Hi, I was listening to my music through my pc via the 3.5mm line out and one of my mates phones me, of course i thought it was boss when I could hear him through my speakers but was a bit gutted that when i use my line out it disables the mic on the phone. Anyway to fix it so it doesn't disable the mic?
Thanks for any help,
Luke.
This is what i use

All the info on there - the main thing is if a call comes in whilst listening to music theres nothing to disconnect!!

Nope u have to use a mic and a earphone to get it work , standalone earphone will not work with the builtin mic else u will have to take out the plug from jack to get both working on the device.
It seems I can not find a way to route the sound to the internal speaker when a (headset)plug is connected to the phone. I would like to use the phone for conf calls with a docking station as well as for charging as listening to music. For the conf calls I need the internall speaker to work but it seems this is not possible when connected to a docking station with a sound plug.
Rerouting software like this one does not work with a plug plugged in.

Does anyone know of a way to make this work? I was alrady amazed that this was not available in S2P or Windows mediaplayer before but now it is really annoying for calls. This basic functionality was already on 4 year old Sony Ericsson phones.
Many thanks
Update: I tried the rerouting with a bluetooth headset and it does not work. I am unable to reroute a call that is answered in a headset back to the phone
Has anyone actually gotten this yet? Ive got an HTC Apache I really need this done to, the back speaker went out i need to see if i can make it ring from the earpiece.
Hi friends,
I would realy like some help for an issue that i have with my omnia 2..
ok, so basically i was making a setup in my car so i could listen to music
by connecting a 3.5 male to male cable (which i've made myself so it would be as short as i need it to be) to the AUX input in my car stereo system.
The music sounds sweet.
I also liked the fact that i could hear the person i was talking to on my car's stereo system, and obviously the music stops when you get a call so it's very nice..
now I know that the omnia 2 has 2 microphones (which is amazing!)
one for a regular conversation, and another one which is way more sensitive
for the use while you're using it as a speakerphone.
The problem is:
when i connect the 3.5 plug in the phone it lets me select:
1. Headphones
2. Headset
3. TV-out
when i select either of 1 or 2, the phone uses the regular mic and not the speaker mic.
i can hear the sound of my speakers in the car
(or maybe i will even hear it the same with headphones)
but i can't have the other side hear me as well as he will with the speaker phone.
I know it uses the regular mic because when i disconnect the 3.5 plug from the phone and put it on speaker, the other side hears me much much better.
(phone and me stay at the same place at the entire test)
my question is:
is there anyway to change (perhaps in the registry?) something
for the phone to use the speaker mic while anything is connected to it's 3.5 jack?
any help will be much much much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Roy.
Are you sure the mic doesn't work when you select "headphones"? When I use it like you do in the car, it works perfectly. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised it did, as opposed to Omnia I.
"Headset" means the original headphones with the mic on the cord, while "headphones" means regular headphones, and then it automatically uses the built-in mic.
If it doesn't work like this, take it to the service if you're still within the warranty.
Hi,
I've been using the Car Dock Home v3 app launched from HTC's car dock when I'm driving. Yesterday I was also listening to some podcasts form the phone by connecting the headphone jack to my car's aux input. I had a bluetooth headset connected.
Then someone decided to call me and it was disastrous. The car mode causes the phone to read the incoming phone number and let you answer or decline by voice, which is neat, but instead of going through the car's speaker (headphone out) it goes through the built in speaker. I don't know why it would do this, but with the car noise it was impossible to hear it.
Then after answering the call, instead of going through the bluetooth headset, I heard the caller through the car's speakers (sounded great) but they couldn't hear me at all. I can switch to the bluetooth headset manually, but it's too dangerous to try and navigate the tiny buttons and text while driving. With another caller they could hear me, though.
So I can't figure out what the phone is doing when you have something plugged into the headphone jack but no wired mic. It seems like the phone's microphone is active, but not in speakerphone mode, so it's probably too quiet on the other end to clearly hear me unless I talk right into the mic, which I can't do while driving.
So questions:
1. Is there any way to increase the internal mic gain to use the phone connected to the car speakers as a true speakerphone (and can this be done without creating echo/feedback)?
2. Is there any way to have the phone automatically prioritize a connected bluetooth device over the headphone jack?
3. If the answers to 1. and 2. are no, is there any way to have a car mode specific dialer screen with nice big buttons for selecting audio source manually?
4. Can I get the car mode to read incoming call info into the headphone jack rather than the internal speaker?
Thanks!
Key action you must take when your phone rings...
DON'T touch the screen. Click your BT device to answer.

Are you sure that works? I didn't try that, but I used my bluetooth headset to launch genius and dial a contact by voice. Everything worked through the bluetooth headset, but once the call connected, it switched to the car's speakers.
I'm pretty sure that the car mode initiates hands-free mode, which automatically turns on the phones internal speaker when a call comes in. See if there's a setting that prevents hands-free from turning on in the app. That might fix things the way you use them.

While the phone is ringing, activate the connection via BT. It works for me now, and it worked on the stock ROM. But you don't ned to take my word for it, just try it.

I'll give that I try when I get a chance. There is an option to automatically enable speakerphone in the car dock app, so maybe disabling that will also fix the problem. However, so long as the headphone jack isn't in use, it works exactly like I want it to:
If the bluetooth headset is connected, it gets used for answering and making calls. If the bluetooth headset is not connected, when answering or making calls the phone's spakerphone is automatically enabled.
The issue is that with the headphone jack in use, it seems to take precedence over both internal speakerphone and bluetooth headset.
My guess is that if the headphone jack is in use the phone assumes that you're using a wired headphone/headset with its own mic. If that were the case, the behaviour actually makes sense: if you've got a wired headset in your ears, that's where you'd want the audio to go. I suppose if there is no external mic but you're wearing headphones, using the internal mic without speakerphone gain also may make sense: you'd hear through the headphones and hold the mic near your mouth to talk. The problem is it ignores the case of external speakers versus headphones. Especially in car mode it should be smarter about how it deals with these options. Of course, some of the issue may be due to the third party dock app, so maybe I'll have to try with that disabled or contact the developer to see if he can do anything.
It's little usability issues like this that make me want to drop Android, although I have no idea if there's actually anything that really works better.

Training yourself to touch the earpiece instead of the phone to answer is not overly difficult. It only took me one or two "oops" experiences to stop touching the phone.
I use the phone and aux input all the time while driving, but the difference is that I don't have a bluetooth headset involved.
Audio comes out of the headphone jack and I speak into the phone's mic and it works fine. Turn the phone volume to max and use the headunit volume to adjust.
So I have had a chance to test it. It's true, if you use the bluetooth headset's button to answer a call it does get properly routed to the headset. If you answer by taping answer on the screen it gets routed the headphone/speaker + internal mic.
It does also seem like the internal mic is used correctly and pretty much sounds as good as the speaker phone mode, so answering a call while wearing headphones or using speakers doesn't seem like it should be a problem (assuming echo isn't an issue with speakers). Don't know why that one caller couldn't hear me, but that could be some other reason.
What doesn't work, though, is initiating a call from the bluetooth headset if the headphone jack is in use. Using the bluetooth headset button to initiate genius voice dialing works as expected until the call is connected, at which pint it then gets routed to the headphone/mic instead of the bluetooth headset. There doesn't seem to be any way around this. Of course, since you are initiating the call, it's probably not too bad to just unplug the headphone jack first...
Hi all,
Basically, I'm trying to figure out if the subject is possible.
What is happening now is that if I have a standard stereo audio cable plugged in (non-mic) with BT connected to a headset and I receive a call, the audio for the call goes through the headset jack instead of the BT, and because of that there is no mic to pick up my voice. This leaves me able to hear the caller, but them not able to hear me.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben

Had sort of the same thing happen to me, except I tried making a BT call while plugged into headphone jack and other end was plugged into my car's aux port. Started to make the call and quit. Guess its another limitation of the current set of roms, if I'm reading correctly.
My question is under android I would have a microphone on the keyboard so that if I was going to navigate somewhere I could just hit that and say where I wanted to go instead of typing out a long address. I am using HTC Locations, and don't see any provision for allowing me to speak my destination point.
I don't think that's possible yet, but there is a lot in the way of BT profile and audio settings that may help that. we'd probably want to look for something that doesn't auto cut off when a jack is inserted
as it stands, BT is buggered (music playback) on ultrafruit ROMs anyway so we're not missing much, xbmods ROM worked fine but his left for pastures new and everyone else is being silent on the matter.
