[Q] Samsung car dock with Nero V3 - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anybody using it? I'm having trouble getting audio output to work.

I haven't tried it yet but do you have it hooked up in your car when your trying it?

Yes, I got everything connected. When I put the phone on the dock, the icon for car mode shows up. I thought that this feature was going to start working it 2.2, am I wrong?

I just got mine in the mail tonight and tried it out on a quick trip to the store. The Audio Out doesn't work with Nero v3. I played Avatar and sound only came out through the back speaker (ringer). I wonder if the 'stock_jk6v2.zip' TW put out earlier will work. I might reflash to give it a try. If I can get it working, I'll forget all about the built-in iPod connected I gave up when I traded in my old car .

2.1 Rom Bluetooth simple secure pairing (SSP)

Hey all,
I have been using my Eris with a bluetooth Stereo for a quite a while, but when I rooted the phone over to a 2.1 ROM it started using Simple Secure Pairing (SSP) when authenticating the bluetooth headphones. My car stereo doesn't support this (its brand new too...).
So, the question is has anyone ever looked into disabling SSP and forcing it to use the old static key method of pairing in 2.1?
I am not adverse to diving in and doing the dev work, I just wanted to make sure someone hasn't already done it. If I do need to dive in does anyone know if its possible to disable it via a config file, or will I need to backport the bluez stack?
Thanks for all the great work,
traetox
I too am having this issue. Worked fine in 1.5 but ever since root it will play audio through pioneer head unit but phone won't connect. I will patiently await a fix.

Oh, so that's what's up.
I'm having a similar problem with my Jabra Cruiser bluetooth speakerphone/FM transmitter. What mine does, though, is it will connect and I can use it to listen to music and do the normal speakerphone functions like it normally would, but none of the media buttons will work anymore. It's not a huge inconvenience, since I mount my phone in the car anyway (long commute). It's only a problem if I need to have Google Navigation in the foreground but still want to change songs.
Patiently waiting. You devs are awesome, if you don't get enough sycophantic slobbering already.
ok, so I did some digging on mine and it turns out that I can pair with a simple bluetooth headset via the '0000' key. But the phone attempts to go through the full key negotiation to connect the "bluetooth headphones." So i can get audio via the headset negotiated connection, but it sounds awful without full AD2P.
I am getting a ROM kitchen setup and will try and map the 1.5 bluez stack onto the 2.1 source and see where that gets me.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for working on this! I've tried to incorporate some of the Bluetooth files as well as the WLAN.ko from other roms into my Rom but have been unsuccesful. I am running damage control 2.08 that I ported. I was originally unable to get WiFi or Bluetooth to work until I copied the WLAN.ko from the oc patch now both work minus the phone. Don't know if this helps but figured i let you know. If you have those files from a 1.5 Rom I will try them in my port and let you know what the results are.

I have a Jabra Crusier, and I'm having an issue with a lot of ROMs where I can not connect to it and stream music over bluetooth. I have found that Aloysius v6 Maps rom by Spencer Moore works well with the bluetooth thing. You may have to connect and disconnect a few times here and there to get it to connect, but it's been the best ROM for it. I used V11 Maps and it worked for a little while, but stopped connecting properly just recently.
There are a few known bugs with v6, but I'm fiddling with V11 to try and get the bluetooth to stay perm. Once I get it, I'll let Spencer Moore know and get him any new updates I come across.
Just an update. I am able to pair and connect to phone using white widow Rom.

[Q] samsung desk dock and audio output

I bought on of the fancy desktop docks for my samsung vibrant... after reading the simple instructions on how it works yada yada... it simply says that the audio output on the dock will not work until they release a 2.2 rom... so what im wondering is why i cant for the life of me see any settings to switch it on in my jk6 rom or have they just not gotten around to implementing audio through the usb yet? and does anyone know if there is a mod to get it to work?
Nobodys had an issue like this yet?
I just received the official car and desk docks today (ordered from Samsung mobile accessories page).
I'm running FROYO.UVJK2 (Kernel 2.6.32.9).
When I put the phone in the car dock, a "Car Mode Activated" icon (looks like a steering wheel) shows up in the task bar. The 3.5mm audio jack on the back of the dock does not output audio (Bluetooth Audio works fine). Also, the "Car Home" app does not launch like I would have hoped (I downloaded this from the Market as it was not installed with this build).
The desk dock does even less than that. When I put the phone in the desk dock, there is no indication that its docked at all. The charging port does work, but like the car dock, the 3.5mm jack does nothing (apparently).
There was a small red sticker on the back of the car dock that said that the 3.5 mm "headphone jack" would only work with Android 2.2 and later.
I'm hoping to have the same experience I had with my Nexus 1 in the Google Car/Desk docks (automatically go into car/desk mode and audio ports become active).
I'll keep digging around and see if I can figure out whats going on .
Edits:
I should also add that I'm currently running LauncherPro with this build
Also, Perhaps this thread would get more interest if it was in the Accessories section?
Updated to jl5 and then to nero³ issues still exsist... why sell a product that doesnt work properly because of the lack of software support from your company.... and how does it know its a car dock as opposed to a normal charger?
With the car dock, the phone is definitely detecting the dock when it's connected. The "Car Mode" icon (Steering Wheel) appears on the notification bar. However, the Samsung "Car Home" app does not automatically launch.
The Desk Dock appears to be nothing more than a charging cradle. With the build I'm using now, the phone doesn't change modes in any discernable way, and when the phone is docked, and the dock is connected to the computer, it doesn't detect the device (although it does charge). I have to take the phone out of the cradle and connect the cable directly to get get a connection (Odin/Kies, etc...).
As far as getting the phone to go into 'Car Home' or "Desk Home", I found an app called "Locale" in the marketplace that shows a lot of promise for being able to have the phone change state based on various conditions (location, connections, orientation, app state,etc....). I have it working successfully using the car dock to have it launch Car Home (or whatever app you want). Unfortuantely, I'm not having the same luck with "Desk Home".
Locale is really amazing, but it is pricey ($9.99 US), and a lot of the functionality depends on user provided plugins (there are plenty.. some free, some about $1 US).
Back to the hardware. I'm happy with it generally, but frustrated that the audio jacks don't work. I can work around this in the car, as I can sync to my car stereo with bluetooth, but I would prefer to use the 3.5mm jack for many reasons.
I was going to try the Nero v.3 ROM today (still may) to see if that worked, but someone posted here that it wasn't working.
I'm wondering if this the dock support is something that has to be built into the ROM? Or is it part of the core? I'm guessing the latter.
It will be my luck that this will start working right about the time I order my Optimus X2 when it comes out
I'm using the dock with an international i9000 with firmware XXJPY and the standard media player does actually put out sound through the dock. My problem is I use spotify for my music which doesn't happen to do the same thing. Would there be anyway to force it to play through the usb audio out?
I use the dock with an unbranded, unlocked international GT-I9000. Could not get the Home Desk app to work, it would always crash with or without the dock (ver 1.0.1 available from mediafire.com - can't post the link since I'm a "new user" ). Then somebody passed on to me directly rev 1.0 of that app (can't find it anywhere on the net) and it all started to work. First I was on froyo 2.2 (XXJPA) and now I'm on froyo 2.2.1 (XXJPY) meaning:
- Home Desk app automatically kicks in when the phone is inserted into the dock
- Music does pass on to the dock audio jack but first must un-select the "Internal Speaker" option in the Home Desk app
- Works with the stock GT-I9000 player which is accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon (that icon appears to be hard wired to the stock player)
- Works with a third party player (I use PowerAMP) which can not be accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon - but there is a limitation
The limitation I see is that since the 3rd party player can not be invoked or accessed via the Home Desk app Music icon, one must exit the Home Desk app to get to the music controls (like volume since the hard buttons are covered by the dock!!!) - and during that time the sound cuts off from the external audio jack . The sound returns once the Home Desk app is invoked again (with the Android Home button). But when the Home Desk app Music icon is used to get to the stock player the sound does not cut off. Sounds like the Home Desk app has the sound integration via USB and so when it is not active the music cuts off. Unfortunately I know of no option that would redirect that icon to an alternate player. Maybe somebody can figure that out?
BTW – UI of the Home Desk app that I use (rev 1.0) looks different than UIs posted by others . See the attachments.
WhatISee and AsPostedByOthers:
the fix is here for the desk/car dock!!
So I have been waiting for this moment for months sense I purchased my Samsung desk dock and car dock...
For all that are wondering go to the market and seach for samsung car home and / or samsung desk home.
When you do you will see that there are now two apps that will appear for each app that will look the same.
tap on them and read the discription. one of the apps will say that it is Froyo compatible to fix audio.
download them, when you click on the app to open it> select the samsung car home not the google car home that so many of us Nero/Bionix users love ;(
when that opens you will see that there is now a icon on the top right part of the screen that has a picture of a speaker. Tap the icon and it will switch to the docks 3.5mm out put!
P.S. if you listen to other music players aside from the music saved on the phone ie. (pandora) start the car home app or desk home app and hit the home button go to apps and open the app you want to listen to. Wish they had allowed us to add apps to the apps home screen but this work around will do the trick until someone incorparates it into google car home..
If this helped you please hit the thanks button! and enjoy!
@lovemysgs - I don't see anything for Samsung Home/Car Desk in the market . Is it because my GT-I900 is unbranded?

What ROM are you using? I know that sometimes when I have flashed other ROMS the Dev has not or forgets to update market.
I am using Bionix V and it showed up there today.

Hm, I'm new to Android so be gentle. I did not do anything to the phone other than flash it to 2.2.1 via Kies. In About Phone it says:
Model: GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build: FROYO.XXJPY

The dock has a 3.5 jack on the back. Sound is piped to it via phone's USB but only if the Home Desk app is running with the "Internal Speaker" option deselected (must have froyo as well). I don't think however that this works for phone functions, I think that it only works for music.
Just got my official one today, sitting at my desk trying it out. After a little saying "please" (and removing the Google Car Home that I loved), I got it to work, and gmail notifications are coming through the 3.5 mm on the dock.
I went into the market and downloaded the "Car Home Samsung Vibrant 2" (I could not see it in my phone market, so I went to the web market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.tmo.carhome1&feature=search_result )
This app has the speaker button on it, along with a brightness button,and an exit button.
When I turned off the internal speaker, the notifications seemed to work on mine (Bionix-v 1.3.1 with OverStock)
Hope that helps!
It's not elegant, but I just cut away that corner of the dock to make room for the audio plug, and that worked great for me. Instructions here:

[Q] dock + 351 + HDMI

My mate just lent me his dock for the streak, but I cant get hdmi out happening.
I flashed 351, factory reset, n whatnot.
When I plug it into the dock, it def recognizes it, because it asks me if it should switch from the device audio to the dock audio and loads the clock application.
But thats it. When I load the dell audio app and click the "hdmi" button, its erroring on me with "no hdmi found"
the same cable does work with any other device I plug it into tho.
since this is a dell rom, I am sure the HDMI should be working, I am just missing a step somewhere. What is this magical step?
cheers
blues
really? no one with a 351 rom having a dock that can confirm test this?
I've flashed to 351 recently, but haven't tried HDMI output since then. I'll try this at home tonight and post back to let you know how it goes.
Just tried this with the dock connected to my TV and could see the videos and the slideshow all fine on the TV with the stock Gallery app.
thanks for the control test mate, ill ID the problem with my setup now.
much appreciated

cleanROM ICS 2.3 Blue tooth

I have been coming across an issue with Bluetooth that I was wondering if anyone else has had any issues with. I was hoping the latest update would fix this but unfortunately it did not. I have bluetooth setup in my car where when I connect the phone to it the phone portion works fine I can take calls and call out but the media does not it says that it is connected but It will play music through my speaker on my phone. Now I am able to get it to work once I Restart my phone and connect it again but it will not connect to the media once I shut off my car and get back in. I have to restart my phone every time I get into my car if I want to play music through it. Just curious if anyone else was having this issue.
It's a known issue with all of the ICS roms based off the current leak they are based on, it will probably be broken until a leak with a fix or an official ICS build for the Rezound comes out.
Your options are keep restarting your phone or revert back to a GB based rom for now.
ya that's my dilemma I want the wireless tethering with the ICS but want the Bluetooth with the GBE

[Q] Is you car Mode Disabling bluetooth media?

When I first Installed my rezound car dock, I also installed an Aux Audio 3.5mm jack.
Later I upgraded to a bluetooth receiver, and stopped using the dock because It couldn't provide enough power to the phone due to bad design.
iBolt replaced the dock for me free of charge, and I started using it again sparingly when I need a charge, but there has always been a nagging issue I'm not sure how to fix.
When Car Mode is enabled, as in it says car mode enabled in the notifications, it pulls the bluetooth media (pandora HTCmusic or gmusic) to the external speaker.
The second I take it off the car dock, or click disable car mode in the notifications, pandora/gmusic/htcmusic goes right back to the bluetooth receiver.
Running Newt's ICS atm, but I've had the same Issue with Venasaur 3.0 to 3.2
I don't use the stock HTC car app, I have Carhome V3 set as my default car app.
So Far I've tried
1) going into the car app settings, and choosing my bluetooth headset as both the default phone and media device. Didn't work.
2) Disabling the stock car app in the app manager. Didn't work, the Notifications said car mode enabled, asked which app to use, and then pandora played over the external speaker.
I had already upgraded to ICS before I got the bluetooth unit, so I'm not sure if this happens in GB or not. Anyone able to test this?
This isn't a BIG issue for me, as I have two other power outlets to charge my phone from in my car. Just sorta an annoyance.
Hopefully I can let you know in a few days here. I have the iBolt dock too. Ssame story, got the replacement one from their support because of the charging issue. Anyway, I've been using a crappy old tape adapter in my car, just ordered a bluetooth adapter and should have it soon.
I wondering if it's a Sense thing. Back when I was on stock GB I couldn't figure why BT kept quitting on me in the car. I kept closing out of the HTC car dock because it was stupid. Well, it turned out that closing the dock app automatically shut off BT. I froze the HTC car home app (Car Panel?) in TB and didn't have any more problems. These are the kind of things that make we wish for AOSP/AOKP! I'm using con's rom now, though.
for me its not so much the Car home app, but being in car mode (Icon in the notifcations) that kills ONLY Bluetooth media.
BT works fine for me. iBolt dock, rooted/stock (GB), Carhome Ultra as the launcher. I use BT all the time in the car, for streaming audio (Subsonic/Pandora/etc.) through a Moto T605.
