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
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.

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.

hi guys i think i saw a thread or post before about this but i am not quite sure, and hate to post the same question that has been answered before but i couldnt find that.. anyways i am running straight up axura 2.3.1 and i noticed whenever i play music on it, i would only hear it on headphones/earphones but not on the phone speaker. any ideas?
thanks i appreciate the help alot
It is like stuck on headphone mode even headphone isnt plug. Ive odin back to stock, reflashed and nothing works
Edit. I dont have any system sound. i can hear alert sounds and all. hmmmmmmm any ideas?
Unless you have the speaker turned off (which I doubt) you may just have a bad flash I have this rom on my wife's phone and I just checked it works fine. So reflash is probably the easiest and fastest way to fix.

i reflashed and back to stock, flashed bionix, axura. still no media sound and system sound. i highly doubt its axura itself, since i flashed it a couple times before and had no/little bugs but not anything with the sound
edit: i was researching and found that somewhere between the line, it might be this issue

how can i flash that?
With the ED01 kernels i have been getting everyone telling me that i sound horrible or im breaking up..i had the same problem with the EC01 kernels and went back to EC10 and everything is fine..i can hear it as well in my earpiece that i sound bad.
I want to just switch back to a EC10 kernel but not of them support edify and that is what the latest and greatest is (which i want)..
anyone have any other workarounds or heard of anything like this?
well i just switched to cwm 2.5 and flashed my EC10 kernel..but now i want voodoo sound 8..why is no one else having these issues with voice quality on specific kernels??
i even have exchanged my phone for a FRU to see if that was it..still the same
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.
