[Q] The No Bluetooth Audio and Headphone Jack Enigma - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Ok, so I've searched the s4 threads for a while now and haven't seen anyone post about this issue, but I've found several threads related to older samsung hardware with the same issue and no real definitive solutions.
In my car I have bluetooth calling but not ad2p. If I plug my phone into the aux jack for my stereo it appears that it disables bluetooth audio, so if someone calls me, my car recognizes there's a call and plays its ring thru the stereo, the audio from Aux stops and it displays the call info on screen, but they can't hear me and I can't hear them. In other threads I've noted that sometimes people can still hear the other caller, but not them. I'm pretty sure this is related to the specific make/model of vehicle.
So I'm curious what workarounds do you guys have?
I'm trying to do this in a 2011 Nissan Rogue BTW.
I'm stock not rooted ATM.
And Thanks as always for any responses. You guys are awesome.

Same thing for me in an 06 Infiniti g35 coupe. I think it has to do with the phone and being plugged in via aux and conflicting with all audio being exported to the aux jack and pretty much disabling the Bluetooth (it certainly blows) hopefully there will be a fix soon.

I am pretty sire all of my phones do this. Note 2 one and the S4

Bump, no workarounds?

that really annoys me also, having to unplug the AUX every time a call comes in while on my Bluetooth.

[Q] Can't take a call with headphones through 3.5 mm stereo jack

Anybody verify that when headphones are plugged in to the 3.5mm stereo jack and a call is either placed or picked up that you can hear the person on the other end through the headphones but the person on the other end cannot hear you?
The mic is essentially disabled when the headphones are connected.
I have confirmed with Blackberry, HTC HD2, & Mytouch Headphones that you can indeed talk to the person. I did have a problem with pushing in the headphones in all the way, & when they weren't in all the way they couldn't hear me so make sure it is fully contacted with the jack.
Well it definitely looks like this is a proprietary issue. I took my phone back to verizon to check whether or not the phone was defective. Brought my handsfree (both Ifrogz and V-moda) to test on in-store fascinate. Made a phone call and the sales guy couldn't hear me. Put it in his storm2 and it worked just fine.
Went back and used a co-workers samsung's handsfree, and it worked perfectly. I wish they would've included the handsfree in verizon package. Unless somebody has tested out another handsfree brand to let us know, I'm thinking the 3.5mm jack is customized to samsung accessories only.
Interesting find!
Keep in mind I'm not trying to use a handsfree headset - I'm attempting to use my Bose In-Ear headphones.
I used to be able to take calls on my Incredible (and other phones) with them if I was out trail running, walking, just listening to music, etc.
You have an excellent good point with regards to a proprietary 3.5 mm port due to the fact that it also supports video out.
get a cheap nokia headset controller ad-54 on ebay.. the changes the wiring so calls can work through headphones.. ie one of these

I also can confirm that this doesn't work with the Fascinate. On numerous occasions, I have been walking to class on campus while listening to music. I assumed I could just answer the call and speak, because I could do that on my Droid X, but the caller wasn't able to hear me.
I'm assuming Bose headphones do not have a microphone, so how do you plan on using those for calls?
You need to use headphones with a 4 prong jack, which has a mic, such as the OEM ones

Plugging in the headphones disables the main microphone on the phone though, even if there is not a mic on the headset. Normally on other phones I've had, I could answer while on the headphones and just speak into the phone's mic, but that us not possible with this phone. I don't know if there is a remedy for this that doesn't involve using a special set of headphones...

I used my old blackberry headphones from my Storm and doesn't work but I noticed my friend had a spare headphones for his HD2. I should asks him for them.i doubt he needs a spare since he rarely uses a headphone.

So I figyred how to use my blackberry headset on my Fascinate. I had to unplug after making a call and then plug it back in.
Why does every cell phone with top notch hardware specs get released with all these tiny little software glitches.

I'm not sure if it was just me but I also had something odd happen. I used to use my iPhone for navigation and music in my car so, naturally, I use my new Fascinate the same way. I received a call while using my bluetooth headset and the phone routed audio to the car stereo instead of the bluetooth headset. I could hear the caller but they (obviously) couldn't hear me. The audio source on the screen was set to bluetooth too. Fairly annoying.
Anyone able to solve this?
Are you on a stock rom or a custom one? I believe this has been fixed with the Super Clean rom.

I'm using SC 2.9.2 and the receiving end couldn't hear anything.
I've run into this same issue. My wife's car has a bluetooth phone connection, so when in her car, I have my phone plugged into her stereo for music. When a phone call comes through, the call is picked up through the bluetooth, but the other end can't hear me unless I unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

Epic: AUX in car - won't pick up Bluetooth calls

I was hoping this problem would be resolved in Froyo, and as of EC05 it remains. When I'm plugged into the AUX connection in my car and receive a phone call, the car's Bluetooth handsfree picks up the call and audio does stop playing, but the phone call audio doesn't switch to Bluetooth. I have to unplug AUX, at which point Bluetooth picks up the audio.
Anybody know of any fixes for this issue?
From what I understand, there is no software fix for this. The 1/8'" audio out is hardwired to route calls to the headphone jack whenever anything is plugged into it (because they assume you will be using headphones with a integrated mic).
Your best bet is the OEM Samsung Epic Car Dock-
http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/26862
It is by far my #1 Epic accessory. It routes the audio through the usb jack into the dock, and from there to your car stereo. Bluetooth calls are not affected. It is the only working solution that I'm aware of.
@mattallica76 - Thanks for the info! That works for me, no problem.
Oh, and, also thanks for linking me to the cheapest outlet.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, it only took a couple days for me to get it.

Making calls via car audio impossible?

Hey,
usually I have plugged my phone via cable into my car radio. So I can listen to music and making calls and I can hear the other side crystal clear over my car speakers.
So it was with Galaxy Nexus.
But with Nexus4 it seems to be impossible. My partner can't hear me.
It seems, that the noise cancellation is active and filters my voice out.
Thats very annoying! Has anoyone made the same experience or a solution for this problem?
I don't know of there's a software solution. Simple $30 hardware solution is a Belkin Bluetooth car adapter. Works with calls and music. Nice. Check Amazon.

I take my calls through Bluetooth to my cars radio and it works really well.
Yea I can confirm the problem happens when on auxiliary in the car, I also made a thread about the same issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027956
Yes, I've seen this too late, sorry!
On Nexus One we found out, that there is a line in the build.prop, which enable/disabel the noise cancellation.
But on N4 I can't find this service.
I don't have bluettoth in my car and it's a software problem. Why is the Noise cancellation enabled while using handsfree? Thats very dumb.
Used the phone through my AUX input in my car to make a call the other day, bit of a delay in the person hearing me at first but after that no problem...could have been a bad signal on one of our phones too causing the initial delay too

Can i listen to calls via headphone jack in car?

It should work right since it is possible with the headphones that come with the iPhone. I know this is completely different since one is a car and the other is earplugs, but it should be possible right? Instead of using the nexus 4 speakers on calls I can use the car speakers. And use the phone's built in mic to talk. I appreciate your input dearly and thanks for any input!
Yes, that's exactly how it works. If your phone is still plugged in when you answer the phone call, the audio will come out of your car's speakers.
I can confirm as well. It works well and I leave my phone in the cup holder while on a call and people hear me just fine. No one has complained about hearing themselves either.

Thumping sound on headphones

I've noticed a loud thumping sound, same loudness as whatever I'm listening to, while using headphones or plugged into the auxiliary input in my car. It happens whenever I do an action like exit or open an app, or when an audio track ends or starts, example being whenever tracks change in Play Music.
Verizon is sending me a replacement phone, so I'll post if I notice it on the next one or not.
Same on T-Mobile version
It happens on my car aux input. Every time I hit play on a song, there is an audible thump before the music starts
This happens to me as well on my VZW G2. Mainly when its plugged into my car and I change tracks.
It happens to me too

New phone is still doing it, but not as bad. Most pronounced in Play Music.
No problem here with headphones or usb aux in Pioneer head. VZW Variant.

I know its not the car's aux input (via headphone jack) as 2 other phones work fine in the same car.
No clue. The two and only things relating to audio I have modded is increasing gain to 65 and removing the headphone notification. Doubt the latter makes a dif. I have used the tone 730 bts, 4 dif sets of plug headphones (one had separate jack for Mic), two dif USB wires for aux through mpt on Pioneer head unit, and one headphone to headphone aux input on Pioneer unit. I get crisp clean audio, no thump.
I've noticed mine does it in the car but when I connect to a Bluetooth speaker or use headphones it doesn't

ok, I've narrowed it down to only happening to me on Google Play Music on the current phone. I have someone from google working on the issue with me now. Did try a different aux/headphone cable, no difference.

Discovered another app that does it, Stitcher. Same behavior, whenever a podcast is started/stopped. Google punted the issue saying its hardware. I opened a case with LG support and they said they are already aware of the problem and are working on a solution to be included in a future update.
Mine does it even on bluetooth. Tested with a jbl charge and a jambox mini.
