[Q] [MOD][THINKTANK] 3.5mm Car/Home audio issue - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there have been a few posts on different rom threads about the audio jacks not working but i thought it would be easier to talk/work it out if we dedicated a thread to it.
Personally i have tried 2 kernels
JL1 and JL5
on two different roms
Pepperkake, and Nero v3
I couldn't get the Official Samsung home app to run it kept crashing i don't know if its due to a framework change or that it wasn't designed to work on froyo.
Let the Thinking, Modding, and Building Commence!

Mods please make this a thread. This is a problem that is plaguing manning of us with the vibrant. I believe that the only help that we can get will be from a dev.
I have also tried many ROMs to fix this problem.
stock JL5
Auxura's newest
and all that the OP has listed as well.
Other things I have tried:
changing to TV out on both settings hoping that it could use the TV micro usb audio out.
running Desk home in the backround
both the car home 2.2.1 from nero v3, and 2.1 from the market
tried faking the market into thinking I was running a vibrant from another counrty that supports 2.2... No updated car home
There must be a missing driver that was not included with the 2.2 leak that custom 2.2 ROms where made from.
Could we take anything from the T-mobile tab's 2.2 OS? I see that also has a car dock that supports audio out. It should be a close match to the real stock 2.2 OS.

Mine wasn't working until I upgraded to Nero V3 w/voodoo and stock kernel. I didn't do anything special or load anything out of the ordinary to get it to work, it just did. I'm glad it's finally working though.

The Kernal that came with Nero?
If not which stock Kernal are you reffering to?
I have re-flashed Nero v3 at least three time to see if it would work.
Just to clarify, you have audio working from the OEM samsung car dock? Not from the phones 3.5mm.
But from the Dock's 3.5mm jack?

I have seen it said that 3e recovery fixes the issues with the headphone jack. So I'd try a stockety stock stock kernel and see if that fixes it. Not a voodoo kernel, ULF kernel, ect...

I did some looking and this sounds like what your talking about. This supposedly contains 3e.
[ROM] JL5, build date 2010.12.20
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881542

I can not believe that this doesn't fall under development, but trying to figure out how to bypass T-mobiles data throttle can stay in the DEV area.
We are trying to find out what is missing from EVERY Rom that would allow everyone with a Car Dock to use a feature that was supposed to have been enabled with 2.2 (froyo)
Thanks MOD

[Q] headphone jack is hijacking my bluetooth

My droid would use whatever BT headset (stereo or not) for the phone when my headphone jack was also in use (to use car stereo) for audiobook player.
I have new Fascinate and I swear it did the same until I rooted it. Regardless, it will be close to a deal breaker if I cannot find a solution to this.
Even if the headset indicator is ON, the sound still goes to the headphone jack, RIDICULOUS
In my opinion, plugging into headphone jack should only take over media type output (music, audiobook player, video) and LEAVE PHONE ON BLUETOOTH. We should at least be able to chose this behavior in a setting.
So is this a Samsung screwup? do other Samsung devices behave this.
How hard would it be for a dev to build an app to FIX this on Fascinate.
I thought I was the only one with that situation... I would love to know the answer/fix, however I have a feeling someone will be by soon to move this to the general forum...
I actually wanted the opposite. Overall, I liked how bluetooth was handled on my old chocolate and was surprised by the differences in eclair. I expected my bluetooth to be able to grab all audio, regardless of what apps were running. For instance I wanted to use my BT with a fring call. Seemed sensible!
Anyway, I went searching, and the prevailing opinion was that bluetooth was locked up until Froyo (and tightly tied to actual calls).
Does anyone know if audio is handled in a gracefully way in current AOSP or CM?
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

I believe that my Droid 1 behaved my desired way on 2.1 and 2.2, can't remember if I used this way on 2.0...
I was assuming this was a 'problem' on Fascinate or Samsung, not android OS in general.
I thinj its a problem with fascinate. I was driving for 5 hours last week and I had bluetooth connected to my garmin and used one of those cassette thingies to play music from my fascinate. Sometimes I were able to talk without unplugging the headset.
Another reason I suspect its fascinate is cuz when I use my old blackberry headphones I have unplug and replug to use it for conversations.
Btw whats good stereo heaphones with mic that works with the fascinate?

I have a friend with a Vibrant and his apparently does NOT have this problem, so I am wondering if a Bluetooth file from his system might work on my phone.
There are 3 BT files in system dump:
BT OPP
BT services
BT test mode
so is one of these the file that would determine what path audio would take in any given situation? (e.g. headphone jack occupied while BT headset connected, desired paths media>headphone phone>BT)
I REALLY need to fix this before my 30 days are up or phone probably going back.
I got my hopes up when I discovered the 'secret menu', but I don't see any setting in there that seems appropriate.
I've tested with the superclean 0.7 DL30 rom and this same problem still exists
Please let me know if anyone finds a solution.

stupid ass samsung friggin morons!
It looks like this is a problem on other Samsung Galaxy S phones as well, see a thread and app someone made in the Epic forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842571
it is just the phone app
this problem is extremely frustrating. if i have headphones plugged in the mic works just fine. the mic is only turned off when i use an AUX cable. It would be nice to be able to drive and not have to worry about unplugging the AUX cable everytime I wanted to use my phone.
I downloaded the Epic app they made over there but all it did was hard lock my phone with my first test. I dug into the code but I'm a wee bit over my head so I'll hit up the books and see if I can't work with the guy who made the Epic one to see about getting it working with our phone.
This was with the .7 superclean DL30 rom, I'd love for someone else to try one of the other DL30 roms and see if they have any better success.
I contacted the author of the app and he replied back stating he had a buddy with a fascinate test it and it worked fine and that it might be an issue with the busybox version included with the .7 superclean 2.2 rom I was running and that it relied on busybox having the pidof command. Later tonight I'll dig into this a bit more and post back hopefully a fix and instructions on hwo to ensure this is working
I got this working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842571
The Froyo version works just fine on the original DL30 leak and on rubiks .3 DL30 but does NOT work on DL30 super clean .7 or .9. In .7 I got a hard lock that I had to do a battery pull to fix and in .9 the app ran and looked like it worked, but the audio routing did not change as expected.
All credit to cicada, I did nothing more than test it
I have not tested this on any 2.1 ROMS

I am on original DL30 leak and did NOT work for me... at least with Ambling Book Player. Not sure if it matters what app we are using to play media file. It shouldn't, but this whole problem should not exist. SAMSUNG morons!
Ok so i tried with my Rubiks DL30 ROM installed. The app opens up, no FCs or bricks or anything, but it doesn't work. I had my wife call me when i was driving, I picked up and she said she could hear me but I still couldn't hear her. I'm assuming that the car's mic is functioning but it still doesn't fix the issue. Is there a bluetooth adapter out there i can stick in the aux jack? Well i guess the first question should be, can the phone handle having two BT devices connected at the same time? i.e. hands-free calling and BT audio adapter
I'd say maybe try another full wipe and re-flash. I've switched over to the superclean EB01 roms, currently on 2.3 and hasn't had any issues with this working on 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3. I did have 2.2 initially not function with this tool, similar to what you reported above with it looking like it was working but not actually doing anything but a full wipe and reflash did the trick.
ok... thanks, at least you've run into that problem so i'm willing to give it another go. I'm currently on SC 2.4 so i guess i can be your guinea pig
I'm on SC 2.4 currently and had it stop working on me again. At work now but I'm going to try setting the app off and then back on, I have had to do that sometimes when flashing as the files get overwritten. This was working properly in SC 2.3
Hey man, thanks for the updates and info... you're really like the ONLY person that's giving me any hope on this. I thought the compatibility issues were busybox related? So I don't see why it wouldn't work on SC2.4
Would someone please fix this on Fascinate... ? pleeeeezzzzzz

[Q] Bionix-V headset issue

I asked this question in the Bionix-V thread, but it's so crowded that it got buried real quick.
I cannot make hands-free calls when my phone is connected to any stereo/headphones via 3.5mm jack. The voice call sound just doesn't come through to the 3.5mm jack and the other party can't hear me through my mic either. Once I unplug the jack the call works fine like any other call. It worked on stock but it doesn't work here. Installed this from a fresh ODIN too.
Anybody have any recommendations?
Im not having any issues! That's weird. You didn't flash a different kernel with it did you?

I flashed the alternative DoW 1.4. Wonder if that's it... I just flashed the stock ka7 kernel. Will test it and see.

I'm having this same issue, currently on Bionix-V with Dragon Kernel. Just need to get this working like it used to and my phone will be perfect!
Haven't yet flashed back to the original Bionix-V kernel, only because I don't wanna lose that great Voodoo sound I get with Dragon Kernel, but sacrifices may have to be made if I can't get the calls to work through the speakers.
Anyone know a kernel with both Voodoo sound and the ability to make calls through speakers?
EDIT: it appears to be a problem with all I-9000 based kernels. So people like me who want Voodoo sound AND hands free calls will have to wait for it to be implemented in a kernel based off the source code, which should be released shortly.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So I actually reflashed Bionix-V and have the kernel it comes with. I did not reinstall DoW. According to what you said, it should work fine now? I'll have to go test that. If so that would be awesome.
Edit: Yep that must have been it. Tried with the stock KA7 kernel that comes with the ROM. Thanks for the help man you got a thanks from me.
Had an issue with before 4/5 using dow where sometimes when unplugging my stereo jack it would crash the phone and power cycle. Very annoying. No problems since I flashed bionix w/ stock kernal.

[Q] Speaker mode using regular headphones?

I was wondering if there are any kernels out right now that let you use regular headphones like they are a mic'ed version. I remember an older 2.1 Axura build letting me do that, but it doesn't seem to work on Bionix-v 1.2.1 KA7 voodoo kernel. Maryland currently has using your phone while driving as a secondary offense, but may change that soon, so any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

aGPS not working on any 2.2.1 ROM

Hey,
I've tried almost all 2.2.1 ROMs now, frost, darky, atriarc, loki yet on none of these ROMs could I get the aGPS to work. It works flawlessly on 2.2 ROMs otherwise... What could be wrong?
I've tried faster fix, gingerbread.zip and sgps.zip from the forums, etc. already..
Sent from Bionix on Vibrant
then go back to 2.2... i don't see much change between 2.2 and 2.2.1 since we had voodoo on 2.2
but w/e
My gps was perfect when I was on Frost, after flashing sgps. Have you tried the hardware fix?

I have Simply Honey 2.5 with GPS fix plus there is another forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970
This one has made my GPS best its ever been and probably best it will ever be considering it is Samsung..
Well, I did that immediately when I noticed that the 2.2.1 ROM isn't locking on... I had just replaced back the FFC mod camera and then I was planning to run 2.2.1 so that I can benefit from its camera firmware. So I thought maybe I screwed up the contact.
But that didn't happen. Once i flashed 2.2 back, i got a GPS lock in 15-17 seconds on every cold start.
Installed the sGPS.zip and Gingerbread.zip too, alternatively, and together, also done an ODIN and then fresh install, but none of it helps... Tried fasterfix too for India...
Anyone else facing this problem ???

[Q] What Roms support A2DP?

I'm trying to find ICS or JB Roms that have A2DP support. Until today I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 which works great with my car's stereo and I'm able to stream pretty much whatever I want.
But wanting to update my phone to the latest android versions I started flashing some Roms and I haven't found one that would stream music via Bluetooth to my car's stereo.
Roms I've tried so far with no luck are:
CM9 Stable
AOKP JB (10.5.2012)
Slim Bean
SuperNexus Build 2 & 3
Aberration 1.3
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I've been able to use A2DP to my car stereo on both cm9 and cm10. Make sure you delete the pairing on your stereo before connecting again after you flash a new ROM. That may be your problem.

Thanks for the response. I deleted all the saved paired devices from my car and I tried again with both CM9 stable and CM10 latest nightly and the stereo receives the song's info but it when I press play it the phone gets stuck playing on 0:01 of the song and nothing happens after that.
A2DP seems to be broken in a lot of kernels from reading around the dev forum. Try a different one.
Edit: Kernel, not rom.

Thanks for the response. I installed CM9 stable with the next kernels:
Siyah-v4.1.6-mswap
N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-AOSP
fluxi-xx-I777-7-29-2012
And still no luck getting a2dp working. I'm starting to think that it might be my car's stereo, I have clarion head units on all 3 of my vehicles and they all use "Parrot bluetooth module" whatever that means.
What I still find weird is that the Rom I'm running right now works great, so I guess I'll be running GB while I figure out how to get this working with a ICS or JB Rom.
I too am having the same problem with the A2DP support. I just flashed my 1st ROM on my GS3 and I'm not getting any audio through my car stereo speakers. Are most of the JB ROMS lacking this support? By looking at most of the posts, A2DP support seems to be broken. Almost makes we want to revert back to stock ICS :crying:
ROM currently running: Codename Android 3.6.6

Or you could look at it this way: He's providing another data point that says that a different JB rom on a different device has the same problem. That more than likely points to a problem in JB with A2DP that is not just on the i777...

No, I look at it like it's about a different phone that has nothing to do with ours. And needs to be posted in the proper section.
