Is there any way to route phone calls through the car dock (and into my car stereo) with the Fascinate? I'm on CM7 and the external speaker volume is too low for hands free driving. I'd rather not have to shell out the $ for a bluetooth speaker since I've got my car dock wired into my stereo.
I have thought of this too but even if you had the audio out to the stereo it would sound horrible since the fascinate does not utilize a second mic for sound cancellation. The other person would always hear an echo.
This was the setup I had with my Droid1, which sent the call audio through to the car stereo and used single phone mic for my end. It worked flawlessly.
Try using the headphone jack, I've done that many times and everyone hears an echo. Maybe the d1 just has better noise cancellation, even through one mic.

Has anyone found any in-ear canal headphones that have a mic attached to the cord, similar in design to the white iphone head phones, but go in the ear canal? Also, when playing music, does the music pause when you receive a call or do you need to pause it manually? I saw that you could play music do other things on the phone since it multitasks pretty well.
I am using Jabra BT3030 and it works like that.
I would like to know it to. the ones that are deliverd with the hero hurts my ear it doesn't fit perfectly. i think i have small ears . i tryed the xperia headphones but the mic didn't work.
i searched ebay but couldn't find any for hero.
Well it doesn't need to be just for the hero as with a 3.5mm jack it should work with any mic and headphone.
P.S I think but don't count on it.

You can try Stereo bluetooth headphones, "cans" style like the old headphones with padding not those earbud type. The Hero has Stereo bluetooth compatibilty and will give you music listening upto 10m away from the Hero with, pause, start, skip and reply functions as well as answering phone calls using the omni direction mic in the right headphone "can".. look on ebay you'll find them for under £30 or 35Euro

Hey,
Try out my solution:
Htc Hero std headset + Koss portapro = amazing!
Fraction
Htc bh s100
I've found the HTC BH S100 to be the best A2DP headset ever, sounds great, has excellent battery life, high output power, short charging time and a standard 3.5mm stereo jack, so you can attach your favourite headphone to it (I use Philips' SHE-9501 extra-cheap super-mega-boombass earpieces!).
I'm just wondering if the S100 will work with the Hero that's coming to my home..........
Simpler than Koss modification, quite affordable (30 euro's) in-ear headphone (great sound if you are a bass-addict), working mic + button:
V-Moda vibe duo. --> Officially made for iPhone, but works fine on my Hero!
I guess that all iPhone designed earplugs+mic will work, so a whole array of products is available... Ultimate ears also have a model for iPhone, and UE usually has a nice balanced sound.
happy shopping!

hi
i have tested the lg arena km900 headset and ist works pretty good
the headset has a button with mic and they are inear (ear canal headphones)
very nice sound and loud too! play and pause works !
lg arena km900 standart headphones maybe you can buy them from ebay
byby
HTC RC E100 + Sony MDR-AS50
This is a great combo for the Hero.
My only complaint would be that it would have been better if the connector could have been the 3.5mm jack rather than the MiniUSBExt. My old Nokia headset adaptor could do all this through a 3.5mm jack.
you can just use the iphone headphone it works. everything works mic, play pause, i'm using the iphone head phone from candy skull. like the apple iphone headphone it has the switch and mic on the right side. or if you preferred just use the apple headphone
Klipsch Image S4I
I bought a pair of Klipsch Image S4I wich has super clear sound.
But the mike and buttons does not for with my Hero, only start/stop music.

I have the official Samsung cardock, and connected it to my car radio (the cardock has a 3.5mm jack output). Nice, now I can listen to the music on my phone over my carspeakers!
BUT:
Whenever I make or receive a call, the sound of the conversation keeps channeling through the phone's own external speaker. Disabling the phone's external speaker (either during the call or beforehand) does not fix it. It just néver get's through the 3.5mm jack output to my car stereo. Annoying, since my car is pretty loud when speeding.
[Q]How to channel the audio of a voicecall to the jack-output? Does anybody know of a fix for this? I have looked around-and-around-and-around, and have asked this before. Just can't believe I'm the only-one that is bothered by this!
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BLUETOOTH-CARKIT-SUGGESTIONS, no matter how nice you guys mean it
Anybody any idea?
Nobody no ideas?
I would like to do this too, speeding along the motorway the phone speaker is just too quiet.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one... Now let's hope some dev is bothered by the same problem
I guess this is gonna be one of those unanswered questions...
Bump-bumptie-dum
I recon if I bump long enough, someone with the solution should notice this question sooner or later; Although I realize that moment might be somewhere around 2015, with an answer like "Buy a galaxy S9 mate..."
Anyone?
Is the S9 there yet? Or else a solution to my problem?
I have a std aux input into my car stereo. Plugging a stereo 3.5 lead from the phone jack into the stereo aux I can listen to all sounds from the phone over all car speakers including calls... Just like when a headset is connected. Calls go over car speakers and phone mic picks up voice.
It would seem then that its the official samsung dock being treated different to a simple direct lead connection.
My only gripe is during calls the phones mic works but thinks its on a std call and is a bit weak. Wish I could force the mic into speakerphone mode or the levels associated with that mode anyway. Btw... Turning on speakerphone while lead is connected stops the output over the speakers.
I have a trrs mic / stereo splitter adapter and a seperate car 3.5 mic but again the mic levels on the phone in headset mode need boosting.

Hmm... So maybe if I use a splitter to merge the signal from both the cardock AND the phonejack...
Thnx m8! Not entirely what I was looking for (one more thing to do when plugging in my phone in the car), but it just-might-work!
Will report back
Just note I do not 'need' the splitter to make it work. Without a splitter it works just fine using car speakers and the phones mic (as the aux lead is std audio lead only - not including the third ring position for the mic).
I just got the splitter to use a seperate external mic in the car. The splitter simply has all 3 rings to make phone think its a full headset connected like the set that comes in the box with the phone and splits audio and mic into 2 seperate connections. This way I then take the std aux lead from the audio split to the stereo for listening over the car speakers and use the mic split for plugging in any std 3.5 external mic.

I understood that, it's just that I would probably need a splitter in my specific situation, since all my music gets played through the cardock by default as soon as I plug in the phone... It's possible to disable this automatic switch of audiorouting when the phone get's plugged in though, but somehow it just doesn't feel right to NOT use the audio-out feature of the cardock
Ok so my gf just got the GSII and she is having a problem. She uses an aux cord in her car to plug in her phone so that it goes through the speakers. When she plugs this phone in and makes a phone call, the person on the other end cannot hear her, but she can hear the other end.
Has anyone seen this before and do you have any fixes????
THANKS!

I haven't really run into this situation, but I'd guess that when a 3.5mm plug is inserted in the phone (for the aux jack) the phone "assumes" it is a wired headset - so it is outputting call audio over that cord and into the car's sound system, and looking for audio input from a mic on that line (that doesn't exist, becuase it is just a patch cord to your head unit in the car). A couple options that I see if this is the case:
a) put the call on speaker phone - this will either put call audio on your end on the phone's external speaker or the car's stereo (not sure which) and the phone will take audio input from your end via the speakerphone's mic
b) get a bluetooth headset and use that for phone calls while plugged in.

OHHH I did not think about the speakerphone thing. Thats very strange though as im pretty sure android should know better....
But yeah she has a bluetooth but isnt a big fan of using them
Thanks for the suggestions
Another option - try a car dock cable. I think this makes call audio default to speaker, but I think it can be switched to "normal" mode.
My wife and I share a car which does not have bluetooth. To make use of hands free we have a cradle and a cable which connects the headphone socket to the input on the car stereo. Conversations are then heard through the car speakers and the phone microphone picks up our voices.
I have an HTC One X and this works fine for me.
My wife has a Samsung SII but when she tries the same setup the microphone seems to be unable to pick up her voice at a reasonable volume - she sounds very quiet and partially muted. I had a look and couldn't find any microphone settings in the OS. I did experiment with a couple of calls and found:
1. With the phone speaker disabled the microphone doesn't pick up very well and the person at the other end of the phone struggles to hear. The sound in the car from the other person is great - via the car stereo.
2. With the phone speaker enabled the microphone work really well and the other person can hear perfectly BUT the sound in the car is directed through the phone speaker and NOT the car stereo.
I checked with my HTC and all I have to do is plug it in and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions as to why this happens with the SII and what I can do about it?

How do you exactly connect the phones to the car?
via Cable or via bluetooth?
If I connect my SII to my car, the microphone of my car is used and my phone only works as transmitter between the phone cell and the car speaker/microphone.
The car does not have Bluetooth, we use a cable.

I have an aux 1/8 stero aux jack in and blue tooth for the telephone
THE PAST
With the note 2 this was a breeze headphone jack from phone out into the mercedes aux in and everything came through the car's audio system.
Easy and good sound for phone and music. without the aux hard wire the car's bluetooth worked well with the telephone calls and notifications
TODAY Note 3
If i use headphone jack out, then sound from apps hard wired into aux works well, but the phone calls will not re-direct thru bluetooth nor pass through the headphone jack out into the mercedes aux in.. this means i cannot hear the phone ring nor make nor hear in coming calls..
Suggested solutions--please
i am not all that tech savy. my current solution for driving alone is headset hard wired to headset. ....i like kilpsch. I have tried playing with the settings and cannot get everything to work as it did with the note 2 in the past.
I tried looking around and did not see a solution posted elsewhere.

Question, does the bluetooth in your vehicle only manage calls and not all audio coming out of your device? I'd assume not if you are having to hardwire the phone in order to listen to audio. That just seems very odd. I'm not certain that there is even a way to adjust how the phone manages different outputs in this sort of setup, but you might want to have a look at the call answer options when you have the device set up in this fashion. There may in fact be a way to answer the call via bluetooth, I know when I am linked up in my vehicle there are several options when a call comes through, one of them being "headset" I believe, which is bluetooth.
I dont have the issue with mine. I have a Nissan Maxima 09.... I can not play through bluetooth, so I go through the audio port as well. I answer my calls while BT is on even when playing music. Only thing I can think about is you have the volume down on one, namely your BT audio. The dang N3 separates an remembers volume on multiple devices. Your car should switch to BT once you get a call though. Your car will get the signal and switch.
Can you test whether or not it works if you have BT headphones or an ear piece? I can use my BT headphones to control the music: play, stop, next prev... while I am listening via the headphone jack. And still answer calls.

2010 mercedes audio system Blue Tooth only manages telephone, never BT audio from note 2 or note 3.
i have tried playing with the settings menus. Could this be an idiosyncrasy of the mercedes system rather than the note 3?

Yes... There may be an updated audio system firmware for your car. I am going to check on mine when I take my car in for the 50k tune up. Might have to swap entire radio system out, not speakers just console.
With NOTE 2 worked well as slade described with his nissan. telephone through blue tooth and music/stream through aux out jack on phone to aux in jack in car . this was very acceptable for me.
With NOTE 3 unacceptable. if plug in my aux to car aux, then no telephone sound at all.
could the note 3 blue tooth software have changed so that blue booth for telephone cannot be seprate from aux out through headphone jack?
how can i fix this???????????????????????????????????????/
