Ok so I have a Pioneer AVH-P4100 Car Stereo. It has a USB plug that controls ipods or thumb drives. It has worked on every usb device I've pluged it to it so far. However, not with the Vibrant. When I plug it in it just keeps saying "reading". I think it may have to do with the fact there are two memorys in this phone and this radio can only see one at a time. Can anyone help?
what if you go to
menu-Settings-wireless and network-usb settings
and changed it to ask on connection.
plug in it choose one, see if it reads, if not unplug, plug it in again choose a different one and see if it reads.....should be one that works. im guessing the media player setting.....but i dont know, just a guess.
NOTE it will turn off USB Debugging.
I've tried every setting none of them work. I really think it has to do with the fact the radio is getting confused cause it see two drives

agreed....
I think the stereo gets confused because of the internal and sd memory trying to mount at the same time. These stereo's are not made to handle this. Mine does the same thing. I think the only way around this would be to find a way to tell the phone to only to mount one or the other.

Thats what I think. I will be loading a song on my internal tonite and remove the External and try.
Are you set on hooking it up with USB? I'm sure you've thought of this but you could always try a straight up auxiliary cable if your stereo would allow, worst case you could get an FM adapter for your car and plug it into the headphone jack

Sound is very important! I have a very high-end system with USB I wont lose quality. And FM adapter is lame the sound would really poor! But thanks.
Do you have an aux input? I just plug that in and use the phone for controls. Pretty awesome for movies, slacker, etc.

I agree, if your system has an rca jack, just get a 3.5mm to rca cable, then not only can you listen to your music on the phone, but you could stream pandora/slacker.....only down side would be you loose the ability to control your phone through the head unit.
I use a car mount and connect via auxillary input. The sound is great and then when I'm on phone calls, the music pauses automatically and the car speakers act as the speakerphone. It's pretty much awesome. The added bonus is being able to stream Last.fm or podcasts all over town or even play a movie for the other folks in the car.
The headphone jack works great for me, all I do is connect then sit the phone upright in my cup-holders. Bam. Lovin it. Pretty much have no need for CDs anymore
Thanks everyone for your opinion. I just wanted to be able to use the usb because its nice to control it from the radio
Hi rekspe13, I'm with you. I have the exact same problem. I have a usb port which when I plug my Vibrant into, tries to read the phone as a usb drive but fails. However, it does recognize that there are two drives, "USB 1" and "USB 2" as it tries to read. I sure hope there is a nice easy solution for this problem. My stereo also has an sd port but it's time to stop doing the double duty of uploading audio separately on both phone and external sd card.
Isn't there a solution to connect our Vibrants to devices that support ONLY ONE USB drive at a time?
My car stereo doesn't show the files even when I select Mass Storage Mode.
try connecting via blutooth...
Bluetooth? I don't think it is the best solution. Shouldn't we be able to use our Vibrant as a Mass Storage Device? Maybe mounting only the external sd card.

As far as I know Vibrant has a really good sound codec, Wolfson's, and when it detects low resistance at the 3.5mm jack, it sends out very flat line-out output. I think this sort of things have been discussed in one of Voodoo Sound threads in i9000 forum. Anyway as long as you adjust your car stereo's equalizer properly you should get pretty good sound quality.
Voodoo Sound by supercurio that's being implemented to Vibrant's custom Kernels now should improve sound quality by oversampling, amplifying and removing hissing from Vibrant's sound output. Read this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806195. Very helpful.
I hope someone can help with this question. I'm looking to identify a method to select the audio output source through an app or some other method, ideally through tasker or some state aware app.
My situation is this, I have a car head unit with built in bluetooth but it only supports the headset profile but has a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. When I am listening to music via the headphone jack and have a call come in the phone tries to row the audio output out the 3.5 jack while the stereo switches over to the bluetooth, causing a mad scramble to unplug the headphone cable. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and found a solution, if not I'll probably be digging into some development to see if I can come up with something to do this for myself.
Thanks for any suggestions
I'm also curious on this topic, in a slightly different capacity - I'd like to be able to listen to my podcasts on my bluetooth headset - it seems either it's unhackable, or there are just not many experts on the subject.
Well I found a bit more information but I'm totally new to android development and really not done much multimedia coding in general. I've found a few helpful links that havn't entirely discouraged me, but I could be misreading them.
I'll be digging in if I get some spare time this weekend and hope I can come up with something unless someone knows of something already Hint..Hint
I'll try to keep posting so if anyone else needs something like this.
Surprisingly .. no single direction or helpful response (including mine) in 4 years in XDA for this request/query?? I think this is the most exciting challenge for a developer but not seeing the spark? Are we the only users who needs this feature in the world?
Hello all!
This could be the place for people to detail what outboard DAC's they're using with their GSIII. All of you audio centric people can use it as a source when shopping for a USB DAC.
Post some details about your phone, and what you worked with! Also, post what hasn't worked for you and maybe more knowledgeable members can help you out.
I looked for a thread on this and couldn't find anything so far. Hopefully this one will be helpful.
Here is a list so far of DAC's that are reported to work with the GSIII. Note that some of these also have amplifiers integrated in them.
-Emmeline "The Predator" (predator of wallets!)
-Fiio E7
-Headstage USB DAC cable
-HRT MusicStreamer II
-iBasso D12
-ODAC (Objective DAC by NwAvGuy and Yoyodyne Consulting)
-Topping D1 MKII
-Topping TP30
Here are some DAC's that people have reported DON'T work with the GSIII
-Fiio E17
-M-Audio Transit
Any others or corrections, please fill me in.
Anybody tried using one yet?
Are you talking about this?
http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/music_box/2010/12/dulcet_downloads.html
If so, nope. I don't think I'll ever have the need for one as I'm fine with what I use currently.
I'm not enough of an audiophile for it to matter.
Fiio E7 has been. I believe DACs based on TI USB controllers are more compatible at this stage.

That is the device that I'm talking about. However, there are many types of that device from pocketable versions to much larger components for your living room.
It might not appeal to you, but its becoming pretty popular these days for the hifi crowd.
I accidentally started a new thread with the exact same topic, whoops.
Here's what I can add:

Also I am guessing that you meant to write "Headstage USB DAC" it looks like it was just reviewed by Headfonia. No biggie.
Thanks for starting this thread....I would love to get better audio output from my GS3 into my car stereo system.
One quick question....Is there any way to have one of these USB DAC devices hooked up and be able to charge the GS3 at the same time?
I would love to be able to put my GS3 in a dock, hook one cable up to the microUSB, and have it be able to go to the USB DAC, charge the phone, and go into car mode. The car mode could possibly be achieved via NFC tags.
I appreciate any input on this.

No problem. I figured there must be some other curious people like me out there!
Maybe another person who has tried this can chime in, but it seems like you could do it. Possibly if you used a USB hub you could accomplish what you're trying to? Try and dig up a pin out of the GS3's usb port. It also may be possible for you to take an MHL or USB adapter and separate the pins used for charging from the pins used for audio out. Then you could potentially splice the wires to two separate plugs, one used for charging and the other for the USB data.
If that doesn't work, you could try and do the palm touchstone charging mod to your phone so that you keep charging and audio out totally separate. That's pretty involved just for a car dock but hey, I'm not one to know your DIY ability!
For me personally, car audio doesn't seem like the environment to benefit from a separate DAC. With road noise and all, would there be that much to gain quality wise? Haha, I'm probably just of that mind set because my car is pretty loud. Good luck with your project dude.

The Fiio E6 isn't a DAC, but rather a headphone amp.

I updated the OP with a few more DAC's that have been reported to work. Let me know if you've had any experiences with these or others.
Bought Fiio e7 on Amazon and its en route. Should be here tomorrow. S3's DAC is too noisy and e7 will definitely come on handy.
Btw, those who already have one, will e7 use phone's power if it runs out of own battery power? Leaving on a trip soon and need to know if I should buy one of those 12,000 mAh battery packs just in case.

I don't know if you can use the S3's power to charge your E7 but I can tell you that the E7 has CRAZY long battery life. As long as you remember to turn it off. I'm really not sure you'll need it.

Ok, got my e7 and my gawd this thing is amazing. It can go so loud that it would probably blow my ears and headphones before I even get to 50%. Also, on the other side of the spectrum, it can play so quiet that ambient noise is louder than my music, lol. My goal was clarity at extra quiet volume and yes, e7 delivered what I was hoping for 100%. Set e7's volume to 1/60, phone's volume to 1/15, lower PlayerPro's volume even lower and wow the sound is still crystal clear. Of course there is still some of that natural white noise you usually get from electronic devices, which is almost nonexistent compared to other DAC's I've tried, but that can be easily fixed for the peace of mind by setting volume to 30/60 and then using a pair of resistors to lower the overall volume back to 1/60.
Oh and also, looks like the e7 WILL charge from the phone if you want to. Plugged it into the phone, made sure the "usb chg" is on, and I do see the battery icon on the e7 scrolling indicating that it's charging. Not that I'd need that after fully charging e7 before using but still, it's nice to see such flexibility
TL;DR: Mind, blown. The best $71 I've ever spent.
I was under the impression that the E7 had issues with the GS3. Now I'm intrigued.

Dear Friends,
Does anybody know that how can i use an external microphone when i record a video?
I have galaxy 3 phone and yamaha mc7 mic. I can use it when i make audio recordings but in video recordings phone doesn't swift external mic. It continue to use its internal microphones.
How can i fix it?
I have one question more:
What audio quality does galaxy s3 have in video recordings? 128kbbs/44100hz ?
Thank you very much!
Hi there, unfortunately I am having a similar issue. I bought Screencast Video Recorder and it works pretty good. Anyway, on my other non Samsung brand phone, all I needed was a cable with two male ends. One was plugged into the phone and the other into the sound card and Sony Vegas would record the audio stream, while Screencast recorded the video.
The problem I am having with my Samsung Galaxy S3 is the speakers don't disable when I plug the cable in, nor does it record any of the audio.
Any ideas? If I come up with anything, I will update this thread and hopefully it will solve your problem also.
Good luck!
XLR to TRRS
You can actually make a TRRS to XLR and Headphone cable if you know how to solder. You can also buy them online, but you have to make sure that its an android cable and not iphone. Iphone reverses two of the poles, so it wont work with android. The results are great though. Use a dynamic microphone though, theres not enough power to use a condenser( or anything requiring 48v Phantom power). Heres a link to one of them, theyre typically around 30.00, but if you buy the XLR and TRRS Tip, it will only cost you about 15.00 and you'll be able to fix it if it breaks. http://www.plugittech.com/servlet/the-566/New-3.5mm-TRRS-Male/Detail

Hi Matt, that is great advice. I will use that in future, however, I accidently solved my issue.
When I pulled the cord out of my sound card and tried the diff ports nothing worked, so obviously I plugged it back into the mic port, and voila, the sound cancelled out on my S3 and the audio was going directly into Vegas.
So all I need to do now, is plug it into my sound card, unplug it once, and plug it back in, and I am good to go.
So I am a happy camper!

Good to hear. you might also want to consider buying a TRRS to TRS converter, maybe that will fix your re-plugging issue!

That's what the plug is for. To give devices IR-capabilities
But those plugs only works with apps that supports them. Which isn't many.

These don't work very well in a lot of devices, I have built several myself to control a camera using the instructions here: http://www.wegroo.com/photoirmote/diyirmitter/compact-irmitter/
The problem is the headphone jack doesn't put out enough voltage to run the IR LEDs properly. If it works at all the range may only be 30cm or so and the volume on the phone will have to be at max.
Try turning the volume all the way up and testing at close range, it should work but is pretty much useless.
You can also try plugging in a headphone amp (something like: http://www.headphone.com/collections/vendors?q=fiio). This should give decent range but is really inconvenient.
If you don't want to have an amp hanging off the phone and you need longer than a meter range then you are probably going to have to find a phone with a built in IR transmitter.
Hope that helps.
Edit: also, as someone above pointed out, the software you are using might not support using the headphone jack for the remote. Try photoIRmote because that does work, you can point another smartphone camera at the transmitter and you should be able to see it light up through the camera if it is working, at least then you know if the transmitter is even going and might be able to find some other software that does work.

The software works(a lot better than anything else). The problem is that Sony uses some stupid way of detecting headphones on the whole Z line. If you just plug in a 3.5mm jack without any connections, it will not switch to headphones mode. Other phones (like my previous phone Xperia SP) deal with that just fine. It should work with an amp(it should put the necessary load on the phone). The solution is a small otg smd amp without BTL(so it doesn't shift phases). It will take some time but it should work. I may do it in the future if I need it for something.
