Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,

Trying to use a Motorola s10-hd with my nexus 4 and the headset pairs fine and the controls on the headset can skip tracks, enable voice search and turn volume up and down but the audio still only plays through the phone not the headset. Wtf?!?
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Tried resetting the headset and rebooting phone but still same issue.
Yup. Same headphones, same issue. Some more info: I use P.A.C. 20.1.0 with Franco kernel milestone 1. The headphones initially work upon first discovering but never works after that. The sound plays through the phone speakers even though it says connected. Really frustrating. Tried unpairing, rebooting, resetting the headphones, to no avail.
Scenario: Pair bluetooth headset to phone and ALL sounds play through phone speaker.
Troubleshooting so far: rebooted phone, unpaired/repaired, unchecked and re-checked media bluetooth options, and tried 5 diff media apps. ALL with same result of playing through phone speaker. :/ I believe it started right after this weekends OTA update...
Any other suggestions? The headset is a Logitech H800, pairs just fine w/my S2.
this just started happening to me. Verizon S4 though
Hi guys, so I'v tried to use my Nexus 4 and my RAZR HD and they both have the same issue. When I connect my phone to my car stereos bluetooth, it works fine for audio. Music plays through the speakers just great, and my stereo can reach my contacts. The problem I have is with calling. My stereo has a built in microphone, but for some reason, when I call or receive a call, my phone plays the other persons voice over my car speakers, but the stereo's microphone doesn't work. If I turn the audio mode on my phone manually to "headset" instead of "bluetooth" then the microphone works, but the other person voice doesn't go over the speakers anymore! It seems like the audio out is tied to my cars speakers, whereas the microphone is registered under "headset." Has anyone else ever heard of this happening? I just want both the audio in and audio out to be on bluetooth when I make a call.
When connecting to anything via Bluetooth grinds my gears. Headphones and external speakers connect fine but LITERALLY have to manually connect media audio. Call audio works fine when Bluetooth is on. Any one have similar issues.
I have no issues using my headphones (Bose OE Soundlink). I think it is your headset or maybe a software bug. I do get crackling soinds sometimes tho.
Had the same thing. I went ahead and went to the TMOBILE firmware. I'm done with At&t crap.
