When making a phone call using the official Samsung Car Dock, the caller's audio comes from the phone's internal speaker instead of the line out on the dock. To make matters worse, the dock blocks the internal speaker making it very hard to hear the phone call.
Is there a way to have the audio come thru the dock to my stereo? I have the AUX out connected directly to my stereo; and I checked the setting to pass audio thru the dock. Music and Navigation all send the audio to my stereo thru the dock; but phone calls are using the phone's internal speaker.
Previously, when I had the cable plugged in to the headphone out jack, the phone calls would play thru the stereo with no problem.
Any help or ideas? Hopefully, I'm just missing a simple setting somewhere...

OK so here's what I want to do.
I'm currently my Hero as a kar kit by plugging it in via my cars aux input. I also permanently use my phone to play my favorite tunes via the aux input. So when I get a call the music pauses and continues when I'm done talking.
I'm now interested in buying a bluetooth speakerphone as the hero does not have echo cancellation and audio calls echo's back horribly in my car.
Will I be able to pair the bluetooth speakerphone/headset and have music playing via the 3.5mm jack at the same time? Will calls be handled via the Bluetooth device or the audio jack?
Maybe you could ask a Mod to move this to General -> Q&As? It isn't Hero specific & you could get a bigger audience. You should mention what version of Android you'll be running though.

Ah ok, thanks for the tip.
I went ahead and bought the Bluetooth speaker without knowing the outcome. When the phone is plugged into the 3.5mm jack a headphone icon is displayed. When the bluetooth device is connected, a different bluetooth paired icon is displayed.
So what happens is exactly what I wanted - When listening to music via the 3.5mm the audio is played via the car stereo. When a call comes in the music gets paused and the audio get routed the bluetooth speaker.
Inexpensive and simple car-kit solution.
Glad you got a result - & that you posted on it
What kit did you buy to do this? I am looking to do the same!
First off I have this mount. My Rezound is Stock. I can stream music through a cable but not voice calls. I cannot get the Bluetooth to work while it is in the dock. I can tell it to send it to BT but no sound comes through. I would really like to get Voice to come through my car speakers but I can't find any settings.
You said you've tried headphone jack plugged into car stereo via cable? Works fine for me using the same dock , stock and rommed, both before and after i uninstalled the dock program that was annoying. Has on all 3 of my android phones, usually with no dock. Have music or podcasts going, call comes in, shoots right through stereo. Bluetooth may be funky depending on how its setup with the car, stereo, or other device.
If a cable is not working, i'm baffled. Your stereo would need to be set to the "aux" input of coarse, and the cable plugged into to stereo/phone.
But how about the BT setup, what are you using for that?
That dock should have no impact on your BT connection. When you connect to your BT device, go into Settings, Wireless & Networks, Bluetooth Settings, find your device down at the bottom you're connecting to, hard press on it and select Options..., make sure both phone and media are checked under Profiles.
Yeah, for Bluetooth music streaming in my car I also had to tell my car to connect portable music player. Then I got the music working through my stereo in addition to the phone calls.

I have searched and tried a few apps but I am still unable to get the Speaker Phone
audio to output via the doc (I can get all the other audio just not the Speaker Phone).
My main issue is that while in the dock the audio is too low to hear the caller,
I can hook up a small speaker/amp so I can hear the audio a bit better.
I would rather not need to plug it into the top headphone jack.
So the questions are:
Is there a audio re-director that will redirect the speaker phone audio out
through the dock (via the usb, as it does with the other audio sources)?
If not can I mod the doc to tell it to push the speaker phone audio?
(I read the "Fun with Resistors" thread and did not find any info there).
Is there a good (that someone can recommend from experience) Blue Tooth Speaker
or Speaker/Mic that I can mount in the overhead that works well with this phone.
Thank you
Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my bluetooth on this phone. I plug my phone into my cars speakers to play music and have my bluetooth headset on my ear for phone calls. On my Epic4G it automatically used bluetooth when a call came in.. but this phone doesn't. When I get a call I can answer it with my bluetooth physical button but it uses the phone mic and the car speakers. Is there anyway to fix this? I cant stand unplugging my aux cable EVERYTIME i have to answer my phone
thanks
Hi,
I have a BlueAnt bluetooth set in my car but it keeps dropping out and sounds crap.
I have a proper Samsung Car mount with a 3.5mm Audio jack that connects to my Audio in on the Car stereo.
Using this, I can play music from the SGS2 and hear things like GPS software instructions on the car speakers.
The question is, how do I get the phone side of things to play via the 3.5mm jack and use the built in phone MIC for the pickup?
Ie same as speaker phone but coming through the car speakers instead of the phone speaker.
Surely this is just a setting / registry change etc?
Neil.
