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?

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
OK everyone. I have an issue with my vibrants ear speaker that you listen to people speak through. Sorry if there is already a posting on this but I was not able to find this specific issue anywhere. Here's the deal.
I woke up the other day and the ear speaker on my vibrant had stoped working. Everything else on the phone works. everything else. Even when i put it on speaker phone it works but not on the regular mode. I was running Bionix 1.3.1. I then used odin to restore it to stock and the same issue was present in the stock rom. Then I reflashed Bionix with the same issue.
I decided to try a different rom. I flashed SimplyGalaxy_RC3.2 and it worked. It fixed the speaker issue. I also tried a similar rom, XWJVB_i9000_Gingerbread__v.4.1 and it worked on that as well. No issues what so ever. I then took it back to stock to reflash bionix 1.3.1 and the issue came back on stock and on bionix 1.3.1. For some reason the ear speaker will only work on those 2 roms I've stated. I'm assuming its a software issue since it will work but I am stumped. Can Someone please Help Me?????? I've tried to redownload and flash bionix and stock incase they were corrupted filed but same issues.
I sold my 3D to someone and have been trying to put a new rom on it for em. Everytime I flash a 2.3.4 rom everything works EXCEPT during a call you can hear the person talking but they cant hear you. And I know the speaker works because voice commands work fine but during it call it doesn't work, period.
Sounds Like a personal phone issue..I've been on 2.3.4 with multiple roms and never had this issue.
Sent from a little place called ETERNITY in the 3rd Dimension.
I never had that problem running 2.3.4 ROMs either.
I honestly don't get it. Every 2.3.4 rom I tried to put on the phone would have the issue with not being able to be heard during a call. I tried 4 different roms and had the same issue everytime. Put a 2.3.3. rom on it and I could be heard during calls fine. I dunno but I got tired of fooling with it.
I did notice one thing though... when wiping in recovery I got an error that said
E:can't give path "/sdcard/.android_secure" to format_volume
Think that might have something to do with it?
OP, did you do the EVRC-B mod? If so, undo it.

I don't even know what that is lol. This is basically the scenario. I can flash ANY 2.3.3 rom or lower than that and everything works perfectly fine. But as soon as I flash any rom with a 2.3.4. base everything works except for callers being able to hear me. It's crazy... I even tried the stock 2.3.4. deodexed update and it was the same thing. Flash a 2.3.3. rom and boom, they can hear me again.

The EVRC-B mod enhances voice, the same settings found on Verizon phones but in some cases it might not be supported by the tower. Its accessed in the EPST edit menu, via your MSL code.
But if you're flashing the ROMs with voice performance changing, I'm not sure whats going on. As I seriously doubt the EPST settings get changed by the ROM.
I could be wrong.
I don't know either... im clueless. First time i've ever had a hangup like this when flashing. I put it on the phone for her and everything was all good until she got a call and realized they couldn't hear what she was saying. I thought maybe it was a bad flash but hell i've tried every rom in the development forum almost.
none
Give the guy his money back, put it under your car tire, then smoke the tires, that phone sounds retarded.
Try revolution by Mike and see if that shows the same issue.
If it does then either your doing something wired while flashing, have some app messing crap up, or its hardware problem somehow.
Likely its user error somehow though. I dunno any roms that flip evrb on for voice by default for the mere fact that its not supported everywhere.

But how would it be user error only for the 2.3.4. roms lol. Im sayin... i'm not doing anything different. Just download, transfer from pc to sd and flash through recovery like I always have. If it was user error it seems like id have problems with the 2.3.3. roms too. I gave up on it though.. technically it's not even my phone anymore lol
Guys I have a severe problem with my phone. The thing is that the when i make or receive a call the audio is horrible, I mean it's like there is some weird vibration (as if there was something inside the phone speaker). Now the other speaker (for music) works perfect.
I got this while on CM7 (I've been using it for a month and never had an issue so I don0t think it's CM7 related. I'm on stock values (no UV/OC or anything, on stock CM7 kernel also).
I tried everything, I also flashed the original firmware with Odin and the problem persisted. Do you think it's a hardware issue and I have to get it to warranty?
Please help I'm going mad.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm on ICS Passion V12 rom and I have this issue, I hope someone can advise how to solve it. Ever since I flash this ICS Passion rom, my friends start telling me that when they say something, they can hear echos back and background noises. On my end, I have no problem hearing them. I used the speaker all of the time. I believed this issue only happen when I turn on the speaker. I even lower the volume down and it's still happen.
Looking at the OP and thought this is an issue with mute/unmute so I tried it but it doesn't help. I also searched thru the forum but unable to find the answer. Is this just me with this issue? I really like this rom and hope to get this problem resolve. If you know the answer, please advise.
Thanks!

My phone does that when i turn on speaker phone also, only to the listener on the other line.
I have seen this happen on my phone as well. I have also had this problem on other non smart phones and also on the stock rom. It does seem to happen every time using the speaker phone on passion v12 though. Just last night I had it happen during normal calling (not on speaker phone) but it was only for a brief moment. The rom IS in beta so maybe it will be fixed.
Thank you for reply to my question. I went thru 950 pages last night (what a pain...hehehe) in the developer forum and found number of others are also having this issue. Some are suggesting to use V11. I probably will give that a try b/c I only use speaker for phone so I can't use phone with this issue.
Anyone know if flash to V11, do I need to do wipe, wipe, wipe before flash? I want to keep the settings and app, etc...
Any good ICS rom beside Passion?
