's the case exchange it ASAP. Are you rooted? Custom rom? Stock?

Headphones sound fine from my GS3, and other devices (iPhone/iPod) sound great on the same AUX jack in my car.
I am rooted running the leaked Bell Jellybean Touchwiz ROM.
Be interested to see what replies there are to this. I have the exact same problem. I find the volume is way too quiet and if I turn up the audio on my stereo I get an awful hissing noise. I have no problems on my sensation XE, only GS3. Headphones work fine so I seriously doubt its the aux port on the phone.

I also found that first link, but it only works on the International version of the GS3, I have the AT&T i747.
I have a 07 lexus, with an older bluetooth profile that does not allow for streaming music. I found a belkin product, caraudio connect, that will create a streaming a2dp profile through my aux port. On my s3/att/ics (stock), everything worked great. I had a profile for my phone audio and another for my media audio, and could connect both at the same time. This was great as i did not have to switch to aux for phone calls.
However, i had issues with hiss, drops, static, engine noise, etc. I had used many ground loop isolators in the RCA/car audio world, but never one on a 3.5mm stereo (double pole) connection. After adding the inline isolator from my aux port to the belkin product, my engine noise disappeared! I also found that when i updated to JB (CM10/sapir), both bluetooth profiles could operate at the same time without any interference issues on each profile.
If you have any questions on my rig, let me know.

Sorry, im new so it doesn't let me post outside links.

Ground loop isolator: Check out amazon, PAC Ground loop isolator for 3.5 MM applications. should be about 10 bucks.

Interesting topic. I've had issues with other phones where the volume couldn't be turned all the way up, as that would cause distortion. Have you tried turning your volume down a couple notches? I use my phone plugged into my car stereo all the time with zero distortion.
Could be hardware problem?

I just got the galaxy s3. Moved over from iPhone land. But am disappointed with this issue.
When I use the aux in via headphone jack and charge at the same time I get a horrible whine cracking and popping noise. This is unusual to me as I never had this issue with any of my I phones (3g and 4). This seems like a glaring oversight on Samsung part.
