Wanting to use my phone as an alarm, but force audio out through the 3.5 headphone output which I have plugged into the aux input on my hifi, that way I can wake up to half an hour of my fave tunes. Have tried a few alarm apps, but all seem to force output to phone speaker, and don't seem to have any options to force output to headphone socket. Anyone any advice? Is there an app that will allow headphone socket audio out forcing, or an alarm app I may have missed that will allow this.
anyone know if the official samsung dock forces all audio through the dock audio out?
I have the official car dock and if you tick the option under dock settings it will send all audio through the output if you plug your cable into the dock. Never tried it with an alarm, but I would think it would work.
I tried using the keyboard dock with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the alarm sound went through the output.

I have the official Fascinate car dock, which works great, generally speaking. However, I have noticed a particularly annoying issue. I was previously on ComRom 2.1, and now am on jt's CM7, with the dock audio fix and the Galaxy S dock audio redirector app. In both cases, even though audio for most things comes through my car's speakers, in-call audio absolutely refuses to transmit via the USB connector. I have to manually press the speakerphone button and use it that way, which is really lame.
Before I had the dock, I hooked the cable directly to the phone's headphone port, and when a call came in, it would route the audio through the car speakers, and activate the speakerphone mic, as it should. I don't understand why the USB dock will not route the in-call audio properly. Is there a technical reason preventing it, or is it just a design deficiency?
Also, there is a Dock Audio setting in the Android OS settings that claims the phone must be plugged into a dock before you can access the settings, but when I actually do plug the phone into the dock, this option becomes grayed out entirely. Are the settings only available a desk dock or something?
Nobody? Am I the only one that uses the car dock or something? I can't believe I'm the only one that's frustrated by this lack of functionality in an official accessory.
I love the Moto Car Dock on the Atrix but there is one thing that drives me crazy! When I cut the ignition in the car and kill power to the Atrix USB the audio stops. I guess the feature is called auto-pause. Then when I remove the Atrix from the dock the audio starts playing again through the phone speaker. The only way this won't happen is if I pause the audio of quite whatever app is playing the audio before I stop the car.
Does anyone know a workaround or a way to disable this default behavior?
I have the OEM Vibrant car dock, and my Vibrant is connected to my cars BT for phone and media. If I put my phone in the dock, and not engage the USB, my audio defaults to BT. If I push the USB in and "Dock" it, it triggers car mode, and all Audio defaults to speaker. I want it stay defaulted to BT. I have found apps that will default it to the 3.5mm audio jack, but nothing for BT. If someone knows of a way to prevent the phone from "docking", but still charge, or an app that will default audio to BT, please let me know.
Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.
For what ever reason any alarm app I've tried, refuses to play on connected, external speakers... The port works fine... I can play music to the same external speakers via a music app (e.g. play music, playerpro), and watch videos fine. However of all the alarm apps I've tried, (default, alarm clock X, alarm clock pro) all refuse to use the external speakers and play on the phones rear speaker... For clarification, i am refering to speakers connected via the 3.5mm audio port and yes, the connected speakers are externally powered.
I have used these same alarm clock apps before (droidx) and they used external speakers fine... Is there a setting in the phone I am missing somewhere? Does anyone NOT have this problem? If so what alarm app are you using?
I've searched around (ALOT) and found nothing, please forgive me if I missed an already existing thread about this...
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
Bunni-
bump , anyone
Bump, seems its notifications as well... For example, while speakers are plugged in via the 3.5mm jack, sounds like the beep played while adjusting volume (via the volume buttons on the side of the phone) play via the phones speaker and not the attached external speakers....
Anyone have a way to change this functionality?
