Using Bluetooth and Headphone Jack simultaneously - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive searched far and wide for an app or mod to route audio through both bluetooth and the headphone jack at the same time but have come up empty handed. I really want to find a way to do this I have a JBL charge speaker for bluetooth I want to be able to hooke my phone up to my friends wired speakers and connect to my JBL so when I cant be near his speakers I can take the JBL with me and continue to listen uninterrupted if anyone out there knows where in the software media audio is routed and can make this happen for me I would greatly appreciate it also if your a Dev and and know this cant be done please let me know so my search will be over thank you very much

This is a pretty old post but
I too have found nothing to provide bluetooth and wired headset music at the same time. I am going try to make an app to do it and I'll let you know if it is possible in the coming weeks.

Car Dock Question

When answering the phone while in the car dock the audio is routed to the internal speaker rather than through the audio output to the stereo. Anyone know how to fix this?

When you're on a call uncheck "speaker" and it should go thru the car speakers.
It does. But then the mic is muted so no one can hear you

I have 2 dumb questions as I spent the better part of the day yesterday looking. 1. Does it charge the photon when It's in car dock?
2. You mean I can play the music thru the speakers? How? it dock wired to stero?
Yes and yes. It charges while in the dock and the dock has a 3.5mm output cable.
See here.
Or if you have a bluetooth capable radio it will stream thru THAT>>>>

Well Bluetooth works while in the car dock but if you want to hear your music through the car speakers you have to turn Bluetooth off. Then when you get a call, you can't answer it without taking the phone out of the cradle because by the time you turn the Bluetooth back on and wait for it to connect, you've lost the call. Either I'm stupid and missing something or this is a really dumb design.

Exactly, I was almost better off using my old 3.5 to RF adapter because at least then I could answer the phone without having to pull it all apart.
Depends on the car stereo i guess.
I have my phone connected using the 3.5mm cable to my stereo and bluetooth is always connected. when i get a call (no matter what audio source i'm using ) the bluetooth with take over and let me answer through my stereo.

go to your blue tooth settings and select your car head unit there you can edit how the phone acts when its connected then go to your incall settings and adjust those according to how you want it to work,,, I play music thru the bluetooth and it stops playing when a call comes thru the call is routed to the speakers in the car via bluetooth and I use the mic on the phone to talk,, after the call is ended it returns to playing music like normal,, if you have any further problems pm me!

my bluetooth and car dock work flawlessly together. i didn't even have to change settings. the stereo i installed does have a mic so that may be different than what some people are experiencing. it actually syncs my phonebook and tells me who is calling while stopping my music and playing a nice little ringtone through my speakers. highly suggest to anyone who is on the road alot and prefers not getting a ticket.
it's a SONY MEX-BT2900.
car dock + bluetooth streaming music = no wires, no hassles.
I have a Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player. Best Buy is installing it at 10:00AM tomorrow. I will let you know how it works at 11:00AM!
Sometimes my wife's stereo will not pick up BT calls (calls go to the phone, just no audio). And sometimes we realize the car is on (being warmed up or whatever) and get a call, but no audio since its being directed though the car stereo. If this sounds like what you are experiencing all you have to do is hit the bluetooth button from the incall screen. This will route it back to the phone.
There should be no reason to turn on and off BT.
OK Boys and Girls. My Pioneer AVH-P5200BT DVD Player is killing me. (This is a LONG learning process................) TeleNav for Navagation works perfect. I can play music from my playlist and still get directions. Phone works perfect and I have not gotten any complaints. Dialing the phone is easy.
I only have 2 complaints. One (and this is minor) I cannot watch or play DVD unless parking brake light is on. (I dont watch movies anyway) I cannot watch Movies on Photon if it's in the dock. (again, dont want to watch anyway. I was just playing)
Second, I cannot get my music to play thru Bluetooth no matter how hard I try. I turn it off/on, I pair it again and again. Funny thing though. I have BT Headphones, When I pair or look at them, I see Headphones. When I look at my stereo, (or my ear piece), I see a ear piece?
I really, really, really love the setup though. Everything is within easy reach and the way it tilts to me is entertainment delight! (I will take picture later!)
David
OK all, Pictures of my DVD Player Open and Closed with Car Dock below. You don't see my Photon for obvious reasons (I needed it to take the picture) but you get the idea. Also, If you notice its slanted to the left. That is for my easy use, but I can slant it the other way if passenger wants to change playlist and/or navigate directions somewhere. David
EDIT: My pictures failed to attach? Hum........
I don't think that you all understand the original question. The problem is NOT with bluetooth. The problem is that the internal microphone is muted when you shut off the speakerphone function. Therefore when the audio is routed through the aux jack while in a call people can't hear you
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
OK, It worked (I guess firewall at work blocked me?) Anyway, per the last member to post, I do not have that issue. System works as designed. David
Well, they apparently fixed this issue with the last update. So, it now works as it should.

Notifications through speaker when headphones/BT connected

Does anyone else have this problem? For example, while driving and connected to my A2DP headunit, if I get a message from WhatsApp, it'll play through the speaker on the phone and my car speakers. Or if my headphones are connected, the refresh noises from Twitter/Pulse news will also play through the speaker.
Can someone just check if this happens?

Not getting u properly
Well if you have your headphones connected, will some sounds on the phone still play though your speaker?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is a REALLY simple test. Someone please, for the love of god, plug in your headphones and try to update Twitter or something. See if the noise plays through the speaker.
Wow, I'm amazed at how unhelpful some people can be.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
After your last comment im pretty sure that less people will want to help. And its normal when you have something external hooked up wheteher bt or 3.5mm jack to external speakers for sound to play externally.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I have the same issue. While I'm listening to songs, if I get a notification, or even if I take a picture on the stock camera, the shutter sound goes through the speakers. It's pretty annoying if you're listening to something loudly on a public place. Anybody know how to fix?
Hello Forum,
just get this thread back, because i need that feature
Lemme explain:
My Galaxy S2(XXLSJ leaked), is connected into JVC bluetooth car Audio device, which supports incoming notifications from phone.
In the past, with my old Nokia 5800 C6 ported, when i get a SMS, on the dual din screen of my JVC appears a message about new SMS received, and remais there until i read on the phone or touch on it into display.......
Is this feature be possible with a mod on a leaked XXLSJ Rom?
Thanks for helping and answering you Masters

Enable Phone Mic With Call Audio Through Bluetooth?

Here's my situation: In my car, I often have my OG connected to my stereo with an A2DP bluetooth audio receiver (without a mic). This works well for listening to music, or getting directions from the nav. However, if I answer a call while connected to it, I can hear the audio through my car speakers, but the other person can't hear me. I understand that the OG's internal mic is disabled at this point, as it is expecting a bluetooth mic to be connected. The work-around I have found is to disable bluetooth for phone calls. This plays the call audio through the phone speaker, and utilizes the internal mic like normal speakerphone.
What I would like is a mix of the two. I want the call audio to play through the car speakers, but enable the OG's internal mic so I can talk through that. Does anyone know of an app or setting I'm missing that might accomplish this?
Thanks.
No, but that sounds like it would be really easy to code if you wanted to learn some java.
(Disclosure: I don't know java)
I was hoping to use this in the next few days. I don't think I can learn java that quickly. But I agree, it seems like it should be pretty easy to accomplish. Software turns the mic off, it should be able to turn it back on.

Hi Digil,
Did you find a way of doing this? I have a Galaxy Note 2 with the same setup in my car and I was wondering if you found a solution...

Hey Ishkatar, nope I didn't find a solution yet, but I haven't spent too much time looking. I've been busy with work and traveling to see family on this holiday weekend. I'll definitely post here if I find anything.

The SoundAbout app seems like it will work when the phone is connected to a headset (audio out through headset, input via phone mic). But I can't find anything that will accomplish that when outputting audio through BT.

Yes, I tried it and it did not work with BT... After much research and testing multiple BT Manager apps I decided to return the BT adaptor and I'll think about buying a full BT hands-free connector...

Yeah, I think I might be forced to go with that Belkin adapter shown in the link above, which Is too bad because I was hoping not to spend anymore money, haha.
phone mic instead of bluetooth device
I had the same problem. I got fed up and decided to move the bluetooth mic to a more convenient location in my car, since I could not disable it. Before I re-positioned the un-soldered mic to a new location, I decided to make sure my soldering did not inadvertently damage any of the device. To my delight, without the mic being physically present, it defaulted to my phone mic. So, for me at least my problem was solved by removing the mic in question. I have no idea if it will work on other bluetooth devices.
any progress?
Just for info, after much research I don't think this is possible as Android does not allow routing of call audio to A2DP at all, probably due to security reasons?
I just plug a lead to the headphone jack and patch into the auxiliary input of my stereo. I also had one of those USB dongal Bluetooth receivers that worked exactly that way but it stopped working and other ones don't work, the one that did work was able to connect to phone audio as well as media audio. So it seems that if the mic can be disabled form the other end the Android mic will kick in. Android OS sucks you cannot do anything with the hardware. PC's piss over Google.
They probably don't do it because of latency error affecting feedback canceling. And what has external hardware got to do with security. Google just uses it as an excuse to getaway with marketing an inferior OS.
I wonder if I can replicate this. I need to kill the awful mic in my car Bluetooth so I can use phone mic
Has anyone tested this with non-native Calls like Skype, Facebook Calling, Zoom.US, what's app etc.?
it's totally unacceptable that I can use A2DP stereo audio + Computer Built in Microphone, but I can't do this with android!
Companies are taking off the headphone jack but they haven't figured out HD Bluetooth microphones yet!
Are any updates on this thread? maybe some apps could rout mic?

How to boost bluetooth volume on the S4 on the VRUAME7 build

When I use my S4 to play Pandora through my car speakers via bluetooth, the volume drops to almost a whisper when compared to the car radio playing FM or Sirius music. In order to hear Pandora at all I need to drastically turn up the radio. When I disconnect Pandora the car audio volume is soooo loud I'm concerned I could damage the speakers.
In the past I've used Volume+ and Equalizer on my Galaxy Nexus but it seems both of these apps just make the volume lower not louder. Does anyone know of an app I can use to make the bluetooth volume louder so i can match it to the volume of my radio?
I just bought the phone so I'm rooted but it is the VRUAME7 version so I don't have a way of uploading mods through recovery, so please point me towards an app solution.
Thank you,
Z
In my opinion its the fault of whatever you are using to recieve the bluetooth (eg your radio if its built in) I have a car with built in bluetooth as well and mine has the same volume as the fm radio if anything bluetooth audio coming out of the s4 is waaay louder than what comes out the headphone jack.
I had this problem in the past and got nowhere basically the phone sends raw data to the Bluetooth reciever and its up to the reciever to amplify it (whereas with the headphone jack the phone is responible for the amplification) hope im wrong and someone has found a way though

Interesting, I hear you. I'll blame the bluetooth in the receiver but I am hopeful there is a program that i can use through Llama that every time I connect I can have the program go on and when I close the program it goes off.
