problem with AUX - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a problem with my Galalxy S2, when I connect it to my car with AUX cable, I can hear sound only from the speakers in the driver side and behind him, and from the passanger speakers and behind him I cant hear anything. the speakers settings are 50/50, and if I will put 100% of the sound on the righ side, I wont hear anythin.
The AUX cable is 3.5mm on 2 sides, and has 2 black lines on each connector so it means that this is a stereo cable(it was taken from HP speakers).
Can someone please help me?
thank you.

HTC Headset microphone going bad?

i have an HTC Headphone set, that i got from a touch diamond, apparently when i was using it earlier the person on the other line was saying that they could hear static but when i used the USB Dongle with a pair of 3.5mm headphones they dont hear the static anymore, then i try to plug the headphones on the usb dongle along with the 3.5mm stereo headphones, i unplugged the stereo headset and left the HTC headphones on there, and the person said they dont hear static but when i take it out and just put the HTC headphones back in to the phone they could hear static
is there something wrong with the microphone on the headset? because i flashed a different ROM and still the same, but the good news is, is that i can hear audio from both ear pieces
plz help me out, thanks
I've had this happen to me before. Don't know why but a simple soft-reset seems to do the trick. BTW have you modified the Audiopara csv file to increase or decrease your volume in anyway? MAYBE that has something to do with it but don't quote me on that.
That stupid flimsy connector is breaking......well the wires inside are. I've been through 2 in 6 months

[Q] Make calls over external speaker when in cardock

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

People cant here me when plugged into my aux

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.

[Problem] Headphone jacket broken?

Plugged in my phone yesterday to the car using aux and noticed that the sound was only in the right speaker.. So I first thought the cable had jumped out from the aux port, but that was wrong :/
Have tried both in the car, my headset, home cinema speaker and my computer speakers.
The problem is my 3.5 port. When I turn and wiggle the cable do I sometimes hear the left speaker "activate"
Warranty? Even if it's rooted?
Any other way to fix this?
you will need to restore stock rom for warranty, do the pins look ok inside?,left one is the tip, so you may need to hold it down or clean the connection.
I hear some users damage it by bending the connection when in their pocket.

[Q] Car aux-in not detected as headphones

Something weird is going on here.
I have just bought an aux-in cable (ai-net to 3.5mm jack) to plug my phone (Wiko Darkmoon, MTK 6582 based) to my car stereo (JVC G511), but the phone doesn't recognize when I plug in the jack.
However, if I turn up the volume on the car, I can hear music both from the phone speaker and from the car's.
What does this mean?
I tried also with my brother's Moto G, and it correctly plays music through the headphone jack, but with a quite low volume.
Can it be something software related? My phone has 4.2, my brother's has kitkat. Or maybe something is wrong with the cable's pinout? I opened one end of the cable and I see three wires, and this should be enough from what I got to understand.
Btw, my phone works okay with normal headphones
