How to play music over the headphones?

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to play music over the headphones? I mean the original hands-free.
When I connect the hands-free to my TG-01 I can use it only to speak on the phone, but the music plays over the phone speaker .
It is bug, for me the worst

Try S2P, that works, as do a few other apps like PocketMusic and WinVibe
It is probably to do with the electrical impedance of your headphones, for instance, if you plug a 3.5mm plug that goes to your stereo, this is what happens, but if i plug in my headphones, works fine, so try another pair of headphones.
Well i was thinking he was tallking about WP7 My bad ....
I'm with WM 6.5 and play the music with Windows Media.
I found the problem. It works with the original headphones. I try with 5 different headphones and only two works. With the other 3 the sound automatically gone to the phone speaker.
Thanks to (InsertNameHere).

yep, this is a known problem with the TG01, it detects the impedence of the phones/cable being plugged in, if its of the wrong type, this is what happens, there are ways to trick it, you need to use a different headphone adapter though, there is a thread in the accessories thread.

[Q] VZW S4 Bluetooth and Headphone Jack

Ok with any other phone I have owned in the past I have been able to plug it in my aux jack in my car to stream music but use my BT to make/take calls. The music would pause during the call and when the call ended it would resume playing through the headphone jack.
The S4 refuses to do this, it is extremely a special kind of retarded.
I have researched CSC feature.xml and others/xml codes and build.prop
What is needed to make this work?
I dont want to use LINK as I feel it is just another layer added to what is not needed. I just want it to work like the GNex, N4, DX, Dinc, D1, D2, Charge, and all the other android phones I have owned in the past running both stock (rooted/unrooted) and CM based roms.
Anybody have an idea on what is needed?
What exactly is it refusing to do? Pause when you get a call? What music player (the player must respect the media intents to pause/mute and that has nothing to do with the phone/ROM in that respect).
If something is plugged into the headphone jack and I have a bluetooth device paired and on. When a call comes in it goes through the headphone jack and through bluetooth. If I unplug the cable from the headphone jack then it allows me to use bluetooth to take our talk on the call.
This is the only phone I have owned that does not allow me to pay music through the headphone jack and take calls through bluetooth without having to unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

I have the exact same issue with my Samsung S4 and have previously used the HTC Thunderbolt without any issue in my car the same manner.
Somehow the BT audio and mic becomes disabled during calls while the headphone jack is plugged in, if there is a way to enable this and disable audio from the headphone jack that would be the solution. So far I have not found a way to do this through any of the settings, very disappointing. It may need a programmatic solution unfortunately...
The sound quality from aux to bluetooth is minimal....why not just use bluetooth? Your making more work for yourself. You'll get calls...the audio will mute...then resume when calls end. I do this in my car...sounds and works just fine.

Guessing they don't have Bluetooth built into their cars. They are using a headset for calls and an aux jack for music.

Exactly... If u wanted my calls to route through my car I would not mind this. I take my calls privately and thus why I do it this way. I know I can setup multiple bluetooth devices and disable phone on one of them. But I have not found a bluetooth adapter to my liking yet.

Bluetooth not working correctly
This is definitely a bug on the s4. In the car I have Bluetooth and an aux Jack. The phone connects fine to Bluetooth and works as long as I'm not using the aux to play music in the car. If I'm listening to music through the aux/headphone jack and I get a call. Bluetooth recognizes the call, music on the phone stops playing, but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. If I unplug the headphone jack I can hear the call. This has been tested on different cars, different roms including stock, and always worked fine on previous phones. Can anyone help? It's easy to reproduce, not sure why more people haven't noticed.
Unfortunately, from what I read somewhere, this isn't a bug, it was intentional by Samsung.
I'm in the same boat, I use BT for my calls in the car, but the headphone jack for music out. If there's a cable plugged in, you can't even manually force a BT connection, it's grayed out and unavailable. Unplug the jack, and BT kicks in and picks up the call. Very inconvenient to say the least.
Any way around this?
I also have a question about how the Samsung will work with this in mind. In the past I have used a Motorola cable that has a micro usb plug on the phone end, and a full size usb and a 3.5mm aux out jack on the other. It allowed me to charge the phone and take the music out when docked in the car. Would this work with this phone? Has anyone tried it yet?
Here is a link to the cable I'm talking about.....

Sorry,I haven't tried that cable. Do you know why Samsung is doing that? I've had multiple phone including the galaxy nexus by Samsung abd never had this issue.

Can't just deselect the "media" (a2dp) profile for your vehicle?
Sent from my device that can send.
I just noticed the same issue with my aux plugged in for music and BT for phone and received a call but could not hear anything. Could make and end calls but no sound in my car.
Seems like both get disabled when a call comes in and the phone is paired. Unplug the aux and BT works for calls fine.
I did some research and ending up purchasing Sound About Pro from the market for $2.99 and it solved the problem. It lets you force the calls to BT or AUX for that matter.
And yes, it still pauses the music and resumes when call is done.
$2.99 to fix a Samsung problem stinks but it works now

I took all the defaults and just turned off A2DP

so with the defaults and A2DP turned off you can make your calls without unplugging cable...and do you use widget to turn it on and off or does everything else work normally with it on as well? i had phone call audio set to force bluetooth and sometimes after unplugging aux cable then going to headphones it would play through speaker until i switched widget off...will try with defaults when in car again, just curious how it works with you..
thanks

Correct. All works like it should until you force something. As a matter of fact just try it without changing anything. I let app decide

update...seems to be working great with default settings...didn't even have to purchase premium, think i might just because i was about to buy a bluetooth transmitter to fix this
I tried sound about and one problem I'm having is when using headphone jack for music and bluetooth for calls it won't play audio for voice dialing through bluetooth but once you make the call it goes to bluetooth. I use Google for voice dialing much faster than svoice. Seems like the first time it works then later after playing music it doesn't. Any setting I should change in sound about

I updated to oc1 with nk4 boot loader and now the headphone jack doesn't disable Bluetooth. Sweet.

Android bluetooth and aux speakers question.

So I have this problem
I was wondering if I can play music on my phone through both the Bluetooth and the AUX port at the same time. When I set up the Bluetooth and the AUX port at the same time it only plays through the AUX port.
Anybody know anything I can try or the setting I need to change?
The device I have is an Samsung S3
Thanks! :angel:

The other one is for the inbuilt mic. It may be because you're using headphones without a mic or no headphones at all.
Remove headphone jack and put them in, it happens when the headphone jack isn't properly connected.
Happens with me too whenever i have a cover on my phone
