has anyone purchased this headphone adapter:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35001
I just got it and I can't seem to get my phone to recognize that it's plugged in and I"m wondering if it's the adapter, phone or maybe the rom
I'm running CM 6 on a rogers dream.
Won't Work
Sorry to tell you. So far as I can tell it doesn't work on the dream. I did the same thing. Same site. One hit I had off a www google search said it worked on 1.5, but after 1.6, it no longer worked. I ended up using this. Jabra BT3030 It works great. With a little bit of hacking you can get this BT Necklace
When I had my G1, I had one of these badboys and it worked like a charm: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-HTC-TMobile...096028?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf2078e9c
Got the same one for my Tattoo (click) and it's not recognized, is there no way to make it work, like some driver or anything?
I can confirm that the splitter which can teh man linked, the YC A300, does work on my G1 running BiffMod 2.0
This makes me suspect that the relevant driver is either in Cyanogen Mod 6, or the Pershoot kernel which BiffMod uses. I haven't tried to break it by flashing another kernel. I do hope this at least gives you a starting point.

i have an adapter but not exaclty this one..
if its not working you can try an app called "sound route switcher" or sth similiar.
it forces your phone audio output through your desired channel. so i got mine to work on donut (before it was patched on a cm)
but my adapter uses more battery than being connected to my bluetooth headphones >.<

Thanks, I found this post useful.
A quick search on eBay revealed many of these for five bucks.
I was looking for an adapter that would let me charge and use the headphone port at the same time.
I don't know why they couldn't just put the d**n headphone port on the phone itself. I guess it would have cost them an additional 35 cents per unit. I hate the "break this port and you're screwed" paradigm.
Hello All,
I have been looking for months now for Kernel/Rom version that route the Call audio to the Car USB Dock and from than to the 3.5mm line out
Can Anyone please help me ?
I have read that there are Kernel that does it but yet to find one.
Thanks for your help

I'm looking as well, but I'm afraid no kernel currently implements it
I have read that KF1 support it,
Can anyone confirm?
same problem... newest lite'ning rom.. KE3 Kernel.... for the Galaxy 1 exist a app in the market but it dosent work for the SGS2.

That is false because the purpose of the app is to redirect media audio to the dock. Call audio is not redirected as well.
KF1 supports it? I'm on KG6 (VillainRom) and I won't change to KF until pulser updates the ROM.
Can someone confirm that?
I am looking for the same solution for (official) car dock AND desktop dock. All sounds go through line-out except calls which is kind of a stupid oversight by Samsung.
What I'd like is option to have all audio through the 'line-out' of the official docks
Option to have FM work via the same
Option to have the phone operate like a radio alarm when in the desktop dock
1 question though. My phone died on me tonight and when I got back to the car I put it in my dock which made it turn on right away. I got to input my pin, then I saw it was charging but it switched off and restarted and kept on going (off->on for 15secs-> off).. I figured it was because it was running out of battery faster than it was charging it - ridiculous since I wasn't doing anything with the phone. So I had to unplug the car charger cable from the back of the dock, put it in my dead phone for 5mins then replug everything in again.
Samsung needs to look into that seriously...
Edit: I'm running 2.3.4 XXKG5 atm
Where can I place clarification request from Samsung to support phone calls into the Dock?
I will donate 25$ to the one that will make it work
Anyone else ?
Not sure about $25 but I'd donate a few dollars if someone can make the voice and radio be passed through the usb line out while using the existing apps.
Who knows how long it will take Samsung to implement a feature which I am surprised doesn't already work.
I have used my phone connected through the headphone output to my car stereo and made phone calls using the car speakers for the voice feedback and the internal phone mic for my voice. And it worked really well with no echoing at all which surprised me. I thought with the added volume through the speakers that feedback issue would occur but it didn't appear so. Maybe the secondary mi helps with the eco cancellation.
this problem still persists with XWKI4 stock rom. call audio outputs fine through the headphone jack on the phone itself, but refuses to route through the dock. with all of other audio going fine through usb, i'm inclined to think that it's a bug and can be fixed.
And the problem is also present in XWKI8...
I'd also be more than happy to donate to any dev prepared to look into getting the call audio rooted through the line out. I've been reading into it a little bit and apparently it is likely to be something that can be changed with a modded kernel. Unfortunately I have no developer experience and wouldn't even know where to start.

Hey Guys,
I just purchased a Kenwood KDC-BT952HD. Everythings Smooth With It, Except for the main reason i bought it, to pair it to my phone.
When i connect my Evo 3D to my stereo via Bluetooth, works for a bit, then cuts out. Then my phone freaks out and doesn't let me turn Bluetooth off, then back on. (Only way is to reset the phone.)
On top of that, anything being played via the stock player (which recognizes the Bluetooth connection) sounds so cheap. Pandora on the other hand sounds fine. Not sure why it sounds different between players.
Here's a link to Kenwood's list of compatible Bluetooth devices:
http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/bt/index.php (Select KDC-BT9; KDC-BT952HD) and (HTC; Evo 3D)
Says its compatible, but sounds like crap compared to the crisp sound it has with my iPad, which i don't want to use over my phone.
Any Help Please!
Thanks!
Edit:
Sounds crisp and clear VIA Play Music app, but I don't know what to do about the random cut outs. For some reason I feel its my device that's cutting out, as I can't turn Bluetooth on or off after it cuts out.
Anybody?

Possibly a defective unit. Take it back AFTER trying a stock rom. Ive used mine with the exact same one and had no issues yet.
I have a kenwood bt 838-u and it doesn't do anything like that. I agree with leo it might be a defective radio. Also have you checked for any firmware updates for the head unit.

Thanks, i haven't updated it, but im not sure how to. I believe i do it through the USB port? theres also no firmware available to download from Kenwood's site under that specific model.
Another option would be to try sync another phone or bluetooth device to it.

I haven't been able to except for my iPad, which worked fine with no issues. I'm going to try the stock ROM in a bit. I'll try my girls 3vo when she gets home tonight. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Anybody know how to update the firmware on the stereo?
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Starting to thinks it might be defective. Tried my iPad again, and it plays fine, then starts stuttering. This all happened without moving anything. The iPad sat in the same spot when it started, and stopped. I'm hoping there's a fix, or worst case, it's the stereo and I can replace it.
I would contact kenwood and tell them what is doing. Tell them you have tried multiple devices and have the same issue. They might have some firmware update that is not on the website or they might give you an RMA.
Contacted Kenwood, they couldn't help. No updates available also. Although, pure stock rom isn't giving me an issue. I'm going back to my rom, but going to see if using stock kernel changes anything. :/
I'm using freezes kernel.
Found the issue. My boy freezas working on a fix.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Yes there has been a firmware update. (EVO 3D owner)
I'm a new user so I can't post urls sorry:
There's an instruction page and a download page on the kenwood usa site
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY! Part of the update needs to be burned onto a CD and part needs to be burned onto a thumb drive.
I have the same kenwood unit. It was acting squirrly with my evo 3d then I found this update and installed it. It now works perfecctly. Controls Pandora and displays everything!
Pandora tip: Start the app from your phone first THEN go into pandora mode on the unit. It works everytime then.
Any questions? Drop me a line [email protected]
Hey guys, I did a search for my issue, but found no relevant solutions.
I am using a much older ROM, Gingerblur 3.1 with v 1.83 and I just bought a new lapdock. The funny thing is, all the instructions came in Spanish, but I don't think that would necessarily be the issue. The weird thing is when I open it with phone plugged in, it does not go into lapdock mode, but on the phone I get prompted to go into Webtop or multimedia mode. I go into Webtop mode and it looks like how the lapdock mode should look, however, I can not use the touchpad or a USB mouse that I plugged in. However, on the phone screen itself, it shows a mouse pad essentially, and option to go to keyboard, so it thinks its only plugged in via HDMI to a screen only. The funny thing is though, if I do not turn the phone screen on by pressing the power button, it says No Signal Input: HDMI, which implies that it knows a phone is connected via USB since that screen does not come up when the phone is plugged in. I am also not using a case so I know it is firmly plugged in with no obstructions. Someone else had the same issue with a different ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598132&page=2
Please help! Is this a ROM issue? I was planning to switch over to the NottachTrix4G ROM, but it seems the same issue may be occurring there. I think I still have 30 days to return it, but I would love to resolve the issue. Any thanks would be much appreciated.
I had this problem. You buy from onesaleaday? Sent mine to Motorola for repair. Defective USB connector. Thread is in accessories forum. Moto couldn't find serial number in their system, but they took care of me.
Probably your documentation is in Brazilian Portuguese.......not Spanish. Look same but not same.
It is not a ROM issue.

It is in Spanish for sure, I can read Spanish. I bought it on Amazon from some reseller who had only one in stock from Bakersfield CA, which is a 2 hour drive from me. Thought it was a good idea. Should I return it? Or can Motorolla help me out with a product I did not buy from them?
I really feel like the USB is not defective, or that it at least is detecting my USB connection since it prompts the message about NO HDMI cable in place, which cannot be achieved unless the phone is plugged in. Obviously you can't test with just the USB connection alone and no HDMI, but my IT spidey senses are tingling. Could you link me to the thread you were referring to? I was looking for it but I could not find it.

Mine was doing exact same thing. There is a known issue where connectors, especially USB in lapdock do not stick out far enough to make a good connection. I called Motorola, they arranged overnight shipping both ways, no problems. Had it back in a week fully functional.

Turns out mine starts with a serial number starting with a B, but all the localization is for Mexico according to the packaging. Gonna try to see whats up with a warranty.
Edit: My B serial number was in the system, and I have files a warranty replacement request, thanks so much for your help CaelanT!

Glad I could help.
As an added note for anyone else, the shipping is handled better if you have them set up the RMA over the phone, and do not set it up yourself online.
They actually told me this themselves when I called them. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the customer service being as good as it was.

however, this solution actually resolved it for me, I should have trusted my IT sleuthing skills because I knew the USB connector was working since it was charging properly, let that be a lesson to anyone else searching for a solution, if your phone is charging while plugged in, the USB connector is working properly, this is probably related to the fact that I am using nottachtrix4g which I have seen mentioned before as an issue
I had posted previously that not charging was an indication of USB failure. None of the normal USB functions were working for me. My apologies if I sent you down the wrong road.

I sent mine to Motorola as well and got it back with a message that there was not a problem with the device. I was running stock Atrix when I first tested. Nottachtrix didn't work for me either.
I was under the assumption that the Lapdock was simply a HDMI monitor and USB Host. Have since installed CM10 (epinter) and still experiencing the same issue.
**Ninja Edit: Yes I'm a noob
I connect my lapdock and it works. After a few minutes the display still works but the keyboard/trackpad are unresponsive. Any ideas?
Just wanted to post up another suspected failure - i just received my atrix(Hebrew edition) lapdock from Ben's Outlet - no charging on the usb port with my bionic (dismantled the dock location to connect the wires before modifying the casing)
I'm guessing after all the reading in the forums I've done that the only option is to warranty claim with Motorola ?
I also noticed i have no serial sticker on the bottom(but do have the hologram and another model number sticker) - I'll have to check the box for the serial unless there's another way to get the serial number?
Thanks for posting up this discussion! Saved me hours of banging my head against a wall, i really wish the thing was working though...
I just recently bought a new ONN micro HDMI cable from Walmart. When I fist used it, all was fine. Watched movies, listened to music, all was working great. But when I tried to use it hours later, no sound was displayed. After figgiting with the phone and tv a bit ( resetting both, and trying different settings), the sound worked for a bit untill I turned off my phone screen and hasnt worked since. I tried the phone and cable into two other HDTV's, an Emerson and a Vizio... I tried searching for a solution, but all I can find is people who's never got their sound to work. even at first use. And none had the Droid Razr, only Razr maxx
Details about devices
Flashed Droid Razr to Cricket. (not maxx)
50" LED TOSHIBA TELEVISION, 50L2200U
Micro Hdmi cable by ONN
Please help as soon as possible. Thanks
Edit:
When in first use, the phone muted itself and only played through TV, but now it plays sound through phone, and no dound coming through TV.

Seems like a rom issue. But i may be wrong
Well
Lets try this
Switch HDMI Ports
Try a different cable (if you have one)
Try to close all your other sound apps (music player etcs) when connecting the phone to the TV.
If nothing helps, well...i thknk you have any boot manager (safestrap, bmm)...
Try a different rom and see what happens

Yo !
PM me and i'll tell you how to flash roms
There are some tutorials here - but i think that explaining things in a more friendly way will be nice
Right now its 2:19 p.m. here. I'm at work and i leave at 8 p.m.
if you want, you can talk to me trough facebook or msn and then we can go step-by-step on flashing - how 'bout that
or you can contact me on whatsapp (my phone number is on my profile)
Its pretty simple - just never forget to backup ur cid
also...i had the same problem of yours this weekend. But i've found out it was related to hw/sw decoding (using mx player) - switching between 'em and the audio returned. But it may be a rom problem, i don't know...it was very weird to be honest.
problem solved, flashed to a new ROM and HDMI worked perfect.. Now to fine a ROM I like.
